Muskegon sandwich shop says business is booming after saying they will no longer serve ICE
MUSKEGON, Mich. — A Muskegon restaurant says it will no longer serve agents with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), telling them to "stay away."
Fatty Lumpkins Sandwich Shack, a staple in the Muskegon community, posted on Facebook Wednesday night that ICE agents had previously come into the restaurant for lunch "somewhat regularly."
"Hated it then but now it’s past that. We take a stand against you. Openly. Your presence was neither welcomed nor safe. Ever," the post said.
This comes after an ICE agent shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday, spurring nationwide protests and pushback against immigration enforcement. In Grand Rapids, dozens of demonstrators gathered and urged for sanctuary city policies, with more rallies planned.

Full statement:
Dear ICE,
There was a time during this previous whack job being in office where you used to come in for lunch sometimes. Somewhat regularly tbh. Hated it then but now it’s past that. We take a stand against you. Openly. Your presence was neither welcomed nor safe. Ever. You came into our dining room with tactical gear and stupid ass Batman looking utility belts. With open carry giant sidearms that looked like they’d blow someone’s head away. Wearing camo for lunch at a fucking deli like cosplay GI Joes that this 80’s kid enjoyed quietly laughing at. No more quiet today.
FUCK YOU. NO FUUUUCK YOU!!!
Do not EVER set foot in this establishment without a warrant. You will be denied service. You will be laughed at and escorted out. We will immediately call 911 the second I see anything resembling your presence on our private property.
Fuck you. Fuck your murderous ways we all saw on full display today. Fuck your disregard for due process and our beloved constitution. Fuck your lack of humanity based on manmade borders. Fuck your dear leader, everything he stands for, and every single person that supports anything he or you do/represent. Fuck your bonuses while essential services go unfunded. Most importantly…..Fuck your BLATANT fascism.
You are NOT welcome at Fatty Lumpkins Sandwich Shack. You NEVER will be. Our food is too good for you but beyond that our humanity transcends your callousness. You no longer get to enjoy the delicious food, art, etc. that your chosen enemies produce. We are not you and you are not us. Stay away!!!
