Summary
Texas Republican Valentina Gomez sparked outrage after releasing a video proposing public executions of undocumented immigrants who commit violent crimes, claiming it would act as a deterrent.
The video, shared on X, simulated Gomez shooting a hooded dummy representing an undocumented migrant.
Her comments followed the arrest of a Guatemalan immigrant for a subway murder in New York.
Known for far-right provocations, Gomez’s remarks drew sharp criticism from political figures and activists, with some praising her stance while others condemned it as hateful and extreme.
I mean it might not be too relevant (as I know the majority of the Hispanics youre referring to aren’t Spanish per se), but I’d like to remind people that Spain was a fascist dictatorship up until 1975, when it became a democracy.
I’m sure they at least produce media that’s enjoyed in other Spanish speaking countries idk but nonetheless just a thought I had

(It’s really not related to the thing here the right wing propaganda Hispanics in America are being subjected to probably isn’t from Francoist Spain
Spain didn’t exactly just become a democracy after Franco’s death in '75, things were very iffy well into the eighties, or at least until they joined NATO in '82. The military even attempted a coup in '81.
Thanks for the elaboration.
I just quoted a Wikipedia generalisation.
I’m not too well versed in Spanish history
