Violence in KC area a growing concern for CABA director

By Angie Baldelomar

Violencia en el área de KC es una preocupación creciente para residentes

E

dgar Galicia, residente del área de Kansas City y director ejecutivo de Central Avenue Better Association, recientemente publicó un video que se volvió viral en Facebook en el que condenaba otro acto de violencia.

“Durante años, hemos luchado contra etiquetas que nos tachan de (ser) criminales, de ser ilegales…, hemos luchado contra las injusticias raciales y sudamos sangre por un futuro mejor”, dijo en el video. “No es justo que estemos perdiendo vidas inocentes a nuestra propia mano”.

En el video, Galicia ofreció sus condolencias a la familia de Daisy Martínez, de 19 años, quien recibió un disparo fatal la noche del 16 de septiembre durante una celebración del Día de la Independencia de México en Southwest Boulevard.

Desde entonces, los fiscales ya han arrestado y acusado a Diego Calderón-Guzmán, de 30 años, de asesinato en segundo grado en el tiroteo que mató a Martínez y dejó a otra mujer herida.

Galicia pidió a todos que ayuden a prevenir más delitos violentos.

“Demostremos que somos buenas personas, demostremos que nos respetamos y ayudamos el uno al otro, apoyamos nuestros esfuerzos”, dijo. “No más violencia en nuestros hogares, no más violencia en nuestros vecindarios, no más violencia en nuestras celebraciones”.

En Kansas City, Missouri, sólo este año, ha habido 145 homicidios hasta ahora. En aproximadamente el 87% de ellos, se utilizó un arma de fuego.

En comparación, en 2019, hubo 148 homicidios en total.

dgar Galicia, a longtime Kansas City E area resident and Central Avenue Better Association executive director, recently posted

a video that went viral on Facebook of himself condemning yet another act of violence.

“For years, we have fought against labels that accuse us of (being) criminals, illegals and such, we have fought against racial injustices and sweat blood for a better future,” he said in the video. “It’s not fair that we are losing innocent lives to our own hands.”

In the video, Galicia offered his condolences to the family of 19-year-old Daisy Martinez, who was fatally shot the night of Sept. 16 during a Mexican Independence Day celebration on Southwest Boulevard.

Since then, prosecutors have charged 30-year-old Diego Calderon-Guzman with second-degree murder in the shooting that killed Martinez and left another woman injured.

Galicia called on everyone to help prevent any more violent crimes.

“Let’s show we are good people, respecting and helping each other, supporting our endeavors, he said. “No more violence in our homes, no more violence in our neighborhoods, no more violence in our celebrations.”

First Presidential Debate Continued from Page 1A

*Trump no condena a los supremacistas blancos: durante la parte del debate que cubrió la injusticia racial y las protestas a nivel nacional que tuvieron lugar, Trump se negó a condenar la supremacía blanca cuando Wallace y Biden le pidieron que lo hiciera.

“Retrocedan y esperen”, dijo en su lugar.

El grupo de milicias supremacistas blancas Proud Boys está usando esa declaración como su nuevo eslogan. *La respuesta de Trump sobre su manejo de COVID-19 fue más de lo mismo: más de 200,000 estadounidenses han muerto a causa del virus, con un repunte nuevamente en algunas partes del país.

La táctica del presidente al defenderse fue insultar la inteligencia de Biden.

En promedio, la mayoría de los votantes dicen que desaprueban el trabajo que está haciendo Trump para manejar la pandemia. *Disputando la elección: Trump no afirmó si instaría a sus seguidores a permanecer pacíficos mientras se cuentan los votos durante las elecciones generales del 3 de noviembre, incluso si hay demoras en informar los resultados.

“Insto a mis seguidores a ir a las urnas y observar con mucho cuidado porque eso es lo que tiene que suceder”, dijo en su lugar.

Biden, por su parte, insistió en que si los estadounidenses votan en grandes cantidades, presumiblemente por él, se podrían evitar elecciones impugnadas. *Trump atacó al hijo de Biden por la adicción a las drogas: se esperaba que el tema de Hunter Biden surgiera en algún momento. Trump y sus aliados han hecho repetidas afirmaciones infundadas y falsas alegando que Biden y su hijo actuaron de manera corrupta en Ucrania.

Cuando Trump atacó al hijo de Biden por problemas pasados con la adicción a las drogas, el ex vicepresidente miró hacia la cámara y abordó el tema, incluso cuando Trump intentaba interrumpir.

“Mi hijo tenía un problema con las drogas, pero lo superó y estoy orgulloso de él”, dijo Biden.

Muchos expertos coinciden en que el momento fue poderoso y podría forjar un vínculo entre Biden y millones de estadounidenses cuyas familias han lidiado con la adicción a las drogas y al alcohol.

El próximo debate presidencial está programado para el 15 de octubre. Steve Scully de C-SPAN será el moderador.

supremacists: During the portion of the debate that covered racial injustice and the nationwide protests that took place, Trump refused to condemn white supremacy when asked to do so by Wallace and Biden.

“Stand back and stand by,” he said instead.

The white supremacist militia group Proud Boys is using that statement as its new slogan. *Trump’s response on his handling of COVID-19 was more of the same: More than 200,000 Americans have died from the virus, with spiking again in some parts of the country.

The president’s tactic when defending himself was to insult Biden’s intelligence.

On average, most voters say they disapprove of the job Trump is doing of handling the pandemic. *Disputing the election: Trump failed to affirm whether he would urge followers to remain peaceful as votes are counted during the Nov. 3 general elections, including if there are delays in reporting the results.

“I’m urging my supporters to go into the polls and watch very carefully because that’s what has to happen,” he said instead.

Biden, for his part, insisted that if Americans vote in large numbers — presumably for him —a contested election could be prevented. *Trump attacked Biden’s son about drug addiction: The topic of Hunter Biden was expected to come up at some point. Trump and his allies have repeatedly made unfounded and false claims alleging that Biden and his son acted corruptly in Ukraine.

When Trump attacked Biden’s son on past issues with drug addiction, the former vice president turned to the camera and addressed the issue, even as Trump sought to interrupt.

“My son had a drug problem, but he’s overcome it and I’m proud of him,” Biden said.

Many experts agree the moment was powerful and could forge a link between Biden and millions of Americans whose families have dealt with drug and alcohol addiction.

The next presidential debate is scheduled for Oct. 15. Steve Scully of C-SPAN will be the moderator.

Violence in KC Area Continued from Page 1A

Galicia dijo que hizo su video para iniciar una conversación sobre el tema e intentar generar un cambio.

“Les pido a que nos involucremos en ser mejores cada día, a que todos nos involucremos a enseñar a nuestra juventud los valores que nos han dado fuerza, que nos han mantenido con vida y nos han ayudado a lograr nuestras metas, y a triunfar en la vida”, dijo. “Eso es lo que nos hace más fuertes y evita que busquemos en la violencia, en el desamor, en las altanerías, la fuerza o la representación que necesitamos”.

Galicia cree que, aunque la gente debe pedir justicia, la comunidad también debe poner toda su energía en evitar que actos como este vuelvan a ocurrir.

“Yo quisiera, y por eso puse ese mensaje, que la conversación fuera más Daisy Martínez. allá del dolor y fuera más allá de la venganza y el lugar de justicia para alguien que ya murió, sino que pensáramos como comunidad en evitar que se pierdan más vidas”, dijo. “Ese es el mensaje”.

In Kansas City, Missouri, this year alone, there have been 145 homicides so far. In about 87% of those, a firearm was used. By comparison, in 2019, there were 148 total homicides.

Galicia said he made his video to start a conversation about the topic and try to generate change.

“I call on everyone to get involved and be better every day, that we all make a compromise to teach our youth the values that have given us strength and have kept us alive, such as self-love and family love,” he said. “Let’s avoid trying to find the strength we need in hate and violence.”

Galicia believes that, though people should ask for justice, the community also needs to put all its energy into preventing acts like this from happening again.

“I’d like, and that is why I put that message (on Facebook), that the conversation goes beyond pain, … revenge and the search for justice for someone who has already died; but rather, that we, as a community, think about preventing more lives from being lost,” he said. “That is the message.”

Domestic Violence Continued from Page 1A

doméstica no han disminuido. Más bien, afirman que las víctimas no pueden conectarse con los servicios. Por ejemplo, los maestros y los médicos tienen menos interacciones con los niños y las familias, y menos oportunidades de informar signos de abuso infantil, que antes de la pandemia.

De hecho, según él New England Journal of Medicine, las cifras locales o nacionales podrían no representar la realidad del abuso doméstico durante la pandemia.

La Encuesta National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence informa que 1 de cada 4 mujeres y 1 de cada 10 hombres sufren abuso doméstico.

Las estadísticas también muestran que la violencia doméstica tiene un efecto desproporcionado en las comunidades de color y otros grupos marginados, incluida la comunidad hispana.

Dejar una relación abusiva puede ser difícil en circunstancias fuera de la pandemia. Pero el coronavirus lo ha hecho aún más difícil para muchas víctimas debido a las órdenes de quedarse en casa y otras restricciones que han dejado a muchas víctimas atrapadas con sus abusadores durante meses.

Para ayudar a detener los incidentes de violencia doméstica en el área, el Departamento de Policía de Kansas City (Missouri) anunció el lunes (28 de septiembre) que se estaba asociando con el Centro Rose Brooks, los tribunales locales, fiscales y los centros de detención. Los oficiales de policía dijeron que el programa, conocido como Kansas City Blueprint for Safety, ha adoptado las mejores prácticas nacionales basadas en investigaciones para manejar el crimen.

El departamento también dijo que actualizaría sus políticas para identificar mejor al agresor principal y brindar más capacitación para ayudar a los oficiales a documentar los casos de abuso para un enjuiciamiento exitoso.

Para aquellos que son víctimas de abuso doméstico, la Asociación de Violencia Doméstica de Kansas Central ofrece una línea directa gratuita en todo el estado las 24 horas, la Línea Directa de Crisis de Kansas. El número es 1-(888)-363-2287.

La línea conecta a las víctimas con profesionales capacitados en defensa de forma gratuita. Las conversaciones permanecen confidenciales, y los profesionales refieren a las personas que llaman a organizaciones y proveedores de servicios locales.

opportunities to report signs of child abuse – than they did before the pandemic. Indeed, according to the New England Journal of Medicine, local or national numbers might not represent the reality of domestic abuse during the pandemic.

The National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey report that 1 in 4 women and 1 in 10 men experience domestic abuse.

Statistics also show that domestic violence has a disproportionate effect on communities of color and other marginalized groups, including the Hispanic community.

Leaving an abusive relationship can be difficult under non-pandemic circumstances.

But the coronavirus has made it even more difficult for many victims because of stayat-home orders and other restrictions that have left many victims trapped with their abusers for months on end.

To help stop area domestic violence incidents, the Kansas City (Missouri) Police Department announced Monday (Sept. 28) that it was partnering with the Rose Brooks Center, local courts, prosecutors and detention centers. Police officials said the program, known as Kansas City Blueprint for Safety, has adopted national, research-based best practices in handling the crime.

The department also said it would update its policies to better identify the primary aggressor and provide more training to help officers document abuse cases for successful prosecution.

For those who the victims of domestic abuse, the Domestic Violence Association of Central Kansas provides a toll-free, 24-hour statewide hotline, the Kansas Crisis Hotline.

The number is 1-(888)-363-2287. The line connects victims with trained advocacy professionals for free. Conversations remain confidential, with professionals referring callers to local service providers and organizations.

Masking to prevent Covid-19 spread Usar máscaras para prevenir la propagación de Covid-19

n la noche del 16 de septiembre, una n the night of Sept. 16, a promising prometedora joven latina perdió su vida E O young Latina lost her life to gunfire a causa de un disparo en el Westside de Kansas on Kansas City’s Westside. Daisy Martinez, City. Daisy Martínez, de 19 años, estaba entre los cientos de personas que se alineaban en Southwest Boulevard para ver acrobacias en los autos. Las imágenes de video del evento son omnipresentes en Internet.

Un sospechoso, Diego Calderón-Guzmán, está bajo custodia y enfrenta cargos. Está detenido con una fianza de medio millón de dólares. Los familiares de Martínez y otros miembros de la comunidad mexicana señalan la “dolorosa ironía” de un mexicano disparando contra una latina mexicana en el Día de la Independencia de México.

Como si la muerte de Daisy durante una celebración improvisada no fuera lo suficientemente horrible, el video de la caótica escena revela otra sorpresa: la ausencia de máscaras. La inspección de imágenes de la

19, was among hundreds of people lining Southwest Boulevard to watch car stunts.

Video footage of the event is ubiquitous on the Internet.

A suspect, Diego Calderon-Guzman is in custody facing charges. He’s being held on a half-million dollar bond. Relatives of Martinez and others in the Mexican community point out the “painful irony” of a Mexican shooting a Mexican Latina on Mexican Independence Day. As if Daisy’s death during an impromptu celebration isn’t horrifying enough, videotape of the chaotic scene reveals another shocker – an absence of masks. Inspection of images of the revelry shows hundreds of people with

juerga muestra a cientos de personas con rostros “desnudos” abarrotando las aceras a lo largo de Southwest Boulevard. Pocas máscaras son visibles.

Noticias recientes agregan gravedad al evento no autorizado, superpoblado y desenmascarado del 16 de septiembre y otros. El martes, las autoridades anunciaron 389 nuevos casos de Covid-19 en el área metropolitana que comprende los condados de Kansas City y Clay, Jackson y Platte en Missouri y los condados de Johnson y Wyandotte en Kansas. Eso es un aumento de los 276 casos hace dos semanas.

También el martes, los funcionarios de salud de Kansas informaron que los condados de Johnson y Wyandotte se encuentran entre los 65 condados del estado con tantos casos nuevos que están en la “zona roja” de la guía de reapertura de escuelas. El mismo día, la administración de Trump anunció que debido a la cantidad de casos nuevos en Missouri, todavía está categorizado como un estado de “zona roja”.

En esta tempestuosa temporada electoral, los residentes de nuestro gran país están en desacuerdo por un tema más grave que la política. Existe una peligrosa desconexión entre las personas que se toman en serio la amenaza del coronavirus y aquellas cuyo comportamiento arrogante pone en peligro a todos los que les rodean; nos impide erradicar la enfermedad mortal y debilitante.

Ambas facciones se manifestaron fuera de la reunión de la Junta de Comisionados del condado de Johnson, Kansas, el 17 de septiembre, mientras los comisionados debatían si extender el mandato de la máscara hasta al menos el 15 de octubre. Los grupos opositores afuera del edificio en Olathe sostenían carteles caseros que expresaban sus respectivos puntos de vista. . Pocas personas cuyos carteles mostraban mensajes como “mi elección”, “el miedo es el verdadero virus” o “el gobierno está exagerando”, llevaban máscaras.

Aparentemente, muchos comparten esos sentimientos. Multitudes de adultos más jóvenes se congregan de cerca los fines de semana frente a los bares, restaurantes y cafeterías de Westport.

Durante el fin de semana del Día del Trabajo, el área recreativa del Lago de Ozarks de Missouri volvió a ser noticia internacional; los propietarios de negocios informaron sobre multitudes récord de todo el país. Los medios de comunicación han informado de fiestas masivas en casas en toda el área metropolitana.

Hasta el martes, al menos 205,654 personas aquí en Estados Unidos han muerto por el coronavirus. También el martes, Kansas y Missouri fueron incluidos por los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades entre los 21 estados donde “la cantidad de casos nuevos es mayor y se mantiene alta”. No es una distinción envidiable. Podemos hacerlo mejor; debemos hacerlo mejor.

“naked” faces crowding the sidewalks along Southwest Boulevard. Few masks are visible.

Recent news adds gravity to the unauthorized, overcrowded, unmasked Sept. 16 event and others. On Tuesday, officials announced 389 new cases of Covid-19 in the metro area comprising Kansas City and Clay, Jackson and Platte counties in Missouri and Johnson and Wyandotte counties in Kansas. That’s up from 276 cases two weeks ago.

Also Tuesday, Kansas health officials reported that Johnson and Wyandotte counties are among 65 counties in the state with so many new cases that they’ve moved into the “red zone” of the school-reopening guide.

The same day, the Trump administration announced that because of the number of new cases in Missouri, it’s still categorized as a “red zone” state.

In this tempestuous election season, the residents of our great country are at odds over an issue graver than politics. There’s a dangerous disconnect between people who take the coronavirus threat seriously and those whose cavalier behavior endangers everyone around them; it’s preventing us from eradicating the deadly, debilitating disease.

Both factions demonstrated outside the Johnson County, Kan., Board of Commissioners’ meeting on Sept. 17 as commissioners debated whether to extend the mask mandate until at least Oct. 15. Opposing groups outside the building in Olathe held homemade signs expressing their respective viewpoints. Few people whose signs blazoned messages such as “my choice,” “fear is the real virus” or “government is overreacting,” wore masks.

Those sentiments are apparently shared by many. Throngs of younger adults congregate closely on weekends outside Westport bars, eateries and coffee shops. Over Labor Day weekend, Missouri’s Lake of the Ozarks recreation area again made international headlines; business owners reported recordbreaking crowds from all over the country.

Media outlets have reported mass house parties across the metro area.

As of Tuesday, at least 205,654 people here in the U.S. have died from the coronavirus.

Also Tuesday, Kansas and Missouri were listed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention among 21 states where the “number of new cases is higher and staying high.” Not an enviable distinction. We can do better; we must do better.

La brutalidad de Maduro

By Jorge Ramos

Hablando con la abogada

Commentary by Tere Siqueira

By Chara (c) 2020 Jorge Ramos (Distributed by The New York Times Syndicate.)

a pregunta es fascinante. ¿Cuánta gente se necesita en L una protesta para derrocar a un dictador? La politóloga de Harvard, Erica Chenoweth, calcula que se necesita, más o menos,

que el 3,5 por ciento de la población de un país salga a protestar para acabar con una dictadura, según una entrevista que dio a la BBC. También cree que un movimiento de protesta tiene el doble de posibilidades de tener éxito si no es violento. La violencia, dice, reduce el apoyo y simpatía de cualquier movimiento.

Pregunta: ¿Cuántos venezolanos tienen que salir a protestar pacíficamente a las calles para derrocar la dictadura de Nicolás Maduro? Con una población de 33 millones de habitantes se necesitaría que unos 1.155.000 venezolanos salieran a exigir la salida de Maduro, si nos basamos en el cálculo de Chenoweth.

El artículo no especifica si los ciudadanos tendrían que salir al mismo tiempo y en el mismo lugar o de manera escalonada y en todo el país.

Pero la realidad es que ha habido múltiples protestas pacíficas contra Maduro desde la muerte de Hugo Chávez en marzo de 2013. Y Maduro sigue en el poder. Entonces, ¿qué ha fallado en Venezuela? Que a los manifestantes los matan, los desaparecen, los encarcelan y los torturan. Eso es lo que ha pasado.

El nuevo reporte de 443 páginas presentado ante el Consejo de Derechos Humanos de Naciones Unidas sobre Venezuela es un terrorífico manual de maldad y crueldad.

Detalla con nombre y apellido los asesinatos, violaciones, mutilaciones y represiones que han sufrido quienes se han opuesto a la dictadura venezolana. Y acusa directamente a Maduro de saber de estas violaciones a los derechos humanos.

“Existen motivos razonables para creer que el Presidente tenía conocimiento de violaciones y crímenes, en particular las detenciones arbitrarias y los actos de tortura o tratos crueles, inhumanos y degradantes, incluidos los actos de violencia sexual”, dice el informe realizado con documentos y entrevistas confidenciales, ya sea en persona o con “conexiones seguras telefónicas o de video”.

Hay más contra Maduro: “Dada su posición de autoridad y control efectivo [...] tenía conocimiento de las violaciones cometidas [...] contra militares disidentes y asociados, en particular, actos de tortura”.

Miles de venezolanos han sido asesinados por oponerse al régimen de Maduro. Sus muertes son reportadas como “resistencia a la autoridad” que, en realidad, es un eufemismo.

Muchas de estas muertes han ocurrido durante manifestaciones o en operaciones para detener a disidentes. En 2019 hubo 5286 muertes por “resistencia a la autoridad” y en 2018 se registraron 7523 personas asesinadas por la misma razón, según los reportes del Observatorio Venezolano de Violencia. Así es como la dictadura desaparece a sus opositores.

Y muchas veces antes los tortura. Un joven de 21 años, detenido tras una protesta en Valencia en 2014, reportó que “mientras estaba en el suelo en posición fetal, un funcionario se le acercó por detrás mientras sostenía un rifle. Usó la punta del rifle para bajar la ropa interior” y “penetró el ano con la punta del rifle, causándole dolor extremo”.

Un sargento detenido en 2019 luego de la publicación de un video en que militares pedían “el apoyo del pueblo de

Venezuela [y que] salgan a las calles” sufre una terrible tortura.

“Le golpearon con un bate y le dieron patadas, incluso en los testículos. Lo asfixiaron con una bolsa, lo electrocutaron en diferentes partes blandas de su cuerpo incluyendo detrás de las orejas y en los testículos [...]. El sargento defecó y los oficiales lo obligaron a comer sus propias heces fecales”. Otros sargentos detenidos sufrieron actos similares, dice el reporte.

Agentes de los servicios de inteligencia (SEBIN) y de la Dirección General de Contrainteligencia Militar (DGCIM) fueron acusados de tener relaciones sexuales con las detenidas, sin ningún tipo de protección. “Mujeres bajo custodia también enfrentaron riesgos adicionales de explotación sexual y sexo transaccional coercitivo”. Y la misión internacional de las Naciones Unidas confirmó la “violación sexual, utilizando partes del cuerpo u objeto”.

Maduro, por supuesto, ha rechazado todas las acusaciones. En una entrevista en Caracas en febrero de 2019 lo confronté con las declaraciones de Hugo Carvajal, exjefe de inteligencia y contrainteligencia militar, quien había dicho sobre Maduro: “Has asesinado a cientos de jóvenes en las calles por reclamar los derechos que les robaste”.

Maduro, molesto, me dijo en la entrevista que “en Venezuela hay un Estado de derecho” y que “nadie puede pretender acusarme a mí de delitos que jamás he cometido”.

Bueno, el extenso y detallado reporte presentado ante las Naciones Unidas claramente establece que en Venezuela no hay un Estado de derecho sino un régimen opresor. Sin libertades ni democracia.

“El poder judicial ‘se arrodilla’ ante el Ejecutivo que dirige absolutamente todo”, cita el informe.

Y este es, precisamente, el contexto de las elecciones para la Asamblea Nacional en diciembre de este año. La oposición está más dividida que nunca. El líder opositor Henrique Capriles quiere participar. “El dilema es luchar o no luchar; y yo he decidido luchar”, dijo. Mientras que el presidente interino, Juan Guaidó, quiere boicotear las elecciones porque no hay ninguna garantía de imparcialidad y transparencia.

La realidad es que las dictaduras, casi nunca, caen con votos.

La naturaleza de todo dictador, como Maduro, es imponer su voluntad y quedarse en el poder lo más posible, utilizando todos los métodos, desde asesinato y tortura, como revela el informe, hasta fraude y corrupción, de lo que se le ha acusado.

Estados Unidos no va a invadir Venezuela. Ya lo dijo Elliott Abrams, asesor del presidente Trump: la oposición no debe esperar soluciones mágicas. La misión de Naciones Unidas dio 65 recomendaciones, empezando por “realizar inmediatamente investigaciones rápidas, eficaces y exhaustivas”. Eso no va a ocurrir por iniciativa del régimen. Un dictador no se investiga a sí mismo. Entonces no queda más que seguir luchando y protestando desde dentro.

El costo, hasta el momento, ha sido altísimo. Pero si la investigadora Erica Chenoweth tiene razón, los venezolanos tarde o temprano terminarán con la dictadura de Maduro. Los números están de su lado.

Todo dictador cae. Pero no lo hace solito. Muchos tienen que empujarlo.

Fee increase blocked – File Now!

Aumento de tarifas bloqueado - ¡Actúa ahora!

¡

Los tribunales bloquearon el aumento anticipado de las tarifas migratorias el martes!

Esto significa que tenemos más tiempo para solicitar la ciudadanía y la residencia permanente con las tarifas actuales. Los tribunales podrían cambiar esto en cualquier momento, ¡así que actúe ahora!

Históricamente, los solicitantes de ciudadanía estadounidense podían solicitar una exención de tarifas para evitar pagar las tarifas si tenían bajos ingresos. Bajo Obama, el gobierno incluso creó un sistema de tres niveles para no pagar tarifas, la mitad de la tarifa o la tarifa completa, dependiendo de sus ingresos. Las nuevas reglas bajo la administración Trump eliminarían esas opciones y aumentarían la tarifa regular de $ 725 a $ 1170. ¡Ahora es el momento de presentar una solicitud! ¡La residencia permanente dentro de los Estados Unidos habría aumentado las tarifas en $ 1000!

Date prisa y presenta tu solicitud ahora mientras la regla de tarifas está bloqueada. Según las nuevas reglas, las tarifas del permiso de trabajo y del permiso de viaje ya no se incluirán en la tarifa del paquete de residente permanente. Las familias tendrán que elegir si pueden pagarlo o no. ¡Ahora es el momento de presentar una solicitud!

Nuestra firma siempre anima a nuestros clientes a utilizar exenciones de tarifas y otras herramientas para que sus casos se presenten rápidamente.

Ofrecemos planes de pago sencillos para los honorarios legales para que pueda comenzar de inmediato. Nuestro equipo bilingüe puede preparar su caso en tan solo dos semanas. Llámenos hoy al 816-895-6363 para seguir adelante con su camino migratorio. ¡No espere hasta que sea demasiado tarde!

he anticipated filing fee increase was blocked by the courts on Tuesday!

This means we have more time to apply for citizenship and permanent residency with the current fees. The courts could change this at any time, so act now!

Historically, applicants for US Citizenship could ask for a fee waiver to avoid paying the fees if they were low income. Under Obama, the government even made a three-tier system for paying no fees, half of the fee, or the full fee depending on your income. The new rules under the Trump administration would take those options away and increase the regular fee from $725 to $1170. Now is the time to file!

Permanent residency inside the United States would have seen increased fees by $1000! Hurry up and file now while the fee rule is blocked.

BY EUGENIA LAST

ARIES (del 21 de marzo al 19 de abril):

La incertidumbre girará en torno a su trabajo, puesto y estatus futuro. Mantenga la calma y trabaje duro para demostrar lo valioso e ingenioso que es. Los beneficios llegarán a usted. Esfuércese por la ganancia personal, la aptitud física y el romance, y sobresaldrá.

TAURO (del 20 de abril al 20 de mayo):

Antes de hacer un cambio, cubra todos los ángulos y detalles necesarios para tener éxito. Entrar en acción física para asegurarse de tener todo en su lugar eliminará un error.

No cuente con otros para que se ocupen de sus responsabilidades.

GÉMINIS (del 21 de mayo al 20 de junio):

A

hora puede hacerse pruebas asintomáticas gratuitas para COVID-19 en el condado de Wyandotte. Esto amplía la elegibilidad para las pruebas en los principales sitios de prueba en todo el condado.

Anteriormente, las pruebas se limitaban a personas con síntomas o personas que habían estado expuestas al COVID-19. Ahora, los residentes del condado de Wyandotte pueden hacerse la prueba de COVID-19 independientemente de los síntomas o la exposición al COVID-19.

El Departamento de Salud Pública del Gobierno Unificado colaboró con Vibrant Health, Swope Health y el Grupo de Trabajo sobre Equidad en la Salud del Condado de Wyandotte para ajustar la elegibilidad de las pruebas.

Dónde hacerse la prueba El Grupo de Trabajo sobre Equidad en Salud del Condado de Wyandotte también ha trabajado con Vibrant Health y Swope Health para crear sitios de prueba emergentes en todo el condado de Wyandotte.

El calendario de eventos de prueba emergente de octubre se acaba de publicar e incluye eventos durante todo el mes: *De 4 a 6 p.m. todos los jueves de octubre (¡a partir del 1 de octubre!) en Vibrant Health Argentine en 1428 South 32nd Street. *De 9 a.m. al mediodía del sábado 3 y sábado 17 de octubre en La Fe en Jesucristo, 1500 Avenida Central. *De 8 a.m. a 11 a.m. todos los lunes de octubre en la Iglesia Bautista Oak Ridge, 9301 Parallel Parkway. *De 8 a 11 a.m. todos los martes de octubre en la Parroquia de Todos los Santos, ubicada en 811 Vermont Avenue. *De 8 a.m. a 11 a.m. todos los miércoles de octubre en el Centro de Adoración Familiar Faith Deliverance en 3043 State Avenue.

The Unified Government Public Health Department collaborated with Vibrant Health, Swope Health and the Wyandotte County Health Equity Task Force to adjust the testing eligibility.

Where to Get Tested The Wyandotte County Health Equity Task Force has also worked with Vibrant Health and Swope Health to create pop-up testing sites throughout Wyandotte County.

You can also get tested from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Monday through Friday at the Unified Government Public Health Department (UGPHD) at 619 Ann Avenue in Kansas City, KS. *This testing is for people who live or work in Wyandotte County. *Please bring an item to show that you live or work in Wyandotte county, such as a piece of mail or a work badge.

a oficina del gobernador de Missouri, Mike Parson, confirmó el 23 de septiembre que Parson y su esposa habían dado positivo por COVID-19.

Parson fue examinado después de que su esposa, Teresa, hubiera dado positivo ese mismo día. Su esposa había experimentado síntomas leves, como tos y congestión nasal, según la portavoz Kelli Jones.

“En este momento, el gobernador se siente sano y no muestra síntomas, y la primera dama tiene síntomas leves”, dijo Jones el 23 de septiembre en un comunicado.

A través de un video en su página de Facebook, Parson dijo que él y su esposa estaban bien.

“Ahora mismo me siento bien. No hay síntomas de ningún tipo”, dijo. “Pero ahora mismo, sólo tenemos que implementar los procedimientos de cuarentena”.

Parson, un republicano, se ha negado con vehemencia a exigir a los residentes que usen máscaras, aunque ha instado repetidamente a los residentes a usar máscaras y mantener el distanciamiento social. Pero ha sido franco sobre su oposición a los mandatos de usar máscaras, a veces ni siquiera usa uno en funciones oficiales.

Su oposición a los mandatos de máscaras en todo el estado ha continuado, incluso cuando el Grupo de Trabajo sobre el Coronavirus de la Casa Blanca ha recomendado un requisito de cobertura facial en Missouri, dado el número creciente de casos confirmados en el estado.

La semana pasada, Missouri registró las muertes totales más altas en un solo día reportadas, con 83 reportadas el 23 de septiembre.

M

issouri Gov. Mike Parson’s office confirmed Sept. 23 that Parson and his wife had tested positive for COVID-19.

Parson was tested after his wife, Teresa, had tested positive earlier in the day. His wife had experienced mild symptoms, including a cough and nasal congestion, according to spokeswoman Kelli Jones.

“At this time, the governor feels healthy and is displaying no symptoms, and the first lady has mild symptoms,” Jones said Sept. 23 in a statement.

Through a video on his Facebook page, Parson said he and his wife were fine.

“Right now I feel fine. No symptoms of any kind,” he said. “But right now, we just have to take the quarantine procedures in place.”

Parson, a Republican, has vehemently refused to require residents to wear masks, though he has repeatedly urged residents to wear masks and maintain social distancing. But he has been outspoken about his opposition to mask mandates, sometimes not even wearing one at official functions.

His opposition to statewide mask mandates has continued, even as the White House Coronavirus Task Force has recommended a face covering requirement in Missouri, given the state’s escalating number of confirmed cases.

Last week, Missouri registered the highest single-day total deaths reported, with 83 reported on Sept. 23.

El grupo de trabajo SPARK de la gobernadora Kelly recomendó que los fondos de la Ley CARES estén disponibles para aumentar el acceso digital para las familias, que fue parte de las propuestas de la Ronda 2 aprobadas por el Consejo de Finanzas del Estado en julio.

“Sabemos que la infraestructura es una necesidad crítica para las familias no sólo durante una pandemia para acceder a la educación en línea y servicios de telesalud, sino también para las oportunidades económicas a largo plazo que brinda la tecnología”, dijo Kelly. “Agradezco a los miembros de mi equipo de trabajo SPARK y al SFC por hacer de estas necesidades una prioridad”.

TOPEKA – Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly announced Tuesday (Sept. 29) that, as part of the Technology for Families Grant Program, the Kansas Children’s Cabinet and Trust Fund distributed $636,066 to support connectivity for families in need representing 86 Kansas counties.

Gov. Kelly’s SPARK taskforce recommended that CARES Act funding be available to increase digital access for families, which was part of the Round 2 proposals approved by the State Finance Council in July.

“We know that digital infrastructure is a critical need for families not only during a pandemic to access online education and telehealth services, but also for the long-term economic opportunities that technology provides,” Kelly said. “I appreciate members of my SPARK Taskforce and the SFC for making these needs a priority.”

Kansas El Programa de Subvenciones de Tecnología para Familias asegura que las familias de Kansas con niños pequeños aún puedan acceder a servicios vitales de visitas domiciliarias que se han trasladado a un entorno virtual durante la pandemia COVID-19. Se distribuyeron fondos para dispositivos y dispositivos de conectividad a 40 organizaciones que brindan servicios de visitas domiciliarias a través de un proceso de solicitud de subvención. Los beneficiarios identificaron a más de 1,700 familias y trabajarán en estrecha colaboración con ellas para identificar el dispositivo y los soportes de conectividad que mejor satisfacen las necesidades tecnológicas únicas de cada familia.

Esta es la primera ronda de selecciones de subvenciones. Se ha puesto a disposición un total de $1.5 millones para el programa y se realizarán selecciones adicionales de manera continua.

“Estamos muy contentos de que nuestra primera ronda de selecciones aumente el acceso a Internet para las familias en todo Kansas”, dijo Melissa Rooker, directora ejecutiva de KCCTF. “Quiero agradecer a la gobernadora Kelly, al grupo de trabajo SPARK y a los legisladores por brindar este apoyo tan necesario a las familias de Kansas”.

The Technology for Families Grant Program ensures Kansas families with young children can still access vital home visiting services that have shifted to a virtual environment during the COVID-19 pandemic. Funds were distributed for connectivity supports and devices to 40 organizations who provide home visiting services through a grant application process.

Grantees identified over 1,700 families, and will work closely with them to identify the device and connectivity supports that best meet the unique technology needs of each family.

This is the first round of grant selections. A total of $1.5 million has been made available for the program and additional selections will occur on an ongoing basis.

“We’re very pleased that our first round of selections will increase internet access for families all across Kansas,” said Melissa Rooker, Executive Director of KCCTF. “I want to thank Governor Kelly, the SPARK taskforce and legislators for providing this much needed support to Kansas families.”
