The incident, which included mass arrests as agents threw flash-bang grenades at an angry crowd, sparked a strong community response with protests outside the restaurant in the following days to show support.

El restaurante anunció el cierre por dos días luego de un “incidente traumático que involucró una operación de cumplimiento federal”.
