Brothers show their spirit Kite festival Siblings compete this afternoon for Spirit of Fiesta, Junior Spirit

to soar again Event to take place Sunday at SBCC By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara Kite Festival is ready to take flight. The 36th annual event will take place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday in the Great Meadow on the west campus lawn of Santa Barbara City College. The Great Meadows are located next to the Garvin Theatre at 721 Cliff Drive. “Up” is the theme of this year’s festival, which was selected as a positive statement of change in the community and the return of the festival after a twoyear hiatus. Sunday’s forecast of sunny skies and cooler temperatures should be perfect for this fun-family event. Just add the wind. The Children’s Kite Tail Chase will feature the master of kite flying, Rakesh Bahadur. The festival will also feature friendly competitions: “Best of Fest,” “Best Ground Display,” “Youngest & Oldest Kite Flyers,” “Most Unique/Unusual Kite,” “Funniest Kite,” “Most Unflyable Kite,’ “Most Beautiful”

(handmade and commercial), “Highest Flying,” “Largest & Smallest Kites,” and “Sport Flying.” Prizes will be awarded to all contest winners. Admission to the festival is free. Parking is available on both the west campus and the main campus. Kites, food and beverages can be purchased at the festival. All current state and county health and safety protocols will be in place at the event. Thanks to a 2007 Santa Barbara City Council proclamation, April is officially recognized as “Kite Month” in Santa Barbara. Santa Barbara’s kite month is promoted in coordination with the National Kite Month of April — coestablished by the American Kite Flyers Association and the Kite Trade Association International .

For Jack Harwood, becoming the Spirit of Fiesta means stepping outside of one’s comfort zone — no matter how old. Jack, 17, is competing this afternoon at the Lobero Theatre in his fourth Spirit of Fiesta audition for the upcoming Old Spanish Days in Santa Barbara. And this time, he’ll be joined by his 10-year-old brother, Skyler Harwood. Event organizers say this is the first time two brothers have competed for the titles of Spirit and Junior Spirit simultaneously. Both brothers began flamenco dancing at the age of 4, taking

(Father Riley is retired from the Santa Barbara Police Department, where he worked special events; mother Dacia is the executive director of the Santa Barbara Historical Museum.) The pair knew they wanted their kids to be involved in the arts — and both of their sons took off with flamenco dancing. Throughout the years, Jack, a senior at Dos Pueblos High School in Goleta, has trained in Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and Spain. And now he’s competing for a title he’s envisioned since he was his younger brother’s age. “It’s been a dream of mine since I was a little kid, ever since I first saw the auditions when I was 10 years old,” Jack told the NewsPress. “For me, it would be more about using that role as a way to inspire men of all ages, not just

I hope to inspire other young men to push themselves to break down societal barriers and to not be afraid of expressing themselves through dance,” he added.

Jack has already influenced at least one person to try flamenco. His brother Skyler, a fourthgrader at Isla Vista Elementary, said he is excited about competing today and enjoys performing to make other people happy. “I’ve always looked up to my brother and am excited to share Please see BROTHERS on A4

Will Smith is paying a price for the slap heard around the world. The actor, who won the Oscar for “King Richard,” won’t be allowed to attend the Academy Awards for the next 10 years. He also is banned from in-person or virtual attendance at any other Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences events for the same period. The ban was issued Friday by the academy’s Board of Governors, which conceded in a statement that it should have addressed the matter immediately when Mr. Smith walked up to Chris Rock, who was presenting the Oscar for best

documentary, and slapped him hard during the live telecast at the Dolby Theatre. The March 27 broadcast from Hollywood was watched by the entire world. “This action we are taking today in response to Will Smith’s behavior is a step toward a larger goal of protecting the safety of our performers and guests, and restoring trust in the Academy,” said the statement, signed by academy President David Rubin and CEO Dawn Hudson and emailed to the News-Press and other media. “We also hope this can begin a time of healing and restoration for all involved and impacted,” the two academy leaders wrote.

Righetti High School contributes food to nonprofit By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Students at Righetti High School donated more than 1,000 pounds of dry and canned food Thursday to the U-Pick Food Pantry at New Life Community Church. The Pismo Beach food pantry is open three days a week and serves families from Oceano to Guadalupe. “Helping our community is so important now more than ever with the stresses of today’s world,” said Aurey Henry, a Righetti senior. “Being there to support the people in our community in any way shape or form can make a big difference in just one life. We should absolutely take the opportunity to do anything we can.” The Righetti fundraiser ran March 28-April 6 at the Santa Maria school and was promoted by rallies directed by senior Ellie Ryan, according to Warrior School Counselor Julie Utterback. The class who collected the most nonperishables will receive an In-N-Out Burger party. “I feel community service is very important especially today because the prices of everyday necessities are very high,” senior Ella Consorti said in a news release. “If you continue to help someone else in the littlest way, then why not? Being able to give back into the community in any way is one of Righetti’s main priorities.” U-Pick Pantry sent student body members at Righetti three dozen donuts as a thank you. “The contribution from RHS ASB is much needed, and we are truly grateful to work with such caring students,’’ said U-Pick Pantry volunteer Kent Utterback.

California could require physicians to undergo training for transgender patients (The Center Square) – A bill that would require physicians to undergo cultural competency training to provide appropriate care for transgender, gender-nonconforming and intersex people (TGI) was advanced by a committee of California lawmakers this week. Senate Bill 923, authored by San Francisco Sen. Scott Wiener, would require cultural competency trans-inclusive healthcare training into existing continuing medical education (CME) for physicians. The bill would also require Health and Human Services to create a working group that includes TGI people to create a quality standard for patient experience. Lawmakers passed the bill in an 8-2 vote in the Senate Health Committee on Wednesday. A 2021 report from the Center for American Progress found that almost half of transgender adults reported having “negative or discriminatory experiences with a health care provider” in the year before the survey. Additionally, 28% of transgender individuals reported postponing or not receiving medical care in the year before the survey “for fear of experiencing discrimination.” Sen. Wiener told lawmakers his bill aims to “improve the healthcare system” by providing training for physicians so that TGI people get the care they need. While negative experiences with healthcare providers can stem from interactions that are “abusive

The bill was initially opposed by the California Medical Association, who had concerns that the legislation would be “challenging to implement” and “apply additional barriers to practicing medicine when California is facing a health care workforce shortage.” The CMA had recommended the bill be amended to incorporate TGI training into continuing medical education. Sen. Wiener accepted the amendments, and a representative said during Wednesday’s hearing that the CMA “looked forward” to removing their opposition to the bill based on the amendments. Supporters of the bill told the committee on Wednesday that this bill would provide important training to ensure clinicians do not provide “misguided treatment” to TGI patients. Erin Pollard, a licensed marriage and family therapist who specializes in gender-affirming mental health care, told the committee that measures are needed to “establish better access to gender-affirming trainings.” The majority of lawmakers on the Senate Health Committee voiced support for Sen. Wiener’s measure, saying it would help medical professionals ensure they provide the highest quality care to all patients. Sen. Wiener reiterated the bill makes sure that if you are TGI, “you can go with confidence to see a medical provider and get appropriate care.” The bill will be heard next in the Senate Appropriations Committee.

and intentional,” he noted other times when providers “simply don’t know how to interact appropriately in a supportive manner with TGI patients.” “A trans person should not have to teach their healthcare provider how to do that,” Sen. Wiener said during a committee meeting Wednesday. “I want to be clear – this is not about demonizing providers,” he later added. “So many providers want to do the right thing. We want to make sure we are providing support in terms of training and learning and knowing what the standards are so that they can do what so many want to do, which is to treat people effectively and with compassion.” The legislation comes as several states have considered legislation that would criminalize transgender healthcare for minors. Additionally, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced a directive in February ordering investigations into parents of minors who undergo gender-confirming care. Sen. Wiener called these messages “horrific” for trans youth, noting that his bill would ensure TGI patients get the care they deserve in California. The bill faces opposition from the Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee, which wrote that the bill “violates the rights of healthcare plan staff, as well as staff of insurance providers, to exercise their religious liberty by opting out of such training,” according to a bill analysis from the Senate Health Committee.

UCSB women’s volleyball announces 2021 team awards By DANIEL MOEBUS-BOWLES UCSB SPORTS WRITER

The 2021 UCSB women’s volleyball team held their end of the year banquet last week celebrating yet another terrific season and announcing the program’s various team awards. It was also a time to honor the four seniors that played their final season in blue and gold. The award winners were as follows:

Co-Most Valuable Players Co-MVPs Macall Peed and Michelle Ohwobete had sensational Gaucho debuts this past season, helping lead UCSB to a 21-11 overall record with an incredible 17-3 mark in Big West play. Both were named First Team All-Conference and Ohwobete took home Big West Freshman of the year. Peed was the anchor of the defense for the Gauchos in her first season at UCSB as the transfer led the Big West with a 4.53 digs per set average. She proved to be an incredible passer and strong server as well. She ranked second on the team with 23 aces, posted a .970 reception percentage on 576 attempts and was even capable of dishing out sets when needed, picking up 116 assists on the team, the most by a nonsetter. Ohwobete opened her collegiate career by leading the Gauchos with a 3.17 kills per set average to go

with 1.70 digs and 0.65 blocks. The freshman quickly fit into a veteran role as she was tasked with playing six rotations and serving as one of the primary passers for the Gauchos as well. In that role she posted a .963 reception percentage on 625 attempts.

Cho Guts Award Peed was also given the Cho Guts Award, which is given to the player that gives 100% effort and inspires their teammates on every play. Her willingness to dig deep and extend plays on the defensive end all season was a huge part of the team’s success.

Leadership Award Mehana Ma’a was another Gaucho newcomer that burst right onto the scene, becoming a mainstay in the lineup just a few weeks in. She ranked second on the team with a 5.79 assists per set average and 469 total assists as well as finishing in the top-five with 1.69 digs per set.

Most Improved Nia Correal was voted Most Improved Player coming off of a COVID season that impacted her potential. At 6’4, she has worked hard on and off the court to maximize her potential here at UCSB. Please see AWARDS on A4

Alabama sues Biden administration for not deporting illegal immigrants By BETHANY BLANKLEY THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR

(The Center Square) – Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall is suing the Biden administration over claims it is ignoring immigration law that requires the federal government to arrest, detain and deport foreign nationals in the U.S. illegally. The lawsuit alleges that the Biden administration’s immigration policy exceeds the authority of the Department of Homeland Security, is arbitrary and capricious, illegally bypassed notice and public commenting, and is unconstitutional. The Republican attorneys general of Florida and Georgia joined the lawsuit, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama. DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Chris Magnus, Acting Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Tae Johnson, Director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) Ur Jaddou, their respective agencies, and the federal government are named as defendants. “The Biden administration cannot ignore the law, nor should it place American lives in jeopardy by allowing criminal aliens to escape the long arm of justice,” Mr. Marshall said in a statement. At issue is a new policy announced by Mr. Mayorkas that instituted sweeping changes to customs and immigration enforcement. Because it wasn’t challenged in court at the time, the policy went into effect Nov. 29. The AGs are asking the court to nullify the policy, and permanently prohibit DHS, CBP, ICE and CIS from following it. They’re seeking a permanent injunction to end “the Biden Administration’s wholesale abdication of its statutory duties.” Doing

so will “prevent the irreparable harm caused by the unlawful release of convicted criminals into their communities,” they argue. They’re also asking the court to require the federal agencies to follow existing immigration law enacted by Congress. “For more than three decades, a bipartisan majority of Congress has made law that the Executive Branch should arrest, detain, and remove all felon criminal aliens,” Mr. Marshall said. “Congress was justifiably concerned that deportable criminal aliens who are not detained continue to engage in crime and fail to appear for their removal proceedings in large numbers. “Congress intended that those arrested and ordered removed by an immigration judge were actually deported,” he added. “What’s more, officials in previous administrations of both political parties have agreed that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has to prioritize the removal of criminal aliens, and the United States Supreme Court has held that immigration officials ‘must arrest those aliens guilty of a predicate offense.’” The AGs argue that the federal government is not doing that under the Biden administration. “President Biden has reversed course, effectively thumbing his nose at federal law, slow-walking or outright ignoring legal requirements for detention and deportation of criminal aliens,” Mr. Marshall said. According to Mr. Mayorkas’ policy, violating immigration law established by Congress is no longer an arrestable offense. Only those who pose a threat to national security, public safety or a threat to border security can be considered for removal – and only at the discretion of federal agencies.

the stage with him at the auditions,” Skyler said. The Spirit of Fiesta competition is about more than just dance, although that’s a major part of it, Riley explained. “The people who become Junior Spirits and Spirits have spent years preparing in terms of their flamenco training,” Riley said. “In addition to the dancing, to be Spirit, you’re representing Old Spanish Days and the city of Santa Barbara. There’s an interview … because they’re looking at people who are going to be poised and have the communication skills to represent Santa Barbara and Old Spanish Days.” “You have to be a really phenomenal dancer, but you also have to be a good representative of Santa Barbara and Old Spanish Days,” Riley said. The Spirit is a “visual representation of Fiesta, a goodwill ambassador to local residents and visitors alike,” according to the event’s website. The Junior Spirit “embodies the gaiety and vitality of Santa Barbara’s annual summer festival.” Old Spanish Days is scheduled for Aug. 3-7.

Unsung Hero Megan Shimoda earned the Unsung Hero award based on her hard work and passion for the game. She works hard every single day in practice and pushes the people around her to be better. While she did not have a starting role this past fall, she took her role and made a significant effort to contribute to the team in every way possible. This past fall would not have been possible without her or her fiery soul. She is a dynamic athlete and a phenomenal teammate.

ban by saying in a statement, “I accept and respect the Academy’s decision.” During the Oscars telecast, Mr. Smith angrily approached Mr. Rock after the former “Saturday Night Live” actor made a “G.I. Jane” joke about Jada Pinkett Smith, Mr. Smith’s wife. Ms. Pinkett Smith’s head is shaved, and she has experienced hair loss because of alopecia, an autoimmune condition. After the slap, Mr. Smith returned to his seat, near the front of the stage, and cursed as he told Mr. Rock to stop making jokes about his wife. The telecast, which was on a fivesecond delay, didn’t air Mr. Smith’s language. But the camera was on him, and it was clear what he was

saying. No security officers approached Mr. Smith during that moment, and he was allowed to remain in the theater, where a short while later, he won the Oscar for best actor. During his acceptance speech, he tearfully apologized for his behavior, but didn’t apologize immediately to Mr. Rock. That apology came later, and Mr. Smith resigned April 1 from the academy. “I have directly responded to the Academy’s disciplinary hearing notice, and I will fully accept any and all consequences for my conduct,” Mr. Smith wrote in his resignation letter. “My actions at the 94th Academy Awards presentation were shocking, painful and inexcusable.” The slap was unprecedented in the history of Oscars, which the

Board of Governors acknowledged as it admitted it should have taken immediate action. “During our telecast, we did not adequately address the situation in the room. For this, we are sorry,” said the statement signed by Mr. Rubin and Ms. Hudson. “This was an opportunity for us to set an example for our guests, viewers and our Academy family around the world, and we fell short — unprepared for the unprecedented.” They also said, “The 94th Oscars were meant to be a celebration of the many individuals in our community who did incredible work this past year; however, those moments were overshadowed by the unacceptable and harmful behavior we saw Mr. Smith exhibited on stage.” The Los Angeles Police

Department said Mr. Rock declined to press charges against Mr. Smith. In their statement, Mr. Rubin and Ms. Hudson thanked Mr. Rock “for maintaining his composure under extraordinary

BLUE, Kevin

It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of our son Kevin. On April 2, he died in his sleep from a drugoverdose. Kevin was born September 29, 1963, at Santa Monica Hospital.

He attended Dos Pueblos High School, 1979-1982, and played on the Varsity Tennis Team, and, for two years, was the number-1 player. He surfed with his brother and friends at Campus Point, Goleta Beach.

In September 1957, Nancy and Tom married. Nancy’s life became happily centered around family and it was her culinary skills combined with an insistence on regular family dinners that were formative in developing the bond her family now shares. Nancy and Tom relocated from Wisconsin to California in 1973 when Tom was transferred along with his best friend, Tom Sebastian and other Milwaukee Delco Electronics employees.

PRECIPITATION

From a young age, Nancy enjoyed travel and adventure. In 1952 after graduating from Shorewood High School in Wisconsin Nancy worked as ranch hand for a summer in Durango, Colorado where she developed an avid interest in horseback riding. Later that year she returned home and enrolled at the University of Wisconsin before transferring to Marquette University. In September 1954, Nancy and her dear friend Didi Mancheski traveled south for an adventure that lasted nearly two years. It began in Mexico where they attended Mexico City College before moving to St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. Nancy was employed by a local bottled gas company and spent free time learning Calypso dance, sailing to nearby islands and exploring local dive sites. After departing St. Thomas and after a six-week sojourn in Puerto Rico, Nancy returned to Wisconsin where she met her future husband, Thomas E. Harrington.

“Working primarily within the context of printmaking and installation, my artwork exposes how safety is perceived and its relation to spaces and physical objects,” said Meagan Stirling, whose art is part of “Over the Fence,” now on display at the Architectural Foundation Gallery in Santa Barbara.

Architectural Foundation Gallery exhibit features COVID-inspired theme By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

‘O

ver the Fence,” a collaboratively curated exhibition of works on paper organized by Meagan Stirling and Alex Lukas, is on view through May 7 at the Architectural Foundation Gallery. “For this unique exhibition, artists were selected using a ‘plus one’ style of curating — Meagan and Alex each chose one artist,” said Molly Burns, the gallery’s executive director. “Then each of those artists chose another artist, until a total of 10 artists were invited to participate. In this way, the exhibition reaches a range of visual artists working

on California’s Central Coast and engages fresh, new voices. “The diversity of artists, materials and techniques is connected by the COVID-inspired theme, ‘Over the Fence.’ Artists were invited to create two works of art, each 12 inches by 12 inches, and encouraged to interpret the theme in their own ways. Look for images that are playful and informal and interpretations that are literal and metaphorical. All artwork is unframed and affordable.” Participating artists are Demi Boelsterli, Stephanie Dotson, Greta Harbaugh, Madeleine Eve Ignon, Mr. Lukas, Luke Luvanvi, Chad Ress, Ms. Stirling, Hannah Vainstein and Stephanie Washburn.

Ms. Stirling received her master’s of fine arts degree at the University of Wisconsin in Madison and her bachelor’s from Whitworth University. She enjoys working in multiple mediums, including printmaking, installation and performance. Her recent exhibitions include “Matter + Spirit,” a traveling exhibit at the Whitworth University Oliver Gallery, and works now at the Sullivan GossAn American Gallery in Santa Barbara. Her artwork has been featured in solo and group exhibitions throughout the U.S. She works with and helped found a local organization called Print Power. In screen printing workshops, trauma survivors are given the tools to create visual

messages that may be too difficult to verbalize and to process trauma in healthy and community-driven ways. In her artist statement, Ms. Stirling said, “The overly exaggerated idea of safety that becomes weakened by chance is deeply rooted in the risk and reward of living life. The paradox of daily life as safe and comfortable is juxtaposed with its polar opposite, the uncertainties of life. Working primarily within the context of printmaking and installation, my artwork exposes how safety is perceived and its relation to spaces and physical objects. “The concept of safety and its Please see FENCE on B2

Californians can now use library cards to visit parks

Library Parks Pass hang tags per branch for checkout by library patrons, including mobile libraries. Park Passes will enter circulation on a rolling basis throughout April and May for checkout by library patrons; library users can contact their local library for more information. Library card holders will be able to check out the pass for the allotted number of days allowed by the local library, then return the pass to the library for others to use. The pass is valid for entry of one passenger vehicle with capacity of nine people or less or one highway licensed motorcycle at participating state park units. “Libraries are trusted community hubs where Californians know they can find what they need to work, play and thrive,” said Greg Lucas, California state librarian. “This partnership with State Parks now allows Californians to ‘check out’ California’s great outdoors at their community library.” There are 1,184 public library buildings in California, and more than 23 million Californians have library cards. In 2019-2020, these libraries circulated more than 97 million items free of charge, such as books, technology, WiFi hotspots, videos, music, instruments, tools, telescopes and more. Additionally, the libraries hosted more than 300,000 programs in 2019-2020, with almost 7.5 million people attending. Additionally, the California State Library will be providing grant funding to libraries for outdoor-related items for checkout, programs that teach natural resource stewardship and outdoor skills or to encourage their library patrons to enjoy the outdoors and make historical and cultural connections to parks.

California State Parks and the California State Library have announced another opportunity for outdoor access to all Californians. Starting this week — National Library Week — California State Parks will be distributing the California State Library Parks Pass to public libraries across the state for checkout by library patrons. The new pass will allow free vehicle day use entry at more than 200 participating state park units. “Spending time in nature is crucial to our mental health and well-being,” said First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom. “We’re lucky to have the largest state park system in the nation, and I am thrilled to partner with California State Parks and the California State Library to help make those spaces more accessible to California families. With the California State Library Parks Pass, anyone with a library card will be able to unlock the benefits and beauty of our majestic state parks.” Research shows that spending time in the outdoors is associated with better mental

and physical health and that many Californians face barriers to accessing their parks, according to a news release. California has a wealth of state parks, and many public libraries are likely within driving distance of one. According to the news release, by reducing barriers to park access and partnering with entities such as public libraries, the state can help more Californians explore the outdoors. That can lead to benefits for health, natural resource stewardship, and historical and cultural connections. “Parks and libraries have the potential to be powerful symbols and agents for California’s open spaces,” said Armando Quintero, California State Parks Director. “It is an honor to work side-byside with the California State Library, Newsom Administration and partners to advance outdoor access to all Californians via public libraries, inspire stewardship for the state park system and build a healthier California.” As part of a three-year pilot program starting in April, each library jurisdiction will receive at least three California State

His interdisciplinary practice explores the intersections of place, human activity and history. His fieldwork, research and production reframes the monumental and the incidental through intricate print publications, sculpture, drawing, painting, video and audio collage. He received his master’s of fine arts from Carnegie Mellon University and his bachelor’s of fine arts from Rhode Island School of Design. His work is included in the collections of the Kadist Foundation, Philadelphia Museum of Art, MIT List Visual Arts Center’s Student Loan Art

Collection, New York Public Library and the Library of the Museum of Modern Art. He has participated in residencies at Bemis Center for Contemporary Art, The Fountainhead Residency, The Center for Land Use Interpretation and the John Michael Kohler Arts Center. Mr. Lukas’s latest project, “Stay Safe, Stay Home: Road Text in a Time of Contagion,” documents the emergence and progression of pandemic-related highway signs, capturing their language and appearance. It is published in The Boston Art Review’s winter 2021 edition. He began this project on his drive home to Boston from Wisconsin as the pandemic began. But after receiving his position at UCSB, Mr. Lukas continued documenting signs as he drove across the country to Santa Barbara. His recently published photo collection and written essay is more than a transcription of the signs Mr. Lukas has seen. It also acts as his personal travel log. “It’s also about driving across the country,” he said, “and what that act of movement in a pandemic feels like. It’s weird and scary.”

Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet. Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1- 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

probably the best thing you could do right now. R LIBRA — This might prove to be one of those days in which it’s very hard to get anything related to work or communication off the ground, Libra. You could find excuses to stop working more often than usual, particularly if it involves calling people on the phone. Don’t fight it. Take care of the most urgent tasks. The world won’t come to an end if you put the rest off a while. SCORPIO — You might have planned to make a particular purchase today, Scorpio, but a quick check of your financial situation could reveal that it would be better if you waited until your next payday. This could prove disappointing and frustrating, but look at it this way - you’ve waited this long for this item. It isn’t urgent, so waiting a little longer certainly won’t hurt. SAGITTARIUS — A lack of physical and mental energy as well as motivation could have you in a lethargic mood today, Sagittarius. You won’t feel like doing much of anything. You might get extremely irritated at the thought of having to work in any way. It might be a good idea to go to a movie in the evening, preferably a thriller or action movie. CAPRICORN — Usually you enjoy talking with others, Capricorn, but today you won’t even want to answer the phone. Your physical stamina and mental energy are low, and you could feel out of sorts. It might help if you go for a walk sometime in the afternoon. You won’t want to waste your evening lying around the house. AQUARIUS — A group of friends might want you to go out with them today, Aquarius, but you probably won’t feel up to it. Your financial situation could also require a little belttightening now, so you may not feel you can justify the expense. In any case, you aren’t going to want to spend the evening alone. Invite a friend or love partner over to watch a movie with you. PISCES — Today you could feel full of energy and eager to get out for some exercise, Pisces, but other responsibilities might threaten to keep you from doing it. The resulting frustration could zap all your energy and put you in a lethargic mood. Don’t fall into this trap! Get the most urgent tasks done and then get the exercise you need.

ARIES — Your energy is probably pretty low today, Aries. You won’t feel like socializing, nor will you feel like staying in and reading or watching TV. Chances are you won’t know what to do with yourself all day. Under these circumstances, the best thing to do is find a distraction. Go work out, read a thrilling book, go to a funny movie. TAURUS — Career and financial goals could seem completely stalled, Taurus, and this could have you depressed, frustrated, and in something of a panic. Don’t fall into this trap. This isn’t a permanent condition. You’ll be back on track in a few days. In the meantime, be good to yourself. Go to your favorite restaurant, buy yourself a present, or spend the afternoon in a bookstore. GEMINI — A colleague could be in a very bad mood, Gemini, and therefore not the easiest person in the world to deal with. In fact, today he or she could resist working at all, and you might feel obligated to take up the slack. Only do it if the tasks are urgent. It isn’t fair to you to have to do someone else’s job. Don’t feel guilty if you leave it unfinished. CANCER — Plans to go away on vacation or perhaps a business trip could be put on hold today, Cancer. Events you might have been scheduled to attend could be temporarily postponed. This could leave you feeling somewhat at a loss because you’d planned to be away and now you don’t know what to do with yourself in the meantime. LEO — This isn’t a good day to visit the racetrack, Las Vegas, or any store that sells lottery tickets. Stay away from the stock market, too, Leo. Speculation of any kind now could be risky at best and disastrous at worst. Romance is also likely to be blocked today, since you’re probably feeling a bit lethargic and not very sociable. VIRGO — Virgo, you’re likely to want to retreat into your bedroom and slam the door today. You won’t feel like talking or socializing with anyone, not even those closest to you. Too much work could have you in a state of near exhaustion and almost total burnout, which means that getting some rest is

(The Center Square) – U.S. Rep. Bill Posey, R-Fla., has filed a bill that would give states a greater ability to enforce immigration laws when the federal government won’t. Rep. Posey and Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody announced his bill, the Immigration and Enforcement Partnership Act of 2022, after the Biden administration decided to terminate Title 42, a federal public health rule used during national public health emergencies. Mr. Moody has sued the administration several times for violating immigration law. “Maintaining operational control over our nation’s borders is critical to our security and our ability to stop human traffickers, drug smugglers and other violent criminals and terrorists who mean to do our communities harm,” Rep. Posey said in a statement. “When the federal government abdicates its role in protecting our nation’s borders and refuses to enforce immigration laws allowing millions of people to illegally cross into our country, states should have authority to protect their citizens.” HR 7413 would allow state officials to require the DHS secretary to enforce federal immigration law in certain circumstances. It gives DHS the option to enforce the law or deputize state officials to carry out federal immigration duties instead. According to the bill, state attorneys general would identify how DHS isn’t fulfilling its nondiscretionary duties under Title II of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which includes arresting, detaining and removing criminal and arriving illegal immigrants. It also requires the courts to expedite proceedings related to these actions to the greatest extent practicable, according to a summary of the bill. “In less than a year and a half, the Biden administration has obliterated our southwest border and it’s about to get even worse as the president prepares to end Title 42,” Mr. Moody said in a statement. “We can no longer trust this administration to enforce the law. It is time for swift action to protect the American people. That is why Representative Posey and I are taking this matter to Congress and asking the legislative branch to let the states protect our citizens by enforcing public-safety immigration laws when Biden won’t.” In President Joe Biden’s first year in office, after he implemented an open border policy, more than two million people from over 150 countries were encountered or apprehended by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents entering the U.S. illegally. This number excludes an estimated several hundred thousand that

evaded law enforcement. Title 42 has been viewed as the last measure holding back the floodgates of people entering the U.S. illegally through the southern border after the Biden administration instituted sweeping immigration changes, prompting multiple lawsuits by several states and groups, including Florida. When Title 42 expires May 24, an estimated 18,000 people a day are expected to enter the U.S. illegally, border agents say. Both Democrats and Republicans have called on the Biden administration to follow immigration law and not end Title 42, to no avail. Even though Title 42 enables Customs and Border Patrol agents to quickly refuse entry or deport illegal immigrants, due to new Department of Homeland Security policies instituted by DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, deportations were down by 70% last year, according to CBP data. Under new guidance issued by Mr. Mayorkas, CBP agents are limited in their ability to enforce federal immigration law. Illegal immigration costs Florida taxpayers more than $100 million a year, Rep. Posey and Mr. Moody said. “The cost to public safety is harder to calculate as the nation struggles with a deadly opioid crisis claiming 21 lives a day in Florida,” they said in a joint statement. Rep. Posey and Mr. Moody are concerned that the federal government’s “seeming disinterest with enforcing immigration laws will exacerbate the opioid crisis and leave the door open for unmitigated drug and human trafficking. “The crisis is being exacerbated by fentanyl, a synthetic opioid 100 times stronger than morphine,” they argued in a joint statement. “According to CBP, since Biden took office, the amount of fentanyl seized at the border is enough to kill every man, woman and child in the nation more than seven times over.” With Mexico being the number one source of fentanyl imports into the U.S., it’s imperative that states be able to enforce federal immigration law when the federal government won’t, Rep. Posey and Mr. Moody argue. Rep. Posey’s district, which includes Brevard and Indian River counties and a small portion of Orange County, has been impacted by increased deaths caused by fentanyl. Last July, multiple overdoses and deaths that occurred in one weekend in Brevard County made national news. Investigators found that opioids mixed with fentanyl is a “direct contributor to the recent uptick in overdoses and deaths,” WESH 2 News reported. Mr. Moody has issued several public service announcements warning of the dangers of fentanyl and other illicit drugs being smuggled into the U.S. across the southern border.

AGs say Biden policy is a flagrant violation of federal law ALABAMA

Continued from Page A3 Mr. Mayorkas said the new policy will “require an assessment of the individual and take into account the totality of the facts and circumstances. In exercising this discretion, we are guided by the knowledge that there are individuals in our country who have been here for generations and contributed to our country’s wellbeing, including those who have been on the frontline in the battle against COVID, lead congregations of faith, and teach our children. As we strive to provide them with a path to status, we will not work in conflict by spending resources seeking to remove those who do not pose a threat and, in fact, make our nation stronger.” The policy drastically changed the parameters for arresting, detaining and deporting illegal immigrants, including those who’ve committed crimes in the U.S. Georgia AG Chris Carr said, “This unprecedented attempt to circumvent federal immigration law ultimately emboldens criminals and undermines the efforts of our law enforcement officers who work each day to protect and defend our country

and our communities. It is the paramount duty of government to protect person and property, and we will fight every day to ensure all Georgians are kept safe.” Failing to deport criminal illegal immigrants is a blatant violation of federal law, the attorneys general argue. It’s also inconsistent with policies of previous administrations, including former President Barack Obama’s, who’s own Solicitor General Donald Verrilli said “Congress has told DHS that it has to prioritize the removal of criminal aliens,” according to the complaint. Mr. Mayorkas’ announcement last fall came after Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody sued the federal government over its “catch-and-release” policy, and after Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued the administration multiple times over immigration law violations. According to the complaint, their states collectively spend more than $100 million a year “incarcerating aliens who commit crimes within our borders. We will spend even more because of the criminals the Biden administration is releasing instead of arresting, detaining and removing, especially given the high recidivism rates among released prisoners.”
