Trump made immigration a central theme of his successful presidential campaign Americans largely support immigration reform overall but disagree about how policies such as deportations should be carried out A majority of Americans support Trump's current deportation plans A poll carried out by The New York Times and Ipsos from January 2 to 10 found that 55 percent of voters strongly or somewhat supported such plans Eighty-eight percent supported "deporting immigrants who are here illegally and have criminal records."

A 77-year-old woman has died after she was struck by an SUV at a Wheaton bus stop Thursday Police identified the woman who died as Maria Lusminia Colindres The accident happened at Veirs Mill Road and Ferrara Avenue in Montgomery County around 4:30 p.m The driver attempted a U-turn and for some reason the car took off in a complete circle crossing six travel lanes and hopping two curbs The terrible bad chance of this tragedy is almost incomprehensible that green paint left by police marks the path of the explorer It went straight into the bus shelter and over the passenger bench without even hitting the sides Even the crew repairing the bus stop today found it unsettling “The only thing I can think about is the poor lady that lost her life,” says John Paez Her grieving family says she was

from her son in accordance with President Donald Trump’s “zero-tolerance” policy toward immigrants who cross the border illegally Ibis Obeida Guzman Colindres was supposed to see her son again in three days That’s what she said she was told when a federal official took the 5-year-old away at an immigration facility in Texas They would be reunited after Guzman Colindres went to court speaking in Spanish by phone from the Federal Detention Center in SeaTac DHS reports about 2,000 minors separated from families nor heard anything more about being reunited with her son “It’s been a month and I haven’t heard my son’s voice,” she said The Trump administration has said it is separating families as part of a “zero tolerance policy” that involves criminally prosecuting all those who cross the border illegally Guzman Colindres said she left Honduras in early May a day after two men came to her house and said they wanted it for their own “I decided to come for my son’s life,” she said leaving Guzman Colindres with her grandmother The mother now lives in California with Guzman Colindres’ half-sister Guzman Colindres planned to live with her mother and sister she was taken with her son to a cell so cold that she and others refer to it as “the freezer.” They were there for an hour before they were separated — their first time apart She has been given a phone number for the San Antonio facility where her son is being held But she says she has not been able to get through to anyone Castillo-Colindres said she hears from the boy at least twice a week He goes to school in the facility and has been to a park we’re trying to figure out how to get him to come to my house,” Castillo-Colindres said The 22-year-old is applying to be his “sponsor,” and is awaiting a background check Guzman Colindres said she remains “sad and worried,” believing that children “need the warmth of their mother.” When she will see her son again likely will depend in large part on what happens with her own case and a lawyer from the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project is representing her The first step is probably an interview with an immigration official to determine whether she has a “credible fear” of persecution in Honduras No date for that interview has yet been set Editor’s note: Due to the number of comments on this story that violated our Terms of Service Agnes Torres

Sign up for Dispatches to get stories like this one as soon as they are published Jaime Colindres’ third-floor room at the American Hotel in Los Angeles was tiny but in it he painted expansive scenes of the American West on salvaged pieces of wood Some residents landed there when the city’s ruthless rental market slammed its doors on them but they quickly soaked up the creative soul that creaked and hummed rattled and swelled through the battered hotel The American is now a boutique tourist hotel in LA’s downtown Arts District Nearly all of its longtime residents have been replaced It’s the city’s failure to enforce its own laws to preserve affordable housing A 2008 city ordinance sought to protect residential hotels like the American. Residential hotels often offer single-room dwellings and are sometimes the only housing that elderly, disabled and low-income people can afford. But Capital & Main and ProPublica found 21 such buildings, including the American, offering rooms to travelers owners who convert or demolish residential hotel rooms must either build new units or pay into a city housing fund None of the 21 have received clearances from the city showing that they’ve done either But the agency has cited only four of the hotels for residential hotel violations even as some buildings went through obvious transformations and publicly advertise rooms on travel websites The American wasn’t one of the hotels cited This week, the city announced it would investigate all 21 hotels for violations of the law and review the resources needed to improve enforcement “We are asking for a report on how this happened and recommendations for ensuring this does not happen again,” said Zach Seidl But the city’s action comes too late for some The American’s unhindered conversion into guest rooms and suites upended the lives of many tenants who called it home Their stories illustrate the impact that LA’s failure to preserve affordable housing has had on the city’s low-income residents If the Housing Department’s planned investigation reveals violations of the residential hotel law “We’ll work it out.” Verge previously said he was unaware of the residential hotel law he denied that the conversion left his former tenants in difficult situations noting that he allowed tenants who wished to stay during the remodel to do so “That hotel was falling apart,” Verge said “I literally made them the greatest hotel ever and the greatest place to live.” The 118-year-old hotel was a hotbed of creativity in part because its low rents gave artists the freedom to focus on their craft most tenants got rooms that were barely big enough to fit their beds The hotel was a place where people turned when they had nowhere to go they joined a community that many embraced “It was just a flophouse for all us artists and musicians,” said Christiaan Pasquale a singer and guitarist who lived at the hotel in the 1990s and again in the 2010s “You almost get trapped at the American because it was so fun and so cheap.” The American was unique because of the community its residents built and because it stood as a cultural hub in the Arts District a graffiti-splattered dive on the hotel’s ground floor was a hangout where they unwound at the end of the day displayed work by major LA artists and staged live theater events as well as hosting big-name acts like Beck The American was a housing safety net for Colindres who had lived at the hotel in the 1990s and again for about five years in the early 2010s a truck driver who had been at the American for about six years until he was driven away by a bedbug infestation in 2013 before Verge began the hotel’s transformation Núñez would duck out of gatherings with his Teamster co-workers at Denny’s and rush home to be with his neighbors at the American ended up at the American in 2013 because it was her only housing option A would-be landlady had refused to rent to her because at the time Giner relied on disability payments She was thrilled to learn that the punk bands she’d listened to as a teenager had played just a few floors below her room at the American no one cared about her source of income She got a job as a barista at the coffee shop across the street from the hotel and quickly settled in “I became good friends with a lot of people,” she said bought the hotel and planned to renovate it He told residents that those who could endure the dust noise and intrusions of a remodel could stay But he also provided an incentive for tenants to move according to interviews with eight current and former residents Many of the American’s residents accepted Verge’s offers “We were all just desperate at the time,” and the money sounded good “We all worked hard at our crafts — I was in a band and touring Any money like that was a big chunk of change.” they struggled to find stable

stepping up as CEO from her current role as COO of the company will stay on as the Executive Chairman and CEO of ARG (Aviation Registry Group of Companies) Colindres started at the company in the summer of 2013 Her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Tufts University and an MBA in Art Management at Columbia College inspired her to transform the company’s brand identity and attract new clients as well as stabilizing the company’s core team work closely with the DCA of Aruba to deliver timely aircraft registration to business and commercial aircraft clients The partnership is at the heart of the company’s business Colindres is proud of her role in nurturing that relationship “Through the years our relationship with the DCA has flourished There has been a strong focus on team building between both organizations,” Ms “The Registry of Aruba team and the DCA are an integrated it has grown the commercial operation department from one AOC to seven who have responded well to her team-building management style as COO The company has limited turnover and offered more flexibility by restructuring the roles and positions to keep employees playing to their strengths we’re all revolving and working around each other rather than being in our own galaxies,” Ms The Registry of Aruba has always embraced innovation Established in 1995 as the first public-private aircraft registration program This business model means customers are dealing with dedicated personalized service instead of a bureaucracy The registration process is streamlined to exclude red tape while maintaining allowing owners and operators to fly unrestricted worldwide This was nearly uncharted territory when The Registry began ARG has developed two successful aircraft registries (Aruba and San Marino) when the company developed the first online system for aircraft registration electronic access has been a large part of the company’s brand Ms Colindres hopes to continue to become entirely digital in her tenure as CEO we’ve brought on many colleagues who are very pro-technology Our goal is to keep the same high standard for safety and customer service as we innovate and evolve,” she says “We truly

a small number of women in the male-dominated field of aviation she prefers to focus on the quality of her work rather than gender politics Colindres is focusing on expanding The Registry’s clientele across the world This will be a continuation of her recent success attracting clients in Hong Kong and elsewhere in Asia “It’s about understanding cultures,” she said “While developing our customer relationship it became evident that some of our international clientele appreciate more face to face communication I started that by going to Hong Kong and China to set up meetings and introduce myself The Registry made it a priority to be present and that has resulted in some big client relationships I would like to expand that strategy to several other regions The Aruba Registry has a lot to offer and it has been tried and tested throughout its now 26 years in operation,” Ms Many clients choose The Registry of Aruba because their homebase CAA’s are not customer service-oriented or too

Friday that they had learned a driver who caused a deadly wrong-way crash on I-15 had been drinking in the hours prior to the crash “I can confirm the person was in fact consuming alcohol prior to the incident,” Sgt “I can’t speak directly to that level of impairment that the person may have We’ll hopefully get those results from toxicology reports later from the medical examiner’s office.” Street said State Bureau of Investigation agents were able to conclude the driver identified as 24-year-old Kristina Marie Colindres was drinking through a “TRACE” investigation or Targeting Responsibility in Alcohol-Connected Emergencies investigation Toxicology results aren’t expected back for six to eight weeks Troopers responded to the crash after 1 a.m Friday on the southbound lanes of I-15 near the 2600 South exit on I-15 Investigators said Colindres’ truck collided with a car carrying two people identified as 23-year-old Samantha Sanchez and 40-year-old Paul Joseph Durocher “We believe those two passengers died instantly and then the Ford F-series pickup caught fire,” Street said A search of court records showed Colindres had been charged last November in Murray with public intoxication Troopers were setting out Friday night on a Labor Day weekend DUI blitz in hopes of preventing disastrous consequences like those seen early Friday morning “Lives are at stake and as we’ve seen over the last 24-hours innocent lives have been lost because of people’s poor decisions to consume alcohol and we don’t want to see it again,” Street said The New York Times and the Salt
