• Community Rallies for Zena's American Mediterranean Cuisine ... (theretrospect.com) — An Oaklyn family is reeling after longtime local resident and chef Iemad Saifo was detained by ICE during what they believed was a routine check-in, leaving his wife and four children scrambling at home and at their Collingswood restaurant. His adult sons are keeping Zena’s American Mediterranean Cuisine open while attorneys seek his release, as the family shields their youngest autistic brother from the full situation.
