Villalobos participated in a press conference with businessmen and business leaders of several states, such as Florida, Texas and Illinois, to talk about the impact of the mass deportation plan of President Donald Trump and how they have negatively impacted migrant populations. “From Chicago, you know that our members report that pedestrian traffic and operations have decreased up to 50% during the last weekonly for fear, ”said Rebecca Shi, executive director of the US Business Immigration Coalition (ABIC), who operates in Illinois.

The organization also noted that Trump’s immigration policies include expanding accelerated deportation, which was applied mainly for immigrants who were maximum 100 miles from the border. Homan told Fox News that the arrests of undocumented immigrants will increase. “I think the president is happy, but we are going to make it much happier,” said Homan. “These raids will continue throughout the country. We are not going to give up. ” On average, ICE is stopping almost 500 immigrants daily, but on Sunday he reported the arrest of 956, which is considered a record for a single day of operations.
