On Thursday, Jan. 25, the White House released a tentative framework, which would provide Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients a path to citizenship, so long as there is funding for the controversial border wall.
The Framework on Immigration Reform and Border Security, outlines that legal status for DACA recipients and other DACA-eligible individuals could obtain citizenship within a 10 to 12 year span, assuming the new requirements for work, education, and eligibility are met by applicants.
The document also outlines nuclear family migration through guidelines that limit sponsorships to spouses and minor children. This emphasis on nuclear family sponsorships is a means to address what has been dubbed as “chain migration.”

A group of San Diegans affected by California’s Assembly Bill 5 arrived at an Elizabeth Warren campaign event in Barrio Logan where the bill’s author, State Assemblymember Lorena Gonzalez-Fletcher (D-San Diego), was to speak before a stump speech by Obama-era HUD secretary Julian Castro.
The contingent voicing its discontent at the new law was comprised of about 15 individuals, including cartoonists, court reporters, tattoo artists, musicians, and caregivers. The protesters held handmade signs, shouted “repeal AB 5”, and booed for about a minute as the local assemblywoman took to the mic.
Gonzalez-Fletcher ignored the reaction and continued with her remarks in support of Warren, a Massachusetts Senator aspiring to become the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate for the November Election.

According to a Los Angeles Times article, the payment was made via wire transfer and the transaction was detailed in a two paragraph letter signed by Dean Spanos.
The termination of the Chargers’ stadium lease was made on Wednesday, January 31, the first day they had the option to cut their contract on the property after officiating their move to los Angeles. The lease was set to expire in 2020.
