Mexican Radio, founded in New York City 23 years ago, has closed its second location, in Hudson, after 16 years. The final day was Aug. 11. In a long note on the restaurant's website, owner Lori Selden and Mark Young cite a variety of factors including staffing difficulties as a result of the Trump administration's hostility to the immigrants who long made up key parts of Mexican Radio's staff. They write, in part:

"Many of those same Culinary Brothers, who worked right beside us for close to 20 years and who were key to helping us launch all 3 Mexican Radio locations, have now been forcibly and violently ejected from this country, tearing out the very soul of our kitchen staff."
