Emanet Family's Restaurant and Removal Proceedings Spark Local Support
Emanets opened Jersey Kebab during the COVID-19 pandemic, applied for permanent residency, and believed they were on track for green cards.
Supporters organized a vigil and raised $300,000, while the family faced temporary closures due to one member's 15-day detention and another's ankle monitor.
Emanet family moved to Haddon Avenue in Collingswood, maintaining community practices like free meals and a photo of Muhammed serving tea.
Emanet family faces removal proceedings with a March hearing for Celal, as supporters fight to stay amid fears of deportation.
