Many DC Restaurants Will Shut Down on Thursday to Protest Trump: Report

Dozens of D.C. eaters will close their doors for a "Day Without Immigrants" to protest Trump's anti-immigration policies.

WASHINGTON, DC — The "Day Without Immigrants" nationwide protest will take place on Thursday, and many restaurants in the District reportedly will totally close their doors in solidarity, or at least limit their operations.

The protest, launched in response to President Trump's efforts to crack down on immigration, will involve immigrants choosing to stay home from school and work, including restaurants and bars.

That is going to have a big effect on the D.C. dining scene Thursday, according to a Washington Post report.
