The annual Cinco de Mayo parade in Little Village, Chicago, has been cancelled due to immigration concerns. The event, which celebrates Mexico's victory over Napoleon III’s French army in 1862, was held twice in the past year due to the aggressive deportation campaign by the Trump administration. Many people are avoiding public gatherings due to fears of raids and increased immigration enforcement.
