Should restaurant owners advertise their political beliefs?

A café in Minneapolis, formerly known as "Modern Times" and recently rebranded as "Post Modern Times," is closing after several years of financial struggles linked to its decision to offer free meals to anti-ICE activists. Owner Dylan Alverson changed the café’s business model in 2020 to protest U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, resulting in significant operating losses, including an $18,500 deficit on $1.3 million in sales in 2025. Alverson announced the closure on October 17, stating that he had exhausted all options without compromising his principles.
