6A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • FRIDAY, JUNE 22, 2018 WORLD IN BRIEF tive voters. Just Tuesday, he met privately with GOP lawmakers and told them he supported the immigration legislation and would have their backs in November. Trump’s history of turnabouts has made it harder for congressional leaders to win over other lawmakers for the immigration bill. The measure would grant young “Dreamer” immi- grants who arrived in the U.S. illegally as chil- dren a chance for citizenship — a move many Republicans worry would enrage conservative voters who’d view it as amnesty. Despite Trump’s stance, House Major- ity Leader Kevin McCarthy said the chamber would press ahead on legislation next week. Differences between conservative and moder- ate Republicans delayed a vote initially planned for Thursday. The bill would also require the government to separate fewer migrant children from parents when they are detained and finance Trump’s proposed wall with Mexico. Associated Press Justices adopt digital- age privacy rules to track cellphones WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court ruled today that police generally need a search warrant if they want to track criminal suspects’ movements by collecting information about where they’ve used their cellphones, bolstering privacy interests in the digital age. The justices’ 5-4 decision marks a big change in how police may obtain cellphone tower records, an important tool in criminal investigations. Chief Justice John Roberts, joined by the court’s four liberals, said cellphone loca- tion information “is detailed, encyclopedic and effortlessly compiled.” Roberts wrote that “an individual maintains a legitimate expec- tation of privacy in the record of his physical movements” as they are captured by cellphone towers. Roberts said the court’s decision is limited to cellphone tracking information and does not affect other business records, including those held by banks. He also wrote that police still can respond to an emergency and obtain records without a warrant. Justices Anthony Kennedy, Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch each wrote dissenting opinions. Kennedy wrote that the court’s “new and uncharted course will inhibit law enforcement” and “keep defendants and judges guessing for years to come.” Roberts does not often line up with his lib- eral colleagues against a unified front of conser- vative justices, but digital-age privacy cases can cross ideological lines, as when the court unan- imously said in 2014 that a warrant is needed before police can search the cellphone of some- one they’ve just arrested. The court ruled in the case of Timothy Car- penter, who was sentenced to 116 years in prison for his role in a string of robberies of Radio Shack and T-Mobile stores in Michigan and Ohio. Cell tower records that investigators got without a warrant bolstered the case against Carpenter. Trump undercuts House GOP: Don’t waste time on immigration WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump told his fellow Republicans in Congress today to “stop wasting their time” on immigra- tion legislation until after the November elec- tions. GOP leaders said they’d press on anyway, AP Photo/Matt York People gather at Saint Mark Catholic Church for a solidarity with migrants vigil Thursday in El Paso, Texas. Confusion swirls on border after Trump reversal on families McALLEN, Texas — President Donald Trump’s order to stop separating migrant children from their parents spread confusion along the border, with officials still working on a plan to reunite families while sending conflicting signals about the state of the administration’s “zero tolerance” policy. Parents who remained locked up struggled to get in touch with children being held in many cases hundreds of miles away. Some said they didn’t even know where their children were. Others said they had been deported without them. A senior Trump administration official said that about 500 of the more than 2,300 children taken from their families at the border in recent weeks have been reunited since May. Federal agencies are working to set up a centralized reunification process for all remaining children at a detention center on the Texas side of the border. There were also signs that the administration is dialing back, for now at least, its “zero tol- erance” policy of prosecuting all adults caught crossing the border illegally. The federal public defender’s office for the region that covers El Paso to San Antonio said Thursday that federal prosecutors would be dismissing cases in which parents were charged with illegally entering the country and separated from their children. But the Justice Department denied “zero tolerance” has been rolled back. “There has been no change to the department’s zero tolerance policy to prosecute adults who cross our border illegally instead of claiming asylum at any port of entry at the border,” spokeswoman Sara Isgur Flores said. but his comments further damaged their attempt to win over wavering lawmakers for a measure already facing likely defeat. A little more than four months before the congressional elections, Trump also took a new shot at Democratic lawmakers, accusing them of spreading “phony stories of sadness and grief” about young immigrants separated from parents by his “zero tolerance” policy on illegal border crossings. Trump’s tweet on immigration legislation was the latest example of his abrupt reversals on issues, to the dismay of Republicans who crave his backing as a seal of approval for conserva- EU imposes tariffs on US peanuts, motorcycles and whiskey BRUSSELS — The European Union started enforcing tariffs today on American imports like bourbon, peanut butter and orange juice, part of a growing global trade rift that’s likely to inten- sify over the next few weeks. The EU tariffs on $3.4 billion worth of U.S. products are in retaliation for duties the Trump administration has imposed on European steel and aluminum. The EU trade commissioner has acknowl- edged that the EU targeted some iconic Amer- ican items to put political pressure on Presi- dent Donald Trump and senior U.S. politicians. European Commission spokesman Alexander Winterstein said the EU’s response is propor- tionate and reasonable. Daniel Gros, director for Economy and Finance at the Center for European Policy Stud- ies, said that in a trade war everyone stands to lose, but the U.S. has put itself in a worse position. “I think the United States is losing more because it has put tariffs on a very import- ant input which very often it doesn’t produce itself,” he said. “The EU perhaps will find a few disgruntled consumers who have to pay more for their Harley Davidsons, but that is not a big loss for us.” Trump imposed tariffs of 25 percent on EU steel and 10 percent on aluminum on June 1. Europeans claim that breaks global trade rules. The spat is part of a wider tussle over global trade. In two weeks, the United States will start taxing $34 billion in Chinese goods. Beijing has vowed to immediately retaliate with its own tar- iffs on U.S. soybeans and other farm products. o regon h unters A ssociAtion c lAtsop c ounty c hApter Clatsop County Chapter-Oregon Hunters Association “THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT” Proceeds from our Annual Fund Raising Events are used locally to support the organization’s mission: “To Provide: Abundant/Huntable Wildlife Resources in Oregon for Present and Future Generations, Enhancement of Wildlife Habitat, and Protection of Hunter’s Rights.” **************************************************** *****2018 Sponsors & Donors***** A Coastal Lock-N-Key LLC Englund Marine Supply North Coast Truck Center All Metals Fabrication Eureka Outfitters Northwest E-Bike Allen Johnson F/V Maverick OCD Performance & Off Road Archers Afield Farm House Funk Ocean Lodge – Cannon Beach Bank of the Pacific – Astoria Fishhawk Fisheries ODFW – Jewell WMA Barry Minkoff Fred J.
