Photos: Election reaction in the Latino community

Mike de la Pena, 45, left, and Sophia Sanchez, 31, who are engaged, at Primera Taza Coffee House on Wednesday morning. The couple had voted, grudgingly, they said, for Clinton. They stopped looking at the election results around 9 pm. They knew Trump was going to win. From the get-go, Sanchez said, it looked like Trump was winning. But Sanchez said she held out for the swing states and the West Coast. “As time went by I could see that it was just red, red, red, and my hopes were kind of fading away,” Sanchez said.

I think it took everybody by surprise. And I think that’s pretty clear with the atmosphere of today in the community,” he said. “It’s quiet. People don’t seem so cheerful. I think many people are disappointed that Hillary lost.”

Graciela Ibarra, 50, a cosmetologist, stands Wednesday morning at a beauty salon along 1st Street in Boyle Heights. Ibarra, an East L.A. resident, had voted for Clinton, thinking that her win would mean something beautiful for the country. But Tuesday night, as she watched the election results, she realized Trump was going to win. She went to bed at 10 pm, long before Trump’s speech, with a feeling of sadness.

Monica Perez, 39, woke up at 4:30 a.m. Wednesday morning, after sending her daughter to bed and going to bed herself around 9 p.m., before the results were in. “I wasn’t surprised so much, because I think there’s more of them than there is of us,” she said, as she held her 7-month-old granddaughter, Peyton Keli’iho’omalu, near Mariachi Plaza. “There’s just more people who are bigots and who are racist. It’s an example of what this country is really made out of, and it’s really scary.”
