Illegal migrants fearing deportation are said to be in hiding, turning usually crowded factories, warehouses and grocery stores into ghost towns.
President Donald Trump has order federal agents to at least 1,200 to 1,500 illegal aliens each day as part of his sweeping immigration crackdown.
Scared undocumented migrants began hunkering down after Trump took office for the second time last week, with dozens failing to turn up to work.
Only 10 out of the usually 40 to 50 migrants workers attended their shifts at a factory in Joliet, Illinois last week, The Chicago Tribune reported, as six federal agencies swept the Greater Chicago area for 'potentially dangerous criminal aliens'.
Locals claim a Home Depot parking lot that is normally packed with day laborers seeking work was 'eerily quiet' with just a men standing around.
Sunday mass at Chicago's St. Agnes of Bohemia Catholic Church was also unusually empty, parishioners claim, likely because the Trump Administration relaxed rules governing enforcement actions at 'sensitive' locations such as schools, churches and workplaces.

ICE agents raided a factory in Springfield, Ohio - a rural area that made headlines over its Haitian migrant population in the run-up to the 2024 election - on Friday, according to social media reports.
One X user claims that following the raid at the Japanese Topre last week, staffing turn out has been low.
'Supposedly they had no 1st shift that day,' the user wrote. 'Topre normally operates 3 shifts, 24/7. I've NEVER seen the parking lot this empty, even on a Sunday.'

Asked about the rule change, Tom Homan, who was tapped to oversee Trump's hard-line immigration agenda, said Sunday it sends a clear message.
'There's consequences of entering the country illegally. If we don't show there's consequences, you're never going to fix the border problem,' Homan, who is also the former head of ICE, said.

All eyes during Trump's first week in office have been on immigration enforcement and deportations, though it was unclear to what extent actions have increased from predecessor Joe Biden.
Homan called on Congress to pass additional funding for dealing with those arrested.
'We're gonna need more ICE beds, a minimum of 100,000,' he told ABC News. 'We're going to try to be efficient. But with more money we have, the more we can accomplish.'
Trump has been unhappy with the number of arrests so far and has directed federal immigration officials to meet higher detention quotas, the Washington Post reported Sunday.
It said he was ordering ICE to raise the arrest numbers from a few hundred a day to at least 1,200 to 1,500, citing people with knowledge of internal briefings.


Commentary:
If enough pressure is place upon them, self-deport that may be a good option.
If they are rounded up and deported, they will never be allowed back.
I happened to notice the same thing here in North Carolina.
Illegals are getting the message and are trying to go underground.
If these places actually employed LEGAL citizens or residents, this wouldn't be a problem. Great time to go shopping without the crowds anyway.
This will force these businesses to pay American citizens decent wages, what's not to like..More Pay....More Tax Revenue......Ya, I will pay more to feel safer and increase our economy's revenue base..
Seems business's may be forced to hire Americans to do the jobs illegal aliens were hired at low wages to perform.
Just think teenagers will be able to find part-time Summer work.

So… it’s working.

So I'm wondering about people who are in the country legally, but look "suspicious," like Marco Rubio or someone like that. What documents would they have to show to a Federal agent to prove they are in the country legally? I guess if you have a "green card," then you have a green card, but I'm a native citizen and I don't carry anything that proves it.

I guess states that knowingly issued DLs to illegals kind of screwed to for the legals.

I’m assuming you have a social security number… if not, give me your address and I’ll pass it on to ICE.

The "Golden Tickets" used to be a combination of your voter card/DL but the dems fucked that all up when they got shed of the voter card and started issuing DLs to illegals.

A DL and Concealed Pistol Permit gets the job done now as far as two forms of ID.

Republicans need to repeal 'Motor Voter'. Just stick the repeal in some bill, on the sly if necessary.

Drivers License, real ID.

What a great idea. They imported themselves here at their expense, maybe they should deport themselves at their expense.

Yes, the facist threar]ts and open intimidation are working.

Largely on I. Ofent people.

No one want to be given the bum’s rush by cops just because of the color of their skin.

That’s what Trump and his white supremacist brown shirts want.

If they’re here legally they have no reason to feel apprehensive.

And no one is.

I hope this development works to alleviate some of the traffic congestion in the DC area. Highspanics, legal or not, flock to the DC area because the money supply is unending. The result is paved-over front yards to accommodate six cars per dwelling and gridlock overflowing onto the beltway from exit ramps that lead to locales dominated by highspanics.

Hey Mr. Fizzle, no one gets the bum's rush for the color of their skin, but they will get the bum's rush for criminally and illegally invading our country.

You don't carry an ID? I always carry my ID because you could be in an accident or something.

In CA, the undocumented DL is different from others. Most states have Real ID DL currently that will do it. Military or VA medical ID, Passport. All will suffice on their own

55% of the population wants all illegals out. 55%! You lost the election. Go back into your hole...

You see that all over old West Springfield.....Say between Rolling Road and I95/495. I suspect east of that it's worse around Franconia and such..

They tear down the old ranch homes sitting on .25 acre then build a McMansion on it and the whole remaining yard is paved.

When I would get down that way for yard sales early on a Saturday morning the people living in them would still be there. 6-8 cars would be the norm.....They mostly seemed to be either Pakis or Hispanics.

You could tell the difference by the cars....Pakis would have nice cars, Hispanics, rusted out shitbox Honda Accords and the like.

I haven't been down that way since the Covid but I doubt if it's any better.

There is estimated to be 220K illegals in the counties that make-up NOtVA.....I suspect that's low, I figure there is that many in just Prince William Co alone.
