Another Police Killing of an African American Snuffs Out Almost All Discussions of Immigration During the
​June 14 Sunday Public Affairs Programs
Sunday, June 14, 2020

Click the Play Button, above, to see excerpts of instances in which the subjects of immigration or refugees were discussed during the June 14, 2020, Sunday public affairs programs.

Just when news coverage of events surrounding the killing of George Floyd at the hands of four Minneapolis, Minnesota police officers and the widespread protests and civil unrest that the killing has spawned had begun to recede, the late Saturday night killing of Rayshard Brooks by police in the parking lot of a fast food restaurant in Atlanta, Georgia thrust the issue of African Americans dying at the hands of police officers in the United States back into prominence on the five most prominent Sunday morning public affairs programs.  This left little room for discussions about other matters, including discussions about immigration, refugees, or ethnicity,  Indeed, the only illusion came in a segment on demographics and the Republican party during NBC's "Meet the Press" program.
