The DHS memo details four separate plans of varying scope, from granting EADs to all who are physically present in the United States to granting them only to individuals who are in \u201ccertain lawful nonimmigrant status\u201d such as refugees, and includes \u201cpros\u201d and \u201ccons\u201d for each. The memo shows that rather than waiting for the court\u2019s decision, the administration is aggressively planning how to implement reform.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hunger strike in Texas immigrant detention center<\/strong><br \/>\nTwenty-seven detainees began a hunger strike Oct. 28 at the T. Don Hutto detention center in Taylor, Texas, according to Grassroots Leadership, an organization that advocates ending for-profit prisons. The detainees at the for-profit women\u2019s-only center are demanding immediate release. Since Grassroots first learned of the hunger strike, the number of women participating has mushroomed into an estimated 500. Several of the women said that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is pressuring them to eat. ICE officials denied the hunger strike: \u201cCurrently, no one \u2026 was identified as being on a hunger strike or refusing to eat. ICE takes the health, safety, and welfare of those in our care very seriously and we continue to monitor the situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Navy names ship after fallen Latino Marine<\/strong><br \/>\nThe U.S. Navy has christened its newest destroyer battleship the USS Rafael Peralta, in honor of Sgt. Rafael Peralta who was killed in Fallujah, Iraq on Nov. 15 2004. Peralta, who is believed to be the first Mexican-born serviceman to have a warship named for him, was credited for falling on a live grenade to save his fellow soldiers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ranking engineer leaves Twitter because of diversity concerns<\/strong><br \/>\nLeslie Miley, who had been Twitter\u2019s lone black engineer in a leadership position, announced his departure from the company, criticizing the way it handles diversity issues. In a recent blog post Miley recounted that he was told, \u201cDiversity is important, but we won\u2019t lower the bar.\u201d According to its latest diversity report Twitter\u2019s workforce is 13 percent female, 3 percent Latino and 1 percent African American. Miley wrote that Twitter\u2019s diversity problem is due to its reliance on sourcing talent from only a few select places, and that it has caused a \u201ctype of group think to dominate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Police allegedly forging alliance with Facebook<\/strong><br \/>\nNews of an alleged partnership between law enforcement and Facebook surfaced at the Oct. 24-27 International Association of Chiefs of Police conference in Philadelphia. Independent journalist Kenneth Lipp, who attended the conference, reported that a senior officer from the Chicago Police Department revealed that the CPD was working with Facebook\u2019s security chief to block users who post \u201ccriminal content\u201d from the site by account and device. There is concern that this tactic can be deployed to prevent activists from using the social media platform to organize.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>News Briefs: November 5\u201318, 2015<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":28371,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":false,"newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[5957,6885,6883,6887,6881],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-28370","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-department-of-homeland-security-en","tag-facebook","tag-rafael-peralta","tag-twitter-en","tag-uss-rafael-peralta","entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
