Retira California de la Frontera la Mayoría de sus Militares de la Guardia Nacional

Por Manuel Ocaño

Gavin Newsom

El gobernador de California Gavin Newsom anunció el retiro de la mayoría de los soldados de la Guardia Nacional de California que habían sido desplegados en los límites con Baja California, porque, dijo, fueron enviados a la frontera para responder a “una crisis manufacturada por la Casa Blanca”.

“Este es el teatro del absurdo y California ya ha tenido suficiente”, declaró categórico el gobernador en conferencia de prensa en vivo.

Los soldados serán retirados al final de marzo, cuando concluya un acuerdo con el gobierno federal, pro el que el exgobernador Jerry Brown accedió con condiciones al envío de efectivos a la frontera.

Newsom dijo que California mantendrá en la zona fronteriza un centenar de soldados estatales, principalmente en las garitas, para apoyar la búsqueda de contrabando y drogas hacia California y de armas de fuego hacia a México.

Los 260 soldados que serán retirados de la frontera se reincorporan a preparativos ante la siguiente temporada de incendios –que inicia en marzo– y en la “búsqueda de cultivos ilegales de mariguana” ahora que el consumo de mariguana es legal en California pero se tiene que apegar a la ley.

Newsom recordó que hace apenas unos días el presidente Donald Trump ordenó el despliegue de 3,750 soldados adicionales a la frontera con México.

Cuestionó que “¿si van a desplegar 3,750 soldados más, para qué quieren también a la Guardia Nacional?”.

El mayor general David Baldwin, comandante de la Guardia Nacional de California, reiteró que los cien soldados que permanezcan en la frontera tienen prohibido participar en acciones contra migrantes.

“Ellos pueden monitorear y si descubren que alguien cruza la frontera entre garitas, lo informan, porque eso es ilegal, incluso si lo hacen ciudadanos estadunidenses”, aclaró el comandante.

El gobernador Newsom, quien asumió el cargo el pasado primero de enero, dijo que nadie debe de sorprenderse por este tipo de decisiones de su parte, porque en campaña fue bastante claro en sus políticas.

La semana pasada, luego de que falló en conseguir fondos para construir el muro fronterizo con el mayor cierre de gobierno en la historia., el presidente Trump ordenó enviar más soldados a la frontera y declaró que en tanto no se construya el muro que prometió en campaña, los soldados formarían un muro alternativo.

La semana pasada también la gobernadora de Nuevo México, Michelle Luján, anunció que retirará de la frontera a todos los soldados de la Guardia Nacional de este estado.

En apenas la sexta semana de gobierno, esta es la tercera ocasión en que el gobernador contraviene políticas y decisiones del presidente Trump.

Al tomar posesión del cargo el gobernador anunció el primer plan de salud universal en el país y dijo que deberá de cubrir a todos los residentes, incluidos los indocumentados.

La semana pasada el gobernador Newsom vino a San Diego a anunciar un plan para invertir 25 millones de dólares en apoyo a organizaciones que ayudan a los migrantes que buscan asilo.

Top Leader at Interior Dept. Pushes a Policy Favoring His Former Client – The New York Times

As a lobbyist and lawyer, David Bernhardt fought for years on behalf of a group of California farmers to weaken Endangered Species Act protections for a finger-size fish, the delta smelt, to gain access to irrigation water. As a top official since 2017 at the Interior Department, Mr. Bernhardt has been finishing the job: He is working to strip away the rules the farmers had hired him to oppose.

The Trump administration is still tearing young children away from their parents when they cross the US-Mexico border unlawfully, despite formally ending the policy of family separations last summer, according to immigration advocates in Texas.

Speaking The Truth!

“There is a real, and frightening, rise in anti-Semitism in the United States right now, particularly coming from an emboldened white nationalist movement and its political mouthpieces. But it should go without saying that valid criticism of powerful political lobbies like AIPAC—whose leaders have boasted of their political pull—should be fair game. It’s clear, however, that many of Omar’s critics intentionally misread her tweet—which was flip, and assumed a kind of familiarity and casual tone that didn’t serve her point very well—by conflating criticism of AIPAC with anti-Semitism and turning a poorly framed tweet into a bad faith media frenzy. This is also not the first time that Omar has come under fire for her views on Israel and Palestine, despite consistently placing the political struggle against anti-Semitism alongside that of anti-Muslim bigotry and discrimination. (“Islamophobia and anti-Semitism are two sides of the same bigoted coin,” she wrote in November as she prepared for her freshman orientation in Washington.)”

In Saner Thought

Personally I want representatives to speak the truth….but that is impossible in some cases in DC…..and thwe biggest one is criticism of AIPAC as Rep. Omar has learned….

Omar singled out AIPAC, one of the most influential lobbying groups in Washington, as the source of those donations.

Omar’s comments touched upon a long-running, and particularly ugly, thread of the anti-Semitic movement — that Jewish money fuels backing for Israel in the United States and elsewhere. A freshman Democrat, Max Rose of New York, said, “Congresswoman Omar’s statements are deeply hurtful to Jews, including myself.”

And the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee is a non-profit that doesn’t donate directly to candidates. AIPAC, however, does relentlessly push a pro-Israeli message on Capitol Hill and inside the executive branch, and its members donate to pro-Israel lawmakers and candidates while seeking to defeat those it considers a threat to U.S.-Israeli relations.
