New take on mass deportations shows Californians caught in raids decades apart

A new exhibit at the California Museum in Sacramento, titled "Help Wanted/Now Leave," documents America's largest-ever deportation campaign—the 1954-55 Eisenhower-era deportations targeting Latinos. The museum is drawing comparisons between this historical mass deportation and President Donald Trump’s current crackdown on unauthorized immigrants. The exhibit features testimonies from people deported in the past alongside those detained recently.
