An annual festival in Philadelphia dedicated to celebrating Mexican culture and history has been cancelled, with organizers citing fear that US Immigration and Customs Enforcement might be present and target attendees. Since President Donald Trump’s inauguration, ICE has detained thousands of people, using aggressive methods like the rarely-used Alien Enemies Act to deport them quickly and chilling the immigrant community. The Philadelphia Inquirer first reported the cancellation. El Carnaval de Puebla, which saw about 15,000 spectators from across the US and Mexico in 2024, has been held in April for the past 18 years. But the community “does not feel safe” attending a large gathering this year, organizer Olga Renteria said. People in the community, regardless of if they have legal status or are undocumented, are afraid that ICE will detain people in the crowd, she told CNN. “We are not going to take a chance,” Renteria said. “Everyone is being cautious, no celebrating, no big gatherings.”
