Tamales take hours to make, and families often cook them in big batches meant for sharing. A Michigan mom is now splitting viewers online after she delivered homemade tamales to neighbors who allegedly called Immigration and Customs Enforcement on her Hispanic family. Her daughter, Andrea, filmed the entire process as her mother prepared to walk the food over, as reported by The Nerd Stash.
According to Andrea’s TikTok post, the neighbors had personally admitted to calling ICE on her family. Despite that, they still reached out and asked her mother to bring them some tamales the next time she made a batch. The mother promised to set a few aside, as she had already planned to cook some over the weekend.
