    During a panel discussion on immigration enforcement Tuesday night, experts said citizens can also challenge local police departments’ use of security technology from companies like Flock Security, which allows Immigration and Customs Enforcement to access license plate data collected by local law enforcement.

  • Markey blasts ‘inadequate’ conditions at ICE facility

    [ad_1]

    BOSTON — Sen. Ed Markey is renewing criticism of federal authorities for “inhumane” conditions at a Burlington ICE facility where people detained on immigration violations are held before being transferred to other locations.

    In a letter to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Boston acting Field Office Director David Wesling, Markey said after a meeting with him and other officials Dec. 11 he “continues to be alarmed by the allegations of overcrowding and inadequate conditions” at the Burlington facility, “as well as by ICE’s arrest dragnet.”

  • Pope Leo Heads to Turkey and Lebanon for His First Foreign Trip

    [ad_1]

    ISTANBUL—After a low-profile start to his pontificate, Pope Leo XIV is stepping into the limelight.

    The first American pope begins his first foreign trip on Thursday, touring Turkey and Lebanon. It is a chance for him to set out his spiritual and geopolitical vision after six months as pontiff, notable for its relative quiet after years of turbulence in the Catholic Church.

  • U.K. Follows Europe and U.S. in Crackdown on Asylum Seekers

    [ad_1]

    LONDON—The U.K. government on Monday announced an overhaul of its immigration policy to deter asylum seekers from arriving on British shores, the latest European nation to tighten rules in response to growing dissatisfaction from voters at levels of illegal immigration.

    The Labour government of Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced a suite of policies including changing laws to make it easier to expel migrants, quadrupling the length of time they have to wait to become permanent residents to 20 years and regularly reviewing whether their home countries have become safer and can take them back.

    [ad_1]

    FORT BRANCH — Steve Obert felt deep concern in June watching reports of ICE agents raiding a New Mexico dairy farm. Officers arrested 11 immigrant workers who, authorities say, misused documents such as counterfeit green cards.

    With half its staff gone, the farm scrambled to milk and care for the cows, threatening the survival of both the operation and the animals.

  • GOP hopefuls vow to ban ‘sanctuary’ laws

    [ad_1]

    BOSTON — A pair of Republicans challenging Democratic Gov. Maura Healey in next year’s gubernatorial election are vowing to push for a statewide ban on “sanctuary” policies if elected, arguing that the state’s immigrant-friendly laws have made it a magnet for the undocumented.

    Republicans Mike Kennealy, who served as former Gov. Charlie Baker’s housing and economic development secretary, and Brian Shortsleeve, a former MBTA head and venture capitalist, are vying for the GOP’s nomination to challenge Healey next year.

  • Report: Mass. taxpayer exodus continues

    Report: Mass. taxpayer exodus continues

    [ad_1]

    BOSTON — Massachusetts lost more than $3.8 billion in state-adjusted gross income between 2021 and 2022 as residents fled to New Hampshire, Florida and other low-tax states, according to new Internal Revenue Service data.

    The IRS data, based on income tax returns, shows the Bay State lost a net of more than 45,000 residents in the 2021 and 2022 calendar years – taking with them more than $3.9 billion in taxable income. That’s the fifth highest rate of domestic outmigration in the nation following New York, Illinois, New Jersey and California.

    New Hampshire and Florida were the biggest beneficiaries of Massachusetts’ transplants, the IRS data shows. More than 18,189 people moved from New York to Florida, taking $1.4 billion. An additional 23,596 Bay Staters moved to Florida, bringing more than $2.8 billion in income with them, according to the IRS.

    The Pioneer Institute, a Boston-based think tank, says the data shows the largest cohort to flee Massachusetts were 26- to 35 year-olds, with 9,500 more tax filers leaving than coming into Massachusetts in 2022, more than five times the number a decade earlier.

    “This loss of young talent hinders the state’s future innovation and economic growth, which will compound over decades,” said Mary Connaughton, Pioneer’s director of government transparency. “The cost of housing is a leading factor and the recent housing bill is not enough to address this critical challenge.”

    “We need more innovative solutions at the local level to adequately boost the state’s housing supply,” she added.

    The report is the latest in the series that highlights how Massachusetts’ population is shrinking despite a continuing influx of new arrivals, many through immigration.

    Still, the state’s outmigration appears to be slowing, with about 18,000 fewer residents leaving the state in 2023 than in 2022 – a 31% drop, according to the latest census data, released in May.

    Experts say the outmigration has less to do with politics than it does with a lack of housing, prevailing wages and access to employment.

    But federal data shows the population decline has major implications for the states, revenue and tax collections. The state has seen its revenue benchmarks from tax collections fall short over the past year.

    Massachusetts lost an estimated $4.3 billion in state-adjusted gross income in 2020-21 tax year as residents fled to other low-tax states, according to the latest IRS figures.

    On Beacon Hill, state leaders have approved proposals to cut taxes and reduce the state’s high cost of living as part of a broader effort to stop outward migration and make the state more attractive to new families and businesses.

    Gov. Maura Healey, a first-term Democrat, has expressed concerns about the exodus of residents and businesses in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Healey has pointed to a lack of housing as a primary reason people are leaving the state, making the case for expanding stock and making homes more affordable. She acknowledged the impact of the housing crunch on outmigration at an event in Lowell, where she and other officials announced $27 million in tax credits for new housing developments in Salem, Lawrence and Haverhill and other “Gateway” cities.

    “I love New Hampshire, but I want people to stay here in Massachusetts,” Healey said in remarks Tuesday. “I don’t want them going north of the border.”

    But critics point to the state’s high tax burden, including the voter-approved “millionaires tax” that set a new 4% surtax for people with incomes above $1 million a year. They say despite a tax reform package signed by Healey last year, the state needs to do more to ease the burden on residents and businesses.

    Others say concerns about outmigration are overblown and point out that people leave the state for new jobs, college and other reasons other than consternation over high taxes, the cost of living or the lack of affordable homes.

    A 2023 report by the left-leaning policy group Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center says IRS data from 2020 to 2021 shows that Massachusetts has a lower rate of outmigration among high-income households earning $200,000 or more a year than that of low- and middle-income households.

    The report’s authors say that data suggests state tax levels have had “little impact” on the decisions of high-income households.

  • Healey team to dissuade migrants at border

    Healey team to dissuade migrants at border

    [ad_1]

    BOSTON — Gov. Maura Healey is dispatching members of her administration to the U.S.-Mexico border in an effort to dissuade asylum seekers from coming to the state amid an ongoing surge of immigration.

    The Healey administration announced Tuesday that a state delegation is headed to the southern border to meet with officials from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Joint Task Force-North, relocation agencies and families “to educate them about the lack of shelter availability.”

    Retired Gen. Scott Rice, the state’s emergency assistance director, said the purpose of the trip is “to meet with families arriving in the U.S. and the organizations that work with them at the border to make sure they have accurate information about the lack of shelter space in Massachusetts.”

    “It is essential that we get the word out that our shelters are full so that families can plan accordingly to make sure they have a safe place to go,” he said in a statement.

    The delegation, which includes state emergency management officials and representatives from refugee organizations, is expected to visit several Texas communities along the border this week, including San Antonio, Hidalgo, McAllen and Brownsville, according to the Healey administration.

    Those border communities have been identified as the primary waypoints for migrants heading to Massachusetts after entering the country.

    The move comes as the state continues to see an influx of migrants that has pushed its emergency shelter system to the brink of collapse.

    Healey declared a state of emergency last August and deployed the National Guard to help deal with the influx. Her administration also set a 7,500-family cap on the number of people eligible for emergency housing in October. Hundreds of families are currently on a waiting list for housing.

    The governor signed a bill limiting migrants to nine months in emergency shelter, with up to two 90-day extensions for veterans, pregnant women and those in work training programs. The first round of eviction notices, covering 150 families, are set to go out in the next week, officials said.

    The bill also pumped an additional $251 million into the shelter system to cover housing, food and other costs. The state expects to spend about $1 billion this year on migrants. Pleas from state leaders for additional federal funds from the Biden administration have gone largely unanswered.

    Republicans and conservative groups have long argued that the state’s right-to-shelter law — which requires it to offer temporary housing regardless of immigration status — is drawing migrants here. They have pressed Healey to suspend the law, set residency requirements or significantly scale back its provisions.

    Amy Carnevale, chairwoman of the state Republican Party, called Healey’s move to dispatch officials to the southern border a “publicity stunt” that won’t reduce the influx of migrants. Carnevale said there’s a “disconnect” between Healey’s words and actions, and because of “political pride and partisanship” she refuses to take the “necessary steps” to solve the roots of the migrant crisis.

    “They can engage in rhetoric and publicity stunts all they want, but without concrete steps to limit access to emergency housing, nothing will change,” Carnevale said in a statement. “To stop incentivizing migrants from coming to the commonwealth, the right to shelter law must be amended to restrict program access based on the duration of residency in the commonwealth.”

    Paul Craney, a spokesman for the conservative Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance, said Healey’s decision to send a delegation of “midlevel bureaucrats on a field trip instead of going herself will not solve the problem.”

    “If the governor wants to send a message, the best way to do that is simply by removing the state’s very generous right to shelter law and welfare benefits to nonresidents,” Craney said.

    The Healey administration contends that workforce development and rehousing programs have resulted in a “steady increase” in families leaving the shelter system. About 3,700 individuals in shelters have qualified for federal work authorization, the administration said, with 1,114 placed in jobs.

    But the decision to dispatch a delegation to the border to dissuade migrants from heading to Massachusetts shows the influx of new arrivals is continuing to stress the state’s emergency shelter system.

    The tactic is similar to one used by New York City Mayor Eric Adams, whose administration distributed flyers at the U.S.-Mexico border last July telling newly arrived migrants to “consider another city” because there is “no guarantee we will be able to provide shelter and services to new arrivals.”

    New York is required to provide shelter for those without homes, regardless of their immigration status, under a decades-old consent decree stemming from a class-action lawsuit. The city has seen an influx of more than 180,000 migrants over the past year, with about 65,000 under its care.

  • NAACP and other civil-rights groups issue Florida travel advisories

    ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The NAACP over the weekend issued a travel advisory for Florida, joining two other civil rights groups in warning potential tourists that recent laws and policies championed by Gov. Ron DeSantis and Florida lawmakers are “openly hostile toward African Americans, people of color and LGBTQ+ individuals.”

    The NAACP, long an advocate for Black Americans, joined the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), a Latino civil-rights organization, and Equality Florida, a gay-rights advocacy group, in issuing travel advisories for the Sunshine State, where tourism is one of the state’s largest job sectors.

    The warning approved Saturday by the NAACP’s board of directors tells tourists that, before traveling to Florida, they should understand the state of Florida “devalues and marginalizes the contributions of, and the challenges faced by African Americans and other communities of color.”

    An email was sent Sunday morning to DeSantis’s office seeking comment. DeSantis is expected to announce a run for the GOP presidential nomination this week.

    See: Busy, and bellicose, legislative session winds down in Florida. Now it’s decision time for DeSantis.

    Florida is one of the most popular states in the U.S. for tourists, and tourism is one of its biggest industries. More than 137.5 million tourists visited Florida last year, marking a return to pre-pandemic levels, according to Visit Florida, the state’s tourism promotion agency. Tourism supports 1.6 million full-time and part-time jobs, and visitors spent $98.8 billion in Florida in 2019, the last year figures are available.

    The NAACP’s decision comes after the DeSantis’s administration in January rejected the College Board’s Advanced Placement African American Studies course. DeSantis and Republican lawmakers also have pressed forward with measures that ban state colleges from having programs on diversity, equity and inclusion, as well as critical race theory, and also passed the Stop WOKE Act that restricts certain race-based conversations and analysis in schools and businesses.

    In its warning for Hispanic travelers considering a visit to Florida, LULAC cited a new law that prohibits local governments from providing money to organizations that issue identification cards to people illegally in the country and invalidates out-of-state driver’s licenses held by undocumented immigrants, among other things.

    The law also requires hospitals that accept Medicaid to include a citizenship question on intake forms, which critics have said is intended to dissuade immigrants living in the U.S. illegally from seeking medical care.

    “The actions taken by Gov. DeSantis have created a shadow of fear within communities across the state,” said Lydia Medrano, a LULAC vice president for the Southeast region.

    Recent efforts to limit discussion on LGBTQ topics in schools, the removal of books with gay characters from school libraries, a recent ban on gender-affirming care for minors, new restrictions on abortion access and a law allowing Floridians to carry concealed guns without a permit contributed to Equality Florida’s warning.

    “Taken in their totality, Florida’s slate of laws and policies targeting basic freedoms and rights pose a serious risk to the health and safety of those traveling to the state,” Equality Florida’s advisory said.

  • China stops issuing visas to Japanese and South Korean visitors as spat over test mandates for Chinese tourists widens

    China stops issuing visas to Japanese and South Korean visitors as spat over test mandates for Chinese tourists widens

    China stopped issuing visas for visitors from Japan and South Korea on Tuesday in apparent retaliation for COVID-testing measures imposed on travelers from China, the Associated Press reported. 

    China had warned it would take action against countries that mandate testing for its citizens, who are now free to travel after the government lifted strict restrictions on movement last month, unleashing a wave of new cases.

    At least 10 countries in Europe, North America and Asia have imposed test requirements recently, with officials expressing concern about a lack of information about the Chinese outbreak and the potential for new virus variants to emerge.

    Japan and South Korea protested the visa stoppage, the AP reported separately on Wednesday.

    South Korean Foreign Minister Park Jin said he finds it “significantly regrettable” that China stopped issuing short-term visas to South Koreans and called for China to align its pandemic steps with “scientific and objective facts.”

    Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno criticized China for “one-sidedly” restricting visa issuances to Japanese nationals “because of a reason that is not related to COVID-19 measures.”

    In the U.S., the seven-day average of new cases stood at 63,982 on Tuesday, according to a New York Times tracker. That’s down 4% from two weeks ago and below the recent peak of 70,508 on Christmas Eve.

    The daily average for hospitalizations was up 15% to 46,900. In an alarming statistic, the average for deaths stood at 580, up 50% from two weeks ago.

    Cases are currently rising in 22 states, as well as Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Northern Mariana Islands. In Maryland, cases are up 170% from two weeks ago.

    On a per capita basis, New Jersey and Rhode Island are showing the highest rates, with New Jersey recording 32 cases per 100,000 residents and Rhode Island 31.

    Cases are also high on a per capita basis in North Carolina and South Carolina, as well as Mississippi and Florida.

    Other COVID-19 news you should know about:

    • Cyprus has joined the list of countries mandating COVID testing for tourists from China, the AP reported. The health ministry said it was heeding the advice of the European Union’s executive arm in requiring passengers from China to submit results from a PCR test taken 48 hours before their departure. The ministry also recommended the use of protective face masks on all flights to and from Cyprus as well as in any areas where people gather in large numbers.

    • The Chinese air-travel regulator is preparing to allow airlines to fly more routes between China and the U.S. following the lifting of COVID travel restrictions, state TV reported Wednesday, as the AP reported. U.S. and Chinese airlines are among some 40 carriers that have submitted applications covering some 700 flights per week involving 34 countries, China Central Television reported on its website. It gave no timeline for when normal flights might resume.

    • The Pentagon formally dropped its COVID-19 vaccination mandate Tuesday, but a new memo signed by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin also gives commanders some discretion in how or whether to deploy troops who are not vaccinated, the AP reported. Austin’s memo has been widely anticipated since Dec. 23, when a new law gave him 30 days to rescind the mandate. The Defense Department had already stopped all related personnel actions, such as discharging service members who refused the shot. “The Department will continue to promote and encourage COVID-19 vaccination for all service members,” Austin said in the memo. “Vaccination enhances operational readiness and protects the force.”

    Here’s what the numbers say:

    The global tally of confirmed cases of COVID-19 topped 665.3 million on Wednesday, while the death toll rose above 6.7 million, according to data aggregated by Johns Hopkins University.

    The U.S. leads the world with 101.3 million cases and 1,097,660 fatalities.

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s tracker shows that 229.3 million people living in the U.S., equal to 69.1% of the total population, are fully vaccinated, meaning they have had their primary shots.

    So far, just 48.2 million Americans, equal to 15.4% of the overall population, have had the updated COVID booster that targets both the original virus and the omicron variants.
