Protests against Trump administration policies have blossomed across major U.S. cities, bringing together hundreds of participants and prominently featuring the Mexican flag. This has sparked a renewed debate on whether such displays aid or hinder the cause against xenophobia. Critics, particularly from right-leaning media, argue that showcasing foreign flags undermines the message, while many protestors, including American citizens of Latino descent, defend their heritage amidst fears of raids on undocumented immigrants. Social media has played a crucial role in organizing these protests, calling for a safe space for vulnerable populations.
Do you really think that waving thousands of flags of Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador or Venezuela in the middle of U.S. cities is going to change public opinion in favor of our people?
The calls for the marches, spread and made viral on social media, asked undocumented immigrants to stay home so as not to risk being arrested in a mass raid.
