Deportation Arrests in Houston Creating Ghost Town, Says ICE

A source within Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) says federal law enforcement agents assigned to assist their agency in the round-up of migrants in an illegal status in Houston have unofficially dubbed the mass deportation plan “Operation 47” in honor of President Donald Trump. The mass deportation operation carried out in parts of Houston has netted several high-profile criminal alien arrests but is also impacting local businesses.
The source says department stores, restaurants, and bars in some parts of Houston are nearly empty because migrants who frequent them have chosen to stay away out of fear of being apprehended. The source, who is not authorized to speak to the media, says the agents in the Houston area assigned to the ATF, DEA, and the U.S. Marshals Service, who were recently granted the authority to enforce immigration law, have humorously dubbed the mission “Operation 47.”
A recent news report by KPRC2 in Houston describes an empty Farmers market, usually bustling with consumers, as completely empty on Tuesday. In the report, the customers who failed to show out of fear of the ICE operations being conducted were referred to as “diverse consumers.” One vendor told KPRC2 the migrants who are in an illegal status are asking others who are legally in the United States to buy milk for them since they are afraid to come outside.
