Brooklyn Restaurant Hit with Health Violations

A Brooklyn restaurant, Guisa'o, is at the center of an illegal street food operation run by migrants. A recent health inspection revealed disturbing conditions, including:

• Fly infestations in food preparation areas
• Food and supplies unprotected from contamination
• Hot food stored at unsafe temperatures
• Conditions conducive to rodents and pests

The restaurant prepares meals in what's described as a "sweatshop" kitchen, and these meals are then sold throughout NYC for $10 each.

Political Reactions and City Response

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis criticizes the situation, blaming Democrats and promising action under a potential Trump administration.

The NYC Mayor's office acknowledges the issue and states they are investigating further actions beyond issuing health code violations. They also highlight efforts to assist new arrivals with work authorization.
