Whoever is the target of a particular sticky type of stereotype, particularly a fear-inducing one, you'll see that particular group spike, says hate crime expert Brian Levin. Overall hate-crime incidents fell 11% in 2025 from the previous year, but anti-Latino hate crimes rose 18% to a record 1,014 incidents.
On Ash Wednesday, 2026, two Roman Catholic priests and a religious sister entered an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview, Illinois, to celebrate Mass with detainees inside.

Talarico won the county with nearly twice the votes Crockett received and more than three times what Sen. John Cornyn got in topping Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the county's GOP primary.
