On Friday President Trump confirmed reports that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement plans to conduct nationwide sweeps to arrest thousands of undocumented immigrant families who the government says have missed a court appearance or have been issued court-ordered removals from the country.

“It starts on Sunday, and they’re going to take people out, and they’re going to bring them back to their countries, or they’re going to take criminals out — put them in prison or put them in prison in the countries they came from,” Trump said outside of the White House.

The operations, which would be along the same lines as the one cancelled last month, are expected to take place in at least 10 cities across the U.S. and last for days. According to reports, ICE is prepared to target more than 2,000 recently arrived migrant families — most of whom do not have criminal histories.

The raids will be conducted over multiple days. Denver Mayor Michael Hancock reported they will go on through July 18, and they will include “collateral deportations,” meaning undocumented migrants who happen to be on the scene but are not the intended target, could also be subject to detention.

Acting Director of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Kevin Cuccinelli said Thursday there are approximately 1 million people in the country with removal orders.

“As always, ICE prioritizes the arrest and removal of unlawfully present aliens who pose a threat to national security, public safety and border security,” ICE spokesman Matthew Bourke said Thursday statement in a statement. “However, all of those in violation of the immigration laws may be subject to immigration arrest, detention and — if found removable by final order — removal from the United States.”

The ACLU has sued in federal court in New York, in an attempt to block the raids, arguing that many of the migrants didn’t get proper notice of hearings and were then ordered removed for failing to show up for court. But, it is unclear if the lawsuit will have any impact on ICE’s intended actions over the weekend.

As the raid looms, local leaders and immigrant rights activists are trying to assuage the rising fear among immigrant communities. Here are a few actions planned in each city to cope with the imminent detentions.

San Francisco

A series of rallies have been organized as part of a national action to protest the expected deportation blitz as well as the detainment of children in migrant centers. The protests started as early as Friday and are expected go through the weekend.

The “Rise Up” rally, held Friday afternoon outside of the ICE headquarters in San Francisco, calls for the closure of child detention centers and for separated migrant families to be reunited. A similar protest is scheduled to take place in Palo Alto, in front of Palantir Technologies headquarters — the data mining company earned a $41 million contract from the Trump administration to build and maintain an intelligence system called Investigative Case Management.

Lights for Liberty has coordinated national actions “for kids at migrant detention centers” that will include protests in every state, from Friday through the weekend. Multiple events have been organized in the Bay Area, including demonstrations in San Francisco, Berkely, Oakland.

Los Angeles

The Coalition for Humane Rights in Los Angeles — CHIRLA — is telling undocumented immigrants living in the sprawling metropolis to remain calm and “go on living their lives without fear.”

“We’ve been ready for many, many months informing the community about their rights,” Communications Director Jorge-Mario Cabrera told NPR.

The immigrant rights group has set up a robust cadre of attorneys prepared to provide legal assistance via a hotline number to anyone without a lawyer who is caught up in the sweeps. Three hundred attorneys make up the L.A Raids Rapid Response Network and can be reached via a hotline phone number, according to Cabrera.

Individual attorneys will be assigned and deployed to meet people either at their homes — as a sweep is in progress — or wherever they are being held. Some will also be posted at the Los Angeles detention center in downtown to offer their services to people as they are brought in, Cabrera said.

“If we are not able to help them for X or Y reason, then we will provide referrals to community attorneys that we can trust,” he added.

CHIRLA’s website also offers information about where to call to locate someone who has been detained by ICE. “We also have sample letters that [people] can use to write to ensure their children are taken care of by a loved one and we have step-by-step instructions on how to set up a family plan,” Cabrera said.

Denver

Ahead of the raids, Denver Mayor Michael Hancock explained that the 10 cities bracing for widespread sweeps were selected because they “correspond with the immigration court dockets that have been set up to process families on an expedited basis.”

He added that he believes the operation will include rounding up children.

“We have on pretty good authority that ICE is actually making calls to cities that they are targeting and reach out to the Human Service Departments and asking for assistance in the event that they are rounding up children,” Hancock said.

According to the mayor, the local government is marshalling its resources to spread the word that “police officers will not be involved in the raid.” Hancock added that immigrants who are arrested for other crimes by local officers will not be held “past their time in our jail cell without an official warrant.”

Hancock also noted the city has a legal defense fund “that is designed to assist immigrants with their legal costs as they work to combat our push back on deportation and hopefully, stay with their family.”

Houston

Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner told NPR the prospective sweeps have “enhanced the anxiety level of people within my city.”

“I can’t quite see the upside,” Turner remarked, noting such widespread dragnets keep residents from seeking out local services they need and also make people reluctant to call the police to report criminal activity.

Turner also echoed what other mayors around the country are saying with regard to the use of the local police force. “We are not going to be participating with ICE on these type of raids” he said, especially in the case “of DREAMers and people who have been here for quite some time or people who have come to this country because they are seeking better opportunities.”

But he left open the possibility that officials may become involved in cases involving undocumented migrant criminals. “If we are talking about people with criminal records, people who have committed violent crimes, people who have felonies, people who are members of gangs like MS-13, that’s one thing ’cause we certainly don’t want those individuals in our city, period, OK?” Turner said.

Tuner encouraged people who may be confronted by ICE to seek legal aid through the Immigration Rights Hotline.

Chicago

Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who has been a vocal critic of the Trump administration’s immigration plans, said she is ensuring the Chicago Police Department will not cooperate with ICE in any way.

“That means that they will not team up with ICE to detain any resident. We have also cut off ICE access from any CPD databases and that will remain permanent,” Lightfoot announced at a news conference Thursday.

But local immigrant rights advocates have noted existing loopholes allow for ICE to call on the police department’s help. As WBEZ’s Hunter Clauss reported, “Chicago cops can assist ICE agents if an individual is in the city’s gang database, is a felon, faces a felony prosecution or has an outstanding criminal warrant.”

Activists seeking to expand protections for undocumented immigrants living in the city are urging Lightfoot to sign an executive order to eliminate the “carve outs” before the raids begin.

Lightfoot has yet to sign the order.

Meantime, Mony Ruiz-Velazco, executive director of the PASO West Suburban Action Project is cautioning undocumented residents caught up in the sweep not to open the door to ICE agents, unless they can produce a warrant that includes specific family members and is signed by a judge.

Dozens of faith leaders participating in The Resurrection Project have pledged to be present in immigrant communities to help “protect families under attack.”

They are calling on congregation members to “defend, block and witness” as ICE seeks to carry out deportation orders. Throughout the week, faith leaders and other community members plan to “spend time in, shop and eat in immigrant communities,” including Pilsen, Little Village, Gage Park, Chicago Lawn and Hermosa, the group said in a press release.

Atlanta

Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms decried the raids in an interview with MSNBC Friday, adding that they are unnecessary to protect local residents from harm.

She noted President Trump’s mention of the sweeps as a means of ousting MS-13 gang members from the country saying it was disingenuous. “I meet with my police chief several times a week, not one time has she mentioned that we need assistance with a gang through ICE coming through our community.”

Like several other mayors throughout the country who are preparing for ICE to roll through their cities, Bottoms stressed the Atlanta Police Department will not cooperate with federal agents. She called the ICE raids “inhumane.”

“Our city does not support ICE. We don’t have a relationship with the U.S. Marshal[s] Service, we closed our detention center to ICE detainees and we would not pick up people on an immigration violation,” she said.

Meanwhile, members of a Jewish advocacy group called Never Again Action say they are planning to “shut down” the downtown ICE office in a demonstration on Monday.

A block party to educate immigrants about the 2020 Census has been planned at the Sara J. Gonzalez Memorial Park on Sunday. The mayor said ICE officials confirmed they would not “interfere or use the block party as part of its operations,” according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

New Orleans

Tropical storm Barry has put a stop to the immigration raids that were expected to take place in New Orleans on Sunday.

City officials made the announcement Thursday and ICE spokesman Bryan Cox confirmed the reports, according to NOLA.com.

“Immigration enforcement will be temporarily suspended through the weekend in the Barry impacted areas of Louisiana & Mississippi. Make all storm preparations to stay safe regardless of your immigration status,” city officials tweeted.

Additionally, ICE spokesman Bryan Cox told NOLA.com in statement, “There will be no immigration enforcement initiatives associated with evacuations or sheltering related to the storm, except in the event of a serious public safety threat.”

Miami

Immigrant rights advocates in the Florida city are scrambling to prepare makeshift safe houses for undocumented migrants in advance of the arrests.

NPR member station WLRN reported activists are setting up “safe sanctuary spaces in secret locations for those seeking to avoid being caught up in the raids.”

Other advocacy groups are gathering supplies, including food and sleeping bags to distribute to individuals and churches where families, hoping to evade ICE may seek shelter, according to the Miami Herald.

Volunteers are also canvassing neighborhoods with fliers containing immigrant rights information throughout the state, where one in five residents is an immigrant.

Law enforcement sources told the outlet that people with deportation orders remain the primary targets, but federal officials will also ask “other members of the household of an undocumented immigrant for their immigration documents.”

Earlier this week, Miami-Dade commissioners advanced a plan to “expand the list of minor crimes that can be treated as civil violations, offenses that result in a ticket rather than a trip to jail,” the Miami Herald also reported.

The move is an effort to keep undocumented residents, whose immigration status is discovered during booking, out of the system.

Miami-Dade police have made an agreement with ICE to hold suspected immigration offenders to allow federal agents time to detain them.

South Florida does not have family detention centers. ICE, therefore, plans to utilize local hotels to house families for up to 24 hours before they are transferred to facilities out of state. Local jails may also be used to hold adults.

Baltimore

Hundreds of people gathered to protest against ICE in several rallies across Baltimore Friday night. And city leaders, including Mayor Bernard “Jack” Young and Police Commissioner Michael Harrison have vowed that they will not assist federal agents with immigration efforts in upcoming days.

“Immigrants who call Baltimore home should not live in fear of family separation and deportation, and I will continue to do all that is in my power so that all Baltimore residents, including immigrants, feel safe and welcome in our city,” Young said in a statement Friday night, the Baltimore Sun reported.

The advocacy group CASA is planning to host a series of legal aid clinics early next week. Spokesperson Lizette Olmos said they will begin as early as Tuesday and will be held in several cities throughout Maryland. They will provide legal help to people whose family members have been arrested in the ICE raids and also assist in tracking where they are being detained.

The Baltimore Sun estimated the ICE operation, “could be similar to ones conducted since 2003 that often produce hundreds of arrests.”

New York City

While New York is one of the 10 targeted cities identified in reports about the ICE operation, CBS affiliate WLNY reports the sweeps may extend into other areas of the state and New Jersey.

In anticipation of the sweeps, houses of worship are also reaching out to immigrant communities. Some are quietly offering sanctuary to undocumented immigrants while others are doing so openly, the news outlet reported.

The Bnai Keshet synagogue in Montclair, New Jersey, will offer shelter to people facing deportation.

The New York Immigration Coalition is urging all undocumented residents to seek free legal help to learn about their full rights before Sunday.

“You might have a deportation order against you, that does not give an ICE agent the ability to come into your door,” Executive Director Steven Choi said in an interview with NPR member station WNYC. “I would just say the advice to immigrant families and for communities is don’t open the door. Period.”

“You should be able to get a free immigration lawyer almost wherever you are … talk to an immigration legal provider, they’ll be able to help and let you know exactly what you can do,” Choi added.

He is directing migrants to the coalition’s website to view a “Know Your Rights” fact sheet, which is available in numerous languages, as well on tips on how to create a family plan in case parents are detained by ICE.

Some observers question whether Ms. Wu’s policy platform will be enough to carry her through the general election in November.

“People just want the city to work for them, they don’t want nice policies,” said Kay Gibbs, 81, who worked as a political aide to Thomas Atkins, the city’s first Black city councilor, and to Representative Barney Frank. Boston’s next mayor, she said, will have her hands full with the basics, taking control of powerful forces within a sprawling city government.

“The electorate is smarter than we think they are, and they have certain interests that don’t extend to all these dreamy ideas of free public transport and Green New Deal,” she said. “They are going to choose the person they think is most able.”

Boston is growing swiftly, with rapid growth in its Asian and Hispanic populations. It has seen a shrinking percentage of non-Hispanic white residents, who now make up less than 45 percent of the population. And the percentage of Black residents is also dropping, falling to 19 percent of the population from about 22 percent in 2010.

Ms. Janey, who was then the City Council president, became acting mayor in March after Martin J. Walsh became the country’s labor secretary, and many assumed she would cruise into the general election. But she was cautious in her new role, sticking largely to script in public appearances, and damaged by criticism from her rival Ms. Campbell, a Princeton-educated lawyer and vigorous campaigner.

At a campaign stop on Monday, Ms. Janey said incumbency had not necessarily proved an advantage.

“I certainly would say, if anything, it’s a double-edged sword,” she said.

Municipal elections, especially preliminary ones, tend to draw a low turnout, whiter and older than the city as a whole. It is only in the last few years that change has begun to ripple through Massachusetts, which has seen a series of upsets for progressive women of color, said Steve Koczela, president of the MassInc Polling Group.

“This is the culmination of a lot of flexing of new political muscle,” he said.

The media told us that President Trump was callous, uninformed, indifferent to facts, unwilling to listen to experts, willing to inflict incalculable damage to our interests — leaving allies abandoned, enemies emboldened and America with its reputation in tatters. 

But now, in a tragic turn of events, so much of what the press said about Donald Trump applies to Joe Biden. 

Biden’s disaster in Afghanistan — which has cost the lives of 13 US service members and scores of civilians — places this dynamic in stark relief. Announcing in April that the US would leave Afghanistan, the president took no cognizance of the actual terms of Trump’s negotiated deal with the Taliban. Whatever its shortcomings, the so-called Doha Agreement regulated the Taliban’s military actions, while requiring good faith negotiations between it and the Afghan government of President Ashraf Ghani. Given that the Taliban was in breach of Doha, and the required negotiations were unsuccessful, the United States was entitled to leave the pact. It certainly could not be held to any specific evacuation deadline. 

Biden, ignoring all these policy “details” — like Trump was once said to do — simply decreed that the United States would depart Afghanistan by the anniversary of 9/11, no conditions attached. He thereby placed optics over substance, politicizing what is sacred in the process — as Trump was also once said to do. (At the same time, by changing the withdrawal deadline from Trump’s date of May 1 not once but twice, to Sept. 11 and then to Aug. 31, Biden clearly found flexibility in Doha where he wanted it.)

Even as US intelligence warned of the Taliban’s advance, and even as the estimated timetable for its victory was radically foreshortened, Biden and his administration continued to spin. Another way of putting it: They spurned the experts, choosing instead to live inside a bubble of “alternative facts.” 

Pentagon press secretary John Kirby talked about “very capable” and “very sophisticated” Afghan military units, while White House press secretary Jen Psaki said that Afghan forces “have what they need.” In a phone call with Ghani, Biden went further still, pressuring the Afghan leader to claim that military conditions were positive “whether it is true or not.” One must wonder: While building false confidence in the Afghan military — the better to blame it later — did Biden ever consider the consequences of giving US citizens in Afghanistan, or our Afghan allies, false confidence in their continued safety? 

Biden’s response to the Taliban’s victory and the Afghan government’s collapse is in line with the caricature the media gave Trump, that of an uncaring leader acting unilaterally in the world.

As chaos ensued in Afghanistan, with American citizens trapped, Afghan allies betrayed, and scenes at the Kabul airport reminiscent of Saigon in 1975, Biden mustered little empathy to go along with all his finger-pointing and fact-ignoring. The president complained of Trump’s Doha deal, which he “inherited,” as if it afforded no opportunity to pivot. He conveniently derided the Afghan military’s “will to fight.” He claimed, fantastically, to “have seen no question of our credibility from our allies around the world.” 

Perhaps Biden missed the speech of Tom Tugendhat, a combat veteran of Afghanistan and chairman of the UK’s parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee. Tugendhat expressed his “grief and rage — the feeling [of] abandonment of not just a country but the sacrifice that my friends made.” Or perhaps the president was unaware of German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s statement, lamenting the “bitter, dramatic, and awful” conquest of Afghanistan by the Taliban. 

As the Afghanistan disaster shows, what the mainstream media said of Trump is true of Biden. And the consequences have only begun to unfold.

“The Democrats will never be satisfied, no matter what they get, how much they get, or how many pages they get. It will never end, but that’s the way life goes!” he tweeted Monday.

White House spokesman Hogan Gidley suggested Tuesday that the administration would defy House Democrats’ deadline of later in the day to turn over President Trump’s tax returns.

“It’s already been litigated in the court of public opinion and in the election,” Gidley said in an interview on Fox News when asked if the administration would meet the 5 p.m. deadline. “Once he’s out of audit he’ll think about doing it, but he is not inclined to do so at this time.”

The deadline is the second set by House Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal, D-Mass., for the IRS to cooperate with his inquiry into Trump’s tax returns.

[ Read more: Pence hasn’t released tax returns since taking office]

Part of the stated motivation for Neal’s inquiry is to determine whether the IRS has audited Trump and his businesses, as Trump claims. An IRS rule put in place after a major tax underpayment by former President Richard Nixon mandates that every sitting president be automatically placed under audit.

A law put in place in reaction to a major Cabinet corruption scandal in the 1920s, the Teapot Dome Scandal, grants the heads of the House Ways and Means Committee and Senate Finance Committee the ability to request taxpayer information from the IRS, which is a part of the Treasury Department. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin missed the first deadline set by Neal, April 10, saying that he wanted the IRS to hold off from complying with the request until it consulted with the Justice Department. Trump’s personal legal team made a similar request of the IRS.

In a follow-up letter sent on April 13, Neal told the Treasury secretary that he would view a failure to deliver Trump’s tax information by 5 p.m. Tuesday as a refusal, meaning that Neal would consider Mnuchin in violation of the law. That could set up a lengthy court battle.

Trump could voluntarily release his returns despite being under audit. Public polling has shown a majority of Americans think Trump’s tax returns should be released, though the number who believe it should be a priority is mixed. In a Politico/Morning Consult poll conducted in late March, half of respondents said that forcing Trump to release his tax returns should be a priority for Congress, while only 23 percent of those polled opposed it.

A spokesperson for the Treasury Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Though Mnuchin is considered one of Trump’s closest advisers, it’s not clear whether Gidley spoke for the department in his statement or only for Trump.

“He’s the president and no one cares about ridiculous charges about tax returns and all types of things Democrats are doubling down on today,” argued Gidley.

El origen de la fanesca no ha sido esclarecido del todo, sin embargo, esta comida ceremonial demuestra el sincretismo alimentario de las culturas asentadas en el territorio nacional junto con las costumbres gastronómicas traídas desde España.

La ushucuta -término kichwa que significa ‘granos tiernos cocidos con ají’ sería el plato prehispánico que dio origen a la fanesca, según el Ministerio de Cultura y Patrimonio de Ecuador.

En la actualidad, este exponente de la gastronomía ecuatoriana, se convirtió en un plato culinario tradicional a escala nacional para la familia, al punto de considerarlo como un elemento que identifica la herencia cultural y sintetiza la diversidad alimentaria.

Revise también: Fanesca, el plato sagrado de Ecuador

Para la preparación de la fanesca, se incluyen múltiples ingredientes de variados sabores y provenientes de distintas zonas, además, su elaboración obedece a todo un entramado social desplegado en un tiempo específico y con la connotación de unir, compartir y construir lazos entre los participantes.

Potaje de Semana Santa

Su tiempo de producción y disfrute se inserta en la Semana Mayor del catolicismo, el cual conmemora la muerte y resurrección de Cristo, y dentro de las festividades andinas del Pawkar Raymi (Fiesta del Florecimiento), incluido el ritual del Mushuk Nina (Fuego Nuevo).

En ambos casos, es el mismo gusto culinario: la fanesca, que es un potaje de 12 granos y legumbres tiernas (fréjol, haba, chocho, choclo, arveja, lenteja, melloco, garbanzo, zapallo, cebolla y sambo) y pescado seco.

Lea aquí: Receta de Fanesca

Los primigenios habitantes de la sierra ecuatoriana la preparaban al cocinar granos con calabazas y con la influencia española, nuevos ingredientes, como las habas, la leche, el queso y el pescado, y técnicas de cocción fueron incluidos.

De esta mezcla de productos, saberes y sabores surge la fanesca, una expresión del mestizaje y diversidad cultural del país. Incluso el término fue incluido y reconocido como un ecuatorianismo por la Real Academia de la Lengua Española en el año 2001.

Testigos han relatado las escenas de desesperación que vieron cuando el incendio crecía en la Torre Grenfell, en Londres.

Una mujer desesperada tenía a un bebé en sus brazos, recuerda Samira Lamrani, una testigo del devastador incendio que consumió este miércoles un edificio de 24 pisos en Londres, Reino Unido.

Desde una ventana en el “noveno o décimo piso”, la mujer hacía señales mientras sostenía al bebé y pedía ayuda para que alguien lo rescatara.

“Estaba a punto de arrojar a su bebé y pedía que alguien pudiera tomarlo”, así lo contó Lamrani ante las cámaras y el video ha sido reproducido por varios medios británicos.

Este miércoles se celebraron vigilias en Londres por los afectados.

Sus señales fueron entendidas por un hombre que, después de que la mujer lanzara al pequeño, “corrió y logró atraparlo” en la calle.

Y así se dio el milagroso rescate del menor en el fatal incendio que ha dejado al menos 17 muertos y decenas de heridos.

El incidente ocurrió en la torre de apartamentos Grenfell, en la cual vivían alrededor de 500 personas y que se encuentra en el oeste de la capital británica.

Se cree que el incendio comenzó en el cuarto piso, pero las causas aún no están determinadas.

“Vi a otros niños siendo arrojados del edificio desde tan alto como el piso 15. Eran pequeños, probablemente entre 4 y 8 años. Vi a tres siendo arrojados”, explicó Lamrani, quien supo que había policías o bomberos intentando atraparlos.

La escena de desesperación se repetía en otras partes, y los relatos del horror vivido se multiplican.

Otra vecina, llamada Zara, también contó haber visto a una mujer arrojar a su hijo, de unos cinco años, desde el quinto o sexto piso para salvarlo de las llamas.

“Lo lanzó por la ventana y creo que está bien”, le dijo a la radio británica LBC.

“Creo que tan sólo debe tener unos cuantos huesos rotos y algunas contusiones”, añadió.

“¡Solo salven a mis hijos!”

Muchos residentes del edificio estaban “en las ventanas, golpeándolas frenéticamente y gritando”, según Lamrani.

“Queríamos tranquilizarlos, diciéndoles que habíamos hecho lo que podíamos, que llamamos al 999 (número de emergencias en Londres), pero obviamente la expresión de la muerte en sus cara”, explicó.

Según algunos testigos, el incendio se propagó en cuestión de minutos por todo el edificio de 24 pisos.

Tamara, otra testigo del incendio, le dijo a la BBC que también otras personas estaban “lanzando a sus hijos”, pese a que los bomberos les pedían que se quedaran donde estaban.

“¡Solo salven a mis hijos, solo salven a mis hijos!”, gritaban.

Según Tamara, las llamas tomaron el edificio en cuestión de segundos.

“No había mucho que pudieras hacer. Acordonaron la zona y solo se veían las cosas caer desde la parte más alta del edificio”.

Michael Paramasivan dijo a la BBC que habló con una mujer que vivía en el piso 21: “Ella tiene seis hijos, se fue con los seis. Cuando bajó solo había cuatro con ella. Ahora su corazón está roto”.

Ecuador inició este jueves un programa para ayudar a través de empleos y créditos a los 12.000 connacionales para facilitar su reinserción laboral, explicó la subsecretaria de la Comunidad Ecuatoriana Migrante de la Cancillería, Jeanneth Sosa.

Decenas de migrantes acudieron a las instalaciones del Ministerio de Deporte ecuatoriano en busca de capacitación y de ayuda en sus trámites para la revalidación de sus títulos obtenidos en el exterior.

La canciller de Ecuador, María Fernanda Espinosa, indicó que construirá el plan nacional de los migrantes en conjunto con ellos. Recordó además que el gobierno de la Revolución Ciudadana otorgó derechos políticos a los migrantes que actualmente tienen representación política en la Asamblea Nacional y que es su prioridad darles empleo. 

Aseguró que las deudas hipotecarias de los migrantes en España no serán transferidas a la banca privada nacional y que se seguirá apoyando a los ecuatorianos en el exterior con asesoría legal. Este respaldo será para las madres que perdieron a sus hijos en Italia y los ecuatorianos en Estados Unidos que tengan dificultades migratorias.  

Los representantes del Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores y Trabajo del Ecuador firmaron un convenio para garantizar y promover la inclusión laboral de las personas en situación de movilidad.

El ministro del Trabajo precisó que este año se abrirán más de 52.000 concursos públicos de méritos y oposición y los migrantes tendrán puntos afirmativos frente al resto de personas que participen. Comentó que existen alianzas público- privadas a las que se les solicitó priorizar a los migrantes retornados una categoría que se incluirá en la red SocioEmpleo.

Suspects arrested in last week’s spree of eight anti-Semitic attacks are being quickly released right back into the neighborhoods they terrorized thanks to “bail reform” legislation — which doesn’t even take effect until Jan. 1.

The most recent case of revolving-door justice came Saturday morning, with the release, with no bail, of a woman charged with punching and cursing at three Orthodox women, ages 22, 26 and 31, in Crown Heights, Brooklyn at dawn the day before.

The accused assailant, Tiffany Harris, was hauled in handcuffs before a Brooklyn judge on 21 menacing, harassment and attempted assault charges.

“F-U, Jews!” Harris, 30, of Flatbush, allegedly shouted during the attack.

“Yes, I was there,” Harris later admitted to cops, according to the criminal complaint against her.

“Yes, I slapped them. I cursed them out. I said ‘F-U, Jews.”

As she stood before a judge in Brooklyn Criminal Court with the hood to a navy blue jacket over her head, Harris was in familiar territory.

She still has an open harassment and assault case on the Brooklyn docket from November 2018.

And last month, she was sentenced to no jail time for felony criminal mischief in Manhattan, court records show — a case for which she had repeatedly failed to make court appearances.

Brooklyn prosecutors didn’t even bother requesting bail Saturday, as they could have, given that the reform law, approved in April, technically doesn’t take effect until Jan. 1.

“The de Blasio administration has made it clear that we all need to get into compliance with bail reform now,” said a law enforcement source.

“If prosecutors had asked for bail, corrections would release them immediately,” or they would be sprung on Jan. 1, the source said.

But the de Blasio administration responded that the DOC does nothing without a court order and can’t decide to release anyone.

Brooklyn Criminal Court Judge Laura Johnson even made mention of the coming bail reform legislation in ordering Harris freed.

“So I’m releasing her on consent and also because it will be required under the statute in just a few days,” the judge said.

“Ms. Harris you’re being released on your own recognizance.”

She was issued an order of protection barring contact with the three victims — and a court date of Jan. 10.

Harris broke into a grin when approached by a reporter. “Why do you want to know?” she said. ”Goodbye.”

The legislation requires arraignment judges to set free suspects in any non-sexual assault that doesn’t actually cause a physical injury, even in cases of hate crime attacks.

“If there is an injury, then bail could be requested, because then it would be considered a violent felony,” explained Insha Rahman, who, as director of strategy and new initiatives at the Vera Institute of Justice, worked closely with legislators and the governor’s office in drafting the controversial reforms.

The no-injury loophole will mean a quick get-out-of-jail-free card for all but one of the accused attackers in the eight Hanukkah-timed, anti-Semitic bias crimes that have terrified the city’s Orthodox communities.

“You have to beat the hell out of somebody — or murder them — for there to be any consequences,” said former state lawmaker Dov Hikind, founder of Americans Against Anti-Semitism. “Otherwise, you are set free.”

He continued: “It’s open season in New York — open season on innocent people. On Jews, on Muslims, on gay people. It applies to anybody. But it’s the Jewish people in particular who have been targeted.”

Only one of last week’s eight attacks resulted in an actual physical injury — that of a 65-year-old Jewish man who was punched and kicked on Monday morning at East 41st Street and Third Avenue in Manhattan.

“F–k you, Jew bastard!” the petrified victim told cops his assailant shouted.

The suspect in that crime, Steven Jorge, 28, is indeed alleged to have injured his victim, and so was ordered locked up with no bail pending a psychological examination.

Jorge, though, is the exception.

On Friday night, a suspect in another of the hate attacks was similarly sprung with no bail, though in her case she was at least ordered to attend twice-monthly mental health appointments.

“You f—king Jew, the end is coming for you!” that suspect, Ayana Logan, 43, allegedly shouted as she swung a handbag at a 34-year-old Orthodox mom in Gravesend.

The mother had been holding the hand of her 3-year-old son when the unprovoked attack happened, according to the criminal court complaint against Logan.

By Saturday night, Logan, Harris, and Jorge remained the only suspects apprehended in the hate spree. The assailants in the remaining five attacks remain at large.

Rahman and other reformers argue that the vast majority of suspects in minor assaults are quickly released anyway — and that the new bail reform lets judges set conditions for release that can address the underlying mental health issues.

“That can be mental health counseling, a stay-away order, which wasn’t readily available before, as conditions for release,” said Rahman.

Suspects are getting none of that during their pretrial stays in city jails, Rahman noted.

“Money bail, and keeping someone temporarily detained with no care, doesn’t address at all the long term concerns” of community safety and the well-being of suspects, she said.

But in the city’s Orthodox neighborhoods, there was outrage in learning that even when violent bigots are caught, they’ll be immediately released.

“They were released on no bail?” a 32-year-old Orthodox man asked a Post reporter near where the three women were attacked. “Disgusting.”

Steve Benjamin, 30, of Borough Park, said, “We’re scared to walk at night in the street.

“There is a lot of hate here and I don’t know why. People in the community are scared. It’s very dangerous. It’s just like remembering the days before World War II. I don’t let my kids out alone.

“It should be more justice — they arrest them, but they let them out of jail a day later.”

Kendrick Castillo, 18, was killed in the shooting at his school

A teenager died in a shooting at a Colorado high school – days before his graduation – while charging one of the attackers, his classmates say.

Eighteen-year-old Kendrick Castillo was the only fatality in Tuesday’s assault allegedly by two students near Denver.

Eight other pupils were injured before the assailants were arrested.

The attack took place just 8km (5 miles) from Columbine High School, the site of one of the country’s most notorious shootings 20 years ago.

America’s latest school shooting unfolded at the STEM – science, technology, engineering and math – School Highlands Ranch in an affluent suburb of Denver.

‘I wish he had gone and hid’

Classmate Nui Giasolli told US media she was in her British literature class when one of the suspects turned up late and pulled out a gun.

Kendrick lunged at the gunman, “giving us all enough time to get underneath our desks to get ourselves safe, to run across the room to escape”, she said.

John Castillo, Kendrick’s father, described him as “the best kid in the world”, in an interview with the Denver Post.

He said it was not surprising to him that Kendrick was said to have charged one of the shooters as they entered a classroom.

“I wish he had gone and hid,” said Mr Castillo, “but that’s not his character.

“His character is about protecting people, helping people.”

Kendrick was an only child. Mr Castillo said he and his wife are “in a haze”.

The 18-year-old was passionate about science and robotics.

He was going to study at a local college in the autumn, planning to major in engineering, his father said.

Another STEM senior, Brendan Bialy, is also being praised as a hero for helping subdue one of the gunmen.

Brendan is a recruit for the US Marine Corps but was not trained specifically on active shooter protocols.

Marine Capt Michael Maggitti said in a statement that Brendan’s admirable courage “resulted in the safety and protection of his teachers and fellow classmates”.

Kendrick and Brendan are not the only examples of student heroism recently during a shooting.

Last month at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, a 21-year-old student, Riley Howell, died while tackling a gunman, buying classmates crucial moments to escape, said police.

Devon Erickson, 18, has been named as one of the suspects

How did the Colorado shooting unfold?

Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock said the attack happened just before 14:00 local time (20:00 GMT) on Tuesday.

He told reporters the two attackers came in through an entrance that did not have a metal detector and attacked students in two locations.

Both suspects were pupils at the charter school.

There were around 1,800 students on campus at the time of the attack, Sheriff Spurlock said.

Officers arrived on scene within minutes.

“We did struggle with the suspects to take them into custody,” the sheriff said.

What is known about the suspects?

Police initially misidentified the younger one – a juvenile not named by police – as male.

“We originally thought the juvenile was a male by appearance,” Sheriff Spurlock said.

He declined to comment on local media reports that the suspect is transgender and transitioning from female to male.

The other suspect has been identified by police as 18-year-old Devon Erickson.

He made his first court appearance on Wednesday, facing one count of first-degree murder and 29 of attempted first-degree murder.

The defendant hung his head as he sat between two lawyers.

The sheriff said it is not yet clear if anyone was deliberately targeted. Search warrants have been issued for both suspects’ homes.

One student at the school told CBS News Mr Erickson had talked about inflicting harm and sadness.

“I always thought he was just messing around and stuff, but sometimes he did hint at it here and there,” Michael Schwartz said.

One parent, named in local media as Fernando Montoya, said his 17-year-old son was shot three times and wounded.

“He said a guy pulled a pistol out of a guitar case and started to shoot,” Mr Montoya told ABC affiliate Denver 7.

Josh Dutton, 18, told AP news agency he used to be friends with Mr Erickson at a former school but had not seen him in four years.

He said he bumped into Mr Erickson, who was wearing all black, at a railway station on Sunday and he was much thinner and did not seem interested in talking.
