WORLD IN BRIEF
bill on social media because that’s “where most people are get-
ting their news nowadays.”
The law allows police to inquire about the immigration status
of anyone they detain, a situation that can range from arrest for a
crime to being stopped for a traffic violation.
It also requires police chiefs and sheriffs — under the threat
of jail and removal of office — to comply with federal requests
to hold criminal suspects for possible deportation. Republicans
have a strong majority in the Legislature and shoved aside Dem-
ocratic objections, even as President Donald Trump’s efforts to
withhold federal funding for sanctuary cities have hit roadblocks
in federal courts.

French president-elect gears for
transition — as do rivals
PARIS — French president-elect Emmanuel Macron is laying
the groundwork for his transition to power, with plans for a visit
to Germany, a name change for his political movement and an
appearance today with the man whose job he assumes.
Macron defeated far-right leader Marine Le Pen handily in
Sunday’s presidential vote, and now must pull together a major-
ity for his year-old political movement by mid-June legislative
elections.
His party, En Marche (Forward) is tweaking its name as it
prepares a list of candidates. Macron has promised that half of
those candidates will be new to elected politics, as he was before
Sunday.
The far-right National Front party is also gearing up for a
name change — if not a makeover of its ideas — after Marine Le
Pen’s decisive loss.
In interviews today, her campaign director, David Rachline,
said the party founded by her father would get a new name as bait
to pull in a broader spectrum of supporters in France.

Ousted Obama official to speak
on Trump aide’s Russia talks
WASHINGTON — An Obama administration official who
warned the Trump White House about contacts between one of
its key advisers and Russia is set to speak publicly for the first
time about the concerns she raised.
Former acting Attorney General Sally Yates is testifying today
before a Senate Judiciary subcommittee investigating Russian
interference in the 2016 presidential election.
The highly anticipated hearing — it is Yates’s first appearance
on Capitol Hill since her firing in January — is expected to fill in
key details in the chain of events that led to the ouster of Michael
Flynn, President Donald Trump’s first national security adviser,
in the early weeks of the administration.
The February resignation followed media reports that Flynn
had discussed U.S.-imposed sanctions on Russia with Ambas-
sador Sergey Kislyak during the presidential transition period,
which was contrary to the public representations of the White
House.
Yates is likely to testify today that she warned White House
counsel Don McGahn on Jan. 26 that Flynn’s contacts — and the
discrepancies between what the White House said happened on
the calls and what actually occurred — had left him in a compro-
mised position, according to a person familiar with her expected
statements. The person was not authorized to discuss the testi-
mony by name and requested anonymity.
State has yet to distribute tax
revenue from pot sales
PORTLAND — Tax money collected from Oregon’s legal
marijuana sales has been a rare bright spot as lawmakers fight
over how to fill a $1.6 billion budget deficit.
KGW-TV reports that the state has brought in almost $75 mil-
lion in tax revenue since 2016. It’s not enough to close the bud-
get gap, but it’s a start.
But none of that tax revenue has been distributed to its
intended recipients, like schools and police agencies.
That’s because of a quirk in the state law that governs legal
marijuana.
It says before anyone else gets paid, the Oregon Liquor Con-
trol Commission must be reimbursed for administrative costs
associated with setting up the marijuana program.
That hasn’t happened. Until it does, the tens of millions of dol-
lars in marijuana tax revenue will just sit in a state account.
Biomass facility hopes to profit
from energy-credits bill
LONGVIEW, Wash. — The KapStone packaging plant in
Longview, Washington wants its wood waste boilers to earn cash.
The Daily News reports that the mill’s “biomass” facility
could be a moneymaker if Gov. Jay Inslee approves a bill that has
cleared the Legislature.
State Sen. Dean Takko, a Longview Democrat, says Inslee is
expected to sign the measure today.
The bill would allow older biomass facilities like KapStone’s
to sell renewable energy credits. KapStone stands to earn hun-
dreds of thousands of dollars annually under the legislation.
Inslee vetoed a similar bill last year fearing biomass energy
could undercut the competitiveness of other renewable energies.
This year’s bill is narrower.

energy because the wood on its own would eventually decay and

Appeals court to weigh challenge
to revised Trump travel ban
RICHMOND, Va. — After a series of stinging legal defeats,
President Donald Trump’s administration hopes to convince a
federal appeals court that his travel ban targeting six-Muslim
majority countries is motivated by national security, not religion.
The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals today will examine a
ruling that blocks the administration from temporarily barring
new visas for citizens of Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and
Yemen. It’s the first time an appeals court will hear arguments
on the revised travel ban, which is likely destined for the U.S.
Supreme Court.
Pointing to the Republican’s promises on the campaign trail to
bar Muslims from entering the country, a federal judge in Mary-
land found in March that the policy appeared to be driven primar-
ily by religious animus.
Attorneys for the U.S. Justice Department say the court
shouldn’t rely on Trump’s statements, but on the text of the pol-
icy, which they say is necessary to protect the country from ter-
rorism. The banned countries represent just a fraction of the pre-
dominantly Muslim countries worldwide, they note.
“The court should have focused on official acts, not perceived
subjective motivations,” the attorneys say in court documents.
Texas stokes immigration debate
with ‘sanctuary cities’ ban
AUSTIN, Texas — Texas charged to the forefront of the
national debate over immigration as Republican Gov. Greg
Abbott signed a so-called “sanctuary cities” ban that lets police
ask during routine stops whether someone is in the U.S. legally
and threatens sheriffs with jail if they don’t cooperate with fed-
eral immigration agents.
The new Texas law was blasted by opponents as the nation’s
toughest on immigrants since Arizona’s crackdown in 2010.
Opponents vowed to challenge it in court.
Abbott signed the measure on Facebook Live Sunday evening
without advance notice, which critics said was to avoid protest-
ers. Abbott spokesman John Wittman said they chose to sign the
The Georgia school district said it was investigating the base-
ball players for “misbehavior” and “inappropriate physical con-
tact.” What it didn’t reveal was that a younger teammate had
reported being sexually assaulted.
Even after players were later disciplined for sexual battery, the
district cited student confidentiality to withhold details from the
public and used “hazing” to describe the incident, which it also
failed to report to the state as required.
Across the U.S., perhaps nowhere is student-on-student sex-
ual assault as dismissed or as camouflaged as in boys’ sports, an
Associated Press investigation found. Mischaracterized as hazing
and bullying, the violence is so normalized on some teams that it
persists for years, as players attacked one season become aggres-
sors the next.
Coaches frequently say they’re not aware of what’s happen-
ing. But AP found multiple cases where coaches knew and failed
to intervene or, worse, tried to cover it up.
The AP examined sexual violence in school sports as part
of its larger look at student-on-student sex assaults . Analyzing
state education records, supplemented by federal crime data,
AP found about 17,000 official reports of sex assaults by stu-
dents in grades K-12 over a recent four-year period. That figure
doesn’t capture the extent of problem because attacks are widely
under-reported and not all states track them or classify them
uniformly.
Macron election gives a gasping
EU a breath of fresh air
BRUSSELS — Tuesday is Europe Day, and this year Euro-
pean Union leaders got to unwrap their present a bit early.
French voters elected as president Emmanuel Macron, whose
platform espouses a stronger EU and a tough line in negotiations
on Britain’s exit from the bloc. Perhaps just as important, they
rejected far-right contender Marine Le Pen, whose EU bashing
knows few bounds.
But if champagne corks are popping in Brussels, beware of
the hangover: Brexit negotiations could go horribly wrong. Ital-
ian elections could see an anti-euro movement become the big-
gest party. Greek finances could wreck the value of the shared
European currency.
Despite overwhelming support for Macron across the conti-
nent, the new French leader remains a political novice, untried
and untested on European issues. And even as he celebrates
European unity, he has argued that the bloc needs a fundamen-
tal retooling.
“It makes it tough to predict how he will act — in France and
also in the EU,” said Hendrik Vos, a European policy analyst at
Ghent University in Belgium.
MTV Awards salute ‘Beauty and
the Beast,’ ‘Stranger Things’
LOS ANGELES — Film hit “Beauty and the Beast” and Net-
flix newcomer “Stranger Things” were the night’s big winners
with two trophies apiece as MTV partied with its Movie & TV
Awards show.
For this, the 26th edition of what was formerly known as
the MTV Movie Awards, TV was added to the mix. “Stranger
Things” was decreed the Show of the Year, and its cast member,
Millie Bobby Brown, was named Best Actor in a Show.
“Beauty and the Beast” was the Movie of the Year, with its
star, Emma Watson, the Best Actor in a Movie.
But the awards had another trick up its sleeve, introducing
a policy of breaking down gender barriers, as men and women
competed jointly in the acting categories.
The policy was put into practice at the top of the show by pre-
senter Asia Kate Dillion, who proudly noted she has been able to
break down gender barriers as “the first openly non-binary actor
to play an openly non-binary actor on a major TV show,” Show-
time’s drama series “Billions.” (A non-binary person is someone
who doesn’t identify with either gender.) Then she presented the
award to Watson.
