FTA: "Ahead of rumored ICE raids, managers at all three of Smith's establishments reportedly instructed employees without legal status to vacate the premises during the Saturday night rush. "

Will these --------- be arrested on felony charges like the Wisconsin judge?

Oh, ------- supporters, so no.

Another fine example of the appalling stupidity that infects all Trump supporters.

Typical MAGA hypocrite. Like thousands of contractors who use the "my subs hired them" excuse to make a few extra bucks.

Little known fact: He didn't let them go home to avoid the immigration fols because he sympathised with their plight. He just needed them back tomorrow to operate his restaurant! Kid Rock = Hypocritical piece of filth! No talent ass***e!

Exactly! WTF??

What happened to New Rulz!?

Shouldn't he be immediately arrested (and THEN indicted) for obstructing fascism?

Only the weak will fail..

Smith owns several of the large bars with music on lower Broadway here in Nashville.

He's the same guy who pays a low wage to musicians in bars that charge top dollar for every drink. Musicians have to pass a tip bucket. -----!
