Northgate and Vallarta supermarket chains are vocal supporters of immigrant communities in Southern California, addressing challenges faced due to recent ICE raids. Many workers, like Evelin Gomez at Vallarta, report that these raids have left customers feeling unsettled and questioning their place in America. The supermarkets, owned by immigrant families, emphasize their commitment to inclusivity and safety, ensuring that all customers are welcomed during these trying times. Their stance reflects a broader acknowledgment of the difficulties immigrants face in the current socio-political climate.
The immigrant experience in this country is too often met with hostility, rather than gratitude.
I’m very glad that I’m able to interact with people that are really going through things that are really tough right now.
The American dream doesn't exist anymore.
We believe everyone deserves to feel safe, welcomed and valued.
