💨 Abstract

In Los Angeles, protests against immigration raids feature Mexican and other Latin American flags, sparking debate. Some view these flags as anti-American, while others see them as expressions of cultural pride and solidarity. Experts note that such displays have historically highlighted marginalized groups' struggles. Critics like Rep. Adam Kinzinger urge protesters to use American flags instead, while Latino activists argue that the Mexican flag represents their heritage and pre-U.S. presence in the region.
