Candace Sublett and Marisela Aramino, members of the Tarrant County Democratic Party in Texas, are issuing a stern warning as President Donald Trump orders crackdowns on illegal immigration … noting recent mass arrests could have a dire ripple effect.
The women, who’ve coordinated rallies in Texas against ICE’s increase in raids, tell TMZ … there’s a misconception about who is being targeted, explaining it’s not just blue-collar laborers being arrested, but key economy contributors, too — including teachers, doctors, bank tellers, and engineers.

She adds … “We have the highest immigrant population in our county. Our economy locally will fall apart … That’s a reality. That’s the understanding of how much has been put into this community.”
