Business owners in Flatbush, a predominantly Caribbean immigrant neighborhood in Brooklyn, report a sharp drop in foot traffic since reports of ICE activity began circulating in late May. A survey by the Flatbush-Nostrand Junction Business Improvement District found 70% of respondents saw decreased foot traffic, half reported customers expressing ICE-related concerns, and a third anticipate workforce reductions. Local leaders say the fear compounds existing economic pressures on immigrant-owned small businesses.
