There have been a few protests of Donald Trump‘s immigration positions and proposals at the 
Doral Resort and Spa he owns. Now, it’s his side’s turn to picket.
Latinas Por Trump — “a 100% volunteer coalition of Latina influencers that networks and stays true to the promises created by the Trump campaign and the needs of Hispanics” — is calling on local supporters of the Republican presidential candidate to bring their “homemade signs” and join a protest of the Univision television station, also in Doral.
“Our mission is to inform and educate the public with the truth from now until the elections in November,” said a statement. “We plan to reinforce the values, needs and importance of Latinos/Hispanics in MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Yes, the statement yelled with all caps. They really take that “staying true” to the Trump campaign seriously. Either that or they did it because they sent the press release on #ALLCAPSTHURSDAY.

“This is a peaceful protest to call attention to the liberal media 
bias especially with regards to the Spanish networks like Univision. #LatinasPorTrump is tired of responding to the lies perpetuated by the liberal media and people like #MrJorgeRamos.”
Univision star anchor Jorge Ramos, if you remember, is the national Spanish-language journalist who first challenged Trump and got into a little tussle with him last year after Trump cut him off mid-sentence in a press conference. Seemed The Donald didn’t like the question about, you guessed it, his immigration proposals. And he had Ramos thrown out of the press conference. Reminds me of someone in Hialeah.
Ramos has not let up the heat, however, staying critical of Trump. Most recently, he got into a tweet rant ripping Mexico President Enrique Peña Nieto on Wednesday after the president met with Trump. Clearly upset that Trump has not apologized for his comments Mexicans being all criminals — and, specifically, rapists — Ramos called Peña Nieto’s attitude a “weak and shy response.”
“What a poor, lukewarm and fearful answer from @epn when facing Trump. Where is the indignation with Trump’s insults,” said one tweet.
That’s the kind of thing that rubs the Latinas the wrong way.
“We are hosting this protest and sign-waving event to once again show that the liberal media does not represent the millions of Legal Immigrant Latinos in this country,” read the statement. “The Latino community has been fed lies since Donald J. Trump announced his candidacy last June.
“Latinos are extremely important to this election especially in key swing states like Florida and we plan to make sure they come out in support of Donald J Trump for President. This event will emphasize the fact that #JorgeRamos and #Univision do not represent all Latinos,” it said.
Well, neither do Latinas for Trump. Let’s agree on that.
The protest will not be in front of the Univision studios on Northwest 41st Street but at Doral Central Park, 3000 NW 87th Ave., several blocks away. There’s plenty of parking, sure. But do Latinas hope Univision execs drive by on their way home from work?
Interestingly enough, it is scheduled from 5 to 7 p.m. — during the news show.
