NOTE: The English translation of our eighteenth Spanish-language Public Health Policy Reviews weekly video newsletter:
Hello and welcome to the eighteenth edition of our Spanish language Public Health Policy Reviews digital media newsletter.
We ended the week of June 9th through June 13th with our Spanish language video on the immigration raids initiated by federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Los Angeles, California, on Friday, June 6th.
Those ICE raids, conducted at multiple locations throughout the greater Los Angeles metropolitan region, ignited public outrage from the Mexican American community that lasted throughout the week.
Mexican American protests in Los Angeles and multiple other large American cities helped fuel a huge national turnout for the planned “No Kings” protests across the country on Saturday, June 14th, 2025.
The “No Kings” protest is now the largest single-day protest in the history of the United States.
According to Ezra Levin from Indivisible, the activist group that organized “No Kings,” about five million people participated in 2,100 international protests that took place across 20 countries.
The massive attendance at the American and worldwide “No Kings” protests was no doubt influenced by last week’s federalization of the California National Guard and US Marines to counter Mexican American domestic protesters in Los Angeles.
Americans opposed to President Donald Trump were also motivated to demonstrate against the large, expensive military parade his administration planned and organized to celebrate his 79th birthday and the 250th Anniversary of the United States Army.
On the morning of June 14th, the tragic political assassinations of Minnesota State House Democratic Leader Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark Hortman, and the attempted assassinations of State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette Hoffman, took place.
Vance Boelter, 57, was apprehended on Sunday night after Minnesota law enforcement officials said he went to the homes of four Minnesota state lawmakers “with the intent to kill them.”
Mr. Boelter was disguised as a police officer, drove a black SUV with its emergency lights turned on, and had a license plate that read “POLICE.”
In addition, celebrated fashion designer Arthur Folasa Ah Loo was shot and killed Saturday at a “No Kings” protest in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, who dressed the likes of “Moana” star Auli’i Cravalho and cast members of “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City,” was an innocent bystander who was shot accidentally by “Peacekeepers” hired by local event organizers.
