  Many of the estimated 74,000 immigrants typically held in detention centers in California don’t have adequate access to lawyers, are sent to facilities far from their families, and are often kept in their cells up to 22 hours a day.
  Those were some of the findings in a 147-report issued Tuesday by the California Attorney General, the first to be issued as part of a 2017 state law that calls for regular reporting on how immigrant detainees are treated in California.

  26-02-2019 22:20
  
  A lawsuit recently filed in state court seeks to force the city of Orange to change how its City Council members are chosen by voters.
  The city uses the at-large system, where all voters choose from the slate of candidates for the council.
  That system dilutes the votes of Latinos, which make up nearly 40 percent of the city’s population, said Kevin Shenkman, the attorney who filed the lawsuit. His firm had sent a letter in April 2017 demanding the city adopt district-based elections. Under

  In 1980, 15,000 Haitians took to boats to come to America. President Jimmy Carter initially welcomed the refugees. The impact on Florida labor markets, however, and the contemporaneous arrival of Cuban refugees (including criminals and insane people) in the Mariel boatlift turned United States public opinion.
  President Ronald Reagan ordered a new policy. Since American law grants any foreigner who makes it to U.S. territory the right to petition for asylum, the new policy sought to keep Haitians
