Awww the one kid who grabbed the milk, bread and eggs first for his family 😢. That store owner is an angel getting these kids hyped to get good grades and showing them hard work does pay off!

Thank you, Chris, for sharing this wonderful story. ❤️(I really needed the distraction-had a tooth extraction this morning🦷). As a retired elementary teacher, just seeing how proud the students were in showing off their grades and getting rewarded for them - priceless. This business owner deserves an award.👏👏👏

How caring of this man to find a way to help young people improve and succeed. He is giving not just things from his store but showing that he really cares. Look at the faces of the young people who run in there so excited that they DID it and to get great feedback and a reward. This made my day!!

Great story!

Nice to see a man who is encouraging kids to be better.

Being better spreads good behavior.

And good behavior grows great people.

BAD NEWS‼️GESTAPO IN ACTION ‼️ Despite the federal government’s stance that it’s only targeting undocumented residents with criminal background, internal government documents obtained by CNN show that less than 10% of the estimated 185,000 people arrested by ICE between Oct. 2024 and May 2025 have convictions of serious crimes, such as rape, murder, assault or robbery.

More than 75% of those taken into custody during that same period, according to the documents, had no criminal conviction beyond an immigration or traffic-related offense.

“They’re getting everybody,” a demonstrator, Anthony Islas, said. “They’re getting people at carwashes that are working, that are selling flowers, that are selling ice cream. It’s not just criminals.”

While other residents said they have spotted federal immigration agents in other parts of Pico Rivera, Martinez’s family is still trying to find out where he was taken.
