El alma de una nación

Esta semana, las imágenes de redadas, protestas y la militarización de barrios enteros en Los Ángeles —y en otras ciudades de Estados Unidos— nos han removido las entrañas.

Demonstrators rally against US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and call for the release of union leader David Huerta, President of SEIU California and SEIU-USWW, who was arrested on June 6 during federal immigration operations, at Gloria Molina Grand Park in Los Angeles, on June 9, 2025. Police ordered the public to disperse from downtown Los Angeles on June 8 after further unrest, with cars torched and security forces firing tear gas at protesters, in the wake of US President Donald Trump's deployment of National Guard troops to America's second-biggest city. Protests in Los Angeles, home to a large Latino population, broke out on June 6, triggered by immigration raids that resulted in dozens of arrests of what authorities say are illegal migrants and gang members.

Las sirenas suenan como ecos de un miedo que creíamos haber superado. Pero no, el miedo regresa cuando olvidamos que detrás de cada estadística migratoria hay un rostro, una historia, una familia.

Muchos de los que hoy son perseguidos como si fueran amenazas son, en realidad, los mismos que construyen este país con sus manos, su sudor y su determinación. Yo mismo soy parte de esa historia. Llegué a Estados Unidos con una maleta cargada de sueños, con ganas de aportar, de trabajar con dignidad y construir un presente mejor. Como millones lo han hecho.
