FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9
PROGRAM #11295 12:00 PM PT

Mexico Edition. 

In Mexico City, “Little Los Angeles” has become a gathering place for a growing number of Mexicans deported from the United States who are trying to rebuild their lives in a country they barely know. How are deportees coping with displacement and the challenges of returning to Mexico? We hear their stories, and analysts weigh in on the latest developments.

Guest: Esme Flores Marcial, director of Otros Dreams en Acción (ODA), Mexico City, MX; excerpts from recent statements by Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, Mexico’s President; Mauricio Kuri González, Governor of Querétaro; Ronald Johnson, U.S. Ambassador to Mexico; David (he grew up in Arizona and was deported to Mexico); Erick (he lived in New York and was deported to Mexico); and Jorge Alejandro (he was deported to Mexico).
