morning news: His lawyer, Claudia Galan, confirmed he had been released, less than a day after The Dallas Morning News' reporting about his case drew national attention, according to CTV. ICE did not immediately comment. Francisco Erwin Galicia left a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention centre in Pearsall, Texas, on Tuesday. Nor did U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which oversees the Border Patrol, the agency that first detained Galicia. According to Galan and the Morning News, agents apprehended Galicia on suspicion that he was in the U.S. illegally even though he had a Texas state ID. Galicia was detained for three weeks by the Border Patrol, then transferred to the ICE detention centre. Galicia lives in the border city of Edinburg, Texas, and was travelling north with a group of friends when they were stopped at a Border Patrol inland checkpoint. (www.immigrantscanada.com).

pro-immigrant beliefs: Over three decades in public life, Johnson has shifted between social liberalism and right-wing provocation, according to Rabble. As London mayor for two terms between 2008 and 2016, he spoke of his pro-immigrant beliefs and presented the British capital as a tolerant, multicultural melting pot. Johnson has been a little of everything during his career. Responding in 2015 to untrue claims by Donald Trump that the police had lost control of parts of London to radical Muslim groups, Johnson said, London is a city where 300 languages are spoken, and spoke of the proud history of tolerance and diversity in the city. Is this what's needed to lead Britain through Brexit Or will Johnson face a challenge to his leadership in the near future A protester wears a hat that denigrates Boris Johnson's signature issue Bollox to Brexit' Reuters/Kevin Coombs Principles or strategy As a historian of British politics who is currently working on a book about Brexit, I can see that populist rabble-rousing has served Johnson well. But as Johnson enters the prime minister's residence at 10 Downing Street, his views have become much more nationalist and populist. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

interview tuesday: We rely a lot on ice roads, according to National Observer. Their life span is getting shorter and shorter, he said. It's getting harder to resupply our communities, Bob McLeod said in an interview Tuesday from Saskatoon, where he spoke at the Pacific Northwest Economic Region summit. McLeod noted fuel had to be flown in to three communities last year. And disappearing wildlife has made it tougher to put food on the table. ; A lot of people can only afford to live in the Arctic because they're able to harvest their food off the land, McLeod said. Declining rainfall meant reservoirs didn't replenish enough for two hydroelectric facilities to run, meaning diesel generators had to be fired up. (www.immigrantscanada.com).

brexit limbo: He will have just over three months to make good on his promise to lead the U.K. out of the European Union by Oct. 31, according to CTV. Famed for his bravado, quips in Latin and blond mop of hair Johnson easily defeated Conservative rival Jeremy Hunt, winning two-thirds of the votes of about 160,000 party members across the U.K. He will become prime minister once Queen Elizabeth II formally asks him to form a government, replacing Theresa May. Johnson is set to become prime minister on Wednesday after winning an election to lead the governing Conservatives. The embattled May announced her resignation last month after Parliament repeatedly rejected the withdrawal agreement she struck with the 28-nation bloc, leaving Britain stranded in Brexit limbo. Johnson radiated optimism in a brief victory speech to hundreds of party members and lawmakers, pledging to deliver Brexit, unite the country and defeat Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the opposition Labour Party. The U.K.'s departure from the EU was delayed from its long scheduled exit in March. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

honduran government: Migrants from Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and El Salvador have sought asylum in the United States from the poverty, violence, human rights violations and the impacts of climate breakdown including food insecurity in their home countries, according to Rabble. The negative impacts of Canadian capital notably mining projects and support for the Honduran government have also been cited as contributory factors in this migration. The Peace Brigades International-Mexico Project accompanies the Saltillo Migrant Shelter, which is located near the Mexico-Texas border.PBI-Mexico has noted, The Saltillo Migrant Shelter offers daily humanitarian assistance -- including clothes, medicines, food, rest, and medical and psychological care -- to hundreds of migrants crossing Mexico to reach the United States. On July 1, The Washington Post reported, In the weeks since Mexico signed a pact with the United States to stop migration from Mexico into the United States conditions in detention centers and shelters have deteriorated dramatically, according to diplomats and human rights officials who have visited the facilities. As of late June, Mexico also deployed 15,000 troops on its northern border to stop migrants from entering the United States. That article highlights, Mexico has detained 99,203 migrants this year and deported 71,110 of them, according to its immigration agency. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

american citizens: The U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or FATCA, requires banks and other institutions in countries outside the United States to report information about accounts held by U.S. individuals, including Canadians with dual citizenship, according to National Observer. Deegan and Highton challenged the constitutionality of Canadian provisions implementing a 2014 agreement between the countries that makes the information-sharing possible. Federal Court of Canada Justice Anne Mactavish dismissed an appeal from two American citizens, Gwendolyn Louise Deegan and Kazia Highton, who now live in Canada and have no real ongoing connection with the United States. They argued the provisions breach charter guarantees that prevent unreasonable seizure and ensure the equality of people under law. Under the tax arrangements, Canadian financial institutions are legally required to provide the Canada Revenue Agency with data concerning accounts belonging to customers whose information suggests they might have American citizenship. Mactavish concluded in her decision released Monday that although the provisions do result in the seizure of the banking information of Americans in Canada, the affected people have only a limited expectation of privacy in their data. ; She also ruled that the provisions do not violate the charter guarantee that every person is equal under the law without discrimination based on national origin.

cbc: The digital logic of social media allows for inventive ways to get noticed, and demands a particular set of skills that third-party groups are wielding with notable success, according to NOW Magazine. The Post Millennial is the latest to join a network of online organizations with clear ties to the Conservative Party of Canada. And it's not just bots promoting fake Trudeau Must Go hashtags on Twitter doing the damage. In June, an investigative report by CBC revealed that many of the writers and staff employed by the website, which describes itself as centre-right and non-partisan, have campaigned and worked for the party. Ballingall also did a two-year stint at Sun Media, part of the Postmedia chain of newspapers the largest in the country that owns the National Post.

asses claims: Most of them are fleeing Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala, according to CTV. Earlier this month, the Trump administration declared Mexico a safe country for migrants, which means those who have passed through Mexico won't get hearings in the U.S. to determine whether they are refugees in need of protection. The U.S. has been overwhelmed with more than 100,000 migrants a month flooding across its southern border with Mexico. That means far more are likely to seek asylum in Mexico. Beuze said the UN is counting on Canada to support, for example, the Mexican asylum system to reinforce its capacity to asses claims and to see to which extent asylum seekers can be protected in Mexico. UNHCR Canada's Jean-Nicolas Beuze says that although Mexico is increasingly capable of handling asylum seekers, it needs Canada's help to cover the cost of staffing, offices and training.

irish sea: An embankment and drainage channels keep the Irish Sea out, according to CTV. Even with upgrades, scientists believe rising oceans resulting from global warming could overwhelm the flood controls. Fairbourne pop. 900 is barely above sea level. To minimize the risk to life and livelihood, a plan is being developed to move people out by 2045. Martin Austin, a senior lecturer in coastal sediment dynamics at Bangor University, says that a significant storm could one day bring catastrophe to the village.

country agreement: Ebrard said in a statement that Pompeo noted significant advances in Mexico's efforts to curb migration, according to CTV. Record numbers of migrants, especially Central Americans, have made their way through Mexico in recent months in an effort to start new lives in the U.S. Given the advances, Ebrard said Mexico sees no need to negotiate a safe third country agreement with Washington that would require migrants to apply for asylum in Mexico rather than in the U.S. State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus said in a statement that the two top diplomats discussed their countries' shared efforts to stop illegal immigration. Pompeo spent the morning with Mexican Foreign Secretary Marcelo in Mexico City before flying to a meeting with El Salvador's president. During the meeting, she said, Pompeo thanked Ebrard for Mexico's increased immigration enforcement efforts, which initial indications suggest is leading to reduced flows of illegal immigrants arriving at the U.S. southern border. Some attribute the decrease to increased enforcement in Mexico, combined with the country's participation in a program that sends asylum seekers back into Mexico to await the outcome of their claims in the U.S. The meeting between Pompeo and Ebrard came at the halfway point of a 90-day span during which Mexico has agreed to reduce migration across its territory toward the U.S. border as part of a deal that headed off stiff tariffs on Mexican goods threatened by U.S. President Donald Trump. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security reported a 28% drop last month in the number of migrants encountered by Customs and Border Protection at the U.S.-Mexico border compared to May.

workplaces: The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which enforces federal laws against workplace bias, explicitly cites comments like go back to where you came from as examples of potentially unlawful conduct, according to CTV. Similar phrases routinely show up in lawsuits that the EEOC files against employers alleging discrimination, harassment or retaliation based on race or national origin. Yet in many of America's workplaces and institutions, the same language would be unacceptable and possibly illegal. Apart from its legality in workplaces, Trump's language has ignited impassioned responses across racial, ethnic and political divides.

cent: The data found that while 40 per cent of mothers said their baby has never slept in the same bed with someone, a third of respondents, or 33 per cent, said they or someone else shared a bed with their infant nearly every day, according to CTV. This is despite public health campaigns advising against the practice out of concern for the baby's safety. The study used data collected from Statistic Canada's 2015 and 2016 Canadian Community Health Survey CCHS which surveyed 5,329 women between the ages of 15 and 55 who had given birth in the past five years. According to the Public Health Agency of Canada PHAC bed-sharing, which is when an infant shares the same sleep surface with an adult or another child, may increase the baby's risk of sudden infant death syndrome SIDS and suffocation. There is also the risk the adult or other child could roll onto the infant. The government agency said the baby can suffocate if they become trapped between the sleep surface and the body of the other person in the bed, the wall, or other objects. (www.immigrantscanada.com).

Article 15 outlines one of the fundamental rights of Indian citizens there can be no discrimination against any Indian citizen on grounds only of religion, race, caste, sex, place of birth. It's considered the source of Indian law and jurisprudence. In reality, both are mainly talking points for India's privileged classes of which I am a member.
