Waukegan, Illinois - On Wednesday, Margaret Carrasco, the President of Fiesta Patrias in Waukegan that sponsors the annual Mexican Independence Day Parade and Festival for the last 30 years confirmed that the September 14, 2025 Fiesta Patrias parade and festival has been postponed until November to combine it with the Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) due to safety reasons and threat of a large scale USICE operation including the deployment of the National Guard from 6 red states to assist in immigration and domestic law enforcement operations in Chicago (Cook County) and Lake County, which includes the City of Waukegan. It's the first time that the Fiesta Patrias organizers have postponed its annual event in 30 years.
This year's Fiesta Patrias parade included more than 100 food and item vendors, 100 horses, 6 Mexican style bands and more than 200 parade units (3 mile long parade), making it the largest one-day parade and festival in the midwest, and draws millions of dollars of economic imput annually to the Great Lakes County, according to Carrasco.
According to Carrasco, an official with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in the Great Lakes region adviced that all upcoming events that will draw crowds to Mexican Independence Day celebrations should be canceled indicating that the events, parades and festivals have been allegedly targeted for immigration enforcement by (Make Amerikkka Great Again-MAGA) USICE and the assisting MAGA National Guard.
Carrasco also posted in her Facebook account in social media that at 300 USICE and federal agents and 1,700 National Guard troops have arrived at the Great Lakes Naval Station, 3355 Illinois Street in North Chicago, Illinois. She says, additional troops and federal agents are expected to be deployed in the Chicago metropolitan area by Trump and Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense.
Most immigration and domestic law enforcement in California by both MAGA Gestapo masked USICE officials and red states National Guard has been documented as illegal and unconstitutional.
A federal judge just ruled that Trump and Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense violated federal law when they allowed the National Guard to assist USICE in immigration enforcement in California. The National Guard is prohibited by federal law to enforce domestic law and make arrests of civilians.
Hegseth is accused of violating two different clauses of the U.S. Constitution: the Posse Comitatus Act. The Posse Comitatus Act limits the use of federal military personnel for domestic law enforcement. U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer's ruling cited actions such as "security patrols, traffic control, crowd control, and riot control" as unlawful, CNN dot com reported.
The National Guard that is being deployed in Blue states like California and Illinois come from 6 red states, which Republican governors from West Virginia, South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, Ohio, and Tennessee have sent troops to help Trump in his attempt to curve crime.
The National Guard deployed to Blue states is most likely infiltrated by White supremacists and Trump supporters who will follow Trump's orders, even if his orders are illegal and unconstitutional.
