In 1992, police brutality became the focus of a national movement after Los Angeles police officers were found &#8220;not guilty&#8221; in the videotaped beating of Rodney King. It was at that time that Uni\u00f3n del Barrio established our first Community Patrol in San Diego as our answer to the colonial attacks against the Mexicano-Raza working class, specifically the deployment of various militarized police forces against our communities.<\/p>\n<div>Teams of Uni\u00f3n de Barrio and Raza Rights Coalition members were organized into vehicular and foot patrols and deployed across various San Diego barrios to document police and migra brutality, and to inform community residents about their rights. These teams carried bullhorns, informational flyers, and, in the early 1990s, a new consumer technology: full-size portable VHS cameras.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_5248\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5248\" class=\"wp-image-5248 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/uniondelbarrio.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1992_COMMUNITYPatrols-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"244\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-5248\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A UdB compa on a 1992 foot patrol in San Diego, at the corner of Imperial Ave and 25th St.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In 2003, our Community Patrols once again became national news when Border Patrol agents began to conduct enforcement operations on San Diego public transportation, particularly the trolley that connects the South Bay San Diego to areas north of the 8 freeway. In response to these attacks against Raza working class people, Uni\u00f3n del Barrio concentrated our patrols around trolley stations from San Ysidro to downtown SD. During one of these patrols near SD City College, a leading member of Uni\u00f3n del Barrio had his camera smashed and was violently detained by a Border Patrol supervisor. After a massive protest, our compa was released, and Border Patrol operations on public transportation were halted.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5255\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uniondelbarrio.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2003UdBfilmingBPSDtrolley.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5255\" class=\"wp-image-5255 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/uniondelbarrio.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2003UdBfilmingBPSDtrolley-300x288.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uniondelbarrio.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2003UdBfilmingBPSDtrolley-300x288.png 300w, https:\/\/uniondelbarrio.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2003UdBfilmingBPSDtrolley-1024x984.png 1024w, https:\/\/uniondelbarrio.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2003UdBfilmingBPSDtrolley-768x738.png 768w, https:\/\/uniondelbarrio.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2003UdBfilmingBPSDtrolley-1536x1476.png 1536w, https:\/\/uniondelbarrio.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2003UdBfilmingBPSDtrolley.png 1634w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5255\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">2003 &#8211; UdB compa filming a Border Patrol operation on the San Diego trolley.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Today, the Community Patrols continue as a means of building community-based resistance to ICE\/migra attacks.
