By Zoila Palma: Young Latino voters, popularly known as “No Sabo” kids, turned out to vote in the November 3, 2026 U.S. midterm elections, with many using their first opportunity to participate in the democratic process to honor their immigrant roots and stand in solidarity with families affected by immigration enforcement.
Across social media, young voters shared emotional messages explaining who they were voting for and why.
Some dedicated their ballots to their parents and grandparents, recognizing the sacrifices they made as immigrants, while others said their votes were for people killed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and families separated through immigration enforcement operations.
Their messages reflected how immigration policies have become a deeply personal issue for many children of immigrant families.
The term “No Sabo” refers to young people of Hispanic or Latin American heritage who were born and raised in the United States but do not speak Spanish fluently. Originally used as a derogatory expression based on the incorrect Spanish conjugation of “no sé,” meaning “I don’t know,” the label has increasingly been reclaimed by young Latinos as a symbol of cultural identity and pride.
Many grew up speaking primarily English while maintaining strong connections to their families’ cultural backgrounds.
For many of the young voters who came out this year, however, casting a ballot was about more than choosing political leaders; it was also an opportunity to recognize their families’ journeys, express solidarity with immigrant communities and make their voices heard on policies affecting their future.
