Echoes of Deportation Then and Now | California News
Description
A haunting new exhibit at the California Museum in Sacramento, “Help Wanted/Leave Now,” uncovers the chilling legacy of Operation Wetback — a 1950s mass deportation campaign that eerily mirrors today’s immigration enforcement. Through raw personal testimonies — from children deported decades ago to families targeted just last year — the exhibit exposes how fear-mongering rhetoric, racial profiling, and swift, brutal deportations remain shockingly familiar. Visitors confront the human cost: families torn apart, U.S. citizens sent packing, and agents echoing past slurs. This isn’t just history — it’s a mirror held up to our present, urging reflection on what justice truly means for immigrants today.
