HAVANA, July 17,2018 (AP): A finding by aMexican airline that piloterror was to blame for adeadly passenger jet crashin May was dismissed aspremature Tuesday by theCuban authorities chargedwith determining the causeof the accident.

An investigative com-mission said in a statementread on state TV that it hasnot completed its analysisof “many factors” thatcould have contributed tothe May 18 crash. “For thatreason, any assertion aboutthe possible causes thatcaused the fatal accident ispremature.”

Mexican airline GlobalAir said in a statementMonday that the pilots ofthe Boeing 737 took off attoo steep of an angle be-fore the aircraft crashed nearthe runway of the interna-tional airport in Havana.

The May 18 accidentkilled 112 people and wasone of the worst aviationdisasters in Cuban history.

Global Air, which alsooperates under the nameDamojh Airlines, said thatit recreated the flight usingthe black boxes and a simu-lator as it seeks to restoreits operating license inMexico.

Mexico’s civil aviationauthority said it is still con-ducting its own analysis andhas not issued a finding.

17 VII 18 (AP): ElEjército de Estados Unidosrevirtió su decisión de darde baja a un reclutainmigrante que se habíaenrolado con la promesa deque le abriría una vía para sunaturalización, de acuerdocon documentospresentados en la corte ycon su abogado.

El inmigrante brasileñoLucas Calixto interpuso unademanda contra el Ejércitoa fines de junio,argumentando que elDepartamento de Defensano le había dado laoportunidad de defenderseo apelar cuando fue dado debaja.

Calixto, quien vive enMassachusetts yrecientemente fuepromovido a soldado rasode segunda clase, es uno dedocenas de reclutas yreservistas inmigrantes a losque, según abogados deinmigración, las fuerzas ar-madas les han dado de bajao cancelado sus contratossin dar una explicación.

En documentospresentados en la corte ellunes, abogados delDepartamento de Justiciadijeron que el ejércitoestadounidense decidiórevocar la baja de Calixto yque esperan finalizar elproceso para el miércoles.

“Este es un primer pasoimportante para regresar alseñor Calixto a su unidadmilitar, donde ha servidohonorablemente por dosaños, y permitirle completarsu compromiso de serviciode ocho años”, dijo Dou-glas Baruch, abogado deCalixto, en un comunicadoel martes.

El Pentágono y elDepartamento de Justicia senegaron a comentar sobre ladecisión, alegando el litigioen curso con respecto alprograma de reclutamientode inmigrantes y lanecesidad de proteger losintereses de seguridadnacional.

El Departamento deDefensa ha tratado dereforzar los requisitos deseguridad para el programa,a través del cual losinmigrantes históricamentehan prometido arriesgar susvidas por la posibilidad denaturalizarse. Finalmente, elprograma Military Acces-sions Vital to the NationalInterest fue suspendido.

“No hay personas cuyoscontratos hayan sidorescindidos o dados de bajade las fuerzas militaresdebido a su estatus deinmigración”, indicó lamayor de la Fuerza AéreaCarla Gleason, portavoz delPentágono. “Existen riesgossignificativos de amenazasinternas como el espionaje,terrorismo, y otrasactividades delictivas en elprograma”.

Los abogados delDepartamento de Justiciacalificaron al programa dereclutamiento como un“elevado riesgo deseguridad” en otro caso queinvolucraba a 17 reclutasnacidos en el extranjero,quienes se enlistaron alprograma pero no hanpodido aprobar losrequerimientos deseguridad adicionales.Algunos reclutas habían

falsificado sus registros deantecedentes y estabanvinculados con agencias deinteligencia respaldadas porestados, indicaron losdocumentos presentados a lacorte.

• US Army reversescourse on discharging 1immigrant recruit

July 17, 2018: The U.S.Army has reversed its deci-sion to discharge an immi-grant reservist who sued whenhe was booted from the mili-tary last month after enlistingwith a promised path to citi-zenship, according to courtfilings and his attorney.

Brazilian immigrant LucasCalixto filed a lawsuit againstthe Army in late June, sayingthe Defense Departmenthadn’t given him a chance todefend himself or appeal whenhe was discharged.

Calixto, who lives outsideBoston and recently had beenpromoted to private secondclass, is one of dozens of im-migrant recruits and reserv-ists who immigration attor-neys say have faced often un-explained military dischargesand canceled contracts.

In a court filing Monday,Justice Department attorneyssaid the Army decided to re-voke Calixto’s discharge andexpected to finalize the pro-cess by Wednesday.

“This is an important firststep in returning Mr. Calixtoto his Army unit, where hehas been serving honorablyfor two years, and allowinghim to complete his eight-year service commitment,”an attorney for Calixto, Dou-glas Baruch, said in a state-ment Tuesday.

The Pentagon and JusticeDepartment declined to com-ment on the specific deci-sion, citing ongoing litiga-tion concerning the immi-grant recruitment programand the need to protect na-tional security interests.

The reversal comes as theDefense Department has at-tempted to strengthen secu-rity requirements for the pro-gram, through which histori-cally immigrants vowed torisk their lives for the prospectof U.S. citizenship. The Mili-tary Accessions Vital to theNational Interest program,known as MAVNI, ultimatelywas suspended.

“There are no individualsbeing either released from theircontracts or separated from themilitary due to their immigra-tion status,” said Pentagonspokeswoman Air Force Maj.Carla Gleason. “There are sig-nificant risks from insiderthreats such as espionage, ter-rorism, and other criminal ac-tivity across the program.”

Government attorneyscalled the recruitment pro-gram an “elevated securityrisk” in another case involv-ing 17 foreign-born militaryrecruits who enlisted throughthe program but have not beenable to clear additional secu-rity requirements. Some re-cruits had falsified their back-ground records and were con-nected to state-sponsored in-telligence agencies, the courtfiling said.

Eligible recruits are re-quired to have legal status inthe U.S., such as a studentvisa, before enlisting. Morethan 5,000 immigrants wererecruited into the program in2016, and an estimated

10,000 are currently serv-ing. Nearly 110,000 mem-bers of the Armed Forceshave gained citizenship byserving in the U.S. militarysince Sept. 11, 2001, accord-ing to the Defense Depart-ment.

Since 2013, however,more than 20 recruits to theMAVNI program had be-come the subjects of coun-terintelligence or criminalinvestigations by the De-fense Department or FBI, ac-cording to the court filing.

Gleason could not sayhow many of those recruitshad been charged with orconvicted of crimes, nor didshe provide details as to howsuch figures compared tothose for U.S.-citizen servicemembers.

As of April od 2018,1,100 MAVNI recruits wereawaiting basic trainingwhile undergoing securityreviews, and Gleason saidthat based on historical esti-mates, about one-third of thegroup would not pass andlikely would be dischargedor have their contracts can-celled.

Some recruits say theywere given no reason fortheir recent discharges. Oth-ers said the Army informedthem they’d been labeled assecurity risks because theyhave relatives abroad orbecause the Defense Depart-ment had not completedbackground checks on them.Many were reservists whohad been attending unitdrills, receiving pay andundergoing training, immi-gration attorneys said.

The Pentagon has saidthere has been no policychange since last year, whenDefense Secretary JimMattis said no one couldship out to basic trainingwithout completion of abackground investigation.

This week, a Chinese re-cruit who said he was toldhis contract was being can-celled in March said U.S.Immigration and CustomsEnforcement officials cameto his home in Rochester,New York, and told him forthe first time that his legalstatus in the United Stateshad ended in June and thathe was being placed intodeportation proceedings.

Recruit Zhang, who gaveonly his last name for fearthat his family could facereprisals in China if he wasknown as a former U.S. Armyenlistee, said he and his wifewere issued ankle monitor-ing bracelets Monday andordered to appear in immi-gration court at the end ofAugust. ICE officials said ina statement that Zhang hadbeen charged with immigra-tion violations and ICE en-rolled him in the agency’sAlternatives for Detentionprogram “in an exercise ofdiscretion.”

Gleason and an Armyspokeswoman declined tocomment on the Zhang case.

“Me and my wife came tothe U.S. because we wantedto be good immigrants, andwe thought the program wasa great fit,” said Zhang, whohas a business managementdegree and had been pursu-ing a masters. “I am verydepressed right now, and itis hard to make a good planfor the future.”

Cuba desestimaculpar a tripulación poravionazo en mayo

LA HABANA, 17 VII 18(AP): Cuba desestimó elmartes las acusaciones de unaempresa área mexicana queculpó a la tripulación de unBoeing de realizar malasmaniobras ocasionando elaccidente que le arrebató lavida a más de un centenar depasajeros en mayo.

La empresa Global Air —propietaria de la aeronaveque se estrelló el 18 de mayoa pocos minutos de despegardel aeropuerto capitalinoJosé Martí— indicó lavíspera que el fallo obedecióa causas humanas, pues elpersonal levantó vuelo conun “ángulo muypronunciado” de ascenso.

Según un comunicado dela compañía, estos resultadospreliminares obedecen a larecreación del vuelorealizado luego de extraer lainformación de las cajasnegras recuperadas en el lugardel siniestro, un campo decultivo en las afueras de LaHabana. Sin embargo, unanota oficial leída en latelevisión estatal el martesen Cuba y firmada por laComisión de Investigacióncreada especialmente paraestudiar el dramáticoepisodio, aseguró que esprecoz arrojar conclusiones.

Un “proceso de estamagnitud requiere delanálisis de múltiples factores

y aún no ha concluido. Portal motivo cualquierafirmación sobre lasposibles causas queprovocaron el fatalaccidente es prematuro”,dijo el texto del grupo deexpertos que analiza losdatos del Boeing 737/200.

Global Air había rentadola aeronave a Cubana deAviación y ésta cubría eltrayecto entre La Habana yHolguín cuando sedesplomó con 113 perso-nas a bordo, una de lascuales sobrevivió, aunquetodavía está en estadocrítico en un hospital enesta capital.

“Una vez concluya elanálisis de las evidencias seinformarán los resultados”,señaló la Comisión.

La firma mexicana sedefendió de las acusacionesde falta de seguridad en susnaves que aparecieron enmedios de prensa y acusó afuncionarios yexempleados vengativosde estigmatizarla por algoque consideró una “fallahumana” en el manejo de lanave.

La Comisión deAviación Civil de Cuba, laDirección General deAeronáutica Civil y laAdministración Federal deAviación de EstadosUnidos son algunos de losorganismos que intervienenen investigar las causas delavionazo.

NUEVA YORK, 18 VII 18(AP): Seis estados y la ciudadde Nueva York demandaronal gobierno federal,uniéndose a otras ciudades yestados que dicen que Wash-ington intenta obligarilegalmente a lascomunidades “santuario” aparticipar en las accionesfederales contra losinmigrantes a cambio depoder recibir fondos paracombatir la delincuencia.

Las demandas fueronpresentadas el miércoles en lacorte federal de Manhattanen nombre del estado y laciudad de Nueva York y losestados de Connecticut,Nueva Jersey, Washington,Massachusetts y Virginia.

En julio de 2017, elgobierno federal impusocondiciones que requierenque las ciudades que recibensubsidios para su seguridadnotifiquen a los agentesfederales cuando inmigrantesque se encuentren en el paíssin autorización estén por serliberados.

Desde entonces las cortesfederales en Illinois,Pensilvania y California hananulado las condiciones queafectan a las llamadascomunidades “santuario”.

El Departamento deJusticia no respondió deinmediato a un pedido dedeclaraciones.

Los seis estados dicen quepodrían perder casi 25millones de dólares ensubsidios. En semanasrecientes les notificaron quedeben participar en laspolíticas del gobierno fed-eral como condición parapoder recibir su dinero,informaron funcionarios.

La ciudad de Nueva Yorkes uno de los cinco gobiernoslocales a los que se les haasignado la mayorsubvención, con 4 millonesde dólares, dijeron lasautoridades.

“Nuestro mensaje es claro:las acciones del gobierno deTrump son ilegales einmorales”, dijo en uncomunicado Bill de Blasio,alcalde de la ciudad de NuevaYork.

“Hemos demostrado, una

y otra vez, que recibir ainmigrantes ha ayudado a hacerque esta sea la ciudad de grantamaño más segura del país.Cualquier intento de poner enriesgo la confianza que existeentre nuestra agencia policiallocal y los inmigrantesneoyorquinos, fallará”, dijo DeBlasio.

En las demandas se pide queun juez declare lainconstitucionalidad delcambio de política anunciadoen 2017, el cual entró en vigorel mes pasado.

Los abogados de los estadosescribieron en documentos a lacorte que el Departamento deJusticia obliga a esasjurisdicciones a aceptarcondiciones ilegales quereducen su capacidad de fijarprioridades en materia deseguridad pública y protecciónde la comunidad.

“Con la demanda presentadahoy, Nueva York y otros estadosenvían el mensaje fuerte y clarode que no soportaremos laintolerancia ni el odio, y no nosdejaremos acosar convergonzosas tácticas políticas,mucho menos unas que sond e s c a r a d a m e n t einconstitucionales”, dijo en uncomunicado el gobernadordemócrata de Nueva York, An-drew Cuomo.

6 states and NYC sue USover immigration-relatedpolicy

NEW YORK, July 18, 2018(AP): Six states and New YorkCity sued the federal govern-ment Wednesday, joining othercities and states who say thegovernment is trying to unlaw-fully force “sanctuary” com-munities to engage in federalimmigration enforcement ifthey want anti-crime funds.

Lawsuits were filed in Man-hattan federal court on behalf ofNew York state and city, Con-necticut, New Jersey, Washing-ton, Massachusetts, and Vir-ginia.

The federal government inJuly 2017 imposed conditionsrequiring cities receiving pub-lic safety grants to notify fed-eral agents when immigrants in

the country without documen-tation are about to be releasedfrom police detention.

Since then, federal courtsin Illinois, Pennsylvania, andCalifornia have struck downthe conditions affecting so-called “sanctuary” communi-ties.

Justice Departmentspokesman Devin O’Malleycalled two lawsuits filedWednesday “a disservice tothese states’ law-abiding citi-zens.”

“By choosing not to com-ply with a federal statute thatpromotes cooperation be-tween local jurisdictions andfederal immigration authori-ties, political leaders deliber-ately choose to protect crimi-nal aliens in their custody andto make their communities lesssafe,” he said.

The six states say theycould lose a total of nearly $25million in funds. In recentweeks, they were notified theymust participate in the federalgovernment’s immigrationpolicies to receive their money,officials said.

New York City is one offive local governments eligibleto receive the largest awards,with $4 million headed its way,authorities said.

“Our message is clear: theTrump Administration’s ac-tions are illegal and morallybankrupt,” New York CityMayor Bill de Blasio said in arelease.

“We have proven, time andagain, that welcoming immi-grants has helped make thisthe safest big city in the coun-try. Any attempt to jeopardizethe trust between our local lawenforcement and immigrantNew Yorkers will fail,” deBlasio added.

The lawsuits seek a judge’sdeclaration that the policychange announced last yearand enforced recently is un-constitutional.

Lawyers for the states wrotein court papers that the JusticeDepartment was forcing statesto accept unlawful conditionsthat diminish their ability toset their law enforcement pri-orities and protect their com-munities.

que deben recibir los niñosinmigrantes.

Decenas de abogados,intérpretes y otros voluntariosrecorrieron el suroeste del paísen junio y julio para entrevistara más de 200 padres y menoresmigrantes sobre lascondiciones en las celdas,centros de detención yalbergues juveniles.

Los activistas dicen que elgobierno ha incumplido conel acuerdo Flores de 1997, quedicta las condiciones dedetención y requisitos deliberación para los niñosinmigrantes.

“Se han expresado en vozalta y clara, y lo que han dichoes que experimentan hambreforzada, deshidrataciónforzada, privación del sueñoforzada”, dice Peter Schey, unabogado de los niños que hapedido a la corte designar unsupervisor especial para que secumpla con el acuerdo. “Estánaterrorizados y creo que es horade que las cortes y el públicoescuchen sus voces”.

El Departamento deSeguridad Nacional,encargado de la inmigración yel control fronterizo, no harespondido por el momento asolicitudes de comentario. Peroen sus propios documentospresentados a la corte el mespasado, los supervisores delgobierno dijeron que lasautoridades inmigratoriascumplen con las condicionesestablecidas en el acuerdo.

En su informe, Henry MoakJr., coordinador juvenil de laOficina de Aduanas yProtección Fronteriza de los

Estados Unidos (CBP, por sussiglas en inglés), documentóque la temperatura ambientales adecuada en variasinstalaciones fronterizas y queél mismo tomó agua de loscontenedores de 20 litros (5galones) en los centros deprocesamiento de McAllen.

Dijo que algunos niños ypadres le dijeron que no lesgustaba la comida y no estabanseguros que el agua fuera po-table, pero no hubo reportesde que la comida estuvieraechada a perder.

También probó el agua enla estación de Yuma en Ari-zona y “puedo confirmar quelos bebederos funcionaban yel agua sabía limpia”, dijo.

La letanía de quejascompiladas por los abogadosse ha dado a conocer despuésque la indignación globalorillara al gobierno de Trumpa dar marcha atrás en laseparación de familiasinmigrantes en la frontera.Bajo otra orden de la corte, lasautoridades ahora reunificana los padres y niños separados,y dicen que intentaránmantener a las familias juntasdurante su proceso en cortesde inmigración, aunquesegún el acuerdo Flores, losniños inmigrantes deben serdejados en libertad enaproximadamente 20 días.

Inmigración: 6 estados y NY demandan algobierno federalPor LARRY NEUMEISTER, Associated Press

LA HABANA, 17 VII 18(AP): Cuatro presidentes de laizquierda latinoamericana yuna decena de altos dirigentespolíticos de la región hicieronvotos por lograr la unión de lasfuerzas progresistas,expresaron su solidaridad conNicaragua y rindieronhomenaje al fallecido líderFidel Castro.

Los líderes se unieron aunos 600 delegados de partidosy movimientos del continentereunidos en el foro de Sao Paulo—que agrupa a lasorganizaciones de este signopolítico— y que sesionó desdeel domingo en esta capital.

“Debemos enfrentar,denunciar, aislar y derrotar a laderecha latinoamericana queha pretendido acabar con losmovimientos progresistas”,dijo el presidente venezolanoNicolás Maduro antes decederle la palabra a suhomólogo cubano MiguelDíaz-Canel.

“Nos ha tocado verle la caraa todas las formas de la guerrano convencional”, agregóMaduro, quien acusó algobierno de Estados Unidos deimplementar fórmulas dedesestabilización en lasnaciones que se dan gobiernosno afines a Washington ydefienden los recursos natu-rales de los países. “El añopasado Venezuela soportó 120días de agresiones continuaspagadas por la Embajada deEstados Unidos para presentaruna Venezuela en caos... Hoy sela están aplicando a Nicara-gua”.

Además estuvieron losgobernantes Salvador SánchezCerén de El Salvador, Evo Mo-rales de Bolivia; exmandatarioscomo la brasileña DilmaRousseff y el hondureño ManuelZelaya, el independentistapuertorriqueño Oscar López. Aellos se unió un delegado de laargentina Cristina Fernández, elexcanciller Jorge Taiana y el

excanciller ecuatorianoRicardo Patiño.

Unos y otros hablaron de lanecesidad de la unidad de laizquierda latinoamericanaante los embates de las fuerzasde derecha, saludaron laselecciones en México con eltriunfo de Andrés ManuelLópez Obrador, rechazaroncomentarios de laOrganización de EstadosAmericanos y sobre todo, unay otra vez demandaron lalibertad para el exmandatariobrasilero, Luiz Inacio Lula daSilva.

“Pese a todos los esfuerzosdel imperialismo yanqui semantiene viva la llama de larebeldía”, expresó Díaz-Canel,para quien la izquierda y laspolíticas progresistas son laúnica forma de lograr uncontinente con menos pobrezay desigualdad social en el quelas mayorías preserven algunasde las conquistas logradas enla pasada década.

Wild about Art is a two-day art fair at the ToledoZoo, taking place 10 a.m. –5 p.m. on Saturday, August4 and Sunday, August 5,2018.

This unique show fea-tures nearly 100 local andregional artists with variousmediums on display forthousands of Zoo visitors,along with painting dem-onstrations from its animalartists in residence.

In addition to art work,this free (with Zoo admis-sion) event will include: en-

According to ChrisAmato, Heritage South Ini-tiative president, “HeritageSouth is making good on itscommitment to revitalize thehousing stock in the OldSouth End, while workingto renovate a local park. Theefforts also have drawn thelargest business investmentin that neighborhood in de-cades—a million-dollarcarryout pizza shop ex-pected to create up to 60permanent jobs [July 13,2018, La Prensa].

“All told, what is nowknown as the Old South Endwill become somewhat newagain, with more than $3million invested in hous-ing, an anchor business, andimproved recreationalamenities, including a newbaseball field at Danny Tho-mas Park [July 20, 2018, LaPrensa]. All of the improve-ments will occur in the nextyear to 18 months.”

Historic South secured$300,000 in state fundingfrom the biennial budget torehab older housing stockin a four-block area boundedby Western Ave. andCrittenden Ave. But the com-munity development corpo-ration had to raise matchfunds, for a total pool of$600,000. Toledo CityCouncil recently added$50,000 more to the pot withCommunity DevelopmentBlock Grant (CDBG) fund-ing. Key Bank, Fifth ThirdBank, and ProMedica con-tributed matching funds.

“We’re raising another$400,000 or $500,000 onour own, in addition to thatfunding,” said Amato.

That brings the total fund-

ing for housing rehab toroughly $1 million.

“We’re going roofs, win-dows, siding. Sometimes we’lldo a foundation or we’ll paintthe house,” explained Amato.“There’s literally a major trans-formation going on in thosefour blocks.”

In a handful of cases, His-toric South bought the prop-erty for an entire overhaul ofthe house—a $70,000 invest-ment in most cases—in orderto resell the home. Contractorsare replacing the water heaters,furnaces, entire electrical sys-tems where needed. Even bath-rooms have been completelyrenovated.

Home ownership—owner-occupied homes—is justabove 40 percent in the OldSouth End, so the effort is aimedat moving that needle upwardin the next couple of decadesto ensure neighborhood sta-bility long-term. The other goalis to increase property valuesin the area.

“The very first house thatwe sold in that neighborhoodis to a Hispanic guy, a first-timehome buyer and his monthlyrent was about $700,” saidAmato. “Now his mortgagewith taxes and insurance is$355. Here is a first-timehomebuyer, with about halfthe monthly cost compared towhen he was renting. So they’regetting a great deal on what isbasically a new house.”

Another home is being soldto a Latino family of 11, fol-lowing a total rehab in partner-ship with St. John’s Jesuit HighSchool and Dr. Richard Paat,who is well-known for medi-cal missions to Puerto Ricoand Central America. A thirdhome is ready for sale at

$45,000. Historic Southplans to buy two more resi-dential properties directlyfrom the Lucas County LandBank with the aim of moretotal home renovations.

When all is said a done,80 houses will receive somesort of improvements. Con-tractors, dumpsters, and scaf-folding have been commonsites in that four-block ra-dius since early spring.

“Basically, it’s no ques-tions asked,” said Amato. “Ifthey live in that four-blockarea, they qualify. Most pro-grams have an income re-quirement. Here there is norequirement.”

Beautification efforts alsotook place this spring. A lo-cal doctor donated boxwoodshrubs for any homeownerwho wanted to plant them.St. John’s students per-formed some of their requiredcommunity service by trav-eling the neighborhood andhanding out annuals sohomeowners could plantflowers in their front yards.

“The goal is we’ll startwith this one neighborhoodand expand it over time,”said Amato. “What all theexperts told us was to con-centrate on one small areaand grow it out over time.What we’re hoping is thatwhen this two-year project isdone, the state will see it as ahuge success and that we’releveraging their money andthat we can expand it to an-other four-block area. This isnot going to happen over-night—but if we can havesome patience, over the next20 years, you’re going to seea totally revised Old SouthEnd.”

• FLOC’s rally at 7-ELEVEN conveniencestore calling on the store todrop the VUSE E-Ciga-rettes; action outside thestore [2601 W. Bancroft St.]to drop the VUSE e-ciga-rette brand, on Saturday,July 28, 2018, 12:00 noonto 1:00PM.

As part of a national boy-cott of VUSE, dozens ofpeople will participate inan action outside of a 7-ELEVEN, calling on thestore to drop VUSE, a brandof electronic cigarettesmade by Reynolds Ameri-can Inc. that contains nico-tine extracted from tobacco.

Kangaroo is the largestconvenience store chain inthe Southeast, and tobaccoproduct sales make up 38%of Kangaroo sales. Consum-ers believe that 7-ELEVENis an integral part of thetobacco supply chains andtherefore should support to-bacco farmworkers de-mands for better workingand living conditions.

For ten years, the FarmLabor Organizing Commit-tee (FLOC), a farmworkerunion representing tobaccofarmworkers, has chal-lenged Reynolds as a leaderin the tobacco industry toend abuses in their supplychain by guaranteeingfarmworkers freedom of as-sociation and the right tocollectively negotiate bet-ter working conditions.Reynolds sets the term oftheir grower contracts andis ultimately responsible forthe working conditions oftobacco farmworkers intheir supply chain.

According to FLOC, “in2011, Oxfam America andFLOC released a human

M A N C H E S T E R ,Inglaterra, 19 VII 18 (AP):El delantero chileno AlexisSánchez ha resuelto suproblema de visa y puedeviajar a Estados Unidospara participar en la gira depretemporada delManchester United.

Sánchez tuvo quepermanecer en Manches-ter cuando el resto delequipo cruzó el Atlánticoel pasado fin de semana

CIUDAD DE MÉXICO,19 VII 18 (AP): A casi tressemanas de su eliminaciónen la Copa del Mundo, laselección mexicana aún nodefine quién será su técnicopara el próximo ciclomundialista tras lafinalización del acuerdoque tenía el colombianoJuan Carlos Osorio, quienaún es candidato paracontinuar y definirá su fu-turo en las próximas horas.

Osorio, que pasó tresaños al frente del “Tri”,descartó una renovaciónque le ofrecieron losdirigentes en marzo pasadoy su contrato expiró con laeliminación ante Brasil elpasado 2 de julio por losoctavos de final delMundial de Rusia.

“Este fin de semanatenemos que darle unarespuesta definitiva a losjefes en México”, dijo Osorioal diario El País de Colom-bia, donde se encuentraactualmente para participaren un partido entre los amigosde Mario Yepes. “Estamoseternamente agradecidoscon la Federación Mexicanapor la oportunidad que nosdio, para nadie es un secretoque llegar a la selección hasido un sueño”.

Osorio clasificó aMéxico sin sobresaltos yen la cima de laCONCACAF por primeravez desde las eliminatoriaspara Francia 98, además queen Rusia consiguió unresonante triunfo sobreAlemania.

“Creo que la selección

mexicana mostró lacapacidad de jugar de iguala igual, haberle ganado aAlemania en el primer juegofue extraordinario, igualhaberle jugado a Brasil, laotra potencia mundial, caraa cara, es muy elogiable”,agregó el estratega.

El currículum delcolombiano está manchadocon la histórica derrota de 7-1 ante Chile por la CopaAmérica Centenario, el peorrevés en la historia paraMéxico. En Rusia, unaderrota de 3-0 ante Suecia enel último partido por la fasede grupos es el peordescalabro en Mundial desdeArgentina 78, cuandoAlemania goleó 6-0 al “Tri”.

Osorio sí le dio a Méxicoalgo de lo que había carecido:estabilidad en su banquillo.Antes de su arribo, el cargofue una puerta revolventepor la que pasaron seistécnicos en cinco años:Enrique Meza, EfraínFlores, José Manuel de laTorre, Luis Fernando Tena,Miguel Herrera y RicardoFerretti lo precedieron.

El colombiano declaró eljueves que ha pensado endirigir a la selección de supaís, pero que “lo prudentees que entre hoy y mañana enMéxico sabrán nuestradecisión y a partir de ahí serála decisión de otras perso-nas”.

Aunque su metodologíade rotaciones constantes dejugadores fue cuestionada ytras la eliminación, muchosjugadores se pronunciaronpor su continuidad.

“No es decisión denosotros, pero si se quedalos jugadores loapoyarían”, dijo eldelantero del LA FC,Carlos Vela. “LaFederación está en unmomento de cambios ydecisiones y por ahora creoque no es tiempo de hablar,primero que decidan comova a estar todo y si habrácambios o no”.

La decisión sobre elnuevo entrenador será laprimera para el nuevopresidente de la FederaciónMexicana, Yon de Luisa,quien a partir del 1 deagosto asumió el timón delorganismo en relevo porDecio de María.

De Luisa no ha dadodeclaraciones desde queasumió el cargo.

Si Osorio no vuelve,México podría voltear lamirada hacia otroscandidatos del mercado lo-cal como el argentinoMatías Almeyda, quienrecientemente quedódesvinculado de Chivas—donde ganó cinco títulosen apenas tres años.

El “Pelado” Almeydaterminó anticipadamentesu acuerdo con elGuadalajara por diferenciascon sus dirigentes con elarmado del equipo y sigueviviendo en esa ciudad deloccidente mexicano.

Otro candidato es el“Piojo” Herrera, quienperdió el puesto por agredira un periodista yactualmente dirige alAmérica.

debido, según el conjunto, a“un asunto administrativopersonal”.

El problema de la visa fueporque el jugador habíaaceptado este año unasentencia suspendida de 16meses de prisión en Españapor evasión tributaria.

CLEVELAND: On July23, 2018, over 100 transitriders from Clevelandersfor Public Transit [CPT]marched from the GreaterCleveland Regional Tran-sit Authority’s [GCRTA’s]headquarters to PublicSquare and rallied for tran-sit funding.

On July 24, 2018, mem-bers of CPT presented over700 letters to the RTA’sBoard of Trustees callingon the Board to place a tran-sit funding levy on the bal-lot this November. Ridersspoke and presented theletters during the at 9 a.m.Board meeting at RTA’sHeadquarters at 1240 W 6thSt in downtown Cleveland.

According to its pressrelease, RTA is losing $20million in annual fundingdue to a change in statesales tax collection policywhich will result in signifi-cant service cuts to an al-

ready inadequate and shrink-ing system. Funding is ur-gently needed in order toreverse the current death spi-ral by providing immediatefare relief and service resto-ration. †In order to reestab-lish public trust and reformthe organization, CPT is call-ing for the levy to be renew-able after five years.

RTA’s Board of Trusteeshas supported the longest-serving transit administra-tion in the country whilethose who depend on transitto provide for their family, toaccess medical care and tobetter themselves througheducation have endured ris-ing fares and reduced service.

In 2006, a single trip onRTA cost only $1.25. Sincethat time, fares have doubledwhile service has declinedby over 25 percent. The re-sult is record-low ridershipof just 39.5 million rides lastyear — a decrease of over 30

percent in the past decade.CPT is also calling on

Cleveland’s Mayor FrankJackson, County ExecutiveBudish, and the Mayors andManagers Association toinclude daily RTA riders aswell as experts in rail andbus operation, finance andbudget, land use, real-es-tate law and environmen-tal sustainability. This willallow the Board of Trusteesto make better informed de-cisions, rather than approv-ing staff recommendationswithout careful consider-ation.

CPT is calling on RTA’sBoard of Trustees to imme-diately reverse the deathspiral by putting transitfunding on the ballot thisNovember. †“Residents ofCuyahoga County deservethe public transit servicethat will move our regionforward for all,” concludedthe press release.

Riders present hundreds of letters in supportof local transit funding

CMSD to add third school based on IB modelAjayi Monell came to Cleveland from Georgia three years ago and embraced CMSD’s

practice of letting families pick their schools. Now he has an opportunity to market one ofthe District’s newest/options. Monell is principal of the new William Rainey Harper School,which will start with preschool through third grade when it opens next month in the OldBrooklyn neighborhood. Harper will be the third CMSD school to follow the InternationalBaccalaureate model, joining Campus International K-8 and Campus International HighSchool.

Campus K-8, based at Cleveland State University, perennially ranks as the District’s mostpopular choice, with seats filled by lottery and other students placed on a/waiting list./†Adding Harper will expand CMSD families’ access to the IB model.

Harper will stress an inquiry method of instruction, permitting students to take controlof their learning, raise questions, research answers and benefit from the mistakes they makealong the way. To that will be added the International Baccalaureate model’s globalperspective and recognition of how a student’s actions, even locally, can impact the world.

“My vision for William Rainey Harper is to make it a major place of learning not just forthe kids but for the teachers, staff and the community,” said Monell, who previously wasassistant principal at Riverside School. “I’ve told people I want this to be the Disneyland ofschools here.”

SANTA ANA, Calif.,July 17, 2018 (AP): Wetand muddy from their trekacross the Mexican bor-der, immigrant childrensay they sat or lay on thecold, concrete floor of theimmigration holdingcenters where they weretaken.

It was hard to sleepwith lights shining allnight and guards kickingtheir feet, they say. Theywere hungry, after beinggiven what they say werefrozen sandwiches andsmelly food.

Younger childrencried in caged areas wherethey were crammed inwith teens, and they clam-ored for their parents.Toilets were filthy, andrunning water was scarce,they say. They waited,unsure and frightened ofwhat the future mightbring.

“I didn’t know wheremy mother was,” saidGriselda, 16, of Guate-mala, who entered theU.S. with her mother inthe McAllen, Texas, area.“I saw girls ask wheretheir mothers were, butthe guards would not tellthem.”

The children’s de-scriptions of various fa-cilities are part of a volu-minous and at times scath-ing report filed in federalcourt this week in LosAngeles in a case overwhether the Trump ad-ministration is meetingits obligations under along-standing settlementgoverning how youngimmigrants should betreated in custody.

Dozens of volunteerlawyers, interpreters andother legal workersfanned out across theSouthwest in June andJuly to interview morethan 200 immigrant par-ents and children in hold-ing facilities, detentioncenters and a youth shel-ter.

Advocates said thegovernment isn’t com-plying with the decades-old Flores agreement,which lays out detentionconditions and release re-quirements for immigrantchildren.

“They have spoken outloud and clear, and whatthey’ve said is they are ex-periencing enforced hun-ger, enforced dehydration,enforced sleeplessness,”said Peter Schey, an attor-ney for the children whohas asked the court to ap-point a special monitor toenforce the agreement.“They are terrorized, and Ithink it is time for the courts

SAN DIEGO, July 19,2018 (AP): The Trump ad-ministration said Thursdaythat it has reunified 364 chil-dren ages 5 and older withtheir families after they wereseparated at the border, stillleaving hundreds to go be-fore a court-imposed dead-line a week away.

The Justice Departmentreaffirmed in a court filingthat it has identified 2,551children who may be cov-ered by U.S. District JudgeDana Sabraw’s order. Morethan 900 are either “not eli-gible or not yet known to theeligible,” the vast majorityof them undergoing evalua-tion to verify parentage andensure the children are safe.

ACLU attorney LeeGelernt said he was con-cerned about the high num-

19 VII 18 (AP): Immi-grants applying for a spe-cial visa awarded to vic-tims of crime on U.S. soilare being detained and de-ported by Donald Trump’sadministration.

Under past presidents,people who were here with-out documentation butqualified for so-called “U

visas” were typically al-lowed to wait stateside untiltheir petitions were ap-proved. But now ramped-upimmigration enforcementmeans some of them are get-ting swept up by U.S. Immi-gration and Customs En-forcement [ICE] before theyhave a chance to legalize.

Congress established the

U visa program in 2000 toencourage immigrants toreport crimes to law en-forcement. The visas aregiven to victims of crimessuch as sexual assault, do-mestic violence, and ob-struction of justice.

Advocates say recentdeportations underminethe protection’s spirit.

and the public to hear theirvoices.”

The Department ofHomeland Security, whichoversees immigration andborder enforcement, didnot immediately comment.But in their own reports tothe court last month, gov-ernment monitors said thatimmigration authoritieswere complying with thesettlement agreement.

In his report, HenryMoak Jr., juvenile coordi-nator for U.S. Customs andBorder Protection, docu-mented the air temperatureas appropriate at a numberof border facilities and saidhe drank the water himselffrom five-gallon contain-ers at a processing center inMcAllen.

He said some childrenand parents told him theydisl iked the food andweren’t sure the water wasdrinkable, but there wereno allegations the food wasspoiled.

At the Yuma station inArizona, he said he triedthe water there, too, and, “Ican confirm the water foun-tains worked and the watertasted clean.”

The litany of complaintscompiled by advocatescomes after a global outcrydrove the Trump adminis-tration to stop separatingimmigrant families at theborder. Authorities are nowreuniting parents and chil-dren under a separate courtorder and said they willseek to detain families to-gether during their immi-gration proceedings,though under the Floresagreement immigrant chil-dren are generally supposedto be released from custodyin about 20 days.

Many of the children de-scribed conditions in U.S.Customs and Border Pro-tection facilities where theywere taken and processedin the initial days aftercrossing the border. Theywere identified in the re-ports solely by their firstnames.

Timofei, a 15-year-oldfrom Russia who sought asy-lum at the border with hisparents over their beliefs asJehovah’s Witnesses, saidnight and day blended to-gether in the locked,crowded room where he washeld with other boys. It hada single window overlook-ing an empty corridor, hesaid. He said there was nosoap in the bathroom, andhe only sometimes got asingle-use toothbrush.

He said he was offered ashower upon arriving at theSan Ysidro, California, fa-cility but didn’t take oneand wasn’t allowed one on

his second or third daythere.

Some children werelater sent to the Casa Pa-dre shelter in Texas forimmigrant children trav-eling alone or who wereseparated from their par-ents. The facility operatesunder a contract with theDepartment of Health andHuman Services. There,teenage boys describedgoing hungry and not be-ing given enough time tospeak with their parentsby phone.

Kenneth Wolfe , aspokesman for HHS’s Ad-ministration for Childrenand Families, said theagency wouldn’t com-ment on specific cases butif a contractor doesn’tcomply with agency pro-cedures, the issue is ad-dressed.

Also in Texas, Keylin,a 16-year-old girl fromHonduras, said she trav-eled north with her motherafter her mother’s life wasthreatened back home.The pair turned them-selves in at the bordernear McAllen and weretaken to a facility shecalled the “ice box” be-cause it was so cold.

A day later, they weretaken to a facility withcaged areas she called the“dog house.” There, theywere separated and al-lowed to speak once for10 minutes over the nextfour days, she said.

In both places, the foodwas frozen and smelledbad and she couldn’t eatit, she said. She said fe-male guards yelled at herand other girls and madethem strip naked andleered at them before theyshowered.

“I was very frightenedand depressed the entiretime. I was scared of theguards and scared I wouldbe deported without mymother,” she said, addingthey were later reunitedand sent to a family de-tention center.

Angel, a 13-year-oldwho came from Mexicowith his mother, saidguards told boys in hiscell in McAllen, Texasthey were going to beadopted and wouldn’t seetheir parents again. Hewas later sent to familydetention with his motherwhere he said they passedan asylum screening andwere awaiting release.

“I am excited to get outof here and get past thisnightmare,” he said.

ber of children who have notbeen cleared for reunification.

The administration andthe American Civil LibertiesUnion [ACLU] are due backin court Friday for the fifthtime in two weeks as the judgeholds tightly to a July 26deadline for all children to bereunified. He set an earlierdeadline of July 10 for doz-ens of children under 5.

The government has identi-fied eight U.S. Immigration andCustoms Enforcement [ICE]locations to reunify children 5and older, and people have beengetting released throughout theSouthwest this week.

The U.S. Conference ofCatholic Bishops and LutheranImmigration and Refugee Ser-vice are taking the lead on help-ing families that have been re-leased into the U.S. The faith-

based groups provide food,clothing, legal aid and of-ten money for a bus or aplane ticket, usually for themto join relatives across thecountry.

Annunciation House inEl Paso, Texas, has serveddozens of families. Theshelter’s director, RubénGarcía, said “the actual re-unification process is a lo-gistical nightmare.”

On Monday, the judgeput a temporary hold on de-porting parents while thegovernment prepares a re-sponse to the ACLU’s re-quest for parents to have atleast one week to decidewhether to pursue asylum inthe U.S. after they are re-united with their children.
