The sanctuary cities of Chicago and Philadelphia have canceled their annual Cinco de Mayo parades, citing fears of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids targeting criminal illegal aliens.
Similarly, Philadelphia’s Carnaval de Puebla, a celebration of Mexican culture scheduled for April 27, was canceled due to concerns over potential ICE enforcement actions.
Since January, ICE has ramped up operations nationwide, arresting thousands of illegal aliens, including those with violent criminal records.
