A popular taco truck in Southern California was temporarily abandoned after employees fled the business over fears federal immigration agents were close by, according to NBC4 Los Angeles.
…
An employee told NBC 4 Los Angeles that the workers ran off on Saturday after noticing what they described as a suspicious vehicle and receiving a tip about federal immigration agents within the area.
“We only saw the car and that’s all. Before we could see them, we left,” Miguel Romero, a chef at the business, told the outlet.
The business was left deserted, with warm plates of food, untouched drinks, and cash still sitting in the register. The name of the business is not known.
Four employees were in the truck at the time of the incident before they all ran away.
Just hours earlier, the truck had been busy with customers until reports emerged of ICE agents conducting enforcement operations in the area.
The business closed for the day following the incident, per NBC4 Los Angeles. None of the employees were detained by ICE agents.
“It’s getting complicated because we can’t work properly,” Romero told the outlet.
