PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Immigration and Custom Enforcement agents have been rounding up thousands of immigrants who they say have entered the country illegally.
Owners of a Puerto Rican restaurant in Philadelphia's Port Richmond section say ICE agents showed up at their door without a warrant.
"They came in here and they wanted to check our restaurant," said Robert Acevedo, at Boricua 2. "They came in here and thought that we were undocumented because it's a Puerto Rican restaurant."

Puerto Rico is a U.S. commonwealth, and Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens.
Owners say they used this as a teaching moment and shared their thoughts on the restaurant's Instagram account.
Co-owner Robert Acevedo is a retired Philadelphia police officer.
"Just because they come in with badges doesn't mean you're obligated to let them go in the back and see anything," said Acevedo.
Per a 2016 law, Philadelphia police will only act on judicial warrants, not federal immigration warrants.

The president ordered the Department of Defense to free up 30,000 beds for them.
