In this episode, we uncover the dark truth behind Operation Wetback (1954) — a massive and brutal deportation campaign carried out by the U.S. government that targeted over a million Mexican immigrants and even U.S. citizens of Mexican descent. We dive into the historical context, the racial profiling, the inhumane conditions, and the lasting impact it had on Latino communities across the country. This is a story the history books often skip — but one we must never forget.
