Owner Of Lola's Tacos And Tequila In Gurnee Mills Exposed For Liking Social Posts Of 400 Texas National Guard Deployed To Illinois To Assist USICE's Immigration Enforcement Operations

Apparently, some members of the community that dine at the Lola's Tacos And Tequila restaurant in Gurnee Mills are not to happy to see Khayat, the owner posting likes in social media posts (Facebook) showing that 400 Texas National Guard have been deployed to Illinois to assist USICE on its immigration enforcement operations, which a majority are allegedly illegal, and ignore federal laws and due process, including not abiding by the U.S. Constitution.

Gurnee Mills, Illinois - On Tuesday, Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) received information that linked Nicole Khayat, the owner of the Lola's Tacos and Tequila restaurant in Gurnee Mills, and president of Khayat Enterprises posting likes in multiple posts in the Chicago Crimechasers News FB page that showed 400 MAGA Texas National Guardsmen have been deployed to Illinois by Trump in order to assist MAGA U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (USICE) in immigration enforcement operations in Chicago, Waukegan, Gurnee Mills and other adjacent suburbs and cities.

One of those individuals that provided the information to HNNUSA on Tuesday wrote, "When local restaurant owner benefits off the Hispanic culture, BUT also liking posts supporting the national guard coming to support ICE in our

community. ldk, it doesn't sit right with me." 

Most likely it wouldn't sit right with many members of the Gurnee Mills community as well, since Khayat makes a living from operating a Mexican style of restaurant, but allegedly seems to like that hundreds of Texas National Guardsmen from a Red MAGA state, which most likely is infiltrated by MAGAs, supremacists and White Nationalists who will follow Trump to the letter as he is waging a domestic terrorist war against Blue states and cities that didn't vote for him and rejected him in 2020.

It doesn't become profitable to support the deployment of the MAGA National Guard from Texas to Illinois, especially when a business owner of a restaurant makes a living from the very same immigrant community that Trump wants to deport.

Any individual has a right to like or dislike social media posts, if they desire to do so, but it's not to smart to like posts that can come back to hunt you, especially when it effects the same community you are trying to cater too.
