HOUSTON, August 7,2018 (AP): The AmericanCivil Liberties Union(ACLU) sued the U.S. gov-ernment Tuesday over itsefforts to prevent immigrantsfrom seeking asylum due todomestic and/or gang vio-lence in their home coun-tries.
The ACLU’s lawsuit asksa judge to invalidate Attor-ney General Jeff Sessions’June 11 decision to restrictthe kinds of cases thatqualify for asylum. The law-suit was filed on behalf of 12parents and children who theACLU says were wronglyfound not to have a crediblefear of return.
If Sessions’ memo stands,the lawsuit argues, people“desperately seeking safetywill be unlawfully deportedto places where they fear they
Advocacygroup saysGuatemalanimmigrant,daughterreunited
MCALLEN, Texas, Au-gust 4, 2018 (AP): A legaladvocacy group in Texassays an immigrant fromGuatemala has been re-united with his 2-year-olddaughter after being sepa-rated by authorities whenthey crossed the U.S.-Mexico border in July.
The Texas Civil RightsProject announced Satur-day Mario Pérez Domingoand his daughter were re-united after the results of aDNA test.
The two had been sepa-rated on July 7 after agentsdidn’t believe he was thefather, forcing him to sub-mit DNA evidence to provehe was the parent.
U.S. Customs and Bor-der Protection had said thatunder questioning, Pérezadmitted the child was hisniece and a smuggler hadgiven him a false documentin their native Guatemala.
But the project saysPérez speaks an indigenouslanguage [Mayan lan-guage family] and agentsdidn’t have an interpreterwhen they questioned him.
Judge haltsdeportation,threatensSessions withcontempt
WASHINGTON, DC,August 9, 2018 (AP): Afederal judge has halted adeportation in progressand threatened to hold At-torney General Jeff Ses-sions in contempt if themother and daughter aren’treturned to the U.S.
U.S. District JudgeEmmet G. Sullivan ofWashington learnedThursday that the two wereon a plane headed to Cen-tral America. He said anydelay in bringing themback would be intolerable.
The judge said Ses-sions and Homeland Se-curity Secretary KirstjenNielsen should argue whythey shouldn’t be held incontempt of court if theyfailed to comply.
The woman—identi-fied in court as Carmen—is a plaintiff in a lawsuitfiled this week against theadministration by theAmerican Civil LibertiesUnion over efforts to pre-vent immigrants from seek-ing asylum due to domes-tic and/or gang violencein their home countries.
will be raped, kidnapped,beaten, and killed.”
Asylum can be granted tosomeone who was persecutedin their home country or couldbe persecuted if forced to re-turn. Thousands of people seekasylum each month at U.S.Customs and Border Protec-tion stations along the south-west border. Most are fromCentral American countriestorn apart by violence, gangs,and corruption.
Top officials in DonaldTrump’s administration saythe asylum process is beingexploited by immigrantswho are counting on passingthe initial credible fearscreening and being releasedinto the country.
The new lawsuit, filed inWashington, DC widens theongoing battle between theACLU and the U.S. govern-
ment over immigration policy.A federal judge in San Diegoordered the reunification ofthousands of families sepa-rated under the Trumpadministration’s zero-toler-ance policy for border cross-ers, after the ACLU sued thereearlier this year.
Sessions’ June memo over-ruled a 2014 decision by theBoard of Immigration Appealsin favor of a Guatemalanwoman who fled her husbandafter what the board called “re-pugnant abuse.” The boardfound that the woman was amember of a particular socialgroup eligible for asylum—inthis case, married women inGuatemala who could notleave their relationship.
Immigration courts andjudges operate under the Jus-tice Department, and Ses-sions can overrule the board.
In this case, he said the boardhad erred.
Many asylum seekers “areleaving difficult and danger-ous situations,” Sessions saidin a June speech. “But we can-not abandon legal disciplineand sound legal concepts.”
The decision had immedi-ate impact.
Immigration lawyers saypeople who they expectedwould pass credible fear screen-ings began to fail them, andlawyers say immigrationjudges are signing off on moredenials during appeals, effec-tively ending what could havebeen a years-long asylum pro-cess before it began.
The number of immigrantswho didn’t pass credible fearscreenings rose in June, ac-cording to new statistics thegovernment released Tuesday.Asylum officers denied about
13 percent of cases in Junecompared with 8 percent inMay and an average of 10percent during the previousfiscal year, according to datafrom U.S. Citizenship and Im-migration Services.
Among the people suingin the ACLU’s lawsuit is awoman identified only by apseudonym, Grace. TheACLU says Grace’s partnerbeat her and her children, andsexually assaulted her andher daughter. Once, theACLU says, her daughtersuffered a miscarriage afterhe attacked her. The lawsuitsays the police did not actwhen she contacted them.
The lawsuit says Gracewas found not to have a cred-ible fear of persecution. Sheremains in detention inTexas. Taxin reported fromSanta Ana, California.

CIUDAD DE GUATE-MALA, 7 VIII 18 (AP):Lourdes de León no puedeparar de llorar. Está feliz dereunirse con su hijo LeoJeancarlo, de seis años,porque ambos fueronseparados en mayo pasadoal cruzar la frontera entreEstados Unidos y México.

“Quiero ver a mi mamá”,decía Leo al bajar del avióne ingresar a una pequeñasala de juegos pintada deazul, blanco y amarillo pas-tel en el Aeropuertocapitalino de La Aurora. Ahílos niños comían galletasde fresa y tomabanIncaparina, una bebidahecha a base de maíz y soyaque es un suplementealimenticio muy común enel país centroamericano. AhíLeo comió y jugó con legos,se puso una peluca afro y riomientras esperaba serregistrado y revisado por unmédico. Luego fuetrasladado al albergue
estatal “Nuestras Raíces”,donde tres horas despuésencontró a su mamá.
Dentro del albergue estabasu madre, de 27 años, que lohabía esperado desde las ochode la mañana. Cuandovolvieron a verse, alrededorde la 2:30 de la tarde, se hincópara abrazarlo.
“Te prometo que nuncamás me voy a separar de ti”,dijo Lourdes llorando.
Leo sólo cargaba con unamochila, un pequeño maletíncon ropa y vestía jeans,camiseta de Spider-Man y unagorra azul.
Al salir del albergue conLeo, Lourdes explicó aperiodistas que sintió un granalivio.
“Estoy feliz. Lo único quequiero es estar con mi hijo asolas”, dijo mientras subía aun bus alquilado por la cadenaUnivisión para transportarla.
Lourdes explicó tambiénque no regresará a su natal SanMarcos, un departamentofronterizo con México, sinoque permanecerá unos díascon familiares en la capitalguatemalteca. Al preguntarlesi nuevamente intentaríamigrar a Estados Unidos, dioun rotundo “no”.
Nazario Jacinto Carrillotambién llegó a la capitalguatemalteca desde suoriundo Huehuetenango —unos 300 kilómetros al norestede la capital— a recoger a suhija Filomena, de cinco años.La niña era una de las máspequeñas en el grupo.
Cuando bajó del avión se
tomó de la mano con otramenor y llegaron juntashablando. Una vez en la salade espera del Aeropuertoempezó a preguntar “¿a quéhora voy a ver a mi papá?”,mientras una psicóloga leexplicaba que debía esperarun poco. “También quierover a mi hermanita”, dijo.
Jacinto también fueseparado de su pequeña porla patrulla fronteriza alintentar migrar a EstadosUnidos hace tres meses. Suhija, como Leo, permanecióen el centro de atención Ca-yuga Center, en Nueva York.
A diferencia de Lourdes,Jacinto evitó hablar conperiodistas.

Durante sus 54 años dehistoria de producción, elMustang ha sido ensambladoen San José, California, yMetuchen, Nueva Jersey, asícomo en la armadora origi-nal de Mustang en Dearborn.En estos días, Flat Rock es lacasa del Mustang.
Técnicamente, el primerhogar del auto perteneció a
Gail Wise, quien mantieneun lugar importante en laleyenda popular de Mus-tang.
“Ford dice que fui laprimera persona en comprarun Mustang”, dijo laresidente de Park Ridge,Illinois, parada junto a supreciada posesión afueradel complejo de oficinasde Ford.
Entonces una maestra de22 años, Wise llegó aJohnson Ford en Chicagoel 15 de abril de 1964 ysalió siendo propietaria deun auto nuevo, uno todavíarecordado por muchos.

Como economista,disfruta de desarrollarproyectos productivos.“Desde que llegue a Detroit,me involucré en la AsociaciónMexicanas en Michigan y medi cuenta que hay muchasmujeres con negociospropios, ya sea en su casa o enun local establecido, de ahísurgió mi idea de acercarmemás en la Red Global MXpara ver de qué manera podíaayudarles a seguir creciendo.También participe en lareunión anual de la Red Glo-bal en Hidalgo el año pasadoy me di cuenta de los proyectosque se realizan en todo elmundo a beneficio deMéxico”, señaló.
El primer proyecto comoPresidenta es desarrollar unaaplicación deemprendimiento para las
mujeres y hombresmexicanos que seencuentran aquí en Michi-gan y tengan algún negocio,sin importar el tamaño.“Quiero agrupar a todos paraque se den a conocer tanto ennuestra comunidad como enla anglosajona y de esamanera, crezcan susnegocios; es decir que sepuedan recomendar entreellos” agregó la entrevistada.“También promoveremos eltalento que tiene nuestragente en México, ya quealgunas personas de allá nosayudarán a desarrollar la

Otro de los proyectos de lanueva Presidenta es comenzara usar membresías para formarparte del Capítulo Detroit.“Queremos elaborar una basede datos en donde podamossaber cuántos profesionistastenemos en Michigan y dequé tipo. Sabemos que hayingenieros, nutriólogos ymercadologos, pero queremossaber qué otras profesionestenemos para podervincularlos con las empresasamericanas o bien, nos puedanapoyar con platicasmotivacionales deorientación vocacional aestudiantes en México que nosepan qué carrera estudiar”.
La ventaja de la membresíaserá obtener descuentos ociertos beneficios enempresas, tiendasd e p a r t a m e n t a l e s ,conferencias gratis, reunionesde trabajo, entre otros. “Porejemplo, estamos planeandoque Aeroméxico nos dendescuento en sus vuelos.También tenemosrestaurantes como Galindosque nos van a dar descuentosen sus comidas. Es decir,estamos trabajando parapoder brindarles grandesbeneficios a nuestrosmiembros”, agregó laentrevistada. Cabe destacar
que todavía seestá trabajandoen los detalles del costo de lamembresía y tan prontotengan todo listo, se dará aconocer. Por el momento, losinteresados puedencomunicarse con Laura al(313) 768 4261 o por correo:[email protected]
La Red Global MX cuentaactualmente con más de 6500miembros que forman parte delos 61 capítulos locales conautonomía de gestión y acción,dichos capítulos se encuentranen 29 países y cuatro regiones:Canadá, América, Europa yAsia-Oceanía. Todos losmiembros están interesados enla promoción del desarrollo deMéxico y en particular en lainserción de México en laeconomía del conocimiento.
Es importante señalar queestudios señalan a Méxicocomo el primer exportador deAmérica Latina y el sexto aescala mundial de migraciónaltamente calificada hacia lospaíses de la Organización parala Cooperación y el DesarrolloEconómicos OCDE. EnEstados Unidos, por ejemplo,la cantidad de mexicanos congrado de licenciatura, maestríao doctorado en 2011 ascendióa más de un millón de personas,el segundo grupo nacional demigración calificadaúnicamente después de la In-dia. En otros estudios, se señalaque el número de migrantesmexicanos altamentecalificados en este país creció2.4 veces entre 2000 y 2012, alpasar de 411 mil a 1 millón 150mil.
En este contexto, elGobierno de Méxicodeterminó como temaprioritario el desarrollo deprogramas de vinculaciónpermanente con losconnacionales calificados, asícomo el fortalecimiento yconsolidación de redes deconocimiento para eliminar elconcepto de fuga de cerebros yadoptar un paradigma fincado
en la circularidad delconocimiento, que buscacombatir viejos prejuicios quepersisten en concebir a losemigrados como una pérdidapermanente para los paísesemisores.
La experiencia de diversospaíses con emigraciónsignificativa sugiere que larepatriación no es una opciónviable para muchos de susconnacionales, por lo que seconsidera que el trabajo ycontacto permanente es unamanera de aprovechar elconocimiento, experiencia ycontactos de los migrantesaltamente calificados, a favordel desarrollo de México. Coneste fin, a partir de 2005 seiniciaron trabajos conjuntosentre la Secretaría deRelaciones Exteriores (a travésdel IME), la Secretaría deEconomía, el ConsejoNacional para la Ciencia yTecnología (CONACYT) y laFundación México – EstadosUnidos para la Ciencia(FUMEC), para crear la Red deTalentos Mexicanos en elExterior (hoy Red Global MX),la cual tuvo su inicio formal en2006 con la constitución delCapítulo Silicon Valley enCalifornia, Estados Unidos.
Los pilares fundamentalesde la Red Global MX son:Ciencia y Tecnología,Investigación y Academia;Emprendimiento conInnovación; ResponsabilidadSocial e Industrias Creativas yEntretenimiento.
“Lo que deseamos espromover lazos entre Méxicoy personas altamentecalificadas que residen en elexterior. Así como facilitar lageneración de proyectos dealto valor agregado en las áreasde desarrollo de negocios,educación para la innovaciónglobal y soporte a lascomunidades mexicanas enel exterior”, concluyó laPresidenta.

C L E V E -LAND, August12, 2018: TheCleveland Mu-seum of Art(CMA) releasedits first diver-sity, equity andinclusion plan. The planoutlines a comprehensiveand concrete series of ini-tiatives that will advancethe CMA’s recentlyadopted strategic plan,Making Art Matter, as themuseum activates andstrengthens its commitmentto all audiences.
The Diversity, Equityand Inclusion plan willensure that the institutionbetter reflects the demo-graphics of the region that itserves and is positioned toconnect with a larger, morediverse local, national andinternational community.
“The Diversity, Equityand Inclusion plan is theresult of a year and a half ofthoughtful work and col-laboration between ourboard of trustees and a work-ing group of staff and vol-unteers,” said William M.Griswold, CMA directorand president. “The teamshave come together to de-velop a clear, actionableplan that will work to de-
liver on the promise of ourstrategic plan and institu-tional mission—to createtransformative experiencesthrough art, for the benefit ofall the people forever.”
“The Cleveland Museumof Art is committed to remov-ing barriers and creating op-portunities, using the collec-tion as a means for bringingpeople together to learn, dis-cuss and draw inspiration fromgreat works of art,” said CMAboard chair Peter E. Raskind.
“As a museum dedicatedto the art of every culture,place and period, diversity isa core value. With this plan,we are poised to set an ex-ample and better represent themany audiences of our com-munity and world,” said CMAtrustee Helen Forbes Fields.
The CMA’s Diversity,Equity and Inclusion planpositions the CMA as a leaderin efforts to address diversityand inclusion in the museumindustry. While many strate-gies will be employed, theCMA has already received
