Cause of the surge. What i want this hearing to date to talk about and the incentives we create in this country and in our laws for people to come to this country legally. We are a nation of immigrants. We need to recognize the fact that people that come into the this country by and large are coming for the exact reasons our ancestors came. They are seeking the opportunity this country offers people. We need to understand that to a certain extent we need to respect that if it is done legally. We cannot tolerate an unsecure border and a policy of immigration that is based on illegal immigration. We have to look at the law and the incentives for immigration. I would look at defered action of childhood arrivals as an incentive that creates this problem. That is what i want to gleam from the testimony and questions we are ask. Peoples lives are put at risk because of these incentives. The other point i want to make is the difficulty in getting the information to solve this problem. Part of
The fisa court and how they could improve that but courts generally. I think the down side of courts generally is they are not often well equipped to handle classified cases. Aside from standing issues, the process of handling classified materials, stamped with clearances is a challenge with the courts and they have shown timidity when taking on the government and they defer to the government or rather than challenge the government or look for the least intrusive for the rights with Civil Liberties.

They should follow up on their cases. Hours after the sheriff wrapped up the News Conference we heard from ice that disagrees with his account and we heard from the mayors office. Ktvu christina rendon. The agency is standing by their word of what they said. A spokesperson for ice in washington told me that the sheriff is going to extraordinary lengths to try and not take any sort of blame whatever for the tragedy. Ice says despite a formal request from them to the Sheriffs Office seeking to be release of sanchezs release it did not happen and they responded to mirkarimis statement that the feds did not do their job by failing to provide a general order to have sanchez sent back to ice. Ice says there is no such documents nor federal court that would issue one. The sheriffs assertion that ice is required to provide some sort of general order in order to receive the requested notification reflects a misunderstanding of law. Ice says several agencies dont honor the detainers to hold a pe

Segment who age out. Amongst that group theres a high prevalence of prison involvement. Im not sure its actually 70 . I dont have the number in front of me, but its much higher than we wouldment. By supporting youth, preparing them for aging out, when we failed them by aging out, and preparing them after the age out, that number is hopefully coming down but its still a concern.
