@entrujillo: Latinos working in surveillance is the result of growing up criminalized and surveilled. In under-resourced communities people are funneled into these industries and it’s by design. They want us to police each other. They want us trapped in jobs where we do the work of white supremacy. #latinostudies101 #tiktokuniversity #latinostiktok #ICE #BorderPatrol #Surveillance #PolicingOurOwn #criticalracetheory #Criminalization
I’d be a plumber, carpenter, electrician before ever becoming any type of cop if I didn’t go to college.

Closeness to power in hopes of not being perceived as “the bad ones” and end up enforcing the same oppression

My cousins friend is Mexican American and her parents are undocumented and live in her house. Her job is to drive people being deported to the US-MX border. She knows that if they were ever caught she’d be the one driving them back. Voted for dump

You are speaking facts, those that put on mask no why they have them on I also believe that majority of them are not offical police that’s why they wear mask cause once a new government comes in they will prosecute all those who had a hand in all this illegal deportations and arrest

It reminds me of Irish history with U.S. policing. An evolution from being seen as a criminal class to becoming a dominant force, particularly in cities like New York and Boston. Faced with limited opportunities in the mid-19th century, many Irish immigrants joined police...

Why so much corruption in Border Cities within local government. Study that, is it cultural?

They are being used. My son is 1/2 Latino. One thing I tried ro teach him was to not let “them” use him. “Them” being the government, rich people, white people, etc.
