Se Repite De Vuelta
Las escenas que vemos en redes sociales de agentes federales persiguiendo a inmigrantes en Los Ángeles evocan, para algunos, un capítulo vergonzoso de la historia estadounidense.
Hace casi 100 años más de un millón de personas de origen mexicano, inclusive ciudadanos estadounidenses, fueron expulsados a México.
Scapegoating At The Highest Levels
Scapegoating at the highest levels attacking our immigrant communities to hide the systemic reasons for why immigrants come here, blaming them for the state of the economy, and to hide the tremendous profits made by multinational corporations here and abroad from their labor. We know who the real criminals are – and it is not our hard-working immigrant families. As the studies in this article show: “About 68% of those had no criminal convictions and an additional 57% had never been charged with a crime.”
LLiberan A Tres Jornaleros Arrestados En Redada De Pomona
Liberan a tres jornaleros arrestados en redada de Pomona en abril pasado. Fueron defendidos probono por la clínica de derechos de los inmigrantes de la Universidad del Sur de California y las fianzas pagadas con donativos de la comunidad. Los jornaleros no están solos. Three day laborers arrested in a Pomona raid last April have been released. They were defended pro bono by the University of Southern California Immigrant Rights Clinic, and their bond was paid with community donations. The day laborers are not alone.

Non-Violent Direct Action Training in Los Angeles
With thousands at the Non-Violent Direct Action Training in Los Angeles! Moved by the speakers, workshops, and calls to action to “build power on the ground” (such as summer of resistance, boycott of Home Depot, and building coalitions between labor, immigrant rights, faith-based, multi-racial, intersectional, LGBTQ, and community- based organizations).
Cuando el racismo de EEUU deportó a más de un millón de mexicanos, inclusive a sus propios ciudadanos
Isais Alvarado, reportero de Univisión, tomo mi idea en cuenta de hacer un reportaje sobre la Repatriacion de miles Mexicanos en los 1930’s – dandoles la culpa, como ahora, por el crisis economico. Muy similar a esos tiempos, ahora la administracion de Trump le da la culpa a los inmigrantes – usandolos como chivo expiatorios – por un crisis económico para dividir nuestras comunidades y nuestros movimientos.
Isaias Alvarado, Univisión reporter, as part of an interview on the ICE raids occurring in L. A., took up my idea of doing a segment on the Repatriation of Mexican families in the 1930’s – who were used as scapegoats for the depression. Very similar to those times, the Trump administration is covering up an increasing federal debt and economic crisis – by placing the blame on our immigrant communities – and advancing all means of unjust enforcement to divide our communities and movements.

Cuando el racismo de EEUU deportó a más de un millón de mexicanos, inclusive a sus propios ciudadanos
Durante la llamada Repatriación Mexicana, hace casi 100 años, más de un millón de personas de origen mexicano, inclusive estadounidenses, fueron expulsadas al vecino país. Los acusaron de robar empleos y ser una carga pública, cuando EEUU padecía una profunda crisis económica. Expertos creen…

Justice Wears No Mask
Supporting a Press conference today in front of the federal building in L A by a Network of pro-immigrant organizations, Committee for Autonomous Social Action, calling for: a stop to the inhumane kidnappings by masked enforcers, which have been shown to include “masked-unidentified-bounty-hunter” types in our immigrant communities; an end to the private-for-profit prison system; and an unmasking of how the Trump administration is using the scapegoating of immigrants to cover-up systemic economic problems (to divide our communities and movements, and to deter our potential political power).
