5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, JUNE 25, 2018 WORLD IN BRIEF Associated Press Pentagon says 2 military bases to house immigrants EIELSON AIR FORCE BASE, Alaska — The Pentagon is preparing to build temporary camps for immigrants at two military bases, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said Sunday. He did not name the two bases, but said the details are being worked out, including how much capacity is needed. The Pentagon had ini- tially talked about four potential bases, but Mat- tis indicated the number is now two. The Pentagon last week said it would make space available on military bases for as many as 20,000 unaccompanied migrant children detained after illegally crossing the U.S.-Mex- ico border. It wasn’t clear Sunday if the hous- ing would be limited strictly to children or if it would also involve families. Speaking to reporters traveling with him to Asia, Mattis said the military has housed people in the past, including Vietnamese fleeing their country as well as Americans needing shelter in the wake of natural disasters. The request for temporary shelter — amid a growing political battle over detained migrants — was made by the Department of Health and Human Services and accepted by the Defense Department. HHS has assessed facilities on four military bases: Little Rock Air Force Base in Arkansas, plus three bases in Texas: Dyess Air Force Base, Goodfellow Air Force Base and Fort Bliss. Trump wants those who ‘invade’ sent right back WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Sunday compared people entering the U.S. from Mexico to invaders and said they should be immediately sent back without appearing before a judge. “We cannot allow all of these people to invade our Country,” the president said on Twit- ter as he was being driven to his private golf club in Northern Virginia. “When somebody comes in, we must immediately, with no Judges or Court Cases, bring them back from where they came. Our system is a mockery to good immigration policy and Law and Order.” The American Civil Liberties Union said in response that such a step would be illegal and violate the Constitution that Trump swore to uphold. “What President Trump has suggested here is both illegal and unconstitutional,” said Omar Jadwat, director of the ACLU’s Immigrants’ Rights Project. Trump has been criticizing immigration judges for weeks, both exaggerating the num- ber currently hearing cases and saying that hir- ing more — as some members of Congress have proposed — would be unnecessary. Trump said during a campaign appearance Saturday in Las Vegas that being for “strong borders, no crime” is a winning issue for Repub- licans to run on in November’s congressional elections. But he bowed to public pressure last week and reversed a policy of separating adults and children who enter the U.S. illegally together at AP Photo/Noah Berger An air tanker drops retardant on a wildfire burning near Clearlake Oaks, Calif. Northern California wildfires prompt evacuations, burn homes SAN FRANCISCO — Hundreds of North- ern California homes and businesses were threatened today after wind-driven wildfires broke out over the weekend, forcing thou- sands of residents to flee their homes through- out rural regions north of San Francisco. The biggest fires continued to grow but that there were no reports of injuries or deaths, California’s Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said. About 3,000 residents evacuated homes in Lake County, about 120 miles north of San Francisco. A wildfire there that was not contained at all grew to 12 square miles and destroyed a dozen homes and buildings. Fire Battalion Chief Jonathan Cox said more than 230 firefighters using helicopters, bulldozers and other equipment were bat- tling the Lake County fire in a rugged area that made it difficult to get equipment close the blaze. “It’s kind of the worst possible combina- tion,” Cox said. Authorities also ordered residents to evac- uate in Tehama County, about 200 miles north of San Francisco, where two wildfires were burning. Officials said hot weather, high winds and dry conditions are fueling the fires less than a year after California’s costliest fires killed 44 people and tore through the state’s wine coun- try in October, causing an estimated $10 bil- lion in damage. the border with Mexico, though his “zero-toler- ance” policy of criminally prosecuting all illegal border-crossers remains. The House is expected to vote on immi- gration legislation this week, though its fate is uncertain. goodwill steps between the Koreas have been taken in recent months. North Korea has deployed an estimated 1,000 artillery pieces and rockets along the 155- mile border, putting the Seoul metropolitan area within its striking distance. Seoul, a capital city with 10 million people, is about 25-30 miles from the border. Many experts have called the North Korean artillery threats “significant” because it can inflict massive casualties and devastate much of Seoul in the initial hours of a war before the much-better-equipped U.S. and South Korean militaries could fully respond. But there are also views that such an assess- ment may be an exaggeration as the North’s artillery guns in general have poor accuracy and cannot destroy hard concrete structures. During a North Korean artillery strike on a South Korean border island in 2010 that killed four people, 90 of the 170 shells fired by the North fell into the sea while 30 of the 80 shells that reached the island didn’t explode, according to military commentator Lee Illwoo. the past 15 years, prepared today to extend his rule and take on sweeping new powers after his victory in the country’s landmark presiden- tial and parliamentary elections. Turkey’s High Electoral Board declared Erdogan, 64, the winner of Sunday’s votes, which usher in a new executive presidential system in which the prime minister’s post is eliminated and executive powers are trans- ferred to the president, who rules with only limited checks and balances. The Turkish leader is accused by critics of adopting increasingly authoritarian tac- tics but is loved by supporters for bringing prosperity and stability. Erdogan may be facing rough times ahead, however, because analysts predict an economic downturn for Turkey amid rising inflation and a struggling currency. His win could also deepen Turkey’s rift with its Western and NATO allies, who are already concerned by the country’s setbacks in democracy and human rights as well as Tur- key’s closer ties with Russia. Russian Presi- dent Vladimir Putin sent Erdogan a telegram today, congratulating him on his victory, one of the first world leaders to do so. Some 50,000 people have been arrested and more than 110,000 civil servants have been fired in a massive government crack- down after a failed coup in 2016. The state of emergency imposed after the coup is still in place. Koreas discuss removing North’s artillery from tense border SEOUL, South Korea — The rival Koreas are discussing the possible relocation of North Korea’s long-range artillery guns away from the tense Korean border, South Korea’s prime minister said today, as the countries forge ahead with steps to lower tensions and extend a recent detente. If realized, it would be yet another concilia- tory step by North Korea since it entered talks on giving up its nuclear weapons earlier this year. But some experts say it might be a tactic to push Seoul and Washington to withdraw their more sophisticated artillery systems from front- line areas in return for pulling back its outdated conventional weapons. In a speech marking the 68th anniversary of the start of the 1950-53 Korean War, Prime Minister Lee Nak-yon said that “moving (North Korea’s) long-range artillery to the rear is under discussion,” as he explained what types of M ONDAY E VENING (2) (-) (-) (6) (-) (8) (9) (10) (12) (13) (-) (20) (-) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) L KATU KOMO KING KOIN KIRO KGW KRCW KOPB KPTV KPDX KCPQ TBS KZJO ESPN ESPN2 NICK DISN FAM FMC LIFE ROOT FS1 SPIKE COM HIST A&E TLC DISC NGEO TNT AMC USA FOOD HGTV FX CNN FNC CNBC BRAV TCM SYFY RFD (2) (4) (5) (-) (7) (-) (3) (10) (12) (-) (13) (20) (22) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) 6 PM ANKARA, Turkey — Recep Tayyip Erdo- gan, who has dominated Turkish politics for SCHEDULE THE DAILY ASTORIAN A Turkey’s victorious Erdogan set to assume sweeping powers Evening listings MONDAY J UNE 25 A - Charter Astoria/ Seaside - L - Charter Long Beach 6:30 7 PM 7:30 8 PM 8:30 9 PM 9:30 10 PM 10:30 11 PM 11:30 KATU News at 6 (N) Wheel of Fortune The Bachelorette (N) The Proposal (N) KATU News (N) (:35) Jimmy Kimmel Jeopardy!
