Maria Hinojosa, a Mexican-American journalist and the founder of Futuro Media, made a comparison between Anne Frank and Latino children, and ICE and nazis on MSNBC’s The Weekend. She stated that some Latino children are afraid of “abduction and death” in a similar way that Anne Frank was, per Fox. Hinojosa doubled down on her comments, saying, “I posted, actually, right after that first day on the ground in Chicago, I posted about the fact that there are little Anne Franks, right? Anne Frank, in Chicago, her name is Anita Franco, and she is terrified.”
Hinojosa’s comments came during a discussion with co-host Eugene Daniels, who asked about the “psychological toll” of the Trump administration’s policies on Latino and Black communities. Anne Frank, a Jewish teenager who was killed during the Holocaust, is a well-known victim of the Nazi regime, and her diary is required reading in many American schools.
