Immigration Protests Held in Dallas & Outside Krome Detention Center in Florida

HeadlineMar 31, 2025

A number of immigration-related protests took place nationwide this weekend. In Florida, hundreds protested outside the Krome Detention Center, condemning what they described as “inhumane conditions” at the prison. Two men have died at Krome over the past two months. Meanwhile, thousands of protesters marched in Dallas, Texas, against Trump’s immigration policies. Hector Flores is president of the League of United Latin American Citizens.

Hector Flores: “We Latinos are the backbone of this great state. We build the buildings. We paint the murals. We cook the meals from every culture in every corner of this country. We are the architects, the artisans, the chefs, the caregivers, the teachers, the scientists. Look around you. Look at this wonderful multitude that are here. We all do the different work that has to be done in this country, that makes America great.”
