THE HERNANDEZ FAMILY Homeowners since

MEXICO CITY (AP)

A dozen women spread across the grass of Alameda park in the

capital Saturday knitting hearts for a memorial to murdered girls as Mexico grapples with endemic violence against females.

Hands worked quickly looping canary yellow, blood red and tur-quoise yarn. The women then strung the hearts together, with the flick of a knitting needle, and suspended the creations from a marble urn that commemorates a Mexican freedom fighter.

The hearts twirled in the wind next to images of young girls who have been slain. Votive candles burned below mes-sages scribbled onto Post-it notes.

The knit-in came on the heels of rowdy protests sparked by outrage over bungled investigations into alleged rapes of teen-agers by police officers in the capital.

In one protest a week ago, dozens of women trashed a bus station, defaced the

Angel of Independence monument with spray paint and set a police station ablaze. While the protests led to greater com-mitments to stem violence from Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum, they also prompted widespread debate about how best to push for action.

A 2018 government survey found that four out of every five women in Mexico don’t feel safe. The United Nations says that 41% of Mexican women will expe-

rience sexual violence, such as unwanted groping or rape, during their lifetimes and that nine women are murdered on average every day in the country.

Like many women in Mexico, the knitters feel frustrated, angry and concerned for their safety. So they embraced a traditionally female craft to create a narrative without words, each stitch an expression of love for those who have been taken — the stolen hearts — and an offer-ing of support for those who live in fear of violence each day in Mexico.

“We are many hands knitting this,” said one of the women, who would

give only her first name, Teresa. “We are a lot of people who are thinking about how to solve this problem. We are tired of living in an environment of violence.”

Teresa, 30, compared being female in Mexico to a rat trying to escape from a bucket of water. If she lowers her guard, if she stops fighting, she fears she will slip under water. She told of being groped by a man while riding the subway at age 12 and then being reprimanded for punch-ing him.

There is knowledge and skill behind the knitting, Teresa said, making this form of activism feel like it is a useful way to pass the time.

It’s also a way to stitch together a com-munity, to create the social fabric nec-essary for change, said knitter Mónica Ortega.

The sticky notes on the impromptu memorial carry messages like “Let the fight continue” and “Not one more.”

Among the slain whose pictures are posted is Lesvy Berlín, a young woman found dead on a college campus in Mexico City. Investigators initially ruled the case a suicide by phone cable despite video evi-dence showing the 22-year-old being hit and strangled by her boyfriend minutes before her 2017 death. Mexico City’s chief prosecutor, Ernestina Godoy, has since apologized to Berlín’s family. The boy-friend faces homicide charges.

Among the knitters was Miriam Mabel Martínez, who began knitting when she was 7 and is author of a book titled “The Message Is in the Knitting.” She finds the process meditative as well as constructive, producing perhaps a scarf or blanket that someone will be able to use, if only for a time.

SEATTLE, Washington (AP)

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee announced his bid for a third term as governor

Thursday, saying that while it was an honor to run for president, he wants to continue his work leading the state.

“We told the Washington story around the United States,” he told reporters in Seattle following a news conference at Planned Parenthood regarding the Title X family planning program. “Being able to tell that story led to some good things, even though I won’t be the nominee, including the fact that we have elevated the climate change crisis to where it belongs. I’m very proud to have served for that purpose.”

Inslee had sent an email to supporters earlier in the day detailing his plans fol-lowing his announcement Wednesday night that he was ending his 2020 presi-dential bid after nearly six months.

He had made fighting climate change the central theme of his campaign and said he was confident that Democrats

would select a nominee who would champion climate change issues.

When asked if he would consider a Cabinet posi-tion like head of the Envi-ronmental Protection Agency if it were offered, he said no.

“There was one posi-tion in Washington, D.C., that I thought I was inter-ested in, and I will not be serving in that capacity,” he said. “So I’m looking forward to serving as gov-ernor if people give me this option.”

Governors in Wash-ington state aren’t subject to term limits, though most haven’t served more than two terms. The last three-term governor in Washington was Republican Gov. Dan Evans, who served from 1965 until 1977.

Three Democrats had already signaled they would run for governor, but only if Inslee didn’t: Attorney General Bob Fer-

guson, Commissioner of Public Lands Hilary Franz and King County Executive Dow Constantine. The political dominos continued with Democratic candidates lining up to run for attorney general and lands commissioner if Ferguson and Franz end up not seeking reelection to their posts. All have said they wouldn’t challenge incumbents if Inslee ran for a

third term.Franz said Wednesday

night that she’s not disap-pointed that she won’t be entering the governor’s race, saying that she loves her current job and will seek reelection because she has “a lot of work to do.” Fergu-son, who had already said he would seek reelection to a third term as attorney general if Inslee ran again, was at the Seattle event Thursday, as was Constan-tine.

Ferguson said he wasn’t disappointed by Inslee’s decision, saying “he’s earned

the right to run for a third term.”A few Republicans have already

announced plans to run for governor, including Phil Fortunato, a state senator, and Loren Culp, the police chief of Repub-lic, in eastern Washington. A Republican has not occupied the governor’s office in more than three decades.

BOSTON, Massachusetts (AP)

The Trump administration has eliminated a protection that lets immigrants remain in the

country and avoid deportation while they or their relatives receive life-saving medical treatments or endure other hard-ships, immigration officials said in letters issued to families this month.

Critics denounced the decision as a cruel change that could force desperate migrants to accept lesser treatment in their poverty-stricken homelands.

Mariela Sanchez, a native of Hondu-ras who recently applied for the special exemption, said a denial would amount to a death sentence for her 16-year-old son, Jonathan, who suffers from cystic fibro-sis. They are among many families who settled in Boston to seek care at some of the nation’s top hospitals.

Sanchez, who arrived in the U.S. with her family in 2016, said she lost a daugh-ter to the same disease years ago after doctors in her home country failed to diagnose it.

The disease, which is heredi-tary, affects the lungs and diges-tive system and has no cure.

“He would be dead,” if the family had remained in Hondu-ras, she said of her son. “I have panic attacks over this every day.”

In Boston alone, the decision could affect about 20 families with children fighting cancer, HIV, cerebral palsy, muscu-lar dystrophy, epilepsy and other serious conditions, said Anthony Marino, head of immi-gration legal services at the Irish International Immigrant Center, which represents the families.

Advocates say similar letters from Citi-zenship and Immigration Services have been issued to immigrants in California, North Carolina and elsewhere.

“Can anyone imagine the government ordering you to disconnect your child from life-saving care — to pull them from a hospital bed — knowing that it will cost them their lives?” Marino said.

“This is a new low,” Democratic Sen. Ed Markey said. “Donald Trump is literally deporting kids with cancer.”

A Citizenship and Immigration Ser-vices spokeswoman said the policy change was effective Aug. 7.

It affects all pending requests, including from those seeking a renewal of the two-year authorization and those applying for the first time. The only exception is for military members and their families.

The special status is similar to the Deferred Action for Child-hood Arrivals program that then-President Barack Obama created in 2012 to shield immigrants brought to the country as chil-dren from deportation — another policy the administration has been trying to dismantle.

Without the discretion-ary deferrals, immigrant fami-lies facing serious health issues have few other options for relief, medical experts in Boston argued Monday.

The deferrals, they added, do not provide families a pathway to

citizenship, though they can qualify for government-funded health benefits and receive legal permission to work while their children receive medical treatment.

“They’re not coming for a free ride. They’re coming to save their children,” said Joe Chabot, a director at the Dana-Farber/Boston Children’s Cancer and Blood Disorders Center. “It’s bewilder-ing.”

POLITICS

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (AP)

Rank-and-file Democrats appear to be shifting to the middle on health care, worried about

what’s politically achievable on their party’s top 2020 issue.

While “Medicare for All” remains hugely popular, the majority say they’d prefer building on “Obamacare” to expand coverage instead of a new gov-ernment program that replaces America’s mix of private and public insurance.

Highlighted by a recent national poll, the shifting views are echoed in inter-views with voters and the evolving posi-tions of Democratic presidential can-didates . Some have backed away from the government-run plan championed by Sens. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts that for months had seemed to be gaining momentum.

It could mean trouble for Sanders and his supporters, signaling a limit to how

far Democratic voters are willing to move to the left amid doubts that Americans would back such dramatic changes to their health care.

“We hear Medicare for All, but I’m not absolutely certain what that means and what that would then mean for me,” said Democrat Terrie Dietrich, who lives near Las Vegas. “Does it mean that private insurance is gone forever?”

Dietrich, 74, has Medicare and sup-plements that with private insurance, an arrangement she said she’s pretty com-fortable with.

Erin Cross, her 54-year-old daughter and also a Democrat, said she’s uncom-fortable with switching to a system in which a government plan is the only choice. She said Democrats won’t be able to appeal to Republicans unless they strike a middle ground and allow people to keep their private insurance.

“We’ve got to get some of these other people, these Republican voters, to come on over just to get rid of Trump,” she said.

SPORTS

RENTON, Washington (AP)

In his previous occupation, the final week of August was a time Doug Baldwin would be in the final

stages of preparing for the grind of the upcoming NFL season.

On Monday, Baldwin sat in an empty field, talking about the next stage of his life away from football and with a focus on philanthropy and helping others.

“The goal has always been to effect change in the world on a very large scale,” Baldwin said. “I really do feel, and I know it’s an ambitious statement to make and sometimes could be a naïve statement but as I think through what I want to accom-plish through the rest of my life and also for my children I want to change the world in a positive way.”

The former Seattle Seahawks wide receiver is no longer a football player, and one of his first projects in the post-play-ing career is spearheading construction of a community center in the Seattle suburb of Renton. Baldwin is donating $1 million toward the project with the goal of raising another $5 million in collaboration with the city of Renton.

“I think this center will be a portal where they can be seen, can be under-stood as human beings, can be recog-nized that there are things they need that can stabilize their lives or further their lives and this facility will present those

resources,” Baldwin said.The youth center Baldwin is champi-

oning has been nearly five years in the making. Baldwin lived in the area near where the proposed center will be built during his rookie season. He found sim-ilarities in the area to his upbringing in Pensacola, Florida, but without a gather-ing point for youth. Baldwin began con-versations with the city of Renton about ways to make a youth center a reality.

“This project is a personal passion,” Baldwin said. “This facility that we’re building it’s very similar to a facility and program where I grew up back in Pensac-ola, Florida. It’s a place I called my second home. There were resources and people that genuinely cared about me not only as a student and an athlete, but more so about me being a well-rounded human being. There was so much involved in that you can’t really put a measurement around. I owe a lot to them, to that orga-nization, to that facility, to that second home for me seeing the world the way I see it today.”

It was the first time Baldwin has talked publicly about his decision to step away from football — although he has yet to file retirement papers with the NFL. Baldwin was released by the Seahawks in early May with a failed physical designa-tion after an offseason where he under-went surgeries on his groin, shoulder and knee.

LATIN AMERICA

PENITAS, Panama (AP)

The acting U.S. homeland secu-rity secretary visited a camp in the Panamanian jungle Friday

housing hundreds of migrants who survived the perilous border crossing from Colombia, usually heading for the United States.

Kevin McAleenan arrived by SUV in Penitas shortly before midday and was briefed on the camp’s operations and the physical conditions of those who crossed the region known as the Darien Gap. He did not interact during the brief visit with the migrants, who come mostly from Haiti, Cuba and Africa, along with some from Asian nations. Nor did he comment to journalists.

Panamanian authorities have seen a spike in crossings of the Darien this year, with more than 16,000 people esti-mated to have made the several-day trek by foot so far this year. It’s a road-less, lawless place where stories abound

of migrants suffering robbery, sexual assault or murder in the Gap.

About 500 migrants are currently at the camp in Penitas, down significantly from previous months.

Many of them said they were unaware of McAleenan’s visit, and when he arrived with Panamanian Security Min-ister Rolando Mirones, escorted by border police, the migrants remained seated in villagers’ homes and looked on with apparent indifference.

On a hot and humid morning, migrants sat on shaded wooden porches and used cellphones to talk to loved ones. Dozens of tents were set up beneath two large open-air shelters next to rows of portable toilets. Laundry aired on chain link fences bookending a muddy path.

Some migrants said they hoped to leave soon for someplace safe where they can also find work, whether in the United States or not. Some mentioned Mexico as a possibility.

NATIONAL

PHOENIX, Arizona (AP)

Joe Arpaio, the Arizona lawman known for leading immigration crackdowns, jailing inmates in tents

and receiving a pardon from President Donald Trump, is running for his former job as the sheriff of metro Phoenix after getting trounced in 2016 by a little-known challenger.

Arpaio, who also was crushed in a 2018 bid for the U.S. Senate, said his comeback bid isn’t about clearing his name, avenging his last two election losses or garnering publicity for himself. He said he’s seeking a seventh term as sheriff because thousands of supporters have urged him to run again.

“One day, I have to retire,” the 87-year-old said. “I’m not ready yet.”

If he wins back his old job next year, Arpaio said he would resume immigration crackdowns, focus on drug enforcement and reopen the complex of jail tents that were closed by his successor, Sheriff Paul Penzone.

During his tenure as sheriff, he con-ducted dozens of immigration crackdowns over a nine-year period, retaliated against political enemies and failed to investigate more than 400 sex-crimes complaints made to his office.

After he was beaten by Penzone, Arpaio was convicted of contempt of court for disobeying a judge’s 2011 order in a racial profiling case to stop his traffic patrols that targeted immigrants.

He was spared a possible jail sentence when Trump pardoned his misdemeanor conviction, which wouldn’t have barred Arpaio from running for office again.

Penzone didn’t mention Arpaio in a statement that he issued Monday about the race. In the statement, Penzone said he has worked to bring professionalism and transparency to the office.

“The heightened level of profession-alism, emphasis on accountability, fiscal responsibility, reduction of lawsuits, and focus on public safety cannot be denied,” Penzone said.
