Pro-Trump town riled up after immigration officials arrest popular restaurant manager
Letters of support for Juan Carlos Hernandez Pacheco have poured in from West Frankfort's mayor, police chief, high school athletic director and the county prosecutor. They describe Hernandez as a role model and praise his robust civil involvement, including funding school scholarships, benefit dinners for families in need and hosting a law enforcement appreciation event.
Hernandez, 38, came to the U.S. in the 1990s but didn't obtain legal status, according to friends. He has been the manager of La Fiesta Mexican Restaurant for a decade in the community with coal mining roots, about 100 miles southeast of St. Louis.
He was arrested at his home earlier this month and remains in custody at a U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement facility outside St. Louis. ICE officials did not explain why Pacheco was arrested, but noted his drunken-driving convictions from 2007.

- Listen to your moronic self try to justify how defunding scientific broadcasting, dismantle the EPA and take education to the dark ages is somehow good for us.monospaced
- You're not only stupid, you're a fucking asshole because of this. Your viewpoint is deplorable at best, and your defense of this is disgusting. Fuck off, troll.monospaced
- No sacrifice. PBS Religion News attack Trump and DeVos today, in their alt-left-sided propaganda. Eat chitlins man pig.omg
