Episode Synopsis

With the holiday season it should be a busy time for Chicago’s neighborhood shopping districts.

While there’s heavy foot traffic on Michigan Avenue and the Mag Mile – not so in the city’s predominantly Latino areas – with many would-be customers scared off by Operation Midway Blitz.

Although Immigration Customs and Enforcement has ramped down its presence in the area – it’s unclear when the crowds will come back.
