According to the Department of Homeland Security, 57,000 Central American children, mostly from Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador, have crossed the US boarder since October. This number is twice as high as the number of the same period from the previous year and ten times as high as the number of 2009. The children that survive the dangerous journey are fleeing from poverty and crime in their countries, hoping to have
a better life here, or to reunite with parts of their family who are already in the US. Some parents send their children because they believe rumors that their kids will be allowed to stay in the US once they crossed the border. In 2008, former President George W. Bush signed the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act – a law to fight child/sex trafficking. Whereas Mexicans or Canadians are simply sent back across
the border, this bill grants Central American kids a court hearing to determine whether they are allowed to stay or not. Due to the enormous number of immigrants, and thus, court cases, the children often have to wait years on the decision – years that they spend in processing facilities of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Some children do not even show up in court. Please see page 3
Angler will not be cited by CDFW for hooking white shark from Manhattan Beach Pier The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) today announced they found no evidence state fishing laws were violated by an angler who hooked a white shark from the Manhattan Beach Pier. An investigation including evidence from videos, social me-
dia and personal interviews did not provide proof there was intent by the angler to target white sharks. It is legal to fish for the many species of sharks, rays and other fish that frequent the waters surrounding the pier using the same techniques used that day.
