WASHINGTON, DC, 23V 18 (AP): Las divisiones sobresi se les proporciona una formade naturalizarse a losinmigrantes traídosilegalmente al país cuandoeran niños salieron a relucir elmiércoles mientras losrepublicanos de la Cámara deRepresentantes buscansolucionar un tema que los hadividido durante años.

Los líderes republicanos,tanto moderados comoconservadores, negociaronnuevamente, y algunosdestacaron que las pláticasfueron productivas. Pero nohubo evidencia de un acuerdoinminente, al tiempo que sepresentaron indicios de quesiguen sin resolverse las añejasfricciones al interior delpartido en el tema de ayudar aque los inmigrantes que estánilegalmente en el país senaturalicen.

El representanterepublicano Carlos Curbelo,uno de los líderes moderadosque intenta obligar a que sevote al respecto, dijo a la prensaque entre todas sus prioridadesmigratorias, el estatuspermanente para los llamados“DREAMers” es “el másimportante” y “fundamental”.

WASHINGTON, DC, 24 V18 (AP): Donald Trump dijo eljueves que se opone a cualquierley migratoria que no incluya“un muro real” en la fronteracon México y “una seguridadfronteriza muy fuerte”.

Republicanos moderadosen la Cámara de Representantesestán impulsando un acuerdoque podría conducir a laciudadanía a jóvenesinmigrantes conocidos como“dreamers”, que llegaron haceaños a Estados Unidos sinpermiso legal.

Pero Trump dijo el juevesen el programa “Fox & Friends”que a menos que el proyecto deley “incluya un muro, y me

Sin embargo, Mark Meadows,líder de la bancadaultraderechista Libertad, señalóque para los conservadores nosería aceptable “ninguna rutaespecial para obtener lanaturalización”.

“¿Por qué le daríamosexenciones masivas a las perso-nas que llegaron ilegalmente?”preguntó Meadows a la prensa.

Curbelo y Meadows dijeronque es posible encontrar puntosen común entre sus posturas.Pero los líderes del partido nohan podido concretar unacuerdo sobre este tema desdehace años, y aún se desconocecómo resolverían este impasseantes del próximo mes, cuandolos líderes de la cámara bajaprometieron una serie devotaciones en materiamigratoria.

Los líderes convocaron auna reunión privada a esterespecto entre losrepresentantes republicanospara el 7 de junio, días despuésde que los legisladores vuelvande un receso de una semana. Elrepublicano John Katko dijoque él y otros de los moderadosesperarían a ver si en esa sesiónse da un acuerdo dentro delpartido, antes de presionar poruna votación al respecto.

Sobre el tema de lasdemandas en tribunales contrasus restricciones migratorias, elpresidente declaró que otrospaíses tienen “personal deseguridad que se para y dicepuedes entrar” en lugar de quelos jueces decidan sobre loscasos de migración.

“¿Quién oyó hablar de unsistema donde llevas a las per-sonas a juicio?... Vamos acambiar el sistema”, agregó.

Estados Unidos, dijo Trump,tiene “de lejos las peores leyesde inmigración del mundo”.Añadió que quiere un paquetede leyes global que incluyatodas sus prioridades. “Creo quees hora de tener el paqueteentero”, afirmó.

Pese a las gestiones derepublicanos moderados paralograr un consenso, el aladerechista del partido rechazalo que tilda de “amnistía” parapersonas que se encuentran enel país ilegalmente.

Los republicanos moder-ados lograron la 21ra firma en-tre sus filas el miércoles, es decir,con cuatro más podrán llevar elasunto a debate a fines de junio.Los dirigentes del partido tienenprogramada una reunión sobreel tema el 7 de junio.

El gobierno está lidiandocon un pronunciado aumentoen los casos judiciales deinmigración debido a que elaumento de las deportacionesbajo la administración Trumpha hecho que el número decasos sobrepase los 650.000.El secretario de Justicia JeffSessions, que tiene bajo sujurisdicción los tribunales deinmigración, ha estadotratando de imponer cambiosdrásticos en el sistema.

El Departamento de Justiciaanunció recientemente queasignará más fiscales y jueces afin de reducir la carga. Elgobierno además ha impuestoa los jueces cuotas de casospara ser aprobados, suscitandotemores de que muchos casosserán decididos sin la debidaconsideración.

“Si llegan a un buenacuerdo, grandioso. De locontrario procederemos”,afirmó.

Las propuestas querespaldan los moderados leotorgarían a cientos de milesde dreamers los mecanismospara obtener la residenciapermanente, un estatus quepuede llevar a la naturalización.

Los dreamers fuerontraídos ilegalmente a EstadosUnidos durante su infancia ycontaban con una proteccióntemporal por un programa delgobierno de Barack Obamaque el presidente DonaldTrump canceló, aunque lascortes lo han mantenido vivopor ahora.

Los conservadores quierenuna legislación que permitaque esos inmigrantespermanezcan en el país conincrementos renovables, perotemporales. Se han opuesto acrear un nuevo mecanismoque les permita aspirar a lanaturalización, y en su lugarlos limitarían a lasposibilidades existentes,como el matrimonio con unciudadano.

La Prensa—Ohio1 de junio, 2018 Page 5

The University of Toledoshowcased what college lifelooks like for nearly 600Latino middle school andhigh school students over atwo-day period, May 15 and16, 2018. The annual LatinoYouth Summit is aimed ateducating and motivatingprospective college stu-dents by exposing them topossible careers and areas ofstudy beyond high school.

“This is our 16th annualLatino Youth Summit,” saidAleiah Jones, program co-ordinator in the Office ofMulticultural Student Suc-cess at UT and committeechair of the event. “It has alegacy in our community asbeing the largest gatheringof Latino youth in North-west Ohio.”

Another goal of the sum-mit is to equip students andfamilies with informationand resources for collegeplanning, in addition to in-formation about pre-highschool and pre-collegecourse work. For example,students participated inhands-on activities in dif-ferent fields such as phar-macy, nursing, and engi-neering. Any college cred-its gained through Ohio’sCollege Credit Plus pro-gram or through a career-tech education (CTE) pro-gram are free, an equivalentway of gaining a scholar-ship for higher education.

The annual summit aims

Christina Rodríguez is ex-periencing one of those raremoments when a professionalgets to see a quest throughfrom start to finish. She soughta career in social justice whenshe went to law school. Nowshe’s seeking to finish in fed-eral court a complaint case sheencountered as an intern.

Ms. Rodríguez, 30, is a staffattorney for the Fair HousingCenter, based in Toledo; she isinvolved as a staff attorney ina lawsuit filed last week againstMoline Builders, Inc. and JRJDevelopment over what theagency calls blatant design andconstruction violations that af-fect accessible housing for se-niors and the disabled. Thefederal lawsuit centers on liv-ing conditions at BrooklynnPark Villas on Dorr St. in WestToledo.

“Honestly, we were not thatsurprised. For some reason,builders just seem to not taketheir responsibility of lookingat the laws that apply to them,”she said. “I think it’s their re-sponsibility to know this.

“We were much more sur-prised that we reached out toJames E. Moline and makehim aware of these issues andhe completely rebuffed us. Heeven seemed offended that wewere even trying to inform himof the law. It’s more surprisingthat he ignored us and thencontinued to build the rest ofBrooklynn Park West andadded even more violations.He put steps in front of a lot ofthose residences.”

Ms. Rodríguez, who sharesthe same name as the execu-tive director of Mom’s Housebut is no relation, calls it asmuch a consumer protectionlawsuit as it is about fair hous-ing laws.

“They have disabilities.They purchased their propertybased on the representationthat they were 100 percent ac-cessible and now they are stuckwith a faulty product—theirhome, where they planned tospend the rest of their lives,”she said. “It’s just not whatthey were promised.”

The Ability Center in To-ledo is partnering with the FairHousing Center on the law-suit, which Ms. Rodríguezstated could be considered a“bait-and-switch” violation offair housing laws. The lawsuitalleges the builder made falserepresentations of theproperty’s accessibility to resi-dents.

“I don’t understand how hecan be so callous and not careabout these people whosehomes he has built,” she said.

Ms. Rodríguez will serveas co-counsel in the case along-side attorneys for The Ability

Center and ap r i v a t ecivil-rightslaw firmbased inWashing-ton, D.C. buthas an Ohiooffice.

“I’ve al-ways beens o c i a l l yconscious.When I wentto lawschool, Iknew that Ididn’t wantto have acorporate, big-law job,” she said.“I went to law school so that Icould be in a position to helppeople who cannot help them-selves. When I found the intern-ship at the Fair Housing Center,it was really perfect. It’s one ofthe last civil rights agencies andone of the last areas of civilrights law where there’s still alot of work to be done.”

Ms. Rodríguez noted thatthe Fair Housing Act passed 50years ago and “we still haverampant segregation in most ofour cities in the country andthat’s not okay.” She stated thenation needs to “take steps torepair that.”

“I’m very excited about this.The law is clear. It’s clear that heviolated it and he needs to dosomething. He needs to pay upso these people can have homesthat are accessible,” she said.

“I don’t really feel any pres-sure. My job is such that I get tohelp people every day. I don’tsee it as a challenge. I find it veryrewarding.”

Much of the time, such fairhousing lawsuits are filed withmuch fanfare, but settled qui-etly out of court. But this onefeels a bit different, accordingto Ms. Rodríguez.

“We will see how he re-sponds. We will see if he wantsto work out some sort of settle-ment or if he would like to pro-ceed to trial,” she said. “Wetried to be nice a couple of yearsago and he didn’t want to playfair, so we had to take the directroute.”

There is also the possibilitythe lawsuit could achieve class-action status. Ms. Rodrígueznoted the lone plaintiff in thecase is not alone in her claims atBrooklynn Park Villas.

“We have been contacted(since the press conference) fromother residents who have beensimilarly affected,” she said, “soit is possible that there could beadditional parties added to thiscase.”

Ms. Rodríguez was research-ing multi-family developmentsas an agency intern and noticedthe measurements at

Brooklynn Park didn’t lookright. Fair Housing Centerstaff went out and did sometesting, found a few thingswrong and contacted thebuilder to make it right.

“I’ve really been work-ing on this case since dayone, since I was just an in-tern,” she said. “This is reallyexciting for me to hopefullyget some justice and somerecourse for these people. I’mjust so happy and really lovemy job. I wouldn’t trade myplace for anything in theworld.”

Ms. Rodríguez passed thebar exam in 2015 and waspromoted to a full-time staffattorney at the Fair HousingCenter right after that. Shehad been serving as a part-time fair housing specialistfollowing her internship.

Ms. Rodríguez was bornand raised in East Toledoand graduated from WaiteHigh School. She attendedthe University of Toledowhere she obtained twobachelor’s degrees—one inpolitical science and theother in anthropology. Shethen returned to the UT cam-pus for law school followinga year’s hiatus to work inretail. The staff attorney stilllives in East Toledo.

Ms. Rodríguez is third-generation Mexican-Ameri-can. Her grandparents movedto a small town in Texas. Herfather, one of eight siblings,moved to Toledo in the1970s seeking work duringthe recession. He landed acareer in the auto industry.

Editor’s Note: The cap-tion of the federal lawsuitfiled May 15, 2018 is: Abil-ity Center of Greater Toledo,et al v. Moline Builders, Inc.,et al, case no. 3:18-CV-01120, US District Court ofOhio, Northern District. Anattempt was made for com-ment by Moline Builders,Inc. about the lawsuit butnone received by press time.

to encourage students to strivefor success and a promisingfuture through their academ-ics now and going forward,while also instilling a pride intheir heritage. The over-arch-ing, long-term effect is hopedto address the Latino achieve-ment gap across the region, byhelping students and familiesbecome motivated to finishhigh school, graduate, and seeka better life through a collegeeducation.

“We just want them toknow that no matter whatthey’ve been through, no mat-ter what they’ve been told intheir lives, that they can besuccessful, that they canachieve their goals,” said Ms.Jones. “That was the messagefrom our keynote speaker—that success is a lifestyle. That’swhat we want them to takeaway.”

The keynote speaker forthe event was Josué “JQ”Quiñones, an educator and lifecoach of Puerto Rican descentwho hails from the Bronx, NewYork. Mr. Quiñones addressedthe students in UT’s Thomp-son Student Union Auditoriumon both days of the summit.

Mr. Quiñones shared hisstory about attending collegeto create a better life for him-self. He is dedicated to inspir-ing and providing motivationto audiences along with en-couraging them to live a “qual-ity lifestyle built for success.”He has spoken to more than20,000 students and profes-

sionals. Throughout his pre-sentation, Quiñones remindstudents “success is alifestyle.”

Mr. Quiñones talkedabout taking a bad path atfirst while growing up in arough and rugged neighbor-hood. But at a personal cross-roads, he credited his familyand several mentors for put-ting him on a better life path.Quiñones started his profes-sional career as a counselorand social worker, but nowspeaks to students about“taking control of their iden-tity and stories” so they canfind their purpose on life’spath.

“As he frequently shares,his life experience has ledhim to truly believe whatyou actively and consis-tently engage in, or surroundyourself with, is a determin-ing factor of success,” saidMs. Jones, noting many ofthe attendees were from To-ledo Public Schools, butother school districts acrossthe region were representedat the Latino Youth Summit,including Whitmer andArchbold school districts.

High school students whoregistered and attended theevent were eligible to applyfor the President’s SummitAward, worth $2,000 annu-ally. Ten of these scholar-ships were awarded and willinclude room and board foreach recipient’s first year.

A Latina teen mom turnedto a Latina mentor whenthings got tough in her life—and the end result is a confi-dent young woman who gavebirth, overcame an abusiverelationship, and will gradu-ate Bowsher High School asan honor student andcheerleading captain.

“It feels good. I’m so ex-cited,” said 17-year oldCheyanne García about herupcoming graduation. “Over-whelming, actually, becauseI’m trying to pull through thislast month. Senioritis is kick-ing in, but it’s good. I didn’tknow if I could make it thisyear, but I did.”

Cheyanne has been acheerleader since secondgrade but began competitivecheer-leading when she en-tered high school. The honorroll student led a normal child-hood. But things changeddrastically when she got tohigh school and found a boy-friend who turned out to beabusive.

“It ended kind of roughthis year, my senior year—but helped me to get to whereI am today,” she openly ad-mitted. “I’ve overcome a lotof the obstacles I’ve had toface. I didn’t expect to getpregnant my sophomore year.I had her over winter breakand took six weeks off formaternity leave. But I got frus-trated trying to figure outwhat I was going to do forchildcare—trying to balancefinishing school and take careof her as a mom.”

Once Allaya entered theworld, life changed dramati-cally. A supportive momhelped care for Cheyanne’sdaughter when possible, butthe Bowsher student neededmore support. Enter Mom’sHouse and its executive di-rector Christina Rodríguez[left in photo].

“We are extremely proudof Cheyanne. She’s had a verychallenging senior year,” said

Ms. Rodríguez. “We sawCheyanne come into the pro-gram as a very timid, angryyoung lady that kind ofthought she knew everything.Through some challenges andcircumstances, she had,through our mentoring, shewas able to overcome a lot ofthat stuff.”

Cheyanne had to quitcheerleading her junior yearto care for her baby daughterbut returned as the captain ofboth the football and basket-ball cheerleading squads dur-ing her senior year. Where herbaby daughter once was seenas a burden, Allaya is now asource of pride. In fact, herdaughter sat in the stands rightalongside her mom when sheled the Bowsher HScheerleading squad.

“She’s my motivation now,actually. If I didn’t have her, Iseriously don’t think I wouldbe graduating, going to col-lege, doing everything it isthat I want to do in life,”Cheyanne said.

“She is my motivation, likemy angel sent from heavenright now. I’m so thankful forher.”

“When she came in here,she thought it was normal tobe called certain words or betreated a certain way,” recalledMs. Rodríguez. “It took sometime to get her to understandher value. It was definitely achallenge. We had to workwith her one-on-one, havemeetings with her and hermother, helped that situationso there would be a healthyrelationship. They both havegrown through this process.We’ve seen some big change.In this situation, it’s a bigdeal.”

The Mom’s House execu-tive director readily admitsthe staff “had to light a fire”under Cheyanne during a re-bellious period. The realiza-tion she could lose theagency’s services served asher “defining moment” to

make a positive change andturn her life toward somethingbetter.

• Cheyanne plans on en-tering the nursing programat Lourdes University

But Cheyanne went througha number of stages during anabusive relationship—from alack of self-worth to anger andrebellion. But her young daugh-ter has centered and groundedher enough to want a better lifefor both of them. She plans toenter the nursing program atLourdes University in the falland pursue a bachelor’s degree.

“My mom tells me all thetime it’s a blessing in disguise.It’s no longer a disguise to me,”she said. “She’s everything tome. She keeps me going, moti-vated. I just adore her and loveher.”

“We’re very proud of thefact that she was able to notonly maintain amazing grades,be a mom, be the captain of hercheerleading team, but that heroverall view of the world hasseems to have shifted,” said Ms.Rodríguez. “That’s what is go-ing to help her move forward inthe future.”

Cheyanne credits her mom,a supportive Bowsher teacher,and the staff at Mom’s House forsticking with her through sometough times and graduallychanging her attitude and situ-ation.

“They helped me a lot, un-derstand a lot— how to handlebeing a mom while still in highschool, how to be a mom out-side of high school with herbeing at home,” she said. “Theytaught me how to manage mytime. It was a big help cominghere [to Mom’s House]. As soonas I got here, it was arms openedwide. I was welcomed, Allayawas welcomed.”

Without going into specif-ics, Cheyanne described the re-lationship with her former boy-friend as “abusive—physically,emotionally, and mentally.”

“I lost who I was into him,

because he mademe into somebodyI didn’t want to be.When I was withhim it was by hisrules, what hewanted, whateverhe said I went by,”she said. “I used tobe a fun, outgoing,used to laugh andsmile. Whenever Igot around himover the years, itchanged.

I never wantedto be with friends.I no longer wantedto do anything.Now that he’s nothere, I feel so much better. Thestress is off my shoulders. I’mnow doing things I couldn’teven do when I was with him.I have my life back and myfreedom back.”

Cheyanne admits she losther self-worth. Her former boy-friend at one point even threat-ened to kill her. She still ques-tions whether she’s “goodenough for anyone else” be-cause of what she went throughwith him. Regaining what shelost is still a work in progress.

“I’m still learning from it atthis point. I’m still trying togrow from it,” she said. “I’mlearning that I have to learn tolove myself before I can loveanybody else. You have tofigure out what your worth isand what you want beforethat.”

Cheyanne admits she’s be-come a people-watcher of sorts,trying to learn what a normalrelationship should look likeand what it entails. She asks alot of questions of others, in-quisitive about the give-and-take of a healthy partnershipand choosing what she wantsher future to be.

“I observe it all and let it allsink in,” she said. “That’s whatI want—talk it out with some-body instead of yelling all thetime. Instead of raising ourvoices, we sit down and talk it

Cheyanne García: Latina mom overcomes abuse with help from Mom’s HouseBy Kevin Milliken, La Prensa Correspondent

DETROIT, May 17, 2018(AP): A group of immigrantadvocates walked from De-troit to Lansing to bring at-tention to an Albanian manseeking sanctuary in a De-troit church.

The 90-mile (145-kilo-meter) journey started Mon-day at Central United Meth-odist Church in Detroit,where 48-year-old DedRranxburgaj has taken ref-uge since January.Rranxburgaj, who has nocriminal record, is facing anorder for removal after hislegal status expired.

Rranxburgaj came to theU.S. with his wife 17 yearsago. He said he was grantedtemporary humanitarianstatus after his wife was di-agnosed with multiple scle-rosis more than a decade ago.His wife depends on hiscare.

Congregation members,immigrant families, andothers are marching in hopesof securing a stay forRranxburgaj from U.S. Im-migration and Customs En-forcement (ICE).

“This pilgrimage isabout educating peopleabout the broken immigra-tion system and specifically

shining the light on theRranxburgaj family andtheir plight,” said the Rev.Jill Hardt Zundel, CentralUnited’s pastor.

Zundel said that everytime she feels tired alongthe route, she remembersthat Rranxburgaj can’t walkoutside of her church out offear that immigrationagents will arrest him.

ICE spokesman KhaalidWalls has said thatRranxburgaj currently isconsidered a fugitive afternot reporting to ICE as in-structed in October.

Donald Trump’s admin-istration has cracked downon undocumented immi-gration since he took of-fice. The number of arrestsof immigrants withoutcriminal records that are liv-ing in the U.S. without docu-mentation has spiked inMichigan and Ohio, accord-ing to the Detroit Free Press.

Protesters are holdinganother walk at the sametime from Kalamazoo toLansing for a Pakistani im-migrant facing a deporta-tion order, SaheedaPerveen Nadeem. She’s alsoin sanctuary at a Kalamazoochurch.

In early 2017, the Trumpadministration issued amemo ending the DeferredAction for Childhood Ar-rivals (DACA) program be-cause of what they called“legal and constitutionaldefects.”

The DACA program wascreated by the Obama ad-ministration in 2012 andallows some individualswho were brought to theUnited States as childrenwithout documentation toapply for renewable two-year periods of deferred ac-tion from deportationalong with work authori-zation to stay in the U.S.Since the memo was madepublic, several states, uni-versities, and individualDACA recipients have filedlawsuits in federal courtsto block the repeal.

In this article, we reviewwhat the memo and law-suits mean for current andprospective DACA recipi-ents.

In January 2018, a fed-eral judge in California is-sued a nationwide injunc-tion, ordering the govern-ment to continue process-ing DACA renewal applica-tions. This case was broughtby the University of Cali-fornia against the federal

The National Battle Over DACA Continues…By Manuela Policicchio of Palmer Rey Immigration Attorneys

government in which the uni-versity alleged that the gov-ernment violated the DueProcess Clause of the U.S.Constitution by deprivingDACA recipients of work au-thorization and deferred ac-tion status “without due pro-cess of law.”

Additionally, a federaljudge in New York issued asimilar injunction in two re-lated cases in February 2018to permit DACA renewal ap-plications. In New York, theplaintiffs claimed that thegovernment’s repeal ofDACA was meant to discrimi-nate against Latinos andMexicans and violated theU.S. Constitution’s EqualProtection Clause whichguarantees every person inthe U.S. “the equal protec-tion of the laws.” The judgeshowed support for that argu-ment by citing PresidentTrump’s public use of “ra-cial slurs” as an indication ofpossible racial bias in the re-peal.

Then, in April this year, afederal judge in Washington,DC found that the govern-ment did violate the EqualProtection and Due Processguarantees in the U.S. Con-stitution and issued a deci-sion that would completelyblock the repeal of DACA.

out. We can get through ittogether instead of slammingdoors in each other’s faces andwalking away.”

Long-term, Cheyannehopes to earn a degree in fo-rensic science. Her “dreamjob” is to be a coroner, or atleast work in the forensics field,possibly as a forensics nurse.But that never would havebeen possible without the guid-ance of Ms. Rodríguez.

“She is my shoulder to cryon. There are days when I comein here and I’m stressed. I wantto cry. I want to break down. Ineed something to cheer meup, to make me laugh,” sheadmitted. “I’ll come in here,into Christina’s office andthey’ll make me laugh, makeme smile, make my day. Or I’lljust come in here and we’llhave random conversationsabout whatever it is. Christinais amazing. I don’t know howthis program would functionif she wasn’t here.”

Just as important forCheyanne is to have a mentorwho looks like her, a picture ofa successful Latina to follow.

“I absolutely love it. A lotof people tend to look downon the Latin family, tend tothink we can’t do anything,we can’t overcome anything,”she said. “But to have some-one like Christina at such a

high position and a Latina atthat, it’s amazing. That is greatto me—someone like me tobe in a higher position. I feelmore comfortable. I belonghere. I have somebody I canbond with in a relationshiplike we have.”

Mom’s House certainlydidn’t give Cheyanne a hand-out. There was a lot of ac-countability expected by thestaff. The young women inthe program have chores atthe non-residential shelterthat also teach them neces-sary life and parenting skillsfor home, school, and work.

“The cleaning hoursteaches you responsibilityhere, for when we’re not here,”she said. “It teaches me re-sponsibility at home that Ineed to clean up there, too.They teach me how to be abetter mom here. I can takethat home with different waysto parent my daughter, waysto teach her how to be nice orgood.”

But now Cheyanne feelsprepared for her next steps, asshe builds a better life forboth her and her daughter,now approaching her secondbirthday. There’s a lot to cel-ebrate these days, startingwith her Bowsher HighSchool graduation later thismonth.

However, the judge also an-nounced that the order to keepDACA in place will not gointo effect for 90 days, “toafford [the government] anopportunity to better explainits view that DACA is unlaw-ful.” The 90-day period willend on July 23, 2018.

On the other hand, thereare two cases that are workingin favor of the Trumpadministration’s attempt toend DACA. Specifically, acase in Maryland trying tostop the repeal was dismissedby a federal judge in March2018. However, the judge inMaryland did grant a nation-wide injunction in favor ofDACA recipients that orderedthe government cannot useinformation obtained fromimmigrants in their applica-tions for DACA status forimmigration enforcementpurposes so that informationis still protected.

Most recently, in earlyMay, Texas and six other statesfiled suit against the federalgovernment in order to endDACA faster. The case is as-signed to U.S. District JudgeAndrew Hanen in Texas. In2015, Judge Hanen blockedthe implementation of theDeferred Action for Parentsof Americans and Lawful Per-manent Residents (DAPA)

program, which was in-tended to be similar toDACA by providing peoplewith deferred action andwork authorization, but itwas much broader thanDACA and would have ap-plied to many more people.Texas’ current lawsuit isbased on the same claims asthe 2015 DAPA case, alleg-ing that the creation of theprogram was unconstitu-tional. This case is not sched-uled to start until after July31st of this year and thereare no updates at this time.

Overall, these cases showthat the future of DACA isstill uncertain. At this time,only DACA renewal appli-cations are being processedand the government cannotuse information provided byDACA applicants for immi-gration enforcement pur-poses. However, the orderby the judge in DC might gointo effect after July 23 thatwould require the federalgovernment to process newDACA applications.

Ultimately, with the con-flicting decisions in all ofthese cases, the legality ofthe DACA program and theTrump administration’s de-cision to repeal it will likelybe decided by the U.S. Su-preme Court.

Neighborhood Connec-tions and ioby are partneringto amplify resident ideasemerging from the CommonGround conversations, start-ing with a series of actionclinics in Cuyahoga, Lake,and Geauga counties to bescheduled after the comple-tion of this year’s events.Additionally, one-on-oneand group project guidancewill be available free of chargethrough Neighborhood Con-nections, while crowd-fund-ing trainings will be con-ducted through ioby.

May 17, 2018: Acting onan independent watchdog’srecommendation, the Cleve-land Board of Education willconsider revising its masterplan for building and reno-vating schools.

It has been four years sincethe plan was last amendedand six years since the Dis-trict began assembling thedata used to modify the docu-ment.

The Bond AccountabilityCommission, which was cre-ated for the specific purposeof monitoring the ongoingmodernization program, hascalled for an “extensive re-examination” of the planbased on current neighbor-hood population and enroll-ment patterns, changes inacademic programming andrising construction costs.

Separately, the state dras-tically limited reimburse-ment for Cleveland’s schoolconstruction program. Thepolicy changes could forcethe District to absorb mil-lions of dollars in additionalexpenses.

Before considering revi-

sions, the District will seekdirection from the public.Community meetings will be-gin June 5. The meeting sched-ule and other information canbe foundat clevelandmetroschools.org/buildingplan.

“We support the Bond Ac-countability Commission’srecommendation,” DistrictCEO Eric Gordon said. “It’slogical to re-evaluate the planunder current conditions, andkeeping with past practice, wewant to ask for guidance fromour families and other stake-holders.”

The District has built andsubstantially renovated morethan 40 buildings since theprogram began in 2002. Workis well under way on sevenPreK-8 buildings and con-struction of two high schoolsis set to begin soon.

In 2014, voters overwhelm-ingly approved a $200 mil-lion bond issue to help fundthe remainder of the program.Plans, based on communityinput, called for building 20 to22 schools and remodeling 20to 23 schools.

The state contributesslightly more than $2 forevery $1 in local funds spentfor construction and sub-stantial renovation.

But in an abrupt breakfrom 16 years of practice inCleveland, the Ohio Facili-ties Construction Commis-sion has decided to virtuallyeliminate allowances madefor the regional market’shigher building costs. TheOFCC now wants to hold alldistricts in the state — urban,suburban or rural — to amaximum contribution of$255 per square foot.

The last time the OFCCspent $255 per square footfor construction in Cleve-land was in 2008. The com-mission is currently payingabout $285 a square foot.

Chief Operating OfficerPatrick Zohn said that underthe change, CMSD wouldhave to pay an extra $20 mil-lion for the eight schools tobe built in the next segmentof the program.

THE MAY 8, 2018 PRIMARY ELECTIONENDS IN TIES; THE WINNERS COULDBE DETERMINED BY FLIPPING A COIN

CLEVELAND, May 29, 2018: Official Election results released today by the CuyahogaCounty Board of Elections show that four contests ended in tie votes. This includes thecandidates in the race for Republican State Central Committee, Senate District 23 (woman).Candidates Doris Durica and Candice Miller both received 5,128 votes.

This situation rarely occurs and normally only happens in small races with lownumbers of votes. But in this case over 10,000 ballots were cast. “I have been in theelection business for over ten years and I have never seen anything of this magnitude,”said Pat McDonald, Director of the Board of Elections. “With the thousands of ballotscast in this race the chances of a tie are extremely low. This also proves once again thatevery vote counts and that a single ballot can make the difference between who winsand who loses,” said McDonald.

The next step in the process for all of the tied races will be to flip a coin to determinethe winner at today’s Board meeting. The contest will then be subject to an automaticre-count. If a tie remains following the re-count the outcome of the coin toss will stand.

The official results will also lead to automatic re-counts for two issues because thedifferences in the vote totals are less than one half of one percent:

Issue 2: Beachwood CSD - Bond Issue and Tax Levy:For the Bond Issue and Levy 2,030 49.94%Against the Bond Issue and Levy 2,035 50.06%

There are also coin flips scheduled for the following seats:
