COUNTY URGES RESIDENTS TO PREPARE FOR EL NIÑO

Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation on Aug. 22 designed to protect immigration service providers and humanitarian volunteers from targeted harassment, doxing and violence.

VOICE & VIEWPOINT NEWSWIRE

Authored by Assemblymember Mia Bonta (D-Oakland), Assembly Bill (AB) 2624, the Privacy for Immigration Support Services Providers Act, establishes an address confidentiality program modeled after California’s Safe at Home program.

Ahead of the rainy season, San Diego County News Center reports that City of San Diego emergency officials are urging San Diegans to take steps now to prepare for a potentially very strong El Niño climate pattern that could bring heavy rain and flooding this winter. Residents and property owners are encouraged to know their flood risk, create an emergency plan and sign up for emergency alerts to help protect themselves and their families.

In San Diego, 15,000 acres and more than 6,900 structures are located in FEMA-designated flood hazard areas. Flooding can occur outside designated flood zones, so property owners and renters are encouraged to consider flood insurance. Through the City’s participation in the National Flood Insurance Program, thousands of eligible local property owners and renters receive access to a 15% discount on flood insurance premiums. See EL NIÑO page 2

“AB 2624 is fundamentally about freedom — the freedom from fear that lets our immigrant service providers do their jobs, and the freedom of the press to do their jobs without ever being conflated with the doxing this bill actually targets,” Bonta stated. “Those two freedoms were never in tension. Right now, our immigrant service providers are living in fear because of extremists looking to demonize the work that they do and the populations they serve.” See IMMIGRATION AID page 2

KIMBERLÉ CRENSHAW: A VOICE FOR JUSTICE By The Positive Community

Kimberlé Crenshaw is an Ameri-can civil rights scholar, lawyer, and professor whose work has profoundly influenced the way people understand race, gender, and inequality. She is best known for developing the concept of intersectionality, a framework that explains how different forms of discrimination can overlap and affect people in distinct ways.

PHOTO: Wikimedia Commons

Crenshaw was born in Canton, Ohio, and went on to earn degrees from Cornell University, Harvard

Law School, and the University of Wisconsin Law School. Her academic and legal career has focused heavily on civil rights and the experiences of people who face discrimination because of multiple aspects of their identity.

The idea of intersectionality became particularly important through Crenshaw’s legal scholarship. She argued that traditional approaches to discrimination sometimes treated race and gender as separate issues, making it difficult to recognize the experiences of Black women, who could face discrimination specifically because

they were both Black and women.

Crenshaw introduced the term “intersectionality” in her influential 1989 legal article examining the experiences of Black women in employment discrimination cases. Her argument was that the law needed to recognize how different systems of discrimination could intersect rather than examining each form of discrimination in isolation.

understood by looking only at discrimination against Black people or discrimination against women. Their experiences occupied an intersection where race and gender could operate together, creating forms of discrimination that might otherwise remain invisible. See CRENSHAW page 2

Weber spoke Aug. 18 at the UC Student and Policy Center in Sacramento as part of its California Leaders Speaker Series. She encouraged eligible Californians to participate in the election and avoid waiting until the last minute to return their ballots.

Their discussion focused on election integrity, leadership and the future of democracy. Weber described California’s voting process as a “special system” that empowers people while requiring election officials to manage complex logistical, security and communications responsibilities.

Hours after Weber spoke, U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) held a news conference about a mile away at California Democratic Party headquarters to launch a campaign opposing Proposition (Prop) 39, the voter identification measure on the November ballot.

GREAT MIGRATION Continued from cover

According to the Pew Research Center, the USA’s Black population has grown from 36.2 million in 2000 to 49.2 million in 2024. What’s interesting is that the numbers have increased fastest in states that historically have not had many Black residents.

What Is the Reverse Migration of African Americans? The reverse Great Migration is the ongoing movement of many Black Americans from Northern, Midwestern, and Western states back to the South. This started in the late 20th century and is continuing today. Black Americans moved during the Great Migration because they wanted to escape segregation and find industrial work, but today’s movement is for different reasons. It reflects a broader mix of economic, social, and cultural factors. Many people are relocating to metropolitan areas with expanding industries, diverse employment opportunities, and growing Black middle-class communities. This trend is a demographic shift that’s reshaping where Black Americans live, work, and build wealth, while also influencing political representation, housing markets, and regional economic growth.

Why Is Reverse Migration Happening? Black Americans are moving to the South because of several factors. The first is that many Northern and Midwestern cities experienced manufacturing declines and slower job growth after the late 29th century, while Southern metropolitan areas attracted businesses in healthcare, technology, logistics, finance, and professional services.

offering lower home prices and living costs than places like New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles. Many people take advantage of a nationwide moving network as part of their relocation planning to cut down on costs and save up for their dream homes in the South. Other factors that further influence relocation decisions include: • Climate preferences • Retirement • Opportunity to live closer to extended family Improved civil rights protections compared with the early 20th century have also made many Southern communities more attractive than they were during the original Great Migration.

How Reverse Migration Is Changing Southern Communities The return of Black Americans has contributed to significant changes across many Southern cities and suburbs. Growing populations have supported the expansion of Black-owned businesses, as well as professional organizations, cultural institutions, and civic leadership. Many metropolitan areas have seen increased demand for housing, schools, and public infrastructure as populations grow. Reverse migration has also strengthened political influence in some regions, and this affects local elections and community advocacy. At the same time, rapid growth has introduced new challenges. They include: • Rising housing costs • Suburban expansion • Concerns about displacement in some neighborhoods

“It’s another voter suppression bill,” Padilla said. “Donald Trump and his MAGA allies are trying to bring their fight here to California, and we’re not going to let them. They know that they’re

How Reverse Migration Is Influencing Black Wealth and Homeownership One of the less-discussed effects of reverse migration is its connection to wealth building and homeownership. Several Southern metropolitan areas have historically offered lower entry prices for housing than major Northern coastal cities, and this allows some families to purchase homes earlier or buy larger properties. For households moving from high-cost regions, selling a home or relocating with accumulated savings can provide additional financial flexibility. This has contributed to a growth in Black homeownership in certain Southern suburbs and emerging metropolitan corridors. This may also support intergenerational wealth transfer, as property ownership can create assets that are passed to children and grandchildren. The outcome isn’t uniform everywhere, though. Rising demand in some fast-growing cities has led to increasing home prices, making affordability a continuing challenge for many new residents.

Where Are Black People Moving To? Many Black Americans are migrating to: • Atlanta • Houston • Dallas • Charlotte • Raleigh • Nashville • Orlando • Washington, DC

about to pay a price for their horrible record.” Weber said, “It’s not the fact that voter IDs are bad. The question becomes, don't we already have it?” Weber said the state’s existing multistep verification process, which begins with voter registration and includes signature verification for mail-in ballots, provides sufficient election safeguards. “We do have to verify every piece of mail. We have to make sure that you are actually the person submitting that ballot,” Weber said. Some people are also moving to suburban areas rather than traditional urban neighborhoods since they’re looking for larger homes, better schools, or more affordable living.

How Many Black People Moved During the Great Migration? According to the National Archives, around 6 million Black people moved from the American South to Northern, Midwestern, and Western states during the Great Migration, which was between 1910 and 1970. The first wave happened between 1910 and 1940, and around 1.6 million people relocated. The second wave occurred between 1940 and 1970, and roughly 5 million more people moved. Major destinations included: Chicago, Detroit, New York, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Los Angeles, and Oakland. This migration reshaped the demographic, economic, and political landscape of the US. Many families wanted to escape Jim Crow segregation, as well as racial violence, voter suppression, and limited educational opportunities. In addition, moving north offered the possibility of: • Better wages • Greater political participation • Access to expanding urban communities

Why Did So Many Black People Stay in the South?

Family ties were one of the strongest reasons. Some Black farmers and business owners had established livelihoods they didn’t want to abandon, while others lacked the financial resources needed to relocate.

Reverse Great Migration Is Driving Black Americans Back to Familiar Places

Housing affordability has also played an important role, with many Southern cities

The trend demonstrates that migration isn’t simply about changing addresses; it also shapes local economies, cultural life, entrepreneurship, and long-term community development.

This is because there are expanding job markets, as well as relatively lower housing costs than in several coastal cities. Plus, there are growing Black professional communities in these areas.

A reverse Great Migration is happening, and it’s creating some major shifts in many areas. Not only is it changing demographics, but it’s also shaping new political and economic trends.

Beginning Oct. 1, 2027, eligible immigration service providers, employees and volunteers who face documented threats will be able to apply through Secretary of State Shirley N. Weber’s office to use a substitute address. The law also provides legal remedies against individuals or groups that publish protected workers’ personal information online with the specific intent to incite imminent serious bodily harm or place them in reasonable fear for their safety. Doxing has also affected state lawmakers. In August 2024, Assemblymember Lori D. Wilson (D-Suisun City), a member of the California Legislative Black Caucus, had private information published online without her permission. Established in 1998, California’s Safe at Home program protects survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, human trafficking, child abduction and elder or dependent adult abuse. It has since been expanded to cover reproductive health care and gender-affirming care providers. Bonta said AB 2624 extends a similar framework to another group of Californians facing comparable threats. Earlier versions of the bill directly referenced

CRENSHAW Continued from cover

Crenshaw’s work eventually expanded beyond academic law journals and became part of broader conversations about social justice, feminism, civil rights, and public policy. The concept of intersectionality is now used in universities, nonprofit organizations, journalism, and discussions about inequality throughout the world.

“AB 2624 does not restrict filming in public, does not prohibit investigative journalism, does not modify public records law for organizations, and does not apply to anyone who hasn’t voluntarily enrolled in and been certified by the Safe at Home program,” Bonta’s office said in an Aug. 18 statement. “It extends a 28-year-old, court-tested confidentiality program to people who are being followed home and threatened for helping their neighbors.” Under the law, knowingly publishing, displaying, disclosing or distributing the personal information or image of an immigration service provider, employee or volunteer with the specific intent to incite imminent great bodily harm or cause reasonable fear can result in civil liability. The law also makes it a crime to post such information with the specific intent that another person use it imminently to commit violence or threaten violence. Angelica Salas, executive director of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, testified before the Assembly Privacy and Consumer Protection Committee about her experience being doxed. “It happened to me and happened to a family member. They were looking for me and ended up in my mother’s home,” Salas said. She has also been an important voice in examining the ways the legal system can overlook vulnerable communities. Her scholarship encourages policymakers and institutions to consider people whose experiences may fall outside traditional categories used to understand discrimination. Crenshaw has taught at leading law schools, including UCLA School of Law and Columbia Law School. Through teaching, writing, public speaking, and activism, she has helped gener-

Over the next month, information will be mailed to more than 7,000 properties in highrisk flood areas with guidance on protecting property, understanding flood risk and purchasing flood insurance. In flood-prone areas across San Diego, the City’s Stormwater Department is working to clean and maintain stormwater infrastructure, including channels and storm drains. Over the past fiscal year, crews maintained more than 11 miles of stormwater channels, prioritizing areas impacted by the 2024 floods and other locations known to experience flooding during heavy rains. Additionally, the City plans to perform maintenance on more than 20 miles of channels in fiscal year 2027, which began in July. In some areas, stormwater channels are privately owned. The Stormwater Department will notify approximately 180 property owners of their responsibilities for cleaning and maintaining privately-owned stormwater channels. Intense rainfall over a short period can overwhelm stormwater systems and cause flooding. Residents should remain alert during storms and never attempt to drive or walk through flooded areas. ations of students and advocates think more deeply about the relationship between law, race, gender, and power. She also helped establish the African American Policy Forum, an organization that addresses issues involving racial justice, gender equality, and social policy. Through this work, Crenshaw has continued to connect academic research with public discussions about inequality and social change.

• Create an emergency plan with your family and loved ones; know your evacuation routes. • Have an emergency kit with enough supplies for three days, including water, food, batteries, flashlights, pet supplies, medications and important documents in a waterproof container. • Sign up for emergency alerts at AlertSanDiego.org • During a storm, never drive or walk through flooded areas. Monitor weather alerts and move to higher ground if flooding is a threat. • Know your flood risk. Flooding can happen even outside designated flood zones. • Clear gutters and drains around your property. • If your property is prone to flooding, consider preparing with sandbags.

Kimberlé Crenshaw’s legacy extends far beyond the legal concept she introduced. Intersectionality has given people a language for discussing experiences that can be difficult to describe when race, gender, class, and other social forces overlap. Her work has challenged institutions to look more carefully at people who can become invisible when society examines inequality through only one lens.

EDITORIAL/COMMENTARY/OPINION

WHY THE MARCH ON WASHINGTON, 2026 By Dr. John E. Warren

PUBLISHER, SAN DIEGO VOICE & VIEWPOINT NEWSPAPER CHAIRMAN, NNPA BOARD OF DIRECTORS

I

t is now 63 years since more than 250,000 people marched on Washington, D. C. for jobs, justice and the right to vote. That march was pivotal to the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act, both of which have produced changes that have touched the lives of each and every one of us. The Publisher of this newspaper was there at the Lincoln Memorial on that hot day in August of 1963 as people came by bus, train, car, horse and wagons, and on foot. Now, 63 years later, the struggle continues. Voting Rights and Civil Rights are under attack. That's not a surprise. What is necessary now is that we must march and support those who are able to march in

defense of all our rights now at stake. Those who can’t be there to march must support the ones who can. We can do that by ensuring that we are registered to vote as well as willing to march. This march, as it has been clearly stated by the organizers, is not about one election. This is about our reaching across generations to ensure that those who suffered and died for our rights did not do so in vain. Let’s make a commitment, right where we stand that we will be supportive; that we will not make this march a day of remembering a dream, but rather a step toward the final reality that we all deserve under this democracy that we say we live by and love. The struggle does indeed continue.

BIG MAMA SAID: “WHEN SPIDER WEBS UNITE, THEY CAN TIE UP A LION” By Terry Allen There is a powerful Ethiopian proverb: “When spider webs unite, they can tie up a lion.” Big Mama understood that kind of wisdom. One spider web looks fragile and insignificant. But connect enough strands, working together with purpose, and what appeared powerless becomes powerful. That is the story of voting in America—and especially the Black American experience. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 did not happen because powerful people suddenly decided to share power. Ordinary Americans organized, marched, registered voters, and demanded that America honor its promises. Fannie Lou Hamer, a Mississippi sharecropper, refused to accept that Black citizens should be denied their voices. John Lewis crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge and was beaten while demanding voting rights. Behind them stood

thousands of unnamed people who organized churches, knocked on doors, and risked their jobs, safety, and lives for the ballot. Their spider webs united—and changed America. More than sixty years later, voting remains at the center of national battles. America continues to debate congressional maps, voter registration, voter-roll maintenance, identification requirements, ballot access, and election procedures. These debates remind us that democracy cannot simply be inherited. Every generation must participate in protecting it. Too many eligible citizens remain disconnected or discouraged from the voting process. Others simply assume their registration is current. That is why my family practices something we call “Gimme 5.” It is simple: I commit to getting five people to vote. Those five reach five more. We confirm registrations, share election information, remind one another of voting dates, and encourage one another until the votes are actually cast.

Then we have a party—not to celebrate a candidate or political party, but to celebrate the actual votes cast. Do the math: one plus five equals five. Five reach 25. Twenty-five reach 125. Imagine that multiplication happening through families, churches, fraternities, sororities, and neighborhoods. So here is my two-part challenge: First, confirm that you are registered to vote. Second, Gimme 5. Activate five voters and challenge each of them to activate five more. Our ancestors built the web. Now we must strengthen it.

OUR VOICES: WE HAVE WALKED THIS ROAD BEFORE

By Rev. Peter Johnson

Some roads have a way of remembering your footsteps. I grew up in Plaquemine, Louisiana, in an America where segregation did not bother to hide. Black people knew which doors we could enter, which schools our children could attend, where we could sit, and how carefully we had to carry ourselves when the law had already decided that our freedom mattered less than somebody else’s comfort. Long before I knew the legal language of the First Amendment, I knew what happened when fear was given a badge, a Bible verse taken out of context, and the power to write laws. That is why I sat back in my chair after reading an August 6 Dallas Morning News article, “Ban hijabs and halal foods? Texas Republicans offer early blueprint of plan to ‘stop Islam.’” The reporting described proposals discussed by Texas Republican lawmakers and activists at a True Texas Project conference: ban halal food, forbid hijabs in public schools, redefine Islam as a political ideology instead of a religion, and require school lessons emphasizing what they called Islam’s “violence and political domination.” I finished the article and thought, Lord, we have walked this road before. Those of us who have lived a few years recognize the sound of it. We remember when Black families entering a neighborhood were said to threaten somebody else’s “way of life.” We remember

when equal schools, voting rights, and a seat at a lunch counter were called dangerous ideas. Jim Crow did not always introduce itself with a fire hose or a police dog. It often arrived first as a speech, a warning, a campaign promise, or a law written to protect people from neighbors they had been taught to fear. The faces and targets change, but fear tells the same old story: Your neighbor is your enemy. Their freedom threatens yours. Take away their rights today, and you will be safer tomorrow. Black America has heard that sermon before, and we know it is a lie. As a Christian minister, I believe with all my heart that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world. But Jesus never told His followers to use government power to make it impossible for another person to practice their faith. When a lawyer asked, “Who is my neighbor?” Jesus answered with a story. He made the Samaritan, the man respectable religious people distrusted, the one who crossed the road, treated the wounded man, and paid for his care. Jesus did not ask whether the two men worshiped alike. He asked who showed mercy. Then He said, “Go and do likewise.” The Constitution does not protect only Christians. The First Amendment protects the church, the synagogue, the mosque, and the person who chooses no religion. It exists because the government must never decide whose prayers deserve protection. Once politicians can forbid a Muslim girl from wearing her hijab or tell a Muslim family what food they may prepare, every religious community should pay attention.

The Muslim woman wearing a hijab may be the physician caring for your heart. The Muslim man leaving Friday prayers may be a soldier serving this country, a veteran who defended it, a teacher helping your child, or a neighbor watching your home. Their children laugh, worry, and dream like ours. We both pray, and their freedom is no less sacred than mine. When we sang “We Shall Overcome,” we were not claiming justice as Black America’s private property. We were declaring that God’s justice is wide enough for everybody. I am an old civil rights worker now. I have buried friends who believed America could be better than its fear. I cannot honor them by remaining silent while language once used against Black people is aimed at Muslim families. Silence may feel safe, but history has never remembered silence as courage. I pray we do not become so frightened that we surrender the freedoms our ancestors struggled to secure. Fear may win some elections, but only love transforms hearts. The prophet Micah still tells us what God requires: do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God. We have walked this road before. We know where prejudice leads when good people excuse it, politicians feed it, and the church blesses it. Rev. Peter Jerome Johnson was the youngest staff member of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference under Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Gov. Newsom Nominates 3 Black Women Judges

to Serve on State Courts of Appeal By Fisher Jack

G

She has served as an associate justice on the court since 2023 and previously served as a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge from 2017 to 2023.

Adams, who earned her law degree from Yale Law School, would succeed retired Justice Lee Edmon. Her term would begin Jan. 4, 2027, subject to voter confirmation in the Nov. 3 general election. Hippach, of San Luis Obispo County, was nominated as an associate justice of the Second District Court of Appeal, Division Six. She has served on the Santa Barbara County Superior Court since 2022 and previously worked in county counsel, attorney general, district attorney and appellate counsel offices. She earned her law degree from the University of Southern California Gould School of Law. Macaulay, of Orange County, was nominated as an associate justice of the Fourth District Court of Appeal, Division Three. She has served on the Orange County Superior Court since 2022.

Previously, she was chief administrative law judge at the California Department of Social Services and held several positions with the California Board of Parole Hearings. She earned her law degree from the University of Ibadan. Newsom’s other appellate nominees are David Sapp and Judge Lauri Damrell for the Third District; Judges Marsha Amin and Lisa Rodriguez for the Fourth District, Division One; and Judge Frederick Chung for the Sixth District. The governor also appointed Justin Ford, Erin Murphy, Wilson Park and Maricela Segura to the Los Angeles County Superior Court; Timothy Mulhere in Riverside County; and Crystal Salumbides and Brigid Campo in San Diego County.

The Black Resiliency Project

Tackling Big Issues Across All Demographics By Leslie Layton Courtesy of American Community Media As an African American woman who has lived in rural Butte County, Rachel Morton knows what it means to be a person of color in the North State. In the days following the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Morton went online. She wanted meaningful conversation about police violence in Black communities. Instead, she found heated arguments and comments that were “deeply racist.” Morton created a group, “Black in Butte,” and invited 10 friends for what would be “healthy conversation.” In a matter of Ife Sainte (left) and Rachel Morton explain the Black Resiliency Project. PHOTO: Yucheng Tang/ Courtesy of ACOM.org weeks, her group of 10 had expanded to include 940 Butte County residents, as RP was forced to regroup. well as people from outside the county. “Some of our dollars were tied to DEI work, and it was like “I was like, ‘Where are all these people coming from?’ They ‘cease and desist’,” Rachel says. “It was scary. We had been were all Black people from Northern California,” Morton said. saying, ‘We’re going to be here,’ and consistency is a big thing in our community, and trust.” Now – and as a direct result of her experience with Black in Butte — Morton is a founder and executive director of the The Black RP moved forward in spite of losing some Chico-based Black Resiliency Project, running a nonprofit funding; with partners, it launched BLOC, the Black Led organization that supports Black families and tackles issues Organizations Coalition to offer family support from north that affect all demographics. of Sacramento through Siskiyou County.

Civil rights & democracy One of those issues is civic engagement. The Black RP’s civic website, “The People’s Civic Hub,” provides tools for engaging locally and beyond. African Americans comprise less than 3 percent of Butte County’s population. That figure may sound tiny, but in fact that’s about 5,000 people living in communities that often have a legacy of racism. Because the Black population in the North State grew slowly and has remained small, it’s overlooked at many levels, says Robert Morton, Rachel’s husband who serves as The Black RP’s director of civic engagement and pastors a church in Oroville. “Black folks built a floor that everybody else is standing on,” Robert Morton writes in his column, “Who benefits?”

A Community Hub that welcomes At The Black Resiliency’s new Community Hub near downtown on the Esplanade, it oversees food distribution, resource sharing and provides a space where the organization’s case managers can connect with community members. “There’s harm in our community, hurt in our community,” says Outreach Coordinator Ife Sainte, who makes Tuesday food deliveries to immigrant and other families. “A lot of people suffer from low interaction.” As part of its school advocacy program, The Black RP has helped parents who have children with special needs request what are known as 504 plans from school districts. “We’re not just giving you the information,” says Rachel Morton. “It’s about accompaniment. We walk alongside you. Maybe [the parents] have never been to the school system with their child before. It’s not just, ‘Here’s the number.’ “There are so many barriers — I wish a phone book was enough for our community, but it’s not.” Rachel Morton says the organization supports Black families “because representation is important.” But the problems the organization wrestles with affect all demographics, and that’s why, she says, “We show up for everybody.”

When immigration enforcement ramped up, the Black RP became increasingly concerned about immigrant and mixed-status families, and “made intentional reach out to organizations supporting those communities.”

An “unction from God” In the days after the 2018 Camp Fire, Rachel Morton saw the suffering of people who had lost their living quarters, and some of them were people of color who had nowhere to turn. She had an administrative job at the courthouse but longed to do something directly meaningful. “I felt like this unction from God: Quit your job,” Morton says. She did, and soon she was working in disaster relief. Now, in an era that’s been scarred by mass deportations, rising prices, homelessness and violence, Rachel and Robert Morton, Ife Sainte and the rest of their team continue to follow that divine direction, working in what could still be called “disaster relief.” This story was produced in commemoration of the Fourth of July and the nation’s 250th anniversary to honor the contributions made by African American organizations.

Joe Paul Harris: Honoring By Darrel Wheeler Contributing Writer

J

oe Paul Harris was honored for his many years of community service on the second Sunday of hot August at the clubhouse in Admiral Baker Park. Joe the Legend left this earth on May the 7th. Jogging through the crowd of attendees, it was obvious Joe, the umpire and coach, touched and inspired a lot of people. Baseball was his passion; however, wherever he could be of service to his community, he would get involved, including coaching Pop Warner football. "I first met Coach Harris when I played football for Skyline. He was a great coach, mentor, and friend. I had to be here today to support his tribute; he meant a lot to me. He will definitely be missed," Lydell Burston shared. The attendees were invited to share their stories about Joe the Legend. Guests were treated to a slideshow, an all-you-can eat buffet, and the soulful sounds of Carmelia ''Toot'' Bell. Old friends had an opportunity to catch up and hang out again, and the special event was the perfect opportunity for new friendships to begin. President of the San Diego County Umpires Association, Ryan Bell, had this to say about his good friend and co-worker: “Joe was the guy who would spend his extra time teaching the process of becoming a high school umpire, and he got paid absolutely nothing for it. Not too many people

are willing to do that. Every single week he would be on the field or in the classroom teaching. He was an amazing person; that's why you see all these people here today."

Joe Paul Harris left a lot of fond memories for his family and friends to share on that special day at the clubhouse at Admiral Baker Park. "He was such a kind and wonderful man. I felt in my heart I just had to do something for him, but I could not have done this by myself,” co-event coordinator Patricia Bryant shared. “I reached out to his friends and the umpires association, and they stepped up and did an outstanding job helping me put this together. I want to thank them so very much and everybody that came out today in support of Joe."

INTERNATIONAL NEWS South Africa Seeks Reimbursement For Migrant Repatriations By Associated Press

S

outh Africa is asking several other African governments to reimburse it for the cost of sending tens of thousands of their citizens back home.

The request comes after South Africa deported or helped repatriate more than 80,000 immigrants, following protests and violence against illegal immigration. According to the country’s Home Affairs department, which briefed lawmakers on August 11th, the country has spent nearly $18 million accommodating and transporting immigrants who demanded to return to their home countries. The foreign ministry has sent written requests for compensation to Malawi, Ethiopia and Nigeria, officials said. The money covered buses to transport the immigrants, temporary repatriation centers and staff overtime, among other expenses. Tommy Makhode, the director-general of the Home Affairs department, described the costs as “unforeseen and unavoidable.” Some municipalities and government departments involved in the repatriation are demanding compensation from the Home Affairs department, since the costs had not been budgeted for.

Home Affairs minister Leon Schreiber has described the recent volume of repatriations and deportations as unprecedented.

African government of failing to protect its citizens, an accusation the government has denied.

The departures have come during heightened tensions over immigration in South Africa. Anti-illegal migration groups have held protests, and some attacks on foreign nationals have strained relations with other African governments. The groups blame migrants for high unemployment, crime and pressure on public services. Some countries in the region have accused the South

Most recently, Ghana pushed for the situation in South Africa to be included in the agenda of an upcoming African Union meeting, a suggestion which was rejected by the continental body. According to the latest government figures, 82,875 people have either been voluntarily repatriated or have been deported since the migration tensions began. However, figures released by governments of migrants’ home countries put the total at about 178,000.

bottom lines and tax remaining workers. For their clients, it threatens to upend every aspect of their lives.

As the Trump administration unwinds years of protections for hundreds of thousands of people from Haiti, twin populations of vulnerable people find themselves in the crosshairs: caregivers in jobs to which those immigrants have flocked, and the older adults and disabled people who rely on them.

Supreme Court ruling paved the way The Supreme Court sided with the Trump administration, saying it could end temporary protected status. The ruling specifically pertained to 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians, but immigration advocates and legal observers say it could be applied to a broader group of 1.3 million people from 17 countries.

The departures are part of a broader government crackdown. Between April and July, 16,078 nationals mostly from Lesotho, Malawi, Tanzania, Zimbabwe and Mozambique were deported through the country’s Lindela Repatriation Centre. South African law enforcement officials said last week they would intensify operations targeting illegal migration and related offenses. They said they had arrested nearly 60,000 people who are in the country illegally, including 16,208 arrested in July alone.

Around the U.S., care homes and home health agencies are bracing for the loss of workers with TPS, which stands for temporary protected status, even as they continue to reel from other immigration policy changes that have squeezed an already short-staffed industry. For businesses, it is a predicament that could hurt

“I lost not only a lady working for me,” the 87-year-old Holocaust survivor says, her voice broken by sobs. “I lost a friend.”

Facilities scramble to come up with replacement workers

Around 1 in 5 workers in the U.S. is foreign born, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, but immigrants are overrepresented in caregiving roles. Among home health aides, for example, one-third are immigrants, according to PHI, a nonprofit focused on the

caregiving workforce. In lives upended by age or disability, a cherished caregiver is a lifeline. For someone living in their own home, they may be the last line of defense before institutionalization. For those in a care facility, they may be their strongest advocate, who notices subtle changes before anyone else, ensures small comforts like dollar-store word search books, and brings a sense of humanity to the humiliation of being incontinent. “They are the first people they see when they wake up in the morning and they’re the last ones that they see before they go to bed,” says Simone Smith, vice president of human resources at Cabrini of Westchester, a nursing home in Dobbs Ferry, New York, where eight Haitians with TPS await word of their fate. Like similar facilities around the country, Cabrini is prepared to scramble to secure replacement staffers from nursing agencies and plead with remaining workers to take overtime shifts. Cabrini’s workforce is about 75% immigrant. Among those with TPS, Smith senses “almost a hopelessness.” A Haitian who loses TPS faces an unbearable choice: Attempt to stay in the U.S. and find underground work, tiptoeing through life with fear that authorities will eventually find and remove them. Or return to a country so plagued by gang violence and poverty that many believe it would amount to a death sentence. “I’m afraid all the time,” says a Haitian man working at a Brooklyn nursing home who asked for anonymity because of concerns for the safety of himself and his family. “I pay tax to the country. I’m a good person. … All I want is to work. When you work, you are a person.”
