inside the airport, so they re being as loud as they possibly can, trying to get to customs border control who controls the situation, it release any information about their status, their whereabouts, or what is happening with the situation. so far we have heard nothing, the attorneys who are here trying to help people have heard nothing. and the protesters want answers and they re going to be here for quite some time trying to get them. back to you. steve patterson at a lively scene there at l.a.x., one of the many airports featuring forests. thank you for your reporting. we have more guests and experts coming up. we want to dip in an unfolding scene, you re looking at chicago. one of the protests where a press conference is being held. we re going to listen in. they don t want our voices being heard. so we need to be loud and clear today. we have allies from across the community, all different immigrant and nonimmigrant
