Tensions remain high in South Park following last Friday's ICE raids at Buona Forchetta and Enoteca Buona Forchetta restaurants. The operations, captured on video and shared widely on social media, have sparked community protests with residents shouting "shame" at agents. In response, Buona Forchetta has closed all locations for two days. Local leaders and community members have condemned the raids as "needlessly reckless." The incident has created widespread fear among food industry workers, with many street vendors around Petco Park reportedly staying away from their usual spots.
