The announcement comes after a federal judge's ruling last month that temporarily blocked the Trump administration's order to end DACA by early March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In January, U.S. District Judge William Alsup \u003ca href=\"https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4345906/1-9-18-DACA-Opinion.pdf\">ruled\u003c/a> that the administration must temporarily “maintain the DACA program on a nationwide basis” at least until lawsuits filed by California and other states play out in court. That means the so-called “Dreamers” in question could remain in legal limbo for months until the appeals court issues a ruling or Congress acts to make their status permanent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Introduced as an executive action by President Obama in June 2012, DACA was intended to give temporary protection against deportation to certain groups of young undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children. DACA recipients can also obtain work permits and driver's licenses, although the program offers no path to citizenship or permanent residency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2012, nearly 800,000 young people have received DACA status. Of that, about 700,000 are still part of the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics call the Trump administration’s actions unjust, arguing that most DACA recipients have lived most of their lives in the U.S. and were brought here through no fault of their own. But proponents of the recent decision argue that Obama's action was an abuse of executive power. Some also claim that at DACA recipients take jobs away from native-born Americans and drive up crime. This argument, however, has been generally refuted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scroll through this interactive timeline to see DACA's tumultuous path since it took effect five years ago.

The announcement comes after a federal judge's ruling last month that temporarily blocked the Trump administration's order to end DACA by early March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In January, U.S. District Judge William Alsup \u003ca href=\"https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4345906/1-9-18-DACA-Opinion.pdf\">ruled\u003c/a> that the administration must temporarily “maintain the DACA program on a nationwide basis” at least until lawsuits filed by California and other states play out in court. That means the so-called “Dreamers” in question could remain in legal limbo for months until the appeals court issues a ruling or Congress acts to make their status permanent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Introduced as an executive action by President Obama in June 2012, DACA was intended to give temporary protection against deportation to certain groups of young undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children. DACA recipients can also obtain work permits and driver's licenses, although the program offers no path to citizenship or permanent residency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2012, nearly 800,000 young people have received DACA status. Of that, about 700,000 are still part of the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics call the Trump administration’s actions unjust, arguing that most DACA recipients have lived most of their lives in the U.S. and were brought here through no fault of their own. But proponents of the recent decision argue that Obama's action was an abuse of executive power. Some also claim that at DACA recipients take jobs away from native-born Americans and drive up crime. This argument, however, has been generally refuted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scroll through this interactive timeline to see DACA's tumultuous path since it took effect five years ago.

Two years later, in March 2003, the United States invaded Iraq and deposed President Saddam Hussein. Although not directly linked to the terrorist attacks, Hussein was suspected of producing weapons of mass destruction (none were ever found). The invasion was a key part of America’s newly launched War on Terror, under the leadership of President George W. Bush.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our military involvement in Afghanistan — which just ended calamitously last year, with the Taliban reclaiming control of the country — was the longest war in American history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS0qENVESv0\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In December 2011, remaining U.S. troops were pulled out of \u003ca href=\"http://www.cfr.org/iraq/timeline-iraq-war/p18876\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Iraq\u003c/a>, leaving that nation in a far more volatile state than when military operations first began in 2003. But the U.S. soon after resumed intermittent air strikes following the emergence of the Islamic State extremist group, which sprouted from the chaos of war and terrorized the region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2002, the Bush Administration also opened the Guantanamo Bay detention center in Cuba, where it began sending suspected enemy combatants. Held indefinitely, prisoners were denied access to trials or legal representation, and were subject to brutal interrogation techniques. There were more than 650 foreign inmates at the facility by 2003.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics have long pushed to shut down the Guantanamo facility, calling it a gross violation of basic human rights and a stain on America’s image abroad.

While that number dropped slightly in 2002, it began to steadily climb the following year. In the first two years of the Obama Administration (2009 – 2010), deportations hit a record high: nearly 400,000 annually. About half of those deported during that period were convicted of a criminal offense, although mostly low-level, non-violent crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.ice.gov/secure_communities/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Secure Communities\u003c/a> program, established in 2008 and officially phased out in 2014, allowed local law enforcement to check the immigration status of every person booked in a county or local jail — even if not ultimately convicted of a crime — by comparing fingerprints against federal immigration records. The program resulted in numerous instances of undocumented immigrants entering deportation proceedings after being stopped for minor infractions (like not using a turn signal while driving).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By 2014, when Obama announced plans to phase out the program, ICE had established Secure Communities partnerships with every single\u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/doclib/secure-communities/pdf/sc-activated.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> law enforcement jurisdiction \u003c/a>in the nation (all 3,181 of them).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>California impact\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2009, Jerry Brown — then California’s Attorney General — agreed to implement the Secure Communities. As of 2012, ICE reported it had taken nearly 48,000 “convicted criminal aliens” in California into custody. Almost half of them were deported, even though less than a quarter had been convicted of offenses considered “serious or violent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is the primary destination for foreign nationals entering the country, and home to a quarter of America’s immigrant population. Of the nearly 10 million immigrants (both naturalized and undocumented) residing in the state, an estimated 4.3 million are Mexican, 28% of whom are naturalized, according to the \u003ca title=\"Multimedia Resource Roundup\" href=\"http://www.ppic.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Public Policy Institute of California\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>http://www.youtube.com/embed/XrKd_2MoKpE\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>III.

It’s all par for the course when you fly these days.

Heck, prior to 9/11, some airport security teams even allowed passengers to take box cutters aboard (the supposed weapon used by the 9/11 hijackers). Any knife with a blade up to four inches long was permitted. And cigarette lighters?

Two years later, in March 2003, the United States invaded Iraq and deposed President Saddam Hussein. Although not directly linked to the terrorist attacks, Hussein was suspected of producing weapons of mass destruction (none were ever found). The invasion was a key part of America’s newly launched War on Terror, under the leadership of President George W.

But the U.S. soon after resumed intermittent air strikes following the emergence of the Islamic State extremist group, which sprouted from the chaos of war and terrorized the region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2002, the Bush Administration also opened the Guantanamo Bay detention center in Cuba, where it began sending suspected enemy combatants. Held indefinitely, prisoners were denied access to trials or legal representation, and were subject to brutal interrogation techniques. There were more than 650 foreign inmates at the facility by 2003.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics have long pushed to shut down the Guantanamo facility, calling it a gross violation of basic human rights and a stain on America’s image abroad.

Of the thousands of species buzzing around, some are much deadlier than others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the last couple of years, the mosquito species Aedes aegypti has garnered perhaps the most attention, at least in parts of the U.S. where it resides. It's the one that can transmit a generous selection of very nasty diseases including Zika, yellow fever, dengue and chikungunya.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Aedes, though, is hardly the deadliest of the pack. That title goes to the Anopheles, a mosquito species endemic to many tropical regions of the world that can transmit a parasitic infection that causes malaria.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Malaria is responsible for more than half of all mosquito-related deaths, and remains one of the most pressing health issues in much of the developing world. There were an estimated 214 million cases in 2015, resulting in more than 430,000 deaths, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa, where the disease is still the biggest killer of children under five, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs094/en/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">World Health Organization\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As grim as that sounds, the number of fatalities worldwide has actually fallen sharply in recent decades, dropping by more than 60 percent since 2000 (translating to nearly 7 million lives saved). And Gates, a major funder of malaria prevention efforts, believes it can be \u003ca href=\"https://www.gatesnotes.com/Health/Eradicating-Malaria-in-a-Generation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">eradicated worldwide\u003c/a> by mid-century.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recent history supports this conviction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>100 years ago, malaria existed just about everywhere in the world. By mid-century, though, most industrialized nations, had wiped it out almost entirely, the result of well-funded eradication campaigns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, malaria is generally considered a disease confined to poor, tropical regions of the world. But that's not an inevitability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although harder to eradicate in tropical climates that are particularly good for mosquito breeding, the disease is entirely preventable if attacked with the appropriate resources. In fact, it's a region's wealth rather than it's physical environment that plays the largest role in determining the fate of the disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_27390\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-27390 size-large\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/wp-content/uploads/sites/26/2017/06/malariamap-1020x587.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"368\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2017/06/malariamap-1020x587.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2017/06/malariamap-160x92.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2017/06/malariamap-800x460.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2017/06/malariamap-768x442.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2017/06/malariamap-1180x679.png 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2017/06/malariamap-960x552.png 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2017/06/malariamap-240x138.png 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2017/06/malariamap-375x216.png 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2017/06/malariamap-520x299.png 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2017/06/malariamap.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">World Malaria Report\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Malaria, for instance, was long a serious public health issue in the United States, particularly in warm, swampy southern regions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was founded during World War II as the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/malaria/about/history/elimination_us.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Office of Malaria Control in War Areas\u003c/a>. The agency was charged with preventing troops stationed abroad from contracting malaria. It also waged a concerted domestic effort to eradicate it in the South (which is why the CDC is based in Atlanta).

The agency also conducted large-scale drainage projects to remove mosquito breeding sites, provided training to local health agencies and even ran publicity campaigns against the mosquitoes, including the cartoon below.

Of the thousands of species buzzing around, some are much deadlier than others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the last couple of years, the mosquito species Aedes aegypti has garnered perhaps the most attention, at least in parts of the U.S. where it resides. It's the one that can transmit a generous selection of very nasty diseases including Zika, yellow fever, dengue and chikungunya.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Aedes, though, is hardly the deadliest of the pack. That title goes to the Anopheles, a mosquito species endemic to many tropical regions of the world that can transmit a parasitic infection that causes malaria.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Malaria is responsible for more than half of all mosquito-related deaths, and remains one of the most pressing health issues in much of the developing world. There were an estimated 214 million cases in 2015, resulting in more than 430,000 deaths, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa, where the disease is still the biggest killer of children under five, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs094/en/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">World Health Organization\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As grim as that sounds, the number of fatalities worldwide has actually fallen sharply in recent decades, dropping by more than 60 percent since 2000 (translating to nearly 7 million lives saved). And Gates, a major funder of malaria prevention efforts, believes it can be \u003ca href=\"https://www.gatesnotes.com/Health/Eradicating-Malaria-in-a-Generation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">eradicated worldwide\u003c/a> by mid-century.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recent history supports this conviction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>100 years ago, malaria existed just about everywhere in the world. By mid-century, though, most industrialized nations, had wiped it out almost entirely, the result of well-funded eradication campaigns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, malaria is generally considered a disease confined to poor, tropical regions of the world. But that's not an inevitability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although harder to eradicate in tropical climates that are particularly good for mosquito breeding, the disease is entirely preventable if attacked with the appropriate resources. In fact, it's a region's wealth rather than it's physical environment that plays the largest role in determining the fate of the disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_27390\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-27390 size-large\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/wp-content/uploads/sites/26/2017/06/malariamap-1020x587.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"368\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2017/06/malariamap-1020x587.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2017/06/malariamap-160x92.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2017/06/malariamap-800x460.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2017/06/malariamap-768x442.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2017/06/malariamap-1180x679.png 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2017/06/malariamap-960x552.png 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2017/06/malariamap-240x138.png 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2017/06/malariamap-375x216.png 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2017/06/malariamap-520x299.png 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2017/06/malariamap.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">World Malaria Report\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Malaria, for instance, was long a serious public health issue in the United States, particularly in warm, swampy southern regions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was founded during World War II as the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/malaria/about/history/elimination_us.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Office of Malaria Control in War Areas\u003c/a>.

The agency also conducted large-scale drainage projects to remove mosquito breeding sites, provided training to local health agencies and even ran publicity campaigns against the mosquitoes, including the cartoon below.

That's when recently ousted FBI director James Comey \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/06/08/531643678/comey-accuses-white-house-of-lies-plain-and-simple-about-his-firing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">testified\u003c/a> before the Senate Intelligence Committee. He pulled no punches, seizing the opportunity to air a formidable list of grievances against President Trump and his administration, and raising the possibility that the president's actions constituted obstruction of justice. Comey spoke as a private citizen just a month after Trump abruptly fired him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv>\u003ciframe src=\"https://cdn.knightlab.com/libs/timeline3/latest/embed/index.html?source=1cwdYpTCSz1WLQ0sTJ1nqEu2fxmyzgSu8dvW7xpMjp_s&font=Default&lang=en&initial_zoom=2&height=650\" width=\"1100\" height=\"700\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">A quick glossary of juicy legal jargon\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Obstruction of justice\u003c/strong>: The act of interfering with a federal investigation by attempting to corruptly influence the process. A non-violent obstruction can result \u003ca href=\"https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1503\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> in a prison sentence \u003c/a>of up to 10 years. Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon were both accused of obstruction of justice, but never prosecuted (it's actually up for debate whether a sitting president can be criminally prosecuted at all).\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Collusion\u003c/strong>: A secret agreement or act of cooperation between two or more parties, often for an illegal or deceitful purpose. There's no official legal definition and it's not a crime in and of itself, although it is often linked to criminal actions.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Person of interest\u003c/strong>: A term used by law enforcement for someone potentially involved in a criminal investigation who, unlike a \"target,\" has not been arrested or formally accused of a crime.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Back channel\u003c/strong>: A secret, unofficial and often unauthorized means of communication.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>Even before it officially began, Trump's short presidency has been clouded by an ongoing FBI investigation into Russian influence in the 2016 election, and possible collusion between Trump's campaign and Russian officials. The plot only thickened following revelations that Comey was fired just days after he had reportedly requested more resources to extend the Russia investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey was appointed by President Obama in 2013 to serve a 10-year term. His removal is only the second time a sitting president has ever fired an FBI chief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey's firing immediately \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/08MwS3qEu6w\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">drew comparisons\u003c/a> to a notorious incident in October 1973, when embattled President Richard Nixon ordered the firing of the special prosecutor investigating the Watergate scandal.
