The sanctuary cities of Chicago and Philadelphia have canceled their annual Cinco de Mayo parades, citing fears of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids targeting criminal illegal aliens.
The decision, announced by local organizers, is being slammed as a blatant attempt to harbor lawbreakers and undermine federal immigration enforcement under President Donald Trump’s renewed crackdown on illegal immigration.
In Chicago, the Cermak Road Chamber of Commerce and Casa Puebla pulled the plug on the Little Village parade, a long-standing celebration of Mexican-American culture, claiming the community is “frightened” by ICE’s efforts to apprehend illegal aliens.
Hector Escobar, president of the chamber, said in a statement,”Our community is very frightened because of the raids and the threat that ICE has imposed on the families that work tirelessly to provide a better future for their kids.”

OMG!!! ARREST THESE AIDERS AND ABETTORS!
Is this supposed to hurt my feelings?
Parades for a festival that has what do do with the US?
What is conco de Mayo?
My legal Mexican friends will be angry. No low-rider parades? No big celebrations/picnics in the parks? Hmmm, this should be interesting.
Cinco de Mayo isn’t really a Mexican holiday, let alone one for Venezuelans.
“What is conco de Mayo?”
You drink and then you conc out.
Actually: Cinco de Mayo, celebrated on May 5, commemorates the Mexican army’s victory over France at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. This battle was significant as it represented a stand against foreign intervention during the Franco-Mexican War.
Is anyone here surprised?
Coming next: ‘May the fourth be with you’ will be cancelled to protect actual aliens.
Commemorates that time the Mexicans beat the French. Really.
Not the same as Mexican Independence Day (from Spain), and not even celebrated in all parts of Mexico.
Let's see if they do the same for Saint Patrick's. ;)
huh... sound like theyre learning...
If these politicians or their family members get stabbed to death in a robbery by an illegal invader then this cancelation will be a Pyrrhic victory .
That non-USA holiday parade should never be held — even if all it’s onlookers would be citizen members of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
No lo soy.
Civil War democrats, just like the 1860s bunch.
dems hate legal Hispanic citizens
dems love illegal alien criminal Hispanics.
that ought to lose them some more voted
oh ya, they dont need votes
they have fraud
WOO HOO! NO MORE STUPID CINCO DE MAYO PARADES!
Or am I taking this the wrong way???
Uhmmmmm... They don’t celebrate it in Mexico
Got to watch it arrive to Massachusetts in 1999. 1998…nothing.
The natives ate up the advertising.
Sneaky way to reduce a lot of DUI’s and blame it on ICE:)
