| Immigration Offenses Topped List of Federal Crimes in FY 2018 Posted: 13 May 2019 09:34 AM PDT  Immigration offenses became the biggest category of federal crime in fiscal year 2018, surpassing the number of drug offenses.Crimes relating to immigration comprised 34.4 percent of all federal sentencing cases, an increase from last year's 30 percent, according to the United States Sentencing Commission's annual report. While the vast majority of crimes in the U.S., including most violent crimes, are dealt with at the state level, immigration offenses stand out as as category under the purview of federal authorities.96.3 percent of the 23,883 immigration cases recorded in the report involved Hispanics, 92.7 percent of them male. Approximately 94.7 percent of the cases led to prison sentences, and 13,500 led to supervised release. Only 866 cases involved a defendant under 21 years old."In fiscal year 2018, 54.3 percent of all offenders were Hispanic, 21.2 percent were white, 20.6 percent were black, and 3.8 percent were of another race. Non-U.S. citizens accounted for 42.7 percent of all federal offenders," the report stated.Drug offenses were the second most common type of federal crime in fiscal year 2018, at 28.1 percent of all cases. Firearms offenses placed third at 10.8 percent and fraud-related crimes came fourth at 9.5 percent.The new numbers coincide with an increasing flood of migrants at the southern border, including a record number of families in March, a crisis the Trump administration has attempted to address with its "no tolerance" policy for those who cross the border between ports of entry.Earlier this month, the White House asked Congress for $4.5 billion in emergency funds to deal with the crisis, including $3.3 billion for humanitarian assistance and $1.1 billion for law-enforcement operations. Democrats have objected to the request, but the White House Budget Office has warned that the Office of Refugee Resettlement and other programs are at risk of running out of funding by the beginning of the summer.

| Saudi Arabia Says Its Oil Pipelines Are Under Attack From Drones Posted: 14 May 2019 06:11 AM PDT  REUTERS/Sergio MoraesTwo days after it claimed two of its oil tankers were seriously damaged in sabotage attacks, Saudi Arabia now says its oil pipelines are being systematically attacked by drones.Its the latest in a string of incidents that are seriously endangering stability in the Middle East. Aside from the alleged ship sabotage and drone attacks, Iran announced last week that it would be quitting parts of the 2015 nuclear deal, and the White House has been mulling plans to send 120,000 troops to the Middle East to prepare for an attack from Tehran.Shortly after Saudi Arabia claimed that drones were attacking its oil infrastructure, Yemen's Houthi rebels, who have been at war with Saudi Arabia since 2015, said they had launched a series of drone attacks. A rebel spokesman told the Associated Press: "This is a message to Saudi Arabia, stop your aggression ... Our goal is to respond to the crimes they are committing everyday against the Yemeni people."The state-run Saudi Press Agency carried a statement from Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih saying that drones had attacked a petroleum pumping station which supplies a major pipeline running from its Eastern Province to a port on the Red Sea. Oil has now stopped running through it.AP reports that Saudi Arabia is claiming two petroleum pumping stations near the capital, Riyadh, have also been the victim of what it called "limited targeting," but it didn't elaborate on what damage had been done.Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih called the alleged attacks "cowardly" and said they could threaten the world's energy supply and global economy, and added that the international community must now take a stronger line against the Houthis. He said Saudi oil exports won't be stopped.The alleged attacks come as the oil industry is still reeling from reports that four oil tankers were sabotaged off the United Arab Emirates. Despite that incident happening on Sunday, hard details are yet to emerge. No perpetrators have been officially named, and satellite images obtained by AP showed that no substantial damage to the ships is visible.An unnamed U.S. official intervened in the situation by speculating that Iran or its allies were behind the ship attacks and used explosives to blow holes in the vessels. That accusation, which has not been backed up with evidence, comes at a time when Iran and the U.S. are engaged in increasingly fraught relations.The New York Times reported late Monday that 120,000 troops could be sent to the Middle East to prepare for an Iranian attack American forces or an acceleration of its nuclear weapons program. Donald Trump warned at the beginning of the week: "We'll see what happens with Iran. If they do anything, it would be a very bad mistake."With tensions in the region at boiling point, the United Nations deputy spokesman Farhan Haq urged "all concerned parties to exercise restraint for the sake of regional peace, including by ensuring maritime security."Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

| Despite falling numbers, immigration remains divisive EU issue Posted: 14 May 2019 05:47 AM PDT  On the face of it, Europe's migrant crisis appears over, but the shockwaves still resound around the continent ahead of this month's European Parliament election, and nationalist politicians are looking to capitalize on the continued tumult. "The most important thing is that leaders are elected who oppose immigration so that Europe will be in a position to defend itself," Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on the sidelines of an EU summit in Romania last week. Opponents accuse far-right and populist parties of grossly exaggerating the problem, but the issue still resonates, with a YouGov poll published on Monday showing that immigration was currently the voters' top concern, followed by climate change.

| California jury orders Monsanto to pay $2 billion damages to a couple who got cancer from Roundup weedkiller Posted: 13 May 2019 11:40 PM PDT  A jury in California on Monday ordered Bayer-owned Monsanto to pay more than $2 billion damages to a couple that sued on grounds the weed killer Roundup caused their cancer, lawyers said. The award was the latest in a series of court defeats for Monsanto over Roundup. The company insists the glyphosate-based product is not linked to cancer. The couple's legal team described the damages award as "historic," saying it totaled $2.055 billion after adding in slightly more than $55 million in compensatory damages. "The jury saw for themselves internal company documents demonstrating that, from day one, Monsanto has never had any interest in finding out whether Roundup is safe," said plaintiff's counsel Brent Wisner. "Instead of investing in sound science, they invested millions in attacking science that threatened their business agenda." The case marked the third courtroom defeat for Bayer in cases accusing the chemicals in Roundup of causing cancer Credit: JEAN-FRANCOIS MONIER/ AFP In a statement, Bayer said it was disappointed with the jury's decision and would appeal the verdict, which it argues was at odds with a recent US Environmental Protection Agency review of glyphosate-based weed killers. "The consensus among leading health regulators worldwide is that glyphosate-based products can be used safely and that glyphosate is not carcinogenic," Bayer said. The verdict in a California state court in Oakland was the third courtroom defeat for Bayer in cases accusing the chemicals in Roundup of causing cancer. Glyphosate developer Monsanto was convicted in the United States in 2018 and 2019 of not taking necessary steps to warn of the potential risks of Roundup - their weedkiller containing the chemical, which two California juries found caused cancer in two users. "Unlike the first two Monsanto trials, where the judges severely limited the amount of plaintiffs' evidence, we were finally allowed to show a jury the mountain of evidence showing Monsanto's manipulation of science, the media and regulatory agencies to forward their own agenda despite Roundup's severe harm to the animal kingdom and humankind," said attorney Michael Miller, who was co-lead trial counsel along with Wisner. Bayer announced last month that over 13,000 lawsuits related to the weedkiller had been launched in the US. The stunning verdict came the same day that German chemical giant Bayer admitted that its subsidiary Monsanto could have kept lists of key figures - for or against pesticides - in European countries. Bayer apologised on Sunday after it emerged that Monsanto had a PR agency collate lists of French politicians, scientists and journalists, with their views on pesticides and GM crops. "I think it's very likely that such lists also exist in other European countries," Matthias Berninger, Bayer's head of Public Affairs, told journalists in a conference call. Berninger said he "firmly believes that other countries in Europe will be affected. "We consider what we have seen so far to be completely inappropriate," he said. "However, we were of the opinion that the reports of these dealings with journalists, politicians and activists are not in order and not in agreement with what Bayer stands for." The German agro-chemicals and drugs giant finalised the acquisition of the US company Monsanto last year for $63 billion. But the deal has turned out to be plagued with other massive costs. Just two months after the acquisition was completed, Monsanto lost a case to a school groundskeeper suffering from terminal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. He had sued the company over the glyphosate weedkillers Roundup and Ranger Pro. Monsanto was initially ordered to pay $289 million to Johnson, before the damages were reduced to $78.5 million. In March, the company lost another case to an American retiree who blames his cancer on the weedkiller, and was ordered by a court to pay $80 million to the plaintiff. French authorities have opened a preliminary enquiry into claims Monsanto had information illegally collected on the views and pliability of hundreds of high-profile figures and media outlets. Monsanto allegedly had public relations agency FleishmanHillard draw up files on their opinions on the controversial weedkiller glyphosate and on genetically modified crops.

| Sri Lanka blocks social media and imposes curfew after anti-Muslim attacks Posted: 13 May 2019 10:52 AM PDT  Sri Lanka temporarily blocked social media networks and messaging apps and imposed a nationwide curfew on Monday after the worst outbreak of anti-Muslim violence since the Easter Sunday attacks. The murder of over 250 people by suicide bombers at three churches and three luxury hotels was claimed by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The riots, apparently sparked by a row on Facebook, began on Sunday as mobs attacked three mosques and many Muslim-owned businesses in Chilaw, some 40km north of capital Colombo, before the military stepped in. Nalaka Kaluwewa, the chief of the Information Department said the ban on social media was intended "to prevent misinformation from being circulated and also to prevent spreading of information that would harm communal harmony." Police said a curfew would be enforced until further notice in the country's North Western region, and until Tuesday morning in the rest of the nation. The violence in Chilaw spread to the adjoining Buddhist-majority Kurunegala district, where mobs were heard shouting "we will kill you," while attacking Muslim businesses and homes. Shops were vandalised in the violence Credit: REX Kurunegala, the electorate of former president Mahinda Rajapaksha, has been the flashpoint of serious anti-Muslim clashes led by Buddhist extremists in the past. On Sunday night, a petrol bomb was thrown into a mosque while worshipers were leaving after their Ramadan night prayers in Koslanda, also in the Kurunegala district. "We now lock the gates after the congregation comes due to security reasons. Just as the congregation was leaving, two men came on a motorbike and threw a petrol bomb that came crashing through the glass," said a 35-year-old mosque volunteer who did not want to be named. "It was terrifying because there were still people inside the mosque. Fortunately, it did not detonate because the fuse went off." The aftermath of the attacks have stirred sectarian tensions in the Buddhist-majority country. Local residents accused Buddhist extremists of being behind some of the violence. Military and special forces were deployed on Monday evening to guard mosques in the Kurunegala district, while police held special meetings with Muslim civil communities and mosque authorities to discuss security strategies. Mosques around the country have been under heavy guard by the military since the Easter bombing attacks. Children under 13 and older people have been asked not to attend prayers, funeral or wedding services in case of emergency evacuations or bombings.

| Consumer Insolvencies in Canada Climb to Highest in 8 Years Posted: 13 May 2019 07:34 AM PDT  The Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcies reported consumer insolvencies rose 5.7% to 11,963 in March, compared with 11,315 in the same month a year earlier.

In volume terms, however, insolvencies are still well below the peak of more than 15,000 reached in September 2009, in the aftermath of the financial crisis.
