Detention of New Jersey kebab shop owners sparked change

The detention of a Turkish couple who own a New Jersey kebab shop helped galvanize their community against immigration crackdowns last year. The menu includes shawarma and baklava, but customers also go to the restaurant near Philadelphia for a side of protest of the Trump administration's immigration policies. Their business has become more popular and moved into a bigger space. Like before, they continue to offer free food to those who need help. But for Celal and Emine Emanet, the possibility of deportation still looms.
