Teddy's Red Tacos has experienced a dramatic drop in sales post-Trump's immigration announcement, with January's sales halving. Owner Teddy Vazquez notes that fear of ICE enforcement among immigrant populations, who are a significant portion of his customers, has caused people to avoid dining out. This concern extends to many in the restaurant industry, where owners are implementing plans to safeguard employees and educate them on their rights, highlighting the fragile state of businesses reliant on immigrant patronage.
People are afraid to go out. There's no movement. There are no people coming in to eat... People don't want to go out because they don't know what is going to happen with this administration.
A lot of people who support Teddy's are immigrants... Customers are thinking: 'What if ICE shows up while I'm eating at Teddy's?'
