Immigration raids hit Springfield hard – Tennessee -(up to 1,000 Hispanic residents flee the city)
Tagged: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Raids, Tennessee
Some estimate that 1,000 Hispanic residents fled the city in fear or went into hiding after a handful of immigration raids.
Those left behind deal with the fallout — empty homes and businesses and anxious waiting for what comes next.
Springfield landlord James Huffine said he’ll lose $5,000 this month in cleaning, hauling and lost rent after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested members of five families last month who lived in his apartment units. Huffine said his tenants showed him work identification and paycheck stubs issued by Electrolux, Robertson County’s largest employer, and he believed they were here legally.”*
