Minnesota -companies remain closed Monday in support of immigrants

A nationwide protest against President Trump’s immigration actions has addressed Minnesota, where some restaurants and childcare facilities are temporarily closing Monday to stand in solidarity with immigrant workers.

The nationwide movement, entitled “A Day Without Immigrants”, aims to show the important role that immigrants play in our society and the economy of getting workers staying home Monday, temporarily closing and encourages consumers not to shop.

It comes after President Donald Trump has quickly taken steps towards mass portation of undocumented immigrants in the United States after he took office last month, which led to increased fear among immigrant communities in Minnesota and beyond.

So far, at least three Minnesota restaurants have announced their support to immigrants and said they will close on Monday.

“This decision is deeply meaningful to us as a company founded by immigrants,” the restaurant said. “Today, many of our family members, staff, customers and friends share the same experience. We are united in hope and solidarity and ask for meaningful immigration reform in the near future. “

“On February 3, 2025, we are in solidarity with Mexican and Latino communities,” the post read. “We recognize and honor the priceless contributions of immigrant workers and communities.”
