LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Broadacres Marketplace in North Las Vegas temporarily closed its doors, citing ongoing ICE raids across the country.
“People are scared, and they don’t want to get caught by ICE. Everything is collapsing,” local vendor, Marco Falcon, told 8 News Now.
Falcon, who sells a variety of tools at the marketplace and has for 30 years now, said he doesn’t know what he is going to do amid the temporary closure.
“I will have to reinvent myself because I won’t be able to run my business here and I don’t know how long it is going to be closed,” he added.
A staple within North Las Vegas for almost 50 years, Broadacres Marketplace has been a hub for Latino workers and their families for decades.
Their management team issued a statement on social media over the weekend, that reads in part,
“With fear and uncertainty at its highest level ever among the immigrant community in Las Vegas; we have decided to temporarily close Broadacres Marketplace out of an abundance of caution and concern for our community.”
The statement also said that they don’t want any of their customers, vendors, or employees to be detained by federal immigration raids.
The marketplace’s closure follows reports of increased ICE activity throughout the west coast.
“We’re being targeted, and it sucks,” North Las Vegas local, Aidee Gavira said.
Community members told 8 News Now that the raids have put a lot of families on edge.
“Where is everybody at? You can’t even find anyone selling flowers on the street or even selling tacos anymore. Everyone is scared to come out,” North Las Vegas local, Desaree Cruz-Atilano said.

More ICE please!
“Falcon, who sells a variety of tools at the marketplace and has for 30 years now,”
He can make amends by remitting 30 years of sales tax he did not collect.
Marketplace or underground economy?
Taxes, (sales, payroll, etc.) and regulations being flouted?
Poaching business from legit business with legit stockholders (big and small)?
etc.
“We’re ICE! Cool it!”
1) Deport the illegal immigrants
2) Get rid of the income tax and replace it with a national retail sales tax.
Demonstrating that US employers are part of the problem breaking the law hiring illegals. Disgusting.
I love ICE.
3) a 10% import tariff
If the patrons have been “going there for decades,” then the majority should have gotten citizenship by now, had kids here, become American, and thus have no fear of ICE or deportation.
Sounds like a place to sell stolen goods if you ask me.
“...can’t even find anyone selling flowers on the street or even selling tacos anymore...”
They can do that back in their own 3rd world shithole country. Get out! All of them out. /spit
I will have to reinvent myself because I won’t be able to run my business.
Don’t place faith in that it didn’t work the first time.
“because I won’t be able to run my business here”
Selling shiiite to Illegal Alien Invaders isn’t a business.
It’s Insurrection.
Hopefully it was a skanky,Feral District “judge”, that “temporarily” closed it “for now.”
Just maybe the owner of this “market” for illegal aliens should be arrested for aiding and abetting illegals...and the selling of stolen property? ALL illegal alien criminals should tossed OUT!!! NO EXCEPTIONS.
Sounds more like the owner of the market doesn’t want to get caught for either/both being illegal after all these years, hiring illegals and not reporting those in the stalls.
FLEA MARKET
Flee market
C’mon.....that’s an entirely different tier of justice that .gov has no will to enforce.....
