LatinaLista — President Donald Trump signed today, under duress, an executive order to stop separating immigrant families. However, this order does not address reunifying families.
The ongoing trauma that detained children are being subjected to needs to end and, as a community, the nation must continue the pressure on Congress, the DOJ and the Oval Office to ensure these children have a voice — a loud voice — until they are in the arms of their parents.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
June 20, 2018EXECUTIVE ORDER
– – – – – – –
AFFORDING CONGRESS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS FAMILY SEPARATION
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), 8 U.S.C. 1101 et seq., it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Policy. It is the policy of this Administration to rigorously enforce our immigration laws. Under our laws, the only legal way for an alien to enter this country is at a designated port of entry at an appropriate time. When an alien enters or attempts to enter the country anywhere else, that alien has committed at least the crime of improper entry and is subject to a fine or imprisonment under section 1325(a) of title 8, United States Code. This Administration will initiate proceedings to enforce this and other criminal provisions of the INA until and unless Congress directs otherwise. It is also the policy of this Administration to maintain family unity, including by detaining alien families together where appropriate and consistent with law and available resources. It is unfortunate that Congress’s failure to act and court orders have put the Administration in the position of separating alien families to effectively enforce the law.
Sec. 2. Definitions. For purposes of this order, the following definitions apply:
(a) “Alien family” means
(i) any person not a citizen or national of the United States who has not been admitted into, or is not authorized to enter or remain in, the United States, who entered this country with an alien child or alien children at or between designated ports of entry and who was detained; and
(ii) that person’s alien child or alien children.
(b) “Alien child” means any person not a citizen or national of the United States who
(i) has not been admitted into, or is not authorized to enter or remain in, the United States;
(ii) is under the age of 18; and
(iii) has a legal parent-child relationship to an alien who entered the United States with the alien child at or between designated ports of entry and who was detained.
Sec. 3. Temporary Detention Policy for Families Entering this Country Illegally. (a) The Secretary of Homeland Security (Secretary), shall, to the extent permitted by law and subject to the availability of appropriations, maintain custody of alien families during the pendency of any criminal improper entry or immigration proceedings involving their members.
(b) The Secretary shall not, however, detain an alien family together when there is a concern that detention of an alien child with the child’s alien parent would pose a risk to the child’s welfare.
(c) The Secretary of Defense shall take all legally available measures to provide to the Secretary, upon request, any existing facilities available for the housing and care of alien families, and shall construct such facilities if necessary and consistent with law. The Secretary, to the extent permitted by law, shall be responsible for reimbursement for the use of these facilities.
(d) Heads of executive departments and agencies shall, to the extent consistent with law, make available to the Secretary, for the housing and care of alien families pending court proceedings for improper entry, any facilities that are appropriate for such purposes. The Secretary, to the extent permitted by law, shall be responsible for reimbursement for the use of these facilities.
(e) The Attorney General shall promptly file a request with the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California to modify the Settlement Agreement in Flores v. Sessions, CV 85-4544 (“Flores settlement”), in a manner that would permit the Secretary, under present resource constraints, to detain alien families together throughout the pendency of criminal proceedings for improper entry or any removal or other immigration proceedings.
Sec. 4. Prioritization of Immigration Proceedings Involving Alien Families. The Attorney General shall, to the extent practicable, prioritize the adjudication of cases involving detained families.
Sec. 5. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or
(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This order shall be implemented in a manner consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.
(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
DONALD J. TRUMP
THE WHITE HOUSE,
June 20, 2018.###
We may never know the life stories of the many thousands who died trying to reach Europe. But this is a tiny snapshot of some of the names on the List
The Guardian is today publishing a list of 34,361 people who have lost their lives trying to get into Europe over the past 25 years. Many are just anonymous entries, but our reporters have investigated a few cases to put faces and stories to the victims.
What is the List?
Trump now has something else in common with Kim Jong Un, they are both repugnant human rights abusers
U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted that the German crime rate had risen by 10 percent because of refugees in the country. He’s wrong. We took a closer look at just how wrong.

Sacks of Sh$t House GOP Quietly Introduces Legislation To Gut Medicare, Repeal ACA:
While we were all looking at the southern border, House Republicans quietly introduced a bill to balance the budget. In order to do so, they plan to gut Medicare and repeal the Affordable Care Act for the zillionth time.
The House Republican budget, entitled “A Brighter American Future,” would remake Medicare by giving seniors the option of enrolling in private plans that compete with traditional Medicare, a system of competition designed to keep costs down but dismissed by critics as an effort to privatize the program. Along with other changes, the budget proposes to squeeze $537 billion out of Medicare over the next decade.
The budget would transform Medicaid, the federal-state health-care program for the poor, by limiting per capita payments or allowing states to turn it into a block-grant program — the same approach House Republicans took in their legislation that passed last year to repeal the Affordable Care Act (the repeal effort died in the Senate, but the GOP budget assumes the repeal takes place). It also proposes adding work requirements for certain adults enrolled in Medicaid. Changes to Medicaid and other health programs would account for $1.5 trillion in savings.
At some point, the Arabs need to admit that there is something existentially wrong with their mindsets. It is not coincidental this state of consecutive defeat.
With nations that have no severe achievement or hope to grab, football remains an essential reflection on reality, and at the same time, the Arabs comparison is justifiable _ Sarcastically_
Between Russia’s world cup and Gaza’s war.
Hoping for a triumph Arabsleagues, mainly Egypt and specifically Salah. And waging conquests of burning kites and blown condoms (the substitute for balloons in Gaza ) while F16 and rockets are adding more destruction to the already destroyed Strip.
Salah, the Egyptian soccer player who became more famous than Kim Kardashian and Haifa Wahbe for his memorable goal in the finals. A talented young man, with serious expectations to compete in the best soccer teams and whose name is already competing with Ronaldo and Messi. But football is the game of the unexpected… while playing with Liverpool on Europe’s Cup, Ramos from Real Madrid gave him a harsh stroke that split his shoulder. The man was thumped, and all expectations for a quick recovery would only be a soft dream. But yet, the audience, and the team, and the nation insisted that he recovered. He even insisted and joined his nation’s team to Russia.
As in Arab mindset, man becomes an idol quickly, and a superman combination with Zoro and the Matrix are applied to the new god… Mo Salah.
One watches the game and keeps praying (that is what we Arabs do ) that the man does not get another blow that will paralyze him forever. Salah, however, knows and is worried, apparently, and he gives a very modest contribution.
And imagine.. this is a game .. a nation that relies on one injured man in a game that is more combustible than the game of thrones.
Something about Arab football that should be considered seriously.. we can only play 45 minutes well. Something magical happens and a real curse takes place, they may believe that the second half is a friendly half…
Anyway.. it must be coincidental, that this is what we see in all Arab matches… and even though billions of prayers were performed to support the Arab teams, somehow God did not listen…
A very normal consequence in performances that are based on little training fights among clubs and officials, poor environments, and focusing on idolizing one on account of all…
In Gaza…. While oppression and seizure and killing are apparent and need no clarification. Israel went together with the USA as far as withdrawing from the HRC so that they get out of responsibility. As if being in that council will hold them accountable.
Palestinians who are brutally killed, abused, oppressed, seized by the Israeli occupation, suddenly turned into internal fights over salaries, and occupation which is harming the grounds and the skies of Gaza is freely violating all aspects of life to the strip and is stretching its violations around the west bank, with demolitions and arrests ,and killings when possible.
Israel is responding to the kites with rockets. We Palestinians are proud of burning a few trees that in our holy war turned into forests.
Israel extends its victimizing situation in defending itself, and we Palestinians are declaring victories in numbers of trees that are burnt, while the destruction of Gaza and its people is taking place…
And we are watching….
Then we wonder about our state of defeat…
And I will be accused of being too harsh ….
