A nationwide economic blackout is scheduled for Friday, with numerous local businesses joining the protest to voice concerns over federal immigration enforcement policies. The coordinated pause in commercial activity aims to draw attention to the impact of ICE operations on immigrant communities and small enterprises. Organizers hope the demonstration will prompt legislative review and encourage more humane approaches to immigration enforcement. Participating businesses will temporarily close their doors as a symbolic gesture of solidarity, emphasizing the economic and social contributions of immigrants. The event underscores growing civic engagement around immigration reform and its broader implications for the national economy.
