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.

Time to go shopping at Walmart and see. Also...laundromats. Big time.
True.
“I DOUBT THEY WERE “ASSETS” IN THEIR ORIGINAL COUNTRY.”
It seems they are firstly deporting serious violent and drug and gang criminals, so, agreed there.
But some apparent illegals I have known don’t seem to be these type troublemakers. Working, usually (albeit Americans can’t work in the jobs they fill). I could see where the working ones could be assets to their country rather than being here. I’d like to believe that.
This is how its done. Make their lives as miserable as possible and unable to work or go out with fear.
Then they will go back to their country...
I once used it 9 times but I am sure someone can beat that record....
There must not be any American citizens employed anymore
“Employers should have to prove they are not hiring illegls.’

For three years running the HR lady in my center would come to me asking me to bring in documentation of my citizenship (natural born, of American parents).
The third year she was pissed. “It’s not like you have MY name. Your name is clearly Irish.”
I am thinking she not only sent my documentation she called the Corporate office and yelled at someone.
Never heard from them again. LOL
Republicans angry with ‘Catholic Charities’ on Monday urged Pres.Trump to ‘defund the organization’ after they published a video offering advice to illegal immigrants in danger of getting deported by law enforcement.
Example.....”if stopped by officials to ‘refuse to answer’ questions about their immigration status and demand a lawyer.
Catholic Charities is one of many organizations that receives millions of dollars every year to help relocate and settle illegal immigrants into the Untied States.
