ICE raided a James Beard award winning restaurant & because the chef/owner was prepared, left emptyhanded:

"Yet the mysterious origin of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, in nearly half of Apple Valley’s wells, some 24 miles from the nearest 3M site, doesn’t change the fact that the city faces a $100 million bill to flush them from its system."
