WORLD IN BRIEF
Officer charged
Supreme Court deals big with homicide in
setback to labor unions shooting of black teen
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court
ruled today that government workers can’t
be forced to contribute to labor unions that
represent them in collective bargaining,
dealing a serious financial blow to organized
labor.
The court’s conservative majority scrapped
a 41-year-old decision that had allowed states
to require that public employees pay some fees
to unions that represent them, even if the work-
ers choose not to join.
The 5-4 decision fulfills a longtime wish
of conservatives to get rid of the so-called fair
share fees that non-members pay to unions in
roughly two dozen states. Organized labor is a
key Democratic constituency.
The court ruled that the laws violate the
First Amendment by compelling workers to
support unions they may disagree with.
“States and public-sector unions may no
longer extract agency fees from nonconsent-
ing employees,” Justice Samuel Alito said in
his majority opinion in the latest case in which
Justice Neil Gorsuch, an appointee of Presi-
dent Donald Trump, provided a key fifth vote
for a conservative outcome.
In dissent, Justice Elena Kagan wrote of the
big impact of the decision. “There is no sugar-
coating today’s opinion. The majority over-
throws a decision entrenched in this Nation’s
law — and its economic life — for over 40
years. As a result, it prevents the American
people, acting through their state and local
officials, from making important choices about
workplace governance. And it does so by
weaponizing the First Amendment, in a way
that unleashes judges, now and in the future,
to intervene in economic and regulatory
policy.”
The court’s three other liberal justices
joined the dissent.
EAST PITTSBURGH, Pa. — A white
police officer was charged today with homicide
in the shooting of an unarmed black teenager
who fled a traffic stop last week, and investi-
gators said the officer gave inconsistent state-
ments about whether he saw a gun in the teen’s
hand.
East Pittsburgh officer Michael Rosfeld first
told investigators that the teen turned his hand
toward him when he ran from the car and he
“saw something dark he perceived as a gun,”
according to the criminal complaint.
During a second recap of the shooting, Ros-
feld told investigators he did not see a gun and he
was not sure if the teen’s arm was pointed at him
when he fired at 17-year-old Antwon Rose Jr.
The 30-year-old officer had been sworn in
just hours before the June 19 shooting after
working at the police department for a couple
weeks. He turned himself in, was arraigned and
released on $250,000 bond. He is scheduled to
appear in court July 6.
Authorities have said Rose and another teen,
who was arrested this week , fled after being
pulled over on suspicion they were involved in
a drive-by shooting. Rose was shot three times
— in the right side of his face, his back and his
elbow. The bullet fired through Rose’s back
struck his lung and heart.
His death has fueled daily protests around
Pittsburgh.
Trump celebrates
victories for 3
endorsed candidates
NEW YORK — As Donald Trump’s party
came together, a 28-year-old liberal activist
ousted top House Democrat Joe Crowley in the
president’s hometown Tuesday night, a stun-
ning defeat that suddenly forced Democrats to
confront their own internal divisions.
Crowley, the No. 4 House Democrat and
until Tuesday considered a possible candidate
to replace Nancy Pelosi as leader, becomes the
first Democratic incumbent to fall this primary
season. He was beaten by underfunded chal-
lenger Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a former Ber-
nie Sanders organizer who caught fire with the
party’s left wing.
Crowley’s loss echoed across the political
world, sending the unmistakable message that
divisions between the Democratic Party’s prag-
matic and more liberal wings may be widening
heading into the high-stakes November mid-
term elections. It also exposed a generational
divide among Democrats still struggling with
their identity in the Trump era.
All three of Trump’s endorsed candidates
survived primary challenges. Those included
New York Rep. Dan Donovan, who defeated
convicted felon Michael Grimm in New York
City’s only Republican stronghold, and former
Republican presidential nominee Mitt Rom-
ney, who once branded Trump “a fraud” but has
warmed to the president in the past two years.
Gov. Henry McMaster, one of the presi-
dent’s earliest and strongest supporters, sur-
vived an unusually tough challenge from a
political newcomer, self-made Republican mil-
lionaire John Warren.
White House faces hard
deadline on reunited
migrant families
McALLEN, Texas — The clock is ticking
for the Trump administration after a federal
judge ordered the thousands of migrant chil-
dren and parents who were forcibly separated
at the Mexican border reunited within 30 days,
sooner for youngsters under 5.
The hard deadline was set Tuesday night by
U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw in San Diego
after President Donald Trump’s order ending
his policy of separating families gave way to
days of uncertainty, conflicting information and
no word from the administration on when par-
ents might see their children again.
“This situation has reached a crisis level,”
Sabraw wrote.
Sabraw, an appointee of Republican Pres-
ident George W. Bush, said children under 5
must reunited with their parents within 14 days.
He also issued a nationwide injunction
against further family separations, unless the
parent is deemed unfit or doesn’t want to be
with the child, and ordered the government to
provide phone contact between parents and
their children within 10 days.
Pregnancy center ruling
a blow for abortion-
rights advocates
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — In knock-
ing down a California law aimed at regulat-
ing anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers, the
U.S. Supreme Court delivered a blow to abor-
tion-rights supporters who saw the law as a
crucial step toward beating back the national
movement against the procedure.
Democratic-led California became the first
state in 2016 to require the centers to provide
information about access to birth control and
abortion, and it came as Republican-led states
ramped up their efforts to thwart abortion rights.
Despite the court’s 5-4 decision Tuesday,
abortion-rights advocates pledged to keep fight-
ing what they call “fake health centers,” but
their next steps weren’t immediately clear.
Anti-abortion rights groups, meanwhile,
hailed the ruling as a victory for free speech and
said the law coerced crisis pregnancy centers
into providing information about services they
don’t support. Thomas Glessner, president of the
National Institute for Family and Life Advocates,
which had sued over California’s law, called it a
“great day for pro-life pregnancy centers.”
Funeral homes: ‘It doesn’t matter if they’re homeless. ... It’s a human being’

Board, following a lengthy
application process, may then
reimburse up to $461.
“This is so much of a pro-
cess for so little money,” Alca-
ntara said.
The indigent reimburse-
ment fund is based on money
taken from death filing fees.
State law requires that $6 of
every $20 fee be put into the
fund.
Funeral homes are required
to explore numerous other
avenues for reimbursement
before receiving money from
the state. Within five days of
receiving a body, they must
confirm if the person has the
means to pay through his or
her estate, attempt to locate
family, check if the person has
unclaimed property through
the state that may help off-
set costs, contact any friends
or organizations that may
help and reach out to the U.S.
Department of Veteran Affairs
in case they are eligible for
benefits.
The requirements, part of
the law passed in 2015, may
be a factor in the lower num-
ber of indigent cases, said
Sarah Casey, indigent dispo-
sition specialist for the Mor-
tuary and Cemetery Board.
“They have a lot more hoops
to jump through now, but they
are helpful hoops,” she said.
If no payment source can be
found within 10 days, funeral
homes must offer the body
to an educational or research
institution. It’s the final step
before funeral homes can

John R. Alcantara said the mortuary has handled two indi-
gent cases in the past two years.
apply for reimbursement, and
it typically is not successful.

funeral homes located more
than 100 miles away —
including those in Clatsop
County — $670 for cadavers.
Out of 376 requests by funeral
homes last year, the university
only accepted 16, said Steven
Carmichael, the school’s body
donation director.
To be useful for student
research, bodies must not have
muscle atrophy, potentially
carry contagious diseases or
have an unusual height-weight
proportion. Funeral homes,
however, often render the
body unusable by waiting lon-
ger than the required 10 days
to contact the school, Carmi-
chael said.
“Most of them have been
dead too long before the
funeral homes bother to call
us,” Carmichael said.
The Mortuary and Ceme-
tery Board’s $461 reimburse-
ment limit was based on fig-
ures kept before the new
law went into effect. Prior to
the law, the Oregon Health
Authority oversaw the indi-
gent fund.
“We were conservative
when we first started because
this was a new program we
were running,” Casey said.
“In the next couple years, I
see that reimbursement rate
rising.”
Like many who die alone
and without money, Alcan-
tara was homeless for a few
years while living out of a van
in Los Angeles. Regardless of
the expense and the bureau-
cracy, he sees value in per-
forming the cremations.
“It doesn’t matter if they’re
homeless and on the street.
It’s a human being,” Alcantara
said. “I’ve been there, done
that. I can see the humanity
behind it.”
