During the Great Depression, federal and local authorities conducted mass deportations of Mexican Americans, including many U.S. citizens, to reduce competition for jobs. Approximately 400,000–500,000 people were forcibly removed, primarily from California, Texas, and the Southwest. These deportations targeted Latino communities based on race and nationality, reflecting systemic discrimination against Mexican Americans.
