Sin Fronteras: What the Primaries Left Behind

THURSDAY, JUNE 4
PROGRAM #11162 12:00 PM PT

Sin Fronteras. This is a program of “Sin Fronteras,” a special series that serves audiences in the US and Mexico with breaking news and analysis on major developments affecting Latinos in the US.

What the Primaries Left Behind. 

News and analysis on Tuesday’s primary results in California and New Mexico — two heavily Latino, solidly Democratic states whose outcomes could reshape the national battle for Congress. Who is moving on to November in the races for governor and Congress? And what signals do these results send about the Latino vote?

U.S.-Iran: Ceasefire Under Fire. Amid a fragile truce, the United States and Iran continue to exchange military strikes. Indirect negotiations are reportedly underway, and both sides speak of imminent agreements — only to contradict each other shortly after. Meanwhile, a new deal to extend the ceasefire has been reported. How real are the negotiations? What conditions are each side demanding? And how is the current situation affecting the United States and the world?

Immigrants on Hunger Strike. Immigrants detained at an ICE facility in Adelanto, California, are on hunger strike to demand due process, adequate medical care, and humane treatment. California’s attorney general has released the findings of his latest review of immigrant detention centers — and the picture is more alarming than ever: growing numbers of detainees, deaths, and life-threatening conditions. What is happening in Adelanto and other detention centers? Who is accountable for these conditions? And why have so many died?

Cheaper Insurance — At What Cost? As health insurance subsidies come to an end, interest is growing in alternative plans with lower premiums but far fewer protections. Their promoters say they at least offer options when standard policies are out of reach. Consumer advocates call them “junk insurance.” What should families review before choosing coverage? And what risks do consumers face when they opt for cheaper plans?
