PUBLIC PROTESTS ACROSS U.S. CITIES

Welcome to Press Perspective for this Thursday June 19th here in Seoul.

I'm Min Sunhee.

Today we turn our attention to public protests over in the U.S. following our own fair share of domestic demonstrations after a short-lived martial law late last year.

For more I have Ruy Valdes with Spanish news agency EFE Spain.

Ruy it's good to have you here.

I also have Jessica Stone an independent journalist over in the U.S.

Jessica thank you making time to join us live.

1-1) Jessica, LA has become the epicenter of tensions over Trump's deportation plan

1-2) And Jessica, broadly speaking, what's the latest with regard to ICE raids on farms, hotels and restaurants?

2) Jessica, what can you tell us about the demographics of the demonstrators?

3-1) Ruy, for the sake of clarity, how many undocumented immigrants are there in the U.S., and what makes the U.S. a desired destination?

3-2) Ruy, do you suppose the Trump administration's immigration policies have changed how Mexican migrants view the U.S.?

4) Ruy, we've been told immigrants contribute tangibly to the U.S. economy.

5) Jessica, beyond the public protests against ICE raids in LA, there were rallies in other parts of the U.S. this past weekend called the "No Kings" that drew millions, I hear.

6) Ruy, the LA protests also prompted a diplomatic dispute between Mexico and the U.S., I believe.

7) Jessica, also with regard to Mr. Trump's broader immigration policies.

8) Ruy, speaking about immigration but here in South Korea.

All right.
