Let’s get it right: what will happen when Trump and his unlawful government appointees are powerless in jail? Can MAGA survive and continue to operate in a legal system without breaking the law? The U.S. Constitution says, “No way,” and see you in a real court of law. Your day will come. This is the USA, not Trump’s MAGA country, as they wished.
Trump sends his uneducated, untrained, and unlawfully appointed agents to go out and arrest Latinos simply for being brown-skinned. These agents act in a violent, rude, and illegal manner when arresting Latino U.S. citizens, as if they were capturing animals. Now, when they try to arrest a family member for no reason and without a court order, the family member tries to explain to the fake agent that the person is a U.S. citizen. That person is also arrested for interfering with an illegal arrest. This is not the America that thousands of Chicanos and Latinos have fought for, giving their lives to protect our freedom and civil rights.
Now, Trump’s MAGA racists and un-American white supremacists are destroying the USA. Latinos are not leaving. If MAGA has any knowledge of history, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado were stolen from Mexico by the U.S. government in 1846, under orders of a racist politician named Polk in Washington, D.C., who had no respect or empathy for Mexicans or Native Americans. We are home.
Almost 180 years later comes another racist politician named Trump, with his army of white supremacists, who are now committing illegal raids all over the country. Yes, the Mexicans and Latinos who do all the hard physical work—and do it like no one else can—and who are being arrested, are U.S. citizens. This is so illegal.
Those city elected officials and community groups who support the raids—separating families and causing significant financial losses and great pain to thousands—will be remembered on Election Day. Our thanks go to the many mayors who have stood up against ICE and are doing all they can to protect the people’s rights by not allowing their local police to carry out ICE operations.
Those cities that do support ICE, effectively selling out their local police to the federal government for millions of taxpayers’ dollars, are a shame to this great country. What a bunch of weak leaders, many elected by Latino voters.
To all the brown- and black-uneducated, disrespectful people who have no respect for their community and think they are powerful with a fake badge, believing they can treat people like wild animals because Trump supports them—one day, you will face judgment in a court of law for violating civil rights, or before God when your number comes up. You have to be cold-blooded to do what Trump orders you to do for money. History will remember the traitors. With AI, no one gets away. How will you explain to your children that you became a traitor to your people for money? You are a shame.
The MAGA government, led by Steve Miller, his Project 2025 team, and his King Puppet Trump, cannot continue to exploit our country unlawfully and take away our rights. Latinos have learned to forgive, but we don’t forget who our friends are.
The best labor force in the world is Latinos, and hundreds of thousands are returning home to Mexico, leaving behind a dream turned into a nightmare by a racist government. However, with determination and a positive mindset, knowing we all live in a democratic nation, 65 million Latinos will continue to move forward, rebuilding the USA. We will once again survive a difficult period in history. We will not witness the fall of a mighty nation. The USA being built by Latinos will bounce back when Trump and MAGA are gone. Latinos will overcome, and God will lead the way.
Thanks to the businesses supporting Latino media during these times of political chaos. It is Latino media that people rely on to understand what’s happening and where to obtain support and services. When all is said and done, we will recognize our true friends—those who stand with the Latino population during these times of family separations and cruel arrests, as tens of thousands of families suffer.
There will be changes in how Latinos spend and invest their money. Juntos sí podemos. This was something that had to happen to clear the path for generations to come. It is helping to build a bridge to unite Latinos. We are a fearless power with faith.
Keep the faith.
