Famed NYC bakery’s immigrant workers defy Trump
News of immigration resistance from the Big Apple. Workers at a famed New York bakery, who face a deadline to produce immigration papers, are instead defying the government in public — at President Donald Trump‘s Manhattan home.
The 31 employees of the Tom Cat Bakery will be fired and could be deported if they cannot prove by April 21 that they’re working in the country legally.
The mostly Spanish-speaking workers and about 100 supporters rallied outside Trump Tower to protest what they called the Trump administration’s “bullying.”
The Department of Homeland Security set the deadline for the workers to show their employment documents.
Many have worked on the gourmet bakery’s production line for much of its 30-year existence.
