Business down, fear up – Grand Island, Nebraska (the ripple effect of a raid in a smaller town)
Tagged: NebraskaPosted on: December 14th, 2006“On Wednesday afternoon, Linda Ponce hadn’t seen one customer come through the doors of Novedades Evelynn on Fourth Street in Grand Island.
Not one.
“There wasnt anyone who showed up and they were scared to go shopping,” Ponce said through translator Oscar Erives. “The fear was that ICE Immigration and Customs Enforcement was on the streets. People were looking at skin color; they were seeing if they were Hispanic.”"
