New York:
An attorney, Aaron Schlossberg of New York has been terminated after his racial statements on Spanish-speaking restaurant workers.

The 44-year-old, an attorney was kicked out of his Madison Avenue work space after he was captured in a hate-filled rant at Spanish-speaking restaurant workers consequently a Congressman filing a formal complaint to the State Court system’s disciplinary committee.

“We have terminated his services agreement with us and was completely shocked by the nearly minute-long clip,” said Hayim Grant, the president of Corporate Suites, which operates the business center

The news came out as Congressman Adriano Espaillat and Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. Registered a complaint against Scholossberg to the New York State Unified Court System’s Departmental Disciplinary Committee, calling on the panel to investigate the attorney and possibly revoke his license.

“I stand with Congressman Espaillat in calling for the disciplinary committee of the New York State Unified Court System to examine the attorney identified as Aaron Schlossberg’s reprehensible behavior and review his law license for possible revocation,” said the Bronx borough president.”

The video recording shows the attorney forbidding to call federal immigration officers to have workers at nearby French Kitchen Food Joint “Kicked out of my country” for speaking in Spanish.

A Unified Court System official told that, “If the complaint is found to have merit, the court system will either sanction, Censure, suspend or recommend disbarment.”

The manager of the restaurant Hyunsik Kong said, “He got mad that they were speaking in Spanish and he started ranting, yelling, screaming. It seemed like he wanted attention.”
