WASHINGTON, DC,Oct. 28, 2017 (AP): Cuba’sforeign minister on Satur-day announced changes tothe island’s immigrationpolicies, seeking tostrengthen ties with the800,000 Cubans living out-side the country amidstrained relations withWashington, DC followingaccusations that U.S. diplo-mats suffered mysterioussonic attacks in Havana,which Cuba has denied.
Speaking to a group ofCubans residing in the UnitedStates, Foreign MinisterBruno Rodríguez said thenew rules go into effect as ofJan. 1, and blamed the UnitedStates for creating unjust ob-stacles in its visa departmentby expelling Cuban embassypersonnel.
Rodríguez said the foreignministry will authorize theentry and exit of expatriateCubans through two tourist
COLUMBUS, Nov. 3,2017: State Rep. DanRamos (D-Lorain) testifiedthis week in the House Fed-eralism and Interstate Com-merce Committee in sup-port of House ConcurrentResolution (HCR) 15,which would call DonaldTrump to immediately re-store the Deferred Actionfor Childhood Arrivals(DACA) program. Rep.Ramos introduced HCR 15in response to the Trumpadministration’s Septem-ber decision to end the pro-gram.
“These are Americans inevery conceivable way, ex-cept citizenship,” said Rep.Ramos. “These childrenand young adults werebrought to this nation withtheir parents before an agewhere they would have hada say in the matter, some-times too young to evenremember. They wereraised here, go to schoolhere, pledge allegiance toour flag, and for all intentsand purposes are Americanchildren and young adults.Put simply, the UnitedStates is the only homethey’ve ever known orwanted.”
The end of this programcould cause the forced de-
WASHINGTON, DC,Nov. 2, 2017 (AP): DonaldTrump and Republicansenators agreed not to dealwith a needed fix for youngimmigrants in must-passyear-end spending legisla-tion, according to someGOP lawmakers who vis-ited the White House onThursday.
Instead, they said, a so-lution would likely waituntil next year for some800,000 immigrantsbrought without documen-tation to the United Statesas children by adults, gen-erally their parents. Thoseimmigrants, known by sup-porters as DREAMers, arein limbo after Trump an-nounced he was endingtemporary deportationprotections granted by theBarack Obama administra-tion and giving Congressuntil March to come upwith a fix.
Democrats have indi-cated they want to use ayear-end spending bill toforce action on DREAMers.Their votes will likely beneeded to pass spendinglegislation to keep the gov-ernment running, so theTrump-GOP stance maynot end up prevailing.
“No immigration bill onthe omnibus or any othermust-pass piece of legisla-tion in 2017,” said GOPSen. Tom Cotton of Arkan-sas after exiting the meet-ing with Trump. “He agreedto that, as does the Senateleadership, and I think thevast majority of Republi-can senators.”
SANTA FE, N.M., Nov. 2,2017 (AP): A Day of the Dead[Día de los Muertos] altar withfamily photos of orphanedchildren in the arms of the de-parted stood as silent testimonyto New Mexico’s struggle toreduce the toll of opioid addic-tion, while state lawmakers andhealth care experts searchedThursday for new tools to com-bat deaths from the drug crisisgripping the nation.
The unique display at asummit attended by some 300people in the most Hispanicstate comes amid Día de losMuertos, a Mexican holidayremembering loved ones whohave died.
The number of annual drugoverdose deaths in NewMexico has plateaued amid aseries of pioneering policies tocombat opioid addiction, in-cluding becoming the first stateto require law enforcementagencies to provide officerswith overdose antidote kits.
Other solutions include aprescription monitoring data-base to prevent dangerous over-lapping drug sales; increas-ingly expanding access tonaloxone, a drug that can re-verse overdoses; and allowingmore medical providers to pre-scribe the opioid anti-cravingdrug bupenorphine.
Six states rushed to adoptmany of those measures thisyear by declaring public health
emergencies over opioidabuse ahead of the nationalemergency that Donald Trumpdeclared last week.
New Mexico epidemiolo-gist Michael Landen on Thurs-day said he expects the state tofall to about 15th place in therate of drug overdose deaths in2016 from eighth place theprior year. Federal rankings aredue out later this year.
He cautioned that NewMexico’s ranking has im-proved only because the crisisis surging elsewhere. That lefta committee of lawmakersgrasping for new solutions atthe summit in Santa Fe.
Against one wall, candlesand orange marigold flowersdecorated a makeshift altar.People wrote down the namesof loved ones lost to addictionor propped up family photo-graphs.
Lupe Salazar, 50, added aphoto of a sister who over-dosed on heroin, leaving her tocare for two nieces, ages 4 and10.
“There’s this empty spacenow,” she said. “No matter howmany years go by, there is thatvoid.”
Lawmakers on a health carecommittee sought advice froma panel of experts in pain man-agement, opioid antidote treat-ments and pharmacy practiceson whether the state shouldadopt a seven-day limit on
post-surgery opiate pain medi-cation.
And they looked for scien-tific research on the use of medi-cal marijuana to ease with-drawal symptoms. RepublicanGov. Susana Martínez vetoedlegislation this year that wouldhave added “opioid use disor-der” to the list of eligible con-ditions for medical marijuana.
Joanna Katzman, executivemedical director at the Univer-sity of New Mexico Pain Cen-ter, said it’s not clear if limitingpost-surgery opioid prescrip-tions can reduce overdosedeaths, though several stateshave made that change.
State Sen. Liz Stefanics, aSanta Fe Democrat, suggestedthe widest possible distribu-tion of antidote medication.
“I’m interested in legisla-tion that would make Narcanavailable just like contracep-tives in the state,” Stefanics,referring to a brand-name anti-dote.
State Rep. DeborahArmstrong helped organize thegathering and hopes it willexpand successful approachesto combating the opioid crisis,especially if more federal fund-ing becomes available.

ports and allow the return ofnationals who left the countryillegally, except those whodeparted from the U.S. Navalbase at Guantanamo Bay. Healso said the children of Cu-bans residing outside the coun-try and those born in foreigncountries will be able to obtainCuban citizenship and identi-fication documents.
“The government of theUnited States closes and Cubaopens” doors, Rodríguez said.
Cuba’s government relaxedits migration policy in 2013,when it canceled the require-ment that island residents ap-ply for an exit permit to travelabroad.
Rodríguez said that by re-ducing its diplomatic presenceand suspending the issue ofvisas in Havana, Washingtonwas hurting the ability of Cu-ban families to visit their rela-tives in the U.S. He said thenew requirement that Cubansmust travel to the U.S. consu-
late in Colombia to handletheir visas through personalinterviews represents an in-surmountable obstacle inmany cases.
“To Cuba, it is unaccept-able and immoral that theU.S. government has decidedto take political decisionsthat harm the Cuban people,”he said.
Washington, DC re-moved 60 percent of its stafffrom the island, expelledCuban diplomats from theU.S., restricted the issuanceof visas, and required thattravelers to Cuba be told thatdiplomats had suffered at-tacks with an unknown sonicweapon that caused themtemporary deafness or per-manent, nausea, concussion,and other symptoms.
Rodríguez called reportsof the sonic attacks “totally”false and “a political manipu-lation aimed at damaging bi-lateral relations.”

“This is not just the rightthing to do morally; it is theright thing to do economi-cally,” said Ramos. “DACAis a tool, a bootstrap if youwill, one that can be used forupward mobility.”
More than 97 percent ofDACA recipients are inschool or the workforce. End-ing DACA would result inthe loss of $460.3 billionfrom U.S. GDP over the nextdecade, as well as $24.6 bil-lion in Social Security and
Medicare taxcontributions.Repeal wouldcost Ohiomore than$251.6 mil-lion annually.
Over 800CEOs fromacross thetech, retail andfinancial sec-tors havesigned a letterin opposition
including those of AT&T,Best Buy, Wells Fargo,Amazon, Alphabet,Microsoft and Apple. AnApril 2017 survey of regis-tered voters found that 78%of American voters supportgiving DACA recipientsthe chance to stay perma-nently in America.
“It is unconscionablefor our Federal Govern-ment to end the DACA pro-gram, deporting hundredsof thousands and causingirreparable harm to ourcommunities and oureconomy. These are realpeople contributing toOhio, and they need ourhelp. For their sake, for thesake of our communities,for the sake of our economy,I urge your support of HCR15,” concluded Ramos.
Republican Sen. JohnCornyn of Texas said usingthe so-called “omnibus”spending bill to resolve thestatus of DREAMers was “thepipe dream of some Demo-crats.”
“It’s more likely than notto be part of a January-Febru-ary time frame,” Cornyn saidof dealing with immigrationlegislation.
Immigrant advocates havebeen pushing for action. InSeptember, Democratic lead-ers said they had a deal withTrump to enshrine protectionsfor the immigrants in ex-change for border securitymeasures short of a borderwall. But the supposed dealimmediately came into dis-pute and now appears to havetotally unraveled if it existedat all.
Still, the Senate’s topDemocrat voiced optimism.
“There’s good Republi-can support for DACA and Ithink we can get it done,”said New York Sen. ChuckSchumer, using the short-hand for the Deferred Actionfor Childhood Arrivals(DACA) program.
Rep. Joe Crowley, D-N.Y.,reminded Republicans thatthey need Democratic votesto pass the spending bill thatexpires in December or face ashutdown.
“Unless Republicans cankeep the government openwithout Democratic votes,this is not their decision tomake,” Crowley said. “I haveyet to see any evidence thatthey will be able to do that.”
Democrate Rep. LuisGutiérrez, D-Ill., said Repub-
licans are trying to take awaysomething that Democratssecured and trade for bor-der security and other itemsthey couldn’t get otherwise.
“I’ve been at this a longtime and I’m not going toallow you to trade against again and something that wehave accomplished asAmericans. It took a lot ofwork to get,” Gutiérrez said.“We got it done. And weshould fight for it.”
Cotton said helpingthose in the Deferred Ac-tion for Childhood Arriv-als program needs to comewith measures designed toenhance enforcement ofthe nation’s immigrationlaws as well as ending whathe called “chain migra-tion,” where U.S. citizensor lawful permanent resi-dents sponsor family mem-bers to join them in theU.S. Cotton said that un-der the change he seeks,sponsors would only beable to get green cards fortheir spouse and their mi-nor children.
“Ending chain migra-tion is essential to a DACAcompromise, in my opin-ion,” Cotton said.
The president tweetedon the topic of immigra-tion shortly after the meet-ing, but didn’t mention theDACA program. Instead,he focused on Cotton’sconcern.
“Congress must endchain migration so that wecan have a system that isSECURITY BASED! Weneed to make AMERICASAFE!” Trump tweeted.

empresarios”, dijo.El Comité motiva a los
empresarios a solicitar todotipo de recursos. “Tal vez alinicio es complicado porqueno entienden el proceso, peropoco a poco se vanfamiliarizando y después lohacen fácilmente. Esimportante que soliciten todotipo de recursos porque si seinscriben a tres o cuatro,tienen más posibilidades deobtener al menos uno.Además, eso hace que lasinstituciones se den cuenta dela gran demanda que existe ennuestra comunidad y losobliga a verse en la necesidadde traducir los documentos”.
El servicio que ofrece estaalianza es gratuito y cualquierpersona interesada en abrir unnegocio puede acudir a pedirinformes. “Hasta el momento,no hemos encontrado a unapersona que no podamosayudar. Somos variasorganizaciones y entre todasnos apoyamos”, agregó laentrevistada, quien adelantóque ya se encuentrantrabajando también con laCámara de ComercioHispana. “Ellos tienen muchainformación y contactos, encambio para nosotros eltrabajo es nuevo; es por esoque estamos viendo cómo nosapoyamos”
La alianza El Comité surgecon la intensión de cubrir lanecesidad de información enespañol. “Tengo cuatro añostrabajando en Global Detroity cuando ayudábamos a lagente a comprar casa, nosdábamos cuenta que muchosquerían estar en el corredor denegocios para poder iniciaralgo propio. Fue entoncescuando decidimosorientarlos para queconocieran los recursos quetiene el Estado yacompañarlos en el procesoporque es más fácil querealicen la solicitud connosotros, nos tienen laconfianza. De esa manera,recaudamos sus documentosy cuando hay un nuevorecurso metemos la solicitudde inmediato”.
Global Detroit comenzócon esta iniciativa y despuésse fueron uniendo las de otrasorganizaciones hasta formarEl Comité. “Todas y cada unade la organizaciones tenemosdiferentes recursos para apoyara la comunidad, es por eso queen lugar de que cada quien
trabaje por su lado, el añopasado decidimos reunirnospara saber si todos estábamosinteresados en trabajar juntosporque si hay competenciano se puede, tenemos que iren una sola dirección.Afortunadamente luego devarios encuentros,desarrollamos un plan detrabajo y de esa manera escomo creamos la alianza”.
Iniciaron ofreciendoplaticas informativas conespecialistas en diferentestemas; sin embargo poco apoco se fueron dando cuentaque el tema que se ofrecía nosiempre era de interés paratodos los asistentes, ya quelas necesidades erandiferentes. Desde enero hastajunio de 2017, El Comitéorganizo ferias de recursos ydescubrió que se necesita másentrenamiento de uno-a-unopara los hablantes de española través del proceso desolicitud.

CLEVELAND, November6, 2017: Detractors may havecalled it “The Mistake on theLake” but its other monikershave included “America’sComeback City” and “TheBest Location in the Nation,”so what is the real Cleveland,Ohio?
In the new book Believ-ing in Cleveland, J. MarkSouther discusses the oftencomplex national image ofthe consummate rust beltcity, while also chroniclinghow local leaders used im-agery and rhetoric to com-bat and, at times, accommo-date urban and economicdecline.
Souther, professor of his-tory at Cleveland State Uni-versity, explores Cleveland’spath through the 20th cen-tury, including its reign asone of the U.S.’s most promi-nent metropolises and its fightagainst urban decay anddeindustrialization. This in-cludes a comprehensive re-view of the city’s overall de-cline in the postwar era, itscauses, and how the localgovernment’s often inad-
CLEVELAND, Nov.2017: Cuyahoga County’sSkillUp service was recog-nized by the BrookingsInstitution’s MetropolitanPolicy Program as a best prac-tice in their Help Wanted re-port addressing Middle Mar-ket company challenges.
“We have thousands ofgood jobs that are open be-cause employers say theycan’t find employees withthe right skills and training,”said Cuyahoga County Ex-ecutive Armond Budish.“Our new SkillUp servicehelps our residents build re-warding and successful ca-reers. SkillUp is a nationally-recognized tool to help our
residents get the added train-ing needed to obtain a greatjob. The County will helppeople in entry level jobs moveup by subsidizing additionaltraining. SkillUp helps fulfillone of my key strategic priori-ties – to make our region’sworkforce a competitive ad-vantage.”
SkillUp helps employersaddress their skill needs byproviding capacity, resources,and expertise – particularlyvaluable for middle marketcompanies. One of the two ini-tiatives featured in the report,SkillUp helps employers cre-ate advancement opportuni-ties as worker skills increase,and reimburses employers for
approved training andcredentialing costs.
Since the initiative’slaunch in February 2017, theSkillUp advisory team hasprovided personalized train-ing solutions to 38 employ-ers in Cuyahoga County. Ad-ditionally, participatingworkers have experiencedannualized median wage in-creases of about $2,600, whilethe County has received in-creased annual taxable in-come yielding at least twiceits investment.

equate responseadded to the chal-lenges, while re-inforcing a grow-ing sense of com-munity malaise.
He also showshow the cityworked to re-shape its imagewhile revitaliz-ing its economy,bolstered by theopening of theRock and Roll Hall of Fame,the rise of the local health caresector, and recent sports teamvictories.
“Cleveland went througha long, difficult period that hasdirectly impacted how the citysees itself and how it is per-ceived nationally,” Southersays. “It entered the postwarworld as [US-]America’s sixthlargest city and one of its lead-ing industrial meccas, then lostalmost everything, includingits economic position, a sig-nificant portion of its popula-tion and most importantly civicpride.”
But rather than just tell atale of decline, Souther seeks
to show how thecity and its citi-zens grappledwith its negativenational imageand searched forsigns of a turn-around. He dem-onstrates that thecity’s trajectoryhas been less apath from declineto revitalizationthan an ongoing
struggle to manage its long-term economic transition.
“As we look at the recentspate of good news aboutCleveland, we would do wellto recall how fragile and un-even the current comebackreally is. Over the last decadeCleveland has certainlymade great strides toward re-vitalizing, but history showsthat we have been similarlybullish in the past, only tomeet disappointment,”Souther adds. “Through thisbook I want to sound a cau-tionary note about overreli-ance on image campaigns.”
The book is published byTemple University Press.

SANTIAGO DE CHILE, 25X 17 (AP): La justicia de Chileabsolvió el miércoles a oncemapuches acusados del ataquea un matrimonio de ancianosque falleció quemado luegode que los indígenaspresuntamente incendiaran sucasa. El caso ha despertadoconmoción desde que sucedióen 2013.
El tribunal de Temuco, alsur del país, sustentó sudecisión alegandoinsuficiencia de pruebas. Losjueces dictaminaron porunanimidad que no podíandemostrar el “carácterterrorista” de los hechos -comose señaló en un inicio- niacreditar “un plan elaborado”que presionaría a losagricultores de la zona paraabandonar sus predios odesatar temor entre lapoblación.
Aunque la mayoría de lasmás de 2.000 comunidadesmapuches de Chile sonpacíficas, unas 200 se rebelanpara reclamar tierras queaseguran pertenecieron a susantepasados y enconsecuencia realizan ataquesa estructuras, quemancamiones y sembradíos.
La decisión del miércolesno fue aplaudida por todos.Tras anunciarse, el FiscalNacional, Jorge Abott, dijoque “hay aquí un fracaso porparte del Estado, que no pudo
dar una respuesta adecuada alas víctimas de uno de loscrímenes más atroces que sehan cometido desde la vueltaa la democracia (en 1990)”.
Por su parte, el abogado delmatrimonio Luchsinger-MacKay, Carlos Tenorio,aseguró que hubo presionespolíticas durante el juicio paraabsolver a los inculpados,aunque no dio más detalles.
Los once mapuchesacusados fueron detenidos elprimer semestre de este año,aunque antes pasaron porperíodos de arrestodomiciliario. Entre ellos estála machi o autoridad religiosaindígena Francisca Linconao,que siempre ha negado suparticipación en el crimen.Varios de los acusados pasaronpor períodos de huelgas dehambre.
La residencia del matrimo-nio fue atacada la noche del 4de enero de 2013. VivianMacKay pidió ayudatelefónica a uno de sus hijos ya la policía, que grabaron losúltimos gritos de auxilio de lamujer poco antes de morirquemada y en el audiotambién se escucha un disparocontra su esposo.
Cuando la familia llegó allugar, la casa estaba reducidaa cenizas y empezaron abuscar a los ancianos, sin sa-ber que estaban calcinadosentre los restos.
Los Luchsinger-MacKaypertenecen a una familia delatifundistas cuyos conflictoscon los indígenas, al igual quelos de otros clanes quellegaron principalmente deEuropa, datan de comienzosdel siglo XX. Aunque lastierras del matrimonio enVilcún, 695 kilómetros al surde Santiago, no figuran en lasdemandadas históricas de losmapuches, sí están loslatifundios de sus familiares.De hecho, un mapuche fueasesinado por la espalda porun policía en terrenos de unprimo del matrimonio.
Vilcún forma parte de LaAraucanía, una región delsur chileno donde habitanmapuches pobre y hay vastosterritorios que pertenecían alos indígenas desde antes dela conquista Española, en elsiglo XV. Aunque losmapuches pelearon contra losconquistadores durante casitres siglos, el Estado chilenoluego los atacó y desplazócon armas de fuego hacia elsur. La policía custodiaextensas tierras de LaAraucanía ante el temor desus dueños o por haberrecibido amenazas.
Actualmente la mayoría delas tierras, ubicadas a unos 700kilómetros al sur de Santiago,están en manos de grandesforestales, dueños de fincas yempresas de transportes.
Chile: absuelven a indígenas mapuchesvinculados a asesinatoPor EVA VERGARA, Associated Press
Nov. 4, 2017: ToledoMayor Paula Hicks-Hudson and Police ChiefGeorge Kral signed anagreement two years inthe making with Latinoand African-Americanleaders during a Saturdaynoon ceremony at theFarm Labor OrganizingCommittee (FLOC) head-quarters, 1221 Broad-way. About 60 were inattendance.
The Community Codeof Conduct agreementwith the Black and BrownCoalition calls for bothsides to do better withpolice-community rela-tions in Toledo, includ-ing assisting police by re-porting crimes and morerespectful behavior in en-counters between offic-ers and citizens of color.
“We want to lift up thepolice. We want a goodrelationship with the po-lice,” said BaldemarVelásquez, FLOC presi-dent and founder. “Wewant the police to protectus, too, particularlycrimes committed againstimmigrants in this city. Alot of times those can’t bereported because of fearof deportation. Let usmove forward in trying tosecure the neighborhoodsand have good coopera-tion with the police tomake the police the bestpolice department in thecountry.”
The Code of Conduct,in part, requires commu-nity members to cooper-ate with police in theirinvestigations throughrespectful behavior, keep-ing their hands in plainsight, and not engagingin excessive movementthat police officers can-not monitor during a traf-fic stop.
Under the five-pageagreement, citizens areguaranteed the right torequest a police officer’sname and badge number,as well as to record trafficstops on cell phones. Inreturn, the document callsfor community members
to “act diligently” to helpidentify criminal behaviorand help keep their neigh-borhoods safe. Officers willbe encouraged to spend atleast an hour during theirshift on foot patrol to get toknow their beat and thepeople who live there.
“We always say ‘if yousee something, say some-thing,’ but what I hear frompeople, citizens is that ‘I’mafraid to talk to the policebecause they don’t under-stand,’” said Mayor Hicks-Hudson. “This is going tohelp us truly understand whatthe police go through, whatthey face when they comeinto a situation and what weas citizens don’t understandand what we are facing as wecome into these situations.”
The police departmenthas agreed to ensure officersremain calm and use de-es-calation techniques. Streetcops won’t use force againstpeople who are handcuffedor otherwise restrained “un-less it is objectively reason-able and necessary. Policeofficers also won’t use forceagainst people in verbal con-frontations.
“We are already doingprobably 90 percent of thethings that are in this docu-ment,” said Toledo PoliceChief George Kral. “Wehave FLOC come out to ev-ery one of our academyclasses for a couple of hoursto talk specifically about ourHispanic community. Wecan do all the canned diver-sity training we want, but wewanted sometime Toledo-specific.”
“The de-escalation ap-proach goes both ways. It’snot just the officers de-esca-lating, it’s the communitymembers de-escalating aswell,” said Velásquez. “Weboth have to be smart.”
The preamble of the Codeof Conduct states that bothsides “value the diversityamong us and are committedto treating one another withfairness, respect, and cour-tesy.”
Velásquez thankedMayor Hicks-Hudson for“helping us navigate this to
a conclusion” and statedthe mayor has “specialinsight into our neigh-borhoods.” He also cred-ited the mayor for get-ting the minority com-munity aboard the agree-ment to work with thepolice department “andget them to understandwho we are, know whowe are engage them on aone-to-one basis.”
“I am grateful that weare continuing to the takethe steps to make ourcommunity truly a com-munity, not a place ofneighborhoods or differ-ences,” said MayorHicks-Hudson. “Beingable to come together atthe table and work to-ward a solution. We cantake care of our commu-nity in partnership withthe police, not pointingfingers, but holdinghands and working tostrive for the solutions todeal with the issues.”
“The real work is go-ing to begin now. This isthe talking part. This isthe covenant part,” saidVelásquez. “Now’s theactual part. We have ajob to do to have forumsin our community withour members. Every(FLOC Homies Union)membership meetingwe’re going to go throughthe community members(code of) conduct—howwe conduct ourselves.”
Others participatingin the signing ceremonyincluded: Ray Wood,Toledo Chapter NAACP;Dave Fleetwood, LIUNALocal 500; Bishop Rob-ert Culp, Toledo Com-munity Coalition; AlinaHernández, FLOCHomies Union; SabinaSerratos, Latins United;Sonja Durán, FLOC Lo-bos; and George Tucker,Northwest Ohio AFL-CIO.
