This lecture defines Presidential Executive Orders as directives issued by the President to manage federal government operations, carrying the force of law without congressional approval. Executive orders enable Presidents to direct federal agencies and respond to national issues. They have played a role in shaping civil rights, military policy, and economic regulations.The President's authority to issue executive orders stems from Article II of the U.S. Constitution:The Take Care Clause (Art. II, §3) ensures the President oversees the execution of federal laws and policies.The Commander-in-Chief Clause (Art. II, §2) grants the President authority over the military.The Executive Power Clause (Art. II, §1) vests executive power in the President.Statutory Authority: Congress can delegate specific powers to the President through legislation.Executive orders are binding on federal agencies and do not require congressional approval, but they are subject to judicial review and can be repealed by a successor. Presidents use executive orders in various contexts:Administrative OrganizationForeign Policy and National SecurityRegulatory and Economic PolicyCivil Rights and Social IssuesEmergency ResponsePublic Health MeasuresEnergy and Environmental PolicyTechnology and CybersecurityCriminal Justice and Law EnforcementExecutive orders must derive authority from the Constitution or statute. Courts can invalidate executive orders that exceed constitutional or statutory authority. Congress can limit the effect of an executive order or refuse to fund initiatives enacted by it. Executive orders may face political resistance, public opinion, lawsuits, or congressional action. States may challenge executive orders that infringe upon state sovereignty. Executive orders do not have permanent legal standing and can be revoked or modified by future Presidents.Examples of executive orders include:Emancipation Proclamation (1863)Executive Order 9066 (1942)Desegregation of the Armed Forces (1948)Creation of the Environmental Protection Agency (1970)DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) (2012)Immigration Ban (2017)Equal Pay Initiative (1963)Cybersecurity and Critical Infrastructure Protection (2013)Climate Action Plan (2013)The “Buy American, Hire American” Order (2017)Other Presidential actions include presidential memoranda, presidential proclamations, national security directives, signing statements, presidential determinations, and presidential directives. Executive orders provide the President with a mechanism for efficient action, but their use is subject to constitutional and legal constraints.

The three-judge panel of the Fifth Circuit ruling on the case restricted the scope of the injunction to Texas to allow further appeals. DACA is, in my opinion, the toughest part of the illegal immigration catastrophe facing the United States to solve. DACA enrollees arrived in the United States as very young children when their parents or guardians illegally immigrated. They are culturally American and frequently can't speak the language of their home country and have no family or social ties to it. There are an estimated 580,000 DACA enrollees. DACA, as the Texas judge ruled has no basis in law. It does not even rise to the level of a regulation. DACA started out as a 2012 memorandum signed by Obama DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano. It was never an executive order. It never went through the rule-making process required by the Administrative Procedure Act. It has never been enacted into law by Congress. Ordinarily, any memo by a cabinet secretary ceases to have validity when they leave office, not so with DACA. When President Trump's DHS secretary rescinded the DACA memo based on the advice of the Attorney General of the United States, the Supreme Court held, in a 5-4 vote (guess how the Chief Justice voted), that the Trump administration was required to follow the Administrative Procedure Act to withdraw a memo that was never subjected to that act, see The Supreme Court Rules Trump Can't End the Illegal DACA Program Because Nothing Matters Anymore. This is the second time this particular case has been heard by the Fifth Circuit and the second time the Fifth Circuit has ruled DACA unconstitutional; see Fifth Circuit Rules DACA Is Illegal but Somehow It Keeps on Moving – RedState, The case is headed back to the Supreme Court, minus the rather stupid issue of whether a single memo by a cabinet secretary can masquerade as the law of the land.

Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, known as DACA, has given more than half a million immigrants protection from deportation since 2012. The program has allowed people brought to the United States as children to work, buy property, start businesses and raise families. The program has weathered plenty of challenges in its 12-year history, and now many recipients are worried that president-elect Donald Trump will try to end the program like he did during his first term. We talk with DACA recipients about how they are preparing for the future and what could happen next.

In a national survey conducted last month by Marist Poll for National Public Radio and PBS News, 44 percent of registered voters said immigration was a deciding factor in whom they support for president. Another 43 percent said it was an important factor. In this series, we examine what drew recent immigrants to the Highlands, the process they undergo to stay and the effect on local schools. Leer en español. Growing up in Cold Spring, Will Biavati looked and sounded like most of his friends. His skin was white like most of his Haldane classmates. His English was perfect with no trace of an accent. "I fit in with the local demographic," said Biavati, who graduated in 2010. "No one could ever tell me apart." But Biavati had a secret that did set him apart: He was undocumented. He is Brazilian, smuggled across the Tijuana border at age 11, hiding in a van with his mother. That was his second immigration violation. The first came 10 years earlier when he overstayed a tourist visa with his parents. Living in the shadows, Biavati said, the family code was to keep quiet, hoping that "as long as we don't draw attention to ourselves, we can spare ourselves harassment." So Biavati was known at Haldane as a "quiet kid" who kept to himself and attended few parties. He never let on that he didn't drive or work because undocumented immigrants at the time couldn't get driver's licenses or Social Security numbers. And forget about dating. "You can't impress someone if you can't pick them up in your car or don't have money to take them out to dinner," said Biavati. "It was a lonely experience." Everything changed on July 15, 2012, when President Barack Obama announced the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA. His executive order allowed undocumented people who came to the country as children to obtain work permits under certain conditions, such as being enrolled in school, earning a high school or General Educational Development (GED) diploma and having no criminal record. For Biavati, DACA opened a path to his first job: stocking shelves and working the register at Foodtown in Cold Spring. There he met Ashley Bassett, who graduated from Haldane two years before he did. They married in 2018 in a rooftop wedding in Long Island City and now have a 2-year-old son, Nathan, and live in an apartment in Wappingers Falls. Biavati, who is a film location scout, is one of 530,000 DACA "dreamers." But it's a tenuous existence. "It could be erased at any moment," he noted. DACA has been repeatedly challenged and its legality is under review by a federal appeals court. As president, Donald Trump tried to end the program and has pledged mass deportations if re-elected. Finding a path to legal status is challenging for immigrants working and living in the Highlands and lower Hudson Valley. Besides DACA, federal law provides several methods to getting documents, such as a work permit or green card, which allows residency and often leads to citizenship. Those paths include marrying a citizen, receiving asylum from persecution in your native country and hardship exemptions. It's unclear how many undocumented immigrants live in the Highlands, although there are about 850,000 in New York state, with most in New York City, according to the Migration Policy Institute, a think tank in Washington, D.C. If immigration court data and census data is indicative, the numbers have risen dramatically over the past two decades in Putnam and Dutchess counties. Most come from Central and South America. About 13 percent of Latinos are undocumented, according to the federal government. Paths to Legal Status If you were not born in the U.S. or its territories, you must be naturalized to become a citizen. To do that, you must be a lawful permanent resident (i.e., have a green card) for at least five years, three years if married to a citizen or at basic training if serving in the Armed Forces. You also must pass tests in English language and civics. When a pa...

In this episode, Samantha Oberstein, the managing attorney at NPZ Law Group's Fort Lauderdale office, discusses the complexities of transitioning from DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) to obtaining a green card for those married to U.S. citizens. Samantha provides a comprehensive overview of DACA, including the importance of a valid entry into the U.S., the role of advanced parole, and the need for careful legal planning given the uncertain future of DACA policies. Tune in to learn about the critical steps and considerations for DACA recipients seeking permanent residency.
DACA, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, is a policy President Obama enacted by executive order in 2012. It's had a rocky legal journey, but when it was still accepting new applications, DACA was open to undocumented young people who graduated from high school or served in the military and were brought to the U.S. as children. The program has given roughly 800,000 people access to things like a driver's license, a social security number, and a work permit. When the Trump Administration came into office, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that things would be changing. "I am here today to announce that the program known as DACA under the Obama administration is being rescinded." ~Former AG Jeff Sessions That was September, 2017. Within hours, immigration attorney Luis Cortes Romero – a DACA recipient himself based in Kent, Washington – helped assemble a team of legal heavy-hitters and plaintiffs who were committed to taking on the Trump Administration in federal court. Cortes Romero and his colleagues took the fight all the way to the highest court in the land and successfully defended DACA. In the process, he became the first undocumented person to help argue a case before the U.S. Supreme Court. Now, Luis Cortes Romero is the subject of a new documentary, called “From Here/From There (De Aquí/De Allá)”, which premieres on the PBS series VOCES tomorrow, Tuesday, July 9th.GUEST: Luis Cortes Romero RELATED LINKS: ‘From Here/From There' (De Aqui/de Alla): The Extraordinary Journey of Luis Cortes Romero – People's World Luis Cortes-Romero, a lawyer and DACA recipient, on his team's Supreme Court victory.

President Biden addressed the nation yesterday, unveiling more executive action on the border. On the 12th anniversary of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, the President announced a new program that would grant legal status and citizenship to an estimated 500,000 illegal immigrants married to U.S. citizens. Former acting Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security and executive director and chair of the Center for Homeland Security and Immigration at the America First Policy Institute, Chad Wolf, joins the Rundown to discuss how President Biden's executive order impacts immigration and what more can be done on border policy to stem the flow of illegal migrants. The first presidential debate with President Biden and former President Trump is next week in Atlanta. However, the Biden campaign has already ramped up the personal attacks against his opponent, zeroing in on the fact that former President Trump is now a convicted felon. The ad is running in swing states, aiming to persuade undecided and independent voters.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (05/08/2024): 3:05pm- On Tuesday, adult film star Stormy Daniels testified in the Donald Trump “hush money” case—offering salacious details about her alleged affair with the former president in 2006. But why was Daniels permitted to provide over-the-top testimony that was immaterial to the charges being brought against Trump? Is the purpose simply to humiliate Trump even if the court isn't able to convict him of any crimes? Rich notes that Judge Juan Merchan's daughter—Loren Merchan—is president of Authentic Campaigns, which is a progressive political consulting firm whose Democrat clients have raised an estimated $93 million via “solicitation emails” referencing the trial, according to a report from The New York Post. Trump has been charged with attempting to conceal payments made to Daniels. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg alleges that the payment concealment amounted to falsified business records which influenced the 2016 election.

Can solutions to California's housing crisis be found in how we used to design and build homes in the past, namely smaller multifamily dwellings in neighborhoods and cities with fewer zoning restrictions. That topic is explored by Los Angeles urban planner Max Podemski. In his new book, A Paradise of Small Houses. I met up with Podemski in the L.A. neighborhood of Eagle Rock. In California, tens of thousands of immigrants with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals will soon be able to get health insurance. That's after President Joe Biden on Friday announced that those with DACA can enroll in Affordable Care Act coverage. The union representing some 48 thousand academic workers in the UC system is planning to hold a strike authorization vote as early as this week over what they say is the university's crackdown on pro-Palestinian protests. The decision to consider striking gained momentum after police action at UCLA that led to more than 200 arrests early last week. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

GUEST BIO Soo Jin Lee is a licensed therapist, the author of 'Where I Belong: Healing Trauma and Embracing Asian American Identity,' and a guiding force at the Yellow Chair Collective. Her journey from an undocumented immigrant to a mental health advocate shapes her unique approach to healing. When not writing or in session, she's reconnecting with nature on a hike. Let's dive into her story!. Instagram | TikTok | YouTube | Facebook | LinkedIn | Web DEFINITIONS DREAM act:short for The Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act, is a United States legislative proposal to grant temporary conditional residency, with the right to work, to illegal immigrants who entered the United States as minors—and, if they later satisfy further qualifications, they would attain permanent residency. It was first introduced in 2001 and has been reintroduced multiple times since, but has never gotten majority votes from either house of the U.S. congress. In 2012, President Obama signed an executive branch memorandum called the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals initiative, DACA for short, which provided a temporary reprieve from deportation to qualified unauthorized immigrants who came to the U.S. as children. In 2017, the Trump administration announced the program's termination. MENTIONED "Where I Belong: Healing Trauma & Embracing Asian American Identity" TAKEAWAYS Undocumented migrants take great risks to come here because they believe in the American dream so much, but often have no chance of getting a work visa if they are poor or uneducated. People will do anything if it means a better future for their kids. Undocumented migrants are often very self-conscious about their status and eager to prove they are hard working, and self-sufficient. They are diligent about paying their taxes and steer clear of anything resembling government aid. Many, like Soo Jin's father, even create businesses that employ Americans. This is not the portrayal we see in the news very often, but it is an important one. Undocumented migrants can be smart professionals, they can be Asian, they can be entrepreneurs and employers. They aren't a monolith. Mental health and wellness can and should look different depending on who you are and what you value. Especially for our elders, healing can come from sharing memories, teaching the next generation their family recipes or their favorite games, instead of going to therapy and talking about their traumas.

Up first is the DACA series, featuring host Brian De Los Santos's story of visiting his birth country of Mexico for the first time since he was 2 years old. Original episode descriptions below. #87: Brian is surprised by a letter from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. It's his Advance Parole document. He can travel to Mexico – his country of birth – for the first time in 30 years. The days ahead become a sprint to prepare and make travel plans. He only has a month to return to the U.S., or he could lose DACA and be denied reentry. "Finding Home con DACA" is a special three-part series from LAist Studios and How To LA. Part 1 follows Brian as he prepares for his journey and dives into the Advance Parole process – all the way through the moment he leaves LA. We'll continue with Brian into Mexico next Thursday in Part 2: "Hecho en Mexico."

On today's podcast: 1) Israel and Hamas extended their truce late Monday after agreeing to release more hostages and prisoners and Washington said it was dispatching its top diplomat to the region for more talks over the conflict in Gaza. 2) Elon Musk was in Israel being welcomed by the nation's political elite — including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — to visit the region where the Islamic militant group Hamas murdered 1,200 people on Oct. 7. 3) European stocks fell for a second day and US futures pointed to a weaker open on Wall Street amid signs the November rally in equities is overstretched. Full Transcript: Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today. First, you want to get to the latest developments in the Middle East. Israel and Hamas have agreed to extend their truth. They will pause fighting until early Thursday. That brings the halt to six days, and we get the latest from Bloomberg's Rosalind Matheson. What we know is that this extension, which was somewhat expected, is likely to be under the same terms as we've seen so far, which is roughly, for every one hostage released by Harmas one Israeli hostage, that there's at least three Palestinian hostages released in turn by the Israelis. That's about a one for three exchange. What we do know is that those exchanges have happened so far every day in the truth, even if they've happened sometimes quite late in the day because there has been continued arguing through the day about some of the terms and conditions. Bloomberg's Roz Mathison says the truce comes as Secretary of Saint Anthony Blinken heads to Israel for the third time since the Hamas attack. Well, Nathan Elon Musk says he liked to help rebuild Gaza after the war with Hamas. The billionaire was in Israel yesterday and made the comments in a conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nettan Yahoo. Those who are intended motor must be neutralized. Then the propaganda must stop. That is training people to be murtorers in the future, and then and then making Gaza prosperous. And if that happens, I think will be good future. Well, I hope you will be involved in it, and I'd love to help and muss Israel Visit appears to be an effort to diffuse a growing backlash over his endorsement of an anti Semitic tweet. Last week. Corporations including Apple and Walt Disney stopped advertising on Eggs over concerns of increasing anti Semitism and hate speech on the site since he purchased it well Karen. The first of three US military relief flights carrying aid for the Gaza Strip is set to arrive in Egypt later today. Senior US official say the flights will carry winter clothing, food, medical items, and supplies specifically for children. This comes as the Biden administration seeks to escalate assistance to Palestinian civilians amid pressure from fellow Democrats. Well, Nathan ad to Israel is one of the issues of waiting lawmakers on Capitol Hill. The House is back in session today after the holiday break. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says he wants to vote as soon as next week on one hundred and six billion dollars in aid to Israel, Ukraine, and border security, but former Republican Congressman mcmulvaney says it'll be tough to pass it all before the end of the year because Congress is not facing a government shut down deadline by then. Typically big deals would get done at Christmas and again right before the August recess because that's when Congress wants to go home. Well, they don't have the sort of the sword of Damicles to hold over the members right now because the funding deals go beyond Christmas, and former Congressman mcmulvaney says Israel aid could pass alone before Christmas because it has bipartisan support. And he was guest on Bloomberg's sound On. Get the full interview on the sound On podcast. Well, meanwhile, Karen President Biden is cautioning corporations against taking advantage of inflation relief. We get that story from Bloomberg's Ed Baxter. President Biden has taken credit for easing supply chain pressures and lowering inflation, but says more needs to be done. Let me be clear, to any corporation that's not brought their prices back down, even as inflation has come down, even supply chains have been rebuilt, it's time to stop the price gouging. You've given the American consumer a break. Biden also says he set up a council review supply chain actions, calling it an early warning system. Head Baxter Bloomberg Radio, All right, Ed, thank you well. We turn to the markets now, and it's shaping up to be a November two remember. We get the latest from Bloomberg's John Tucker. John and Karen stocks have rallied more than eight percent, marking one of their strongest gains for the month since records began. Signs of slowing inflation and measured jobs growth have also unleashed a treasury rally, with scent yields tumbling for their highest and more than a decade, and those lower yields mean the dollar is headed for its steepest monthly drop in a year. There's a consensus that not only has the Fed stop raising interest rates, but investors are pricing in around ninety five basis points of rate cuts into the end of next year. Well, not everybody's on board with a bowl case. Strategists that city groups say underlying bullish signs from futures flows are starting to fade. I'm John Tucker, Bloomberg Radio. Okay, John, thanks, you got some news on the IPO market this morning. Sources tell Bloomberg Reddit is again holding talks with potential investors for an initial public offering for the social media company, and we get that story from Bloomberg's Charlie Pellett. Hope Folds aren't preparing for a long awaited reopening of the market for new listings, sources say. The San Francisco based firm, whose users help fuel the meme stock frenzy that made twenty twenty one a ban a year for equities, is weighing an IPO as soon as the first quarter. Bloomberg news last year that Reddit was working with Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs on the listing and was considering a valuation of as much as fifteen billion dollars in New York. Charlie Pellett, Bloomberg Radio, all right, Charlie, thank you well, fast fashion retailer.

Bloomberg News has learned the online retailer, which was founded in China's working with Goldman Sachs, JP, Morgan Chase and Morgan Stanley on the listing.

Scandal plagued New York Republican Representative George Santos has acknowledged he expects to be expelled from the House as soon as this week. House Speaker Mike Johnson was asked if there would be a vote on the fate of mister Santos as soon as this week. We've spoken to Coxsman Santos at some length over the holiday and talked to him about his options, but we'll have to see. It's not yet determined. The latest blow came in the form of a fifty six page report from the Health Ethics Committee released earlier this month, outlining substantial evidence that mister Santos violated federal law. The Justice Department has charged Santo's with conspiracy, wire fraud, fallse statements, falsification of records, aggravated identity theft, and credit card fraud. Border security is a key part of a broader legislative deal that lawmakers want to complete before the end of this year, but lawmakers are not likely to include a pathway to citizenship for young immigrants protected by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program in the border deal wrapped in that conversation a national security funding request from the White House, including eight for Ukraine. Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer. The biggest hold up to the national security supplement is an insistence by some Republicans, just some on partisan border policy as a condition for Ukraine aid. Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut, a top Democratic negotiator in those talks, says wild Daka is a priority that Democrats would want to see included in the deal, it does not align with what Republicans want the final bill to look like. A Moscow court has extended the detention of US reporter Avan Gershkovich. Gershkovich was arrested in Russia earlier this year. He's accused of spying. Today's hearing was held behind closed doors, no press allowed inside. His detention will be extended through January thirtieth.

This is Bloomberg from coast to coast, from New York to San Francisco, Boston to Washington, DC, nationwide on Syrias Exam, the Bloomberg Business app, and Bloomberg dot Com. This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. We continue to watch for further developments in the Middle East now at the ceasefire between Israel and hamas into overtime, and the expectation more hostages will be freed from Gaza in exchange for Palestinian prisoners joining us once again from Tel Aviv is Bloomberg, Simon Marx, Simon good morning. What is the expectation is it's still going to be one hostage for every three Palestinian prisoners, and that's how this is going to continue to go. Yes, that does seem exactly how it's supposed to go ahead. The Katari government has built out a statement very recently saying that the terms and conditions of this truce will be identical to what we've seen the previous four days. So that is going to take us through to Thursday morning here, so an extra two days, and we're going to see in the coming sort of forty eight hours whether that can be extended once again for another two days. Beyond that, there is some speculation that there could be another bit of wiggle room there. Do we know at this point or have we gotten any clue as to how many hostages could be released today? And whether there'll be any Americans on the list. Yes, so you know we're looking yes, the same as yesterday essentially, which was eleven off the hostages in return for thirty three or so Palestinian prisoners. That is the expectation there. Obviously weren't any Americans involved the last time round, but there is a lot of backchanneling going on to try and make sure that the US hostages do get out, although some sort of feel that, you know this, this will wait till the very last moment, obviously due to the relationship between Hamas and the US, and along with back channeling, it looks like there could be some more front channeling as well, with Secretary of State Antity blink and expected to arrive your way any moment. Now, what's the expectation for what the Secretary of State plans to do on this third visit to the region since the October seventh attack. Yes, indeed, so the Secretary of State has obviously been here multiple times. This time he's coming in towards the end of the week, we believe, and is going to focus on talks aimed at a more lasting, peaceful solution for the Palestinian territories. Of the Palestinian State. He will bring this up, whether or not he's going to get any traction. There is another question with Israel obviously planning to recommence their offensive in the Gaza Strip, and another focus of his will be to make sure more aid, more humanitarian cover is brought into the Gaza Strip. The UN have been very vocal, and you know right up into recent hours that more is needed, especially in the north of the strip where you have thousands of isolated people who haven't received much aid at all. It's interesting to hear a lot more talk now about what comes after, not just the ceasefire, but after the war itself. You mentioned Secretary of State Blincoln talking about a lasting solution to the crisis. We even heard from Elon Musko all people yesterday in Israel talking about wanting to rebuild in Gaza after the war is over. How much pressure is there on Israel right now to try to come to some kind of resolution of this crisis. There is a growing pressure, and I think there's a growing demand from partners from the Gulf, including the US, to understand what Israel's plan actually is. They haven't really expressed it. There is this notion obviously that the Netzenyahu government want to keep the West Bankcupied territories separated from the Gaza Strip. That obviously flies in the face of what the international community want in terms of a two state solution which would unify these two Palestinian territories. So there's so much to be ironed out, and I think that's probably some of the questions that Anthony Blincoln is going to want answers to when he arrives. Are we seeing that pressure Simon coming just from partners from the international community, or is Prime Minister Nettagna, who coming under some domestic pressure as well, got about a minute left. Well, yeah, obviously within Israel there is a quite a right wing government here at the moment. There are senior members of Nettaya who's Netanya whose cabinet, who are far on the right and very much against this idea of a two state solution and want to see a continued Israeli security presence inside the Gaza Strip. They have very little faith in any to come out of the Gaza Strip. So clearly Netanyahu's going to have to thread the needle here between what the international community wants and the pressures he's facing internally to be much more hardlined. Okay, Simon, thanks for this. We'll be checking back with you in the days and weeks to come. Simon Marks of Bloomberg News joining us this morning from Tel Aviv on day five now of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, with the expectation that more hostages will be released today in exchange for Palestinian prisoners out of Israel.

Trump's GOP allies in the House are weaponizing an impeachment inquiry. Without any proof of wrongdoing, it seems clear this is an attempt to destroy Trump's political opponent. A ruling by a federal judge this week puts DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) at risk. The federal policy prevents immigrants brought to the US as children from deportation. The judge sided with nine states suing to stop DACA setting up another expected appeal to the US Supreme Court. We'll ask former federal prosecutor David Katz about these stories and more. Mark is back in the Captain's Chair for this Thursday edition of The Mark Thompson Show!
On June 15th, 2012 former President Barack Obama shocked the country when he walked onto the White House lawn and announced the executive order DACA or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. But who made it happen? On this episode of Out of the Shadows: Dreamers, Patty and Erick explore how behind the scenes a group of undocumented students turned activists pushed President Obama and his administration to pass DACA.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The reinforcements were carried aboard the USS Bataan and USS Carter Hall warships, providing “greater flexibility and maritime capability” to the Fifth Fleet, the statement seen by AFP added. Their arrival followed a U.S. announcement last month it would deploy a destroyer, F-35 and F-16 warplanes, along with the Amphibious Readiness Group/Marine Expeditionary Unit, to the Middle East to deter Iran from seizing ships in the Gulf. The U.S. military says Iran has either seized or attempted to take control of nearly 20 internationally flagged ships in the region over the past two years and the Biden White House wants to see more forces in the region to stand ready to engage Iran if required, as Breitbart News reported. USS Bataan is an amphibious assault ship which can carry fixed-wing and rotary aircraft as well as landing craft. The USS Carter Hall, a dock landing ship, transports Marines, their gear, and lands them ashore. “These units add significant operational flexibility and capability as we work… to deter destabilising activity and deescalate regional tensions caused by Iran’s harassment and seizures of merchant vessels,” Fifth Fleet spokesman Commander Tim Hawkins told AFP The deployment comes after Washington said its forces blocked two attempts by Iran to seize commercial tankers in international waters off Oman on July 5. About a fifth of the world’s crude oil and oil products passes through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow choke point between Iran and Oman. https://thepostmillennial.com/must-watch-mike-pence-accidentally-admits-he-had-legal-ability-to-turn-2020-election-over-to-house-of-representatives?utm_campaign=64487 Mike Pence accidentally ADMITS he had legal ability to turn 2020 election over to House of Representatives Following Trump’s arraignment on "conspiracy" charges last week, the 2024 GOP frontrunner’s former vice president, Mike Pence, said that the 2020 election results would have been turned over to the House of Representatives if he rejected the Electoral College votes. https://twitter.com/i/status/1688640553808801792 - Play Video On Thursday, Trump was arraigned on charges of conspiracy to defraud the government, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights. He pleaded not guilty. In the indictment from Special Counsel Jack Smith, he alleges that Trump enlisted six co-conspirators to "assist him in his criminal efforts to overturn the legitimate results of the 2020 presidential election and retain power." The indictment alleges that Trump was "determined to remain in power" after the 2020 election, and for the two months following the election "the Defendant spread lies that there had been outcome-determinative fraud in the election and that he actually won." "After it became public on the afternoon of January 6 that the Vice President would not fraudulently alter the election results, a large and angry crowd—including many individuals whom the Defendant had deceived into believing the Vice President could and might change the election results—violently attacked the Capitol and halted the proceeding. As violence ensued, the Defendant and co-conspirators exploited the disruption by redoubling efforts to levy false claims of election fraud and convince Members of Congress to further delay the certification based on those claims," the indictment stated. Pence is currently running against his former administration partner for the GOP nomination, with Pence usually polling in the single digits While Trump leads anywhere from 40 to 60 points. https://redstate.com/bonchie/2023/08/06/sikh-man-who-turned-the-tables-on-shoplifter-facing-criminal-charges-n788588 Sikh Man Who Turned the Tables on Shoplifter Facing Criminal Charges As RedState reported, a Sikh convenience store owner turned the tables on a shoplifter as he attempted to get away with thousands of dollars of stolen merchandise. The viral scene unfolded in California, showing a man shoveling entire shelves worth of tobacco and other products into a trash can while taunting the owner with proclamations that “there’s nothing you can do.” The shoplifter quickly learned that wasn’t true, though, as he was tackled to the ground and beaten with a rod. https://twitter.com/i/status/1686713571994959872 - Play 1:15-1:56 Apparently, while many California cities have no desire to actually enforce the laws against people who steal from business owners and put them in financial peril, they are interested in enforcing battery laws involving the protection of said businesses. According to a new report, the Sikh man is now facing criminal charges as local police investigate the incident. Some are making the argument that the force used on the shoplifter in the video was excessive, and as a purely legal matter, that may be true. The shoplifter was begging for mercy while the store owner continued to swing back and strike him. The question is at what point the store owner is expected to disengage, and he likely passed that point. Still, I think that argument misses the broader point of what normally law-abiding citizens are dealing with and what the ultimate consequences are of refusing to enforce the law against criminal vagrants. These business owners (and also just people walking down the street) are being ignored by local police and prosecutors as they are harassed, assaulted, and stolen from. It was just a matter of time before someone reached their breaking point and lashed out. https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/education/sunillegal-immigrants-colleges-soars-nearly-2-population-study-finds Illegal immigrants in colleges soar to nearly 2% of population, study finds At least 408,000 students without legal documentation to be in the country enrolled in U.S. colleges and universities, yet another system impacted by the surge in illegal immigration, according to a new study. The new report by the American Immigration Council and the Presidents’ Alliance on Higher Education, found that undocumented migrants now account for nearly 2 percent of the higher education population. The vast majority, the authors noted, arrived in the U.S. in their formative years, either as children or teenagers and most often through president Barack Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program that blocked deportation of certain foreign youth. These students, often referred to as "Dreamers," have grown up in “American neighborhoods and attended American schools,” and now they are attending U.S. colleges, often on the American taxpayers' dime. Recent data shows that taxpayers pay $182 billion each year to provide services and benefits to illegals and their dependents. The current total of illegal alien college students actually represents a slight decrease from 2019, when 427,000 undocumented students were enrolled in U.S. colleges and universities. The report noted that “undocumented students in higher education are concentrated in a small number of states.” In fact, 75 percent of undocumented students reside in 12 states. The vast majority of this 75 percent hail from just four states: California, Texas, Florida and New York. The study also gives significant detail on which colleges and universities are the biggest draw for illegal aliens: more than 77 percent are enrolled in “public two- and four-year colleges and universities, with a significant proportion of these students attending community colleges,” it said.

Megan Rapinoe Ends Her Career with Missed Penalty Kick that Costs U.S. the World Cup The international career of Megan Rapinoe ended in a dramatic penalty shoot-out against Sweden on Sunday with her failed kick at goal helping to send the U.S.A. team crashing out of the soccer World Cup underway in New Zealand and Australia. Rapinoe and Sophia Smith missed penalties that could have given the U.S. the win, and Kelley O’Hara missed the Americans’ final shot to give Sweden the opening it needed. Rapinoe, who I’ve covered in the past, spoke to the media afterwards. https://twitter.com/i/status/1688167422371536896 - Play Video The result ended the international career of Rapinoe, the Golden Boot winner of the 2019 tournament who is retiring after the World Cup. It is the earliest exit in tournament history for the United States, four-time winners of the World Cup. The United States claimed the last two Women’s World Cups and four of the eight editions held before this year’s event Down Under. They had never gone out before the semi-final stage. This time they have been sent packing in the last 16 having won just one game and that an unconvincing 3-0 defeat of Vietnam. Brought off the bench against Sweden, her final act for her country was to put her penalty over the bar and send her country’s hopes with it into oblivion. Plenty of soccer fans on twitter moved to voice their exasperation with her final effort. https://twitter.com/i/status/1688169005104648192 - Play Video Rapinoe pushes that equal pay talk, and then this happens… gotta love it.

From December 7, 2020: Jack Goldsmith spoke with Adam Cox and Christina Rodríguez, the authors of "The President and Immigration Law," a new book about the historical rise and operation of a president-dominated immigration system. They discussed the various ways that Congress has delegated extraordinary power over immigration to the president, how what the authors call "de facto delegation" confers massive presidential enforcement discretion that is the basis for programs like the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, and the benefits, costs and legal limits of this system. They also discussed what President Donald Trump accomplished with his immigration program during his term in office and President-elect Biden's possible immigration agenda.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

On this day in history, in 1921, William Howard Taft was sworn in as the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court after having served a term as president ten years prior. Taft remains the only person to have been both president and a Supreme Court Justice, much less Chief Justice.William Howard Taft was born in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1857. He graduated from Yale University and Cincinnati Law School, then began his career in private practice. He served as an assistant prosecutor, a judge, and the Solicitor General of the United States. In 1901, he was named Civilian Governor of the Philippines, and in 1904, he became Secretary of War. In 1908, he was elected President of the United States, and served one term. After leaving the White House, he taught constitutional law at Yale University and served as Joint Chairman of the War Labor Board. In 1921, he was nominated Chief Justice of the United States, and served in that role until his death in 1930.And, before you ask, no, there is no evidence that Taft ever got stuck in a bathtub. The story is a myth that has been around for many years, but there is no proof that it actually happened.Taft was a large man, weighing over 300 pounds, and comments about his weight were common.. In fact, there is some evidence that suggests that the story is not true. It is known that Taft had a custom-made bathtub installed in the White House, which was specifically designed for him. Taft was a middling president and a … just okay jurist.Donald Trump and his aide, Walt Nauta, have asked a federal court in Florida to postpone their criminal trial in the Mar-a-Lago documents case. Prosecutors had already asked for a delay until December 11, but Trump's lawyers said that would not give them enough time to prepare. They argued that a December trial would be untenable in view of the logistical demands of Trump's presidential election bid, the potentially large amount of evidence they might need to review, and other cases he faces.The documents case will unfold under a strict set of rules prescribed by the Classified Information Procedures Act. Trump's lawyers said that the government's requested schedule was "unrealistic" and that the court should withdraw the current order setting trial and postpone any consideration of a new trial date. The U.S. Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Trump seeks to delay trial in Mar-a-Lago documents case | ReutersA federal appeals court in Richmond, Va., declined to extend workplace protections to a Mexican citizen in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program who claimed ExxonMobil Corp. unlawfully used his immigration status to rescind a paid internship offer. The US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit affirmed a lower court order dismissing a proposed class action lodged by DACA recipient Aldo De Leon Resendiz. The lower court correctly found that DACA isn't protected by federal anti-bias law, and Exxon's hiring policy treats job applicants according to their immigration status. De Leon also cited the US Supreme Court's June 2021 ruling in Bostock v. Clayton County, Ga. to bolster their discrimination claims.Exxon Defeats DACA Recipient's Job Bias Suit at Fourth CircuitTexas leaders have reached a $18 billion deal to cut property taxes and reduce the franchise tax. The compromise plan includes reducing the school property tax rate for homeowners and business properties, creating a tax-credit pilot program for non-homesteaded properties, and providing relief on the franchise tax for businesses. The bills and a constitutional amendment to enact the tax cuts are expected to pass in both chambers this week. Governor Greg Abbott will sign the legislation, which would provide the largest property tax cut in Texas history. The tax plan would double the franchise tax exemption to $2.47 million, benefiting nearly 67,000 businesses.Additionally, the bill eliminates a "nuisance-tax" requirement for taxpayers who file no-tax-due forms for franchise taxes. The measure also includes a provision for reducing the property tax rate for the maintenance and operation component of school district taxation. Non-homesteaded real property valued at $5 million and under will receive a 20% circuit-breaker on appraised value increases as a three-year pilot project. A property tax so-called “circuit breaker” is just a refund given to low income individuals when their property tax liability exceeds a given threshold of their income – here, 20%.Texas Lawmakers Reach Deal to Cut Property Taxes, Franchise TaxThe owners of generative artificial intelligence models are seeking to improve them by asking for forgiveness rather than permission. Two lawsuits were filed against OpenAI last month, one over scraped private data and another over copyrighted books. The problem is, if creators of books and other media cannot be readily identified in such lawsuits, they won't be able to receive compensation – and even if they are, they'll be paid pennies. Only a tax on AI can recapture some of the value generated by unidentifiable creators and redistribute toward projects furthering social good.Ameliorating externalities is a major goal of tax policy, as they are adjunct transactional costs not considered in the exchange between the transaction's parties. For example, if a builder negotiates a price for building a shed, they may not consider the cost of sourcing lumber if they are sourcing it from the local park, absent being compelled to do so. They are being paid for labor and lumber, but only truly owed for labor. In the case of a large language model like GPT-4, the algorithm is the labor, but the data it has ingested to "learn" about language is the lumber.Furthermore, the remuneration owed to creators shouldn't be keyed to the market value of those works, as the works are intangible property and aren't being reproduced in their entirety by the model. They aren't displacing a purchase of the material in the marketplace, they're being used for something heretofore not considered – something new. Remunerating society for the use of these works is the wheelhouse of tax policy, not individual infringement suits or the copyright regime writ large.The pursuit of ad-hoc lawsuits or class action lawsuits allows OpenAI or owners of similar models the ability to pay one time and gain access to all the world's knowledge. This incentive encourages them to move quickly and infringe things to maximize the value they can gain in exchange for whatever settlement would be.I argue a nimble 'data crawl' tax policy is needed to address the challenges of taxing AI parameters and determining the percentage of the value to be taxed for crawled public data. One possibility is to tax models according to their parameters, which can be thought of as bits of knowledge derived by the model from data it has been shown.We Need a ChatGPT Tax to Compensate Society for AI's Blunders Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe
A longstanding immigrant protection program could be struck down by a federal court in Texas. A judge is expected to hand down a decision this month about the legality of DACA, or the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. It protects undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children from deportation. We hear from some of them struggling with life in limbo as they await the judge's ruling.

Then he got DACA -- Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. It let him get a driver's license, get a work permit and helped him build a successful career as a journalist. But even with DACA, Brian wasn't able to the leave the county to visit even visit family. That is, until he qualified for something called “Advance Parole.” In part 2 of Finding Home con DACA, Brian finally sets foot in Mexico.

[WLHA 011]: We Live Here Auténtico! | Ricardo Martinez | DACA Dreams Realized Today we are talking to Ricardo Martinez. Born in Mexico, Ricardo is a DACA recipient who grew up in Illinois. His passion for helping Spanish speakers with financial literacy is fueled by his entrepreneurial journey and of course, his love for St. Louis. Ricardo came to the United States when he was five years old and spent most of his life in central Illinois. At heart, he would say he was a “mid-Midwesterner”. He never really understood how different he was different until later. Ricardo's parents were immigrants and they jumped at the chance for deferred action. The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, also known as DACA, enabled roughly 832,881 eligible young adults work lawfully, attend school, and plan their lives without the threat of deportation. It provides temporary relief from deportation (deferred action) and grants authorization to work for young undocumented immigrants. For Ricardo's parents, it meant their children would have temporary, renewable permission to be in the United States. Meanwhile, they had to learn how to make things work without documentation of their own. Every two years they essentially lived day-to-day without knowing, for sure, if DACA would continue or not. For Ricardo, DACA granted the opportunity to keep moving forward. According to the Migration Policy Institute, more than 1.3 million U.S. residents were eligible for DACA as originally implemented and it is estimated that the average DACA recipient arrived in the United States in 1999 at the age of 7. More than one-third of DACA recipients (37 percent) arrived before the age of 5. Ricardo's background, culture and journey are an integral part of what led him to help the Hispanic community. Ricardo founded JuntosAdelante.com, a personal finance website dedicated to helping Spanish speakers understand the American personal finance system. He then founded CentralJA, a digital marketing agency focused on helping Spanish speaking business pivot their business online. What does living Auténtico mean to you? Living Auténtico means understanding who you are and being able to share that with everyone. It means understanding and being able to embrace that you can be yourself, learn who you are and keep building on that. You do not have to be what everyone refers you to be.

A federal appeals court rules that Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, was unlawful when President Obama created it in 2012. What happens to the Dreamers already protected by the policy? Is this heading to the Supreme Court? And is there any hope in Congress for an immigration deal that both protects the Dreamers and fixes the border crisis? Learn more about your ad choices.

This year marks the 10-year anniversary of DACA, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program set up by the Obama administration. Under the program, hundreds of thousands of young undocumented immigrants have received protection from deportation and the opportunity to officially participate in the American economy. It’s estimated that DACA recipients contribute more than $9 billion in federal, state and local taxes annually. But DACA was supposed to be a temporary fix in lieu of comprehensive immigration reform. So a decade later, why is it still on shaky legal ground, and where’s the real reform? “The dollars and cents, the costs and benefits of DACA are very clear in terms of positive impacts to individuals, families and to the broader American economy. But when we think about DACA, it is very much steeped in the broader debate over comprehensive immigration reform. And when we talk about that debate over comprehensive immigration reform, we are talking about a highly political, highly partisan and highly contentious debate over who we are as a country,” said Tom Wong, professor of political science at the University of California, San Diego, and director of the U.S. Immigration Policy Center at the UCSD. On the show today, we discuss how DACA has changed the economic lives of recipients, where it stands today and how it’s influencing the broader immigration debate. In the News Fix, we’ll also discuss the promise of commercial supersonic airplanes and the economics of hearing aids. Plus, we’ll hear from listeners about DACA, a lesson about inflation for kids and what an EV driver learned about her car. Here’s everything we talked about today: “What Is DACA? And Where Does It Stand Now?” from The New York Times “2021 Survey of DACA Recipients Underscores the Importance of a Pathway to Citizenship” from The Center for American Progress “Immigrant advocates after W.H. meeting: ‘Next steps' on policy remain unclear” from Politico “American Air Bets on New Supersonic Era, Orders 20 Boom Jets” from Bloomberg “F.D.A.

It's been ten years since the Obama administration announced Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA. The policy provided protection from deportation for hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants brought to the US as children.President Obama called it a "temporary stopgap measure," at the time, but Congress hasn't passed any legislation in the intervening years to create permanent protection for the people covered by DACA.Last year, a federal judge in Texas ruled the program is illegal, and the program is essentially frozen in place while the Biden administration appeals. Current DACA recipients can reapply, but the administration can't grant any new applications. NPR's Joel Rose reports that that has left roughly 80,000 DACA applications indefinitely on hold.Two early DACA recipients and advocates for undocumented immigrants, Diana Pliego and Esder Chong, discuss how they view the program, on its tenth anniversary.

Julio and guest co-host Jamilah King, deputy inequality editor at BuzzFeed News, talk about the first public hearing on the January 6 attempted coup at the U.S. Capitol. They also get into the Congressional hearing in response to gun violence and the mass shootings in Buffalo and Uvalde last month. And, they discuss the media coverage of a migrant caravan traveling to the U.S. through Mexico, and the upcoming 10 year anniversary of the DACA program. ITT Staff Picks: In this piece for The Boston Globe, columnist Renée Graham analyzes whether the public will actually pay attention to the Jan. 6 hearings, despite their clear importance for American democracy. “Our security is a constitutional value, one that outweighs absolutist gun-rights claims by NRA lobbyists, or Oath Keepers, and other insurrectionist groups who hold their access to weapons dear for use in an imagined anti-tyranny quest,” writes law professor Thomas P. Crocker in this piece for The Atlantic. On the 10-year anniversary of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals or DACA, recipients are reflecting on the program's limitations and an uncertain future, writes journalist Jeff Brumley in this piece for Baptist News.
