Aaron Schlossberg, the Manhattan lawyer who achieved instant internet infamy for confronting Spanish-speaking people in a deli, gave $500 to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. 
 
 The donation to Trump was revealed by OpenSecrets.org. 
 
 Schlossberg erupted at fellow patrons and workers at a midtown Manhattan deli after he overheard them speaking in Spanish. 
 
 He threatened to call immigration agents, although there was no reason for him to suspect they weren’t Americans. 
 
 Schlossberg attended the tony Haverford School in suburban Philadelphia and Johns Hopkins University for college, according to his LinkedIn page. He also graduated from George Washington University’s law school. 
 
 People bombarded his Facebook page and the Google entry for his law practice with negative comments. 
 
 Ironically he has the chutzpah to brag on the firm’s web site of being fluent in Spanish. |||||

 An angry white man insulted and threatened two women for speaking Spanish at a midtown lunch chain on Wednesday, threatening to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement on them because he didn't want to hear the language in "my country." 
 
 "Every person I listen to—he's speaking it, she's speaking it. This is America," the man shouted, while customers waited for salads at a Fresh Kitchen on Madison Avenue, near 39th Street.

 As he was confronted by a manager, the man continued, "Your clients and your staff are speaking Spanish to staff when they should be speaking English...My guess is they're undocumented, so my next call is to ICE to have each one of them taken out of my country. If they have the balls to come here and live off my money—I pay for their welfare. I pay for their ability to be here." 
 
 According to one witness who spoke with Gothamist, the man "seemed like a normal, pretty well off caucasian guy." He has not yet been identified, but some Twitter users claim he's been spotted at pro-Trump rallies in the past. 
 
 The video was posted to Facebook by Edward Suazo, who wrote that his wife and her best friend were talking to the cashier when the man accosted them. 
 
 "What a big man talking down to couple of women and a helpless employee," Suazo wrote. "I wish someone tells me I can’t speak in my native language ! First of all they wasn’t talking to you !! Asshole !" 
 
 Throughout the scene, several people in the background can be seen quietly observing the racist tirade. One woman, who is not visible in the video, calls the man an "ignorant asshole." Later, the man tells that woman that she should take a break from eating, to which she responds: "Maybe you should get hit by a car." 
 
 Our witness says that the man was promptly thrown out of the restaurant, while the woman was permitted to stay. "[They] let the lady stay but had the man go, because he was causing the trouble, screaming at people," the witness told Gothamist. 
 
 "I don't know what to say," the witness added. "People are taught not to be bystanders, but it's hard to get involved. This guy was really, really angry." 
 
 UPDATE: The Forward and other media outlets believe they have identified the man in the video. We have been unable to confirm his identity, but we'll update when we have more. 
 
 UPDATE MAY 17: The man in the video is widely believed to be a Manhattan attorney, and elected officials are calling for him to be censured. There's also a fundraiser to send a mariachi band to his office. More here. ||||| "My guess is they're not documented," Schlossberg announced loudly about the staff. "So my next call is to ICE to have each one of them kicked out of my country. If they have the balls to come here and live off my money — I pay for their welfare, I pay for their ability to be here — the least they can do is speak English." ||||| (CNN) A man berated employees and customers for speaking Spanish in a New York restaurant, describing them as undocumented and threatening to call immigration officials in a rant captured on video. 
 
 The incident happened Tuesday at a Fresh Kitchen in Manhattan, according to Edward Suazo, who posted a video of the encounter on Facebook, saying his wife and her friend were the target of the man's anger. 
 
 The video starts with a man in a white collared shirt confronting employees and customers in the restaurant. 
 
 "Your staff is speaking Spanish to customers when they should be speaking English," the man says, holding a white iPhone and pointing at the Spanish speakers for emphasis. 
 
 "Every person I listen to: He spoke it, he spoke it, she's speaking it. This is America!" he says. 
 
 Someone in the background interrupts him and calls him ignorant. Others hurl expletives at him. 
 
 "Yeah, this is America. So ignorant," another person tells him as laughter breaks out. 
 
 A former client identified the man to CNN as Manhattan attorney Aaron Schlossberg. 
 
 Bystanders act 
 
 The man continues to express his displeasure to an employee and threatens to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials. 
 
 "My guess is they're not documented. So my next call is to ICE to have each one of them kicked out of my country," he says. 
 
 "If they have the balls to come here and live off my money, I pay for their welfare. I pay for their ability to be here. The least they can do ... is speak English." 
 
 He then tells the employee, "If you intend on running a place in Midtown Manhattan, your staff should speak English. Not Spanish." 
 
 A woman tries to engage the man just before he walks out. He turns around and says, "Honey, I'm calling ICE." 
 
 "Call ICE!" the woman shoots back. Before leaving, he tells the woman, "Maybe you shouldn't eat that sandwich, take a break from the food." 
 
 The woman yells back, "Maybe you should get hit by a car," as the man storms out of the restaurant. 
 
 'What a big man' 
 
 In a Facebook post, Suazo said his wife and her best friend were talking to a waiter in Spanish when the man butted in and angrily demanded that they speak English. 
 
 "What a big man talking down to couple of women and a helpless employee," he posted. "I wish someone tells me I can't speak in my native language! First of all they (weren't) talking to you." 
 
 Emily Serrano, who eats lunch at Fresh Kitchen at least three times a week, said she was shocked by what she heard, so she pulled out her phone and recorded the tail end of the incident. 
 
 "I am sorry he wasn't taught to have love (for) all mankind," Serrano told CNN. "I wish him the best and hope that he can see why he needs to change his way of thinking, that we all have feeling and emotions and are no different because we are Latinos." 
 
 The video had been viewed 4.4 million times by early Thursday, with some identifying the man as a lawyer with an office near the restaurant. 
 
 On Thursday, Corporate Suites, the company that operates the business center where Schlossberg's law office is located, said it was terminating its agreement with him. 
 
 "We found Mr. Schlossberg's statements offensive and contrary to our community norms," Corporate Suites President Hayim Alan Grant said in a statement. Grant said Schlossberg did not have full-time office space with Corporate Suites, but the company provided mail and phone services for his business and Schlossberg had access to the center to meet with clients. 
 
 CNN has called and left messages with Schlossberg but has not heard back. After the incident, people inundated the law firm's social media accounts with messages. Local tabloid New York Daily News featured an image of him on its front page of Thursday's edition.

 In an email, Fresh Kitchen said the store is a public area for breakfast and lunch and welcomes everyone from all types of cultures. 
 
 Everyone has a mind of his own, the company said, "But in (a) public area, disturbing others or making (a) comment like that is not right at all." 
 
 Congressman Adriano Espaillat told CNN that he and Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. filed a formal complaint against Schlossberg with the NY State Unified Court System, seeking to have his law license suspended until he "amends his actions." 
 
 Espaillat said Schlossberg had violated Rule 8.4, which outlines professional conduct. 
 
 "He clearly has done that, and his behavior, his rant was xenophobic and racist," Espaillat said. 
 
 In what appeared to be a reference to the incident, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio tweeted that the city's strength was its diversity. 
 
 "It's what makes this city great. The 8.6 million people who call this city home speak more than 200 languages -- they're all New Yorkers and they're all welcome here," de Blasio said Wednesday. 
 
 According to the US Census Bureau , 49% of New Yorkers over age 5 speak a language other than English. 
 
 A previous incident 
 
 The Fresh Kitchen run-in apparently was not the first such outburst from the man. 
 
 Willie Morris, a 34-year-old consultant and adviser for tech companies, said he recognized him from a similar encounter on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue in October 2016. 
 
 Morris said he was walking down the street when a man in the opposite direction made eye contact with him, sped up and made a beeline for him. 
 
 "He immediately ... starts yelling mostly racist and xenophobic stuff," Morris said. "I was so shocked, I've lived in NYC for five years and have never had anything like this happen. I was waiting for someone to jump out and scream, 'Gotcha!' " 
 
 Morris posted video of the incident, along with his own commentary, to YouTube the next day . In the video, a man can be seen asking Morris, "What country are you from?" and then saying: "I'm going to call the police. You don't run into me. I'm a citizen here, you're not. You're an ugly f***ing foreigner. F*** you." 
 
 In commentary afterward, Morris said he was born in Massachusetts, and he held up his passport. 
 
 "It was so surreal," he told CNN. "Thankfully, I had started vlogging a few months before so I had turned my camera on and caught it all. He was threatening to call the cops, but he eventually walked away, and we realized it wasn't just a weird stunt." 
 
 The Fresh Kitchen video jolted his memory about the incident. 
 
 "I let it go and pretty much forgot about it until I was scrolling through Twitter yesterday and randomly saw a thumbnail and thought, 'No freaking way! '" Morris said. ||||| The video shows a middle-aged, athletic-looking white man berating both customers and a manager at a cavernous fast-casual restaurant called Fresh Kitchen. “Your staff is speaking Spanish to customers when they should be speaking English,” he says. “It’s America.” He adds: “I will be following up, and my guess is they’re not documented. So my next call is to ICE to have each one of them kicked out of my country.” 
 
 He said that he was paying for their “welfare.” 
 
 Officials in New York, which as a so-called sanctuary city limits its cooperation with immigration enforcement officials, quickly denounced the man’s action. Mayor Bill de Blasio reminded people on Twitter that New York was a welcoming city, where 8.6 million residents speak more than 200 languages. The city’s Commission on Human Rights, which investigates discrimination and harassment, said in a statement that it was “aware of the matter.” And the city’s commissioner of immigrant affairs, Bitta Mostofi, said in an interview that incidents like this, “while horrifying, are not commonplace — they also don’t belong in our city.” 
 
 Even the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, known as ICE, distanced itself from the man’s threat to call the office. But a spokeswoman acknowledged that all undocumented immigrants are subject to deportation.
– Another customer's tirade about foreigners is going viral, this one in New York City. A man in Manhattan is caught berating the manager of Fresh Kitchen because employees there were speaking Spanish, reports CNN. The video first caught fire on Facebook here. "My guess is they're not documented," says the man in the video. "So my next call is to ICE to have each one of them kicked out of my country. If they have the balls to come here and live off my money, I pay for their welfare. I pay for their ability to be here. The least they can do ... is speak English." The manager asks the man to leave, and he eventually does. The New York Daily News and the Forward have identified the man as a Manhattan attorney whose business website describes him as fluent in Spanish, though sites such as Gothamist, the New York Times and CNN were withholding his name pending confirmation. Either way, Vox notes that he and his office are now prime targets online. "What a big man talking down to couple of women and a helpless employee," writes Edward Suazo, who posted the original video to Facebook. "I wish someone tells me I can't speak in my native language!"
