Latino groups in Colorado condemned U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert’s costume at a Halloween party over the weekend, calling it racist and cruel, according to Colorado Newsline.
Boebert, a Republican who represents Colorado’s 4th Congressional District, dressed in a costume meant to be a Mexican woman, complete with sombrero and sign that mocked a Spanish accent and read “Mexican Word of the Day: JUICY. Tell Me If Juicy ICE coming.”
A person with her appeared to be dressed as a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer. A photo of the costume went viral on X over the weekend.
The Colorado Democratic Latino Caucus called it a “deeply racist caricature of our community.”
