My question is regarding the issue of unaccompanied minors that have gone through severe trauma fleeing imminence poverty. How likely is it that these children are going to receive Refugee Status . The situation at the border, most of the kids are coming from three countries, el salvador, guatemala, and honduras. The law in place today which provides relief for those kids if they can prove they have a fear of persecution or death would allow them to get asylum, not Refugee Status. It is different. A

In the last hour, the lapd briefed reporters on what has happened so far. The suspect in the vehicle fled into the forest. Shortly thereafter, this individual barricaded himself in one of the cabins there and an exchange of gunfire occurred. During that exchange of gunfire, two other off
