US-Mexico Border: Interactive Deported Veterans Mural In Tijuana, Mexico

A new interactive mural of deported veterans, ''The Deported Veterans Diaspora,'' is at the Playas de Tijuana beach border wall on the Tijuana, Mexico side of the US-Mexico Border on September 6, 2024. The work, created by Lizbeth De La Cruz Santana, an assistant professor in the department of Black and Latino Studies at Baruch College in New York City, commemorates 16 war veterans who, after serving in the United States Army, were expelled from the country. The mural depicts the stories of veterans from different countries, such as Mexico, Guatemala, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and Jamaica, among others, who, after fighting on behalf of the United States, face deportation. This mural is part of a larger project by Santana, in collaboration with Humanizing Deportation, to document and make visible the stories of deported people. The mural installation in Tijuana is the third in a series that seeks to show the faces and experiences of deportees. Two additional murals are scheduled to open in New York and California in 2025. To offer greater reach to the stories, a QR code is placed next to the mural that allows access to the testimonies of the deported veterans in audiovisual format. (Photo by Carlos Moreno/NurPhoto)
