As fears of imminent ICE raids grow, many neighborhoods in Chicago are witnessing a significant decline in activity, with businesses struggling to open and immigrant communities bracing for potential mass deportations. Federal authorities have reportedly identified numerous targets for deportation in the Chicago area, leading to increased anxiety among residents. Local organizations and community leaders are on high alert, striving to ease fears while emphasizing that Chicago police will not assist with deportation efforts. The atmosphere of uncertainty is exacerbated by misinformation and concerns that actions may extend to other cities across the U.S. Meanwhile, immigrants are taking precautionary measures, with some choosing to leave the country voluntarily as a response to the heightened threat of deportation under the Trump administration.
