Sammy’s Mexican Grill, located in the quiet town of Catalina, went viral this week after owner Jorge Rivas announced that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and other federal officers would receive free meals at his restaurant.
Rivas, a legal immigrant from El Salvador, said the gesture was meant as a sign of respect and gratitude toward those tasked with enforcing America’s immigration laws.
