Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents raided Buona Forchetta in San Diego on Wednesday .

Four employees were arrested, including servers and dishwashers, according to local news reports.

Like other workplace raids, this one seems to signal a shift in the Trump administration's tactics and an escalation of its deportation efforts.

But that opinion was not unanimous. "If you're illegal or you overstayed your visa, it's time to go," said Dillen Roman , a 32-year-old member of the Navy who has lived in the area for eight months . "That's just the way it is." Nozzi said she was surprised to see the raid happening here, in a neighborhood she described as a "quintessential melting pot" full of families and small businesses. "If it could happen in South Park , it could happen anywhere," she says, "and probably it is happening anywhere.".
