Brewer prevails in immigation ruling
Phoenix – A judge on Thursday refused to halt Gov. Jan Brewer’s order that denies driver’s licenses for young immigrants in Arizona who have gotten work permits and avoided deportation under an Obama administration policy.
The decision by U.S. District Judge David Campbell rejects the argument by immigrant rights advocates who said Brewer’s policy was unconstitutional because it’s trumped by federal law.
Arizona’s refusal to view those in President Barack Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program as legal residents has become the most visible challenge to his announcement in June that some young immigrants would be protected from deportation.
The Department of Homeland Security has said immigrants with work permits issued under the policy are lawfully present in the U.S.
Edwards will speak, reactivates law license
Raleigh, N.C. – Former presidential contender John Edwards has reactivated his license to practice law and is setting out on the speaking circuit.
The two-time presidential candidate and former North Carolina senator is scheduled to appear June 6 at a private retreat in Orlando, Fla., for lawyer clients of the marketing firm PMP.
A records check with the N.C. State Bar shows Edwards has also reactivated his license to practice law, which had been inactive for more than a decade.
The contact number listed for Edwards rings at his old Raleigh firm, where a receptionist said Edwards has not worked for many years.
Efforts to reach Edwards on Thursday were unsuccessful.
Edwards has remained largely out of public view since his May 2012 acquittal on one charge of campaign finance fraud.
A federal judge declared a mistrial on five other criminal counts after jurors couldn’t agree if Edwards illegally used campaign money to hide his pregnant mistress as he ran for president in 2008.
An itinerary for the Florida event says Edwards will speak for about 45 minutes as part of a program entitled, “Historic Trials of the Century.” Edwards earned millions as a personal injury lawyer before entering politics.
Car bombing kills at least 15, 6 Americans
Kabul, Afghanistan – A suicide car bombing tore through a U.S. convoy in Kabul on Thursday, killing at least 15 people including six Americans in a blast so powerful it rattled the other side of the Afghan capital.
A Muslim militant group claimed responsibility for the morning rush hour attack, saying it was carried out by a new suicide unit formed in response to reports that the U.S. plans to keep bases and troops in Afghanistan even after the 2014 deadline for the end of the foreign combat mission.
The group, Hizb-e-Islami, said its fighters had stalked the Americans for a week to learn their routine before striking.
Two American soldiers were killed, as were four American civilian contractors with DynCorp International. DynCorp, a U.S. defense contractor based in Falls Church, Va., said its employees were working with U.S. forces training the Afghan military when the blast occurred.
Syrian troops push rebel forces back
Beirut – Syrian government troops on Thursday flushed out rebels who had stormed a prison compound in the northern city of Aleppo in a bid to free hundreds of political prisoners inside.
The forced retreat was the latest setback for fighters seeking to topple President Bashar Assad, whose forces have been gaining ground in the country’s civil war.
Seven kidnapped, militants suspected
Cairo – Suspected militants in Egypt’s Sinai abducted seven security personnel as they headed to Cairo for holidays early Thursday, security officials said. It was the first such kidnapping of security forces in the lawless peninsula.
The officials said masked gunmen ambushed two taxis at gunpoint outside the city of el-Arish, the capital of North Sinai governorate, fleeing with five policemen and one border guard captive. None of those abducted were in uniform, officials said.
Security in the Sinai has deteriorated sharply in the two years since the overthrow of longtime authoritarian ruler Hosni Mubarak, as it has elsewhere across the country.
Public forum set on health care
A coalition hoping to make universal health care a reality will sponsor a public forum and discussion Monday from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
The grass-roots effort began in Spokane in 2011 when a women’s book club read T.R. Reid’s book “The Healing of America” – an analysis of how some industrialized nations provide health care to all their citizens while the United States does not.
Reid has spoken in Spokane twice since then. And the club is now collaborating with other groups hoping to achieve universal health care in the United States.
The forum will feature representatives from Health Care for All – Washington. The discussion will be at St. John’s Cathedral in the Jewett House hall, 127 E. 12th Ave. in Spokane. For more information, go to www.healthcareforallwa .org; RSVP by emailing SpokaneHealthCare @gmail.com.
Florist sues state in gay wedding case
RICHLAND – A florist targeted by two lawsuits for refusing to provide flowers for a same-sex wedding has filed her own lawsuit against Washington state, claiming the state is violating her religious beliefs.
The lawsuits stem from an incident in March when Barronelle Stutzman of Arlene’s Flowers refused to provide flowers for a longtime client because she said same-sex marriage was against her personal beliefs.
Attorneys for Alliance Defending Freedom, a legal ministry, filed suit Thursday on behalf of Stutzman in Benton County Superior Court, the Tri-City Herald reported.
“Everyone knows that plenty of florists are willing to assist in same-sex ceremonies, so the state has no reason to force Barronelle to violate her deeply held beliefs,” Senior Legal Counsel Dale Schowengerdt said in a statement.
Last month, the American Civil Liberties Union in Washington state filed suit against Stutzman, 68, on behalf of the Kennewick gay couple denied service.
Robert Ingersoll and Curt Freed were longtime patrons of the flower shop.
That lawsuit seeks a court order barring her from discriminating against customers on the basis of sexual orientation and damages for violation of the couple’s rights as well as unspecified damages.
Under state law, it’s illegal for businesses to refuse to sell goods, merchandise and services to any person because of their sexual orientation.
Washington state Attorney General Bob Ferguson also has filed a consumer protection lawsuit.
Washington voters legalized gay marriage in November. However, protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation were codified in 2006 in one of the first pushes to expand civil rights to the gay community.
