Compounding impacts of long droughts, flooding and hurricanes have negatively impacted food production in these places – communities have smaller yields now. Mangroves are exhausted and aren’t able to function properly in many areas – the livelihoods of the Providencia’s fishing community are also threatened. Neither fishing nor agriculture is providing as it used to before, forcing people to migrate

The #Trump admin is appealing a lower court decision to free #MohsenMahdawi, a permanent #legal resident & an organizer of the pro-Palestinian movement at #Columbia who had been detained at his court appointment for becoming a #US #citizen on April 14. After he was released from federal custody on Wed following the lower court order, Mahdawi offered a defiant message to Trump & his ofcls: “I am saying it clear & loud. I am not afraid of you.”

Jennifer Rubin & Lia Ernst: Lia Ernst on the release of #Columbia Student Mohsen Mahdawi

"On April 14, Columbia student Mohsen Mahdawi was arrested while attending his final citizenship interview at an immigration office in #Vermont. He was detained over his pro-Palestinian beliefs. Yesterday, a Vermont judge ruled that he must be released as his two-week detention demonstrated 'great harm'. "

As #CivilRights prosecutors conducted the investigation #EmilBove demanded, they pushed back against steps he wanted taken, arguing they were either not justified by available facts or contrary to #law, or both.
At one point,Bove instructed #FBI agents on the NY joint terrorism task force to put on their raid jackets, go to #Columbia & stand in a phalanx near #protesters. Within the civil rights division, the instruction was viewed as deeply improper & a blatant attempt to #intimidate #students.

#EmilBove, a snr #Trump #DOJ ofcl, ordered an immediate investigation, primarily of one particular #student group, #Columbia University Apartheid Divest…
Bove told prosecutors in the #CivilRights division to obtain a membership #list…. Investigators…pushed back on those instructions because they were skeptical such a list existed, given the amorphous nature of online forums, & even if it did, scrutinizing people for membership seemed like a violation of their #FirstAmendment rights.

The investigation began shortly after masked protesters barged into Milbank Hall, a building at the #Columbia-affiliated #Barnard College, on Feb 26 to demonstrate against the expulsion of #students who had been accused of disrupting a “History of Modern Israel” class. Video shows students pushing past a security guard & occupying a hallway. School ofcls said at the time that the guard was assaulted & taken to the hospital for minor injuries.

Those types of demands from political appointees at the #DOJ are part of the reason there has been an exodus of lawyers from the #CivilRights division in recent weeks, acc/to current & fmr ofcls.

The federal investigation into #student #protesters at #Columbia appears to have stalled for now, but it represents one of the most contentious episodes yet inside #Justice during #Trump’s 2nd term. The dispute has left lingering ill will within the dept, as well as the #courts & the #FBI….

#Columbia student #MohsenMahdawi is released from detention

Mohsen Mahdawi, a #ColumbiaUniversity student arrested & detained by masked #immigration agents after his naturalization interview in Vermont, has been #released from #detention while his case proceeds.

US District Judge Geoffrey Crawford said Wednesday that Mahdawi's detention for 2 weeks, "so far demonstrates great harm to a person who has been charged with no crime."

"We are witnessing the fight for justice in America, which means a true democracy, and the fight for justice for Palestinians, which means that both liberation are interconnected, because no one of us is free unless we all are. I am saying it clear and loud. To President Trump and his cabinet: I am not afraid of you."

No shit Sherlock.

Cutting federal #funding for #scientific #research could cause long-run #economic damage equivalent to a major #recession, acc/to a new study from American University.
In recent months, the #Trump admin has sought to cancel or freeze billions of dollars in #grants to scientists at #Columbia, #Harvard & other #universities, & has moved to sharply curtail funding for #academic #medical centers & other institutions.
