A man looks at a new interactive mural of deported veterans at the Playas de Tijuana beach border wall, ''The Deported Veterans Diaspora,'' in Tijuana, Mexico, on September 6, 2024. This mural is part of a larger project by Lizbeth De La Cruz Santana, an assistant professor in the department of Black and Latino Studies at Baruch College in New York City, 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.
