Midway Chamber of Commerce's official Statement on ICE Out January 23
The Midway Chamber is supportive of organizations choosing to close on January 23 and for those who remain open. We believe in the ICE Out cause and call for a stop to the disruptive force used by federal agents in our community. We also recognize the need for many employees to continue to make a paycheck, and the hardships they face if they miss a day of work. For many businesses, they have been supportive of immigrant communities and mean no disrespect by remaining open. We especially ask everyone to remain respectful of our local businesses in their decisions as we all try to do what’s best for our people.

The Midway Chamber of Commerce believes are essential to our communities and we stand with employees, employers, and neighbors as they confront unreasonably aggressive enforcement tactics of federal immigration enforcement agencies. We urge business owners to educate themselves and their employees about their rights and stand ready to assist in that effort.
