In Missouri, Honduran immigrant Alex GarcÃa left a church in the St. Louis suburb of Maplewood Wednesday, after spending more than 1,200 days living in sanctuary. The Trump administration had scheduled the married father of five to be deported in 2017. GarcÃa emerged from sanctuary after freshman Missouri Congressmember Cori Bush introduced a “private bill” to grant him permanent residency.

Good morning.
The one-shot coronavirus vaccine from Johnson & Johnson appears to be safe and effective in trials, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said in documents published yesterday. The vaccine effectively reduced the risk of Covid-19, and prevented confirmed cases of the virus, at least 14 days after vaccination, according to FDA briefing documents. This takes the prospective vaccine a step closer to approval, with an advisory panel of independent experts set to meet on Friday to decide whether to recommend that the FDA take the step.
In a trial of more than 44,000 participants, the vaccine was 72% effective in the US, but just 57% effective in South Africa, where the B1351 variant is widespread, indicating the vaccine might be less effective against other variants of the virus. It’s also unclear how long the vaccine protects people, and the degree to which it stops asymptomatic transmission.
