‘I’m scared to death to leave my house’: ICE raids freeze businesses and fracture families
- On June 10, 2025, demonstrators rallied in the heart of Santa Ana to protest ICE operations targeting immigrant communities and businesses throughout Southern California.
- The raids escalated over weeks due to a strategic shift targeting labor sites, causing fear and uncertainty among immigrant workers, including law-abiding residents and those without criminal records.
- Businesses such as Alexa Vargas’s Vibes Boutique in Santa Ana and Hector’s Mariscos reported sales declines of about 30% to 40%, with empty tables and slowed foot traffic tied to immigration enforcement fears.
- In 2024, Hispanic-owned businesses in California generated upwards of 500,000 jobs and brought in annual revenues exceeding $100 billion, while immigrants contributed $140 billion in tax income to the state, underscoring their significant economic impact amid heightened enforcement actions.
- The raids' ongoing impact threatens economic stability and community wellbeing, prompting leaders like Cathy Rodriguez-Aguirre to urge support for local Hispanic-owned businesses to help mitigate these effects.
