ICE Raids Send Chill Through Summer Festivals
Organizers of Harrisonburg, Va.'s annual Hispanic Festival say they watched with mounting alarm as the Trump administration ramped up immigration enforcement nationwide, sweeping up many migrants who hadn't been charged with a crime.
Then the crackdown came to town with a big jolt. On June 3, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested eight occupants of a van pulled over for allegedly tailgating. All were found to be in the U.S. illegally and are now being deported, the government said.
