Illegal Aliens Worried as Trump-Era ICE Raids Loom
Breitbart ^ | 01/23/2025 | Alana Mastrangelo

Illegal aliens fearful of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids under President Donald Trump are staying inside, reportedly causing foot traffic to drop by 50 percent in a busy Chicago shopping district known as “Mexico of the Midwest.”

Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood dotted with taquerias and Mexican grocery stores “turned into a ghost town” by Monday afternoon, after Trump was sworn into office, according to a report by Bloomberg.

By Tuesday morning, several shops in Little Village, which is also known as the “Mexico of the Midwest,” were closed.

“Business was just down, people were staying home, people were worried about: one the cold, but two, they were fearful of engaging with ICE,” Mike Rodriguez, an alderman for the 22nd ward, which includes Little Village, told Bloomberg.

SO an entire town went ghost over Trump’s deportations, just goes to show how bad this problem is. Deport the entire town! Literally it is a town of criminals.

They're criminals. They're in America illegally. Do their defenders (dopey catholics, for example?) not realize this?

Plus, crimigrants represent a disproportionately large number of career criminals/repeat offenders, etc.

If they really are worried, they might better take the initiative and head for home. They managed to get here by themselves, they should be able to leave by themselves.

So I wandered into a book store the other day. When I asked the middle aged pink haired lady if she could help me find a book, she asked me what the title was. I told her I couldn't remember the title, but it was the latest book by President Trump explaining his plan to eliminate illegal immigration. She said, "Get the hell out of here, and don't come back."

I said, "Yeah, that's the one. Do you have it in paperback?"

Well, they should be worried. They told Americans to ****-OFF and invaded our country. They can cut down on the worry by going home and going home now. Take their families with them so they won’t be separated.

This article is written as if these people are victims and the local economy will suffer because they are rounding up people that shouldn’t be here in the first place.

Sometimes I really wonder about Breitbart.

“Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers hit the ground running this week, arresting multiple violent offenders in sanctuary cities, including a hostile Haitian gang member with a lengthy rap sheet who said he “ain’t going back to Haiti” and raged, “F–k Trump, Biden forever!”

ICE officers in Boston made eight noteworthy arrests, including multiple MS-13 gang members, murder and rape suspects and the Haitian gang member, with 18 recent convictions, according to Fox News, who rode along with ICE for the arrests.

There was also at least one “collateral” arrest where ICE took an illegal immigrant who wasn’t an initial target into custody, with the arrest in Boston of an MS-13 gang member who had been released by the sanctuary city.”

WINNING!

I do. I hope they are worried. They should be worried. They broke the law, they invaded America, and were pawns of globalist marxists abroad and at home seeking to social-engineering America. Worry and Fear are great motivators.

perhaps they will leave on their own. Perhaps they will tell all their friends and relatives "It was a bad idea to come to USA"

From the article: Illegal aliens fearful...

Deservedly so. They invaded the country.

Now lets see articles about their victims' fear.

So it’s the same as “Jail escapee frets that jailers will find him”. I say, good, that’s the way it’s supposed to be.
