Hundreds Protest Clinton’s Policies, Honduras Coup Role in East Los Angeles

HeadlineMay 06, 2016

Speaking Thursday in East Los Angeles, Clinton criticized Trump’s remarks on immigrants.

Hillary Clinton: “We also not only have to work for comprehensive immigration reform, we have to recognize that the kind of language coming from Donald Trump is hateful, and we need to repudiate it.”

Meanwhile, hundreds of protesters descended on East Los Angeles College to protest Clinton’s policies, including her remarks calling some youths “superpredators” in the 1990s and her role in the 2009 Honduras coup. One protester was escorted out of Clinton’s event while chanting, “She killed Berta,” a reference to environmentalist Berta Cáceres, who was assassinated in Honduras last month.

Protester: “You killed Berta! You killed Berta! You killed Berta! She killed Berta! She killed her!”

Before her death, Berta Cáceres herself had singled out Clinton for criticism over her role in the 2009 Honduras coup.
