An Indian restaurant owner in Minneapolis has won widespread attention after a video showed him distributing free samosas to protesters demonstrating against the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, popularly known as ICE.
The incident took place amid heightened immigration enforcement activity in the city, which led to large scale protests and tension in several neighborhoods.
According to reports, the restaurant temporarily shut its doors to ensure the safety of its staff during the protests. Instead of remaining closed entirely, the owner chose to step outside and support the demonstrators by offering freshly prepared samosas. The gesture was seen as a sign of solidarity with immigrant communities who were protesting against aggressive enforcement actions.
Videos of the restaurant owner handing out samosas quickly went viral on social media platforms. Many users praised the act as a powerful example of community support and compassion during a sensitive time. Protesters were seen thanking the owner, with several calling the moment heartwarming and symbolic.
The restaurant owner later stated that food has always been a way to bring people together and that the decision was driven by empathy rather than politics. The incident has since sparked conversations about immigrant unity, cultural identity, and the role of small businesses during social movements in the United States.
