Protests in Los Angeles continue, as the city faces the sixth day of clashes between demonstrators and Trump's immigration agents.

Thank you so much for joining us.

1. How serious is the situation in Los Angeles? What have you been seeing over the past few days? (Is it safe to move around the city? How has it affected people's daily lives?)

2. As an immigration lawyer, how is the Trump administration's immigration policy affecting your clients? How do you assess the overall situation regarding immigration raids in LA?

3. Korean Americans in Los Angeles recently criticized Donald Trump Jr. after he posted a controversial meme mocking the unrest by referring to 'Rooftop Korean' from the 1992 riots. Tell us about how the Korean American community has been responding to the latest protests.

4. What are some of the biggest concerns for Korean Americans in Los Angeles and across the U.S.? How has the Korean community been affected in terms of doing business? Are people worried that they might have to leave the city they live in?

5. We're seeing the federal government and state officials clash over the deployment of troops to the LA protests with the California governor now asking the court to block Trump's decision. How do you think that will play out? As the protests spread to other cities, could this become an issue in other states as well?

Alright. I'm afraid that's all the time we have for today.

I hope you stay safe there and thank you so much for your time. We appreciate it.
