SAN JUAN, 9 XI 17 (AP):La destrucción causada por elhuracán María desata unangustioso debate entreamigos, parientes ycompañeros de trabajo acercade si es aceptable desde unpunto de vista moral irse de laisla o hay una obligaciónpatriótica de quedarse y ayudara reconstruirla.
Más de 140.000puertorriqueños se han idodesde la tormenta del 20 deseptiembre y algunos expertospronostican que les podríanseguir más de 300.000 en losdos próximos años. Esto sesumaría a otro éxodo deproporciones similaresocurrido en la última décadacomo consecuencia de unaferoz crisis económica, querepresentó una enorme pérdidade población para esta isla de3.400.000 de habitantes.
Muchos de los que partenhacen frente a lasrecriminaciones de suscompatriotas, que los acusande abandonar su patria cuandomás los necesita.
Nilsa Montes, meseradesempleada, dijo que susamigos y su familia a menudohablan mal de quienes se hanido.
“Siempre se les criticaporque dicen, ‘Ah, no tequedaste’”, señaló. “Yo no memudo porque yo no me quito(no me rindo)”.
La consigna de quedarseen Puerto Rico y colaborar enla reconstrucción ha generadoun movimiento sociocultural,con la misma consigna queusó Montes: “Yo no me quito”.
Esas cuatro palabras se hantransformado en un popularhashtag que se usa en las redessociales junto a fotos depuertorriqueños quereconstruyen viviendas,distribuyen comida y agua osimplemente descansan en laplaya. Algunos que se fueron oplanean irse comentan que sequedarían si alguien les diesetrabajo, electricidad o agua.
La consigna “yo no mequito” es tan fuerte que cuandoDenise Centeno, que dirige elcentro de Consejería FamiliasHispana de Orlando, Florida,hizo escuchar el tema “IslaBendita” entonado por uncantante que incluyó esascuatro palabras, generó unainesperada reacción de susclientes.
“La gente que vino dePuerto Rico estaba llorandocon una culpabilidad hor-rible”, relató. “Se sienten comoque, ‘Ay, me quité (me fui), yoquería quedarme’. Eso pues sí,hiere”.
En una reciente cadena decomentarios en Twitter sobrelos méritos de quedarse o irse,un puertorriqueño escribió:
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 9,2017 (AP): A federal judgehas barred the Marion CountySheriff’s Office from detain-ing people in Indianapolisbased solely on requests byimmigration officials.
U.S. District Judge SarahEvans Barker’s injunctionexcludes immigration caseswhere there is a warrant orprobable cause.

WASHINGTON, DC, 9 XI17 (AP): Una veintena delegisladores republicanosexhortaron al presidente de lacámara baja Paul Ryan eljueves a tomar medidasrápidamente para la protecciónde unos 800.000 jóvenes quefueron llevados a EstadosUnidos sin autorizacióncuando eran niños.
Los legisladores dijeronque la medida para protegerlosde la deportación seríaaprobada fácilmente por lacámara, ya que decenas derepublicanos se sumarían a losdemócratas en la votación.
Estos inmigrantes seencuentran en una situaciónincierta desde que el presidenteDonald Trump anunció queanularía las proteccionestemporarias otorgadas por elgobierno de Barack Obama ydio plazo al Congreso hastamarzo para hallar una solución.
En una respuesta minutosdespués, Ryan dijo que serealizaban discusiones sobreel tema, pero que noconsideraba necesario actuarantes del plazo fijado porTrump. “No creo que debemosincluir plazos artificialesdentro del que ya tenemos”,afirmó.
Los demócratas, que sonminoría en la cámara, hanpresionado reiteradamente paraque se apruebe una medidalegislativa. Esta muestra deapoyo de algunosrepublicanos, varios de loscuales vienen de distritosdonde las bancas están enjuego, indica un virajepolítico.
El republicano DanNewhouse, de Washington,
“Ustedes, lxs que se fueron,huyan de la ‘catástrofe’ quequienes nos quedamos,levantaremos la bandera aúnmás alta de lo que ya está”.
La gente que se fue cree quelas críticas son injustas.
Carlos Rodríguez, un guardiadesempleado y paramédicovoluntario, se fue con su esposay sus dos hijas a la parte conti-nental de Estados Unidos el 2 denoviembre, dejando su casa enCayey, localidad ubicada en lasotrora frondosas montañas delcentro de la isla. La familiaperdió la vivienda y un autodurante la tormenta y ahoraduerme en sillones de la casa deun pariente en Providence,Rhode Island, mientras buscanun sitio permanente para vivir yun trabajo para Rodríguez. Suspadres, no obstante, se quedaronen Puerto Rico.
“Usted no sabe cuántoquisiera poder ayudar a mi fa-milia”, declaró Rodríguez enuna entrevista telefónica desdeProvidence. “Estoy aquítratando de hacer eso”.
María derribó árboles ydestruyó casas y el tendidoeléctrico durante 12 horasinacabables, con vientos dehasta 247 kilómetros (154millas) por hora. Buena parte dePuerto Rico, que es un territorioestadounidense, sigue sin luz yel 15% de la población no tieneagua corriente más de un mesdespués del huracán. Es elapagón más prolongado en lahistoria de Estados Unidos y lasautoridades dicen que los dañostotales podrían ascender a entre45.000 y 95.000 millones dedólares, en una isla que yaenfrentaba una recesión de 11años.
El éxodo que comenzódespués del huracán tendrá supropio impacto económico,según el economista JoaquínVillamil, presidente y CEO deEstudios Técnicos, una firmaconsultora de temaseconómicos.
“Tiene un efecto terrible”,señaló, destacando que lasventas al por menor ya bajarony que al disminuir la población,se pagarán menos impuestos yvarios sectores se veránafectados, incluido el de lavivienda. “No sólo va a ser unapoblación más vieja, sinotambién una población máspobre”.
Los profesionales parten aun ritmo alarmante y la islapodría sufrir un descenso en supoblación del 25% entre el 2000y el 2025. Quedarían paraentonces 3.000.000 de perso-nas, si no menos, comparadocon los 3.800.000 de hace dosdécadas, indicó Villamil.
“Es un problema muy serio”,afirmó. “El ‘demographic tran-sition’ (la transicióndemográfica) va a ser el ‘driver’
(motor) de lo que pase aquí entérminos económicos ysociales”.
El debate acerca de si irseo quedarse tiene sus raíces enel status de Puerto Rico comoterritorio estadounidense. Sibien la isla no es un estado,los puertorriqueños tienenpasaporte estadounidense ypueden entrar y salir avoluntad, pero muchossienten una identificacióncon la isla equivalente a unorgullo nacional.
“Debemos de quedarnosaquí y ayudarnos los unos alos otros. ¿Por qué huyen delproblema?”, preguntóSharon Velázquez, ama decasa que vive con su familiaen la municipalidadoccidental de San Lorenzo,una de las más golpeadas porel huracán María. “Nosotrosno nos quitamos... Hay queseguir luchando”.
Esta batalla no es nuevaen Puerto Rico. En la últimadécada se fueron mediomillón de personas comoconsecuencia de la crisiseconómica, según un informedel Centro de EstudiosPuertorriqueños del HunterCollege de Nueva York.
“Desde hace varios añosque hay ciertoresentimiento”, declaró LuisMartínez Fernández, profesorde historia de la Universidaddel Centro de la Florida, quese enfoca en la culturapuertorriqueña. “Los másinflexibles en la postura deque hay que quedarseadoptaron posiciones másintransigentes todavía”.
De los más de 140.000puertorriqueños que se creese fueron desde la tormenta,más de 130.000 recalaron enla Florida. Los demásterminaron mayormente enPensilvania, Texas, NuevaYork y Nueva Jersey,indicaron investigadores delHunter College. En estegrupo figuran unos 14.000estudiantes de escuelaspúblicas, de acuerdo con lasecretaria de educación JuliaKeleher.
Ivone Nieves, profesora,se pasó tres días trabajandocon agua hasta los tobillostras el paso de María, hastaque decidió irse a Orlando.Llegó el 1ro de noviembre yespera el arribo de su pareja ysus cuatro hijos el 4 deoctubre.
La familia se quedó sonagua y sin luz, y Nieves diceque quiere un futuro mejorpara sus hijos. Aseguró queya ha recibido dos ofertas detrabajo.
“Desde cualquier puntode los Estados Unidospodemos levantar a la isla”,manifestó.
dijo en la conferencia de prensaen el Capitolio que el objetivode las declaraciones es alentara Ryan y “tal vez presionarloun poco para que presente unasolución aceptable para lamayoría republicanos”.
Su correligionario texanoJoe Barton pronosticó quetendrá amplio respaldo en lacámara de 435 bancas.
“Cuando el proyecto sesometa a votación, cualquieraque sea, pronostico que tendráuna amplia mayoría”, dijoBarton. “Mucho más de 300votos para enviar el proyectoal Senado”.
Newhouse dijo que incluirla protección de deportaciónen un proyecto de gastos parafin de año con el fin de mantenerel gobierno en funcionamientono es la opción preferida. Peroañadió que muchos estarían afavor de ella si fuera necesariopara aprobar la medida.
R e p r e s e n t a n t e sconservadores advirtieron aRyan el mes pasado que no lohiciera.
Trump y los senadoresrepublicanos acordaron el mespasado no incluir la medida deprotección de los jóvenesinmigrantes en el proyecto degastos, de acuerdo conlegisladores que visitaron laCasa Blanca. La solucióntendrá que esperar al añopróximo, dijeron.
Los demócratas hanindicado que quieren usar elproyecto de gastos para obligara tomar medidas en beneficiode los jóvenes, llamadoscomúnmente “dreamers”,sobre la base de la Ley para elDesarrollo, Asistencia yEducación para Menores
Extranjeros, conocida comoley DREAM, queproporcionaba proteccionessimilares.
Puesto que probablementese necesitarán votosdemócratas para aprobar la leyde gastos que mantenga algobierno en funcionamiento,la posición de Trump y losrepublicanos podría noimponerse.
“No incluir un proyecto deinmigración en el proyectogeneral ni ningún otro proyectode aprobación obligatoria en2017”, dijo el senadorrepublicano Tom Cottonluego de la reunión de lasemana pasada con Trump. “Élestuvo de acuerdo, lo mismoque la conducción del Senadoy, creo, la amplia mayoría delos senadores republicanos”.
John Cornyn, senadorrepublicano por Texas, dijoque resolver el estatus de losinmigrantes por medio delproyecto de gastos es “lafantasía de algunosdemócratas”.
“Lo más probable es que (eltema de los inmigrantes) setrate entre enero y febrero”,añadió.
Los defensores de losinmigrantes han presionadopara que se tomen medidas. Enseptiembre, la dirigenciademócrata dijo que tenía unacuerdo con Trump paraconsagrar la protección deinmigrantes a cambio demedidas de seguridadfronterizas que no incluyeranun muro. Pero el supuestoacuerdo quedóinmediatamente en entredichoy parece haber fracasado, si esque existió.

• High blood pressureredefined for firsttime in 14 years: 130is the new high
High blood pressure is nowdefined as readings of 130 mmHg and higher for the systolicblood pressuremeasurement, orreadings of 80 andhigher for the di-astolic measure-ment. That is achange from theold definition of140/90 and higher, reflectingcomplications that can occurat those lower numbers.
In the first update to com-prehensive U.S. guidelines onblood pressure detection andtreatment since 2003, the cat-egory of prehypertension iseliminated.
While about 14 percentmore people will be diag-nosed with high blood pres-sure and counseled aboutlifestyle changes, there willonly be a small increase inthose who will be prescribedmedication. By loweringthe definition of high bloodpressure, the guidelines rec-ommend earlier interven-tion to prevent further in-creases in blood pressure
and the complications ofhypertension.

TOLEDO: When she’s notwailing into a microphone orstrumming her guitar or orga-nizing one of the region’s big-gest fundraisers, Nicole Khouryis defending clients in court.That unique combinationhelped her win a seat on theToledo Municipal Court[TMC] bench during the Nov.7, 2017 general election.
On that date, Ms. Khourydefeated former reporter andfellow attorney Dale Emch andattorney Hank John Schaeferfor municipal court judge by awide margin, 23,711 to 18, 683(Mr. Emch) and 2,783 (Mr.Schaefer) [unofficial results].
In the other contested To-ledo Municipal Court judge-ship race, Joe Howe defeatedJim Anderson by 144 votes[20, 629 to 20, 485, unofficialresults]. The other two TMCjudgeship races were uncon-tested [incumbent Michelle A.Wagner received 33,628 votesand incumbent Timothy C.Kuhlman received 31,724votes, unofficial results].
Ms. Khoury—a first-timepolitical candidate—is aprominent local defense attor-ney and public defender whofrequently has represented cli-ents in the court where she willnow preside.
“Overwhelmed, emotional,relieved, excited, scared” arethe adjectives she used to de-scribe her feelings followingher judicial victory. She lik-ened the margin of victory topassing the bar exam, stating“you don’t really care unlessyou pass.” Her confidence rosewhen the early voting num-bers came in and she wasn’tlosing by much. She took a
commanding lead once theprecincts began reporting.
“We ran such a beautifullyclean, non-political campaign.People keep asking us how wedid it,” she said. “The fact is, wehad nobody who’s ever donethis before, working together.I think that’s what we neededin this day and age and time. Ithink people are tired of all thepolitics and the crap. We’verun this no different than I’verun anything else in my life,like a charity event. We gotgood people together that be-lieved in me and believed inmy ability to do the job.”
Ms. Khoury stated her be-lief to La Prensa that her can-didacy drew people to a judi-cial race who don’t normallybother to vote for who sits onthe bench. She estimated herTMC race drew thousandsmore votes than the one forTMC housing court [Howe vs.Anderson].
“The music community andall of their people and peoplewho’ve come up to me andsaid they’ve seen the band orthe charity people—folks whohave never voted for judge be-fore came out and voted,” shesaid. “The very first thing I saidwhen I decided to run was Iwanted to bring attention to ajudicial campaign because no-body cares.”
Ms. Khoury explained thatshe believes her views are re-flective of the community—many conservative, but somesocially progressive. While sheattended the conservativeHillsdale College in Hillsdale,Michigan, she believes peoplejust “want to get along and livetheir lives and do charitable
things because we want to andnot because we have to.”
Public Defender for 16years
Ms. Khoury spent 16 yearsat the public defender’s officein Lucas County. She also haspracticed in Maumee andSylvania municipal courts, aswell as Lucas County Com-mon Pleas Court, wherefelony cases are lodged.
“I’ve done this for a reallylong time. I’ve worked in thesecourts since before I becamean attorney because I was anintern there. Municipal courtis something that’s really im-portant to me,” she said in apre-election radio interview.“That is a court for people likeus. It’s a place where any oneof us can find ourselves at anytime. In that amount of time,I’ve been able to affect andhelp thousands and thousandsof people. Once in a while youget these great success storiesand that means something tome.”
Rock-n-Roller andcommunity activist
Ms. Khoury is the leadsinger and guitarist for ArcticClam, a rock cover band thathas gained a popular follow-ing on the Toledo nightcluband special event scene overthe past several years. ArcticClam has opened the show atconcert fundraisers for record-ing artists Joan Jett and theBlackhearts, Skid Row, RustedRoot, John Waite, Berlin, andGeorge Clinton and Parlia-ment.
Ms. Khoury is the orga-nizer and driving force be-
hind the annualmusic fundraiser—a day-longfundraiser held ev-ery March to ben-efit the nonprofitgroup Project iAm.Ms. Khoury co-founded the organi-zation—Acousticsfor Autism—tofund the needs offamilies with anautistic child.
“My range ofsupport is so vastand so diverse andthat’s what’s impor-tant to me,” she said. “It’s im-portant to me to go in as ajudicial candidate or a judgejust for one group and try toappeal to them. I want to ap-peal to everybody that I’m fair,I’m impartial, I’m independentand I think outside of the box.I don’t fit myself within one.”
Thoughts on drug courtsLucas County Common
Pleas Court currently operatesa drug court as a last-ditch ef-fort to keep addicts from serv-ing a long prison sentence,usually for committing majorcrimes to feed their habit. To-ledo Municipal Court cur-rently has no such opportunityfor low-level offenders.
“My philosophy is that Idon’t believe municipal courtis the place for a drug court, butthere are tools that you can usethat accomplishes a similarthing,” she said.
Ms. Khoury is proposingsome solutions to the “opioidepidemic” and a related explo-sion of misdemeanor cases inmunicipal court similar to what
she says have been working incourtrooms in Sylvania andMaumee that she described as“a little bit different and a littlemore creative.”
“Heroin and the opiatesdon’t have time to wait for one(a drug court) to get estab-lished,” she said. “I’ve got ideasthat makes it more hands-on asa pseudo-type of drug court,but that doesn’t require anddoesn’t need special funding. Itjust is a matter of the judgedoing it. I work with thesepeople every day and I knowthat they’re not going ‘to getclean’ unless they are ready ‘toget clean’ and they want ‘to getclean.’”
The judge-elect believesthat placing the responsibilityon the defendant to want ‘to getclean’ is what’s important. Iffamily members or the courtintervenes, as a rule, an addicteddefendant will do what’s neces-sary or required, but quicklyrelapse time and again. Shestated defendants “go throughthe motions to stay out of jail.”Ms. Khoury stated a defendant
must want to beat an addic-tion before anything lastingwill take place.
“An addict isn’t going toget clean unless they want to.I’ve been with far too many ofthem and tried to help toomany of them,” she said. “It’sfinally about them gettingthe mindset that they’re readyto do it. That’s had a lot ofreally good success stories.You have to make it theirdecision.”
Ms. Khoury is proposingfor a judge to issue, for ex-ample, a 90-day jail sentenceto begin at a later date. Defen-dants would then have theopportunity to prove they’velived up to promises made ata sentencing hearing ‘to gettheir act together’—drugscreenings, rehab, getting ajob—to avoid going behindbars. A judge could then re-consider that sentence at aninformal proceeding.
“What I want to do is give,put a little more pressure onthem to want to do it by giv-ing them a jail sentence,” sheexplained. “But my office willbe open this week and if youwant to show me you’ve doneall the things you said stand-ing up at sentencing aboutwanting to get clean. If youcan show me and prove that tome, we’ll re-evaluate yoursentence. You’re makingthem responsible for wantingto get clean. The problem nowis we wait until they violateprobation before it ever comesback in front of a judge.”
Ms. Khoury, 40, ex-plained she has very tradi-tional views on how a

COLUMBUS, Nov. 9,2017: For the third consecu-tive year, the State of Ohiohas exceeded the goal of itsMinority Business Enter-prise (MBE) program by pur-chasing 23.65 percent ofeligible goods and servicesthrough certified minority-owned businesses, whilespending just over $305million.
Ohio’s MBE programmandates that state agenciesset aside 15 percent of itsannual purchases for goodsand services for certifiedminority-owned businesses.The program is not designedfor non-profit corporations.
“During the current ad-ministration, Ohio has madediversity among its suppli-ers standard business, meet-ing set-aside goals for thefirst time since the programwas established in 1980,when Governor Kasich wasa member of the Ohio Gen-eral Assembly,” said Gre-gory L. Williams, state equal
employment opportunity co-ordinator and deputy directorof the Equal Opportunity Di-vision of the Ohio Departmentof Administrative Services,which certifies businesses intothe MBE program.
“Our goal is to assist en-trepreneurs, through this pro-gram and others, to developtheir businesses to competein the broader marketplace,”Williams added.
Out of the eligible expen-ditures for goods and servicespurchased during FiscalYear (FY) 2017, a total of20.80 percent was set asidefor MBE-certified busi-nesses. Another 2.85 percentof eligible goods and ser-vices were purchased fromMBE-certified businessesthrough open-market con-tracts.
Ohio’s Equal Opportu-nity Division oversees theMBE program and helps toensure equal opportunityaccess to and fair treatmentin government contracting.
It strives to maximize con-tracting opportunitiesthrough certification of mi-nority-owned, women-owned and socially andeconomically disadvan-taged businesses.
“It’s aboutsustainability and creatingmore opportunities for allOhioans,” said Jeffrey L.Johnson, chief of the Mi-nority Business Develop-ment Division at the OhioDevelopment ServicesAgency. “By meeting thelaw, we continue to moveOhio forward in diversityand inclusion while grow-ing minority businessesacross the state.”

A L B U Q U E R Q U E ,N.M, Nov. 7, 2017. (AP): Amemo included in recentlyreleased John F. Kennedydocuments shows that theFBI was concerned aboutthe growing politicalpower of Latinos, histori-ans say.
Among the thousandsof documents released lastweek was a memo from anFBI informant who keptwatch on a Dallas chapterof the G.I. Forum—a mod-erate group of Mexican-American veterans whospoke out against discrimi-nation.
According to the 1963document, the informantclosely followed a chaptermeeting where membersexpressed concern aboutthe revival of a similar or-ganization, the League ofUnited Latin AmericanCitizens (LULAC).
The G.I. Forum mem-bers feared a public fightwith LULAC over mem-bership might make bothgroups powerless, andmembers discussed waysto keep tabs on LULACleadership.

Historians say the memogave a glimpse into the FBI’sconcern about the growingpolitical power of Latinos inTexas, New Mexico, Califor-nia, and Illinois and may alsoshow the FBI was working tocreate tensions among theLatino civil rights groups.
“We know that the FBIwas monitoring LULAC inthe 1940s and 1950s. Butthis appears to show they weremore worried about all of thegroups’ growing influence,”said Emilio Zamora, a Uni-versity of Texas history pro-fessor. “Even though thesegroups were moderate, theFBI was worried becausethey were Mexican. In theireyes, they could becomeradicalized at any time.”

NEW YORK, Nov. 9,2017 (AP): The Trumpadministration’s decision tophase out a program protect-ing some young immigrantscan be open to judicial re-view, a federal judge in NewYork ruled Thursday.
The ruling by U.S. Dis-trict Judge NicholasGaraufis allows two lawsuitsagainst the new policy to stayalive pending an appeal.
Last month, a federal ap-peals court in Manhattan di-rected the lower court to de-cide whether judges can re-view the decision to end the
Deferred Action for Child-hood Arrivals program(DACA).
Activists are suing the gov-ernment in New York, Califor-nia, the District of Columbiaand Maryland. DACA has pro-tected about 800,000 peoplewho were brought to the U.S.illegally as children or camewith families that overstayedvisas.
Garaufis found that thegovernment’s “argument thatthe decision to rescind theDACA program is unreview-able ... is unpersuasive.” Thejudge also rejected claims by
Department of Justice law-yers that the decision consti-tutes “an exercise of enforce-ment discretion” that is im-mune from judicial review.
In arguments before theappeals court last month,Deputy Assistant AttorneyGeneral Hashim M.Mooppan accused lawyersfighting the government ofengaging in a “massive fish-ing expedition” for docu-ments and testimony to useto improperly disclose de-tails of decision-making atthe highest levels of federalgovernment.

WASHINGTON, DC, 8de noviembre 2017 (AP):Los estadounidenses quequieran visitar Cuba deberántransitar por un complicadolaberinto de restriccionescomerciales, financieras y deviaje que presentó elmiércoles el gobierno delDonald Trump como partede una nueva política paraaislar aún más al gobiernode la isla.
A partir de ahora, estánfuera del alcance de losc i u d a d a n o sestadounidenses decenas dehoteles, comercios,compañías turísticas y otrosestablecimientos que seincluyen en un largo listadode entidades que tienennexos con el ejército cubanoy con los servicios deinteligencia o seguridad dela isla.
En Cuba, las autoridadesreaccionaron y lamentaronque las medidas endurezcanlas sanciones que desde hacecinco décadas pesan sobrela nación caribeña.
“Las medidas confirmanel serio retroceso que se haregistrado en las relacionesbilaterales a partir y comoresultado de las decisionesadoptadas por el gobiernodel presidente DonaldTrump”, dijo endeclaraciones a periodistasextranjeros la directora deEstados Unidos de laCancillería, Josefina Vidal.
Vidal indicó que por elcontrario, Cuba no tomaráacciones de represalia.
“Yo no preveoabsolutamente ningún tipode medida discriminatoria...ni sanciones de Cuba contralos estadounidenses, ni lasempresas estadounidenses”,agregó Vidal.
Una vez más, a la mayoríade los estadounidenses seles pedirá que viajen comoparte de grupos turísticosorganizados por compañíasde ese país que cuentan conestrictas regulaciones y nopodrán visitar Cuba demanera independiente.
Las estrictas medidasrepresentan el regreso de lasduras posturas de EstadosUnidos hacia Cuba queprevalecían hasta que el expresidente Barack Obama yel mandatario cubano RaúlCastro restauraron lasrelaciones diplomáticas en2015. El cambio de políticasse presenta en un momentoen el que el presidenteDonald Trump intentademostrar que está tomandomedidas para evitar que losdólares estadounidensesayuden a sostener algobierno cubano.
Sin embargo, laspolíticas representan tansolo un bloqueo parcial a loscambios instituidos porObama. Aún se permitiránlas visitas de cruceros y losvuelos comerciales directosentre ambos países. Lasembajadas en Washington yLa Habana permaneceránabiertas.
Las reglas estándiseñadas para alejar laeconomía estadounidensede los servicios militares deinteligencia y seguridad dela isla, que dominan granparte de la economía a travésde corporacionescontroladas por el Estado.El objetivo es alentar elrespaldo financiero al

creciente sector privado deCuba, señalaron altosfuncionarios del gobierno deTrump, quienes informaron alos reporteros bajo condiciónde conservar el anonimato.
Con ese objetivo, elDepartamento del Tesoro dijoque expandirá y simplificaráun permiso para algunase x p o r t a c i o n e sestadounidenses a Cuba a pesardel embargo. Se incluyenherramientas y equipo paraconstrucción y renovación deedificios privados.
“Hemos reforzado nuestraspolíticas hacia Cuba paradesviar la actividad económicade las fuerzas armadas cubanasy alentar al gobierno a otorgarmayores libertades políticas yeconómicas al pueblocubano”, dijo el secretario delTesoro, Steve Mnuchin.
Trump anunció en junio sunueva política durante undiscurso en el barrio de laPequeña Habana, de Miami,cuna de la resistencia cubano-estadounidense al régimen deCastro. Al gobierno le tomóvarios meses finalizar losdetalles de las nuevas reglas,que entrarán en vigor el jueves.
La nueva política mantienevarias categorías de viaje aCuba que son permitidas apesar del embargo, el cualsigue vigente décadas despuésdel fin de la Guerra Fría. Losestadounidenses aún puedenrealizar viajes educativos y“de pueblo a pueblo”, así comovisitas con el objetivo deapoyar al pueblo cubano alconsumir en pequeñosnegocios privados que hansurgido en toda la isla en losúltimos años.
Pero aquellos que viajenpara apoyar al pueblo cubanodeben contar con un itinerariode actividades de todo el díacon el objetivo de entrar encontacto con los cubanos ydirigir los dólares a losciudadanos al alquilarhabitaciones en viviendasprivadas, por ejemplo.Aquellos que realicen visitasorganizadas, educativas o “depueblo a pueblo”, deben estaracompañados de unrepresentante del grupo consede en Estados Unidos queorganiza el viaje.
Las agencias de viaje y lospartidarios de nexos másestrechos entre EstadosUnidos y Cuba no tardaron encriticar las nuevas reglas y enel caso del gobierno cubano,consideró “arbitraria” la listade los productos que se puedenconsumir en la isla y de claraintención “política” de lasmedidas.
“Cuba aún está abierta alpúblico”, dijo Charel vanDam, de Cuba Travel Network.“Aún es posible que las perso-nas viajen, pero creo que estosanuncios tienen el principalpropósito de ahuyentar a laspersonas que quieren ir”.
El senador demócrataPatrick Leahy, defensor derelaciones más estrechas entreEstados Unidos y Cuba,recalcó que el anuncio se da enun momento en el que Trumpse encuentra en China en buscade más acuerdos comercialescon otro país comunista.
“Es evidente la hipocresíade los ideólogos de la CasaBlanca”, señaló.
Las reglas se dan en unmomento de profunda tensiónen la relación bilateral que sederiva de ataques invisibles einexplicables que han
perjudicado a más de dosdecenas de trabajadores delgobierno estadounidense enla Habana desde 2016. Losataques provocaron que elgobierno de Trump ordenaraen septiembre que la mayoríade sus diplomáticos salierande Cuba y que emitiera unarecomendación en la queadvertía a losestadounidenses mantenerselejos de la isla.
Las autoridadesinsistieron en que las nuevasy estrictas reglas no tienenrelación con los ataques.Estados Unidos se quejóinicialmente con lasautoridades cubanas sobrelos ataques en febrero, cuatromeses después de que Trumpanunció sus intenciones decambiar las políticas.
Se harán algunasexcepciones para losestadounidenses que yatenían viajes planeados aCuba. Quedarán exentosaquellos que reservaronviajes “de pueblo a pueblo”antes de que Trump realizarasu anuncio de junio pasado,así como los queorganizaron viajeseducativos antes de que lasreglas entren en vigor eljueves. Se permitirá que secumplan los acuerdos queya se habían pactado con lasentidades que aparecen en lalista de establecimientosprohibidos.
No está claro qué tanagresivamente ejerceráEstados Unidos las nuevaspolíticas. Las autoridadesdijeron que utilizarían lainformación obtenida porvarias agencias para atrapara quienes infrinjan las leyes,quienes podrían quedarsujetos a sanciones yprocesos penales.
La lista de entidadesvedadas incluye a las grandesempresas regentadas por lasfuerzas armadas, comoGAESA y CIMEX, los hold-ings que controlan la mayorparte del sector minorista;Gaviota, la mayor compañíade turismo; y Habaguanex,la firma a cargo de La HabanaVieja.
También están vedadosun nuevo puerto de carga yuna zona especial decomercio en las afueras deMariel, que han sido el centrode los esfuerzos cubanos paraatraer inversiones enmanufactura y distribución.
La lista de hotelesvedados incluye el hotelManzana Kempinski,inaugurado con gran alardeeste año como el primero dela isla que cumple con lapauta internacional de cincoestrellas.
El impacto real sobre losnegocios estadounidensescon Cuba probablementeserá limitado, porque es depor sí escaso. La mayoría delos estadounidenses sealojan en hoteles que no estánen la lista, y la empresa queimporta la mayoría de losproductos alimentariosestadounidenses tampocosufrirá las consecuencias.
Aún se permite regresarcon cantidades limitadas deron y habanos, señalaron lasautoridades.

DETROIT, Nov. 8, 2017:The American Civil LibertiesUnion (ACLU) and partnerorganizations have filed abrief asking a federal court toorder the release of Iraqi na-tionals who have been de-tained for months by Immi-gration and Customs Enforce-ment [ICE].
The court previouslyblocked the deportation ofthe Iraqis — many of whomhave been in the U.S. for de-cades — until they’ve had ameaningful opportunity toprove to an immigration courtthat they face persecution,torture, and death if returnedto Iraq.
Despite this ruling, anddespite the fact that the Iraqiswere living in the commu-nity for many years before,ICE has refused to releasethem and almost all remaindetained indefinitely.
“The government cannotlock people up without a rea-son, but ICE has done justthat. These individuals havelived and worked in theircommunities, some for de-cades, and there is no reasonthey should not be home withtheir children and back at their

UT and UTMC are EO/AA employers andeducators M/F/D/V
jobs while their casestake months and yearsto work their waythrough our legal sys-tem,” said MiriamAukerman, ACLU ofMichigan senior staff attorney.
People in immigration pro-ceedings cannot be detainedunless the government is likelyto remove them soon, and can-not be detained for prolongedperiods without an individualassessment of whether theypresent a flight risk or are adanger to their community.
The brief charges ICE isillegally refusing to release theIraqis even though it couldtake many months or even yearsfor their cases to be decided,and that it is detaining themwithout any individualized de-termination of whether theirincarceration is justified.
Those with removal or-ders—who are detained formore than 90 days—are en-titled to an individualized re-view that addresses similar fac-tors. However, instead of ameaningful review, the briefargues that Iraqi nationals haveeither been subject to blanketdenials and extensions of theirdetention or they have not re-
ceived a review at all.“The Trump administra-
tion is shamefully prolong-ing the agony of these Iraqifamilies in the hopes that theyvoluntarily give up their im-migration cases. It’s time forthe court to once again step inand say enough,” said JudyRabinovitz, deputy directorof the ACLU’s Immigrants’Rights Project.
The lawsuit, Hamama v.Adducci, was filed againstICE, the Department of Home-land Security, and the U.S.attorney general in the U.S.District Court/Eastern Michi-gan District. In addition to theACLU, the nationwide class-action lawsuit was broughtby: CODE LegalAid, Michigan ImmigrantRights Center, InternationalRefugee Assistance Project,and the law firm MillerCanfield Paddock & Stone.
