Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are conducting inspections at several DC restaurants, including Millie's and Pupatella, in a notable escalation of immigration enforcement under the Trump administration. The presence of multiple agents at Millie's created a tense atmosphere, as they requested employee I-9 forms under a notice of inspection. Owner Bo Blair expressed concerns about the agents' focus, asserting it felt like harassment of his law-abiding employees rather than targeting criminals. The CEO of the restaurant group is advocating for better treatment of staff amid this heightened scrutiny.
They all came in all of the public entrances at the same time,â says owner Bo Blair.
Itâs pretty unnerving to the staff, obviously,â says the groupâs CEO Marisa Casey.
