Abstract

The article focuses on the impact of recent immigration raids in Chicago on local businesses, particularly in the Little Village area, known for its vibrant Mexican community. Dulcelandia, a candy store, has experienced a significant drop in sales, with business down over 50% due to decreased foot traffic and rising costs from tariffs. The fear of raids has led to a 30% decline in customer visits, affecting around 400 businesses in the area, including restaurants and flower shops. Local officials are concerned about the economic repercussions and have increased security for upcoming events, while some businesses are adapting to the challenging environment by altering their operations.
