This week, we have devastating food news to report: a local food cart owner was detained by ICE last week and is being held in Tacoma’s ICE facility.⁠

The cart will close permanently, and the owner is expected to be deported to Laos.

Remember to continue to do what you can to keep our community members safe, and resist in whatever way you can.⁠
