Departamento de Justicia demanda a Texas por ley que permitiría al estado arrestar a migrantes 

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:10:31 GMT

AUSTIN, Texas – El Departamento de Justicia federal demandó el miércoles a Texas por una nueva ley estatal que permitiría a la policía detener a los migrantes que entren ilegalmente en Estados Unidos, llevando de nuevo al gobernador republicano Greg Abbott ante los tribunales por sus medidas contra los migrantes que cruzan la frontera sur del país.La demanda lleva a Texas a otro enfrentamiento sobre inmigración en un momento en el que Nueva York y Chicago están tomando medidas contra los autobuses y aviones que transportan a migrantes y son enviados por Abbott a ciudades con gobiernos demócratas. Texas también está librando batallas judiciales por separado para mantener alambre de púas en la frontera y una barrera flotante en el río Bravo (o Grande).Pero una ley que Abbott firmó el mes pasado plantea un desafío mayor y más amplio a la autoridad del gobierno federal en materia de inmigración. Además de permitir a la policía de cualquier lugar de Texas detener a migrantes acusad...

Es que este “Régimen de Regularización de Activos” aplica por igual a los residentes y extranjeros al 31 de diciembre de 2023 y permite la posibilidad de regularizar dinero en efectivo, inmuebles, criptomonedas u otros activos financieros.Además, se permite regularizar bienes qu...

NEW YORK (AP) — More U.S. hospitals are requiring masks and limiting visitors as health officials face an expected but still nasty post-holiday spike in flu, COVID-19 and other illnesses.While many experts say this season likely won’t prove to be as deadly as some other recent winters, it still could mean hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations and many thousands of deaths across the country.New York City last week instituted a mask mandate for the city’s 11 public hospitals.
