Chicago's Mexican Celebrations Cancelled Amid Trump and ICE Tensions

Amid reports of plans by Donald Trump to deploy troops and immigration agents to Chicago, several Mexican Independence Day events have been canceled due to safety concerns, reflecting heightened tensions and anxiety in the city. Trump has also been targeting Democratic-led cities with increased law enforcement presence, despite crime rates decreasing overall. Additionally, postal traffic into the US has dropped significantly after tariff exemptions ended, and the Trump administration is expanding immigration enforcement to Massachusetts.
