ICE Waits for Undocumented Minors to Turn 18, Cuffs Them on Their Birthdays
"When they turn 18, it's basically, 'Happy birthday,' and then they slap on handcuffs and take them off to adult detention centers," one attorney says.

Turning 18 isn't a happy occasion at the Homestead Temporary Shelter for Unaccompanied Children in Miami-Dade County, Florida. In at least 14 cases, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have reportedly waited for undocumented minors at the shelter to turn 18, then almost immediately put them in handcuffs and hauled them off to an adult immigration jail.
"When they turn 18, it's basically, 'Happy birthday,' and then they slap on handcuffs and take them off to adult detention centers," Lisa Lehner, an attorney with the nonprofit legal group Americans for Immigrant Justice, tells the Miami New Times.
Nolbiz Orellana, a native of Honduras, is one of the undocumented immigrants Lehner's organization is representing. He says he fled Honduras in January at the age of 17 after one of his abusive mother's gang associates threatened him with a gun. Orellana crossed the U.S.-Mexico border, asked for asylum, and was placed in the Homestead shelter.
Orellana turned 18 on April 8, then things started to get a whole lot worse. The New Times reports:
That's when Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents showed up at the children's shelter, slapped handcuffs on Orellana's wrists, chained them to his waist, and shackled his legs together. The agents drove Orellana to the Broward Transitional Center, an infamous immigration jail in Pompano Beach, where he was thrown into a cell with men twice his age.
According to Lehner, 13 other undocumented teens at the Homestead center have suffered similar fates. Though an ICE spokesperson in Miami tells the New Times that the agency hasn't done anything wrong, Lehner says this practice is completely illegal.
"It violates specific, federal law and goes against congressional intent as to what is supposed to be happening with these kids," Lehner tells the New York Daily News. "There are two federal statutes that say when a child turns 18, it's the responsibility of ICE to find the least restrictive setting for them to take residence if they are going to be staying in the country. Instead of finding the least restrictive setting, they are putting them in the most restrictive setting."
She's right. In 1997, the federal government reached a settlement in the case of Jenny Flores, an undocumented immigrant from El Salvador. The government agreed to release undocumented minors into the "least restrictive" setting as quickly as possible. The Trump administration tried to modify this settlement in July, but that attempt was rejected by a federal judge in California.
The Flores settlement was codified in 2008 by the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act. In 2013, an amendment to that law extended its protections to undocumented children taken into custody by ICE after they turn 18.
Under the Trump administration, it seems these rules are simply being ignored. The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) says that in the 2014 fiscal year, only one percent of undocumented minors in the agency's care turned 18. In 2017, 2.4 percent "aged out."
In Orellana's case, Lehner says he should have been released to his relatives in Nebraska. Instead, ICE waited until his 18th birthday and threw him in "prison," she tells the Daily News.
Thus far, Americans for Immigrant Justice has filed suits on behalf of seven of the 14 undocumented teens taken into ICE custody as soon as they turned 18. Five off those teens have been released, but according to Lehner, it's not enough.
"We've been successful in filing these petitions and getting ICE to act, but it would be much better if ICE would just stop this process in the first place," she tells the New Times. "The law is crystal clear."

Isn't this standard procedure for any Juvenile in a holding facility? The day you turn 18 they remand you to a normal adult holding facility. Indeed, it's legally required.
Agree, but are they required to place that juvenile in "the least restrictive setting"?
If the law carves out this exception for illegal immigrants, I think there's still an issue.

If any of this is actually true. Reason has destroyed their credibility with articles about illegals. It's all just progtard propaganda now.

Within the last 24 hours Slate and Jezebel along with other sites have run this same story. Pretty messed up since I come to Reason to avoid Liberal Bias. There has been far too much of that recently here at Reason.

Except the juveniles haven't committed a crime. Their parent brought them here, so while their parents may be guilty of seeking asylum, the children are not. The case mentioned above is unusual because the guy sought asylum on his own without his parents.
DiegoF
This is an excellent point. The usual rhetoric (which I tend to be sympathetic to) that "these border crossers are nothing but accused criminals that we are holding" actually works strongly against the practice of transfering children in protective ICE custody into the adult holding system upon emancipation. If these border jumpers really are nothing but a pack of criminals, so much the greater travesty to put these innocent young people into their midst, when they are not even accused of committing any crime!
mad.casual
The case mentioned above is unusual because the guy sought asylum on his own without his parents.
Unusual sounds a bit… exceptional. Common but not the predominant case sounds more accurate. Considering ICE agents find 6 yr. olds stranded in the desert with a lunchbox and a bottle of Coke, I'm not entirely convinced Sessions is wrong when he says 80% of illegal immigrant minors are unaccompanied. Even kicking Sessions in the nuts and taking his opposition's numbers as fact, the %age is still 40-60% rather than < 10-20%.
Except the juveniles haven't committed a crime.
Deportation isn't punishment for a crime, it is simply restoring legal status.
Their parent brought them here, so while their parents may be guilty of seeking asylum, the children are not. The case mentioned above is unusual because the guy sought asylum on his own without his parents.
Nobody is "guilty of seeking asylum"; asylum is a right. However, people from South America usually do not have a right to seek asylum in the US after they have passed through Mexico, since Mexico is a safe country.
Furthermore, parental abuse (as in this case) is not grounds for asylum at all.
According to the open borders crowd, illegals are entitled to anything they want whenever they want it. At our expense, and we are to have no say in anything.
gaoxiaen
Gotta meet those quotas.
17 year old Americans are held in jail not juvenile facilities. These illega aliens are afforded special privilege. I think they should remove all 17 year olds from this children facilities.

The only thing I'm wondering is not whether or not ICE engages in some really ugly practices and is a largely unaccountable federal agency (and we know who tends to like those because, you know, they're "above" politics), but why we suddenly discover how awful they are when they've probably been awful for 20 years. Well, in ICE's case, it looks like fifteen, but I'll not split hairs.
What can we do as a nation to realize that these agencies are awful earlier in the process, or perhaps there's some way… some trick we can use to better predict if they'll be awful before they're created?
some trick we can use to better predict if they'll be awful before they're created?
Well, we could look at their proposed acronyms.
We can assume that any agency that's around long enough will become awful, and require that a life span be identified for any agency created.

Sounds good to me – build the wall, and deport them all.
Have you noticed how The Wall has disappeared from discussion. It happens every time. Yet when refugees/immigrants came flooding into Europe not long ago, multiple European countries built fences at their borders with upstream countries. After minor protests, it was immediately forgotten. Why is it such a big deal for us?

Corrupt Border Officials – kinda of no reason to build a wall when the guy watching it can be bought off. Happens a lot per some illegals I have conversed with in the past.
Don't forget two centuries of being able to freely cross the border without needing papers-please. There are towns in the southern border states where it was common practice for over century to walk across the border every morning to work, the walk back home in the evening. Both directions. Legally.

The horror!
And no amount of walking across any number of borders with or without papers would get a woman a state-funded abortion you patriarchal shitlord!
2.5x as long as California's High Speed Rail, but much more low tech. Sounds like we should be able to build the wall for less than HSR.
I listened to an enterview last spring on Andrew Wilkow's show. he interviewed a couple of engineers from a contractor who was bidding to design and build the wall. It was a multi layered wall that sounded very secure. They claimed the cost would be between $2-3 billion per year over six years to complete the project.

In northern China several years back and we get the obligatory visit to the Great Wall (and it is GREAT!)
The guide's English is really good, and that makes conversation easy since my Mandarin sucks. I point to the wall, saying 'That's a pretty formidable barrier for the time. How did the Mongols get through?'
He shrugged; 'They bribed somebody'.
The agents drove Orellana to the Broward Transitional Center, an infamous immigration jail in Pompano Beach, where he was thrown into a cell with men twice his age.
Yeah, more than half of me wants to say that as long as they aren't his abusive father's gang and threatening him with a gun, he should be thanking the American taxpayers, native and immigrant, for their generosity.
I loathe the blatant move from "We're not in favor of open the borders, that's just crazy talk, we just want families to stay together." to "OK, We really are open borders."
I wonder if the DEA/CIA couldn't employ some of these (former) kids to route the gangs and topple crackpot regimes. Certainly not the least interventionist option but, IMO, not the worst option among many bad ones.
Rhyming is the mark of a thoroughly considered political philosophy.
It's why I supported Jesse in '88. I don't recall him getting a formal endorsement from Dr Seuss, but it certainly seemed like a good bet. Dukakis made a strong case for himself by resembling a Muppet, but in the end this Very Young Democrat's mind was decidedly made up.
I still can't hear someone say "The Question is Moot" without thinking of Jesse.
Ah, that's right! And now I think I remember he actually did read from a real Dr Seuss book on a much later SNL appearance, on Nealon-era Update some years after he had retired from politics.

Amazon bans online sale of plans for the liberator 3-D printed handgun.

Meh, you can download it off the internet, no matter what some low-rent judge claims.
Amazon has been on an anti-gun binge for weeks now. Banning sales of all gun related equipment.
Amazon has been going down hill for months,
They're trying to suck up to the Seattle proggies for fear if they don't they will get "nationalized" by the city council. I wouldn't put it past Seattle at this point. The sooner they can manage to completely move out of that city the better.
Years. At this point for me, it's more like a shopping-list version of del.icio.us than it is an actual online marketplace. It's pretty clear that they've been more about cloud services for a while.
But just gun-related equipment. Just pointing out the hypocrisy of it all. As noted in the article:
Amazon has also long sold a wide range of instruction manuals detailing how to construct improvised weapons. The Anarchist Cookbook is available for sale on the site. The U.S. Army Improvised Munitions Handbook is available for sale. The U.S. Army Special Forces Guide to Unconventional Warfare: Devices and Techniques for Incendiaries is listed for purchase. The U.S. Department of the Army Field Manual on Boobytraps is available on the site as well.
They sent out notices to all of us that sell on Amazon that gun related products will be banned from sale on Amazon.
Not sure about gun related books. I forget the date it goes into effect.
As I have already sold off all the bump stocks that I purchased post Vegas shooting.
Ridiculous but fortunately pretty far down on the list of things to be stressing out about right now in terms of actions of tech and finance oligopolists. Those plans were hardly about to be a Times bestseller; it's a safe bet that the class of people who actually would have purchased them for use on their 3D printer is going to be impeded precisely to no extent by this action. Millions of Americans buy guns every year, on the other hand; and Alex Jones has been teaching tens of millions of people worldwide about the dangers of government-induced frog homosexuality. Internet platforms and financial service companies are now openly declaring themselves to be ideological gatekeepers, and are being cheered for it. It's certainly a good thing that it is happening this rapidly and this blatantly, as it will force anyone wary of putting them in charge of determining society's values to innovate competition and/or fight against government policy that artificially reinforces their oligopoly.
Not really the point I was trying to make.
And while Alex Jones is out of his mind, he's right about the gay frogs.
Was that your piece you wrote for the Free Beacon? You should have said something; I'll admit I didn't click on it because I'd heard of this news already!

The usefulness of vaguely crafted laws has not been lost on Corporate America.
Ironically, I acquired my copy of "Expedient Homemade Firearms" from them years and years ago.
That's the book that provides plans and instructions for how to manufacture a 9mm submachine gun out of parts purchased at Home Depot.
But yeah, I can see why they'd ban a book that's a printout of a computer program.
Expedient Homemade Firearms–now freshly taken off the site, of course. And when the link finally drops off Google's search results, it will make room for the new top result–the pdf of the same book! God bless the Internet.
Probably was the way you'd have wanted to go in the first place, since the previous lowest dead-tree used price on Amazon was $3000. (Check the Google cache while you can!)
Since when is turning 18 a crime?! What the hell is this world coming to?
Oh, they're illegal immigrants–and they're being lawfully deported?
So do we want to change the law, or are we just going to complain about the way ICE does things?
Can you make a case for why we should change the law–as in why it's in the best interests of America and Americans to change the law? I can!
Trying to make people feel so sorry for immigrants that they'll change the law gets us exactly as much change as we have now. If you want the American people to demand change, you have to explain to them why change is in their best interests. Trying to make them feel guilty doesn't work. If it did, Coca Cola and Ford would use it in their advertising.
Our cans of sugar water are so pathetic. For the love of God, please, please have pity and buy one today.
Isn't this supposedly a case of something close to the reverse–where the Executive Branch is defying more dovish statutory language to implement a more hawkish policy that might more closely comport with common-sense sentiment on the street? (I.e., immediately start treating kids like adults on their 18th birthday)
Trying to make people feel so sorry for immigrants that they'll change the law gets us exactly as much… rational change as what got us here.
As I note above, what was before a "We don't want to open the borders, that would just be retarded*, we just want to treat children humanely." has changed into "We want to let foreign nationals in when they turn 18."
*I Reason's defense, they've been consistently full-retard pretty much since the beginning, just maybe a little more vociferous recently.
bevis the lumberjack
The entire point of the article is that there is already a law in place – recently changed to address exactly these cases – for situations like this and ICE is simply ignoring it. Ignoring the law is bad when immigrants do it but good when the federal government does it?
Exsqueezeyou
"Trying to make them feel guilty doesn't work."
Sure it does to a certain extent. Some are more immune. There would be a whole lot less doctors, lawyers and parental visits if it did not.
It's not a crime and they aren't being punished. They are illegally present in the country and they are detained until their status is determined.
In this case, the guy does not have a right to asylum under US or international law, so he will likely be returned to his country of origin.
Ken clearly forgot to read the article.
These illegals can leave anytime they want before they get arrest for violating US Immigration law.
No sympathy here.
buybuydandavis
You don't have to go home but you can't stay here.
I think there have been quite a few incidents in Europe where migrants have barricaded themselves in buildings and such as protests. If it ever comes down to it over here, that would be a fun song to blast at them Noriega-style.

""""after one of his abusive mother's gang associates threatened him with a gun. Orellana crossed the U.S.-Mexico border, asked for asylum, and was placed in the Homestead shelter.""""
What!!!!!! He separated himself from his mommy!!!!!
The monster!!!!!!!!!!
It's okay. He's not Italian.
So, given that he's from Guatemala, how did he manage to make it all the way to the US-Mexican border before finding an opportunity to request asylum? Mexico's party to all the same refugee treaties at the US.
Sure, they're the innovative entrepreneurial labor force of tomorrow but you can't expect these foreign nationals to know and understand the subtle nuances of international immigration and refugee laws. They leave their country knowing only which way is North but after a scant few years on American soil, they're as productive as any native who's spent 12 yrs. coming and going as they please in and out of the public education system.
Yes. Asylum is supposed to be about escaping the immediate danger of political persecution, not any other circumstance that might make life even lethally unpleasant. Thus you're supposed to apply in the first country you arrive in, not move about the world shopping for host countries with the best conditions. Perhaps this is not a sufficiently expansive and nuanced humanitarian principle but it is the one that is unambiguously in effect. Though I think there has certainly been a case made on behalf of the border migrants' present practices, I don't quite recall what it was.
"Orellana crossed the U.S.-Mexico border,…"
That Honduran went a couple of borders too far. Next!
FFS if Orellana won't stay in his own country to fight for his homeland then he sure as fuck cannot be counted on to fight for this one. Couldn't even keep his own mother in line.
What about la familia? The Latinos have such strong families that other family members surely would have given him shelter, no?
Then maybe ICE should let them.
Orellana has suffered from severe headaches since the traumatic experience, Lehner says. As in her other cases, she's demanding that ICE follow the law by releasing him to his relatives in Nebraska while his asylum case works its way through the court system.
she's demanding that ICE follow the law by releasing him to his relatives in Nebraska while his asylum case works its way through the court system.
Why is this taking so long to begin with? He clearly does not have a valid claim for asylum, both because of where he is from and because of his circumstances as described by himself.
chemjeff radical individualist
Why is this taking so long to begin with?
Because you have an incompetent and overworked government apparatus trying to make these determinations.
But let's give these incompetent morons vast amounts of power over everyone to decide who comes and goes. That should work out just swell!
How does he have any legitimate claim to asylum in the US, after passing through Mexico?
The US does not actually have a "first safe country" provision in its implementing laws, nor is there case law to that effect.
So, yeah, under the laws as they exist, he was entitled to ask for asylum when he reached the border crossing, he picked a grounds that hasn't been declared bogus (at least until recently, and I think that's being litigated), and he was plausibly entitled to then be sent to his living-in-the-US relatives.
But let's be clear, that all shows a sophisticated and cynical effort to work the refugee system to become a US resident, not a desperate flight from danger.
Unfortunately if we are to believe the Miami New Times's account here, he has already destroyed his chances with the story he provided to authorities. He is merely the victim of gang violence, not its perpetrator; his lack of criminal activity will disqualify him from student visa sponsorship from both the Nebraska and Miami athletic departments.
"ellana has suffered from severe headaches since the traumatic experience,"
I am happy to donate a bottle of Anacin to help with those headaches. he can tee them in Mexico, or whatever other foreign country he travels to.

Nice to know ICE is doing their job. What's the fucking problem?
They're violating federal law to do their jobs, as the article explains.
And the illegal aliens are violating federal law by being here in the first place.

According the infallible web, the Broward Transitional Center is purposed to hold alleged illegal immigrants classified as "non-criminal and low security detainees."
So the facility can be argued as the "least restrictive setting" if you have the expectation of the "detainee" ever being seen again before the inevitable murder of a young white girl.
Brett Bellmore
As the article asserts, without providing a link to the actual legislation. Here's such a link.
The relevant portion seems to be Section 1261, "APPROPRIATE CUSTODIAL SETTINGS FOR UNACCOMPANIED MINORS WHO REACH THE AGE OF MAJORITY WHILE IN FEDERAL CUSTODY."
"If a minor described in subparagraph (A)
reaches 18 years of age and is transferred to the
custody of the Secretary of Homeland Security, the
Secretary shall consider placement in the least
restrictive setting available after taking into account
the alien's danger to self, danger to the community, and
risk of flight."
"Shall consider"; It does not actually mandate doing this, it just mandates thinking about doing it.
The fucking problem is that ICE is supposed to enforce immigration law. Ignoring the law and enforcing the law are not the same thing. They're, like……opposites of each other.
Holy shit. It's like the tribalists don't even bother to read the fucking articles before commenting on them.
Let's be fair, bevis. Most of us don't read Reason for the articles.
It's the Playboy of Beltway think tank magazines! Except with a steeper decline in readership.
The need to relaunch with a lobster girl issue.
Or start selling punching bags with the editorial staff's faces on them. They'll probably rake in more cash than their last fund raiser. Which one do you think will be the best seller? This new guy Setyon promises to be gold mine.
What's wrong with the new guy in particular? Or is this just the normal HnR hazing? I guess Britschgi is glad that fresh meat has arrived in town. He's not the baby anymore (even if he kind of looks like a baby who is also an old man). Here; it's a funny tweet from an hour ago I just used to find out how to spell his name.
Or auction off tickets to an event where PB, AmSoc, and Tony are fitted with shock collars and attendees all have an opportunity to use a supplied remote control to inflict agonizing electrical shocks on the aforementioned individuals.
Could be quite a money maker.
The majority of articles here are Libertarian hating Lefty propaganda pieces. So there's that.
Now you know, that when the closed border crowd screamed for months and months that all they wanted to do was "enforce the law", they were completely lying. What they really wanted to do was to kick the dirty foreigners out, even if it meant bending the law a little bit.

WE WUZ KIDZ
"You can't enforce the law against them!"
Goddamn. Since you obviously didn't read the article, I'll summarize it for you. ICE is violating the law. The entire point of the fucking article is that ICE is not enforcing the law. The law is not being enforced here, it's being violated. ICEay is iolatingvay ethay uckingfay awlay erehay.
Now, now. Lawyers are claiming ICE is violating the law. But as we know from the commentary around the Kavanaugh nomination, only right-wing lunatics oppose Chevron deference, where executive agencies are allowed to interpret federal law for themselves.
If ICE says this guy is, for example, such a risk of not showing up for his hearings that the least-restrictive place to send him is the detention center, then, hey, that's what the law demands unless some radical right-wing deregulationist lunatic who shouldn't be on the bench says otherwise.
Looks as if the lawyers who are claiming ICE is violating the law are correct. But as we know from the state of American political debate, any fact that doesn't fit the pre-conceived narrative of one side or the other is conveniently ignored.
"Looks as if the lawyers who are claiming ICE is violating the law are correct"
That doesn't appear to have been decided yet, so no.
My comment above didn't take my quote from the article:
"Thus far, Americans for Immigrant Justice has filed suits on behalf of seven of the 14 undocumented teens taken into ICE custody as soon as they turned 18. Five off those teens have been released"
The lawyers who are making the "claim" are batting at least .714, maybe better if the cases of the remaining 2 simply haven't reached a decision yet. So, yeah, looks like they're making a valid claim here.
Benitacanova
Hell they charge 12 year olds as adults these days. 'Kid' is so relative (no pun intended).
Since you obviously didn't bother looking up the actual law, let me quote it for you:
""If a minor described in subparagraph (A) reaches 18 years of age and is transferred to the custody of the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Secretary shall consider placement in the least restrictive setting available after taking into account the alien's danger to self, danger to the community, and risk of flight.""
So, no, they're not violating the law.
As a general principle, when somebody writes an essay like this, and while providing links to all sorts of things, never links to the law in question, or quotes its actual text, you should suspect they're misrepresenting it.
You don't live on the same fucking planet as us normal people.
Tony, if being a marxist homosexual pederast sociopathic subnormal idiot is normal, then I would rather be different.

Where are you going to find a 30 year old to bang as an 18 year old in prison?
How could an 18 year old prison inmate (especially, in this hypothetical, an 18 year old who is not at all a dirty useless violent or thieving lowlife but simply imprisoned as a matter of course) ever find an over-30 year old on the outside who wants to bang? Surely you jest.

{Throws up hands} Jesus Christ proggies! Mexicans are obviously violating the wrong laws? that is, looking for work across an arbitrarily defined int'l border drawn to satiate the geopolitical desires of people who wanted America to extend from the halls of Buenos Aires to the shores of the Arctic Ocean. Get it straight.
Now if said Mexicans were trying to Cheat on their taxes, acquire a cache of bazookas or?fuck? violate campaign finance laws you'd have a point, but crossing the Rio Grande in search of a better life? That's not allowed! THE LAW IS THE LAW, ASSHOLES!

Just to nitpick, because the coffee is still brewing; using rivers as international borders has always been acceptable, not arbitrary at all. And it was drawn so that the USA would only get part of the country that lost the war, not the whole thing.

"He says he fled Honduras in January at the age of 17 after one of his abusive mother's gang associates threatened him with a gun."
So if someone threatened me with a gun, I could emigrate to the country of my choice with no hassle?
Anyone out there have a gun and is willing to make a threat?
That is actually an interesting point that hadn't occurred to me. Why didn't he flee to elsewhere in Honduras? There may be good reason but it isn't explained here. If my mom (actually a wonderful woman who did not date at all) was dating some lowlife thug who was making my home life miserable while he was there, I wouldn't generally have to leave the country; I'd just leave his immediate presence. I'd have to be far more mixed up in business than just being some thug's girlfriend's kid for, say, the entire gang to be mobilized against me across its nationwide territory–for life in my country, no matter where I move, to be any more hazardous for me than for anyone else out there. The "threatened by a gang associate" thing seems to be of far less significance than it may be trying to suggest.
God bless this brave kid; domestic abuse is real hell; but I don't imagine that being a 17 year old runaway is normally grounds for international asylum.
In 2013, an amendment to that law extended its protections to undocumented children taken into custody by ICE after they turn 18
Seriously, what is an undocumented adult child?
It is a genuine syntactic ambiguity but the reading is the more "strained" one. Bad writing.
an amendment to that law extended its protections to [undocumented children taken into custody by ICE] after they turn 18
an amendment to that law extended its protections to [undocumented children [taken into custody by ICE after they turn 18]]
In other words, the individuals both arrived, and were taken into custody, before they turned 18. Whereas before the Flores ruling only mandated that children in ICE custody be kept in the "least restrictive setting" conditions, the amendment changed it so that anyone taken into custody as a child would continue to enjoy the "least restrictive setting" conditions for as long as they are in custody, including after they turn 18. (Note that you might describe this, in standard English, as "Children taken into ICE custody must be kept in the least restrictive setting, even after they turn 18," without such a thing implying that someone over 18 may be a child.)
A potential justification for such an amendment's reasoning might be that at no time had they ever committed the act of crossing the border, nor that of remaining in the country illegally, as adults with the full choice and responsibility over such actions. But in any case I've discussed what was meant by the language used in the piece.
Actually, I looked up the text of the law. It says that they "shall consider" the least restrictive setting, There's no "must" about it. In fact, it actually mandates consideration of factors such as flight risk in making the decision.
Incidentally, I found an article in a newspaper in L?on, Mexico, about the poor guy who was arrested when taking his pregnant wife to the hospital.
I'm afraid I used Google Translate. Have fun!
"The case in which Joel Arrona Lara would be claimed is a consummated homicide on March 21, 2006, in L?on, when Miguel ?ngel Morales Rodriguez, victim of a beating, died of head trauma while receiving medical attention….
"At the beginning of December 2014, the Attorney General's Office completed an arrest warrant against Julio C?sar Arrona Lara, alias Chikis, for the crime of homicide and was brought before a criminal judge.
"The criminal proceeding opened in 2006 against several involved, is aired with file number 53/2006.
"If Joel Arrona Lara of the United States were extradited, after being detained by the immigration authorities, and being formally declared a prisoner for that crime, he would be prosecuted for the crime of homicide, an illegal act that the law then punished with 10 20 years in prison."
Gee what a surprise. Turns out the people screaming "we just want to enforce the immigration laws!" are willing to look the other way when it's ICE that is violating the immigration laws.
The hysteria about illegal immigration was never truly about concern for the rule of law. It was, and remains, a panic about cultural change. And if ICE has to break a few eggs in order to stop the cultural change from 'destroying' America, then it's all worth it. Amirite?
There you go, stupidly lazily collectivizing your opponents again because you don't have thd intellectual heft to do otherwise.
It shows that you know your case is weak so you pound on the table.
What a surprise: Turns out the people screaming "ICE is violating the immigration laws!" haven't bothered reading them. I suggest you go do so.
And, all we ever hear from the closed border crowd is whining and moaning and bitching about the "damn illegals". Their proposed solutions consist of little more than bumper-sticker slogans of "build the wall" and "enforce the laws". Very few have actually proposed something even a little bit tangible. Fine, you want the wall built. Let's just assume for the moment that there are no eminent domain issues nor environmental lawsuits. The wall would have to be staffed and patrolled. How much is this supposed to cost? What would you do for immigrants caught at the wall but who then claim asylum? Clearly there are some who are not serious and just trying to manipulate the system, but there are also some who are not. How are their claims to be adjudicated? If the answer is "deny them all right away and send them back home", then this is in essence a violation of a few international treaties on the subject. Do you want to rip those up? What exactly should refugee/asylum law be in this country? Furthermore, it is already illegal to hire undocumented immigrants. How many more resources are you willing to devote to the government for inspecting employers to make sure they are following the law? Would you be in favor of a national ID card? And with all of these new cops running around hunting for illegals, what is to stop them from just outright profiling brown people, a la Joe Arpaio? Maybe for a change the closed border crowd can propose something tangible.
"And, all we ever hear from the closed border crowd is whining and moaning and bitching about the "damn illegals". "
And all we hear from you is you bitching about "them", your invented opponent.
God damn are you fucking lazy.
Yup there we go, more bitching and complaining.
I did not think you had any answers to the above questions.
Why do illegals want to come to such a racist nation again?
Umm, good?
LinoleumBlownApart
As the left has told us, America sucks and was never great (especially to minorities), so Honduras by default becomes the "least restrictive setting".
BruceMajors
Bur if they arrested them or deported them when they were 17 you'd say they were being separated from their mothers.
Why sound so ominous? Isn't it normal to remove 18 year old ADULTS out of CHILDREN facilities? 17 years old American citizens are not housed in juvenile facilities, they go directly to jail. Why are 17 year old illegal aliens housed with children instead of incarerated in an adult facitily?
EverydayJohn
ICE has one job……eliminate Sanctuary for those undocumented criminals that have broken U.S. Laws by entering the U.S. lands without U.S. Approvals.
DACA enrolled children have no fear unless they commit another crime. Those not enrolled in DACA are not WELCOME in USA
Good show. This article is like the Reason magazine I grew up with!
Uhhh, so what? Pretty sure 18 year olds are with adults in all other detention situations.
I'm sick and tired of hearing this whining about shit. If this kid really felt the need to get away from his mommy, there is a MASSIVE country that already speaks Spanish between there and here… And is the one he's LEGALLY obliged to apply for asylum with. The whole world is filled with hard luck cases, we can't let them all in. The fact that he wanted to come here because he knew he'd make more money than in Mexico does not sway my emotions. Ship him back!

Pakistan Rejects Links to Uranium-Contaminated Cargo Seized at London Airport
Pakistan's government has rejected British media reports that a uranium-contaminated cargo shipment seized at London's Heathrow Airport originated from the South Asian nation.
"No information to this effect has been shared with us officially. We are confident that the reports are not factual," Pakistani Foreign Ministry spokeswomen Mumtaz Zahra Baloch told VOA on Thursday.
British police said in a statement earlier this week they had detected "a very small amount of contaminated material after routine screening within a package incoming to the UK" on December 29.
Police have reported no arrests in connection with the incident.
British tabloid The Sun, which first reported the incident, said the shipment was destined for Iranian nationals in the United Kingdom, originated from Pakistan and arrived on a flight from Oman.
Richard Smith, head of London police's Counter Terrorism Command, noted on Wednesday that the amount of radioactive substance was extremely small and posed no threat to public health or public safety.
Smith added that further inquiries into the incident were underway.
"We will, of course, follow every avenue to see what the background of this was and satisfy ourselves that there's no further threat," he said.
Low-enriched uranium can be used to fuel civilian power generation plants. Its highly enriched form is a key ingredient in nuclear weapons.
Pakistan is a declared nuclear weapons state and runs several China-built civilian nuclear power generation plants.
Islamabad maintains it has developed a "robust" security and safety system for its nuclear development programs.
Syed Muhammad Ali, a Pakistani author of several books and research publications on nuclear issues, described as "very irresponsible" media outlets for naming Pakistan without independent and technical investigations.
"It is technically not possible to verify the origin of any radioactive material unless the investigators already have samples of that material from the same source, which is obviously not the case or possible for any UK department to have record or access to the samples of radioactive sources of the countries, which are being alleged as involved," Ali said.
He noted that the IAEA is the only institution with the technical capacity and mandate to independently verify such incidents.

This Naturally is just Jiang Chen casually saying the severe sentence pleasantries.
This Ku Zhu Old Ancestor, but did not forget the words of Jiang Chen just before.
"Helping you break through Middle Celestial? Impact Great Celestial?" Asked Jiang Chen faint smile.
Ancient Nuo King was shocked by cold sweat.
He took the position from Ku Zhu Old Ancestor and even asked Ku Zhu Old Ancestor to personally support the transfer scepter. He had to say that Ancient Nuo King thought it was a little embarrassed.
However, as Jiang Chen said, the winner is the king, the loser is the villain, which is the truth.
Bitter Barbarian Race An unexpected battle and smoke did not break out. In cooperation with Jiang Chen and Ancient Nuo King collaborate from outside with the inside, the Bitter Barbarian Race was successfully solved.
Now that Ancient Nuo King is in power, he will go back to the Bitter Barbarian Race and must be cleaning it again and again, cleaning the Flowerback Tribe.
Then will stand around and let everyone in the Bitter Barbarian Race know that the current Bitter Barbarian Race is decided by his Ancient Nuo King!
It is Ku Zhu Old Ancestor, who is limited by Jiang Chen's Divine Consciousness. has a whole life and also has a new pattern.
Jiang Chen is now, just in the moment of employing people, just think that this Ku Zhu Old Ancestor is killed, is it not the waste of huge?
At the beginning, just said that wouldn't agree with Ku Zhu Old Ancestor.
Indeed, as he thought, Ku Zhu Old Ancestor not only refused to agree at the beginning, but also made a 180-degree turn and agreed with Jiang Chen's proposal.
Like Ku Zhu Old Ancestor, Jiang Chen will not leave him in the Young Master's Manor, but settle him in the Colored Glass Imperial City, opening up an individual institute, calm Ku Zhu Old Ancestor.
This is actually a kind of house arrest, but it is also an arrangement.
Like the gold medalist Ku Zhu Old Ancestor in the Colored Glass Imperial City, why bother worrying about the hidden dangers of Human Race?
Ku Zhu Old Ancestor, did not complain about anything. He is now very clear that his own status, the prisoner of Jiang Chen, is the servant of Jiang Chen.
Everything in the past has not had much big relations with him. With the support of Jiang Chen, the Ancient Nuo King will also be able to control the Bitter Barbarian Race, and will not have to worry about it.
The trouble of Bitter Barbarian Race, Jiang Chen is the unsound smooth.
However, Jiang Chen's mood has not been relaxed. He knows that this Human Territory has a lot of World Monument Borders.
On the northwest side, it's just one of them.
In other places, there is also the World Monument Border. Only on the side of South Li Battle Clan, was repaired by Jiang Chen. Just how strong the repair is, Jiang Chen is not clear.
On this day, Jiang Chen meditated and suddenly thought about it.
Jiang Chen can also feel that Human Territory is growing up again and again in the test.
Now, all the major sect's people have left the Colored Glass Imperial City and returned to their own sites.
In succession, good news is constantly coming out.
Great Emperor Wushuang and Jing Zhong Great Emperor, both of them understand the law of heaven and earth, refining Celestial Edict Symbol, and bought the Celestial.
Colored Glass Imperial City, there were two Celestials at once.
Not long after, Huaishan Two Jiao refining the Celestial Edict Symbol, and both stepped into the Celestial.
At the same time, Coiling Dragon Great Emperor refining the Great Emperor Realm Bone Relics, the cultivation base also entered the Great Emperor Realm peak, leaving the Celestial, leaving only last step.
Naturally, Coiling Dragon Great Emperor has just broken through, saying that Celestial is still a bit far away. However, this news is also very exciting for the Colored Glass Imperial City.
In addition, the great progress is Long Xiaoxuan and Little Bai.
This True Dragon and Sage White Tiger family is the bloodline of the ancient Four Divine Beast. This Long Xiaoxuan's cultivation base, even faster than Jiang Chen, soon realized the Great Emperor Realm.
The Sage White Tiger started from the beginning of the puppies, continual progress, cultivation base is also close to the Great Emperor Realm.
This True Dragon Clan, Sage White Tiger, seems to have faintly launched a fierce struggle between two evenly matched opponents.
However, Sage White Tiger started slower, so he and Long Xiaoxuan are, after all, inferior inferior conditions.
Seeing the people around me, the cultivation base is constantly improving, Jiang Chen is also very satisfied.
The current Human Territory does indeed enter a blowout phase. Previous one time, Jiang Chen selected some of the Martial Dao ancient book in Shu Wanqing storage ring and distributed it to each major sect.
Especially for some two third rank sects, Jiang Chen did not hesitate, but also rewarded the Martial Dao ancient book, expressing their firm reward for this position.
Jiang Chen can foreseeing that these Martial Dao ancient books will be sent down. After 20 years, the Human Territory will have many forces that are comparable to the original first rank sect.
The first rank sect, either bigger or stronger, is likely to be eliminated.
This grand occasion is what Jiang Chen is willing to see.
From the beginning to the end, Jiang Chen still regarded Demon Race as scourge.
So, for any Demon Race, he doesn't want to let go. Especially the Xue Kui Demon Emperor is obviously very fearful opponent.
After sending Huaishan Two Jiao, Jiang Chen planned to retreat again.
This time retreat, his goal is very clear, is a bang, rushed through Emperor Realm, promoted Great Emperor Realm. He waited for this moment and has been waiting for too long.
He still remembers that Huang'er had told him that had not reached the Great Emperor Realm and could not go to Myriad Abyss Island. Can't even find her!
Obviously, from the perspective of Huang'er, in Myriad Abyss Island, if the Great Emperor Realm is not, it will be very dangerous.
Jiang Chen innermost feelings is very determined. He has never been more eager to break through the Great Emperor Realm. Now, Human Territory's size business has gradually returned to the correct track.
"For the Human Race, I have been thinking about it for years, and I should consider it for myself. Think about it for Huang'er." I thought I would live here every day, and Huang'er was in Myriad Abyss Island, but every time. One day is suffering from the endless.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen is full of power.
For Jiang Chen, breaking through the Great Emperor Realm is actually not a substantive challenge. With Jiang Chen's air transportation, Jiang Chen's understanding, Jiang Jin's foundation, and the district's Great Emperor Realm, it is not a hurdle at all.
After nine months, Jiang Chen successfully cleared the customs.
This time, Jiang Chen took a full harvest. Not only broke through the Great Emperor Realm, but also made Jiang Chen on the Martial Dao realm, and stood up with a new stair.
Great Emperor Realm, finally Young Master Jiang Chen, can be justified with the title, Jiang Chen Great Emperor!
Every step has now is a redemption of the fate of the previous generation yin constitution. Every breakthrough made Jiang Chen feel excited.
Breaking through the Great Emperor Realm also made Jiang Chen rise in the volatile aspects.
The space of the Nine Palaces Soulcharming Diagram, Jiang Chen has clearly mastered some. In the hands of Jiang Chen, Soulcharming Puppet Idol can also manipulate the four statues at once.
Seven Soulcharming Puppet Idol, you can manipulate the four statues at once, if in the actual combat, the smart people know, what is the superiority of the huge?
In addition, Jiang Chen spent more time, that is, Sacred Dragon Bow.
Jiang Chen uses Divine Consciousness to seeing Sacred Dragon Bow every day. feels the wild ancient aura of Sacred Dragon Bow. is also deeply impressed. This is a good bow, and he is cheap.
In addition, all the equipment of Jiang Chen, all martial arts, Jiang Chen have received a huge upgrade.
Huaishan Two Jiao tracked the Xue Kui Demon Emperor, and it was successful. Two Great Celestial crackdowns on Xue Kui Demon Emperor, which Xue Kui Demon Emperor never imagined.
The Xue Kui Demon Emperor was also injured after the last Collapsing Clouds Mountain. After all, Lushan two are Celestial powerhouses, two chasing one, and the battle is still very fierce.
Fortunately, after Huaishan Two Jiao broke through Celestial, the obvious strength was much stronger than the Great Emperor Realm.
Therefore, the pursuit of Xue Kui Demon Emperor, although paid a small price, also successfully killed Xue Kui Demon Emperor, clearing such a heart for Jiang Chen.
What makes Jiang Chen quite depressed is that the old man who screamed outside the Peacock Sacred Mountain from the previous time seems to have disappeared.
Putting down the ruthless words, it seems that they are not going to cash out at all.
Jiang Chen has already laid out the game, waiting for the hidden leader of the Human Race to appear. Unfortunately, the old man seems to have smelled something wrong, and never shows up again.
He does not show up. As a hidden danger, Jiang Chen is even more uneasy.
Jiang Chen's move is tantamount to taking the initiative.
Perhaps, to deal with these hidden powers, there may be little use.


The Benton Foundation's Digital Inclusion and Meaningful Broadband Adoption Initiatives by Colin Rhinesmith, Ph.D.
This report presents findings from a national study of digital inclusion organizations that help low-income individuals and families adopt high-speed Internet service. The study looked at eight digital inclusion organizations across the United States that are working at the important intersection between making high speed Internet available and strengthening digital skills—two essential and interrelated components of digital inclusion, which is focused on increasing digital access, skills, and relevant content.
1 Providing low-cost broadband: Cost continues to be a major barrier to broadband adoption. Successful interventions will need to address "ability to pay" rather than "willingness to pay." While all low-income individuals and families who participated in this study understood the value of broadband connectivity, most explained that cost remained the most significant barrier to adoption. Successful digital inclusion efforts should recognize the role that persistent poverty plays in shaping people's abilities to access and use computers and the Internet. The findings suggest that more research is needed to understand budgeting issues and other concerns related to people's experiences living in poverty.
2 Connecting digital literacy training with relevant content and services: Many digital inclusion organizations have developed innovative digital literacy training strategies to assist those who do not feel the Internet is relevant to them as well as those who already understand the importance of the Internet to their everyday lives. Many organizations also provide mobile digital literacy training in which they go outside their physical walls to reach people in places that are convenient to them.
3 Making low-cost computers available: Low-cost or free computers are often just as important as having access to low-cost or free Internet options, particularly for people in low-income communities. Digital inclusion organizations have embraced this reality by refurbishing older computers and making them available to low-income people for free or at a reduced cost. Some digital inclusion organizations also provide ongoing technical support to residents who need the social and technical assistance to keep their computers up and running—and connected online—over time.
4 Operating public access computing centers: Many digital inclusion organizations also maintain public access computing facilities that allow residents to access technology in places in which they feel comfortable and supported. These spaces also complement the digital literacy classes that are often offered in the same location. Low-income individuals and families value public access computing centers because they are often in convenient locations and have helpful staff that provide them with one-on-one support with computers and broadband Internet access.
• The importance of citywide and regional initiatives: All of the organizations identified the importance of citywide and regional digital inclusion initiatives and indicated the strength in coming together with other community partners and collaborators to support digital inclusion activities and share best practices. However, funding remains an issue to support these broader digital inclusion coalitions.
• Concerns about program sustainability: No one or mix of commercial providers delivers the full suite of access, computing, and training that non-adopters need to take advantage of the content and services broadband has to offer. Moreover, most organizations that participated in this study expressed a concern that funding for organizations is limited. More funding and support are needed for all organizations in this study that are connecting low-income residents to low-cost Internet, digital literacy training, low-cost computers, and public access computing.
• The need for outcomes-based evaluation: Most of the digital inclusion organizations that participated in this study did not have outcomes-based evaluation frameworks. However, all recognized the importance of having them. One of the surprising findings from the study was the need for outcomes-based evaluation frameworks at both the organizational and citywide/regional levels. This remains a need in many of the organizations studied.
• Digital inclusion and broader policy goals: This report also joins other researchers who have argued that digital inclusion needs to be connected to broader policy issues in order to show the impacts of digital inclusion and meaningful broadband adoption initiatives.
Posted in Broadband Adoption, Foundations/ThinktanksLeave a Comment on The Benton Foundation's Digital Inclusion and Meaningful Broadband Adoption Initiatives by Colin Rhinesmith, Ph.D.
The Institute of Museum and Library Services, the University of Washington Information School, and the International City/County Management Association have developed a comprehensive framework to help libraries identify, evaluate, and improve services regarding digital inclusion and digital literacy. More and more individuals without computer access at home are turning to libraries as a conduit to access the Internet.
The document, "Building Digitally Inclusive Communities," is the product of over 100 organizations' comments and ideas. The document highlights five important principles: Availability and affordability, public access, accessibility for people with disabilities, adoption and digital literacy, and consumer education and protection.
The document provides high-level guidance to furthering the digital inclusion discussion in local communities and directs readers to additional helpful resources.

Malaga manager Manuel Pellegrini has turned down the chance to replace Carlo Ancelotti at Chelsea according to his agent Jesus Martinez. The Chilean coach was approached by intermediaries working for Blues' owner Roman Abramovich to replace the Italian. Pellegrini was dismissed as Real Madrid boss last year after failing to win any silverware but did secure more points than Jose Mourinho managed this season. Speculation has been rife as to who will take over at the Bridge with Guus Hiddink, Marco van Basten and Pep Guardiola all linked with the vacancy. But Martinez has claimed Pellegrini was offered the job but turned it down because he is happy at Malaga.

Q: C++ #include not working I'm trying to include a function like this in C++ and I can't understand why it's not working. I have 3 files.
test.cc
int test() {
  std::cout << "This is a test" << std::endl;
}

test.h
int test();

main.cc
#include "test.h"

int main() {

    test();
    return 0;
}

This is the error I got and the command I used.
c++ main.cc -o main
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
  "test()", referenced from:
      _main in main-12ba52.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

A: Here's the culprit.

c++ main.cc -o main

You need to link test.o.

c++ main.cc test.cc -o main

A: Assuming you are using your compiler properly, try to include "test.h" on the top of your test.cc file:
#include "test.h"

int test() {
   std::cout << "This is a test" << std::endl;
}

Compile with:
g++ main.cc test.cc -o main

A: You should add the following to test.cc:
#include "test.h"
#include <iostream>

And make sure you're building/linking with test.cc

A: The definition of function test has undefined behaviour because it does not return a value though it has return type int
int test() {
  std::cout << "This is a test" << std::endl;
}

As you did not report what is the error I think that the problem is that you did not include in the project file test.cc. You have to link it along with file main.cc that the linker would be able to find the definition of test.

5 Steps to Prep for an OCR Audit
As featured on Healthcare IT News
By Benjamin Harris
This is going to be a big year on many health IT fronts: ICD-10, meaningful use, BYOD polices, the list goes on. It is also going to be the year where the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) plans to step up their compliance audits of hospitals in a crackdown on personal healthcare information (PHI) breaches.
"They're going into 2013 with a lot more vigor right now," says Lee Barrett, executive director of the Electronic Healthcare Network Accreditation Commission (EHNAC), about OCR's approach to PHI audits. "Basically they're putting the industry on notice."
Barrett spoke to Healthcare IT News about some important factors to consider as hospitals move in to the new year, keeping an eye to a possible audit and better data handling and security overall.
1. Assure compliance with HIPAA/HITECH provisions of security, privacy and confidentiality of PHI. Every hospital necessarily is a big place when it comes to PHI. Sensitive information that is critical to a patient's outcome and to the hospital's reimbursement travels through many hands during treatment. There are standards in place that an organization can adhere to to protect this information- HIPAA and HITECH most notably. Still, keeping track of the information, making it accessible to the right people at the right time while protecting it from breach, loss or theft can amount to a full job. "It's important for organizations to look across the entire infrastructure, creating what I would call a security framework for PHI," says Barrett, who stresses the need to take a holistic view of information transfer. "Look at it from the standpoint from how information is flowing from al stakeholders and points," he says. With increased audits on their way, Barrett says the need for accountability and having someone to oversee compliance is a sound investment. "Somebody needs to have responsibility," he says. "You need a PHI safety officer to make sure [you] meet compliance. … Organizations need to be positioned to be able to address an audit."
2. Conduct risk assessments, implement strategies. There are risks and snags lurking everywhere in a hospital's communications structure. From how data is stored to how it makes its way from device to device, there is plenty of room for error, an overlooked weak point, or hole in the system's armor. "Organizations need to understand their risk structure," says Barrett. He talks about identifying any and all potential weak spots, and then tackling the respective security of each one. "Is the PHI available in databases? If so, which things are? Is there high risk data on workstations and laptops? Which ones?"
Any number of factors, if overlooked, can lead to a loss of PHI. "Look at things like facility access controls, workstation use and security, device and media controls," says Barrett. With portable devices such as laptops, tablets, and flash drives, he says to look at "How is hardware removed and how is it audited?" Barrett notes that even after these gaps are plugged, vigilance is required: what happens when a new IT system is acquired, or if a separate branch merges with the organization? Additionally, healthcare organizations contract with many outside groups, and Barrett says part of a good security policy looks closely at those interactions. "Ensure that all data is encrypted and transferred over secure communications lines," he says.
3. Be ready. No matter how much bolstering and toughening up a security protocol gets, that can't guarantee that it will pass OCR's muster. With 2012 being a bully year for the Office's audit program and 2013 looking to step up that number, Barrett says it's a sound investment to devote resources to being prepared for an audit. "Go through your risk assessments now, go through policies and procedures and if necessary and you feel it's appropriate, have a third party review your infrastructure," says Barrett. "Organizations that are prepared were able to pass the OCR audit." He adds that the costs of a third party audit can be high, but that it may be money well spent when the alternative of a failed audit, or worse an actual breach, can toll a healthcare organization even more. "Organizations that have breaches, the PR disaster was greater than the resulting fine," he says.
4. Know your neighbors. In many respects, a hospital is only as secure as the companies it works with are. PHI is PHI, and it doesn't matter who has it- if it is insecure it reflects poorly on the organization that collected it in the first place. Barrett says that to guarantee PHI safety and fare better in an audit, organizations should look to partner with organizations that have undergone a third party review of their own. "They can demonstrate that the meet the bar and can meet the appropriate controls," he says. Barrett lists some requirements that should form a baseline in what an organization would want to see in a potential partner: they "must refrain from selling or otherwise using PHI in such a way as to violate privacy… must utilize strong encryption, user authentication, message integrity, and support for nonrepudiation as security measures…" He also says that organizations should be able to show that their house is in order, protected against malicious software and people taking PHI with them on things like flash drives.
5. Know yourself. Demanding high standards of third parties means that the organization doing the demanding needs to meet those same requirements. Barrett says that organizations should undertake an internal review or a third party assessment regularly, to identify possible shortcomings and to develop best practices for moving forward. Barrett says that engaging a third party to provide an objective review can have some serious gains beyond just passing an OCR audit. "Organizations that have expertise, references, [and are] nationally recognized provide the credibility that customers and other interested parties and stakeholders" like to see, he says. He points out the values and resources that a third party can bring to a review as well, noting that they often "have the knowledge and expertise to identify gaps and recommend appropriate remediation actions … because they are aware of the best industry practices and have conducted similar reviews with many other healthcare stakeholders." Barrett notes that there are a lot of these third party organizations, and that with a little "homework and research," one that is nationally recognized and has a cost structure that is workable can be found.

Truist executives adopt slower-but-steady approach to integration, branch conversions
Richard Craver
Truist Financial Corp. is based in Charlotte, with Winston-Salem operating the community/retail banking hub.

The combining of BB&T Corp. and SunTrust Banks Inc. into the nation's sixth largest bank is a formidable challenge, even with the technological advances that make integration less arduous.
The depth of that reality has convinced Kelly King, chairman and chief executive of Truist Financial Corp., that slow and steady through the end of 2022 is the right approach even if investors prefer sooner than later.
It is projected to be the largest bank integration since Wells Fargo & Co. acquired Wachovia Corp. in December 2008, which involved $1.4 trillion in total assets.
The deliberate approach from King and Truist was on display in Thursday's fourth-quarter analyst call — the bank's first since BB&T completed Dec. 6 its $30.4 billion purchase of SunTrust.
The banks said when the megadeal was announced Feb. 7, that they expected $1.6 billion in annual cost savings, primarily coming from eliminating duplication, including potentially as many as 740 overlapping branches.
At that time, the banks projected achieving between 40% and 50% of the cost savings, or between $640 million and $800 million by the end of 2020.
On Thursday, Truist told analysts and investors that instead, it was targeting 30% in cost savings, or $480 million, by the end of 2020. The goals are 65%, or $1.04 billion, by the end of 2021, while still achieving $1.6 billion by the end of 2022.
Investors didn't view the reduced projections favorably, sending the share price down as much as 8.3% Thursday before it closed off 3.2%, or by $1.72 to $52.14.
King's justification for the slower pace: improving client service quality, ensuring strong client retention, and improving Truist's long-term value proposition.
"This is about really the digital investments that we're going to be making," King said. "We want to get some of those made before we actually roll out the conversion, and so the branch conversions are delayed some."
Janney Montgomery Scott analyst Chris Marinac said Truist's decision to slow down its branch conversion could be beneficial to its short term.
"This may be less disruptive and perhaps make it more difficult for competitors to get business from Truist," Marinac said.
"Truist wants to test systems plans heavily before completing its conversion. We respect the company's intention to be slow and deliberate on this process.
"Investors must remain patient on the stock which may be in a trading range while another one to two quarters of earnings visibility come into focus," Marinac said.
King cited as an example Truist's commitment to "picking the best of the (infrastructure) systems" rather than just converting SunTrust's operations to BB&T's.
"We picked a number of SunTrust systems, which are really, really good as surviving Truist systems," King said.
"But when you pick the SunTrust system and you put it on the BB&T equipment, you have equipment changes and you have the programming to move that SunTrust program over to the BB&T systems. That's really what's driving the time a bit longer than we thought."
King said Truist is "very, very confident on our net $1.6 billion in savings."
"So, this should not be viewed as a negative. This is a positive. It's the same number. We've simply taken just a little bit longer to make sure we do it and do it right."
'Committed to doing it right'
The banks have said it could take 12 to 24 months after closing to integrate the operating systems, including branch networks.
Truist has a presence in 17 states, stretching from Pennsylvania and New Jersey to Texas, but foremost in the Southeast.
The banks agreed to federal regulators' request to not close any branches in states where they overlap for at least 12 months after completing the megadeal.
On Thursday, Truist indicated branch conversions would begin in earnest in August 2021 in those markets, such as the Carolinas, Florida and Georgia.
Given the likelihood Truist will convert those markets last, it could mean late 2021 or early 2022 before Truist signage debuts.
Meanwhile, the eight states where there is limited or no market overlap — Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas — branch conversions could occur sooner.
"That may seem like a long time, but we're committed to doing it right," King said.
"We have about 3,000 programs that have to be dealt with 100 ecosystems, so there are a lot of them. But it's like any other bank, the primary (integrations are) loans and deposits."
The bank also plans to integrate its wealth management, trust and brokerage services by June 30, 2021.
Retaining talent and clients
Analysts estimated that bank deals are vulnerable to between 5% and 15% customer run-off from those not wanting to be part of a larger bank or not a fan of the acquiring bank.
King sought to reassure analysts, investors and its more than 56,000 employees that "we have successfully retained our talent and our clients. So, any concern about any mass exits on that is not warranted."
Part of the reason for the successful employee retention to date comes from providing a $1,500 bonus to more than 48,000 employees.
Another part is the town hall meetings that King and William Rogers, Truist's president and former SunTrust chairman and chief executive, are conducting in its 39 regional markets. The executives had completed 11 of the events as of Thursday.
When King was asked about where Truist is along the integration path, he said "in all honesty the heaviest lifting is done" because of limited cultural clashes between the banks' work forces.
That success, King said, will help make the branch and deposit conversions smoother.
One of the outstanding questions when the megadeal was completed is Truist's plans for overlapping infrastructure, whether inside a market or companywide.
It's a particular important issue in Winston-Salem and the Triad given how widespread BB&T's operations are situated.
"While we got a lot of branches to-date (that) won't close this year, we're working very aggressively in all the major markets in the mid-Atlantic and Southeast to really focus and consolidate our buildings in all the metropolitan areas," said Daryl Bible, Truist's chief financial officer.
"That should come online middle to end of 2020. So we feel very good that we're going to get the cost savings in 2020 and in the next three years."
Digital-first approach
In the past two years, BB&T embraced a digital-first approach to plugging in artificial intelligence and robotics into its back-office, customer-service and compliance operations.
Initially called "Disrupt or die," the bank recently softened the phrase to "Disrupt and thrive" as it launched the latest phases.
Since the end of 2016, BB&T's "disrupt or die/disrupt to thrive" initiative has led to reductions in employees (down 2,487, or 6.7%, to 34,723) and branches (down 407, or 18.5%, to 1,789).
The banks said they have 740 branches within two miles of each other within their markets.
A total of 30 SunTrust branches — including nine in the Winston-Salem metropolitan statistical area — and their combined $2.3 billion in deposits have been divested to First Horizon National Corp. as part of an anti-trust agreement with the U.S. Justice Department. First Horizon plans to acquire the branches by April.
"There will be cost saves in the branches even before the branches actually are closed," King said. "There are still a lot of backroom areas that are not related to the branches that we have overlapping staffing. We didn't deal with all of that Day One.
"As time goes on, we will have additional overlapping redundancy in staffing that we will be reducing."
The Carolinas and Georgia will convert last, in part because they're the largest, most complex and most intertwined of the two banks' territories, said Tony Plath, a retired finance professor at UNC Charlotte.
"But it's also because that's where sensitivity, and potential backlash, toward the merger runs highest," Plath said.
"So, you give everyone in the home markets a little time to settle down, take a breath, drain the emotion out of the merger, and then you consolidate operations," Plath said.

Josefa Karolina Maria Anna Františka Saturnina Podstatzká-Lichtensteinová, rozená Harrachová (29. listopadu 1905 Aschach (nyní Aschach an der Donau), zámek – 16. února 2000 Salcburk) byla hraběnka ze starobylého česko-rakouského rodu. Po konfiskaci rodinného majetku v roce 1948 její rodina odešla do exilu. V devadesátých letech dvacátého století se Josefa (v některých pramenech uváděno Josefína) Podstatzká-Lichtensteinová přihlásila k české národnosti a po šestiletém restitučním řízení dosáhla navrácení rodinného jmění. Vrátila se do České republiky, dožila na svém zámku ve Velkém Meziříčí.

Původ a mládí (1905–1945)
Kořeny Harrachů sahají do vesničky Harrachy v jižních Čechách, nejstarší doložená zmínka o rodu Harrachů pochází z roku 1272. Žili v Čechách a v Rakousku. Josefa se narodila 29. listopadu 1905 otci Františku Mariovi Harrachovi (1870–1937) a jeho druhé manželce Sarah Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schillingsfűrst (1880–1908).

Harrachové byli významný rod, bylo mezi nimi mnoho osobností, které ovlivňovaly rakouské, české, moravské a evropské dějiny.

Byli mocní a velmi bohatí, dokud první republika nepřijala dva zákony, které vysokou aristokracii postihly. První byl zákon o zrušení šlechtického stavu s veškerými řády a tituly. Druhý byl zákon o pozemkové reformě, po níž Harrachové přišli o značnou část zemědělské půdy. Přesto nadále patřili k vlivné šlechtě, vlastnili zámek, rybníky, lesy.

Po svém otci Františku M. Harrachovi zdědila Josefa v roce 1937 zámek ve Velkém Meziříčí.

Dne 7. ledna 1933 se ve Velkém Meziříčí provdala za hraběte Aloise Podstatzkého-Lichtensteina (1905–1982), jenž také pocházel ze starého šlechtického rodu. (Rod Podstatzkých se v minulosti rozdělil na dvě větve - Podstatzké z Lichtensteina, nikoli Liechtensteina, a Podstatzké z Prusinovic.) Měli tři děti: Františka, Marii a Jana.

Za druhé světové války na ně nebyla uvalena nucená správa, přes niž nacisté ovládali pro ně zajímavé majetky, ale s nacistickým režimem si tato větev Podstatzkých nezadala. (Na rozdíl od druhé větve Podstatzkých z Prusinovic, která měla nemovitosti mj. v Telči, a v restitucích neuspěla.) Česká větev Podstatzkých-Lichtensteinů kontakty s okupanty udržovala na nejnižší přijatelné míře, a prokazatelně pomáhala odboji. Proto jim po druhé světové válce, tj. v roce 1945, nebyl majetek zabaven.

Exil (1948–1995)
Nemovitý majetek byl zkonfiskován až komunistickým režimem v roce 1948, v rámci znárodňování. Rodina se rozhodla odejít do exilu, a to za nového režimu, který okamžitě uzavřel hranice a cesty povoloval jen za velmi přísných podmínek, nebylo snadné.

Josefa s dětmi odjela do Prahy, kde požádala o výjezdní povolení, jako důvod uvedla návštěvu nemocné matky žijící v Rakousku. Cesta byla povolena, do Aschachu se dostali, vzdor potížím. (Rakouské vízum nebylo zcela v pořádku, čeští pohraničníci je nechali vystoupit z Orient Expresu,a zkoumali tak dlouho dokumenty a zavazadla, až vlak odjel. Hranice pak přejeli v nákladním vlaku mířícím do Jugoslávie, zažili přitom nepříjemné chvíle. První po přejezdu české hranice, kdy se obávali, že se nedostanou z vlaku, ale rakouský pohraničník otevřel vagón a nechal je vystoupit. Strach pak ještě měli při přechodu ze sovětské okupační zóny do amerického sektoru – Rakousko bylo po druhé světové válce podobně jako Německo rozděleno do sektorů.) Krátce pobyli u rodiny v Aschachu a pokračovali do Švýcarska či do Itálie (prameny se liší), kde se k nim zhruba po šesti týdnech připojil Alois Podstatzký-Lichtenstein, jenž přešel hranice ilegálně, poté co výjezdní doložku nedostal.

Zvažovali, kde začít nový život, a zvolili Chile, kde žila Josefinina nevlastní sestra.

Chile (1949–1961)
Cestu absolvovali na palubě lodi Marco Polo. V Santiagu de Chile si Alois založil nábytkářskou firmu a Josefa si zařídila obchod s luxusním italským sklem. Podniky nijak zvlášť neprosperovaly, živil je penzion, který Josefa provozovala se svou sestrou.

V polovině padesátých let se jejich finanční poměry znatelně zlepšily, když přijali zaměstnání u americké těžařské společnosti Anaconda. Josefa měla na starosti administrativu kuchyně a restaurace, Alois působil jako sekretář a barman Amerického klubu.

V roce 1959, kdy byly měděné doly zestátněny, dostali manželé okamžitou výpověď, opět řešili co dál, v Chile zůstat nechtěli.

Německo (1961–1972)
Josefa s dcerou odjely jako první, manžel přijel o něco později. Marně očekávali pomoc od četných známých a příbuzných, nikdo je nezaměstnal. Energická a podnikavá Josefa si tudíž v Mnichově založila vlastní firmu - prádelnu. Vybavila ji jedenácti pračkami, najala šest zaměstnanců, s dceřinou pomocí dohlížela na provoz od sedmi ráno do devíti večer. (Když odešla do důchodu, prádelnu vedla dcera Marie.) Alois po půl roce našel místo v advokátní kanceláři.

Rakousko (1972–1995)
Manželé Podstatzští neměli v úmyslu strávit zbytek života v Německu, proto si koupili starší domek v Salcburku, zrenovovali ho a na důchod se tam odstěhovali.

V září 1990 Josefa Podstatzká-Lichtensteinová po sedmačtyřiceti letech exilu opět uviděla Velké Meziříčí. Přijela se svým synem Janem Podstatzkým, jeho francouzskou manželkou a jejich synem Michaelem. Věděla, že zámek není ve stejném stavu, jako když ho opouštěli, měla informace od známých, kteří v Čechách zůstali, a krom toho od své dcery Marie, která coby chilská občanka po roce 1989 zámek jednou navštívila a toužila po návratu. Na zámku byla po odchodu původních majitelů zřízena porodnice a později Muzeum silnic a dálnic. Obě instituce budovu pozměnily a poznamenaly.

Návrat do České republiky (1995–2000)
Jakmile se Josefa dozvěděla o schválených restitučních zákonech, požádala o vrácení rodového majetku. Řízení se protáhlo, bylo nutné prokazovat datum konfiskace. Pokud by k ní bylo došlo před 25. únorem 1948, nebyl by na restituci nárok. Nakonec byla Josefě vrácena rodinná hrobka v Netíně, pak zámek ve Velkém Meziříčí, posléze lesy a rybníky.

Josefa se natrvalo ve Velkém Meziříčí usídlila v roce 1995. Přes svůj pokročilý věk se s obrovskou vervou dala do upravování bydlení a zahrady. Kvůli Muzeu silnic a dálnic, jež na zámku zůstávalo, nemohla bydlet v někdejších pokojích, proto se s dcerou Marií zařídila a ubytovala ve věži.

Česky mluvila, jako by zemi nikdy neopustila, dojímalo ji, že si ji někteří místní ještě pamatují. Věnovala se jednání s úřady, jednala s řemeslníky, čas od času zajížděla do Salcburku. I ve vysokém věku o sebe dbala, zachovávala si úroveň, neztrácela rozhodnost. Zemřela v roce 2000, její ostatky jsou uloženy v Netíně. Jmění odkázala rovným dílem svým třem dětem, které se později dohodly na vyrovnání, aby se rodový majetek neroztříštil.

This conversational AI startup helps firms in Myanmar drive sales: Startup Stories
Read more at kr-asia.com
Back in 2015, Swan Htet Aung, a 23-year-old Burmese program developer, had the idea of helping Facebook sellers promote and sell their products using conversational chatbot assistants.
After working as a product manager for two years, he launched a startup named MyanZen in 2015 with partners Thiha Tun and Paing Hein Htet. Together, they began developing chatbot products powered by artificial intelligence (AI) to target the social e-commerce field.
Also known as "conversational agents," chatbots are software applications created to interact with human users, typically to provide answer to frequently asked questions. In sales, this can help companies deliver automatic customer service at scale, 24/7.
However, social e-commerce was still at its beginning in Myanmar, and Swan Htet Aung's partners quickly abandoned the entrepreneurial path and left the startup. "Social e-commerce was not even a thing yet in Myanmar. In 2016, the social commerce market was very limited, with only 3,000 online shops and 5,200 active sellers," Swan Htet Aung said.
In 2017, he decided to shut down MyanZen and venture on his own by launching Expa.ai, with the idea of focusing on sales, marketing, and customer support powered by smart messaging applications for a wider clientele. "This was when we started to reaching wider audiences," Swan Htet Aung added.
According to Swan Htet Aung, the firm is the only one to have developed in-house Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology for Burmese, the official language of Myanmar, which is spoken by 65% of the country's 55 million population. Expa.ai's tech is able to process both Zawgyi, the country's most popular typeface, used by 90% of the population, and Unicode, the international text encoding standard, adopted officially in the country in 2019.
While big tech firms like Facebook and Google have deployed machine learning for translation tools, their conversion approach does not work well for short sentences in Burmese, a language that is morphologically rich and lacks word segmentation, the founder said. Natural language understanding (NLU) is another challenge for companies in the field, which the company had addressed in its chatbots.
Expa.ai offers services such as chatbot applications, message broadcasting, customer relationship management (CRM) software, and analytics tools to clients like Samsung, Oppo, and Nivea. According to Swan Htet Aung, the firm has processed over 43 million conversations for about 1,500 firms in the two years since its founding.

"When we first started in 2018, chatbots were still a relatively new concept to businesses, so we had to explain a lot to potential clients. However, the majority of companies already faced the problem of ineffective communication with their consumers, so we just came in with the right solutions" Swan Htet Aung said.
Expa.ai monetizes its services through subscription plans. The firm offers a free plan with basic services such as a basic chatbot builder and lite live chat support for up to 500 subscribers. Paid services start from MMK 60,000 (USD 44) per month for a standard package and go up to MMK 300,000 (USD 224) for the premium plan, which covers services such as CRM, sales analytics, unlimited broadcasting messages, and third-party integrations with apps like Viber, Facebook Messenger, and WhatsApp, as well as other websites.
In 2020, the firm experienced a threefold increase in its client count from its original 500, Swan Htet Aung said. About 10% of clients subscribe to the firm's premium services.
This month, the startup became part of Microsoft's Emerge X Program, an acceleration program that is designed to help startups in emerging markets scale and grow.
Seizing on this momentum, Expa.ai is set to register in Singapore in 2021, a common practice among Myanmar's startups to protect their intellectual property and secure investor confidence, Swan Htet Aung explained. The firm is seeking strategic investments from Southeast Asia companies, although the founder did not specify a timeline for capital infusions.
Other conversational companies such as Indonesian-based Kata.ai and BJTech, as well as Thailand-headquartered Zwiz.ai, are among Expa.ai's main competitors in the region. Yet, Swan Htet Aung mentioned that few firms offer the array of services provided by Expa.ai.
"Building up the Singapore entity is just the first step to attract more funding opportunities. We are already profitable and sustainable. We are open to talk with various investors or partner with them, so as to lay down the foundation and network for growth. Building turnkey AI solutions will be one of our 2021 plans," he added.
