Border Patrol Returns to Haunt Chicago’s Economy Before Holidays

President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown is returning to Chicago, with raids carried out by US Border Patrol threatening to disrupt businesses before the holidays.

Gregory Bovino, the agency’s at-large commander who became the face of violent clashes in Chicago, was back in the city on Tuesday, carrying out raids in neighborhoods including Little Village. The area dotted with taquerias and Mexican stores saw sales tax collection drop more than 30% in October, at the height of an immigration operation dubbed “Operation Midway Blitz.”
