FELIX DE BEDOUT: And out of fear of current immigration policies, several cities throughout the country canceled their Cinco de Mayo celebrations. The traditional parade at the Little Village in Chicago, for example, which brought together hundreds of thousands of people, is cancelled- has not just left a cultural void for the community, but an emotional one as well. Wendy Castillo with the report.
WENDY CASTILLO: For the past 45 years, the Little Village neighborhood in Chicago was synonymous with music, color and Mexican pride every Cinco de Mayo. But this year the traditional celebration, which drew up to 300,000 people, was cancelled. According to organizers, the feeling of fear that exists among Latino communities has caused widespread fear of possible arrests or immigration raids.
MARTA GARCÍA: It is affecting all of us, all of us. So it's as if the people had voted for someone so they could come and beat us over the head.
