It's Morning Edition from n.p.r. News I'm Steve Inskeep and I'm Noel King good morning the public gets its 1st look tomorrow at how the Democrats plan to conduct the impeachment inquiry 2 diplomats will testify before the House Intelligence Committee and television cameras then later in the week another diplomat will testify memory of on of it the former ambassador to Ukraine who was recalled now they are just the 1st 3 more witnesses will be called as well Republicans have said they would like some witnesses called to they've presented a list it includes Hunter Biden Joe Biden son and the whistleblower whose complaint started this whole process so what is there would be witness list tell us about the Republican strategy Jaffer is in studio with me he was associate White House counsel during the Bush administration he was also senior counsel for the House Intelligence Committee These days he's executive director of the National Security Institute at George Mason University thanks for coming and they start me off so these witnesses that the Republicans would like to testify are they likely to testify Well you know it's hard to know the Democrats have already indicated out of ships of the kid he will not call the whistleblower So we know at least a whistleblower is off the table for now unless there's some sort of other resolution and these other witnesses it's hard to know whether Adam Schiff will agree will see the process going forward we know that one of the efforts the households are going to make is to say the processes is inappropriate the process has been affected by the Democrats desired impeached Trump and if they don't call the witnesses the robins vast for that will be another count against the House Democrats on this claim that the process is problematic Ok So Adam Schiff ultimately is the one who makes the decisions and he said the whistleblower will not be testifying What's the reason that he's given for that well Adam point is that the whistleblower is the name should be kept from public discussion that this person has given a confidential raise a confidential concern and that as a result calling the whistleblower is inappropriate and also unnecessary because you have the best evidence necessary which is the transfer of the phone calls so the transcript shows what they need you don't need the whistleblower if the transcript describes what happened on the call is that going to I hate to ask you to speculate but is that going to convince the public. Well look I think the public you know is used to the traditional American presumption under the Constitution a accused has a right to confront their accuser and it's the rebuttal is used to that notion so it I think the American public be concerned but look the truth is the American public is ready hardened on this issue there are people who think the president should be impeached and there are people who think the president should be impeached and there's very few people in the middle the vast majority people have a strong held view on this question and the same is largely true in the Senate there are a handful of senators in both parties who might be convinced one way or the other but the bulk of indicated that they know where they are on this issue Ok the Republicans are also asking for Hunter Biden to testify for former d.n.c. Staffer to testify when you look at the list of people that they would like to hear from and that they importantly want the public to hear from can you parse out for us what their strategy is what are they trying to say with that list of people sure I mean there's a couple of things that I think the House Republicans are trying to point out one I think that they are putting out the process doesn't work 2nd other pointing out that this is really about corruption that the president wasn't trying to get political rival he was messy in corruption Ukraine that Ukraine was already involved in the u.s. Elections that's why they're called this d.n.c. Staffer who worked allegedly with Ukrainian embassy as a political report suggested and so they're saying look the president was doing the right thing by the country yes he may have he may have engaged even a quote unquote quid pro quo and u.s. Democrats are now staying away from that war now the talk is about bribery because the American public doesn't you know doesn't want to hear Latin words right they want to hear words they understand they can relate to words like bribery extortion the president trying to extort allegedly Ukraine to get an investigation a political rival the Republican story the president story is look the president was a travesty a political rival who's a vesting corruption and a very corrupt country by some measures 70 percent roughly of Ukrainians have paid a bribe in the last 6 months to a year and at the present was engaged in the same thing that. Biden was which was trying to deal corruption Ukraine and he wanted the 100 by the investigator because he was on the board of this company for no good reason getting paid a lot of money so is his business partner and so they want the business partner called they want her Biden called they want this d.n.c. Contractor a called who worked with who worked with the Ukraine embassy their point is this is about corruption this is about Ukraine influence elections the president long dislike Ukraine and so they're making the point that the president acting in his official role as president he was fine to do what he did in fact the president called publicly for an investigation of Hunter by and by the Ukraine as em by the Chinese so there's nothing secret here so even if under Biden doesn't testify the idea is I am member of the public who maybe haven't been following this blow by blow I go in and I watch some of these hearings and Hunter Biden is on my mind and what he may have done wrong is on my mind because the Republicans want him to testify and the Democrats potentially say no he can't that's what I'm thinking is that is the strategy I think that's exactly right and the idea is to is to shift the conversation from Donald Trump and and sort of tried to engage in a transaction with the president of Ukraine and turn it into about her Biden and his inappropriate activity is in Ukraine and the d.n.c. Is inappropriate to use in Ukraine and to shift the narrative and so the public have one sort of tell Democrats another story to tell and the problem is that it's become very partisan and the problem with that issue is that when it rolls over to the Senate if the Senate seizes investigation of as having been partisan there are likely to vote other than along party lines on a piece of if that happens the president will not be ruled by any by any margin to be as you have her was an associate White House counsel during the Bush administration he is currently executive director of the National Security Institute George Mason University thanks so much for coming in we appreciate it as regular people in Mississippi are used to dealing with natural disasters like hurricanes and floods 3 months ago small towns across the state went through a different kind of upheaval something. Man-Made something they were not prepared for Ari Shapiro the co-host of N.P.R.'s All Things Considered visited Morton Mississippi to look at how the community is adapting. The student body of Morton Elementary is as diverse as any school I've ever visited lots of the Latino kids here have parents who moved to the area to work at a chicken plant nearby this year August 7th was the 2nd day of school superintendent Tony McGee drove across town that morning he saw something unusual outside one of the plants and noticed that there was some activity there with some law enforcement actually call one of our system superintendents because relatively close to the school he was watching the biggest workplace immigration raid ever in a single state Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested 680 people at 7 plants across Mississippi in Martin alone more than 340 were arrested and this is a town of just over 3000 people you know we have plans for tornadoes we have plans for fire we practice nowadays for active shooters we have all the but you know ice raid is not one that is really on the radar from the perspective of the school system did it feel like responding to a natural disaster like a tornado well ahead does I mean we've had a lot of communities contact this since this happened and a lot of communities are putting together a plan for for this very thing how do you handle it almost a quarter of the kids here are Latino a 17 year old who will call Luis because of his family's immigration status had just started his senior year she went to school she checked in the. Normal so. And she said she didn't want to tell you that there had been an ice ride yeah she started crying so. His parents were both working at the plant when the ice agents started arresting people we were referring to his mother as Maria you know. I didn't know what was going to happen with my kids because I seen kids. That was my biggest fear Maria and her husband are prohibited from working while they await a court date this is it apathy and desperate not being able to work our future is totally up in the air while the family feels like victims law enforcement sees them as perpetrators in Jackson I sat down with u.s. Attorney Mike Hirst he was involved in the investigation for 18 months leading up to the raids his office is now prosecuting more than 100 of the immigrants picked up in August for crimes ranging from stealing Americans identities to falsifying immigration documents he says the experience of children in Morton was unfortunate but unavoidable any time I see a child or a family who are adversely affected by their family members criminal actions that concerns me bothers me but at the end of the day we have laws on the books and so our job is to enforce those laws the sheriff was angered he wasn't notified school superintendents we talked to felt the same way do you think more could have been done to bring in local officials Well I think any time you execute criminal search warrants you have to be completely secret no company executives have been arrested and cook foods the company that owns the largest processing plant in Morton didn't respond to our interview request the u.s. Attorney Hurst says the investigation is ongoing from the day of the raids the community has rallied behind immigrant families all over town you find the kind of relief efforts you might see after a natural disaster. The Morton United Methodist Church is paying people's bills Maria brought in a handful of them last Monday meaning that I mean I came to pay my bills gas electric and water for the last 3 months the church has been collecting donations to pay these bills $100000.00 so far Sheila compassed is the pastor the poor are the poor no matter what their rice is or legal status she started this job 3 weeks before the raids and she says the early days. Felt like the work she did after Hurricane Katrina it's not the same because you can't just put a blue tarp on a roof and have people's Ok you know but it was much like a natural disaster we did the very same things we would have done in a natural disaster as far as emergency find out where everybody is are they safe except natural disasters cannot be controlled or predicted and they come out of nowhere this was something of the government decided to do true but we didn't know it's coming it was it was a natural felt like a natural disaster as because we had no idea it was coming at 1st she thought this relief effort would last about 6 months now she says it seems like it will be a lot longer.

News I'm Steve Inskeep and I'm Noel King good morning today the Supreme Court hears arguments in a case that threatens the legal status of around 700000 young people they're often called dreamers these are kids who were brought to the u.s. Illegally by their parents President Trump tried to rescind Dhaka after he took office but the lower courts blocked him N.P.R.'s legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg has a story in 2012 President Obama put in place a program to temporarily protect young people brought to the country illegally as children if you were in school or a high school graduate or had been honorably discharged from the military and if you passed a background check you were eligible for temporary legal status and a work permit renewable every 2 years the program is formally known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals or DACA the deferred action is different detention and deportation President Trump from the beginning seemed conflicted about DACA caught between the mass deportations he promised his political base during the campaign and his admiration for what so many of the dreamers have accomplished my dad always told me when he came to this country he could never rest fully blaze had down and I you know wasn't until I had received my doc a card but he was able to breathe the next thing you know I was choosing from different universities acceptances and I was like hey I can dream like I can go to school.

Teacher Mari Cruz our musician Emanuel a auto repair shop owner Angelica via Lobos and Harvard law student Michel Santos to Ledo they were born in Bangladesh Mexico Nigeria and the Philippines their success illustrates the reason that Republicans and Democrats in Congress tried to work out a dock a deal that President Trump would sign in 2017 rest easy the president told the dreamers but he kept waffling back and forth about what he would be willing to accept and what he wouldn't be willing to accept Julie Hirschfeld Davis author of Border Wars says that at the end of the day trumps indecision so frustrated Senate Republican leaders that they worked out a compromise with Democrats on their own just hours before the deal was to come up for a vote on the Senate floor however the administration branded it unacceptable shortly thereafter Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the doc a program which And because he said it was illegal and unconstitutional to begin with Simply put if we want to further our goal of strengthening the constitutional order and the rule of law in America the Department of Justice cannot the Fand this overreach they are dead wrong when they say that the docket program adopted by the Obama administration was illegal that's Ted Olson who served as solicitor general in the George w. Bush administration today in the Supreme Court he'll be representing the docket plaintiffs also points to program similar to Dhaka that were put in place by every other president dating back to the Eisenhower administration programs that granted temporary legal status to millions over time Janet Napolitano was secretary of homeland sick. Purity when doco was created not only is there a long history of deferring action for particular groups under the immigration laws but there's the whole concept of prosecutorial discretion which gives the executive branch you know the authority to make decisions about who is going to feel the full brunt of the federal government in and then Foresman proceeding versus not none of the Trump administration's d.h.s.s. Secretaries involved in revoking Dacca would agree to be interviewed for this broadcast so we turn to John Eastman a constitutional law professor at Chapman University who filed a brief siding with the trumpet ministration in the dock a case the Supreme Court has long recognized that there may be a line between prosecutorial discretion not enforcing the law in every instance and a complete suspension of the law he's been maintains that Dhaka was different from other similar programs in prior administrations not only did it say we're not going to enforce the law as it's written but we're going to give out benefits work authorization so Security benefits tax credits on tax returns None of those are for a permissible exercise of prosecutorial discretion so I do think there are different times Janet Politan no counters that granting temporary legal status to Dr recipients enables them to work and when they work they must pay into Social Security and pay taxes something like 91 percent have jobs if Dhaka is rescinded their estimates that the government would lose some $60000000000.00 in federal tax revenues no politician who is no longer d.h. As secretary she's president of the giant University of California system including $700.00 students with Dhaka status and in that capacity she's challenging President Trump's revocation of the. The program as so arbitrary and unsupported by stated reasons that the revocation is itself illegal if they had. A full policy review and had set forth all their reasons and had demonstrated that they had weighed the pros and cons and just came to a different conclusion they might be able to prevail in this case but they didn't do that whether the current Supreme Court dominated by conservative justices inclined to defer to presidential power will buy that argument remains to be seen Nina Totenberg n.p.r.

News I'm Noel King and I'm Steve Inskeep good morning ISIS fighters captured in Syria face many many many years in prison so which countries should be stuck with the trouble and expense of holding them Turkey says it should not be Turkey the country is holding a number of ISIS fighters in prison and says it will now start returning them to their countries of origin in many cases they're from Europe and Turkey says one is American N.P.R.'s Peter Kenyon is following all this from Istanbul Hi there Peter Hi Steve so when we say European countries which countries to come from well the interior minister here says there are 7 Germans there scheduled to be quote repatriated on Thursday there's also a bunch of proceedings going on one is aimed at deporting 11 French citizens allegedly captured by Turkish forces in northern Syria other processes are underway for an unspecified number of foreign fighters said to be from Ireland Germany Denmark but where these people are citizens has become complicated by the fact that some countries are stripping these folks of their citizenship president ridgetop Bedouin says that doesn't matter they're going back anyway and as you said one of them's an American pow there's a question of expense millions of dollars u.s. Dollars to keep somebody in prison potentially for a long time the question of politics people don't want them around but who it is that American as far as is known it's not known not known publicly there's no identities of any of these people had been released Turkey said they were going to repatriate this u.s. Citizen and then there was video up on the Turkey Greece border and it showed a man reportedly this terrorist hands raised in apparent frustration as if to say hey where am I supposed to go to great Police say they denied entry twice this morning he was nowhere to be seen but President gave a speech before he left for the u.s. Saying hey he's not our problem so based on the video anyway it up. Here's the turkey just took him to the edge of the country and said good luck but he couldn't get anywhere is that what happened yes the Greek police put out a statement saying twice he showed up on their side the 1st time he said I don't really want to come here but here I am and they turned him away in the 2nd time they turned him away again so when Turkey talks about sending people back to Germany or doing something with this American do their countries of origin their countries of citizenship have to take them back well they say not and as we've mentioned they're stripping the citizenship away which means they certainly wouldn't have to take them back in their view and that's exactly what's happening countries are saying we don't want these people back in Germany has been not quite as definitive as some of the others but there's no one lining up to saying yes please we want these folks this is almost a version of the Guantanamo problem that the United States has had right the Us established this prison this detention facility at Guantanamo Bay Cuba because while politically speaking nobody wanted nobody wanted al Qaeda type fighters or ISIS fighters in the United States right in Turkey has no Guantanamo that I'm aware of anyway and certainly has not announced any plans to relocate these people to some 3rd place like this so if one of these people is reportedly American is this likely to be an agenda item when Turkey's president visits the White House this week and talks with President Trump. Well certainly would like the u.s. To take back this person and any other American citizens who fought with ISIS and their family members too likely to come up there's a lot of other issues as well Turkey's been buying Russian missiles that has folks unhappy Do they still deserve to be in NATO what about the u.s. Support for Syrian Kurdish fighters accuracies them as terrorists how is that going to be playing out so there's a lot of issues to be discussed I do think that this will probably be one of them Peter thanks for the update thanks Steve That's N.P.R.'s Peter Kenyon in Istanbul. In many u.s. Cities you can find a street named after Dr Martin Luther King Jr So it was in Kansas City Missouri where a major street was named after him earlier this year but then last week residents of that city voted to change the street name back Michel Tyrion Johnson of case you are explains it's a high emotion subject it always has been Yeah and so the people who wanted to keep him ill k. Were led by a group of local black ministers Ok you know in addition to them there the people of course really it's it's shameful that Kansas City does not have a major street or a street at all named after Dr King Well you mentioned that this is it within the city it's controversial right is an organization called Save the Passaic and right Eve made the argument like this is not about race this is not about racism this is about the history of the street do you think they represent most people in Kansas City or are they outliers I don't think they're all liars I mean there's a reason why the vote was 69 percent to change the street back in only 31 percent to keep it in milk a which it hasn't even been an entire year. But that group even though from an optics standpoint it looks as if it's white people it really isn't just white people it's white people it's black people. It's Latino's because here's the context of his sale Pacelle is this really gorgeous beautiful historic Boulevard that has been this street that upper middle class black people have aspired to be on right and so you know you have the argument of why is it on some of these other streets that it could be like prospect or truce Well those are consider sort of rundown streets the kind of streets that people don't like in milk a being named after and then so that's the interesting argument about not wanting it to be Perceval it's you know the underlying argument even though people don't put it that way really is that to sales too good to be named after him l k in a black neighborhood so in a 5 made it to the Passaic in Kansas City that's really saying something I mean exactly Ok Ok So Kansas City is a majority white city and I've been reading that it's one of the only major cities in this country without a street that is named after Dr King Why is that well it's a complicated area I mean it's you know people have a tendency to sort of dismiss you know Midwestern states what they call as fly over science where you know I do think that the people who supported having to sail named after him Ok had been working for years to have been in the K.-Street is just always been a matter of what is the best street and one of the things about this topic right now whether someone lives in k.c. Most proper Are they live in one of the surrounding suburbs is everyone has an opinion on where the milk a should go right so it's not like this is a city that does not want to honor Martin Luther King Jr With the street that is the disappointing near it is on a national even international level about this story that I think is making so many people upset hurt and angry is the implication is that we don't want to honor. King No The issue is how it was decided in where the street with Michelle Tyrion Johnson is a reporter with case you are Michelle thanks so much for being with us thank you. This is n.p.r. News.

Our weather trend continues with highs in the mid seventy's for the lower elevations mid sixty's around the toher region and upper sixty's in Reno. It's a true 51 It's Morning Edition from n.p.r. News I'm Steve Inskeep I'm Noel King and I'm Rachel Martin since July of 2017 more than 5000 children have been separated from their families at the Us Mexico border that's according to the u.s. Government's own numbers author Gina Thomas has written a book about one of those children she calls her Julio in 2017 Julio left Honduras with her stepfather and her mother the little girl was between 4 and 5 years old at the time they had hired smugglers to get them safely from Honduras to the United States but the smugglers kidnapped tool his mother and forced her into prostitution who via and her stepfather made it to the border but when they got there they were separated from each other eventually Julio was placed with extended family in North Carolina but it was an abusive situation so like many unaccompanied minors she ended up in the u.s. Foster care system and that is where Gina Thomas came in I got a call from social workers on a Friday afternoon. Telling me that there was a little girl who only spoke Spanish and her name is who Leah and that they really needed somewhere for her to stay for the weekend she and her husband Andrew had fostered kids before they believe it's part of their mission as evangelical Christians they welcomed Julio to their family in February 2018 and what was supposed to be just a weekend turned into 4 life changing months we knew that we were kind of able to meet that need and the thought was Ok it's only for a weekend we can do this we had another foster daughter in our home at the time we have 2 biological children as well so really it was the fact that this was just going to be a weekend that made us say yes in her book separated by the border Gina Thomas brings us an intimate glimpse into the journey of one child caught up in America's debate over who gets to be American the 1st 2 months it was very much her wanting to go home she had video conversations with her mom and her family pretty regularly throughout the week and those conversations would last sometimes for hours and so it really did become you know a joining of both of our families and you through this time have gotten to know her mom through these video chats sleeping. Can you describe what that moment was like when you and your husband and her Aaliyah landed in Honduras and and you got to see her see her mom again. Yeah it was. Just a really beautiful moment. Is really hard to imagine knowing that they had been apart for 8 months. So to watch them be able to come together and finally see each other run up to each other and literally not like let go of each other the whole ride home from there so the airport was about 2 and a half 3 hours away from their actual home and wholly a who never wants to be touched like doesn't you know she's very independent little girl and for her to just you know sit in her mother's lap the entire time and not move was definitely not her personality 3 months after the little girl was reunited with her mother in Honduras Gina Thomas wanted to understand more about who his journey so she paid a visit to the u.s. Border Patrol processing station in McCallum Texas what did you see in Macallan What did you learn there why did you want to go we had seen a couple of documents that well you at the time had supposedly signed quote unquote signed her name but you know she was for she didn't really know how to sign her name or even to write her name at the time and so I was just curious about what that process was like for people especially for unaccompanied minors and then you know I've seen some of the pictures of you know kids in cages and I was just curious is that real is that actually what's happening and and it was you write this book this memoir really from your perspective as an evangelical Christian and like any group there's divergent opinion within the white evangelical community but when you look at the leadership in this faith tradition do you think they have fallen short when it comes to the issue of specifically the issue of family separation at the border absolutely I think that fallen short actually comes from this idea that pro-life is anti-abortion and I believe that. If if that evangelical leadership is going to get in the right place when it comes to immigration it's got to start with really recognizing what pro-life means in a robust manner and I believe that that it's really a fault of our theology. That really stems back to this idea that that we are pro-life if you know death is right in front of it but if if we're not pro-life when other people are pulling families apart you know we talk a lot about family values as evangelical Christians and if we are going to be for family values then we need to be for family reunification. Loupe a who is mom gave you permission to write this book and to share their story. What is the one message you want people to take away from it. I think that the biggest message for evangelical Christians as to specially for those of us who are white and middle class to recognize that the situations that people walk through the oppression that even we ourselves are doing to other people these are not isolated events we're seeing it all throughout not just immigration but racism and I would say that that it's important for us to listen to the stories of those who have experienced things very differently from us and to actually pay attention to them and believe them when they're told to us so we really need to start working on some of those things and fixing that one of the other things that I talk about a lot in the book is this idea that salvation is individual we don't really see Shalom which is really more of a communal salvation so salvation of a whole community and I think that we need to focus more on that your families these 2 families became so entwined right yours and Julio is from the bay. How often do you keep in touch now what do you know of who has life how is she doing. Yeah we keep in touch a lot we talk a lot through voice message mostly it's Luke and I talking but the the kids will get on every once in a while and talk with each other she's loving school I'm doing really well in school and she's speaking some English too and teaching some of her her friends around her how to say things in English which she's really proud about. So yeah it's just it's a really beautiful thing to to see them reunite but also to really gain family friends in this whole process Gina Thomas Her book is called separated by the border a birth mother a foster mother and a migrant child's 3000 mile journey Gina thanks so much for sharing it with us thank you so much 'd.
