Immigrant communities fearful after 6 Brooklyn raids in 5 days
As raids of undocumented immigrants continue throughout the city, fear is running high in immigrant communities across Brooklyn.
Mayor Bill de Blasio announced at a press conference Wednesday that there have been at least eight ICE raids throughout the city. Six of these raids were in Brooklyn.
Eye witnesses deemed credible by MOIA representatives reported four took place in Sunset Park, one in Midwood and one in Bay Ridge, which took place Wednesday morning. All eight raids, which took place across the span of five days, were unsuccessful and did not lead to arrests.
