Mark Gruenberg and John Wojcik at People’s World report the Texas State AFL-CIO and a wide-ranging coalition of Latino and Civil Rights Groups, including the National League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), are laying plans to aid and protect Brown-skinned and other people threatened with instant arrest, detention and deportation to Mexico from The Lone Star State.  Those plans include a massive LULAC education campaign, with materials telling people what their rights are - and who to contact - when and if they’re stopped by newly empowered law enforcers.  LULAC President Domingo Garcia told a zoom press conference the “Show Me Your Papers Law” turns local Police into Immigration Agents.  And they can pick up anyone who’s an “other,” including Brown, Black and Asian residents, both Immigrants and Citizens, and summarily deport them, he said.  “When you start scapegoating against the ‘other,’ you see terrible things like we saw in the thirties in Nazi Germany,” Garcia said.
