“I wanted so badly to find the words to unite us, and by extension all U.S. Latinos,” Jean Guerrero writes. “But our unity had always been a fiction. In our desperation to be seen and heard, many of us had embraced a palatable theater of Latinidad.” Read: nyti.ms/3WxwuoA

"The Democratic Party’s failure was to speak to that fiction, our homogeneous Latinidad, while treating us unequally. Even as its politicians and pundits claimed that Latinos are not a monolith, they turned us into an amorphous brown bloc." — Jean Guerrero nytimes.com/2025/01/28/opi…

Jean Guerrero this is honestly the best analysis of what it's like to be latino and american that i have read in years. the tension between family, the pain of seeing your father wooed by right-wing grifters and youtubers — i could have written it myself.

So glad I read this today, by Jean Guerrero The better title is "How I Crossed the Border Back to Myself," as it's about much more than "Trumpism." You can read it for free without a subscription. nytimes.com/2025/01/28/opi…

If you want to understand the variations and inherent contradictions of being Latino or Hispanic in America you should read Jean Guerrero NYT opinion piece. All that connects us is languages and geography. We aren't a monolith. #LatinAmerica #immigration nytimes.com/2025/01/28/opi…

#Latinos include people who identify as white, Black, Indigenous, Asian & mixed We have citizenship, green cards & no status. We vote in all kinds of inexplicable ways. What if we were to redefine Latinidad in terms of our latent multitudes? By Jean Guerrero nytimes.com/2025/01/28/opi…



Jean Guerrero I wrote all about the life of Miller for the new issue of The Nation. The world that produced him is uncannily familiar to me, a fellow PMC millennial Reform Jew from a blue enclave. He is not typical of his background, but nonetheless he was enabled by it thenation.com/article/politi…

This book about the hateful Stephen Miller is superb -- and more relevant now than even when it appeared in 2020. Miller has hated immigrants since he was a teenager. Thanks to Jean Guerrero for writing it. Arturo Dominguez 🇨🇺🇺🇸 Pablo ManrĂquez Aaron Reichlin-Melnick thenation.com/article/politi…

Many thanks to Chula Vistan Jean Guerrero for speaking to us #SanDiego tonight about the challenges we’re facing under this unjust, authoritarian regime


.Jean Guerrero: Where is the Democratic version of Stephen Miller? Me: 🙋🏻‍♂️‼️ Seriously - blown away by this talk. Democrats cannot run away from immigration.



Journalist Jean Guerrero says the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles show "people of all races and backgrounds are putting their bodies on the line to protect their friends, their neighbors, their family members from these arrests — and it is a beautiful thing to see."

"This is not about cracking down on crime," journalist Jean Guerrero says of the Trump administration's show of force in Los Angeles. "They're running a mafia state that scapegoats immigrants as a pretext for the subjugation of us all."

A daughter sobs "¡Te quiero, papa!" as ICE hauls her father away in a now-viral TikTok. Trump wants fire in the streets to distract from stories like hers. It’s these human stories that threaten his power. My new New York Times Opinion piece: nytimes.com/2025/06/13/opi…
