What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A survey found that two-thirds of construction contractors believe ICE raids on immigrant communities negatively affect the U.S. housing market, making it harder to find laborers and causing new construction projects to stop. While the issue was previously localized to areas like South Texas, the widening of enforcement has created a larger problem for the sector.
