For seven years, Ypsilanti resident Yousuf was an interpreter for American troops deployed in Afghanistan. Wearing an American uniform and carrying a rifle, Yousuf was away from his home
in the north Afghan city of Mazari-Sharif for extended periods of time, traveling the country with American combat soldiers to translate and help train local forces and often being subjected to hostile ambushes on the road. “The reason that I really wanted to work for U.S. troops and our government’s army to fight against

the Taliban was because they were killing our people … they’d go to schools to fire on kids. They killed my cousins,” Yousuf, who asked to be identified by only first name due to safety concerns, said, adding that his long absences were difficult for his wife, Zahra. “If I get the chance, I would go and work for them again.”
After getting wounded in a firefight, and as the Taliban began targeting local interpreters for assassination, Zahra and Yousuf chose to accept an offer from his employer to resettle in the United States as refugees to protect their three sons. “They consider interpreters See REFUGEES, Page 3A

Reversal will impact undocumented campus community
Since 2011, cases of opioid overdose deaths have dramatically increased in Washtenaw County, becoming an epidemic. At a community-wide event “In Our Midst: The Opioid Epidemic, and a Community Response” Tuesday night at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital, experts discussed the crisis, and potential ways the community can engage to help find solutions. A similar event was held last week at the Ann Arbor District Library The event was hosted by Dawn Farm, a 501c(3) nonprofit organization based in Ypsilanti, with an outpatient center in Ann Arbor, that works to assist addicts and alcoholics achieve long-term recovery from drugs and alcohol. Nationwide, opioid addiction has taken an approximate 150 lives a day, five to 10 people an hour, leading to a total of 48,000 lives lost in 2015, according to Center for Disease Control. In Washtenaw County, there were 49 reported deaths from opioid overdoses in 2015, and in 2016 there have been 45 thus far. Event coordinator Mark Albulov, a residential therapist at Dawn Farm, said in an interview that breaking down stereotypes around recovery and educating on its effects was the main goal of the evening. “We want to disseminate the fact that people can and do recover, that there is an option …

Throughout the 2016 presidential campaign, stricter immigration policies have been at the forefront of President-elect Donald Trump’s platform. His policies have shifted in extremity over the passing months, from a call for a ban on all Muslim immigration to a broader ban to terror-prone nations such as Iraq and Syria. His list of priorities released after his election includes many of his initial proposals, such as deportations of undocumented immigrants, building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border and cancelling executive actions signed by President Barack Obama. Trump has deemed these orders, which include ones aimed at protecting undocumented children and adolescents and the families of U.S. citizens, as unconstitutional. The main orders that Trump can immediately override once he steps into office are the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals and Deferred Action See TRUMP, Page 3A

volunteer team leader for the Christian ministry organization Young Life, does not believe in premarital sex because of personal and religious reasons, and thinks it can be damaging for relationships. According to a women’s health survey administered by The Michigan Daily to female students in November, both of these views are prevalent on campus, though the latter is much more common. 72 percent of respondents in the survey said they have parents who oppose premarital sex, and 28 percent said they oppose premarital sex.

also to educate people that it is a medical disease,” Albulov said. “It’s not a moral failure, it’s not a criminal behavior, it’s a medical disease that has treatment.” Stephen Strobbe, University of Michigan clinical associate professor, said the national crises of overdose deaths and the patterns of addiction-related incidences in Washtenaw County are strongly correlated. Strobbe is also the co-chair for the Washtenaw Health Initiative Opioid Project,
a volunteer organization that unites law enforcement, public health, treatment facilities and other providers to secure opioid addiction treatment. “This is a community initiative,” Strobbe said. “A handful of experts alone are not going to turn this around, it really does take a concentrated and concerted effort and those communities who have responded cohesively have had the best outcome.” In explaining the magnitude of
the issue, he cited CDC data that shows opioid overdose deaths have quadrupled from 1999 to 2014 in the United States and exceeded the amount of motor vehicle deaths last year. He added that there were enough prescriptions written for every adult in the United States to receive a bottle of opioid pain medications. He told the crowd that the WHI implements the Lazarus Model, an evidence-driven platform See OPIOID, Page 3A

deer cull initiative
In 2017, lethal and nonlethal methods will be used on campus property RHEA CHEETI
Daily Staff Reporter
The University of Michigan announced Tuesday it will participate in the 2017 deer management program, in partnership with the City of Ann Arbor. The Ann Arbor City Council voted to implement a deer cull again this year, following the 2016 program, which resulted in the death of 63 deer in parks and nature areas from January to February. While the specific timing and locations of the deer culls are not yet determined, the University has indicated that Nichols Arboretum, areas between the railroad and Huron River, areas east of Fuller Road and south of Glazier Way, and areas west of Huron Parkway and south of Hubbard will be locations where lethal cull methods, including firearms, may be used. If any University property is used, it will be closed to the public from 4 p.m. until 7 a.m. on weekdays when the cull is taking place. Potential non-lethal deer See DEER, Page 3A
