On the eve of the five-year commemoration of George Floyd’s death, the Trump administration is withdrawing Department of Justice (DOJ) oversight for police departments in Minneapolis, Phoenix, Louisville, and other cities where the DOJ previously found civil rights violations against Native Americans and other people of color. Floyd’s murder by a Minneapolis police officer prompted global calls for accountability for long standing inequities. Now, Native American racial justice advocates say any progress toward improving unbalanced treatment by law enforcement agencies is stalled, at best. We’ll assess the direction of racial equity in the criminal justice system over the five years since George Floyd’s high-profile death.

Sales of existing homes fell in April to about 4 million a year. For comparison, almost 7 million existing homes were sold each year from 2020 to 2022. The reasons?

Plus: flooding in Australia, a raised retirement age in Denmark and cash use in Sweden.
In 1975, the Vietnam War ended with the fall of Saigon. Afterward, a large wave of Vietnamese refugees fled the country and arrived in neighboring countries like Cambodia and the Philippines – and the United States as well. Many found community on the coasts like in California or New York, but others created enclaves in the Midwest cities like Chicago.
To mark 50 years since the end of the Vietnam War and in honor of Asian American, Native American and Pacific Islander Month, Reset learns more about the history of the Vietnamese community in Chicago.
Panel:
Vân Huynh, executive director of the Vietnamese Association of Illinois
Tam Nguyen, employment counselor at Chinese Mutual Aid Association
Ngoan Le, the first executive director, Vietnamese Association of Illinois; former chief of the Illinois Bureau of Refugee and Immigrant Services.
