And finally… ole ole!

A Mariachi band joined a protest on Friday outside the home of a lawyer caught on camera racially abusing Spanish-speaking restaurant workers.

More than 100 people gathered outside the home of Aaron Schlossberg, 42, to object to his treatment of restaurant workers he said should be “kicked out of my country” for speaking Spanish.

At the Fresh Kitchen restaurant on Madison Avenue in New York, Schlossberg was filmed delivering a tirade at staff.

“Every person I listen to — he spoke , he spoke it, she’s speaking it — it’s America!” he shouted.

“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 added.

“If they have the balls to come here and live off of my money — I pay for their welfare, I pay for their ability to be here — the least they can do is speak English.”

At his home on West 60th Street, people waved signs and chanted “Ole, Ole! Throw him out!”, while enjoying duck and plum sauce tacos donated by Jade Sixty, an Asian steakhouse on the Upper East Side, the New York Post reports.

A five-man Mariachi band arrived by bus, bringing with them trumpets, two violins and an acoustic guitar.

Protester Stratis Morfogen, 50, said: “Without the Latinos there wouldn’t be a hospitality industry. How dare this mother***ker. How dare he.

“He should be disbarred.”
