Texas Rangers baseball team investigating harassment of Latino family

A Latino family said they were harassed at a Texas Rangers game by a fan who said President Trump should “hurry up and build the wall” at Globe Live Park in Arlington, Texas last Saturday — the same day as the mass shooting in El Paso, Texas left 22 people dead, most of them Latinos.

According to a Facebook post from Jessica Romero, she and her family were taking a picture in their stadium seats when they heard a man say “let me see how I can f-ck up their pic.”

Romero didn’t realize that the man was referring to her and her family until she discovered that he lifted his middle finger in the background of their picture.

“He made it perfectly clear during the second inning that he is not a fan of Hispanics,” Romero wrote in her post, which has since received more than 100,000 reactions and has been shared more than 76,000 times. “And he just so happened to have a Hispanic family [us] sitting in front of him and another one sitting directly behind him.”

As the innings wore on, the man’s comments became increasingly hostile while he expressed his disdain for Latinos, Romero said.

“During the second inning the little boy behind him who looked to be about Nomar’s [her son] age kicked the back of his chair. And for the next three innings I had to hear him complain about all the illegal immigrants that were surrounding him at the game,” Romero wrote. “That he should kick little Speedy Gonzalez all the way back to Mexico for kicking his seat. That Trump needs to hurry and build the wall and send all these illegals back so they won’t be kicking his seat.”
