Latino business owners at the Midtown Global Market in Minneapolis are experiencing a significant decline in sales, attributing this downturn to the pervasive atmosphere of fear surrounding immigration policies. Many entrepreneurs report that their customer base has shrunk as community members feel increasingly anxious about potential immigration enforcement actions.
The uncertainty surrounding immigration status has led to a noticeable decrease in foot traffic, which, in turn, has impacted revenue for these businesses. Owners express concern that the current climate discourages not only patrons from the Latino community but also allies who previously supported local shops and restaurants.
Despite their efforts to foster a welcoming environment, the ongoing immigration crackdown has created an atmosphere of apprehension. Business owners are calling for support from local authorities and community members to help combat these challenges and restore confidence among consumers. As they navigate these difficult times, the resilience of Latino entrepreneurs remains a focal point for the community.
