If you raid them, they will…come right back?
I was shocked to read that ICE raided El Pollo Rico and that it has been shut down for almost a month. For those of you who live in the DC area and haven’t tried their chicken, boy are you missing out on a treat. This family-run restaurant is a favorite not just of Latinos living in Arlington and Wheaton (and now Manassas, Chapin tells me), but of people living all over the DC area. You walk in one door and wait in the inevitably long line for juicy rotisserie chicken with tasty mustard/mayo sauce, thick french fries and cole slaw. It was one of the first places my husband and I went out to eat when we first started dating in 1999 and a regular haunt of ours for years.
Know what the HUGE ICE RAID netted for USCIS? Four undocumented family members of the long-time owner. Three weeks of no Pollo Rico. Looking at the numbers of agents sent versus the number of people netted, what a shame and what a waste of taxpayer money!
