Saturday, May 30, 2020
Two stories: have dominated the news this week: the widespread violence spawned by the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota and the continuing health and economic impact on the United States of the COVID-19 pandemic. Given those two powerful forces, it is unlikely that the five most prominent Sunday morning public affairs programs will address the subjects of immigration, refugees, or ethnicity in a big way during their May 31, 2020, editions.
Notwithstanding the likely dominance on the programs of the Floyd and COVID-19 stories, the presence of several guests this week, including appearances by Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN), who came to the United States as a Somali refugee, Patrick Gaspard, who was born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo; and María Teresa Kumar, who is President of Voto Latino, makes it likely that those subjects will be addressed in some way during this weekend programs.
A sneak peek at the guest lists for the upcoming May 31, 2020, editions of each of the five major broadcast and cable Sunday public affairs programs appears after the jump, along with previews of the likely or possible discussions on those programs about immigration and, refugees.
