THIS WEEK ON LATINOPIA 6.13.25

June 13, 2025 by wpengine

THIS WEEK ON LATINOPIA:  ALBERTO CARVALHO SPEAKS OUT ON PROTECTING CHILDREN FROM ICE ATTACKS, BOBBI MURRAY ON YOUR PROTEST RIGHTS, RICARDO ROMO’S TEJANO REPORT ON NEW YORK LATINO/A ARTISTS  AND  MIS PENSAMIENTOS WITH ALFREDO SANTOS.

This was the week of the Marine invasion of Los Angeles! When street disturbances broke out in downtown Los Angeles in response to ICE immigration sweeps, although well contained by local Los Angeles police authorities, President Trump saw fit to mobilize the California National Guard. This without the proper request of Governor Gavin Newsom as is customary and required by law. Trump’s ICE enforcers swept through work places in pursuit of people not here legally causing panic in Latino communities and causing Governor Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass to call out Trump for his hysterical over-the-top response. In response to threats that ICE agents might target schools on graduation day, Los Angeles Superintendent of Schools Alberto Carvalho declared that ICE agents would not trample on the rights of students on his watch. Check out Carvalho’s fiery public speech defending the civil rights of students in the Los Angeles Unified School District.

This week-end to coincide with Donald Trump’s military parade Americans across the national will be taking to the streets in a No Kings National Day of Defiance. Bobbi Murray reports on what your legal rights are if you decide to protest on Saturday, June 14th.

Ricardo Romo’s Tejano Report this week looks at the art work of New York based artists Marta Sánchez , Eva Marengo Sánchez , and Ethel Shipton whose works are currently on exhibit at the Ruiz Healy Gallery. As always Ricardo’s insightful commentary provides nuance and insight into these artists and their works.

And last but not least Alfredo Santos returns with his Mis Pensamientos blog. This week he reminds us that the deployment of Marines to Los Angeles, unheard of since the 1960s, is a reminder that it was the vote of the American people that has empowered Donald Trump to push the envelope of the abuse of civil authorities with his challenges to the U.S. Constitution. Santos reminds us that we should remember this when its our turn comes to vote again in 2028.

Wish this week could be happier at Latinopia. But it is gratifying to see people standing up for their civil rights.

Asi se hace!
