CHICAGO, May 15,2017 (AP): A University ofIllinois at Chicago reportexamines “pervasive” ra-cial inequalities in the citywhen it comes to housing,economics, criminal jus-tice and health care.
The 184-page reportreleased Monday looks atthree groups which eachmake up roughly one-
third of Chicago’s popula-tion: blacks, whites andLatinos.
Among other findings,researchers say Chicago re-mains one of the most segre-gated U.S. cities and pastdiscriminatory housing prac-tices have led to lower ratesof homeownership amongracial minorities when com-pared with whites. The report
says a majority of white Chi-cagoans own homes com-pared with 35 percent forblacks and 43 percent forLatinos.
The report is called “ATale of Three Cities: TheState of Racial Justice inChicago” and was pre-pared by UIC’s Institute forResearch on Race and Pub-lic Policy.

WASHINGTON, DC, 18V 17 (AP): El gobierno delpresidente Donald Trumpse encaminaba el jueves acumplir una promesa decampaña al anunciar querenegociará el tratado delibre comercio con Méxicoy Canadá.
El representantecomercial estadounidenseRobert Lighthizer envióuna carta a los lídereslegislativos para iniciar 90días de consultas sobrecómo modificar el Tratadode Libre Comercio deAmérica del Norte (TLCANo NAFTA, por sus siglas eninglés). Después de esos 90días podrán comenzar lasnegociaciones con Canadáy México.
Tanto México comoCanadá respondieronfavorablemente a lainiciativa.
El presidente de MéxicoEnrique Peña Nieto dijoque su país confía enalcanzar un “buen acuerdo”con la renegociación delTLCAN.
Peña Nieto indicó queexisten oportunidades paraaprovechar los cambiosdesde que se implementóel TLCAN hace más de 20años, en materiatecnológica y de comercio
WASHINGTON, DC, 14V 17 (AP): La Corte Supremade Estados Unidos resolveráen los próximos dos mesesseis casos de inmigración, ysus fallos podrían revelarcómo evalúan losmagistrados las medidas delgobierno del presidenteDonald Trump en materiamigratoria, en especial el in-cremento de lasdeportaciones.
Algunos de esos casospodrían decidirse incluso ellunes, cuando los jueces delmáximo tribunal se reúnanpara emitir opiniones sobrecasos que se discutieron enlos últimos seis meses.
Los fallos podrían indicarsi los jueces romperán con latradición de otorgar alpresidente y al Congresoamplia discreción en la formacomo manejan lainmigración, y qué papelpueden jugar las políticasadministrativas, como lapropuesta para restringir laentrada a Estados Unidos deresidentes de seis paísesm a y o r i t a r i a m e n t emusulmanes.
Trump se hacomprometido a aumentarlas deportaciones, en particu-lar de personas que han sidocondenadas por delitos, perolas decisiones que tome laCorte Suprema a favor de losinmigrantes en los casospendientes “podrían hacerque sus planes sean másdifíciles de realizar”, dijoChristopher Hajec, directorde litigios en el ImmigrationReform Litigation Institute(Instituto de Litigios para laReforma Migratoria). Esteorganismo generalmenteapoya las acciones deinmigración del nuevogobierno, como lasrestricciones de viaje.
Durante casi un siglo, lacorte sostuvo que, cuando setrata de inmigración, la CasaBlanca y el Congreso“pueden salirse con la suya,con cosas con las queregularmente no podrían”,dijo el profesor de derecho dela Universidad de TemplePeter Spiro, experto en leyesde inmigración. “El tribunal
electrónico.“Creo que hoy tenemos
una gran ventana deoportunidad, de poner al díaeste Acuerdo de LibreComercio”, subrayó ymencionó que el objetivo esque “los tres socios seanganadores, a partir delacuerdo que estemoscelebrando”.
La canciller canadienseChrystia Freeland dijo quela renegociación “nos ofreceuna oportunidad paradeterminar la mejor manerade alinear el TLCAN con lasnuevas realidades, e integrarenfoques progresistas, libresy justos al comercio y lainversión”.
Sostuvo que el pacto tiene“una trayectoria decrecimiento económico ycreación de empleos tantoen Canadá como en todaNorteamérica”.
La carta de Lighthizer noda detalles sobre los cambiosque desea Washington en elacuerdo. El funcionario dijoa la prensa que el pacto,firmado 23 años atrás,necesita proteger mejor a losobreros estadounidenses yreflejar la vigencia de nuevastecnologías.
Como candidato, Trumpcalificó al pacto de “undesastre”. El mes pasado
voceros de la Casa Blancaindicaron que elmandatario se disponía aabandonar el acuerdo peroel mismo Trump se retractópoco después, afirmandoque quería primero tratarde lograr un mejor acuerdo.
“Vamos a darle a larenegociación una buenaoportunidad”, dijoLighthizer. Indicó que elpacto, firmado 23 añosatrás, necesita protegermejor a los obrerosestadounidenses y reflejarla vigencia de nuevastecnologías.
El acuerdo haimpulsado enormementeel intercambio comercialentre los tres países. Losa g r i c u l t o r e sestadounidenses se hanbeneficiado ampliamentede la eliminación debarreras arancelarias. Perotambién hizo que muchasplantas estadounidensesmudaran sus fábricas aMéxico, donde la mano deobra es más barata; es poreso que muchos críticosacusan al TLCAN deperjudicar a lostrabajadores en EstadosUnidos.
“Desde que se firmó elTLCAN, hemos visto cómo
ha dicho explícitamente queen cuanto a la inmigración, laConstitución se aplica demanera diferente a otroscontextos”.
Dos casos de inmigraciónen manos de la corte ofrecen alos jueces la posibilidad dereducir la deferencia que lostribunales han dadotradicionalmente a otrospoderes del gobierno en esteasunto.
Uno de los casos es unademanda colectiva presentadapor inmigrantes que hanpasado mucho tiempodetenidos, incluidos muchosque son residentes legales deEstados Unidos o que estánsolicitando asilo. El tribunalestá evaluando si los detenidostienen derecho a audienciasjudiciales.
En el otro caso, el tribunaldirime una impugnación a unaley federal que facilita que losniños nacidos fuera de EstadosUnidos puedan conseguir laciudadanía estadounidense sisu madre la tiene, pero que lodificulta si es su padre el que esciudadano de Estados Unidos.
Incluso después de lalegislación de 1986, los hijosde padres estadounidensesenfrentan más obstáculos altratar de conseguir laciudadanía para sí mismos.
Ambos casos fueronanalizados antes de que Trumpasumiera la presidencia enenero. El gobierno de BarackObama se opuso a lasdemandas de los detenidos y ala impugnación de laciudadanía.
Spiro dijo que incluso si losjueces no han cambiado deopinión, el contexto sí.
“La corte tiene que serconsciente de cómo estos fallosse van a aplicar ante lasmedidas adoptadas porTrump”, señaló Spiro.
Las decisiones que tomenlos jueces pueden afectardirectamente a las personas queestán bajo la mira de lasautoridades de inmigraciónpara una deportación rápida ouna expulsión acelerada, asícomo a los inmigrantes quefueron traídos ilegalmente aEstados Unidos cuando eranniños y a quienes el gobierno
de Obama les ofrecióprotección contra ladeportación, dijo StevenVladeck, profesor de derechode la Universidad de Texas.
“Un asunto pendiente enla ley de inmigración es quétanta autoridad tiene elgobierno y qué tanta fuerzatiene la Constitución comolimitante”, señaló Vladeck.
Para Trump, un factorimportante es la amplitudque tenga ladiscrecionalidad delpresidente, agregó. “Esteaspecto es central paramuchas de las cosas que elgobierno de Trump pretendehacer”, agregó.
Otros casos implicanaspectos específicos de la leyde inmigración en los quelos fallos concederán plenalibertad o restringirán a lasautoridades migratorias quepretenden deportar a perso-nas condenadas por ciertosdelitos.
En un caso, un inmigrantemexicano enfrenta ladeportación después de quelo condenaran en Californiapor tener relaciones sexualescon una persona menor de18 años y que era tres añosmenor que él.
La acusación abarcó unperiodo antes y después deque el hombre cumpliera 21años, cuando la mujer, sunovia, tenía 16.
Lo ocurrido es un delitoen California, pero no en lamayor parte del resto del país,y el inmigrante afirma que sucaso no debería considerarsecomo la violación de unamenor de edad, lo cual lesignificaría la deportación,de acuerdo con la leymigratoria.
En otro caso, uninmigrante condenado porrobo a casa habitación haimpugnado una disposiciónde la ley de inmigración queconsidera que ese delito tienela gravedad suficiente paraque se aplique la deportacióninmediata.
Diversas cortes federalesde apelación han fallado afavor de los inmigrantes quehan impugnado la vaguedadde la disposición.

ANN ARBOR, May18, 2017 (AP): A south-eastern Michigan countyhas given final approvalto three resolutions tohelp legal immigrantsand those living in thecountry illegally feelwelcome.
The Ann Arbor Newsreports (http://bit . ly/2qwAdUD ) theWashtenaw CountyBoard of Commissionersvoted 6-1 Wednesday
night to approve the mea-sures that lay out new countypolicies on immigration anddedicate $145,000 to helpimmigrants, including thosetargeted for deportation bythe federal government.
One resolution urgesCongress to adopt immigra-tion reforms that restrict de-portation actions to peoplecharged with aggravatedfelonies and expand oppor-tunities for legal immigra-tion. The others provide
equal services to peopleregardless of ethnicity, im-migration status or physi-cal characteristics andsupport the national Wel-coming America initia-tive, which promotes co-operation and respect be-tween foreign- and native-born people in the U.S.

National Maritime Daywas created by Congress in1933 to recognize the mari-time industry. Franklin D.Roosevelt was the first presi-dent to issue a proclamationabout the day. May 22 waschosen because on that dayin 1819 the U.S. steamshipSavannah set sail from Sa-vannah, GA on the first-evertransoceanic voyage understeam power.
The International ShipMasters’ Association (ISMA)can trace its roots back to1886 when it was establishedto provide financial assis-tance to the survivors of those
lost at sea. Lodge 9 Toledoof ISMA was establishedon February 24, 1892 with27 founding members.Meetings were first held inthe basement of theWaldorf Hotel.

A coalition of groups onMonday asked the court toexpand that requirement tochildren facing lesser charges,such as shoplifting or truancy.

retired police officer.But Ailes got his way and
persuaded the class to breakfor Eisenhower in a mock vote.It was a sign, classmates say, ofAiles’ strong-willed indepen-dence.
“He wasn’t a follower. Hewas a leader, and you could seethat,” Papalas said.
After college, Ailes headedto Cleveland to take a televi-sion job. He later went to Wash-ington to work as a media gurufor Richard Nixon and then toNew York to start Fox News.
Dennis Blank, also fromWarren and nine years Ailes’junior, recalled his surprisewhen he met Ailes as a mediaexecutive in the 1980s in NewYork City.
“I was stunned,” Blank said.“There weren’t that many of usfrom Warren.”
Over after-work drinks,Blank and Ailes becamefriends despite differences.
“My politics and his, I don’tthink they could possibly befurther apart, but I just alwaysliked him,” said Blank. “He wasalways just kind of a regular
guy from Warren who hap-pened to make it big.”
Ailes returned to Ohioonly occasionally for highschool reunions, but whenhe did, he was widely wel-comed. Ailes quietly do-nated large sums of moneyfor various projects in War-ren. He also attended din-ners with a group of formerclassmates, including PatMcLean, 77, who kept intouch with Ailes even afterallegations of sexual harass-ment ended his Fox Newscareer last July.
“Last time we talked, Isaid, ‘Roger, we’re 77 yearsold. Go out and enjoy your-self, you’ve worked hard allyour life. Learn to relax,”McLean said.
Ailes spent much of thewinter in Florida, McLeansaid. Though he didn’t makeit back to Warren after he leftFox News, he did reach outto friends in Ohio before hisdeath.
“He was enjoying him-self,” McLean said. “Hedidn’t do that before.”

NUEVA YORK, 15 V 17(AP): Brad Pitt y el generalStanley McChrystal - lainspiración para elcomandante condecoradoque el actor interpreta en lasátira de guerra de Netflix“War Machine” - pareceríandos mundos totalmentediferentes. Uno es unmiembro afable de la élite deHollywood, el otro es unmilitar agresivo. Pero Pittencontró algo en común: unego inflado y el daño que ésteocasiona.
“El orgullo desmedido esuna trampa y es la trampa decualquier gran nación que hasido número uno demasiadotiempo. Empiezas a creerte tupropia porquería”, dijo Pitt.“Cada vez que me meto enproblemas es por mi propiaarrogancia”.
En este momento Pittpodría ser particularmenteempático con el cambio tandrástico como el que hundióa McChrystal por un famosoreportaje de la revista Roll-ing Stone. Por primera vezdesde que Angelina Jolie Pittle pidió el divorcio enseptiembre, el actor ha vueltoa los reflectores. No ha sidotímido. En su primeraentrevista tras la separación,para GQ, Pitt se mostró hon-esto y habló con franquezasobre su lucha con el alcoholy el dolor de dividir a su fa-milia.
El astro se mostróigualmente franco la semanapasada en una extensaentrevista con The Associ-ated Press. Pidióexpresamente que lollamaran “Brad” y a lo largode media hora conversó sobrelo que ahora le pasa por lamente, su actitud hacia laactuación y su alarma ante laposibilidad de que seexpanda la guerra enAfganistán. ¿Por qué semuestra tan abierto?
“No tengo ningúnsecreto. No tengo nada queesconder”, dijo Pitt. “Somoshumanos y encuentro muyinteresante la condiciónhumana. Si no hablamos alrespecto, entonces noestamos mejorando”.
Sin duda es un periododelicado de transición para elactor de 53 años. Dijo que hapasado su tiempo“manteniendo el barco aflote” y “entendiendo lanueva configuración denuestra familia”. “Los niñosson todo”, manifestó sobresus seis hijos. “Los hijos sontu vida, ellos tienen toda laatención, como debería ser”.
Lo está superando,aseguró. “No tengotendencias suicidas ni nada”,dijo riendo. “Todavía haymucha belleza en el mundo ymucho amor. Mucho amorpara dar. Todo está bien,simplemente así es la vida”.
Lo que más entusiasmó aPitt fue hablar de “War Ma-chine” y las pasiones detrásde la película. La cinta, escritay dirigida por el cineastaaustraliano David Michod(“Animal Kingdom”), se basaen el libro de MichaelHastings de 2012 “The Op-erators”, que relata el
May, 2017: One of the mostclosely-guarded secrets in Hol-lywood is now out and it has abig Northwest Ohio tie: a Bowl-ing Green native is portrayinga plum role in the upcomingfifth installment of the Piratesof the Caribbean film franchise.
Second generation Cuban-American Anthony De La Torreis playing one of the film’s best-known characters, according tohis Facebook post. De La Torrewill portray a young Jack Spar-row alongside iconic actorJohnny Depp, who has madethat one of movie history’s mostmemorable film roles. The lat-est Pirates of the Caribbeanmovie “Dead Men Tell NoTales” will open Memorial Dayweekend nationwide.
De La Torre suddenly startedshowing up in movie trailersfor the latest installment of Pi-rates of the Caribbean over theweekend, right after hisFacebook post declared “Theword is out... I am the youngJack Sparrow in Pirates of theCaribbean 5: Dead Men TellNo Tales. Collaborating withJohnny Depp in creating thischaracter was one of the mostthrilling experiences of my life.Opens May 26th!” De La Torrebears a striking resemblance toa young Depp in a photo at-tached to the Facebook post.
De La Torre made his act-ing debut last year, playingthe role of Latin heartthrobAnthony Del Rey in the Nick-elodeon TV sitcom “100Things to Do before HighSchool.” Since then, he hasappeared as the heavy metaldrummer Hellhammer fromNorwegian band Mayhem inthe movie Lords of Chaos andstars in the title role of themovie Johnny Gruesome,whose plot involves a rebel-lious high school senior re-turning from the grave afterhe’s murdered on a drunkenjoy ride.
But it was a striking resem-blance to another well-knownstar in the musical world thatfirst launched De La Torre to-ward fame and fortune. WhileDe La Torre sang Spanish ver-sions of Justin Bieber songsand posted them on YouTube,he also sent those same videosevery couple of weeks to re-nowned music producer
Desmond Child,who alsolaunched RickyMartin to super-star status as a soloartist. De La Torrefinally received acall from Child,but not for music.
“He asked meif I’d be willing totake this girl toher prom,” De LaTorre stated in ab i o g r a p h yposted oncdbaby.com. “Iagreed because itwas my way ofgetting my foot inthe door. The girlwas really cool.”
The prom datein Nashville proved to be afavor for one of Child’s friends.But it also served as a foot in thedoor and touched off a work-ing relationship with Child.De La Torre eventually signedwith an entertainment com-pany co-owned by the legend-ary producer.
Up to that point, De La Torre,now 23, made money as a teenimpersonating the pop singerJustin Bieber at birthday par-ties and other events, making$300 to $600 for every one-hour appearance. He would lipsync and dance to Bieber songs,then pose for pictures whilebeing asked for his autographby little girls who thought hewas the real deal. That turnedinto a lucrative and enjoyableside hustle while he hoped toeventually achieve stardom.
De La Torre eventually re-corded two Spanish-languageCD’s: No Ti Entiendo and Vena Mi Casa Esta Navidad. Amusic bio describes both ef-forts as “the dramatic deliveryof a young Luis Miguel up-dated for the generation of bi-lingual millennials.” But thebudding Latin pop artist sincehas shed that skin for musicwith a harder edge.
Now living in Los Angeles,De La Torre also fronts a rockband that bears his name. Thegroup’s debut album Matadoris due out later this year with anational tour scheduled. Thefirst single from that CD is called“Paradise” and already has avideo that’s been released.
De La Torre first broke intoacting as a seventh-grader at St.Aloysius School in BowlingGreen. He and his brother en-tered a talent and modelingcompetition, and his auditionled to further exposure in frontof agents and managers inFlorida. He landed a voice rolein the Nickelodeon animatedseries “Dora the Explorer” asthe character Willie the Whis-tling Duck.
Growing up in a bilingualhousehold has not hurt his ef-forts to reach stardom. De LaTorre is the son of Esther García-Tio, a longtime Spanish teacherat Bowling Green High School.The young man even workedfor the family cleaning busi-ness, at times spending nightscleaning the hallways of hisown school.
“I grew up in an Americancity, but my house was Latin.There was a lot of Cuban pridein my house growing up. I can’tspeak perfect Spanish, but Iknew from day one that if I wasgoing to do my own music ithad to be in Spanish,” he isquoted as saying in a bio tied tohis first Spanish language re-cording a few years ago.
De La Torre worked as achild under the stage nameAntonio Cabala. In a 2006Toledo Blade article, he statedthere are three people he “mustwork with.” Then he listed JimCarrey, Nicholas Cage—andJohnny Depp. De La Torre cannow cross one of those off hiswish list as a preteen.
tumultuoso y corto mando deMcChrystal en la guerra enAfganistán.
“War Machine”, que seestrena en Netflix el 26 demayo, tiene un ligero toque deficción. El personaje de Pitt esel general Glen McMahon,pero los acontecimientos ypersonalidades retratadoscorresponden con la caída deMcChrystal. El cambio, quese hizo después de que elproyecto fue anunciado, salvóa la película de algunos asuntoslegales delicados.
“No teníamos interés deimpugnar al generalMcChrystal o a cualquiera deestos tipos”, dijo Pitt. “Para míel problema es mássistemático”.
“Lo que me impulsó fueuna visita a Walter Reed”,agregó el actor, quien estuvoen ese centro médico militaren 2014. “Aunque esosjóvenes hombres y mujeres sonabsolutamente heroicos enuna situación muydesgarradora, sus vidascambian para siempre ytambién las de sus familias.Realmente me hizocuestionarme quién estáfirmando el cheque, quién estádando la orden”.
A Pitt le resultaparticularmente mortificantela solicitud que hicieron lasemana pasada los asesores delpresidente Donald Trump yoficiales del ejército paraenviar a miles de soldadosestadounidenses más aAfganistán, a una guerra queha durado más de 15 años.
Es momento de replantearselo que significa “ganar”, dijoPitt.
“Nada de lo que hemoshecho nos indica que mandarmás tropas va a hacer algo másque ocasionar más daños, másvidas y miembros perdidos”,dijo Pitt. “Hablamos muchode apoyar a nuestras tropas,pero pienso que apoyar anuestras tropas es mucho másque darles dinero y unapalmada en la espalda. Creoque es ser responsable sobrecómo usar ese compromiso tanprofundo”.
Los principales asesores deTrump dicen que el presidenteno ha tomado una decisiónfinal sobre el envío de másefectivos a Afganistán.
En “War Machine”,Michod conjunta el espíritude algunas comedias sobre laguerra como “Catch 22” y “M-A-S-H”. La película presenta aun ejército estadounidensecontrolado por la política, lasilusiones y las aspiracionespersonales. El general de Pitt,con una voz más profunda yáspera que la de McChrystal,llega a Afganistán con deliriosde grandeza y se marcha enmedio de un escándalo casiautoprovocado.
“Tocamos una mezcla deguerra y comedia, dos cosasque coexistían muycómodamente pero que laactualidad no lo hacen”, dijoMichod. “Es muy interesantever cómo coexisten ambas enla esfera pública dado loextrañamente seria que se havuelto la conversación sobrela guerra. ... Pero hay algo quees casi más real en ese tipo de
tratamiento cómico de laspasadas décadas que en laforma en que se lleva laconversación hoy”.
Michod reconoce que esun enfoque que compensaalgunos giros salvajes en eltono de “War Machine”, perodice que la mezcla deabsurdo y tragedia es a fin decuentas más realista.
“En el fondo, lo que meparece más poderoso de ‘WarMachine’ y la razón por lacual me parece importantees que se trata de la forma enque las personalidadespueden tener un efectodominó increíblementepoderoso y muchas vecesdañino en el mundo”, dijoMichod. “La película sellama ‘War Machine’(Máquina de guerra), peroesa máquina está compuestapor individuos con suspropias fortalezas yambiciones”.
Pitt dijo que habló conMcChrystal sobre lapelícula.
“Sentí lástima por él”,dijo el actor. “Él es unproducto de nosotros, él esnosotros”.
McChrystal, quien seretiró del ejército pocodespués de renunciar alcomando, comenzó desdeentonces una firmaconsultora y escribió un librode memorias. Rechazó hacerdeclaraciones para estaentrevista.
Poco de “War Machine”es típico de una producciónde Hollywood. Nunca sehabría hecho sin Netflix, dijoPitt. El servicio de streamingpagó 60 millones de dólarespor la película,convirtiéndola en uno de susproyectos más ambiciososhasta la fecha.
“El grado de dificultadde esto era diez”, dijo Pitt,“lo que hace que para mívalga la pena ponerme frentea la cámara ahora”.
A través de su empresa,Plan B, Pitt se ha vuelto unproductor exitoso. Estuvodetrás de dos de las tresúltimas películasgalardonadas con el Oscar(“Moonlight” y ‘’12 Yearsa Slave”) así como de otrosestrenos aclamados como“The Lost City of Z” deJames Gray. Por momentosPitt, quien preparanumerosos proyectoscomo una posiblecontinuación a “WorldWar Z”, sonaba como sisus días como unsuperastro del cinehubiesen quedado atrás.
“A medida queenvejezco siento que meacerco más al lado de laproducción que a estar frentea la cámara”, dijo Pitt. “Unapelícula es un grancompromiso y eso te aleja detu familia. Tengo queequilibrarlo. No es que seamenos importante en símismo, simplemente no estan importante como la fa-milia. Me encantó (‘WarMachine’) porque buscaalgo y no sé dónde vamos aterminar. Es una delicadacuerda floja la que hay quecaminar”.

University Partnership Pro-vides Access to Bachelor’s andMaster’s Degrees; 321 toGraduate from University Part-nership Programs Saturday,May 13.
Daniel Truitt, 21, of Ver-milion, is one of 321 gradu-ates who will receive a degreethrough Lorain County Com-munity College’s UniversityPartnership this year.
Truitt earned 17 collegecredits while in high schoolthrough LCCC’s CollegeCredit Plus program atFirelands High School. It wasthe experiences he had in hisLCCC courses during highschool that led him to selectLCCC and the University Part-nership for his undergraduatedegrees.
“Those courses sparkedsomething in me that I didn’tknow was there. When I foundout that I could continue withLCCC and earn a bachelor’sdegree in biology throughLCCC’s Partnership, it was likeall the pieces came together,”Truitt said.
Truitt received the highestscore of all community col-lege students in Ohio in theAll-USA Coca-Cola Commu-nity College Team competi-tion and was named a 2017New Century Scholar, one ofonly 50 students in the coun-try to win the award.
Truitt is on the path to be-coming a family physician.He completed a bachelor’s de-gree in biology from BowlingGreen State University in De-cember 2016 through LCCC’sUniversity Partnership and ismarching at LCCC May 13.He continues to take classes atLCCC in preparation to beginmedical school in the fall. Hecarries a 4.0 grade point aver-
age in all his coursework.“All of this has been pos-
sible because I chose LCCC,”Truitt said. “There have beentimes when people ask me whyI would come to a communitycollege when I could havegone elsewhere, and I tell themabout all the experiences thatI’ve had that I wouldn’t havegotten at a large university.”
LCCC’s University Part-nership offers more than 50different bachelor’s andmaster’s degrees from 12 ofOhio’s leading universities.Courses are offered at LCCC’scampus in Elyria and the Uni-versity Partnership RidgeCampus in North Ridgeville.Degrees cover a wide range ofspecialties, including busi-ness administration, biology,computer science and engi-neering, education, environ-mental science, nursing, pub-lic health, education and more.

LCCC is the first commu-nity college in Ohio to offer awide variety of bachelor’s andmaster’s degrees through itsunique University Partnershipprogram. And choosing theUniversity Partnership is notonly convenient for LorainCounty residents, but it’s alsohighly affordable.

“The University Partner-ship is the most economicalway for local residents to earna bachelor’s or master’s de-gree.

SEATTLE, May 15,2017 (AP): Does federal lawgive Donald Trump broadlegal authority to freeze im-migration by refugees andcitizens of some predomi-nantly Muslim nations?
That’s the question be-fore two federal appellatecourts that have now heardarguments over Trump’s re-vised travel ban and are be-ing asked by Trump’s op-ponents to use thepresident’s own anti-Mus-lim campaign rhetoricagainst him. Federal courtsin Hawaii and Marylandearlier this year blockedTrump’s revised travel banfrom taking effect. Trumpwants those decisions re-versed.
On Monday a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S.Circuit Court of Appeals inSeattle heard Hawaii’s law-suit challenging the ban,which would suspend thenation’s refugee programand temporarily bar new vi-sas for citizens of Iran,Libya, Somalia, Sudan,Syria, and Yemen.
Last week, judges on the4th Circuit Court of Ap-peals in Richmond, Vir-ginia, heard arguments overwhether to affirm a Mary-land judge’s decision put-ting the ban on ice.
WHAT DOES THEGOVERNMENT SAY?
Acting Solicitor GeneralJeffrey Wall told the appel-late court judges thepresident’s directive fallssquarely within his duty tosecure the nation’s bordersand that it does not dis-criminate against Muslimsin its language or in its op-eration.
Previous presidents haveblocked certain foreign na-tionals: Jimmy Carter usedhis authority to deny someIranians entry to the U.S.during the hostage crisis,Ronald Reagan to bar Cu-bans who didn’t alreadyhave relatives here; and Presi-dent Barack Obama to keepout North Korean officials.On Monday Wall said theorder doesn’t say anythingabout religion. “This orderis aimed at aliens abroad,who themselves don’thave constitutional rights,”Wall said.
WHAT DO STATESAND CIVIL RIGHTSGROUPS CHALLENG-ING THE BAN SAY?
They argue it violatesthe Constitution by disfa-voring Islam and point tostatements Trump made re-peatedly as a candidate inwhich he said he would banMuslims from entering thecountry. In issuing his deci-sion blocking the ban inMarch, Judge Derrick
BERLIN, May 17, 2017(AP): A future cap on immi-gration by European Unioncitizens to Britain wouldcome at a price for theU.K.’s relations with theEU, German ChancellorAngela Merkel saidWednesday.
Britain and the EU arepreparing for negotiationson Britain’s departure,which Prime MinisterTheresa May formally trig-gered in late March but willstart in earnest after a Brit-ish election next month.May insists that Britainmust leave the bloc’s single
market in order tocontrol immigration.
Merkel said at an eventwith international laborunion officials in Berlin that“if the British governmentsays that free movement ofpeople is no longer valid,that will have its price inrelations with Britain.”
“This isn’t malicious, butI can’t have all the goodsides and then say there’s acap of 100,000 or 200,000EU citizens, more aren’t al-lowed into Britain _ per-haps researchers as well, butno others, please,” Merkelsaid.
Watson in Honolulu citedwhat he called “significantand unrebutted evidence ofreligious animus” in Trump’scampaign statements. Speak-ing before the 9th Circuitjudges on Monday, NealKatyal, who represented Ha-waii, also said Trump hadrepeatedly spoken of a Mus-lim ban during the campaignand after. “This is a repeatedpattern of the president,”Katyal said.
They also argue that thewhile the president has broadauthority over immigration,that power extends only asfar as Congress has grantedit. Because Congress has al-ready adopted a scheme re-garding when people may beexcluded from the countryfor terror-related activities,the president cannot over-ride that with his travel ban,they argue.
WHAT POWER DOESTHE PRESIDENT HAVE?
In 1952, with the nationfearful of communist infiltra-tion, Congress gave the presi-dent the authority under theImmigration and NationalityAct to take action: “When-ever the president finds thatthe entry of any aliens or ofany class of aliens into theUnited States would be detri-mental to the interests of theUnited States, he may ... sus-pend the entry of all aliens orany class of aliens as immi-grants or non-immigrants, orimpose on the entry of aliensany restrictions he may deemto be appropriate,” the lawsays. But a law subsequentlypassed by Congress bans dis-crimination on the basis ofnationality when it comes toissuing immigrant visas. Howthose laws might authorize orconstrain Trump’s actions isa key aspect of the travel bancases.
WHAT’S HAPPENINGNOW WITH IMMIGRA-TION?
Trump’s attempted travelbans have caused the numberof refugees coming into theU.S. to plummet in the lasttwo months, despite his ex-ecutive orders largely beingblocked in the courts. Thenumber of refugees arrivingin the U.S. dipped to 2,070 inMarch, which was a six-yearlow except for a period in2013 when the federal gov-ernment was shut down. Thefigure was slightly higher inApril, at 3,200, but it was stillmuch lower than the monthspreceding Trump’s order. Anexecutive order signed byTrump in January decreasedthe refugee limit from110,000 to 50,000 this fiscalyear, but the cap was notblocked in court until mid-March. That caused the StateDepartment to tightly rein inmonthly arrivals when the
cap was in effect.Earlier this month, the
State Department an-nounced it wants to reviewsocial media, email ad-dresses and phone numbersfrom some foreigners seek-ing U.S. visas, as part of theTrump administration’s en-hanced screening of poten-tial immigrants and visitors.
WHAT DID THEJUDGES IN HAWAIIAND MARYLAND SAY?
The federal appellatejudges are considering rul-ings by two federal judgesagainst the travel ban. Nei-ther U.S. District JudgeTheodore Chuang in Mary-land nor Watson in Hawaiibought the administration’sreasoning that the ban isabout national security.Watson criticized what hecalled the “illogic” of thegovernment’s argumentsand cited “significant andunrebutted evidence of reli-gious animus” behind thetravel ban. He also notedthat while courts should notexamine the “veiledpsyche” and “secret mo-tives” of government deci-sion-makers, “the remark-able facts at issue here re-quire no such impermissibleinquiry.” But the scope ofthe rulings differed. In a chal-lenge brought by Hawaii,Watson blocked the federalgovernment from enforcingits ban on travel from sixmostly Muslim countriesand its suspension of thenation’s refugee program.Chuang only blocked thesix-nation travel ban, say-ing it wasn’t clear that thesuspension of the refugeeprogram was similarly moti-vated by religious bias.
WHAT’S NEXT?The appellate courts in
Washington state and Vir-ginia will issue their deci-sions, though exactly whenthey’ll rule is uncertain. Thetravel ban cases are expectedto reach the Supreme Courtat any rate, but that wouldlikely be cemented if the 4thand 9th Circuits reach dif-fering conclusions about itslegality.
Last week, U.S. DistrictJudge Tanya Chutkan in thenation’s capital said she’s“inclined to agree” that thetravel ban is unlawful, butheld off on a request to blockit because of the pendingappeals court cases. HawaiiAttorney General DouglasChin said Monday thatmeans even if the 4th and9th Circuits side with theadministration, the travelban could be put on hold yetagain.

What to know about travel ban appealsBy GENE JOHNSON, Associated Press
“That won’t work, andthen we would have tothink about what obstaclewe create from the Euro-pean side to compensatefor that,” she added.
Nearly 52 percent ofBritons who voted in areferendum last Junechose to leave the EU.
“We will, of course, al-ways think in the futurerelationship of the 48 or49 percent who didn’tback Brexit,” Merkel said.She didn’t specify how.
The divorce processwill be “very, very com-plicated,” Merkel said.

nuestro sector manufactureroha quedado diezmado,nuestras fábricas han cerrado,nuestros trabajadores se hanquedado sin empleo”, dijoen un comunicado elsecretario de ComercioWilbur Ross. “El presidenteTrump corregirá esto”.
En marzo, el gobiernocirculó una carta de ochopáginas sobre el TLCANque decepcionó a muchoscríticos, ya que dejabaprácticamente sin cambiosal acuerdo.
La carta del jueves teníamenos detalles. LoriWallach, directora delgrupo Public Citizen’sGlobal Trade Watch, lacalificó como“notablemente vaga”.Nancy Pelosi, líderdemócrata en la Cámara deRepresentantes, se quejóde que la “vaga carta sobreel TLCAN del presidentees un contraste extremo con
EEUU inicia consultas para renegociar elTLCAN(Continuación de p.3)
las agresivas promesas quehizo durante la campaña a lasfamilias trabajadoras”.
Pero los líderesrepublicanos del Congresoprometieron trabajar con elgobierno para redactar unmejor acuerdo.
“Esperamos con granexpectación trabajar con elgobierno para fortalecer elacuerdo sin que contengaparches y para asegurarnos demantener los beneficiosactuales para los trabajadores,agricultores y empresasestadounidenses”, dijo ellegislador republicano KevinBrady, presidente de laComisión de Recursos yArbitrios de la cámara baja.
Gary Hufbauer, asociadodel Peterson Institute, dijo queEstados Unidos podría buscarmódicos cambios“tecnocráticos”, incluyendocláusulas para actualizar elTLCAN para reflejartecnologías que han emergido
desde que fue negociado elacuerdo original. O podríaadoptar una táctica másagresiva, poniendo presiónsobre México para reducir eldesequilibrio comercial,quizá a través de laeliminación de un impuestoal valor agregado que aplicaMéxico a artículos quecruzan la frontera.
Thomas Donohue,presidente de la Cámara deComercio de EstadosUnidos, urgió al gobierno aalcanzar un acuerdorápidamente. Presionespolíticas en 2018—unaelección presidencial enMéxico y elecciones alCongreso de EstadosUnidos—podrían dificultarconcretar un acuerdo elpróximo año.
