Since Donald Trump’s inauguration, anti-immigrant rhetoric has dominated the media narrative, overshadowing the significant protests occurring in Mexican communities. These defiant demonstrations, held largely in the outskirts of urban areas like San Mateo and Fort Bragg, challenge the portrayal of immigrants as passive victims. Marchers, many bearing both Mexican and U.S. flags, passionately affirm their place in society and demand acknowledgment of their contributions. This grassroots movement highlights the strength and pride of these communities in standing up against threats of deportation and exclusion.
These protests often take place not in urban centers, which typically receive more media attention, but in the Mexican barrios of the urban fringe.
Young Mexican women - some born here, some who came as children, and others who just arrived - carry U.S. flags, not out of false patriotism, but demanding recognition.
