Win Eaton is one of the top immigration attorneys on the west coast, with offices in Salem, Oregon, and here in Fresno and Bakersfield, the breadbasket of California's San Joaquin Valley. He is also currently participating in our Immigration Justice Collaborative series, which disseminates legal information to our undocumented populations throughout Kern County.
1.
A
leaked DRAFT of an intelligence report finds that citizens from seven
countries that are included in President Donald Trump’s immigration ban do
not pose a likely terrorism threat. The report was “incomplete,” the
U.S. Department of Homeland Security said on Friday.
2.
Sen.
Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, launched a Judiciary Committee investigation Thursday
into Sally Yates, accusing the then-acting U.S. attorney general of sabotaging
President Donald Trump's immigration ban by ordering government lawyers to not
defend it.
3.
One
county in California’s Silicon Valley has asked a CA Federal District Court to
issue a nationwide injunction that would block President Donald Trump’s
executive order to withhold federal funds from sanctuary cities. The county
said it could deprive them of $1.7 billion in funding.
4.
Court
filings challenging the detention of noncitizens have steadily increased in
recent months. There have apparently been 24 percent more cases filed in
January 2017 compared to December 2016 and nearly 58 percent more when compared
to the previous year. The study was conducted by a data organization based at
Syracuse University.
5.
The
Trump administration on Friday asked the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal to
completely “pause” the government’s appeal over the U.S. president’s
immigration ban against travelers from seven Muslim-majority countries. The
government said there is “no need at this time” for additional briefing.
6.
Construction
of the planned wall along the U.S. border with Mexico will start soon, with the
project “way ahead" of schedule, President Donald Trump said Friday, the
day after House Homeland Security Committee Chair Mike McCaul suggested that the
scope of the project should be scaled back.
7.
Flanked
by some of the nation’s top manufacturing executives, President Donald Trump
signed an executive order Friday directing federal agencies to create task
forces to identify burdensome regulations ready for the chopping block,
promising the end of “an impossible situation” for U.S. companies and new
economic growth.
8. A fake attorney in Los
Angeles has been sentenced to more than five years in prison after
acknowledging that he posed as an immigration attorney and provided legal
consultations and services without any bar association accreditation. The
announcement came from the California Attorney General’s Office.
One thing is clear. None of this is making America great again.
Not even close.
