Mexicans

Trump officials deported a group of Mexicans despite concerns regarding torture risk. Immigration authorities utilized a rare authority to carry out the deportation. This action took place even though their removal had previously been blocked over fears that they would face torture if returned.

On August 3, 2019, a gunman opened fire at a Walmart store in El Paso, Texas, killing 23 people. The attacker later stated he targeted 'Mexicans' and detailed his plan in an online screed before the attack.

Labor activist Dolores Huerta criticized President Trump for his remarks about Mexicans, stating he 'does not know history.' She urged Latinos in California, Texas, and other states to advocate for change.
