The Freeze Latino Movement is gaining traction on social media, advocating a boycott of major American companies in response to mass deportations under the Trump administration and ICE operations. Videos shared online capture symbolic acts of rejection, including a viral clip where a family pours Coca-Cola down the drain as a protest against the company’s perceived complicity.

The movement calls for Latino and Latina consumers to “hold the line” by refraining from spending money on American products and instead supporting goods made in Mexico or other Latin American countries. Companies targeted by the boycott include Coca-Cola, Walmart, McDonald’s, Starbucks, Tesla, and Home Depot.

This form of economic activism highlights the frustration among Latino communities, who seek to leverage their significant consumer power to push back against policies they view as harmful. By promoting alternative products and humorously addressing serious issues, Freeze Latino Movement aims to make a “big impact” while fostering solidarity. It remains to be seen how these efforts will affect the targeted brands and broader conversations about immigration and corporate responsibility.
