==Novel coronavirus infection - update

10 OCTOBER 2012==

No new cases of infection with the novel coronavirus have been reported since 22 September 2012. So far, after careful follow-up of close contacts of the two confirmed cases, and a heightened state of global surveillance , there is no evidence of human-to-human transmission of the virus.

The governments of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Kingdom, are continuing their work to gain a better understanding of the disease and the likely source of infection. WHO is supporting the national authorities in their ongoing investigation, and has deployed experts to Saudi Arabia and Qatar as part of an international team. These and future epidemiological and scientific studies will lead to a better understanding of the novel coronavirus.

WHO continues to work with the ministries of health and other international partners to coordinate actions for timely detection, rapid diagnosis and case management of infection caused by the novel coronavirus, should the need arise.

Based on this overall situation, WHO encourages Member States to continue with their routine surveillance to ensure early detection and rapid response to all potential public health threats. WHO will continue to coordinate routine surveillance efforts internationally.

This event was rapidly detected by the international public health community, and notified to WHO under the International Health Regulations (2005). It demonstrates the value of having the appropriate systems and processes in place for early detection, risk assessment and dissemination of information in order to implement appropriate response.

Mika Brzezinski on Chris Matthews Resignation: I Understand ‘Cancel Culture’ But Is There a ‘Better Way’?

On Tuesday, “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski reacted to her MSNBC colleague Chris Matthews’ abrupt retirement announcement from “Hardball” on-air Monday night, where he apologized for inappropriate comments he made in the past. She decried “cancel culture” while her co-host Joe Scarborough described Matthews as “a man without guile” who “didn’t measure his words.”

“You know what Chris believed and why he believed it,” Scarborough said in tribute to Matthews, who was identified Friday by reporter Laura Bassett as the once-unnamed “famous broadcast journalist” she had accused in a 2017 piece of making inappropriate comments to her when she was a guest on his show.

Scarborough called him “a beloved figure” and “all too human,” as Brzezinski moved on to criticize the “cancel culture” that she felt led to his departure from their network.

“It’s not even 12 hours after his resignation so I’m sort of still processing what has happened, reading a lot, but I’m sad,” she said. “Chris’ passion and joy was infectious as we’ve all said and it was backed up by a political gut that was unmatched in our world and you can’t imitate that. You can’t replace that. You can’t replace that and he shared that with us every night. As a woman I want to say this: I loved working with Chris Matthews. I really enjoyed being his colleague.”

She went on, “I understand the important changes around this so-called ‘cancel culture.’ They’re important. They’re hard. They’re painful. And in many cases, they are necessary. I do wonder, at this point, though, as we move forward and we look at this and what happened here, if there might be a better way for all of us in the future where we work through this and get to a better place.”

Immigration judge retires because Trump is turning courts into ‘politburo rubber stamp’

An immigration judge in Philadelphia has stepped down from the bench early citing pressure from the Trump administration, which he says is turning the Immigration Court into a “politburo rubber stamp”.

Speaking to the Philadephia Inquirer, Judge Charles Honeyman described how he left the bench earlier than he had planned after the government began taking a harder line on immigration and deportation cases.

“At some point I was just not comfortable,” he told the paper.

Judge Honeyman is now joining the immigration law firm of Solow, Isbell, & Palladino, which specialises in immigration cases. There, he will provide litigation advice to clients facing deportation.

Immigrants subject to removal cases often struggle to gain legal representation in the court system, with up to two thirds going into their cases without counsel — radically reducing their chances of remaining in the US.

The Immigration Court system sits outside the judiciary and is governed instead by the Justice Department’s Executive Office for Immigration Review. That means it is subject to direct political pressure from the administration, including instructions from the attorney general, whose interpretation of the law immigration judges are meant to follow.

At the moment, there is a backlog of one million cases awaiting processing. The Trump administration has put immigration judges under a 700 cases-per-year quota, but immigration rights groups have said the backlog is caused not by the workings of the courts but by the government’s increasingly harsh policies.

The Trump administration has lately announced even tougher measures to crack down on undocumented immigrants already living in the US, including deploying tactical ICE teams to so-called “sanctuary cities” that refuse to assist the authorities in immigration enforcement.

Philadelphia is one such city, and recently won a case against the Department of Justice after it threatened to withhold millions of dollars in federal funds for law enforcement unless the city complied with new enforcement requirements.

U.S. Supreme Court lets states prosecute immigrants for identity theft

WASHINGTON, March 3 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday widened the ability of states to use criminal laws against illegal immigrants and other people who do not have work authorization in the United States in a ruling involving identity theft prosecutions in Kansas.

In the decision, the justices upheld the authority of states to prosecute immigrants for identity theft when applying for a job. The court found that Kansas did not unlawfully encroach on federal authority over immigration policy in charging three men accused of using other people's Social Security numbers.

President Donald Trump's administration backed Kansas in the case. Trump has made his hardline policies toward immigration a centerpiece of his presidency and 2020 re-election campaign. Kansas is one of several conservative states that have sought to crack down on illegal immigrants.

The justices overturned a 2017 Kansas Supreme Court decision that had voided the convictions of the three restaurant workers, finding that a 1986 federal law called the Immigration Reform and Control Act did not prevent states from pursuing such prosecutions.

Though immigration-related employment fraud is a federal matter, Kansas contended that its prosecutions were not immigration-related and did not conflict with federal immigration law. Kansas had argued that a ruling in favor of the immigrants would undermine its ability to combat the growing problem of identity theft.

Immigrant rights groups have said that giving states power to prosecute employment fraud would let them take immigration policy into their own hands.

The three men - Ramiro Garcia, Donaldo Morales and Guadalupe Ochoa-Lara - were not authorized to work in the United States and provided their employers Social Security numbers that were not their own.

A Social Security number is used to identify people for employment and tax purposes. People who enter the country illegally do not get assigned Social Security numbers, which are given by the U.S. government to all legal residents.

The case focused on the employment verification process under federal immigration law requiring employers, on a form known as the I-9, to attest that an employee is authorized to work. The law also states that the form "may not be used for purposes other than for enforcement of this act."

While the federal government has the sole authority to prosecute individuals for providing fraudulent information during the I-9 employment verification process, the state prosecuted the three men for using the same false information on different forms used to withhold wages for tax purposes.
