Illegal migrants fearing deportation are said to be in hiding, turning usually crowded factories, warehouses and grocery stores into ghost towns.
President Donald Trump has order federal agents to at least 1,200 to 1,500 illegal aliens each day as part of his sweeping immigration crackdown.
Scared undocumented migrants began hunkering down after Trump took office for the second time last week, with dozens failing to turn up to work.
Only 10 out of the usually 40 to 50 migrants workers attended their shifts at a factory in Joliet, Illinois last week, The Chicago Tribune reported, as six federal agencies swept the Greater Chicago area for 'potentially dangerous criminal aliens'.
Locals claim a Home Depot parking lot that is normally packed with day laborers seeking work was 'eerily quiet' with just a men standing around.
Sunday mass at Chicago's St. Agnes of Bohemia Catholic Church was also unusually empty, parishioners claim, likely because the Trump Administration relaxed rules governing enforcement actions at 'sensitive' locations such as schools, churches and workplaces.
Social media is flooding with reports of empty factory parking lots, doctor's office waiting rooms, grocers and big box stores, such as Walmart, in wake of Trump's mass deportation efforts.
Immigration officials arrested nearly 1,000 illegal migrants on Sunday alone as the White House praised the federal agents who are 'working tirelessly to protect our communities'.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reported making a total of 593 arrests on Friday and 286 arrests on Saturday. In the 2024 federal fiscal year, it averaged around 310 per day, according to agency data.

And take 30-40 Americans off of the unemployment rolls..
I needed some pipe cut and threaded and no one could be found. As I stood there I noticed that they had written the password for the keypad next to it so I just started cutting and threading it myself. Hilarity ensued.
BINGO!!!
And next we will read headlines about how this is all killing the joy in the economy. Give it time. Got to break a few fifty-cent eggs.
That’s a good way to get help, too. Thanks for the tip.
What about the Marijuana groves here in Newscum’s Commiefornia? I’m assuming they’re still fully staffed? See?, there’s a bright side to everything if you’ll just take a breath and look.
I think the limit is three times. Then you have to say "amidst."
While we're on the subject, don't forget "beloved."
Forsooth, thou dost protest too much!
People fail to mention the fact that people were always able to come in the legal way.
I do not feel sorry for them. I feel sorry for us that we have been neglected by our own country in order to give those here illegally what should have been spent on American citizens who are the people forced to fund this illegal invasion.
No more free phones, food, healthcare, housing, cash. Americans don’t even get that.
Yes, I believe I can also remember that. Employers should have to prove they are not hiring illegls.
Hopefully they’re all already headed towards the border to self deport.
What kind of morons write this crap? Do they not have editors in that country?
I perceive you are very wise, Sir Knight. Will you join me in my quest for The Grail?
What kind of construction goes on mid-winter in the Windy City?
There is a Home Depot in Happy Valley, OR, where all the products’ Spanish language side is facing out, guys are selling oranges by the bag in the parking lot, latinas are peddling tamales out of their trunk, and most customers appear unable to speak english.
I go to Oregon City Home Depot so I can feel like I’m in America.
Drive out the Home Depot parking lot, roll down your window and scream “La Migra!” in terror.
Watch them run!
I DOUBT THEY WERE “ASSETS” IN THEIR ORIGINAL COUNTRY.
These are good signs.
America is for the citizens and immigrants who come here legally. If you have to hide and skip work because you are afraid of being deported then perhaps it is time to self-deport while you still have the ability to control the material decisions involved in that process.
The media is trying to make us feel sorry for them. I don’t. Come here legally and have nothing to fear.
In the words of our amazing Vice President “I don’t really care Margaret!”
Adios!
I go to HD if I know exactly what I need to get.
I go to the local Ace Hardware if I need help.
