After ICE raids... a once bustling Chicago neighbourhood has changed
AI Summary
Following Operation Midway Blitz, an ICE operation targeting "criminal illegal aliens" that peaked in September, Chicago's Hispanic neighborhoods, particularly Little Village, are experiencing significant changes. Business owners report a sharp decline in sales, with some seeing revenue cut in half, as residents fear raids and stay home. Carlos Macias, a local business owner, recounts a raid on his store where armed agents created fear and panic among customers. The Department of Homeland Security states the operation was launched in response to the death of a US citizen caused by an undocumented immigrant. While the raids have seemingly decreased recently, the economic impact and fear remain palpable in the community.
