1/ 35 years ago, lawyers representing teenage refugees took on the U.S. immigration system and won the first legal protections for migrant kids. Now, the Trump administration wants to terminate that deal.

This is the story behind the Flores Settlement Agreement.

Part 1:
2/ Part 2:
3/ Last month, U.S. District Judge Dolly Gee rejected Trump’s attempt to end Flores and kept it in place. The White House is likely to appeal, and the U.S. Supreme Court could ultimately decide the fate of the Flores settlement.

As smoke from several wildfires blankets several areas of California, a reminder that its effects can linger for months: revealnews.org/article/the-sm…
As part of an analysis we completed last year, we found that emergency room visits in CA surged several months after a previous large wildfire was extinguished.
If you're in the #BayArea, we suggest following our friends at @KQED for updates about smoke conditions near you. #KincadeFire

1/ The latest story to come out of our Reveal Reporting Networks landed today in @eastbayexpress, and it’s a BIG one.

On paper, police in #Oakland, CA, solve 60% of reported sexual assaults.

Yet only 13% of its cases actually lead to arrest.

Why? eastbayexpress.com/oakland/why-do…
2/ “Oakland police inexplicably terminated more than 250 felony sexual assault cases during the three years from 2014 to 2016,” @eastbayexpress reports.
3/ In 253 separate sexual assault cases, the survivor wanted to press charges, and the police claimed to have cracked the case. Yet ultimately, the case was abandoned for no apparent reason, per @EastBayExpress' reporting.

#TrumpMBSNuclear
(MBS = Mohamed Bin Salman, leader of Saoudi Arabia)

SUMMARIZED FOR YOU:
Report on Nuclear Reactor Lobby
by Committee on Oversight and Reform
Chairman: Rep. Elijah Cummings
Corporate interests of specific companies are more than legally allowed influencing US Security Policy.
Think of: selling NUCLEAR REACTORS to Saudi Arabia (about 30), passing by non-proliferation concerns.
Also passing by PUBLIC DEBATE (aswellas fair chances of rival companies).
Officials of ONE COMPANY, named IP3, had unprecedented access to key figures around and including the president.
Tom Barrack (direct friend of Trump) played a key role as a liaison (most likely a paid one). This going on from the inauguration, which is more than 2 years ago.

#Trump campaign #BradPascale in #Romania makes me ponder a few questions:
🤔
-Using trip to influence US Romania emigrant voters?
-Purpose is to offer #socialmedia manipulation advice for #EU May vote?
-Perfect opportunity to meet with other election manipulators in the region?

Could Romanian media influence Romanian American voters?
As Romanian immigrants in America steadily increase, the population of Romanian voters might be heavily influenced by the strong ties to political and religious opinions held by leaders in Romania.
