Ask a Chicagoan about Little Village, and you\u2019ll learn that the neighborhood not only holds cultural history but also economic weight in the city.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“[26th Street] is a very blessed street for commerce. People come to visit from many places,\u201d Patricia Rodriguez, owner of Paty\u2019s Restaurant Carnitas y Otras Delicias, said in Spanish.<\/p>\n

Lauded as the \u201csecond Magnificent Mile<\/u><\/a>\u201d or sometimes \u201cMexico of the Midwest,\u201d 26th Street in Little Village had reported to rake in\u00a0$900M in annual revenue<\/u><\/a>\u00a0in recent years, all in the span of two miles. On a typical weekend, you might find parking hard to come by, smells of arrachera skirt steak and sounds of Norte\u00f1o regional music spilling onto the main corridor. Here, resides a community that is more than\u00a080 percent Latino<\/a>, and highly entrepreneurial.<\/p>\n

Rodriguez became a new business owner on the strip three years ago when she turned her affinity for cooking into a business. Now, her menu touts a variety of Mexican cuisine. But when the Trump administration\u2019s\u00a0deportation campaign<\/a>\u00a0descended in the neighborhood last fall, her bottom line felt the impact. She recalls the business taking home only $80 in a day due to reduced foot traffic and customers.<\/p>\n

“It impacted us a lot,\u201d she said, citing that word of mouth reviews and organized group visits in Little Village to stimulate the local economy have helped.<\/p>\n

Jennifer Aguilar, Executive Director of the\u00a0Little Village Chamber of Commerce<\/u><\/a>\u00a0sees the trend across business in Little Village, starting on 26th Street. She cites local businesses, who have shared a 20 to 70 percent drop in sales following raids.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of them have not recovered,\u201d she said, \u201cespecially businesses like hair salons and barber shops that offer services that people may not see as essential to risk going out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Federal Policy Volatility At Large<\/h2>\n

Business owners are up against federal policy instability coming from multiple directions at once, not all of them equally visible. From sudden tariff shifts, to cuts to federal programs and immigration raids, these are all changes that Tonantzin Carmona, Fellow at the Brookings Institution has\u00a0covered closely.<\/u><\/a>\u00a0The constant unpredictability, she notes, is what keeps businesses on edge.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt becomes harder to plan as a small business,\u201d she said. \u201cYou don\u2019t know whether you can hire, whether you can expand, whether you should buy more of your product upfront now or later.”<\/p>\n

For Latino-owned businesses, which\u00a0grew<\/a>\u00a0in nearly 90% of U.S. metro areas from 2017 to 2022, Carmona notes that they feel it acutely.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been viewing Latino entrepreneurs as economic bellwethers in that, because of the industries in which they are clustered, they are likely to feel the effects of policy volatility first,\u201d she said. Latino-owned businesses tend to sit in food, construction, accommodation and retail trade. \u201cThese are industries that require physical presence. It has an effect to customers, workers, but also just the community at large.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\n

It\u2019s a reality that Evelyn Flores, owner and co-founder of\u00a0Alborada Quince<\/u><\/a>\u00a0is facing in real time. After 19 years in business in Little Village, she and her husband face uncertainty on the path forward. They expanded from a leased to owned space in late 2024, ahead of the latest wave of immigration raids. Meanwhile, their new property meant quadrupled monthly expenses, plus renovations and deposits. When raids hit in 2025, she recalls Little Village turned into a \u201cghost town.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe outdoor vendors weren\u2019t there anymore,\u201d she said. \u201cWe were getting phone calls of people canceling their events. People weren\u2019t picking up their orders.\u201d<\/p>\n

As cancellations rose and business slowed, Flores found herself having to lay off employees. The biggest months for sales in the quincea\u00f1era industry run from January through May. In the thick of the season, her business is not back to normal.<\/p>\n

While Aguilar is no stranger to the\u00a0resilience of Latino-owned businesses<\/u><\/a>, which was evident in the impact and recovery from COVID-19, the landscape looks quite different today.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s bone chilling to me, and it’s a reality that we’re facing,\u201d Aguilar said. \u201cRight now I had conversations last week with over 15 businesses, one on one and shared that they were behind on rent.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aguilar said the possibility of vacancies is very high, an issue that 26th Street has not suffered from in recent years. She believes it\u2019s these kinds of changes that could lead to increased joblessness and violence in the neighborhood. The economic impact, however, goes beyond the neighborhood lines.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Chicago is] known for 77 neighborhoods and the cultural diversity that we have as a city,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd I think that if those hubs start dying down, it\u2019s definitely going to affect the economy of the city as a whole.\u201d<\/p>\n

Resilience and Solutions<\/h2>\n

Following the large exit of immigration enforcement out of Chicago mid-November, organizations, philanthropies and businesses responded with solutions to bring back foot traffic. For Day of the Dead, the Little Village Chamber of Commerce collaborated with more than 40 businesses to honor the holiday and promote specials. In December, more businesses joined in on a programming that featured a holiday trolley, making drop offs at designated businesses. On seeing the success of events, it\u2019s something the chamber plans to replicate.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe saw faces that we\u2019ve never seen before, people that were coming here for this,\u201d Aguilar said. \u201cSo I think that’s where we’re going. [We\u2019re] creating more activities that focus on our businesses to bring foot traffic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, other local organizations supporting immigrant communities like\u00a0Latinos Progresando<\/u><\/a>\u00a0are stepping in. Founder and CEO Luis Gutierrez said response has centered on providing resources addressing business owner needs: stability, visibility and revenue. These have included a series of approaches from know-your-rights webinars and technical resources, to shop local campaigns, and most recently a relief fund to help mitigate losses from recent raids.<\/p>\n

\u201cLatino entrepreneurs are incredibly resilient, but this is an extraordinary time,\u201d he said. \u201cCorporations and larger institutions are in a great position to be supportive. They can add local small businesses to their lists of preferred vendors, and tap into local businesses for company outings, for example.\u201d<\/p>\n

In recent\u00a0commentary<\/u><\/a>\u00a0in the Brookings Institution, these community advocates also discuss local government as part of the solution to help businesses recover. Carmona highlighted how in October 2025\u00a0Los Angeles County<\/u><\/a>\u00a0declared a state of emergency as a reply to the financial fallout from raids. This made it possible for officials to establish legal aid, expedite hiring, and execute rent-relief funds. While Latino-owned businesses have limited federal programs to turn to for support across the country, Carmona has seen civic actors step up and encourage communities to shop local, owners dip into savings and expects entrepreneurs to turn to leveraging technology for creative solutions.<\/p>\n

In Little Village, Aguilar hopes for longer term solutions as well and to turn the corridor into a landing place to be visited by all.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe think that the answer is in driving, tourism, in driving different kinds of visitors to Little Village and making it the destination,\u201d Aguilar said.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Referencing History to Understand Today<\/h2>\n

While Little Village hasn\u2019t always been known for its Mexican population, it has been distinctly immigrant-made. It was originally settled by Czech, Polish, and other central European working class immigrants who labored in local factories after the\u00a0Great Fire of 1871.<\/u><\/a>\u00a0When many existing immigrants began to move into the suburbs in the 1960s, often referred to as \u201cwhite flight<\/a>,\u201d it made space for Mexican immigrants to move in as they had been displaced from other\u00a0parts of the city due to urban renewal policies<\/u><\/a>. By 2000, more than 90,000 people made their home in the area, with more than 80 percent Latino nearly half foreign-born, according to the\u00a0Encyclopedia of Chicago.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI know that a lot of people in like my generation, their parents arrived here around the same time, the \u201870s, \u201880s,\u201d she said, \u201cand a lot of our parents remember in the \u201880s too when immigration [enforcement] was running rampant on 26th street, and they would go into businesses, and they would go on to busses, they would go into factories.\u201d<\/p>\n

The history of immigration enforcement targeting working class Mexican immigrant communities in the Chicago area is documented as far as one hundred years ago. Ismael Cuevas, making his curatorial debut with the exhibit “Rieles y Ra\u00edces<\/a>” at the\u00a0National Museum of Mexican Art<\/a>\u00a0in Chicago, explores this moment in American history. Using community sourced materials, the exhibit documents how a first wave of Mexican immigrants in the 1920s, traqueros, were fundamental to building railroads in the Midwest. One of them was his great uncle. While these workers built one of the nation\u2019s most lucrative\u00a0businesses to date<\/u><\/a>, Mexican workers lived in boxcars, the housing available to them. Cuevas references that Mexican immigrants like many immigrants of that era, were following the American Dream, and bought homes in redlined areas. At that point, national sentiment had begun to shift.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy the 1930s, the Mexicans became a threat, and that\u2019s when the first deportation campaign started,\u201d Cuevas said.<\/p>\n

The Mexican Repatriation drives of the 1930s led by local governments and officials saw the mass deportation of nearly\u00a0two million people of Mexican<\/u><\/a>\u00a0descent to Mexico. Researchers estimated around 60 percent of these people were actually American citizens.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think something similar is going to happen where we’re going to become bigger in activism,\u201d Aguilar said. “The only thing we can do is protect ourselves, help each other and speak out, continue to speak out, and just work together.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
