For those who are wondering why this is empty: LA is 47% Hispanic. No, like literally it's almost half Hispanic.
With the way ICE just randomly detains people (not checking ids or verifying or needing warrants or any reason besides that they want to get you), no one wants to take the risk that they will get rounded up just because they look a certain way. Even if you are a US citizen, you don't want that hassle.
I live in Miami. There's a night club I always pass by on the weekends that is so poppin it literally overflows into the parking lot. It looks a like a scene from a fast and furious movie with dudes and chicks looking their flyest hanging around sweet looking cars taking rides up and down the block. First Friday I've seen it almost completely empty. no cars, no overflow, just a couple people chilling outside.

I work at a small business in Phoenix that caters to the Hispanic population and business has been very slow for the past few weeks.
I don’t think people realize how much Latinos, citizens or not, contribute to the economy.
