Chicago Cinco de Mayo organizers have again cancelled the annual parade due to immigration fears. This follows the same cancellation of the same event last year. Organizers argue that immigration policies from the Trump administration are creating fear in the community. The historic parade, which celebrates Mexican heritage, is typically held in the first week of May. Last year, nearly half of the event's sponsors dropped out due to concerns about immigration enforcement. The decision to cancel the event was made due to fears of confrontation and arrests.
