Summary
Federal immigration raids at two Madison laundromats sent shockwaves through the community, with surveillance footage revealing violent arrests—including a young man slammed to the floor and blood left on the floor—sparking fear and a sharp drop in business. Owner Roger Hansen, who’s run the laundromats for 30 years, says people come for laundry, not immigration enforcement, and urges everyone to know their rights. Local groups are warning residents to stay alert, while DHS confirms dozens were apprehended across Wisconsin. Hansen, whose own grandparents came seeking opportunity, vows to keep his doors open for all, especially the Hispanic community he’s long welcomed.
