From New York, this is Democracy Now. We condemn what have been done to us,

which we consider as a crimes against humanity. Because this is our culture,

everything our people, it's not a way of letting people live as a human being.

Pressure is growing on Britain and the United States to pay reparations and apologize for

forcibly removing the residents of the Chegos Islands and the Indian Ocean, more than a half

century ago. So the United States could build a military base on the island of Diego Garcia.

We'll speak with a leading Chegosian activist, then to New Mexico, where a Trump supporter wearing

a MAGA hat opened fire on an indigenous led protest against the re-installation of a statue,

honoring a 16th century Spanish conquistador. One indigenous climate activist was shot and needed

to be airlifted for emergency surgery. We'll get the latest. Then a shocking new report estimates

some 35,000 people in the United States have been killed with the hands of U.S. law enforcement since

the year 2000. We'll speak to two researchers with a La Raza database research project,

which has revealed the number of brown and black people killed by police may be more than double

the amount that has been widely reported. The Raza database project goal is to provide

as accurate a count of the deaths of Latinos and other persons of color. By or at the hands of police,

it's a breakthrough study that expands on the data that's already being collected by other

resources. All that and more coming up.
