Fear spread through New York’s immigrant communities Sunday following a series of federal raids that led to the arrest of around 40 people.
On Staten Island, where five people were arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement since Feb. 3, a Mexican restaurant, La Catracha, was unusually empty.
"Usually the place is filled with families. But today is empty. No one is leaving their homes. They are afraid," said Diana Matute, 40, who owns the restaurant in Port Richmond.
