- Yesterday, small businesses across the United States closed or altered operations to join the nationwide anti-ICE shutdown, with social media flooded with support.

- Local shops pledged proceeds to immigrant-rights groups, including Boxcar Coffee Roasters donating all Friday profits to Casa de Paz and Tiny Bake Shop giving 15 percent to the ACLU of S.C.
