I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mohammed. Mohammed is only 23 years old (which means this is the 5th war he has lived through in Gaza). He was a student at Palestine University prior to this and is now displaced with his family of 7, including 2 brothers and 2 sisters.

The raids tore apart families and communities, leaving lasting trauma for Mexican Americans who remained in the U.S. as well. Former California State Senator Martha M. Escutia has said that growing up in East Los Angeles, her immigrant grandfather never even walked to the corner grocery store without his passport for fear of being stopped and deported. Even after he became a naturalized citizen, he continued to carry it with him.

One of the issues is the ‘repatriation’ took place without any legal protections in place or any kind of due process,” says Kevin R. Johnson, a dean and professor of public interest law and Chicana/o studies at the University of California, Davis, School of Law. “So you could argue that all of them were unconstitutional, all of them were illegal because no modicum of process was followed.” Instead, local governments and officers with little knowledge of immigrants’ rights simply arrested people and put them on trucks, buses or trains bound for Mexico, regardless of whether they were documented immigrants or even native-born citizens. Deporters rounded up children and adults however they could, often raiding public places where they thought Mexican Americans hung out. In 1931, one Los Angeles raid rounded up more than 400 people at La Placita Park and deported them to Mexico.

Although there was no federal law or executive order authorizing the 1930s raids, President Herbert Hoover’s administration, which used the racially-coded slogan, “American jobs for real Americans,” implicitly approved of them. His secretary of labor, William Doak, also helped pass local laws and arrange agreements that prevented Mexican Americans from holding jobs. Some laws banned Mexican Americans from government employment, regardless of their citizenship status. Meanwhile, companies like Ford, U.S. Steel and the Southern Pacific Railroad agreed to lay off thousands of Mexican American workers.

The next president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, didn’t officially sanction “repatriation drives,” but neither did he suppress them. These raids continued under his administration and only really died out during World War II, when the U.S. began recruiting temporary Mexican workers through the Bracero Program because it needed wartime labor.

Not even a hundred years ago and i never knew to learn about it~ Up to 1.8 million people of Mexican descent—most of them American-born—were rounded up in informal raids and deported during the Great Depression in an effort to reserve jobs for white people

Palestinians doing victory signs inside a Red Cross bus. A woman on a red sweater, a young girl man standing behind her. The bus driver in his seat.

“Breaking: Israel has started releasing 9@ Palestinian prisoners, all women or minors, as part of the Gaza ceasefire deal with Hamas.” The photo is of Hamas fighters wielding guns triumphantly, a batch of kids making the same angry gestures in front of them, a violent photo much different than the actual released hostages.

The actual released Palestinian hostages versus the photo the Associated Press attached to their headline.

This is what “Zionist media” means.
