Latino artwork at NBA arena 'almost a middle finger' to Trump, county supervisor says

The Sacramento Bee reports:

Federal immigration agents swept across Northern California in recent days, snatching up dozens of undocumented immigrants. The nation's top immigration cop has repeatedly attacked sanctuary cities like Sacramento. President Donald Trump recently called California a "disgrace" that would turn into "a crime nest" if he pulled immigration agents from the state.

Meanwhile, in downtown Sacramento, a big, colorful mural is about to be unveiled inside Golden 1 Center. It's the creation of the Royal Chicano Air Force, among the city's most cherished Latino activist art collectives.

The timing of the mural's installation isn't lost on one of the men responsible for its unveiling.

"It's almost a middle finger to the administration," said Sacramento County Supervisor Phil Serna, whose father, former Mayor Joe Serna, Jr., was a member of the RCAF. "And I think it can serve to inspire a new generation of artists who embrace the intersection of expression and activism."
