Washington immigrants keep barbacoa tradition alive despite deportation fears

Original: WA immigrants continue traditional Barbacoa, despite looming threats of deportation

Immigrants in Washington state are continuing the traditional practice of making barbacoa, the slow-cooked meat dish rooted in Mexican culinary heritage, even as heightened immigration enforcement raises the threat of deportation. For many, cooking the dish is a way to preserve culture and community ties, but it increasingly means taking risks while navigating fear of detention and removal.

Why now: Immigration enforcement concerns are pushing immigrant communities to weigh cultural traditions against personal safety.
