ICE agents raid DC restaurant owned by CBS News anchor's husband

In Washington, D.C., Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents conducted an audit at an upscale restaurant owned by Geoff Tracy, the husband of CBS News journalist Norah O'Donnell, on Tuesday. The operation involved agents asking for proof of staff members' legal work status as part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to enforce immigration laws and target illegal immigrants in the food industry. The restaurant, Chef Geoff's, was raided alongside other eateries in the area, including Millie's, which also received visits from ICE agents demanding to see I-9 forms that confirm employee eligibility to work in the United States. The presence of ICE agents reportedly caused panic among restaurant staff. Over the past weeks, multiple restaurants in Washington, D.C., have been subjected to similar inspections amid new executive orders by President Donald Trump aimed at tightening immigration enforcement nationwide, particularly in so-called sanctuary jurisdictions. The local D.C. authorities, including Mayor Muriel Bowser, expressed concerns about the nature of these audits, emphasizing that the operations seemed more disruptive rather than focused on apprehending individuals with criminal backgrounds. Both ICE and CBS News did not comment on the raids following the incident, which highlights the tension in current immigration policies and the impact on local economies reliant on immigrant labor.
