Statement from Congressman García on Anti-Immigrant and Anti-Muslim Vandalism in Little Village
CHICAGO -Over the weekend, hateful graffiti-including swastikas and anti-immigrant messages-was scrawled across small businesses, a public mural, non-profit organizations, and the office of State Senator Celina Villanueva in Little Village-my neighborhood, and the heart of our immigrant community.
"These are not random acts. They were calculated attempts to spread fear, intimidate, and divide. And they failed.
"I've lived in Little Village for over 50 years. This community raised me. The people targeted by this hate are not just constituents-they are my neighbors and my family. We know how to stand up for each other, and we won't back down now.
"There is no place for hate or racism in our communities. We will confront those who want to intimidate and divide us with courage, and we will continue working for justice, supporting our immigrant friends and neighbors. Hate has no place in Little Village. And it never will."
