Considering the threatening ground reality of Minneapolis, a popular Indian restaurant in the city has made a shocking announcement. Curry Corner, a small business, has closed its doors to protest against the surge of ICE presence in the state. However, to stand in solidarity with the anti-ICE protestors, staff from the restaurant have been serving them snacks in the streets.
Closed doors, free samosas
In a statement shared on Instagram last week, Curry Corner, located in Northeast Minneapolis said that it “will be closing down until further notice.” The post revealed that the decision was made considering the safety of the staff and the team members. “Due to ongoing safety concerns in Minneapolis, we’ve made the very difficult decision to temporarily close to protect our team,” said the post made by the Indian eatery on Instagram.
It also announced a GoFundMe to help sustain its staff during the time since the closure brings “a major financial hardship to our small, family-owned business.” The fundraiser has so far raised over $25,000 of its $26,000 goal.
