LA Protests TOWN HALL: Pulitzer Prize Winner Viet Thanh Nguyen Answers Your Questions
Join Mehdi and Viet – an LA resident – for a Q&A on Trump’s deployment of the National Guard against LA protesters.
On Sunday, President Donald Trump brazenly defied California Governor Gavin Newsom by deploying the National Guard against demonstrators in Los Angeles, as they protested against the administration’s immigration raids. Newsom has already called the deployment unlawful and a “serious breach of state sovereignty”, and has now filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration.
In order to help viewers break down the recent immigration raids, Trump’s drastic move against protesters (which many predicted), and the California governor’s response, Zeteo will be hosting a live Town Hall Q&A, exclusively for paid subscribers on Tuesday, June 10 at 6pm BST / 2pm ET / 11am PT with Zeteo contributor, Pulitzer Prize winner, and LA resident Viet Thanh Nguyen.
Viet’s novel, The Sympathizer, won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and he is also the author of the acclaimed To Save and to Destroy. He is also a professor of English and American Studies and Ethnicity, and Comparative Literature at the University of Southern California.
Viet himself is a refugee and has spoken out against the crackdown on student protesters, the US support for Israel’s war on Gaza, and Trump’s deportation campaign.
