flag Undocumented workers in New York’s service industry, especially in restaurants, fear ICE raids despite no large-scale enforcement yet. flag A report estimates 42,300 undocumented workers, including thousands of chefs, cooks, and servers, are vital to the state’s $93.3 billion restaurant sector. flag Experts warn deportations could shrink the workforce, reduce consumer spending, raise food prices, and cost $319 million in tax revenue if just 10% are removed. flag Over 100 restaurants formed the “Solidarity Restaurants” coalition, and city agencies are expanding legal aid and rights education to protect workers. flag Immigrants, including those without documentation, are seen as essential to New York’s economy.
