"he built a wide following for his regional mexican cuisine [mexican cuisine?] over the decades, becoming a favorite of the white house press corps. then in march, ice came looking for him."

Well, I guess he is no longer "celebrated."

Screw the W.H.press corps. Deport most of them-- to the not yet incorporated town of Alenskyville(fictional)--in northern Siberia. Give them tents and a blanket. That's all the commie reporters deserve.

Taxes, Sergio, hablamos de taxes. Sales taxes collected and remitted? (¿Qué?, you say? Here's a refresher: https://comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/publications/94-117.php. There's a link on the right side to the español version.)

Keeping honest, accurate books and showing a profit? We know you didn't operate at a loss for three decades. Have you been filing federal income tax returns? Did you pay the income tax? Social security and medicare taxes too? Quarterly estimated payments, by the way, not waiting until April 15.
Did you manage to score a genuine social security number along the way? Did you send money to México? During those 36 years is there any chance your Méxicano accounts totaled more than $10,000? And if so, did you file the required FinCEN Form 114, Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR)? Did you claim any of the covid giveaways for business? Employee Retention Credit, Paycheck Protection Program?

Or is the onerous paperwork and payments something that only US citizens are stuck doing? Inquiring minds want to know. Too bad journalist Sam Shaw of The Waco Bridge doesn't have an inquiring mind. I suppose his next cutting-edge interview will be asking Letitia James about the challenges of being a long-distance landlord.
