A Portland, Oregon, food cart has been forced to close, according to its owners, after an employee was threatened and mocked by “abolish ICE” activists.
The Happy Camper food cart, owned operated by Scott and Julie Hakes of Portland, is being forced to close after their 21-year-old daughter, Brianna, — who works at the food cart — was allegedly targeted and threatened by illegal alien activists nearby with an “abolish ICE” camp site.
For weeks, illegal alien activists have taken over the sidewalk and roadway to protest the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. The activists are demanding that the local Portland ICE office be shut down, though police have ordered the activists to shut down the camp site.
The Happy Camper food cart serves food to the public and gives the profits towards helping the homeless in the Portland area. Now, the owners of the food cart are saying they are having to close down shop after Brianna was threatened and followed by abolish ICE activists after she sold an ICE employee food.
Brianna captured footage of the multiple incidents, where abolish ICE activists shout at her through a bullhorn.
“They already know what she drives,” Pam Hakes told KGW News of the abuse their daughter has endured. “They see her walking around and they run after her.”
“She finally had enough,” Scott Hakes, the girl’s father told KGW News. “She finally called me up on the phone, crying.”
“The antagonizer screams out, gets on the blowhorn and starts screaming that my daughter is laughing at them, trying to make a mockery of them,” Scott said. “If they catch her outside the cart, they’re going to hurt her. They’re constantly cussing at her and screaming at her.”
“We had 20 individuals, 10 to 20 individuals, rush the cart with customers to intimidate them to where they didn’t want to come back,” Scott said.
Journalists who have visited the camp say the area has a “memorable” smell and, ironically, has strict rules inside the borders of the camp.
As Breitbart News reported, the abolish ICE protesters at the Portland camp site were recorded last week using a mock guillotine to behead President Trump.
Abolish ICE activists with the George Soros-funded group “United We Dream” recently shut down an intersection in Miramar, Florida, demanding that the local ICE office be closed down, Breitbart News reported.
The latest Harvard/Harris Poll reveals that 3-in-4 swing voters oppose the Democrats’ plan to end all immigration enforcement across the U.S. by abolishing ICE. Overall, nearly 70 percent of Americans said they oppose abolishing ICE. Likewise, nearly 60 percent of Democrats said they do not want ICE to be disbanded.
