Street food is definitely not terrorism

November 29, 2009  |  New York City, United States

muratWhile State Senator Dan Squadron is now coordinating meetings between vendors and brick-and-mortar establishments (thanks, Senator Squadron!) anyone who still wants vendors fingerprinted for parking their cart an inch too close to the crosswalk should consider Murat Celebi-Ariner. The popular San Francisco quiche and muffin vendor (left) was arrested by immigration authorities and quickly deported this month, even though he is married to a US citizen. You see? Draconian laws have consequences, and sometimes they are extremely unfair. We support you from NYC, Murat!
