A co-owner of Arnaldo Richards' Picos Restaurant told CNN that while the majority of customers have been supportive, a couple of social media posts have been "hurtful" to him and his family. One of the posts on social media, which was provided to CNN and has since been deleted, had a person threatening to call immigration to check on the green cards of restaurant staffers. If not, he could send immigration to come and check our green cards," Arnaldo Richards said Monday. And had it not been a Mexican restaurant, he might not have said anything or referred to checking our green cards." A green card is a type of visa that signifies someone is a legal permanent resident of the US.
