Protesters in East Los Angeles Confront Clinton Again – This Time Over Immigration

FEATURING NANCY ZUNIGA – Democratic candidates for President, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton, are crisscrossing the prized state of California in the lead up to the June 7th primary election. In two stops at the heavily Latino, low-income area of East Los Angeles, Clinton has been met by as many protesters as supporters. On May 5th, demonstrators lined the outside of her event castigating her record on immigration and other issues. But at that event, she set herself apart from the presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump for wanting to build a massive wall on the US-Mexico border. This week activists confronted Clinton in East LA once more. The Human Rights Alliance for Child Refugees and Families organized a protest against Clinton’s record on supporting the coup in Honduras that unleashed a wave of desperate refugees, and her subsequent hardline on deporting women and children back to the violent Central American nation. The Department of Homeland Security on May 12th announced a wave of deportations aimed at Central American refugees.
