In a rebuke to President Trump, Gov. Newsom pardons refugees facing deportation

In a rebuke to President Trump, Gov. Newsom pardons refugees facing deportation

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday pardoned seven former felons, including two Cambodian refugees the Trump administration wants to deport, in his first acts of clemency since the Democrat took office in January.

Newsom adopted a policy of his predecessor, former Gov. Jerry Brown, to use his state constitutional authority to issue pardons to shield immigrants targeted by federal immigration officials.

.......

One of the Cambodian refugees pardoned by Newsom, Hay Hov of Oakland, was taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials in March.

Hov, a naturalized citizen who arrived in the United States in 1985 as a legal refugee when he was 6, was convicted of solicitation to commit murder and participation in a criminal street gang in 2001, when he was 21, according to the Newsom administration.

The other refugee, Kang Hen of San Francisco, like Hov, fled to the San Francisco Bay Area with his family to escape the Cambodian genocide in the 1980s. Hen was convicted of grand theft in 1994 when he was 18. Kang, who has a 4-year-old son and partner with kidney and heart problems, was taken into custody by ICE in April.

Both Hov and Kang are being processed for deportation to Cambodia. The pardons do not automatically end a deportation effort, but remove the underlying criminal offense that triggered the federal removal actions.

California leaves the Union starting a mass exodus of other regions and states. A new Confederacy is formed. One could hope.

A San Francisco teacher on extended sick leave due to breast cancer has had to pay for her own substitute, sparking a nationwide outcry over the policy. The average cost for a substitute in the city is $200 (£150) per day, which gets deducted from the sick teacher's salary, thanks to a 1976 state law.

Wow £150. That's a lot.

Essentially if you exhaust your sick days and there is no official "sick bank" you can contribute to or are a member of then yes you are basically on leave without pay. This is what a lot of workers face around the country if the same happens to them. It shouldn't happen and its sad but it does. To correct the medical crisis for American citizens you'd have to have a form of socialism and most people have a distaste for that too so its a bit of dog eat world out here. What can you say? Get unlucky , get hurt/sick and you are ruined.

Socialism and insurance isn't the same thing. Even if it is a collective insurance.

Its a bit of parsing hairs here with definitions. Collective insurance is a policy of socialism. I'm not inherently against it like I thought was clear in my above statement. Its a tough spot to be in really. There is no easy solution and like I said a strong nation should consider taking care of its sick people.

Nonsense. We should shuffle them off into substandard care facilities, or bankrupt them, lest they get in the way of paying customers.
