Fort Worth (WBAP/KLIF) – An Hispanic community in Fort Worth is reacting to an anti-immigration banner that was hung from a busy Fort Worth Bridge recently.
According to the Star-telegram, the banners read “Deport them all.” It had been hung from the Morningside Bridge on I-35, which is in a predominately Hispanic area.
A group of Hispanic men on their way to work Tuesday took the banner down.
The grassroots organization United Fort Worth posted a video of their reaction to the banner.
One man said, that what he saw in the banner was “hate,” Another man said, This is a pretty clear message that they don’t want us here, but we’re not going to go anywhere […] this is our city.”
WATCH:
Meantime, two days after the banner was spotted, fliers were posted around the city with statements such as “Reclaim America” and “Better dead than Red” above a Communist symbol. The flyers were posted by the group PatriotFront.US.
Patriot Front is a Texas-based American white supremacist, neo-Nazi, neo-fascist group. Part of the broader alt-right movement, the group split off from Vanguard America in August 2017 due to the aftermath of the Unite the Right rally.~ Wikipedia
