A woke Portland, Oregon, pizza restaurant bombarded diners visiting its website with an unhinged anti-ICE rant – before bizarrely claiming that food is political. 

The note posted on Tastebud’s website, which has gone viral, called for the abolition of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and surfaced weeks after the deaths of anti-ICE protesters Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

“Ice out everywhere,” the notice said.

“Food is political. No one is illegal on stole land. F—k Ice. Abolish Ice.”

The note then started to ramble about issues such as the Epstein files and transgender politics.

“Release the Trump/Epstein files. Free Palestine. Black Lives Matter. Trans women are women. Love your LGBTQ+ neighbors. The Holocaust was real,” the unhinged tirade continued.

Website visitors met with the note before they could subscribe to the restaurant’s newsletter. 

Critics accused the restaurant of choosing politics over pies, with some promising to boycott the establishment.

The restaurant faced a torrent of backlash online and the note has since been toned down.

“Since receiving attention for our statement, we have experienced a surge of hateful, harassing, and abusive reviews, calls, and emails. This is concerning for our staff, our family, and our guests,” a Tastebud spokesperson told Fox News.

The restaurant told the outlet all diners are welcome.

“Food is political because care has become political,” the toned-down note says.

Trump and Epstein mentions have been nixed and the restaurant claims it stands for human rights, equality, science and collective care. 

“Waiting is not caution. Silence is not neutrality. Both are permission,” it says.

“Our country does not survive because it is written down. It survives only if people refuse to endure its unraveling.”

Anti-ICE protester Renee Good was fatally shot by agent Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis last month.

Armed anti-ICE protester and ICU nurse Alex Pretti died after being shot by Customs and Border Protection officials in Minneapolis – two weeks after Good’s death.

The restaurant claimed Good and Pretti had been murdered in plain sight, according to a Jan.30 Facebook post.

Parent Teacher Association officials in one of the wealthiest school districts in the country hosted a training session last month instructing families on how to respond to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity.

The virtual PTA session in Montgomery County, Maryland, was held on Jan. 20 and was headed by Councilwoman Kristin Mink. The meeting was titled “ICE Response & Organizing Tools for PTAs, Parents & Guardians.” 

According to the National Review, Mink has previously hosted multiple sessions on ways schools can equip themselves with “tools to slow ICE down and protect each other.” The training guided parents on how to escort students with illegal immigrant parents, and encouraged volunteers to monitor ICE activity during drop‑off and pickup, and introduced ways to support families affected by ICE arrests and deportations.

During the session, Mink reportedly presented comprehensive “rapid response” guidance she had created and shared publicly three days earlier. 

In one slide, Mink outlined how “White allies” could assist and support the community, advising them not to use whistles to counter “ICE violence,” which has become a widespread form of community resistance. She argued that White individuals should avoid using a tool that, in her view, reinforces authority associated with Whiteness.

“Especially for White allies, whistles can represent a subconscious desire for authority, protection, or control in moments of crisis,” the slide said. 

“But rapid response is not about assuming authority. . . . When we question decisions made by those impacted, we risk centering our own comfort instead of impacted people.”

She added that “What feels ‘activating’ or empowering to some can cause stress to others,” noting that “Black and Brown communities are already overexposed to chronic noise pollution due to racist zoning, redlining, and disinvestment.”

She further addressed, in the slide, how certain characteristics — such as gender, sexuality, and education — align with positions of power or marginalization.

Last September, the Department of Homeland Security clarified that, contrary to what it described as “fearmongering” by sanctuary politicians, “ICE is not conducting enforcement operations at, or ‘raiding,’ schools.”

Mink’s presentation aligns with a recent wave within the anti-ICE movement, where immigrant-led organizations clashed with predominantly White “rapid response” activists over the use of whistles during immigration raids.

Groups like the Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network (WAISN) and Maryland-based coalitions argue that blowing whistles is a “White Savior” tactic that creates unnecessary panic and escalates tension.

The Jan. 20 meeting sparked further controversy, with critics arguing that parent-teacher organizations should prioritize academic success rather than engaging in political activism.

“It goes without saying, PTAs should focus on their original intent: students — not injecting inflammatory and divisive political rhetoric into the community,” Kendall Tietz, investigative reporter at Defending Education, told the National Review.

The online presentation was promoted by, and advertised on, the Montgomery County Council of PTAs’ social media. According to the online sign-up sheet, several agencies supported the information session, including education associations, labor unions and immigration advocacy organizations. 

Many local PTAs also promoted the session on their official platforms, including those at Gaithersburg Middle School, Laytonsville Elementary School and Stedwick Elementary School.
