Met Seyo & his two sons at his restaurant with Rep. Larson. A great family & successful business owner. While Seyo is grateful for our help in getting him home, ICE should never have disrupted this family’s lives just to meet some arbitrary quota. It is cruel & heartless.

🎤 Whisper Transcript (en) ⏱ 56s

"We fought hard, Congressman Larson and I, but really the community rallied around you because you're the American dream, you're here with your own business doing well, your family productive, and what I said was absolutely cruel and unconscionable and I want to thank you for your courage and your perseverance and all of your family that really was the face and voice of justice for America. It's 250th anniversary, really proud to be here and proud to be an American and to welcome you home. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Thank you guys for being here and supporting me, I'm really appreciative of having a good community around me and thank you so much for everything you guys have done for me and for all the stuff you guys have done for me, thank you so much. I really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart."

Why won't the Minister of Labour pass our legislation and ban tip theft? Nova Scotia is one of the only provinces where employers are legally allowed to steal tips from workers. This isn't right, and we've been calling for a ban tip theft for years — but for some reason, they won't listen. @claudiachenderns.bsky.social
