CBS News Wrote:New York Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul said Wednesday that she is "fully prepared" to lead the state a day after Governor Andrew Cuomo announced he is resigning amid sexual harassment allegations.
Hochul said that although she served in the Cuomo administration for years, she and Cuomo are "not close" and there will be turnover from his administration. Cuomo announced he would resign Tuesday after being accused of sexually harassing 11 women, including staffers as well as people who did not work for his administration.
"It is not something I expected or asked for, but I am fully prepared to assume the responsibilities of the 57th governor of the state of New York," Hochul said.
Hochul, who was never a member of Cuomo's inner circle, insisted she is ready for the job. Cuomo's resignation does not take effect until August 24, and Hochul said she will take that time to travel the state and prepare for the job.
Time will tell if she's not hiding anything as well. Let's hope she doesn't because NY has been going through a difficult situation for the last two years more or less.
CBS News Wrote:The Biden administration on Wednesday issued new guidance instructing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to refrain from detaining and deporting immigrants who were victims of crimes, barring extraordinary circumstances.I don't think ICE agents will agree with such a weird guidance. Any dangerous alien could easily take advantage of its lax measures to escape or commit crimes. It's like telling Texas that they should let immigrants flood their state just because.
By minimizing the "chilling effect" of potential deportation, interim ICE Director Tae Johnson said in a memo to agents, the policy change can encourage immigrants living in the U.S. without legal permission to contact law enforcement and assist investigations.
"When victims have access to humanitarian protection, regardless of their immigration status, and can feel safe in coming forward, it strengthens the ability of local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies, including ICE, to detect, investigate, and prosecute crimes," Johnson wrote in his memo.
The guidance directs ICE agents to use discretion in cases that involve immigrants who have been granted or are applying for an immigration benefit designed to protect victims of crimes like trafficking and domestic abuse.
Under the new policy, deportation officers should also consider not arresting or releasing immigrants who are found to have been victims of crime, even if they don't have a pending immigration application.
I know there are people that are real victims of abuse, but let's be honest here. They're not even half of all the immigrants entering US soil!
