Minnesota restaurants by the dozens planning to shut down Friday to protest ICE enforcement

The demonstration against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is scheduled for 2 p.m. Friday in downtown Minneapolis.

Fox News Digital reached out to ICE for comment. The agency previously said its enforcement actions are focused on individuals in this country illegally who pose public safety or national security concerns.

Southeast Asian and Latin street food restaurants Hola Arepa & Hai Hai wrote in a joint Instagram account that they will be closed "in support of the general strike to remove ICE from our cities and get justice for Renee Good."

Wildflyer Coffee shared that its two locations will be closed "to ensure our staff can participate in ways that feel meaningful to them and to further exist in solidarity with the movement," the business wrote on Instagram.

"Your contribution helps ensure that we can take care of our staff and programming in the face of this challenging time," the post said.

The same café is also handing out whistles, writing, "Come by and grab one this week if you don't already have one."

"Based on many meaningful conversations with team members, we have made the decision to close Martina on Friday, January 23rd. We will resume normal service on Saturday," the restaurant's post said. 

"We object to the invasion of our state and the political corruption," the post said. "We call for ICE to stop the invasion and leave Minnesota. No work, no school, no shopping."

Bull's Horn bar wrote on Instagram, "We stand with our immigrant community and neighbors and will be closed for the 'ICE Out' protest."

"Federal agents (ICE, DEA, ATF, or any other agent or agency) may not enter or park or stage immigration operations on this property," reads a sign posted on a gas station door in Minneapolis.

Rancho Loco Grill & Bar put a sign on its door that reads, "ICE is not welcome to this business."

A coffee shop in Minneapolis posted a sign indicating that federal agents are "not permitted on premises" and that staff is not authorized to allow ICE access to the business.

"At the same time, staff have to be trained that if agents do show up with a valid warrant, this is not the moment for a heroic physical standoff," Patillo added. 

"The law draws a bright line between saying, 'We won't help you,' and actively blocking or hiding someone named in that warrant."
