intensely frustrating, but I think pretty much beyond question that the Spanish-language info environment was *completely* fucked in 2024
![Javier, a Panamanian from Phoenix who works in furniture delivery, also said he regrets his vote for Trump because he sees the Latino community living in fear of deportations.
“We all knew this was on Trump’s agenda but we thought it was going to be people committing crimes, who were going to deserve [deportation],” he said. “But nowadays it seems to be out of control, with news reports of many people paying the price of being deported unnecessarily.”
Javier also mentioned the case of Abrego Garcia as having an effect on him. Even though many of the men were critical of news organizations for perceived bias, they said they had all heard of the man wrongly shipped to El Salvador.
One of the men who said he regretted voting for Trump, Danny, a teacher in Phoenix, said the administration was “not being smart with how they’re deporting people.” In the case of Abrego Garcia, he said, “someone taken by mistake—it changes someone’s life forever.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:p5yoii26kayabauhkym3vtms/bafkreig2jktfuq7afqk3wkzsjaqpllqn5ug4bdsu3zn5pjoq33elubvdm4@jpeg)
