WORLD IN BRIEF

US puts Iran ‘on notice’ after
missile test, won’t elaborate
WASHINGTON — The White House has issued a cryptic
warning that the U.S. will act against Iran unless it stops test-
ing ballistic missiles and supporting Houthi rebels in Yemen, but
declined to say what retaliatory actions the U.S. would pursue.
Michael Flynn, President Donald Trump’s national security
adviser, forcefully denounced Iran’s behavior in his first public
remarks since Trump took office. He accused Iran of threatening
U.S. allies and spreading instability throughout the Middle East
while faulting the Obama administration for doing too little to
stop the Islamic Republic.
“As of today, we are officially putting Iran on notice,” Flynn
said from the White House podium.
On notice for what, Flynn didn’t say. Senior Trump adminis-
tration officials said they were actively considering a “range of
options” including economic measures and increased support for
Iran’s regional adversaries. The officials, who briefed reporters
on condition of anonymity, declined repeatedly to say whether
military action was being considered.
Later Wednesday, Trump tweeted: “Iran is rapidly taking over
more and more of Iraq even after the U.S. has squandered three
trillion dollars there. Obvious long ago!”
Red, blue states split over
Trump’s ‘sanctuary city’ order
SALEM, Ore. — President Donald Trump’s promised crack-
down on “sanctuary cities” has triggered divergent actions from
blue and red states, revealing the deep national divide on immi-
gration as some move to follow his order and others break with the
U.S. government to protect immigrants in the country illegally.
California, the nation’s largest state, is pushing for a statewide
sanctuary that would prohibit law enforcement from cooperating
with federal immigration authorities, while a fellow U.S.-Mex-
ico border state, Texas, is seeking to withhold funding from cit-
ies with the policies.
Trump’s recent executive orders threatening to withhold fed-
eral funding from communities with sanctuary policies and call-
ing for a border wall have produced widespread protests and
fears that more immigration restrictions are in the future. The
president’s supporters have hailed the efforts.
Cities have mostly taken up sanctuary laws. There’s no offi-
cial definition, but often they tell police not to inquire about the
immigration status of those they arrest or they decline requests
from immigration officials to keep defendants in custody while
they await deportation.
But liberal states like California would not be the first to block
police from enforcing federal immigration law. Oregon pio-
neered statewide sanctuary in a 1987 law, when immigrant work-
ers and their families were sometimes housed in appalling condi-
tions despite their importance to agricultural profits.
Oregon Gov. Kate Brown said she will enforce that law.
“They mow our lawns. They pick our grapes,” Brown said last
week. “They take care of our children and they take care of our
seniors, and I want to make sure they feel welcome in Oregon.”
Report: Oregon lagging
behind on climate goals
PORTLAND — A new report has found that Oregon is not
reducing greenhouse gas emissions fast enough to meet its goals.
The Oregonian reports that the Oregon Global Warming Com-
mission will deliver findings to state lawmakers this week show-
ing that the state is not even close to being on track to meet is
2020 goals.
The state is lagging behind despite ambitious legislation that
targeted emissions from the electricity and transportation sectors.
The report blamed, in part, higher emissions from vehicles.
It said population growth, a strong economy and cheap gas have
resulted in more people driving more miles and buying less
fuel-efficient cars.

Oregon Gov. Kate Brown speaks to media representatives
in Salem in January. President Donald Trump’s promised
crackdown on “sanctuary cities” has triggered divergent
actions from blue and red states: Some are moving to fol-
low his order and others are breaking with the U.S. gov-
ernment to protect immigrants in the country illegally. Or-
egon pioneered statewide sanctuary in a 1987 law. Brown
said she will enforce that law, saying, “They take care of
our children and they take care of our seniors, and I want
to make sure they feel welcome in Oregon.”
It’s not clear whether state lawmakers will do anything to
further curb emissions. The report comes as President Donald
Trump’s administration is moving to undo federal climate change
policies.
Large numbers of salmon
return to Deschutes River
BEND — Deschutes River saw a large number of native sock-
eye salmon return to its waters in 2016.
A total of 536 sockeye salmon returned to a complex of
hydroelectric dams and reservoirs called the Pelton Round Butte
Hydroelectric Project, reported The Bulletin. That’s a significant
improvement over recent years — since 2010, annual returns
have ranged between 19 and 86 fish.
“We are not pointing to this and saying mission accomplished,
but at the same time it’s a really great result for 2016,” said Ste-
ven Corson, a spokesman for complex co-owner Portland Gen-
eral Electric. “Our goal is to have sustained and harvestable fish
runs, but we are still in the beginning stages.”
The dam complex is owned by PGE and the Confederated
Tribes of Warm Springs. It stretches over about 20 miles of the
Deschutes River west of Madras.
The complex was originally designed in the 1950s and 60s to
include fish passages, but the passages were not effective. Round
Butte Dam owners are now trying to reintroduce spring chinook
and steelhead in addition to sockeye salmon.
Corson said salmon returns are often unpredictable and the
reintroduction efforts are still in the early stages.
More than 93 percent of the sockeye originated in the Middle
Deschutes basin, according to genetic testing received by Port-
land General Electric in January. Most of those came from a lake
created by the Round Butte Dam called Lake Billy Chinook.
While waiting for new data, scientists continue to monitor
water quality and work on habitat-improving projects in the area.
“It’s an ongoing, scientific-based effort to maximize the
potential for a successful year,” Corson said.
Trump vows to repeal
political limits on churches
WASHINGTON — Warning that religious freedom is “under
threat,” President Donald Trump vowed today to repeal the John-
son Amendment, an IRS rule barring pastors from endorsing can-
didates from the pulpit.”
“I will get rid of and totally destroy the Johnson Amendment
and allow our representatives of faith to speak freely and without

ALEPPO, Syria — Aleppo has been scarred beyond recogni-
tion: Weeks after fighting stopped, a pall of dust covers its east-
ern districts, where streets are lined for blocks with buildings
smashed to metal and brick rubble in scenes reminiscent of cities
devastated in World War II.
The destruction is the worst wreaked on any city in Syria’s
six-year war. No one has any quick answers on how to rebuild
Aleppo, Syria’s largest city, much less the rest of a country that
has seen appalling desolation.
Costs for reconstruction in Aleppo, once Syria’s economic
hub, could run in the tens of billions of dollars, far beyond the
country’s capabilities. Western nations are unlikely to give funds
to the government of President Bashar Assad, which remains
under U.S., European, and Arab sanctions that bar aid. Even
Assad’s allies, Russia and Iran, which are bankrolling his rule,
show little enthusiasm to shoulder rebuilding costs.
And there is the question of how to discuss reconstruction
while the war still rages. Much depends on the shape of any
eventual political settlement ending the war. Rebuilding with-
out a deal may only entrench demographic changes caused by
the war — which have run along sectarian lines. The fear among
some is that Assad’s government will rebuild opposition areas
like east Aleppo for its supporters and do little to draw back mil-
lions of refugees, most from parts of the country that joined the
rebellion.
Still, the European Union, where nearly 1 million Syrians are
seeking asylum, says planning must start now. It wants to host a
conference in the spring on the future of Syria with a focus on
reconstruction. U.N. officials are scrambling to form a vision for
a future Syria and find ways to tackle financing.
Police use backhoe to breach
prison, end standoff; one dead
SMYRNA, Del. — Police used a backhoe to breach a
building at Delaware’s largest prison early today, ending what
the governor called a “torturous” hostage standoff that left one
guard dead.
Inmates used “sharp instruments” to assume control of the
building at the James T. Vaughn Correction Center on Wednes-
day, taking three prison guards and a woman counselor hostage.
The inmates told a local newspaper that concerns about their
treatment and the leadership of the United States had prompted
their actions.
Authorities did not say how Sgt. Steven Floyd died. He was
a 16-year veteran with the prisons agency. During the standoff,
inmates negotiated to have the water turned on, which authorities
said the prisoners used to fill up small foot lockers to build a wall
at the prison entryways.

A
fear of retribution,” Trump said during remarks at the National
Prayer Breakfast, a high-profile event bringing together faith
leaders, politicians and dignitaries.
Trump also defended his recent executive order on immigra-
tion, decrying “generous” immigration policies and arguing that
there were people who sought to enter the country “for the pur-
pose of spreading violence or oppressing other people based upon
their faith.” He also pledged to take more immigration action in
the name of religious liberty.
“In the coming days we will develop a system to help ensure
that those admitted into our country fully embrace our values of
religious and personal liberty and that they reject any form of
oppression and discrimination,” Trump said.
Trump did not detail how he will scrap the IRS rule, which
he has previously pledged to do away with. The rule has been
in place since 1954, but it is very rare for a church to actually be
penalized. And while some conservative Christians would like to
see it abolished, others, especially the younger generation, sup-
port a separation of church and politics.
The repeal does not appear to have widespread public sup-
port. Eight in 10 Americans said it was inappropriate for pastors
to endorse a candidate in church in a poll released last September
by Lifeway Research, a religious survey firm based in Nashville.
