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

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
