| October 14, 2022 | Ricardo Tovar UC Santa Cruz has acknowledged that a new student's Mexican flag was burned while their family was visiting with them during their move-in weekend. The
Mexican, Chicanx, and Latinx communities held protests all week to get the school to acknowledge and do something about what they feel is a hate crime.

| 3/14/2018 | Hailey Branson-Potts A small fracas broke out at the pro-Trump gathering in Otay Mesa on Tuesday after a protester dropped a Mexican flag from a car. The
flag was torn to shreds and a man in a Trump hat and shirt threatened to burn it. “They burn our flag in our country, burn theirs in ours!” another man shouted. Others in the crowd stopped the man from burning it and calmed him down, saying it sent the wrong message.
