SAN ANTONIO, August10, 2015 (AP): Five immigrantmothers held in facilities withtheir children are seeking mil-lions of dollars in damagesfrom the U.S. government forwhat they contend is psycho-logical and physical harm as aresult of being detained, ac-cording to court papers filedMonday.
Andrew Free, a Nashvilleimmigration lawyer represent-ing the women, filed tort claimsagainst the Department ofHomeland Security, allegingthe detained women and theirchildren received inadequatemedical care, suffered psycho-logical trauma and in some caseswere wrongfully imprisoned.
The tort claims, a precursorto a federal lawsuit, also targetU.S. Customs and Border Pro-tection and U.S. Immigrationand Customs Enforcement.ICE oversees two family de-tention centers in South Texasand another in Pennsylvaniathat currently hold about 1,400people.
The filing comes just daysafter the government fought afederal judge’s ruling callingfor the immediate release ofchildren and their mothers fromdetention, saying it intends toturn the facilities into short-term processing centers andthat limiting family detentioncould spark another surge inimmigrants from CentralAmerica.
Tens of thousands of immi-grant families, mostly fromCentral America, crossed theRio Grande into the U.S. lastsummer. Many have petitionedfor asylum after fleeing gang
Washington, DC, Au-gust 14, 2015: Today,the US Court of Appealsfor the DC circuit dis-missed a lawsuit broughtby Sheriff Joe Arpaio ofMaricopa County, Ari-zona. Arpaio had suedPresident Obama claim-ing that the DACA expan-sion and DAPA programswere beyond his author-ity and would cause harmto Maricopa County. TheAppeals Court ruled infavor of the Obama Ad-ministration, concludingthat Arpaio lacked“standing” – meaning hisclaims of harm were “un-duly speculative.”
This is one of four casesbefore the appeals courts. The case that has receivedmost of the attention is theTexas lawsuit in whichJudge Hanen ofBrownsville, TX enjoinedthe programs from goingforward. It is now on ap-peal and awaiting a deci-sion by the 5th Circuit. The other two cases ofnote: the Crane case re-garding the originalDACA that was brought inMississippi by immigra-
and domestic violence backhome.
ICE spokeswomanGillian Christensen refusedto comment on the pendinglitigation as a matter of policy.But she said the agency en-sures that the centers operatein an “open environment”and are “an effective andhumane alternative for main-taining family unity as fami-lies go through immigrationproceedings or await returnto their home countries.” Thefacilities provide access toplay areas, educational ser-vices, medical care and legalhelp, she said. ICE officialshave also said that it wasnecessary to detain familiesto ensure they didn’t vanish.
But Free said that the real-ity of family detention is fardifferent and that the gov-ernment has “fallen belowthe standard of care that theyowe to these detainees,” aswell as violated their rightsas asylum seekers by usingdetention as a deterrent.
“We expect this will bethe first in a large set of filingson the mistreatment of thesewomen and children on be-half of the government,” Freesaid.
Claimants in the 60-pagefiling, all from Guatemala,Honduras, or El Salvador, in-clude a woman who said shereceived poor care for an in-jured ear because she couldnot speak to the medical staffin her indigenous language.Another said her childrenwere among 250 kids givenan erroneously high dose ofa hepatitis A vaccine, despite
tion enforcement agents,which has been dismissed bythe 5th Circuit; and the Ari-zona Dream Act Coalitioncase, in which the 9th Cir-cuit has ruled againstArizona’s attempts to denydriver’s licenses to DACArecipients, a case now beingappealed by the state of Ari-zona to the 9th Circuit Court.
The following is a state-ment by David Leopold,former President of theAmerican Immigration Law-yers Association and a lead-ing expert on immigrationlaw and policy:
Today’s decision by theDistrict of Columbia AppealsCourt dismissing Sheriff JoeArpaio’s challenge to DAPAand DACA expansion, thePresident’s executive ac-tions on deportations, is avictory for the rule of lawand a solid rebuke toArpaio’s challenge to DAPAand DACA expansion.
The Court’s opinion un-derscores that theadministration’s use of de-ferred action to temporarilyshield undocumented par-ents and DREAMers is un-questionably legal—and hasbeen used by Administra-
tions of both parties sincethe 1960s.
The opinion shows whathappens when judges leavetheir politics outside thecourtroom and make deci-sions based on the law. Wecan only hope that thejudges of the 5th circuit Ap-peals Court in New Orleanswill also do the right thingand dismiss the equallymeritless political lawsuitfiled by the GOP beforeJudge Andrew Hanen inBrownsville, Texas.
But if the 5th circuit failsto do so—and creates a con-flict with the D.C. circuitdecision in the Arpaiocase—chances are nowmuch higher that U.S. Su-preme Court will make thefinal decision on DAPA andDACA expansion.

their having proof of previ-ous vaccination. A motherand daughter fleeing gangviolence and held for morethan six months were bothdiagnosed by a psycholo-gist with post-traumatic stressdisorder and depression ex-acerbated by their long de-tention.
A Honduran mother re-ported that her 8-year-olddaughter attempted tobreast-feed again, and an-other woman and her sonsaid they had languished indetention for 28 days afterhaving passed their crediblefear interview, the first legalhurdle for asylum. When thesame woman sought treat-ment for her broken fingersand wrist, she was allegedlytold to “drink more water”by medical staff and her sonwas rushed to the hospitalafter “a virus apparently hadgone untreated for a danger-ously long time,” accordingto the court papers.
“By bearing witness andhelping these women assertthese claims, we are under-mining the government’snarrative that this is a kindlergentler, detention policy,”Free said.
More than 170 HouseDemocrats have asked thatHomeland Security end fam-ily detention. Immigrantrights organizations havefiled complaints asking forinvestigations into the fa-cilities, which include simi-lar allegations of inadequatemedical care and detentionexacerbating or causing psy-chological trauma.

WASHINGTON, DC, 12VIII 15 (AP): El gobierno fed-eral no planea invitar adisidentes cubanos al históricoevento del viernes, en el que elsecretario de Estado JohnKerry izará la bandera deEstados Unidos en la nuevaembajada de La Habana, unvivo reflejo de cómo la políticaestadounidense ha cambiadosu enfoque con respecto a laoposición de la isla a sugobierno unipartidista.
En lugar de ello, Kerrysostendrá una reunión de bajoperfil más adelante en lajornada con algunosprominentes activistas,dijeron funcionarios.
La oposición cubana hasido el centro de las políticasestadounidenses con respectoa la isla desde que ambasnaciones rompieron vínculosdiplomáticos en 1961. Elgobierno cubano considera asus opositores locales comomercenarios traidores alservicio de Estados Unidos.En momentos en que los dospaíses se acercan para restaurarsus relaciones, Cuba casi hadejado de reunirse casicompletamente con políticosestadounidenses que visitena los disidentes durante susviajes a La Habana.
Eso significó un dilemapara los funcionariosestadounidenses queorganizan la ceremonia dereapertura de la embajadafrente al malecón de LaHabana. De invitar a losdisidentes hubieran corridoel riesgo de un boicot por partede las autoridades cubanas,incluidas aquellas quenegociaron con EstadosUnidos desde que lospresidentes Barack Obama yRaúl Castro declararon ladistensión el 17 de diciembre.Excluir a los disidentes sinduda provocará fuertes críticasde los opositores a las nuevaspolíticas de Obama, incluidoMarco Rubio, aspirante a lanominación republicana a lapresidencia, quien es deascendencia cubana.
Funcionarios cercanos alos planes para la primera visitade un secretario de Estado enfunciones a Cuba desde laSegunda Guerra Mundial,señalaron a The AssociatedPress, que Estados Unidosplanea una soluciónnegociada. Los disidentes noserán invitados al evento de laiza de bandera del viernes porla mañana, pero un pequeñogrupo se reunirá con Kerrydurante la tarde en la casa delembajador, donde hay otraceremonia de izamiento debandera con menos fanfarrias.
Reunirse con detractoresdel gobierno en la embajadahabría puesto en riesgo el
LA HABANA, 13 VIII 15(AP): El expresidente FidelCastro, quien el juevescumplió 89 años, reclamó aWashington compensacionespor los daños de su políticahostil a Cuba.
Sus colegas NicolásMaduro de Venezuela y EvoMorales de Bolivia, fuertesaliados del gobierno cubano,viajaron a la isla para compartirla jornada con el exgobernante.
En un artículo publicadoen el periódico oficial Granma,Castro hizo alusión a EstadosUnidos, país con el que la islaacaba de restablecer relacionesdiplomáticas.
“Se adeuda a Cuba lasi n d e m n i z a c i o n e sequivalentes a daños, queascienden a cuantiososmillones de dólares comodenunció nuestro país conargumentos y datos irrebatiblesa lo largo de sus intervencionesen las Naciones Unidas”,escribió el líder socialista.
El texto analizó lasconsecuencias del fin de laSegunda Guerra Mundial y lariqueza que obtuvo EstadosUnidos tras el fin del conflicto.El escrito se dio a conocer undía antes de la visita de John
Kerry, el primer secretario deEstado en funciones en viajar ala isla en 70 años, quien estaráen la ceremonia formal derestablecimiento de la sedediplomática estadounidense.
La embajada cubana enEstados Unidos fue inauguradaa mediados de mes.
El actual presidente cubanoRaúl Castro reclamó que lanormalización de lasrelaciones, más allá de lodiplomático, no será completahasta que Washington levantelas sanciones impuestas a laisla a lo largo de medio siglopara presionar por un cambioen su modelo político.
Retirado desde 2006cuando una sorpresivaenfermedad lo alejó del poder,Fidel Castro pasa la mayor partedel tiempo sin realizaractividades públicas y sólorecibe a personalidades yaliados políticos.
Morales llegó a la isla elmiércoles por la noche parahomenajear al exgobernante ensu cumpleaños.
“Estoy muy contento y felizde acompañar a nuestrohermano Fidel Castro en sucumpleaños”, dijo Morales aperiodistas locales a su arribo,
según un reporte de Granma.“Aprendí mucho de él”.
Morales calificó elrelanzamiento de los nexosdiplomáticos con EstadosUnidos y la instalación deembajadas como “un triunfo”de la isla y de “toda la unidaddel mundo”, que a lo largo delos años condenó el embargoa Cuba.
Posteriormente el portaloficial Cubadebate mostrófotos de Castro, quiensorprendió a Moralesvisitándolo junto a Maduro,cuyo arribo ni se había hechopúblico. Castro se ve sentadoen una camioneta blancavestido con una camisa acuadros y un conjuntodeportivo azul.
Maduro había hecho llegarsus felicitacionespreviamente.
“De pie, siempre de pie,sembrando dignidad ycosechando pueblosvictoriosos. Fidel felicidades.La lucha continúa... Desde lapatria de Bolívar y con elespíritu de Chávez, le damos aFidel el abrazo de los pueblosque luchan y aman”, escribióMaduro según un despachode la Agencia Venezolana deNoticias, en el que mencionóal fallecido mandatariovenezolano Hugo Chávez.
En Cuba, aunque no hubocomentarios oficiales sobre elcumpleaños, se realizaronactividades culturales pararecordar la jornada, como unamuestra de fotografías, lapresentación de un libro yconciertos.
El corresponsal de la AP enVenezuela Joshua Goodmancontribuyó con este reporte.
nuevo espíritu de cooperaciónque Estados Unidos pretendeengendrar, de acuerdo a losfuncionarios, que hablaron bajocondición de anonimato debidoa que no cuentan conautorización para declarar sobreel tema de manera pública. Peroel no reunirse con ellos en ningúnmomento también habríaenviado una señal igualmentenegativa.
“No sería una sorpresa que ladiplomacia norteamericanapriorice los contactos con elgobierno de Cuba; es lo nor-mal”, señaló Elizardo Sánchez,presidente de la ComisiónCubana de Derechos Humanosy Reconciliación Nacional, ungrupo disidente. “Si nosotrosllegamos (ellos) se marchan”.
El gobierno de Obama señalóque están movilizándose rumboa la normalización de lasrelaciones con Cuba luego deque en más de 50 años dehostilidad no se logró derrocar algobierno socialista. Al tratardirectamente con Cuba asuntosque van desde los derechoshumanos hasta el comercio, esmucho más posible que seproduzcan reformasdemocráticas y de libre comercioa largo plazo, señalan losfuncionarios estadounidenses.
Disidentes destacadosseñalaron a la AP el martes por latarde no han sido invitados aninguno de los eventos delviernes.
El diario en línea de ladisidente Yoani Sánchez,14ymedio, no ha recibidorespuesta a su solicitud para unaacreditación de prensa con el finde asistir al izamiento de banderade Kerry, dijo su directorReinaldo Escobar, esposo deSánchez.
“Creo que lo correcto seríaque, a pesar de que nosotros noestemos de acuerdo, se nos in-vite y se escuche nuestra voz.Eso es lo correcto”, señaló Anto-nio Rodiles, presidente delgrupo disidente Estado de SATS.“Me sorprendería que no nosinvitaran. Si me invitan digobueno, me alegro, pero no mesorprendería tampoco si no nosinvitan”.
En una carta dirigida el martesa Kerry, Rubio nombró a Rodilescomo uno de los disidentes queel secretario de Estado deberíainvitar a la embajada.
“Debería reunirse con losvalientes líderes que luchan porliberar a Cuba e invitarlos a laceremonia que presidirá en lanueva embajadaestadounidense”, escribióRubio. “Ellos, entre otros, y no lafamilia Castro, son losrepresentantes legítimos delpueblo cubano”.
La cautelosa postura delgobierno es consistente con lamanera en la que Obama hamanejado el asunto del respaldo
a los disidentes desde que él yCastro anunciaron unintercambio de prisioneros endiciembre pasado, junto consus intenciones de ampliaruna mejora en sus relaciones.El proceso derivó en algunospasos unilaterales por partede Obama para aliviar el em-bargo económico a la isla y latransformación formal el mespasado de las “secciones deinterés” de ambos países enembajadas.
Cuando la diplomáticaRoberta Jacobson sostuvoconversaciones en la Habanaen enero pasado, se reuniócon varios detractores delgobierno hacia el final de suhistórico viaje, pero fuemesurada en sus críticas algobierno. Desde entonces, lospolíticos estadounidenseshan viajado constantementea La Habana para conocer elpaís, reunirse con los nuevosempresarios y conversar conlíderes del gobierno socialistasobre la posibilidad de queEstados Unidos ponga fin a suembargo.
De acuerdo a una conteode The Associated Press quecompara los registros de losprincipales disidentes, más de20 legisladoresestadounidenses han viajadoa Cuba desde febrero sinhaberse reunido con losgrupos de oposición quealguna vez fueron una escalaobligatoria para lasdelegaciones del Congreso.
Esta semana, luego de quelas autoridades cubanasrodearan brevemente adecenas de disidentes duranteuna protesta, Estados Unidosinsinuó que los hechos nodemorarían el viaje de Kerryni enfriarían las relacionesentre ambas naciones.
“Estados Unidos seguiráabogando por los derechospara una asociación pacíficay libertad de expresión yreligión, y seguiremosexpresando nuestro apoyopara unas mejorescondiciones de derechoshumanos y reformasdemocráticas en Cuba”,comentó John Kirby,portavoz del Departamentode Estado.
Además de los eventos deizado de bandera, Kerrytambién se reunirá con elministro del Exterior de Cuba,Bruno Rodríguez. Ambospodrían ofrecer unaconferencia de prensaconjunta, que sería la primeradesde que la Revolucióncubana derrocó al dictadorFulgencio Batista en 1959.Kerry también planea dar unacaminata breve por la capital,de acuerdo a las autoridades.

About 30 elementary andmiddle-school age studentsreceived a one-day summerscience lesson at the Univer-sity of Toledo as part of theongoing Latino Youth Summitseries, part 3. The three-hourdaytime session is designed toget migrant kids excited aboutcareers in the STEM fields—science, technology, engineer-ing, and math.
The summer-programs aresupervised by Dr. Mark A.Pickett of UT’s Dept. of CivilEngineering and include UTparticipants Dr. Samuel Giles,John Rich (MS, PE), JoséTreviño, and Felicia Guerrero.
The children of migrantfarmworkers are entering thethird through the seventh gradeat Old Fort or other schooldistricts in Seneca andSandusky Counties. Some willstart the school year at a localelementary or middle schoolbefore their family returns tothe south or western U.S.
Third-grader AdrianneChasteen was on assignmentfor La Prensa and was part ofthe group that made flash-lights. “I really love scienceand math,” said Ms. Chasteen,who attends Rossford’s EaglePoint Elementary School (3rd
– 5th grades); Adrianne writesfor the bilingual, weekly news-paper and, frequently, performsstand-up comedy at the FunnyBone in Perrysburg, Ohio.
Jeremy Zender, who com-pleted a master’s degree at theUniversity of Findlay, was one
of four teachers who accompa-nied the students on the sum-mertime educational excur-sion. He teaches English to 6th
thru 8th graders in the Old FortJunior High school system.
“It’s always interesting tosee when the bar is set reallyhigh how the kids can respondto that and sometimes, just dosome things that surprise you,”he said with a laugh.
Most of the activities oc-curred in Nitschke Hall, whichhouses UT’s well-regardedCollege of Engineering. Stu-dents were divided into fourgroups for hands-on sciencelessons:
• making polymers (like sillyputty);
• electrical engineering andmaking flashlights;
• sound and vibrations; and• making hand-cleansing
gel. “They really liked the silly
putty experiment, where theysaw what kind of mixtures madeit bounce the best and whichones were the most flexible andextend the most,” said Zender.“The group I was with did ex-periments with vibration andfrequency, really some chal-lenging stuff for middle-schoolers. They not only hadthe kinesthetic part where theywere making adjustments tosound waves and frequencies,but then they sat down andlooked at the math behind itand did formulas and calcula-tions. They were some reallywell-rounded lessons.”
José Treviño, director oftransfer services and recruitmentfor UT’s College of Pharmacyand Pharmaceutical Sciences,has taken an active role inLatino Youth Summit eventsfor the past several years. It is acause he is quite passionate tosee succeed each year.
“I worked for fifteen years asa farmworker alongside mybrothers and sisters in the fieldsfrom planting and weeding toharvesting of crops, regardlessof the temperature outdoors,”said Treviño. “There were a lotless resources provided to mi-grant families back then. Myhope is to help these families asmuch as possible gain an edu-cation that may help them havea better life.”
After the morning sessions,the group had a lunch of pizzaand ice cream floats on campusand took a tour of the univer-sity. The kids got to visit theStudent recreation center pool,walk through the Glass Bowlwhere the UT Rockets footballteam plays their home games,and see engineering labs andclassrooms.
“They were pretty excitedon the way home,” said Zender.
Those science lessons gotextended on the way back toOld Fort from UT. The busstopped at the Portage River,the Sandusky River, and theOttawa River. The kids tookwater samples from each of therivers to study and put underthe microscope the next day.The lesson centered on what
types of organisms were liv-ing in each river, so the stu-dents could make compari-sons.
The science lesson is par-ticularly relevant in North-west Ohio these days, as theconcern from toxic algaeblooms in Lake Erie centerson microcystin, which in highconcentrations can have adrastic effect on the region’sdrinking water supply. Thosethree rivers all feed into LakeErie at one point or another, sowater quality is a concern ofevery family.
“It’s an extremely relevanttopic and anytime we canmake some real-world con-nections to what sometimescan seem like abstract educa-tional topics, I think it’s great,”said Zender, who heavilycomplimented his scienceteacher colleague Jim Less forcapturing student enthusiasmwith such hands-on lessonsthe entire summer.
“Our goal is to try to en-courage these youngsters thatany career is possible, and weespecially want to focus oncareers that require a goodscience foundation, saidTreviño. “We feel that there islittle representation fromunderrepresented groups inareas like medicine, engineer-ing and pharmacy. We trulyhope that these youngsterswill one day come and studyhere at UT in careers that arenot currently being soughtby these underrepresented
groups.”Zender
is spendinghis seconds u m m e rw o r k i n gw i t hm i d d l eschool-agem i g r a n tfarmworkerchildren.He is goinginto histenth yearas a middleand highschool English teacher in theOld Fort school district in Sen-eca County.
“It’s an interesting pro-gram, a whole different atmo-sphere than the typical schoolyear,” he said. “We have alittle more flexibility with ourschedule, rather than havingthe traditional seven or eightclasses a day. We can spend abit more time on science ex-periments one day or do alittle more on reading on an-other given day.”
The migrant summer edu-cation program previouslywas hosted in the Bettsvilleschool district, which mergedwith Old Fort last year. Zenderalready can see himself work-ing with the migrantfarmworker children for manysummers to come.
“It was an opportunitythat was presented to me andI was really interested to seewhat the program was all
about,” he said. “I wanted tosee what these kids wereabout, to get to work withsome of these kids we knoware in the area but a lot oftimes we don’t see them. It’sreally been eye-opening forme to ride the bus with thekids in the afternoons and gointo some of the differentcamps, see where they live,see what their background is,to get to know this group ofpeople that’s coming into ourcommunity year after year af-ter year.”
Zender, 34, will see some ofthe migrant farmworker kidsin his classroom, at least for ashort time once the academicyear begins.
“That’s allowed me to havesome special connections andget to know some of thosekids,” said Zender. “They alldeserve a high-quality educa-tion and we do our best toprovide that for them.”

Donald Trump may be theleading 2016 presidentialcandidate in the RepublicanParty, but the outspoken bil-lionaire has angered Latinosnationwide with his causticcomments on immigrationand Mexicans who cross theborder into the U.S.
Latino activists and advo-cacy groups were incensedwhen Trump announced hiscandidacy in mid-June, imme-diately taking a shot at un-documented immigrants dur-ing that campaign kickoffspeech that accused Mexico ofsending “criminals” and “rap-ists” to the U.S.
But the Midwest LatinoFestplanning committee is order-ing piñatas with Trump’s like-ness for the festival, which isscheduled to run Saturday,Sept. 5, 2015 at Promenade Parkin downtown Toledo.
28-year old Dalton Ramirezis among Mexican entrepre-neurs who are making theTrump piñatas and doing abanner business. PiñateriaRamirez is located in the townof Reynosa, across the RioGrande from Hidalgo, Texas.In the last three months, newsstories about his piñatas havebeen featured across the globe.His Facebook page has thou-sands of followers worldwide.
“They’re ordering them fordemonstrations and marches. Ieven have a museum in Hous-ton that wants one,” Ramireztold one news outlet. Ramireztold the Associated Press hedesigned the piñata “becauseof the hatred Trump expressedfor the Mexican people.”
Ramirez claims he’s solddozens of them at $40 apiece—mostly to US-Americans—andhe has orders for more.
Many of the Trump Piñatasare produced in U.S. cities withlarge Mexican populationssuch as Los Angeles, Chicago,and San Antonio.
Traditionally, in Mexico,piñatas represent evil. Piñatasare most commonly found atchildren’s parties where the hol-low papier-mâché figure isfilled with candy and sus-pended from a tree branch orpole. A child is then blind-folded, handed a stick andpointed in the direction of thepiñata where he/she then triesto smash it and release itsgoodly, edible contents.
At the Sept. 5th festival, prizeswill be awarded for successfulbreakage of the Trump Piñatas.
Despite the summer-longbacklash, Trump predicts he’llwin the Latino vote in nextyear’s primaries and generalelection. His comments overthe weekend on NBC’s “Meetthe Press” about how he’d solvethe immigration issue facingthe country today if elected
president may onlydeepen that chasm.Trump stated his firstmove would be to rescindPresident Obama’s execu-tive orders on immigra-tion and deport all un-documented immigrantsfrom the U.S.
Just after the Trumpappearance on the Sun-day morning politicaltalk show, his campaignreleased a position paperon immigration that issure to inflame already-fierce opposition fromLatino-based groups.
The billionaire has rantedthat he would build “a greatwall” along the southern borderand make Mexico pay for it. Hisposition paper spells out justhow he would do it.
The wall relates to the first ofthree principles listed onTrump’s website—that “a na-tion without borders is not anation.” The wall would be builtlargely through increasing feeson border movement betweenthe U.S. and Mexico.
But Trump ignores theCanadian border
Of course, The Donald to-tally ignores the U.S. northernborder with Canada, which hasa much larger mileage span thanthat with Mexico, which manycritics suggest that Trump’s ex-clusion of Canada clearly illus-trates that Trump is a “Racist,”pure and simple.
“We will not be taken advan-tage of anymore,” the plan states.
More specifically, the Trumpimmigration plan calls for theU.S. government to “impoundall remittance payments derivedfrom “illegal” wages; increasefees on all temporary visas is-sued to Mexican CEOs and dip-lomats (and if necessary cancelthem); increase fees on all bor-der crossing cards - of which weissue about 1 million to Mexi-can nationals each year (‘a ma-jor source of visa overstays’ asclaimed by Trump); increasefees on all NAFTA worker visasfrom Mexico (another majorsource of overstays, as claimedby Trump); and increase fees atports of entry to the United Statesfrom Mexico.”
In his formal policy state-ment, Trump reiterates his con-tention that “Mexico’s leadershave been taking advantage ofthe United States by using un-documented immigration to ex-port the crime and poverty intheir own country.”
The Trump paper also sug-gests tripling the number of ICE(Immigration and Customs En-forcement) officers anddefunding so-called “sanctu-ary” cities that don’t cooperatewith federal immigration“round-ups.” That proposal
would be paid for by “eliminat-ing tax credit payments to‘illegal’ immigrants.”
“We have to keep thefamilies together, but theyhave to go,” Trump said onMeet the Press.
He promised to “expedite itso people can come back in”after the deportation. “Thegood people can come back,”he said.
The third principle inTrump’s immigration planstates that “any immigrationplan must improve jobs, wages,and security for all Americans.”
Other parts of the plan aresimilar to the proposals of hisrivals in the Republican race.He proposed enforcing the na-tionwide e-verify system, end-ing birthright citizenship forthe children of illegal immi-grants, and increasing the pre-vailing wage for the temporaryH-1B visas.
But Ohio Governor JohnKasich has purposely set him-self apart from Trump on immi-gration reform, calling for alegal path to citizenship for theestimated 12 million undocu-mented immigrants across thecountry. But Kasich has statedthey must pay penalties, haveno criminal record, and be will-ing to “stand in line.” The Ohiogovernor’s position is part of alarger stake he has claimed onthe need to “unite the nation.”
“I think the country needs lift-ing,” Gov. Kasich said in aninterview with CBS’s Face theNation. “I think it needs uniting.”
Other GOP presidentialhopefuls have been more directin their criticism of Trump’srecent immigration comments.Former Florida governor JebBush called them “extraordi-narily ugly.”
But Trump continues todraw thousands of supportersat his speeches. A campaignstop in Michigan last week drew2,000. Trump also leads in GOPpolls by a wide margin.
Immigration may be a po-litical football, but candidateTrump, at least for a day, willserve as a political piñata forfrustrated festival-goers onSept. 5.

August 12, 2015: TheCleveland Orchestra YouthOrchestra and its Music Di-rector, Brett Mitchell, haveannounced details of the 2015-16 season.
In its 30th season, the YouthOrchestra, under Mitchell’sdirection, will perform con-certs in Severance Hall onSunday, November 22, 2015;Friday, March 4, 2016 (withthe Cleveland OrchestraYouth Chorus); and Sunday,May 8, 2016.
In addition to the threeconcerts in Severance Hall,the Youth Orchestra seasonincludes concerts in nearbycommunities by both thefull orchestra and by cham-ber ensembles comprised ofYouth Orchestra members. A Prelude Concert, featur-ing Youth Orchestra mem-bers performing chambermusic in Reinberger Cham-ber Hall, begins one hourprior to the November 22and May 8 concerts.
Prior to the March 4 con-cert, the Prelude Concert, withperformances by chamber en-sembles drawn from the YouthOrchestra and the Youth Cho-rus, will take place in the Con-cert Hall.
Sister Mary Roseria isretiring after decades of ser-vice to the Latino commu-nity in the Fremont areathrough her work at St. Jo-seph Catholic parish, whichheld a farewell reception inthe parish hall after the 10:30a.m. and 1 p.m. Masses onSunday, August 9, 2015.
“There are so many goodpeople and it was just nice tosee them gather there wish mewell,” she said, almost em-barrassed at all the fuss andattention being showeredupon her. “Just being with allthese nice people was a niceexperience.”
Sister Mary also attendedthe annual ABLE/LAWO/FALCON/PATHSTONE pic-nic at Walsh Park in Fremontfor migrant farmworkers andtheir families on Saturday,August 8. Both events al-lowed the 81-year old nun tosay final farewells to indi-viduals and families she hasserved for the last quarter-century in Ottawa andSandusky counties.
ABLE (Advocates for Ba-sic Legal Equality, Inc.),LAWO (Legal Aid of WesternOhio, Inc.), FALCON(Farmworker Agencies Liai-son Communication andOutreach Worker), and NewYork-based PathStone allwork with migrantfarmworkers. Numerous otheragencies and organizationsparticipated, including:Sharon Ray of Ohio MigrantEducation—Lakota SchoolDistrict, Cleveland-based at-torney Richard Herman, theToledo-Lucas County Pub-lic Library, Ohio Means Jobs,and Tejano-based Teachingand Mentoring Communities(TMC).
“Some of the migrants I’veknown for some years werethere and it gave us a goodchance to see each other oncemore,” she said.
Sister Mary was assignedto the Fremont church’s His-panic Ministry program as anun associated with the To-
ledo Sisters of Notre Dame.She will rejoin her fellownuns at the Sisters of NotreDame Provincial Centeralong Secor Rd. in Toledoat least until November,when the nuns move to anew facility in Whitehouse.
While the Sisters of NotreDame have an agreement inprinciple to sell much of thatSecor Rd. property for a pro-posed new Kroger superstore,many residents of West To-ledo are vocally opposingthe move at such a busy inter-section. Where Sister Mary endsup living may be decided by thewhole controversy.
“I hope it all gets resolved,”said Sister Mary with diplomaticemphasis. “I’m sure it will allwork out.”
But don’t expect Sister Maryto sit in a rocking chair in retire-ment. She stated she’s just wait-ing patiently for God to guideher to her next assignment.
“Sisters of Notre Dame don’tusually retire,” she quipped.“Once you’re finished with onething, something else alwayspops up. So you don’t have toget bored with retirement. Iwould really hope to find moreuseful things to do.”
Those expected to move tothe new campus in Whitehousewere given a letter with varioustasks and assignments they canundertake. Sister Mary is defi-nitely keeping her options open.
“I don’t know how thingswill work out. I checked off afew things and wrote down acouple of ideas of my own, butonly the future will determinewhat happens,” she said. “I’llbe happy to do anything forwhatever or anybody.”
Sister Mary has served theToledo Catholic Diocese formore than six decades, much ofthat as an elementary schoolteacher at a variety of parochialschools in Toledo, Leipsic, andother locations. Her deep loveand experience with migrantfarmworker students in Leipsicled to her later assignment in theHispanic Ministry program start-ing in 1990.
Sandusky County tradi-tionally has the most migrantfarmworkers in the state, fol-lowed closely by OttawaCounty—the two countiesthat fall within the deanerywhere she’s been assigned.So priests, nuns, and lay lead-ers have tried to assist themigrant population with theirspiritual and financial needsfor decades.
“People have been verygenerous in donating shoes,blankets, towels, toiletries,and funds for that,” ex-plained Sister Mary. “Eachof the parishes in the dean-ery provides funding for thisministry. We try to providesacramental preparations forthem. The deacon has donebaptisms. When there weremore migrants in past years,we had first communionclasses, confirmationclasses. It’s hard for the mi-grants, because they movefrom place to place, to com-plete all of their instructions.We tried to help with that.”
St. Joseph Catholic parishin Fremont still provides aSpanish-language Mass at 1p.m. each Sunday for the mi-grant farmworker congrega-tion. Sister Mary used to betasked with taking the youngchildren during the homilyand the gospel portion of massand did it separately.
“They’re always so sweet,these kids,” she recalled. “Itwas always a great joy to dothat.”
The Cleveland OrchestraYouth Orchestra’s 2015-16Severance Hall season beginson Sunday, November 22,2015, at 3:00 p.m. with a pro-gram consisting of KevinPuts’s River’s Rush;Bernstein’s Symphony No. 1(“Jeremiah”); andSchumann’s Symphony No.3 (“Rhenish”).

MidWest LatinoFest isLabor Day Saturday,September 5, 2015
September 5: MidWestLatinoFest will, again, beheld at Promenade Park indowntown Toledo on Sep-tember 5, 2PM to 11PM, dur-ing the Labor Day weekend.Admission is $5 for adultsafter 5:00, with free admis-sion for all ages before 5:00.A variety of Latin entertain-ment is on tap with Mariachi(Los Mariachis Locos),Bachata (Latin Dynasty ofGrand Rapids MI), LatinRock (Radio Free Hondurasof Chicago), and Tejanoheadliner Yvonne Ramos-Ybarra and Grupo Fuego.
Grupo Fuego has beennominated for two awards inthe upcoming Tejano Music
Awards in San Antonio,scheduled for October 24th.
This festival (and others)will keep families busy overthe next month or so, asschool begins and summerwinds down, with childrenactivities, delicious food,and other entertainment.
“The great thing is we getall of the different cultures
toge the rin one spotfor oneday,” saidAdrianneKolasinskiof LaP r e n s a .“It’s just agreat expe-r i e n c e .Y o u ’ v e
got the dancing, the food,the entertainment, all of thepeople. It’s just a great expe-rience for downtown To-ledo.”
While details about mu-sical acts are still comingtogether, MidWestLatinoFest will feature a fam-ily-friendly kids’ area dur-ing the day, including a visitfrom the ever-popularRonald McDonald. Otheractivities include: an Elvis& Marilyn Monroe look-a-like contest.
Moving the date to LaborDay weekend has helped at-tendance the past couple ofyears, according to Ms.Kolasinski.
“I know attendance atsome festivals has beendown this year,” she said,
citing the wet June and Julyweather. “I’m thinking we’llstill come out pretty strong.It’s the only thing all yearand I think people are reallylooking forward to it. I’mhoping the weather will be inour favor.”
Even though gas pricesare relatively cheap com-pared to past summers, La-bor Day weekend means thestart of the school year, sofamilies are apt to stay closerto home, which boosts atten-dance. Many families haveadopted the “staycation”concept of doing thingsnearby, as opposed to a longweekend in a far-off locale.
“People do come from allover the country, just toattend the festival,” said Ms.Kolasinski. “It’s not just nec-essarily the Midwest. We getpeople from Texas, Missouri,Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin,Michigan, and Ohio justwaiting for our event; evenCanada.”

Sister Mary, up until herretirement, carried a cellphone to receive calls forgas vouchers or emergencyutility assistance, medicine,or other unmet needs of mi-grant farmworker families.Her role was to meet theirspiritual, emotional, and fi-nancial needs where andwhen called upon to helpacross Northwest Ohio.
“Not because of me, butbecause of all the generouspeople who have been do-nating,” she said, alwaysquick to credit other parish-ioners and nuns. “They hadgreat leadership skills andthings really got organized.These other sisters reallymade the thing expand andget better all the time.”
During the summer, fe-male students from NotreDame Academy and otherparochial schools wouldhelp in the effort. Studentsstill travel to farmworkercamps in the Leipsic area toassist the Sisters of NotreDame in their charity work.Sister Mary stopped teach-ing in 1994; then devotedher attention full-time tohelping Latino families, es-pecially during the summermonths.
“It’s been a great adven-ture,” she said with a laugh.
“There are so many beautifulpeople out there. The Hispanicculture is so great, so family-oriented.”
But Sister Mary has seenmigrant farmworker familiestorn apart by deportations andarrests firsthand—enoughcases that she’s willing tospeak up for social justice.
“I really appreciate and feelall the hardships they reallygo through. There’s a greatneed for immigration reform,”she said. “One of the hardest,hardest things about this jobwas to see a dad picked up andsent back while the family ishere. It’s just unreal. We needtheir work, but we don’t wantto help them become citizens.There’s a lot that could bedone in that area.”
Her first experience withmigrant farmworker familiesgoes all the way back to thelate 1960s, when she taughtelementary school in Leipsic.Sister Mary first became a nunin the early 1950s and wasassigned to the Sisters of NotreDame in 1954.
“It’s the mission of the Sis-ters of Notre Dame to reachout to all people, but in par-ticular, women and childrenwho are poor,” she said, ex-plaining her life’s work withthe migrant population as asocial worker, educator, and
Sister Mary Roseria retiring(Continued from Page 10)
pastoral caregiver, amongother roles.
In all she did, Sister Maryknew little Spanish, butspoke the language of love.Frequently, a child in a mi-grant farm camp would vol-unteer to translate for herwhen necessary.
Sister Mary explainedthat two church deaconswould take over her duties—one handling the financialassistance and the other han-dling religion-related re-sponsibilities. She’s alsoconfident volunteers willstep in when necessary.
“I know everything is go-ing to be much better in thefuture, because the old waysgo by and new things andnew ideas will come aboutand the next people will beable to handle that,” she said.“I have great confidence inall of those people.”
Sister Mary stated shehad no hobbies she wouldpursue full-time in retire-ment, instead preferring “tojust enjoy the company ofthe sisters.” But based onthe longevity of her careerto date, she certainly won’tbe sedentary.
“My doctor told me youmight be getting older, butyou don’t have to act thatway,” she said.
SANTIAGO, Chile, Au-gust 12, 2015 (AP): Nestledbetween high-rise buildingson a busy street in Chile’smodern capital is a straw hutthat’s a sign of growing re-spect for the Andean country’slong-disdained indigenouspast.
Ailing patients, many re-ferred by a hospital across thestreet, line up to see theMapuche herbalist inside aspart of a government initia-tive to incorporate pre-Latinoknowledge into Chile’s pub-lic health system.
Mapuche culture, longlooked down upon in Chile, isslowly becoming chic.
“I’m not Mapuche but Ibelieve in their culture,” saidElba Soto, 56, who oftencomes to the ruka—a tradi-tional Mapuche thatchedhome—looking for herbs andointments to ease the pain inher bones. “And I love all ofit.”
The geometrical designs ofthe Mapuche have made theirway into fashion shows fromNew York to Paris, their foodis inspiring high-end cuisineand popular singer Ana Tijouxwaves the multicoloredMapuche flag during her con-certs and raps about theirstruggle in her Grammy-nomi-nated albums. Television sta-tions even compete for ratingswith shows about the country’slargest indigenous group.
“The Mapuche today arenot just folklore. The Mapuchetoday are a cultural icon and apop-cultural icon,” said PedroCayuqueo, a Mapuche authorand host of “KulMapu,” apopular TV show profilingeverything Mapuche that isbroadcast on CNN Chile. “Itmakes people in rock, film andgastronomy become interestedand stop looking at theMapuche in a paternalisticway, but as something that’scool.”
The Mapuche, a name thatmeans “people of the land” intheir original language, re-sisted invaders for centuries—first the mighty Incan empire,then the Spanish conquista-dors who arrived five centu-ries ago in the area now knownas Chile.
The Mapuche ultimatelywon treaties with the Chileanstate recognizing their right toeverything south of the BioBio river, or roughly the entire
southern half of the long, thincountry.
But in the late 19th cen-tury, a new wave of Europeansettlers arrived, and the trea-ties were broken, withMapuche lands seized in vio-lent takeovers. The survivorswere pushed to the fringes ofsettled lands.
Today, most of the morethan 1 million Mapuche livein Santiago’s metropolitanarea and in their ancestral homein south-central Araucania,the country’s poorest region.
As group, they are farpoorer and less educated thanother Chileans, more prone tosuffer illness, malnutrition,and discrimination.
Even with the return ofsome lands in recent decades,the Mapuche hold a small frac-tion of what they controlleduntil the late 19th century.
A radical faction of theMapuche in Araucania hasoccupied and burned farmsand lumber trucks to demandthe return of lands. Police havebeen accused of violentabuses, including storminginto Mapuche homes duringraids and shooting rubber bul-lets indiscriminately at womenand children.
While most Chileans, andmost Mapuche, reject the vio-lence, the conflict has drawnattention to indigenous de-mands and interest in theirculture.
Cayuqueo said youngMapuche are curious aboutexploring their roots and nolonger deny their origins theway their ancestors did toavoid discrimination.
Authorities in Chile alsoare taking some steps to en-courage the culture of nativepeoples. Last month, the gov-ernment hosted the first tour-nament of indigenous soccerplayers from all over LatinAmerica. This month, itlaunched a pilot program totrain professors to teach theoriginal Mapuche tongue,Mapudungun, which is stillspoken by many.
At the hut in Santiago, herb-alist Natalia Ojeda Hueitrasaid she sees improvement inhow Mapuches are treated.
“Before there was a lot ofdiscrimination, lots of peoplelooking down at us and manysaw the Mapuche as the low-est of the low,” said Hueitra,who wears the traditional
“trapelacucha,” a large silvercollar that spreads to the chest.“Not anymore. Today, it’sabout empowerment.”
You’ll find Mapuche in-fluence on the menu at Boragorestaurant, recently named inthe prestigious San PellegrinoWorld’s 50 Best Restaurantslist. It employs traditionalcooking methods, such cook-ing in the ground with liveembers, and uses ingredientssuch as maqui, a berry thatcomes from a tree that is sacredto the indigenous group.
“We’re cooking the nativecuisine of Chile.” said RodolfoGuzmán, Borago’s chef andowner. “We’re the continua-tion of the Mapuche.”
VOZ, a New York fashiondesign company, works withMapuche artisans in Chile andsells their hand-woven de-signs as far away as Asia andthe Middle East. They’ve beendisplayed in Los Angeles andParis and during New YorkFashion Week.
The Mapuche work “is sobeautiful and so expertlycrafted,” said VOZ founderJasmine Aarons. “And the sto-ries that the Mapuche artisanstell in their artwork is so pow-erful, like their culture.”
Chilean state televisionrecently began broadcastinga historical drama called“Besieged: The Other Sideof the Conquest,” which fo-cuses on the battle ofCuralaba in 1598, a famousvictory by the Mapucheagainst Spanish colonizers.The show has been so popu-lar that some local critics re-fer to it as the Mapuche“Game of Thrones.”
“What’s happening showsthat Mapuche people have alot of wisdom to share,” saidMapuche leader HugoAlcaman. “We’re proud ofbeing indigenous becausewe know of the wisdom thatwe have to offer to the world.”

AUSTIN, Texas, August 6,2015 (AP): A federal appealscourt declared that Texas’ strict2011 voter ID law has a “dis-criminatory effect” on minori-ties and violates the VotingRights Act. But the three-judgepanel’s unanimous, 49-pagedecision also overturned a lowercourt’s previous assertion thatthe law amounted to an uncon-stitutional “poll tax.” Here’s acloser look at the Wednesdayruling, the law and where thecase stands now.
WHAT DOES THE RUL-ING MEAN?
The U.S. 5th Circuit Court inNew Orleans found that Texas’law requiring residents to showstate-approved IDs in order tocast ballots violated Section 2of the Voting Rights Act, a 50-year old federal statute prohib-iting discrimination againstminorities. Its ruling followed adecision last year by the lower,Corpus-Christi-based U.S. Dis-trict Court that likened the lawto an unconstitutional “poll tax”that could require some poorTexans to pay to vote because offees associated with obtainingnecessary IDs. The rulingWednesday rejected the “polltax” finding since Texas hastaken steps to allow residents toreceive IDs for free. But it up-held the lower court’s assertionthat the effect of the law wasnonetheless discriminatory.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?The case returns to the U.S. Dis-
trict Court, which will have todecide whether the Texas Leg-islature intended to discrimi-nate against minority voterswhen it drafted and passed thelaw. Opponents of voter IDcheered Wednesday’s ruling asa victory _ albeit a narrow one.Republican Gov. Greg Abbott,who defended the law in courtas state attorney general beforebecoming governor in January,vowed that “Texas will con-tinue to fight for its voter IDrequirement to ensure the integ-rity of elections.”
WHAT EXACTLY IS THEVOTER ID LAW?
Approved by the GOP-con-trolled Texas Legislature in2011, the law requires voters toshow one of seven approvedforms of photo ID in order tovote, with or without a voterregistration card. Permissible IDsinclude a Texas driver’s license,U.S. passport, state-issued IDcard, Texas concealed handgunlicense or a U.S. military ID.
WHERE DOES THE LAWSTAND NOW?
The 2014 district court rul-ing struck down Texas’ voterID law, but it came just daysbefore the November election.To avoid confusion, the U.S.Supreme Court declared thatelections should go forwardunder the law, and it remainsenforced today. Texas, mean-while, appealed the DistrictCourt decision to the 5th Cir-cuit, prompting Wednesday’s
ruling. Even with the case on-going, Texas has now con-ducted three statewide elec-tions under the voter ID law.While there have been anec-dotal reports of confusion,there were not widespread is-sues with voters being unableto cast ballots because theylacked proper identification.
HOW DID THE COURTCASE AGAINST THE LAWBEGIN?
Advocates and legal ex-perts sued in federal court, ar-guing that Texas was deliber-ately discriminating againstpoor, largely minority votersby placing an undue burdenwith the ID requirement. TheObama administration subse-quently joined the case, furtherarguing that the law was dis-criminatory. It was initiallyblocked after a ruling that itcould violate the Voting RightsAct. But Texas was allowed toimplement the ID requirementsafter the U.S. Supreme Court in2013 struck down Section 5 ofthe act, which had required ninemostly Southern states with ahistory of discrimination toseek approval before chang-ing election laws. Still,Wednesday’s ruling found that,Section 5 aside, the law none-theless met the higher legalthreshold of violating the Vot-ing Rights Act’s Section 2,which requires proving thatit discriminated againstminority voters.
