A GoFundMe has been launched for Carlos Lool, the owner and chef of a popular South Los Angeles restaurant who has been taken into ICE custody.
Lool is now facing deportation after ICE agents detained him while he was picking up supplies for a catering event over the weekend.
His business partner and girlfriend, Jenna Lawrence, said that ICE agents followed them and then yanked Lool out of the car, drawing guns and taking him away.
Lool has a criminal conviction from Connecticut dating back about 30 years, but Lawrence claims that the investigation began after a former employee reported the restaurant to authorities, claiming there was a gun inside the business, which is a violation of Lool's parole.
Lawrence started a GoFundMe for Lool, saying their lives “changed in an instant” after the incident.
At the time of writing, $820 had been raised of the $8K goal.
