Christian Saravia started his small business empire in Hempstead a decade ago by selling shoes out of his car. Within a few years, he opened a shoe store catering to Latino workers, and by last year a furniture store next door. Today, the Salvadoran immigrant and U.S. citizen is in danger of losing it all. The Trump administration’s deportation crackdown has decimated business for Saravia and many others in Hempstead, especially over the last six months as the raids escalated, according to business owners, community leaders and officials. More on the impact of ICE raids on Hempstead is at the link in bio. - - #longislandny #nassaucountyny #hempsteadny #immigration #trumpadministration
