5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20, 2018 Trump says he’ll be ‘signing something’ on detained children By JILL COLVIN and COLLEEN LONG Associated Press WASHINGTON — Pres- ident Donald Trump said he would be signing an executive order later today that would end the process of separating chil- dren from families after they are detained crossing the bor- der illegally. “We want to keep families together. It’s very important,” Trump told reporters during a White House meeting with members of Congress. “I’ll be signing something in a little while that’s going to do that.” The effort would mark a dra- matic departure for an adminis- tration that has been insisting, wrongly, that it has no choice but to separate families appre- hended at the border because of the law and a court decision. Homeland Security Secre- tary Kirstjen Nielsen, the pres- ident and other officials have repeatedly said the only way to end the practice is for Con- gress to pass new legislation, though both Democrats and some Republicans have said the president could reverse it by himself. The news in recent days has been dominated by searing images of children held in cages at border facilities, as well as audio recordings of young chil- dren crying for their parents — images that have sparked fury, question of morality and con- cern from Republicans about a negative impact on their races in November’s midterm elections. AP Photo/Evan Vucci President Donald Trump speaks during a meeting today with Republican members of Congress on immigration in the Cabinet Room of the White House. Trump pointed to those images in his meeting, saying they’d “affect everybody” but that he was torn. “We want the heart,” he said, “but we also want strong borders and we want no crime.” Trump had tweeted earlier today, “It’s the Democrats fault, they won’t give us the votes needed to pass good immi- gration legislation. They want open borders, which breeds horrible crime. Republicans want security. But I am work- ing on something - it never ends!” The administration recently put into place a “zero tol- erance” policy in which all unlawful border crossings are referred for prosecution — a process that moves adults to the custody of the U.S. Mar- shals Service and sends many children to facilities run by the Department of Health and Human Services. Under the Obama administration, such families were usually referred for civil deportation proceed- ings, not requiring separation. The policy had led to a spike in family separations in recent weeks, with more than 2,300 minors were separated from their families at the bor- der from May 5 through June 9, according to the Department of Homeland Security. The action, according to people familiar with it, wouldn’t end the zero tolerance policy, but would aim to keep families together. Justice Department law- yers have been working to find a legal workaround for a class-action lawsuit settlement that set policies for the treat- ment and release of unaccom- panied children who are caught at the border, or crafting an order that would defy the set- tlement and force it back into court to argue for changes. WORLD IN BRIEF ative or sponsor in the community as they await immigration court hearings. Associated Press Youngest migrants held in ‘tender age’ shelters The Trump administration has set up at least three “tender age” shelters where it can lock up babies and other young children who have been forcibly separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border. Doctors and lawyers who have visited the shelters in South Texas’ Rio Grande Valley said the facilities were fine, clean and safe, but the children — who have no idea where their par- ents are — were hysterical, crying and acting out . Many of them are under age 5, and some are so young they’ve not yet learned to talk. The government also plans to open a fourth shelter to house hundreds of young migrant chil- dren in Houston, where city leaders denounced the move Tuesday. Since the White House announced its zero tolerance policy in early May, more than 2,300 children have been taken from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border, resulting in an influx of young children requiring government care. The government has already faced withering critiques over images of some of the children in cages inside U.S. Border Patrol processing sta- tions. It faced renewed criticism for setting up new places to hold these toddlers, decades after orphanages were phased out over concerns about the lasting trauma to children. “The thought that they are going to be put- ting such little kids in an institutional setting? I mean it is hard for me to even wrap my mind around it,” said Kay Bellor, vice president for programs at Lutheran Immigration and Ref- ugee Service, which provides foster care and other child welfare services to migrant children. “Toddlers are being detained.” By law, child migrants traveling alone must be sent to facilities run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services within three days of being detained. The agency then is responsible for placing the children in shelters or foster homes until they are united with a rel- US leaving UN’s Human Rights Council, cites anti-Israel bias WASHINGTON — The United States is leaving the United Nations’ Human Rights Council, which Ambassador Nikki Haley called “an organization that is not worthy of its name.” It’s the latest withdrawal by the Trump adminis- tration from an international institution. Haley said Tuesday the U.S. had given the human rights body “opportunity after oppor- tunity” to make changes. She lambasted the council for “its chronic bias against Israel” and lamented the fact that its membership includes accused human rights abusers such as China, Cuba, Venezuela and Congo. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, appearing alongside Haley at the State Department, said there was no doubt that the council once had a “noble vision.” But today we need to be honest,” Pompeo said. “The Human Rights Council is a poor defender of human rights.” The announcement came just a day after the U.N. human rights chief, Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein, denounced the Trump administration for sepa- rating migrant children from their parents. But Haley cited longstanding U.S. complaints that the 47-member council is biased against Israel. She had been threatening the pull-out since last year unless the council made changes advocated by the U.S. Still, she suggested the decision need not be permanent, adding that if the council did adopt reforms, “we would be happy to rejoin it.” She said the withdrawal notwithstanding, the U.S. would continue to defend human rights at the United Nations. The move extends a broader Trump admin- istration pattern of stepping back from inter- national agreements and forums under the president’s “America First” policy.

The battle for Twenty-First Century Fox reflects a new imperative among entertainment and telecommunications firms. They are amass- ing ever more programming to better compete with technology companies such as Amazon and Netflix for viewers’ attention — and dollars. The bidding war comes after AT&T bought Time Warner for $81 billion. Disney’s move had been expected since Com- cast made its bid last week. Disney said it’s rais- ing its offer because Fox’s value increased due to “tax reform and operating improvements.” If Disney prevails, “Avatar” and other mov- ies from Fox’s studios would help beef up Dis- ney’s upcoming streaming service. Disney, which already owns Marvel, would get back the characters previously licensed to Fox, setting the stage for X-Men and the Avengers to appear together. If Comcast wins, it would get a larger portfolio of cable channels including FX and National Geographic. In a call with analysts, CEO Bob Iger said he believes Disney’s bid is superior to Com- cast’s from a regulatory perspective. He said that six months of dealing with regulators both in the U.S. and internationally has given Disney a “meaningful head start.” Fox previously rejected a bid from an unnamed company, widely believed to be Com- cast, because of fears it would face regulatory objections. But a federal judge’s approval of AT&T’s bid for Time Warner signals that the government might have difficulties mounting antitrust challenges. Divers search Indonesian lake for 192 missing after sinking TIGARAS, Indonesia — Distraught relatives slammed Indonesia’s government for not enforc- ing basic safety measures on passenger boats and pleaded today for a bigger search effort for more than 190 people presumed drowned after a ferry sank on a picturesque Sumatran lake early this week. The wooden vessel, overcrowded with pas- sengers as well as dozens of motorbikes, didn’t have a manifest and disaster officials have sev- eral times raised the number of people it was carrying as family members who rushed to Lake Toba in northern Sumatra provided information. The boat was five times over its passenger capacity of 43 and equipped with only 45 life jackets. The latest information is that 192 peo- ple are missing. Only 18 survivors have been found — in bad weather within hours of the sinking Monday evening, which occurred in waters at least 984 feet deep but only a third of a mile from an island that’s popular with visitors to the lake. It’s possible many of the victims were still inside the sunken ferry, said North Sumatra province police chief Paulus Waterpau. “Many survivors told authorities that less than half of them had jumped into the water before the boat sank,” he said. Several dozen divers were searching at depths of up to 82 feet, and an underwater drone was deployed to 656 feet below the surface. More sophisticated underwater search methods require large ships that aren’t available on the lake. The 440-square mile Lake Toba, formed out of an ancient super volcano, is a popular sight- seeing destination on the island of Sumatra and one of 10 stunning natural attractions in Indone- sia that the government aims to develop as mag- nets for international tourists.
