Un centenar de personas fallecieron este martes luego de que México se viera estremecido por
un poderoso terremoto de magnitud 7.1, que derrumbó varios edificios en la capital y dejó a personas en varios estados atrapadas entre los escombros.

Sigue aquí el minuto a minuto

Las autoridades han reportado
un total de 120 muertos, aunque la cifra podría aumentar mientras buscan sobrevivientes entre las estructuras caídas. En la tarde del martes, el jefe de gobierno de la Ciudad de México anunció que había
9 fallecidos en el estado de México,
1 en Oaxaca,
54 en Morelos,
26 en Puebla y
30 en Ciudad de México.

“Es el peor terremoto que he sentido en mi vida”, lamentó Carlos Leal, un mexicano que vive al sur de la capital y que dio uno de
varios testimonios sobre la intensidad del sismo a Univision Noticias. “Me tenía que levantar de mi escritorio a detener las cosas y al mismo tiempo llamaba a mi esposa sabiendo que estaba trabajando en un edificio”.

Irónicamente el sismo se dio en
el aniversario de otro muy poderoso que ocurrió en 1985, y por el cual se realizan simulacros en todo el país cada 19 de septiembre. De hecho, el sismo real del martes ocurrió casi una hora después del simulacro anual: “Pero
esta vez no hubo alerta, solo sentimos el temblor: el terremoto nos tomó por sorpresa”, contó Janet Cacelín, una periodista de Univision que envió
una crónica desde la capital.

Las fachadas de algunas edificaciones en Ciudad de México se vinieron abajo, destrozando autos que se encontraban en las calles adyacentes. Una escuela en la zona de Coapa se derrumbó, dejando a los vecinos preocupados por los alumnos que podrían quedar atrapados. Y se reportaron
evacuaciones masivas de edificios a lo largo del Paseo de la Reforma.

De un momento a otro, la capital se vio llena de viviendas agrietadas y de casas derrumbadas, imágenes que pronto recorrieron las redes mientras los mexicanos buscaban a sus seres queridos y pegaban listas en las calles con los nombres de los rescatados. Los rescatistas pedían silencio a lo largo de la tarde mientras intentaban detectar cualquier alerta de algún atrapado.

Las fugas de gas son una de las preocupaciones de las autoridades por los potenciales peligros que traen consigo. Residentes de la capital han reportado en redes sociales un fuerte olor a gas en áreas muy localizadas.

Según informó la agencia de noticias española EFE, en el estado de Puebla
se vinieron abajo las torres de la Iglesia de Cholula. En
Morelos y Oaxaca también se reportan daños.

El sismo de la tarde de este martes ocurre poco más de una semana después del que estremeció Oaxaca, Chiapas y Tabasco, que dejó unos 100 muertos.

NORTH LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Authorities in North Las Vegas released further information on this weekend’s deadly crash that took the life of nine people.

North Las Vegas Assistant Police Chief Jacqueline Gravatt, North Las Vegas Mayor John Lee and Councilwoman Pamela Goynes-Brown spoke to the media on Sunday evening:

Originally, North Las Vegas police said the nine people were killed Saturday in a “mass casualty” traffic collision on Cheyenne Avenue near Commerce Street.

A Dodge Charger was speeding northbound on Commerce approaching Cheyenne around 3 p.m. and ran a red light. The Charger hit multiple vehicles, according to the North Las Vegas Police Department

In total, 15 people were involved in the incident. One person remained in critical condition at the University Medical Center.

NLVPD Officer Alexander Cuevas called it a “chaotic event.”

Six vehicles total were involved in the crash.

The deceased range from at least one juvenile to middle-aged adults, according to authorities. The driver of the Dodge Charger is among the nine who died.

Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax reacted Saturday to the controversial photo that appeared on Gov. Ralph Northam’s 1984 medical school yearbook page, which showed a man dressed in blackface and another in a KKK hood and robe, saying the imagine had  “shocked and saddened” him.

While Fairfax did not explicitly call for the Northam’s resignation — several other lawmakers, including multiple 2020 presidential candidates, have done so since the photo emerged — he said he couldn’t “condone the actions from his past.” He also said Northam had personally reached out to him to express regret.

The yearbook image is “an example of a painful scourge that continues to haunt us today and holds us back from the progress we need to make,” Fairfax, whose great-great-great grandfather was a slave in Virginia, said in a statement posted on Twitter.

Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax speaks during an interview in his office at the Capitol in Richmond, Virginia, on Saturday. Fairfax answered questions about the controversial photo in Gov. Ralph Northam’s yearbook page.

GOV. RALPH NORTHAM HAD QUESTIONABLE NICKNAME IN 1981 YEARBOOK

“As we commemorate 400 years since the first enslaved Africans were brought to Virginia, it is painful to experience such a searing reminder of the modern legacy of our nation’s original sin,” he continued. “And, as someone whose great-great-great grandfather was enslaved in Virginia, this episode strikes particularly close to home.”

The embattled Democratic governor during a news conference Saturday said he was not in the racist photo, despite apologizing for appearing in the photo a day earlier. However, he did acknowledge darkening his face for another occasion that same year, when he dressed as singer Michael Jackson as part of a talent contest.

“When I was confronted with the image, I was appalled that it appeared on my page, but I believed then and I believe now that I am not either of the people in that photograph,” he told reporters at the governor’s mansion.

He apologized for the picture appearing on his page, calling the image “offensive” and “racist,” but said that he had nothing to do with the preparation of the yearbook, and that he did not purchase it.

In regard to his “Michael Jackson costume,” Northam said he regrets “that I did not understand the harmful legacy of an action like that.”

The photo was first published by Big League Politics on Friday and led to numerous officials calling on him to resign. The governor on Saturday continued to say that he would not step down from his post amid the controversy.

Fairfax on Saturday wrote that he was pleased Northam apologized, adding that the governor, with whom he has long worked with, contacted him “to express his sincere regrets and to apologize.”

“While his career has been marked by service to children, soldiers, and constituents, I cannot condone the actions from his past that, at the very least, suggest a comfort with Virginia’s darker history of white supremacy, racial stereotyping, and intimidation,” Fairfax said of the governor.

He added that Virginia and the country needed “leaders with the ability to unite and help us rise to the better angels of our nature.”

“Kelly immediately realized the problem with Trump’s request for loyalty, and he pushed back on the president’s demand,” Schmidt writes, according to an excerpt obtained by Axios. “Kelly said that he would be loyal to the Constitution and the rule of law, but he refused to pledge his loyalty to Trump.”

“Kelly has told others that Trump wanted to behave like an authoritarian and repeatedly had to be restrained and told what he could and could not legally do,” Schmidt writes. “Aside from questions of the law, Kelly has told others that one of the most difficult tasks he faced with Trump was trying to stop him from pulling out of NATO — a move that Trump has repeatedly threatened but never made good on, which would have been a seismic breach of American alliances and an extraordinary gift to Putin.”

An Army veteran who faces eight counts of attempted murder after plowing his car into a crowd of people in Sunnyvale, critically injuring a 13-year-old girl, targeted the victims because he thought some of them were Muslim, police officials said Friday.

Isaiah Joel Peoples, 34, was ordered held without bail Friday at his first appearance in court since being arrested and charged with steering his black 2010 Toyota Corolla into eight pedestrians Tuesday evening. The defendant said nothing during the brief appearance in Judge Richard Loftus’ courtroom at the Santa Clara County Hall of Justice in San Jose.


“Based on our investigation, new evidence shows that the defendant intentionally targeted the victims based on their race and his belief that they were of the Muslim faith,” Sunnyvale Police Chief Phan Ngo said outside court. The chief didn’t explain what evidence led police to believe this and did not say whether any of the victims are Muslim.


The Santa Clara County district attorney’s office charged Peoples with eight counts of attempted murder, four of which have enhancement for causing great bodily injury. Prosecutors have not filed hate crime enhancements in the case, but are prepared to do so “if the investigation yields enough evidence,” Chief Assistant District Attorney Jay Borarsky said.

“There is very appalling, disturbing evidence that at least one or two of these victims were targeted based on the defendant’s view of what their race or religion may have been,” Borarsky said, adding that “we have zero tolerance for any sort of hate crime.”

Sunnyvale police Capt. Jim Choi said Peoples has made “no statements of remorse” since his arrest Tuesday evening.

Peoples’ attorney, Chuck Smith, challenged the accusations and said his client did not intentionally run down anyone and has been “praying for the victims injured from his actions.”

“This act was clearly the product of some mental disorder or mental defect,” Smith said after the hearing. “There is no explanation for this other than his service, the things he saw, and what happened to him mentally while serving our country.”

Peoples served in the U.S. Army from 2004 to 2006 and was honorably discharged before joining the Army Reserve in 2008. He was a civil affairs specialist who retained the rank of sergeant and was deployed to Iraq from June 2005 to May 2006, officials said.


His brother has told The Chronicle that Peoples was struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder after his return from the Middle East. He was on medication and spent nearly a year in a mental institution in 2015, his brother, Joshua Peoples, said.

Before he ran down the crowd, Peoples picked up food and was heading toward a Bible study group, police said. One witness told The Chronicle that he reached speeds up to 60 mph before striking the victims. Police later found a disassembled, inoperative shotgun in the Toyota, they said.

Peoples hit seven of the eight victims he targeted, police said. One of the victims pushed his 9-year-old son out of the car’s path. The father, however, was hit, along with his 13-year-old daughter, who authorities said is the most severely injured victim.

She remains in critical condition in a coma with swelling to her brain, police officials wrote in court papers. Doctors removed the left side of her skull to relieve pressure. She also has a broken pelvis.

“Our hearts are with her and her loved ones as we pray for her recovery,” Ngo said.

The six other victims have injuries ranging from broken bones to minor scrapes.

After crashing into the crowd at the intersection of El Camino Real and Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road, a witness said, Peoples got out of his car and repeatedly mumbled, “Thank you, Jesus,” before police came to the scene and arrested him.

The attack comes as many local Muslims have grown fearful and frustrated over recent anti-Muslim rhetoric and attacks around the country and world. Last month, a man suspected of having white nationalist ties gunned down 49 people at two mosques in New Zealand during Friday prayer.

In the United States, Muslims were the target of nearly 19% of religiously motivated hate crimes, according to FBI data released in 2018.

“My heart breaks for anyone who is an innocent victim of hate,” said Samina Sundas, founder of the American Muslim Voice Foundation, a Bay Area Muslim advocacy group. “People are just killing right and left. I don’t know when it will stop.”

Sundas said people shouldn’t focus on divisiveness when tragedies like the one in Sunnyvale happen.

“More of us need to dedicate ourselves to love, not hate,” she said.

Pese embora a época menos conseguida do FC Porto, Yacine Brahimi continua a fazer parte da lista de alvos dos principais clubes europeus.

PUB

O jornal O Jogo avança que Liverpool, Milan e Wolfsburgo já fizeram chegar ao Dragão abordagens pelo internacional argelino, sendo dado como certo que irão marcar presença no Jamor para observar o jogador ‘in loco’.

Depois de ser apontado à Juventus, o rol de interessados em Brahimi continua a aumentar, e, embora muito dificilmente alguém vá avançar com os 60 milhões de euros da cláusula de rescisão, o FC Porto espera fazer um importante encaixe financeiro com o jogador.

Os ‘dragões’, recorde-se, detêm apenas 50% do passe do argelino, pelo que será necessária uma proposta significativa para abrir as portas à transferência.

The Supreme Court justices are hearing oral arguments Tuesday over the citizenship question the Trump administration wants to add to forms for the 2020 census.

Susan Walsh/AP

The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments Tuesday in a legal battle with lasting implications that could dramatically affect political representation and federal funding over the next decade. The justices are weighing whether to allow the Trump administration to add a question about U.S. citizenship status to forms for the upcoming 2020 census.

In multiple lawsuits brought by dozens of states, cities and other groups, three federal judges at U.S. district courts have issued rulings blocking the administration’s plans for the question. It asks, “Is this person a citizen of the United States?”

All three judges — in New York, California and Maryland — ruled that Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross’ decision to include the question violated procedures for adding new census questions under administrative law. The judges in California and Maryland have also ruled that adding the question is unconstitutional because it hurts the government’s ability to carry out the constitutional mandate for a once-a-decade head count of every person living in the U.S.

Unclear motivation behind the question

Population counts from the 2020 census will determine how many congressional seats and Electoral College votes each state gets for the next decade. The data also guide the distribution of an estimated $880 billion a year in federal funding for schools, roads and other public services.

“This is not benign information,” says Hermann Habermann, a former deputy director at the Census Bureau. “People’s lives are going to be affected by it.”

The Trump administration has maintained that Ross, who oversees the Census Bureau, added the question to collect more detailed citizenship data to enforce part of the Voting Rights Act. The district court judges, however, have all concluded that was not the real reason for the administration’s last-minute push for the question.

“We’ve had the Voting Rights Act for 50 years,” says Andrew Pincus, an attorney representing former Census Bureau directors who have filed a brief in the Supreme Court. “For its entire life, this data has not been available, and the Voting Rights Act has been enforced.”

In fact, six of the bureau’s former directors, who have served under both Democratic and Republican administrations, have warned that adding the citizenship question would jeopardize the accuracy of the population count.

“The issue isn’t whether or not the administration or the United States has a right to know how many citizens are there,” Habermann says. “The issue is what’s the best way to get that piece of information so that you do not harm the census.”

In the current political climate, Census Bureau research indicates the question is likely to discourage households with noncitizens, including unauthorized immigrants, from taking part in the count. The bureau estimates 6.5 million people will not respond to the 2020 census themselves if a citizenship question is included. That estimate may climb higher after the agency conducts its first field test of the question on a 2020 census form beginning in June.

Still, Ross overruled the unanimous advice of experts at the Census Bureau, who recommended compiling existing government records on citizenship from other federal agencies rather than adding a citizenship question. He later testified repeatedly before Congress that he added the question only because the Justice Department wanted it on the census form.

The litigation uncovered emails from Ross and other Commerce Department officials showing the idea for adding the citizenship question had roots not in the Justice Department, as Ross testified in Congress, but in discussions between Ross, former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon and former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who helped lead President Trump’s now-defunct voter fraud commission.

The emails also show that despite repeated entreaties, Justice Department officials refused at first to ask for the addition of the question, saying that it was unnecessary.

The limits of Ross’ discretion

The Trump administration does have the support of 17 Republican-controlled states, including Oklahoma. That state’s solicitor general, Mithun Mansinghani, notes that attorneys at the Justice Department, which is representing the administration, are arguing that the courts do not have the authority to second-guess the commerce secretary’s decision about the census.

“The question is, does the secretary have the discretion to weigh the costs and benefits between asking a citizenship question and not asking one? And the department maintains he does have that discretion,” Mansinghani says.

But Ross’ discretion is not unlimited, argues New York State Attorney General Letitia James. Her office represented plaintiffs in one of the lawsuits at the New York district court under her predecessor.

“He has a constitutional and a statutory obligation to pursue an accurate count. And the record is clear, that by including the citizenship question, it would result in an inaccurate count,” James says.

The administration contends that all it has to show is that Ross made a rational decision. The lower courts found that the decision, in fact, was not rational, but arbitrary.

The path to the Supreme Court

The Supreme Court is reviewing the ruling by U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman in New York — as well as whether adding the question is constitutional — in an expedited and complicated case.

It appears that Trump administration officials have long been preparing for the case.

“Since this issue will go to the Supreme Court we need to be diligent in preparing the administrative record,” a Commerce Department official wrote to Ross in an internal email about the citizenship question sent in August 2017, months before the administration’s formal request for the question became public.

The justices decided in February to take on a sped-up review of Furman’s ruling after receiving an unusual request from the Trump administration to not wait for the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to review the administration’s appeal.

A week before the first courtroom trial was scheduled to begin in November in New York, the administration’s attorneys asked the high court to delay the proceedings. The administration wanted the justices to first rule on its separate appeal of Furman’s order for Ross to sit for questioning under oath by the plaintiffs’ attorneys. The Supreme Court ultimately denied that emergency request, with Justice Clarence Thomas, Justice Samuel Alito and Justice Neil Gorsuch dissenting from the majority vote.

Ross’ deposition has been temporarily blocked by the high court. All of the justices are still considering whether to allow it to proceed.

Gorsuch and Thomas have indicated that they are not convinced there was enough evidence of “bad faith” to justify allowing the plaintiffs’ attorneys to question Ross.

“There’s nothing unusual about a new cabinet secretary coming to office inclined to favor a different policy direction, soliciting support from other agencies to bolster his views, disagreeing with staff, or cutting through red tape,” Gorsuch wrote in an opinion released in October for Thomas and himself.

Furman said he ordered Ross’ deposition mainly because he “found reason to believe that Secretary Ross had provided false explanations of his reasons for, and the genesis of, the citizenship question.”

Looming deadlines

Tuesday’s oral arguments are scheduled to last 80 minutes, including time for the general counsel of the U.S. House of Representatives to argue against the question as a friend of the court in support of the lawsuits’ plaintiffs.

The Census Bureau says it needs a final ruling on whether to include a citizenship question by June in order for the printing of paper forms for the census to begin this summer as scheduled. But a recent 4th Circuit appeal by plaintiffs in one of the Maryland lawsuits, who are challenging a ruling on a racial discrimination claim, could complicate the timeline.

If Congress provided additional funding, the bureau could extend its June deadline for finalizing census forms to as late as Oct. 31, the bureau’s chief scientist testified during the New York trial.

That would, however, put yet more pressure on the head count, which is set to officially begin in January 2020 in remote Alaska before rolling out to the rest of the country by April.

A Somali official confirmed reports of an attack on a U.S. base in the country on Monday. Yusuf Abdourahman, a security official with the Lower Shabelle regional administration, told The Associated Press that a suicide car bomber detonated a vehicle packed with explosives at the gate of a military airstrip that serves as a base for U.S. and Somali forces.

He said a burst of gunfire could be heard across the base after the bombing, suggesting an ongoing attack on the facility.

Somalia’s Islamic extremist rebels, al-Shabab, claimed responsibility for the attack.

The U.S. military uses Belidogle airstrip in the Lower Shabelle region as a base where it launches drones that attack al-Shabab and trains Somali troops. AFRICOM confirmed a strike by U.S. drones about two weeks ago in support of Somali forces who came under attack by al-Shabab militants while on patrol in Lower Juba province.

How drones could save lives in Somalia’s battle against al-Shabab

There was no information immediately provided by the U.S. military’s Africa Command (AFRICOM) on the incident at Belidogle.

Al-Shabab, which often exaggerates its battlefield operations, claimed in a statement posted online that the attack began with multiple explosives-laden trucks, which it said had allowed a group of militants to get into the base where they “engaged American troops.”

There were reports of a second attack on European Union peacekeepers in Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu. A Reuters journalist reported seeing a seriously damaged armored vehicle with a small Italian flag on it after an explosion that apparently targeted an EU convoy. There were no immediate reports of casualties.

Al-Shabab was behind the brazen assault on a shopping and hotel complex in Nairobi, Kenya, in January that left more than 20 people dead, including one American man.

Kenya cracks down on Al-Shabaab terror group

Kenyan intelligence officials told CBS News that the al-Shabab cell in Kenya behind that attack had been scouting the upmarket dusitD2 hotel complex for at least two years.

    São Paulo – The government of the state of São Paulo has devised a strategy for offering leisure options other than football games to foreign and domestic visitors expected in the namesake capital São Paulo during the FIFA World Cup. This Wednesday (9th) saw the launch of a travel guide listing attractions available in the capital and the rest of the state. São Paulo is expecting 1.2 million visitors during the Cup, 300,000 of which will be foreigners.

    Ilhabela: an option in-between matches

    “Our job is to showcase what our state has to offer,” says Carolina Fontes, the events manager of Comitê Paulista 2014 (the 2014 São Paulo State Committee), an organization linked to the state government in charge of handling World Cup-related affairs. Past experiences have shown that World Cup tourists want to do other things as well, hence the guide, according to the events manager.

    Another important piece of information on crafting the guide is the fact that World Cup tourists don’t travel farther than 300 kilometres or longer than 3 days, because they take their trips in between games. The guide has 236 pages and features 55 routes in 49 municipalities, with options lasting one, two or three days. It is divided into four sections – beach and sun, culture and leisure, food and beverage, adventure and nature – and there are versions available in English, Portuguese and Spanish.

    The guide will be distributed to travel agencies and organizations, airlines, consulates, football federations in World Cup participating countries, city halls, and the press. It features information on destinations, but not complete travel packages. According to Fontes, agencies will be allowed to based their packages around it, and tourists will be able to refer to the guide with no need for a travel agency, if they choose to travel by themselves. The information is expected to reach foreigners via the press, agencies and consulates as well.

    Fontes believes the most successful routes among foreigners will be beach and sun and adventure and nature. “The profile of the World Cup crowd, mostly young men, they will be seeking leisure,” says the manager. The majority of foreigners travelling to Brazil will be actual national teams’ members. There are fans who will travel alongside their national teams. Algeria is the sole Arab country playing the 2014 World Cup. The Algerian team will stay in Sorocaba, in the state of São Paulo.

    The guide is fairly didactical and comprehensive. It includes information on the state and the services available, such as airports, roads, how to make telephone calls, a section with information on the World Cup in São Paulo, profiles of football players born in the state, and then the routes. One-day tour suggestions include a visit to Santos; two-day tours include gastronomical tours in Campos do Jordão and Santo Antônio do Pinhal; the three-day options include trips to the waterfalls and beaches of Ilhabela and São Sebastião.

    The city of São Paulo is hosting six World Cup matches. The first one is the opening match, on June 12th, between Brazil and Croatia. The second match is due on June 19th, Uruguay vs. England, the third one is on June 23rd, Netherlands vs. Chile, and the fourth one will be played on June 26th, Belgium vs. South Korea. The last two matches will be played on July 1st and 9th, the former being a part of the round of sixteen, and the latter a part of the semi-finals. The teams playing these matches will depend on the results of prior matches.

    The US supreme court appeared skeptical of Donald Trump’s effort to exclude undocumented immigrants from critical census data, but it also appeared hesitant to immediately halt the policy.

    The court on Monday considered a high-stakes dispute focused on a July memo in which Trump ordered the Department of Commerce to exclude undocumented people from the census tally used to determine how many seats each state gets in Congress. The decennial census, conducted since America’s founding, has long used the total population as the basis for allocating seats.

    The Trump administration’s policy would probably cause the most harm to immigrant-rich places such as California and Texas, while benefiting whiter, more conservative areas for the next decade. Several states, led by New York, as well as a coalition of immigrant advocacy groups, have challenged the policy in courts across the country. Lower courts in several of the cases have blocked the policy as unlawful.

    On Monday, even two of the court’s more conservative justices, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett, appeared somewhat wary of the idea that the constitution authorizes the president to categorically exclude undocumented immigrants from the apportionment counts. The constitution says congressional seats should be apportioned based on “the whole number of persons”.

    “A lot of the historical evidence and the longstanding practice really cuts against your position,” Barrett told Jeffrey Wall, the government’s top lawyer, who argued on behalf of the Trump administration.

    Attempts to exclude non-citizens have been at the core of the Trump administration’s census strategy. Last year, the supreme court blocked the Trump administration from adding a citizenship question to the census itself. This year, the administration rushed to complete the count even as experts warned it needed more time to produce reliable data, in what was probably an effort to give Trump a say over the final numbers before he leaves office. If the possibility remains open, President-elect Joe Biden would probably reverse the order to exclude undocumented immigrants from apportionment once he takes office.

    Much of Monday’s argument focused not on the merits of the president’s actions but on the timing of the case. Wall told the justices on Monday that the commerce department was behind schedule – it faces a 31 December deadline – in preparing the data for the president, and it was still unclear how many undocumented people the government would be able to exclude. The court should wait until that uncertainty was resolved to see how many people could be affected before issuing a ruling, he said.

    Many of the justices wondered aloud whether it was simply too early for the US supreme court to step in and stop the commerce secretary, Wilbur Ross, who oversees the census, from sending Trump a dataset with a tally of undocumented immigrants.

    “I find the posture of this case quite frustrating. It could be that we are dealing with a possibility that is quite important. It could be that this is much ado about very little. It depends on what the Census Bureau and the Department of Commerce are able to do,” said Samuel Alito, another conservative justice on the court.

    Justice Neil Gorsuch, a conservative, suggested that the number of undocumented people might be so small that it wouldn’t affect apportionment. But Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, two of the court’s more liberal members, pushed back strongly on that idea. Kagan noted the government already had records on millions of undocumented people.

    Sotomayor said that regardless of what the Census Bureau ultimately calculated, the Trump administration had chosen to exclude all undocumented immigrants, a choice that signaled it wanted to have as large an effect as possible. “The number intended is substantially large,” she said.

    Wall suggested the challengers should bring a suit next year, after seats were apportioned, but Chief Justice John Roberts seemed wary. He noted that asking the court to step in after apportionment would be like trying to “unscramble the eggs” because any change in the seats a single state gets has “ripple effects”.

    Dale Ho, the director of the Voting Rights Project at the American Civil Liberties Union, noted in court that waiting too long would disrupt the redistricting process states are scheduled to begin next year.

    But moving away from the procedure of the case, Ho said the census had always evaluated whether or not to count people based on residency, not immigration status. Noting that undocumented people contribute to America’s economy, serve as essential workers and pay millions in taxes, he closed his argument by highlighting the absurdity of excluding them from the count.

    “While the president may have some discretion in borderline cases, he does not have discretion to erase millions of state residents from the apportionment based solely on lawful immigration status,” he said. “They’re our neighbors, our co-workers, and our family members. They are usual residents under any plausible definitions of that term.”

    The U.S. hit another grim milestone in the COVID-19 pandemic Monday, recording its 3,000 death as the nation’s most populated cities put out cries for aid and extra hospital beds.

    The latest numbers — 3,170 deaths and more than 164,000 confirmed infections in the U.S. as of early Tuesday — come as cities across the nation struggle find adequate health care for patients.

    In New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles, mayors and governors are working on alternative hospital arrangements. In Illinois, there are plans to convert Chicago’s McCormick Place Convention Center — the largest conference center in North America — into a care facility that will be able to accommodate up to 3,000 coronavirus patients.

    In New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo has pleaded with nurses and doctors across the country to travel to his state to help with the outbreak, so long as the situation in their state isn’t dire.

    “In this battle, the troops are our healthcare professionals,” Cuomo said. “We need relief. We need relief for nurses working 12-hour shifts. We need relief for doctors. Help us now and we will return the favor.”

    New York has more confirmed cases than any other state, with more than 67,000 cases; 1,342 have died, accounting for nearly one-third of all U.S. deaths. On Monday, the USNS Comfort, a Navy hospital ship featuring 1,000 beds and 12 operating rooms, arrived in New York harbor. It could be ready to take in patients as soon as Tuesday.
