Kid Rock's restaurant shuts down to protect undocumented staff from Trump-ordered ICE raids
Nashville, Tennessee - A restaurant owned by MAGA musician Kid Rock was recently closed down in an attempt to evade one of President Donald Trump's immigration raids.

According to Nashville Scene, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, along with the Tennessee Highway Patrol, went hunting for undocumented migrants in south Nashville on Saturday, which caused a number of employees at Rock's the Big A** Honky Tonk Rock N' Roll Steakhouse to not show up for work.
An anonymous employee told the outlet the restaurant quickly grew "crazy busy" by the evening as major events nearby let out, but there was "no one in the kitchen to cook the food."
By 9:30 PM, the "manager came back and told anyone without legal status to go home."
Trump has been leading an aggressive anti-immigration effort that has seen hundreds of undocumented people deported to foreign prisons without due process.
As the president's most outspoken supporters in the arts, Rock has regularly used his influence to push many of Trump's most controversial views, including the narrative that immigrants are "murderers" and "rapists."
The Trump administration and immigration agencies have insisted their efforts are aimed at getting rid of violent criminals and making America safer.
ICE reported that 196 people were apprehended in Nashville that Saturday, but the Department of Homeland Security admitted that at least 101 of them have no criminal history whatsoever.
