ICE Poised to Start Massive Raid on Washington, D.C., Businesses

HeadlineMay 08, 2025

Agents with the Department of Homeland Security swept out across Washington, D.C., on Tuesday and Wednesday, serving restaurant owners with notices demanding I-9 “Employment Eligibility Verification” forms. This follows President Trump’s recent executive order to intensify immigration enforcement in D.C. ICE said it served over 100 local businesses with notices. Among those raided was Chef Geoff’s, a restaurant owned by the husband of CBS News anchor Norah O’Donnell, a correspondent for “60 Minutes.” Trump has targeted CBS over what he considers unfavorable coverage.
