US President Donald Trump has made changes to immigration matters, which has led to mass deportations, which has also resulted in the imposition of tariffs, actions that affect the US community, which is why they have taken to the streets in different parts of the country to protest against these actions.
These samples are added to the actions that have been carried out against Donald Trump's impositions, including the issue of tariffs, mentioned journalist Manuel Ortiz during the program Peninsula 360, in Hecho en California with Marcos Gutierrez.
“The participation of young people at this time is very important and is related to the issue of tariffs, because it is clear that it is not the only cause; however, the massive protests that have been taking place and the participation of young people have had an effect on the decision to extend the deadline for the imposition of tariffs by one month,” said Ortiz.
Donald Trump imposed a 25 percent tariff on Mexico on February 1. By the third day, the Mexican president and the Trump administration reached an agreement to pause the imposition for a month and established a working group on trade and security, committing to reinforce the northern border with 10,000 members of the National Guard to prevent drug and arms trafficking. This working group began to mobilize today, February 4.
During the radio program, Gerardo Ortiz spoke about the demonstration and the movement that was generated this Monday, February 3, with the call for “A day without immigrants,” a call that was mobilized through social networks, asking that they carry out activities for one day in their jobs, schools, businesses and all unnecessary activities, this in order to generate an economic impact in the country.
During his participation in the movement, Gerardo Ortiz noticed the absence of people in the streets, as well as Latino businesses closed in support of the day without immigrants; in addition to this, a group of people took to the streets to demand their rights.
For his part, the announcer Marcos Guitierrez recognized the participation of the young people who are more involved, as they go out into the streets to give a voice to those who do not have one, representing parents, women, children and adults.
Finally, an isolated case was mentioned, as during a demonstration an American flag was burned in protest, however, during the broadcast a call was made not to take these actions, to demonstrate with respect and responsibility above all.
