CIUDAD DE MÉXICO,16 V 19 (AP): Un periodistaque contaba con protecciónfederal fue asesinado eljueves a balazos en lalocalidad turística de Playadel Carmen, en el Caribemexicano, informaronautoridades estatales.

Francisco Romero, quientrabajaba para páginas denoticias en Facebook, es elsexto periodista en serasesinado desde que asumióel nuevo gobierno delpresidente Andrés ManuelLópez Obrador, según unrecuento del Comité para laProtección de Periodistas(CPJ, por sus siglas en inglés).

La procuraduría delestado mexicano deQuintana Roo informó queel cuerpo de Romero fuehallado en la acera, en unbarrio no frecuentado por losturistas, y que el informadorhabía presentado unadenuncia por amenazas el 12de abril, aunque no ofreciódetalles.

La organizaciónReporteros sin Fronteras(RSF) aseguró en uncomunicado que Romeroestaba bajo protección delmecanismo federal deprotección a periodistasdesde el año pasado, despuésde que dos compañeros suyosfueran asesinados.

Progress Michigan callsfor immediate investigationinto ‘Inman Bribery Scan-dal’

LANSING, May 15,2019: Progress Michigan iscalling on House SpeakerLee Chatfield and SenateLeader Mike Shirkey tolaunch investigations intothe Larry Inman bribery scan-dal.

Larry Inman was indictedby a federal Grand Jury forhis role in asking a laborunion for campaign contri-butions in exchange for a“no” vote on repealingMichigan’s prevailing wagelaw. However, the text mes-sage named in the indict-ment shows Inman was seek-ing campaign contributionsfor 12 members of the legis-lature.

“We know Inman sent thetext message but what wedon’t know is who the other11 elected officials are orwhat they knew about the

scheme to sell their votes,”said Lonnie Scott, executivedirector of Progress Michigan.“It’s important to know thefull scope of this scandal andthe only way to get to thebottom of it is for both theHouse and Senate leadershipto launch internal investiga-tions immediately.”

The text message sent byInman to the Carpenters Unionmakes clear that other repre-sentatives were part of hisscheme to get campaign con-tributions in exchange forvotes:

“I have heard most got$5,000 not $30,000,” he wrote,according to the text quotedin the indictment. “They willgive you the check back. I amnot sure you can hold 12people for the only help of$5,000. My suggestion is youneed to get people maxed out.… People will not go down for$5,000, not that we don’t ap-preciate it. Please get with theall the trades by Monday, I

would suggest maxing outon all 12, or at least doublingwhat you have given themon Tuesday, asap, we neverhad this discussion, Larry.”

“This is exactly whyProgress Michigan has calledfor the legislature to be sub-ject to FOIA for years,” Scottcontinued. “The people ofthis state deserve to know ifothers were part of thisscheme to sell their votes andif they were approached byany other organizationsseeking to buy their voteswith campaign contribu-tions.

“We know the other 11were house members lastyear, are the currently serv-ing in the House? Are somethem newly elected Senators?

We call on Leader MikeShirkey and Speaker LeeChatfield to investigate andidentify ‘Inman’s DirtyDozen’ so the public knowswhich of their officials werelooking to sell their votes.”

recibió una llamada telefónicaa las cinco de la mañana paraque fuera a cubrir un suceso aun bar. Una hora despuésencontraron el cuerpo delreportero a unos metros de eselugar. “Testigos señalan quetenía golpes en el cuerpo y dosdisparos en el rostro”, añadióel grupo.

Rubén Pat Cahuich, direc-tor del sitio online “PlayaNews Aquí y Ahora”, fueasesinado en julio de 2018.Un mes antes, desconocidosmataron al reportero depoliciales José GuadalupeChan Dzib, del mismo medio.

Romero colaboraba conellos y, después de sushomicidios, pidió ayuda almecanismo de protección fed-eral que le otorgó un “botónde pánico”, un vehículo y,unos meses después, unaescolta conformada por cuatropolicías que lo seguía cuandose desplazaba.

Sin embargo, según RSF,el periodista no estabaacompañado por los policíascuando lo asesinaron, porquea las 10 de la noche pidió a susguardaespaldas que seretiraran a descansar.

Apenas el 3 de mayo, fueasesinado Telésforo SantiagoEnríquez, maestro, defensor delos derechos indígenas yfundador de una radiocomunitaria en Oaxaca, en elsur de México.

Varios colectivos quedefienden la libertad deexpresión, entre ellos el CPJ y

RSF, se sumaron el miércolesa un manifiesto con motivodel segundo aniversario delasesinato del periodistasinaloense Javier Valdez, enel que mostraban supreocupación ante elambiente de hostilidad quese ha generado hacia laprensa, incluidas lasdescalificaciones que elpropio López Obrador hatenido contra quien se hamostrado crítico hacia sugestión.

Recordaron que el 99%de los asesinatos ydesapariciones deinformadores permanecenimpunes.

“A pesar de sucompromiso de combatir laimpunidad en crímenescontra la prensa,pronunciado (por elmandatario) en reiteradasocasiones, nos preocupa lafalta de una política integraldesarrollada por sugobierno con estafinalidad”, agrega elmanifiesto.

Al margen de la situaciónpara la prensa, Playa delCarmen, una localidadconocida por los turistas porsu vida nocturna, ha sidoescenario de una violenciacreciente en los últimosaños. En enero, sietehombres fueron asesinadosen un tiroteo en un bar y otrabalacera el lunes, tambiénen un bar, acabó con la vidade otra persona e hirió a once.

los departamentos de policíaa cumplir con las solicitudesde detención del ICE. Lamedida, que ya se encuentraen el Senado tambiénpermitiría que los ciudadanosdemanden a losdepartamentos de policía queno se apeguen a la medida, loque podría resultar en multas.

FORT LAUDERDALE,Florida, 16 V 19 (AP): Lasautoridades de Florida sepreparan frenéticamente pararecibir a inmigrantesenviados por el gobierno fed-eral debido al aumento en elnúmero de personas alojadasen la frontera entre México yEstados Unidos, dijeronfuncionarios el jueves.

El alcalde del condadoBroward, Mark Bogen, dijoque las autoridades de sucomunidad y del vecinocondado Palm Beach fueronalertadas por el gobierno fed-eral de que más de 100inmigrantes serían enviadospor avión cada semana a suscondados, empezandodentro de unas dos semanas.No se han designadoalbergues y no hayfinanciamiento federalasignado para albergar,alimentar o protegerlos,agregó Bogen.

El alcalde demócrata dijoque era una “crisishumanitaria” y advirtió quemuchos podrían convertirseen indigentes.

El jefe de policía delcondado Palm Beach, RicBradshaw, dijo que fuenotificado de los planes en laoficina de la PatrullaFronteriza en Miami, y queun total de 1.000 personaspor mes serían traídas a losdos condados desde el áreade El Paso, Texas. Agregóque “unidades familiares” demigrantes serían procesadasen ambos condados de Mi-ami, se les entregaría unanotificación para comparecerante la corte y luego seríanliberados en la comunidad.

WASHINGTON, DC, 16V 19 (AP): Dejando a un ladosu dura retórica contra lainmigración ilegal, elpresidente Donald Trumpdijo el jueves que queríareclutar “gran talento” parael país mientras anunciabasus más recientes planes parareformar las leyes deresidencia tras años de revesesy estancamientos.

“Discriminamos a losgenios”, dijo Trump de lasactuales leyes, que afirmófavorecen en exceso a lainmigración basada en fa-milia. “Discriminamos a labrillantez. Ya no lo haremosuna vez que esto se apruebe”.

La nueva iniciativa,impulsada por JaredKushner, yerno y asesor deTrump, se centra en laseguridad fronteriza y enmodificar el actual sistemade “green cards” (tarjetas deresidencia permanente parainmigrantes) a fin de quefavorezca a personasaltamente calificadas, concarreras universitarias y queya recibieron ofertas deempleo, y no a parientes dequienes ya están en EstadosUnidos.

El cambio propuesto a unsistema basado en méritos quedé prioridad a empleados dealto nivel rompería con laestrategia actual basada engran parte en la familia, quelas autoridades dicen queotorga aproximadamente66% de tarjetas verdes a per-sonas con familiares y 12% apersonas por habilidades.

El plan del presidente,

“No sabemos si eso significaun joven de 15 años, una madrey un padre, o un niño de 5 añosy una madre”, dijo Bradshaw.“Creemos que es un tema deseguridad pública. ¿Cuál es sucondición de salud?”.

El presidente Donald Trumpinsinuó el mes pasado queestaba sopesando liberar a“inmigrantes ilegales” en lasasí llamadas “ciudadessantuario” para castigar a susenemigos demócratas en elCongreso por no actuar parasolucionar los problemas en lafrontera.

Aunque en el pasado elDepartamento de Justicia haenlistado a Broward y a PalmBeach como jurisdiccionessantuario—y ambos sonbastiones demócratas—, lasautoridades en amboscondados han dicho que estáncumpliendo con las solicitudesfederales para aplicar las leyesde inmigración.

El legislador demócrata TedDeutch dijo que las políticasmigratorias de Trump son“mezquinas”, e indicó que nologró que las autoridadesfederales le aclararan sus planespara Florida. Exhortó a laOficina de Aduanas yProtección Fronteriza a que leinforme al Congreso sobre lasituación y sobre qué ayudaproporcionaría el gobierno fed-eral.

La medida se toma mientrasun creciente número decubanos se han sumado a losmigrantes de Centroamérica yotras partes que intentan llegara Estados Unidos a través de lafrontera con México, creandoun enorme rezago de personasque esperan del lado mexicano

durante meses para suoportunidad de solicitar asilo.La llegada de cubanos a lafrontera ha sido en partemotivada por una mayorflexibilidad para viajar aCentroamérica y por eldeterioro en las condicionesde vida en Cuba.

En días recientes, lasautoridades estadounidenseshan utilizado autobuses yaviones para transportar a losmigrantes de zonas menossaturadas, como Colorado,para ser procesados.

El alcalde de Browardadvirtió que el influjoafectaría los servicios socialesdel condado y sería perjudicialpara los inmigrantes varadossin dinero, albergue oconocimiento de la ciudad.Agregó que las autoridadesbuscan a organizaciones nolucrativas y empresas paraencontrar recursos y otro tipode apoyo.

“Si el presidente no nosprovee con asistenciafinanciera para albergar yalimentar a estas personas,estará creando uncampamento de personas sinhogar”, dijo Bogen. “Sugeriríaque los llevemos a los hotelesTrump y le pidamos alpresidente que también abrasu corazón y hogar”.

Los administradores enBroward y Palm Beachplanean tener una sesión paraencontrar una estrategia. Elalcalde del condado PalmBeach, Mack Bernard, dijoque contactaría al gobernadorRon DeSantis y que la cargasobre su condado será“enorme, específicamente en

develado en una ceremonia enla Casa Blanca, todavía debeaceptarla su propio Partido—ylos demócratas—, y se enfrentaa un futuro dudoso en el divididoCongreso. Trump intentamostrar mayor flexibilidad enel tema con miras a la eleccióndel 2020.

“Nuestro plan es a favor delos estadounidenses, losinmigrantes y los trabajadores”,dijo Trump y agregó quecontrasta con el “caos” que—dijo—apoyan los demócratas.

“Nuestra propuesta cumplecon nuestro deber sagrado conlos que ahora viven aquí,mientras asegura que EstadosUnidos siga siendo un paísacogedor para los inmigrantesque se unirán a nosotrosmañana”, agregó.

Desde hace tres décadas, losintentos de reformar el sistemainmigratorio no han llegado aningún lado por las fuertesdivisiones partidistas. Losprospectos de un acuerdoparecen particularmentedébiles al acercarse laselecciones de 2020, aunque elplan podría darle a Trump y alPartido Republicano unapropuesta con la cual hacercampaña, incluso cuando losdemócratas manifestaron suoposición.

La presidenta de la Cámarade Representantes, NancyPelosi, dijo que el énfasis deTrump de la inmigración basadaen méritos es“condescendiente” porque lasfamilias también tienen mérito.

El plan no aborda qué hacercon las personas que viven sinpermiso en Estados Unidos, en-

tre ellos los llamados“dreamers”, los inmigrantestraídos al país cuando eranniños y una de las prioridadespara los demócratas.Tampoco reduce las tasasgenerales de inmigración,como muchos republicanosconservadores quisieran.

En una sesión informativacon la prensa el miércoles a laque asistieron docenas deperiodistas, funcionarios delgobierno dijeron que el planpodría crear un sistema devisas basado en puntos, simi-lar al aplicado por Canadá yotros países.

Estados Unidosconcedería el mismo númerode “green cards” como hastaahora, pero un númeromucho mayor seríanentregadas a estudiantese x c e p c i o n a l e s ,profesionales y personas condiplomas técnicos. Otrosfactores que serán tomadosen cuenta son la edad, eldominio del inglés y lasofertas de empleo.

Un número mucho menorde “green cards” seotorgarán a las personas conparientes en territorioestadounidense. Podría sereliminada la lotería de visaspor diversidad, que ofreceresidencia a ciudadanos depaíses con bajas tasashistóricas de inmigraciónhacia Estados Unidos.

When I was first elected toCongress in 1982, women weren’tallowed in the Housegym, American Motors was stillproducing cars such as theGremlin and the Pacer in myhometown of Toledo, and Ohiohad just elected 10Democrats toCongress.

That last number might notsound like a big deal, but thechance of that happening todayborders on impossible.

In 1982, Ohio sent 21 repre-sentatives — 10 Democrats and11 Republicans — to Congressfrom districts that were drawn tobe competitive and compact.Voting patterns haven’t changedmuch since: In 2018, 2,245,403Ohioans voted to send a Repub-lican to Congress and 2,019,120Ohioans voted to send aDemocrat. That’s 52 percent to47 percent. Yet only four Demo-crats were elected last fall, com-pared with 12 Republicans.

We all know the culprit: radi-cal, partisan gerrymandering.

From January 1983 to Decem-ber 2012, my district stayedlargely the same — always cen-tered around Toledo. But after theRepublican victory in 2010, Re-publicans redrew the lines in theirfavor, to appalling effect. WhenGOP operatives emerged from aclosed-door hotel conferenceroom in 2011, they delivered oneof the most politically gerryman-dered congressional maps thecountry had ever seen. Democratswere packed into as few districts aspossible, suppressing the value ofhundreds of thousands of votes.

Cleveland’s Democratic rep-resentative, Dennis Kucinich, andI were gerrymandered into thesame district — now known as the“Snake on the Lake” — and forcedto run against each another. This

Sylvania, OH, May 10,2019: The Northwest OhioScholarship Fund (NOSF)will be hosting its 7th annualRaise the Cap event on Thurs-day, June 6 at Fifth ThirdField. Toledo Mud Hens takeon the Indianapolis Indians.

The baseball/scholarshipevent will be held in TheRoost, on the 3rd floor of thestadium that overlooks thefield. Tickets are $60 andinclude dinner and a reservedseat.

Event Chair Kim Sofo saidof Raise the Cap, “This eventis a wonderful way to bringscholarship families andfriends of NOSF together fora great night of food and base-ball while raising funds forfuture scholarships. “

Proceeds for this annualevent help children in theNorthwest Ohio community

TOLEDO, May 7, 2019:The Oswald Supporting Or-ganization of the ToledoCommunity Foundation re-cently awarded grants to-taling $134,000 to sevennonprofit organizations:

· Advocating Opportu-nity, Inc. – a grant of $19,452was awarded to supporttrauma-responsive caretraining for providers ofhuman trafficking services.

· Connecting Kids toMeals – a grant of $25,000was awarded to supportafterschool and summermeal services for children.

· Dental Center of North-west Ohio – a grant of$15,000 was awarded tosupport oral health and caremanagement services forlow-income families andtheir children.

· Family and Child Abuse

My district was gerrymandered. The damage iseasy to measure.By: Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (D-OH)May 14, 2019, as appeared in The Washington Post

long, skinny district stretchesnearly 100 miles from Toledoto Cleveland, is less than a milewide in some places and is con-tiguous only by Lake Erie.

And though Ohio lost twoseats to reapportionment in thatyear, Republican representationincreased from eight to 12, whileour party’s share fell from 10 tofour. It’s stayed there ever since.

The damage done by gerry-mandering isn’t difficult tomeasure. It breeds partisan leg-islators, who in turn breed apartisan Congress. Gerryman-dering has made virtually allHouse seats safer — includingmine — and the members whohold those safe seats are oftenless responsive to communitiesand unwilling to compromisein Washington.

The bipartisan camaraderiethat once existed in the House isnow all but gone. Because mem-bers come from safer seats, theyhave less incentive to build mean-ingful relationships with thoseoutside their own party, and sothey make fewer friends andrarely have constructive debates.

The result is both the decayof our national discourse andthe failure of our institutions tofulfill their most basic functions.

More fundamentally, thegerrymander dilutes the popu-lar vote to protect incumbents.Instead of the voters pickingtheir leaders, the leaders picktheir voters.

But there is hope.Two weeks ago, a panel of

federal judges for the SouthernDistrict of Ohio struck downOhio’s congressional districtmap as an unconstitutional,partisan gerrymander — echo-ing similar rulings in four otherstates.

Judge Karen Nelson Mooreof the U.S. Court of Appeals forthe 6th Circuit wrote in her opin-ion that Ohio’s map is “so skewedtoward one party that the elec-toral outcome is predetermined,” and concluded “the map un-constitutionally burdens asso-ciational rights by making itmore difficult for voters and cer-tain organizations to advancetheir aims.”

Ohio was ordered to submitnew legislative maps to the courtby June 14. If it fails to enact aremedial plan, or enacts a planthat the court finds illegal, thecourt will appoint a special mas-ter to redraw the lines.

Ohio’s Republican attorneygeneral has said he will appealthe decision to the SupremeCourt. This presents the courtwith an opportunity to considerthe will of the voters, to upholdfairness and to restore democ-racy in Ohio. And it is clear thepublic wants change: In2018, Ohio voters approved bi-partisan map-drawing by anoverwhelming majority — 75percent to 25 percent.

Given how close our elec-tions have been over the past 30years, my state should probablyhave eight Republicans and eightDemocrats representing it inWashington.

In the meantime, gerryman-dering contorts communities andmakes too many lawmakers po-litically untouchable. Every-one, in Ohio and the nation, suf-fers when outcomes are preor-dained and engineered to theextremes. Restoring representa-tive delegations to Congressmust be the first step in restoringthe public’s confidence in ourgovernment. Liberty and justicemust be restored.

Prevention Center – a grantof $15,000 was awarded tosupport the Domestic Vio-lence Advocacy Program.

· Lourdes University – agrant of $13,500 was awardedto support the Parent Insti-tute.

· Toledo Orchestra Asso-ciation, Inc. – a grant of$25,000 was awarded to sup-port the Community MusicLessons program.

· TutorSmart – a grant of$21,048 was awarded to sup-port academic tutoring ser-vices.

Toledo Public UtilitiesDirector Ed Moore an-nounced a new partnershiptoday with Cherry StreetMission Ministries thatwill allow students in itscall center customer train-ing program to practicetheir skills at the EngageToledo call center.

“Our Engage Toledo callcenter handles customerservice inquiries for amyriad of different issuesand the Cherry Street stu-dents will get valuablehands-on training duringthis program,” Mr. Mooresaid. “They could poten-tially land a job once theyreceive their certificate atthe end of their eight-weekcourse with Cherry Street

A new community center,charter school, and multiuseathletic field are among multi-million dollar improvementsfamilies will see start by theend of summer along theBroadway Corridor. While theprojects are independent ofeach other, the maininfluencers on each have tiesto the Historic South End ini-tiative.

First, the Toledo Plan Com-mission on Thursday, May 9,gave approval for a special-use permit to open and oper-ate a new community centerat 1623 Broadway, whichwould promote the reuse ofan existing, vacant building.Mosaic Ministries, which runsthe outreach programs ofWestern Avenue BaptistChurch of Toledo, is propos-ing to relocate an existingcenter just a couple of blocksfrom an existing location onOrchard St., as well as build acharter school.

Bob Welly is listed as themain organizer of the project.He has been organizing anextensive set of home reno-vations led by the HistoricSouth End initiative alongCrittenden and Western Aves.

“This is part of a jigsawpuzzle program we’re in-volved with. This buildinghas been vacant 10 or 15 years.It’s a large building,” saidWelly, Mosaic Ministriesboard president. “The plan isto move the operation ofMosaic Ministries from theold St. James School into thisbuilding as phase one of abigger project. Phase 2 willbe further development of thisbuilding, including an addi-tion to make it available for acharter school that we’reworking with.”

The charter school wouldoperate K through sixthgrade, with the hope of even-tually expanding to the

Mission Ministries. Theseare individuals looking foremployment, and we arelooking for employees, sowe think this is a really goodfit. Over the past year, wehave worked with CherryStreet Mission Ministries todevelop a partnership thatbenefits both the ministryitself and the people in ourcommunity.”

Cherry Street PresidentMax Lambdin said he wasexcited to have Engage To-ledo join the consortium ofemployer partners for the callcenter customer training pro-gram. The training programbegan in 2016 and classesaverage about 16 students.Cherry Street partners withNorthwest State Community

College to do the training,Mr. Lambdin said.

“These individuals aregraduating with a certifi-cate, yes, but they are ac-tually coming through arigorous process wherethey have become wholeand, in significant ways,continue to pursue that,”Mr. Lambdin said. “Theyhave a tremendous attitudeand a desire to be part, notonly of a workforce, butknowing who they are.”

eighth grade, a format simi-lar to how Toledo PublicSchools operate all of its el-ementary schools. Welly in-dicated the charter school ad-dition would involve a $6million to $7 million project.The charter school alsowould require approval of aspecial use permit.

Mosaic Ministries currentlyoperates Baby University, a pre-K program that involvesyoung children and their par-ents in a specialized curricu-lum. The program gives par-ents in low-income neighbor-hoods the tools to close aneducation gap, where studieshave shown children from low-income neighborhoods enterkindergarten 60 percent be-hind their middle-class coun-terparts in learning develop-ment. Much of that gap is madeup when parents read to theirkids more often.

There is also a communityfeeding program, which pro-vides breakfast six days perweek and dinner four eveningseach week. Those are done inconjunction with Vision Min-istries.

“Between the two, we coverseven dinners a week in theneighborhood. Those are freefor anyone who wishes to at-tend,” Welly told the plan com-mission, while indicating thefeeding program currentlyserves “hundreds,” especiallytoward the end of the monthwhen money runs low for manyfamilies.

The Broadway CorridorCoalition already has giventhe project its blessing. Theproposal must still receiveToledo City Council approval.Council’s planning and zon-ing committee will considerthe community center plan ata public hearing June 12. Oncefinal approval is granted, workcould begin later this summer.

The next investment, to be

completed by the end of theyear, is the complete renova-tion of Danny Thomas Park,which currently includes agrass baseball diamond, abasketball court, a small prac-tice football field, a picnicpavilion, and a jungle gym.However, it is unclear ex-actly when those renovationswill begin.

“While there is a lot ofactivity at the park, little hasbeen done to update the parkthese past 60 years,” HistoricSouth End executive direc-tor Chris Amato wrote in arecent email to supporters.“That is going to change verysoon!”

Amato indicated the com-bined park improvementswould result in a $1.5 mil-lion investment.

The Cal Ripken Sr. Foun-dation has adopted DannyThomas Park as their firstYouth Development Park inOhio. The Historic South Endinitiative secured a $400,000state grant, along with addi-tional investment by cityleaders. The YMCA and theBelieve Center also are part-ners in the overall project.

Park renovations thisyear will include a state-of-the-art turf field for base-ball and soccer, with com-plete fencing and dugouts.The lower portion of thepark will see new basket-ball courts, a picnic pavil-ion, and areas for childrento play.

The project has been‘adopted’ by some membersof St. John’s High Schoolclass of 1969. A majorfundraising event was heldin Scottsdale, Arizona at thehome of a class member’sfriend, other alumni engagedin raising significant finan-cial support in the Toledocommunity, according toAmato’s email.

As more and more asy-lum-seekers are being re-leased from detention cen-ters along the southern U.S.border, the immigration “cri-sis” has become real for ushere in Toledo.

It is important to under-stand why and how this ishappening (cultural aware-ness), and what we as a com-munity can do to welcomeand assist language diverseasylum-seeking families andindividuals fleeing war and

death.This training on June 15

will provide an overview ofimmigration history, thesanctuary movement, andprovide attendees an oppor-tunity to become an agent ofsocial change at the ToledoGreyhound Bus Station.This is a training where learn-ing becomes doing and do-ing creates positive and com-passionate change for allthose involved.
