Joseph)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Though Common’s music has long carried political messages, his spokesman Michael Latt said policy advocacy is new. Common’s visits to state prisons this year -- where he performed for inmates and held conversations to learn more about their experiences -- are one piece of his effort to try to curb cycles of violence and incarceration, especially in the black community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The advocacy grew out of Common’s work on the soundtrack to the 2014 film “Selma,” which tells the story of civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. and the march he led to secure African-Americans the right to vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It really pushed me to a new level in wanting to do more,” Common said last year in a televised \u003ca href=\"http://www.cc.com/video-clips/kz9yjm/the-daily-show-with-trevor-noah-exclusive---common-extended-interview\">interview\u003c/a> with Trevor Noah of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, in which he described King as one of his heroes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to do that work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Common has long been known for songs that largely eschew the violence and misogyny of gangster rap in favor of messages with positive social messages. But his lyrics have not been controversy-free: Two years ago, a New Jersey college \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2015/04/01/common-gets-disinvited-from-new-jersey-universitys-commencement/?utm_term=.645862ede81e\">rescinded an invitation\u003c/a> for Common to speak at graduation after the state troopers’ association complained about an early song in which he praised a member of the revolutionary Black Panthers group who was convicted of killing a New Jersey state trooper. In 2011, President Barack Obama faced criticism for the same reason when he invited Common to perform at the White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Sacramento, Common will be lobbying for two juvenile justice bills. \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB394\">Senate Bill 394\u003c/a> would give juvenile offenders a shot at parole after 25 years in prison, even if they were sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB395\">Senate Bill 395\u003c/a> would require that juveniles consult with an attorney before waiving their Miranda rights and answering questions from authorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblyman Jim Cooper, who spent 30 years in law enforcement before politics, said he’s not convinced the bill makes sense. Investigators want to interview suspects as soon as possible, he said, while the details of a crime are still fresh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To actually have an attorney there takes time,” said Cooper, a Democrat from Elk Grove.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He emphasized that he doesn’t yet have a formal position on the bill, and said he’s planning to meet with Common next week to hear him out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/LorenaSGonzalez/status/866166798621605888\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Common joins a long list of celebrities that pop into the Capitol to pose for photos and try to sway decisions. Earlier this year, actress \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article126540799.html\">Lena Dunham advocated\u003c/a> for Planned Parenthood and reality TV star Dog the Bounty Hunter \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article145294029.html\">testified against\u003c/a> a bill to change the bail system. In 2013, Jennifer Garner and Halle Berry \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/2013/aug/14/local/la-me-ln-halle-berry-jennifer-garner-paparazzi-bill-20130814\">lobbied for a bill\u003c/a> intended to protect children from paparazzi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Obviously he’s not the first celebrity that’s been to Sacramento lobbying on an issue,” said Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher, who was among the group of progressive Democrats who met with Common in May. “They can play an important role highlighting an issue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://calmatters.org\">\u003cem>CALmatters.org\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Jerry Brown’s top aide and a Grammy-award winning rapper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was one stop in a larger effort that has recently brought Common -- a musician who blends hip-hop with an activist message -- close to key California decision-makers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After an artistic career that propelled him from the south side of Chicago to poetry nights in the Obama White House, the 45-year-old rapper is now working to influence state policy. A resident of Los Angeles, Common is trying to change the criminal justice system in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to the meeting with Brown \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/NancyEMcFadden/status/853332511136464896\">aide Nancy McFadden\u003c/a> at the Southern California prison in March, Common \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/LorenaSGonzalez/status/866166798621605888\">met with Democratic lawmakers\u003c/a> at the Capitol in May to talk about bills that would change California’s \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/fix-unfair-bail-system-will-california-copy-kentucky/\">bail system\u003c/a> and juvenile justice procedures.

Joseph)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Though Common’s music has long carried political messages, his spokesman Michael Latt said policy advocacy is new. Common’s visits to state prisons this year -- where he performed for inmates and held conversations to learn more about their experiences -- are one piece of his effort to try to curb cycles of violence and incarceration, especially in the black community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The advocacy grew out of Common’s work on the soundtrack to the 2014 film “Selma,” which tells the story of civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. and the march he led to secure African-Americans the right to vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It really pushed me to a new level in wanting to do more,” Common said last year in a televised \u003ca href=\"http://www.cc.com/video-clips/kz9yjm/the-daily-show-with-trevor-noah-exclusive---common-extended-interview\">interview\u003c/a> with Trevor Noah of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, in which he described King as one of his heroes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to do that work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Common has long been known for songs that largely eschew the violence and misogyny of gangster rap in favor of messages with positive social messages. But his lyrics have not been controversy-free: Two years ago, a New Jersey college \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2015/04/01/common-gets-disinvited-from-new-jersey-universitys-commencement/?utm_term=.645862ede81e\">rescinded an invitation\u003c/a> for Common to speak at graduation after the state troopers’ association complained about an early song in which he praised a member of the revolutionary Black Panthers group who was convicted of killing a New Jersey state trooper. In 2011, President Barack Obama faced criticism for the same reason when he invited Common to perform at the White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Sacramento, Common will be lobbying for two juvenile justice bills. \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB394\">Senate Bill 394\u003c/a> would give juvenile offenders a shot at parole after 25 years in prison, even if they were sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB395\">Senate Bill 395\u003c/a> would require that juveniles consult with an attorney before waiving their Miranda rights and answering questions from authorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblyman Jim Cooper, who spent 30 years in law enforcement before politics, said he’s not convinced the bill makes sense. Investigators want to interview suspects as soon as possible, he said, while the details of a crime are still fresh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To actually have an attorney there takes time,” said Cooper, a Democrat from Elk Grove.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He emphasized that he doesn’t yet have a formal position on the bill, and said he’s planning to meet with Common next week to hear him out.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The First Amendment should never be used as a shield or sword to justify violence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ACLU of California is reviewing requests for help \"on a case-by-case basis, but take the clear position that the First Amendment does not protect people who incite or engage in violence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Park Service directs \"anyone interested in expressing their opinion\" to send an email to goga_1st_amendment@nps.gov.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original Post, Tuesday, Aug. 14:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco city officials are united in their opposition to a right-wing rally planned on federal land near the Golden Gate Bridge later this month, and they're hurling criticism at the National Park Service for reportedly issuing a permit to the event's organizers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Portland-based \"Patriot Prayer,\" which is promoting an Aug. 26 \"Freedom Rally\" at Crissy Field, says it's not a white supremacist or white nationalist organization. But the group has often rallied with militias and unequivocal white nationalists at other events around the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are not welcoming this group into San Francisco to promote hate,\" Mayor Ed Lee said at a press conference Tuesday announcing the city's opposition to the rally. \"We think that the National Park Service, without adequate evaluation and conditions, would do just that and would then, I think, increase opportunities for violence in our city and on the shores of federal property.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"tgwmLulwRHhr0RpqET0cxfNvAXvKi3pG\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and San Francisco representatives in the state Legislature on Tuesday also announced their opposition to the rally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Park Service, which oversees the Golden Gate National Recreation Area that includes Crissy Field, did not respond to request for comment. It's unclear whether the service was aware of a letter Lee and other city leaders sent Tuesday afternoon that says San Francisco officials are \"outraged with the Golden Gate National Recreation Area's (GGNRA) decision to grant an event permit to Patriot Prayer on August 26 without proper planning and resources, given the public safety concerns.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"To say that we are outraged is an understatement,\" Board of Supervisors President London Breed said. \"We will do everything that we can to stop you from being in San Francisco. We don’t want to see our city torn apart because of the hate and the violence that you continue to promote all over the country.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the strong rhetoric, opponents of the rally are likely on shaky legal ground, according to Eugene Volokh, a UCLA law professor specializing in First Amendment issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In places presumed to be public forums, like the park where Patriot Prayer plans to rally, the government can impose only \"content-neutral restrictions, such as requiring some notice in advance so they can provide adequate protection,\" Volokh said in an interview. \"But those have to be content neutral. You can’t have one rule for Black Lives Matter protesters, one rule for animal rights protesters and another rule for white supremacist protesters.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"2wWu878Ku3oaTwkrBiq1wCL4KVswInQF\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But though they're stopping short of a legal threat at this point, San Francisco officials opposed to the rally are using the language of a legal argument. They're saying Patriot Prayer and affiliated groups are likely to \u003cem>incite\u003c/em> violence -- and incitement is a well-established legal exception to the First Amendment's guarantee of free speech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are a city of tolerance. We do enjoy free speech, but I suggest to you there is a difference between free speech and hate speech with the intent of causing violence,\" Lee said. \"People are coming here to commit violence, not to have an academic dialogue, not to have a fire[side] chat on differences of opinion. They’re coming here to promote violence. They’re aiming their guns at our people, and we’re going to stop them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Law professor Volokh said it would likely be more difficult for the National Park Service to revoke a permit, rather than reject or impose conditions before it was issued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Generally speaking, once the government issues a permit and then cancels it, there’s a pretty strong inference that it’s canceling it because of the viewpoint of the speakers,\" he said. \"That is unconstitutional.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Police Chief William Scott said he is trying to coordinate a law enforcement response with the National Park Service. He said SFPD is unlikely to set up a perimeter and allow far-right and far-left protesters to brawl -- an approach taken in other cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our message is clear: Violence will not be tolerated in any form,\" Scott said. But he acknowledged that SFPD won't be able to do anything about the event at Crissy Field unless the National Park Service asks the department for help -- a process called \"mutual aid.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This permit has been granted without the necessary contingencies to protect the safety of the public and with the expectation that the City and County of San Francisco will expend our resources to diffuse the situation,\" the city's letter to the National Park Service says. \"Furthermore, the permit was granted without adequate time to prepare the multi-agency response that will be required.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee used another legalism in describing the threat of the protest -- this one from a 1919 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that helped to define when free speech edges too close to triggering harm and loses its protection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We believe that without these conditions it’ll be like yelling fire in a crowded theater, that people will be placed in danger, and we don’t want that to happen in our city,\" Lee said. \"Unless they [the National Park Service] are totally ignorant of the kinds of things that have happened recently across the country, and particularly in Charlottesville, then they’re playing with fire.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Vinnee Tong and Tara Siler of KQED News contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The First Amendment should never be used as a shield or sword to justify violence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ACLU of California is reviewing requests for help \"on a case-by-case basis, but take the clear position that the First Amendment does not protect people who incite or engage in violence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Park Service directs \"anyone interested in expressing their opinion\" to send an email to goga_1st_amendment@nps.gov.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original Post, Tuesday, Aug. 14:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco city officials are united in their opposition to a right-wing rally planned on federal land near the Golden Gate Bridge later this month, and they're hurling criticism at the National Park Service for reportedly issuing a permit to the event's organizers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Portland-based \"Patriot Prayer,\" which is promoting an Aug. 26 \"Freedom Rally\" at Crissy Field, says it's not a white supremacist or white nationalist organization. But the group has often rallied with militias and unequivocal white nationalists at other events around the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are not welcoming this group into San Francisco to promote hate,\" Mayor Ed Lee said at a press conference Tuesday announcing the city's opposition to the rally. \"We think that the National Park Service, without adequate evaluation and conditions, would do just that and would then, I think, increase opportunities for violence in our city and on the shores of federal property.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and San Francisco representatives in the state Legislature on Tuesday also announced their opposition to the rally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Park Service, which oversees the Golden Gate National Recreation Area that includes Crissy Field, did not respond to request for comment. It's unclear whether the service was aware of a letter Lee and other city leaders sent Tuesday afternoon that says San Francisco officials are \"outraged with the Golden Gate National Recreation Area's (GGNRA) decision to grant an event permit to Patriot Prayer on August 26 without proper planning and resources, given the public safety concerns.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"To say that we are outraged is an understatement,\" Board of Supervisors President London Breed said. \"We will do everything that we can to stop you from being in San Francisco. We don’t want to see our city torn apart because of the hate and the violence that you continue to promote all over the country.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the strong rhetoric, opponents of the rally are likely on shaky legal ground, according to Eugene Volokh, a UCLA law professor specializing in First Amendment issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In places presumed to be public forums, like the park where Patriot Prayer plans to rally, the government can impose only \"content-neutral restrictions, such as requiring some notice in advance so they can provide adequate protection,\" Volokh said in an interview. \"But those have to be content neutral. You can’t have one rule for Black Lives Matter protesters, one rule for animal rights protesters and another rule for white supremacist protesters.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But though they're stopping short of a legal threat at this point, San Francisco officials opposed to the rally are using the language of a legal argument. They're saying Patriot Prayer and affiliated groups are likely to \u003cem>incite\u003c/em> violence -- and incitement is a well-established legal exception to the First Amendment's guarantee of free speech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are a city of tolerance. We do enjoy free speech, but I suggest to you there is a difference between free speech and hate speech with the intent of causing violence,\" Lee said. \"People are coming here to commit violence, not to have an academic dialogue, not to have a fire[side] chat on differences of opinion. They’re coming here to promote violence. They’re aiming their guns at our people, and we’re going to stop them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Law professor Volokh said it would likely be more difficult for the National Park Service to revoke a permit, rather than reject or impose conditions before it was issued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Generally speaking, once the government issues a permit and then cancels it, there’s a pretty strong inference that it’s canceling it because of the viewpoint of the speakers,\" he said. \"That is unconstitutional.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Police Chief William Scott said he is trying to coordinate a law enforcement response with the National Park Service. He said SFPD is unlikely to set up a perimeter and allow far-right and far-left protesters to brawl -- an approach taken in other cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our message is clear: Violence will not be tolerated in any form,\" Scott said. But he acknowledged that SFPD won't be able to do anything about the event at Crissy Field unless the National Park Service asks the department for help -- a process called \"mutual aid.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This permit has been granted without the necessary contingencies to protect the safety of the public and with the expectation that the City and County of San Francisco will expend our resources to diffuse the situation,\" the city's letter to the National Park Service says. \"Furthermore, the permit was granted without adequate time to prepare the multi-agency response that will be required.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee used another legalism in describing the threat of the protest -- this one from a 1919 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that helped to define when free speech edges too close to triggering harm and loses its protection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We believe that without these conditions it’ll be like yelling fire in a crowded theater, that people will be placed in danger, and we don’t want that to happen in our city,\" Lee said. \"Unless they [the National Park Service] are totally ignorant of the kinds of things that have happened recently across the country, and particularly in Charlottesville, then they’re playing with fire.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

If someone is caught in a melee, well look … all rules are off.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Criminal justice experts say police have little choice but to let these fights happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes intervention by police will result in everyone attacking the police,” said CSU San Bernardino professor Brian Levin. “If there’s one thing that can unify rival protesters, it’s the presence of the police. They’re making a tactical judgment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levin has studied violence on the extremes for more than two decades. He said these so-called free speech rallies have “really become roving street fights” that are growing in size.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the last couple years, we’ve seen mega-rallies,” Levin said. “The number of people has gone up exponentially. There have been 24 violent political rallies in California since December 2015. We’re going to see more of this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for police consulting with right-wing militias and white supremacists, Levin said, “the optics are horrible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But they’re not as horrible as someone getting shot to death,” he continued. “Sometimes, all you have is a bunch of lousy options. What police will generally try to do is keep thoroughfares and roads open, and do the best they can to protect the general public.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, white nationalists like Identity Evropa’s Nathan Damigo use the space that is void of police to fight — for the moment, and for future recruits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damigo told KQED that even the video from Charlottesville showing a driver running over a crowd of counterprotesters — in which a woman was killed and many others injured — will help his cause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every time there is a major incident like this, people will look to the media,” Damigo said. “And then a handful of them will go online and see what they weren’t being told by the media. And they’ll say, ‘Wait a minute, why is the media trying to manipulate my perception on this?’ And they realize they’re being lied to.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

He noted it’s common for police to coordinate with event leaders, regardless of politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As with any event, our police reach out to people who are identified as organizers,” Arreguin said. “Often times, most groups do cooperate with the police department and events go smoothly. These groups had no intention to cooperate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The paramilitary protesters often dress like armed officers and many of them are veterans of the military, so the line between cooperation and coordination can seem to blur. For example, in Portland, \u003ca href=\"http://www.opb.org/news/article/portland-police-chief-citizen-assisted-arrests/\">right-wing militia members aided U.S. Homeland Security officers\u003c/a> in arresting leftist protesters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Charlottesville, the white supremacists who helped organize the march said they were in constant contact with police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had been coordinating with police for two months, including the day of,” Eli Mosley of the California-based white nationalist group Identity Evropa told KQED. “They had my phone number and I had theirs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11612257\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11612257 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26231_20170815_PoliceExport_Credit_BertJohnson-1-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26231_20170815_PoliceExport_Credit_BertJohnson-1-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26231_20170815_PoliceExport_Credit_BertJohnson-1-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26231_20170815_PoliceExport_Credit_BertJohnson-1-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26231_20170815_PoliceExport_Credit_BertJohnson-1-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26231_20170815_PoliceExport_Credit_BertJohnson-1-qut-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26231_20170815_PoliceExport_Credit_BertJohnson-1-qut-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26231_20170815_PoliceExport_Credit_BertJohnson-1-qut-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26231_20170815_PoliceExport_Credit_BertJohnson-1-qut-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26231_20170815_PoliceExport_Credit_BertJohnson-1-qut-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A UC Berkeley police officer watches as a large and sometimes violent crowd protests against the scheduled appearance of Milo Yiannopoulos on campus on Feb. 1, 2017. \u003ccite>(Bert Johnson/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>These interactions come just as the Trump administration \u003ca href=\"http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/346552-trump-cut-funds-to-fight-anti-right-wing-violence\">halts federal funds for\u003c/a> investigating far-right organizations.

If someone is caught in a melee, well look … all rules are off.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Criminal justice experts say police have little choice but to let these fights happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes intervention by police will result in everyone attacking the police,” said CSU San Bernardino professor Brian Levin. “If there’s one thing that can unify rival protesters, it’s the presence of the police. They’re making a tactical judgment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levin has studied violence on the extremes for more than two decades. He said these so-called free speech rallies have “really become roving street fights” that are growing in size.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the last couple years, we’ve seen mega-rallies,” Levin said. “The number of people has gone up exponentially. There have been 24 violent political rallies in California since December 2015. We’re going to see more of this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for police consulting with right-wing militias and white supremacists, Levin said, “the optics are horrible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But they’re not as horrible as someone getting shot to death,” he continued. “Sometimes, all you have is a bunch of lousy options. What police will generally try to do is keep thoroughfares and roads open, and do the best they can to protect the general public.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, white nationalists like Identity Evropa’s Nathan Damigo use the space that is void of police to fight — for the moment, and for future recruits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damigo told KQED that even the video from Charlottesville showing a driver running over a crowd of counterprotesters — in which a woman was killed and many others injured — will help his cause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every time there is a major incident like this, people will look to the media,” Damigo said. “And then a handful of them will go online and see what they weren’t being told by the media. And they’ll say, ‘Wait a minute, why is the media trying to manipulate my perception on this?’ And they realize they’re being lied to.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

In essence, the Search Warrant not only aims to identify the political dissidents of the current administration, but attempts to identify and understand what content each of these dissidents viewed on the website. The Search Warrant also includes a demand that DreamHost disclose the content of all e-mail inquiries and comments submitted from numerous private e-mail accounts and prompted by the website, all through a single sweeping warrant.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Justice Department told NPR that it won't comment on the case aside from the court filings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Is the government really asking for all those visitor logs?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yes, they definitely are,\" says Electronic Frontier Foundation senior staff attorney \u003ca href=\"https://www.eff.org/about/staff/mark-rumold\">Mark Rumold\u003c/a>. EFF advocates for internet privacy and free speech, and has advised DreamHost in its case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rumold tells NPR that when DreamHost first approached EFF about responding to the warrant, he guessed \"that DOJ would realize how broad the warrant was, and say, oh you know, in fact we're not actually looking for IP logs for everyone who's ever visited the site\" and would narrow its request accordingly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But instead, the government insisted on DreamHost's compliance with the warrant as written.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It always raises red flags when the government is trying to pry into the organization or the association of its political opponents,\" Rumold says. \"That said, the DOJ has apparently demonstrated to a judge that there is probable cause to believe that something on this site is evidence of a crime.\" But, he says, the logs of everyone who ever visited the site, along with when and where they viewed it — \"there's no way that that's all evidence of a crime.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's always troubling when the government seizes far more information than it could ever use,\" he says. \"That's just generally a problem regardless of the investigation. I think what's particularly unique about this case is that the crime and the topic that is being investigated is a group of people who are politically opposed to the president.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For administrators of websites that involve political dissent or discussion, Rumold says best practices would dictate not keeping logs of visitor data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Legba Carrefour, who was one of the organizers for DisruptJ20, says the site's administrators \u003cem>didn't\u003c/em> keep this data for DisruptJ20.org, but DreamHost did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We would not keep records on who visits our website,\" Carrefour told NPR. \"We don't want to know, and we don't care. But also I'm sure like half of those are probably cops\" checking to see what the group had planned for the inauguration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carrefour said DisruptJ20 used what is called \"the open organizing model\": Instead of making plans in secret, they posted everything they intended to do right on their website. They held biweekly meetings to audiences of 200 or 300 people at a time, in places like church basements, which he assumes police attended. \"We feel like open organizing is a better way to recruit people and also sort of a more honest, forthright, and successful way of organizing mass mobilizations.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carrefour said he was \"surprised and impressed\" that DreamHost is \"going to the lengths they are to resist\" the government's request.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DreamHost says its stance isn't a political one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This has become a political issue for many — but our interest in this case truly isn't that specific,\" DreamHost spokesman Brett Dunst wrote in an email to NPR. \"We're completely content-agnostic in this. For DreamHost, this is simply an over-broad request for records, and we feel obligated to contest it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said DreamHost keeps server logs in order to manage the sites of its 400,000-plus customers and identify issues like Distributed Denial of Service attacks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We only retain those logs for a very brief time,\" Dunst wrote. \"The DOJ served us with a preservation notice immediately after the inauguration, which is why we still have access to that data in this case.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Justice Department's demand for the logs has troubling implications, says Georgetown University law professor \u003ca href=\"https://www.law.georgetown.edu/faculty/ohm-paul.cfm\">Paul Ohm\u003c/a>, who formerly worked as an attorney in the Department of Justice's Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's disturbing to me,\" Ohm tells NPR, \"that with a single warrant, signed by a single judge — especially given the speech implications of this particular website — it's disturbing to me that that could be the single key that unlocks the political and speech habits of I-don't-know-how-many-people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He estimated that 1.3 million visitor logs could represent thousands of people, or hundreds of thousands. And he said that the framers of the U.S. Constitution specifically wanted to avoid practices like British general warrants, which gave sweeping access to search any location with a single piece of paper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This smells like a general warrant,\" says Ohm. \"I think the framers would recognize a single request to get the reading habits of tens of thousands of people to essentially be the closest thing we have in modern times to a general warrant.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ohm says courts have often considered how rights against illegal search and seizure begin to overlap with free speech rights — and \"this case is tailor-made to sit at that intersection.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This site is about speech. It's about listening, which is also kind of a First Amendment right,\" he says. \"It's about assembly. It's about petitioning the government. And so I think it's not going to be hard for the lawyers in this case to say this isn't just about policing and the limits of policing. This is about disruption of speech. And so for all those reasons, it really raises the stakes on this particular litigation and it means it's going to get a close look from the courts.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

The Search Warrant also includes a demand that DreamHost disclose the content of all e-mail inquiries and comments submitted from numerous private e-mail accounts and prompted by the website, all through a single sweeping warrant.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Justice Department told NPR that it won't comment on the case aside from the court filings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Is the government really asking for all those visitor logs?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yes, they definitely are,\" says Electronic Frontier Foundation senior staff attorney \u003ca href=\"https://www.eff.org/about/staff/mark-rumold\">Mark Rumold\u003c/a>. EFF advocates for internet privacy and free speech, and has advised DreamHost in its case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rumold tells NPR that when DreamHost first approached EFF about responding to the warrant, he guessed \"that DOJ would realize how broad the warrant was, and say, oh you know, in fact we're not actually looking for IP logs for everyone who's ever visited the site\" and would narrow its request accordingly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But instead, the government insisted on DreamHost's compliance with the warrant as written.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It always raises red flags when the government is trying to pry into the organization or the association of its political opponents,\" Rumold says. \"That said, the DOJ has apparently demonstrated to a judge that there is probable cause to believe that something on this site is evidence of a crime.\" But, he says, the logs of everyone who ever visited the site, along with when and where they viewed it — \"there's no way that that's all evidence of a crime.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's always troubling when the government seizes far more information than it could ever use,\" he says. \"That's just generally a problem regardless of the investigation. I think what's particularly unique about this case is that the crime and the topic that is being investigated is a group of people who are politically opposed to the president.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For administrators of websites that involve political dissent or discussion, Rumold says best practices would dictate not keeping logs of visitor data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Legba Carrefour, who was one of the organizers for DisruptJ20, says the site's administrators \u003cem>didn't\u003c/em> keep this data for DisruptJ20.org, but DreamHost did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We would not keep records on who visits our website,\" Carrefour told NPR. \"We don't want to know, and we don't care. But also I'm sure like half of those are probably cops\" checking to see what the group had planned for the inauguration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carrefour said DisruptJ20 used what is called \"the open organizing model\": Instead of making plans in secret, they posted everything they intended to do right on their website. They held biweekly meetings to audiences of 200 or 300 people at a time, in places like church basements, which he assumes police attended. \"We feel like open organizing is a better way to recruit people and also sort of a more honest, forthright, and successful way of organizing mass mobilizations.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carrefour said he was \"surprised and impressed\" that DreamHost is \"going to the lengths they are to resist\" the government's request.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DreamHost says its stance isn't a political one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This has become a political issue for many — but our interest in this case truly isn't that specific,\" DreamHost spokesman Brett Dunst wrote in an email to NPR. \"We're completely content-agnostic in this. For DreamHost, this is simply an over-broad request for records, and we feel obligated to contest it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said DreamHost keeps server logs in order to manage the sites of its 400,000-plus customers and identify issues like Distributed Denial of Service attacks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We only retain those logs for a very brief time,\" Dunst wrote. \"The DOJ served us with a preservation notice immediately after the inauguration, which is why we still have access to that data in this case.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Justice Department's demand for the logs has troubling implications, says Georgetown University law professor \u003ca href=\"https://www.law.georgetown.edu/faculty/ohm-paul.cfm\">Paul Ohm\u003c/a>, who formerly worked as an attorney in the Department of Justice's Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's disturbing to me,\" Ohm tells NPR, \"that with a single warrant, signed by a single judge — especially given the speech implications of this particular website — it's disturbing to me that that could be the single key that unlocks the political and speech habits of I-don't-know-how-many-people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He estimated that 1.3 million visitor logs could represent thousands of people, or hundreds of thousands. And he said that the framers of the U.S. Constitution specifically wanted to avoid practices like British general warrants, which gave sweeping access to search any location with a single piece of paper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This smells like a general warrant,\" says Ohm. \"I think the framers would recognize a single request to get the reading habits of tens of thousands of people to essentially be the closest thing we have in modern times to a general warrant.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ohm says courts have often considered how rights against illegal search and seizure begin to overlap with free speech rights — and \"this case is tailor-made to sit at that intersection.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Trump’s remarks on Monday followed criticism that his initial statement about the clash of protesters did not condemn racist groups specifically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Racism is evil, and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis and white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans,” the president said from the White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump began his remarks talking about his economic accomplishments and plans for trade negotiations before turning his attention to the events over the weekend in Virginia. After the Charlottesville City Council had voted earlier this year to remove a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee from one of its parks, white nationalist groups — including white supremacists, the alt-right, the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis — descended on the city for a “Unite the Right” rally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday night, they marched on the normally sleepy college town, home to the University of Virginia, carrying torches. On Saturday conditions turned deadly as hundreds of the white nationalists, some carrying Confederate flags and shields and others in militia-like gear, clashed with counterprotesters in the city streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”h5HspAIoHvxJaB6J1P27SUUTUuLfii9Z”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one point a silver Dodge Challenger, allegedly driven by 20-year-old James Alex Fields Jr. of Ohio, rammed into a street filled with counterprotesters. Heather Heyer, 32, was killed, and at least 19 others were injured. \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/08/14/543414086/charlottesville-suspect-to-remain-in-jail-after-first-court-appearance\">Fields was charged\u003c/a> with one count of second-degree murder, three counts of malicious wounding and one count of hit and run.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump expressed sympathy to Heyer’s family as well as to the families of Virginia State Troopers Lt. H. Jay Cullen and Berke M.M. Bates, who died when their helicopter that was patrolling Saturday’s event crashed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These three fallen Americans embody the goodness and decency of our nation,” Trump said. “In times such as these, America has always shown its true character, responding to hate with love, division with unity, and violence with an unwavering resolve for justice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump spoke after meeting with newly installed FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Jeff Sessions at the White House. He said that the Department of Justice had opened a civil rights investigation into the car attack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To anyone who acted criminally at this weekend’s racist violence, you will be held fully accountable. Justice will be delivered,” the president said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sessions \u003ca href=\"http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trumps-attorney-general-evil-charlottesville-car-ramming-fits/story?id=49202191\">told ABC News\u003c/a> on Monday morning that the car crash that had killed Heyer “does meet the definition of domestic terrorism.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can be sure we will charge and advance the investigation towards the most serious charges that can be brought, because this is unequivocally an unacceptable, evil attack,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”6CPD8U2oj4Pt7QqTXE1uSHHk3GCVG0FE”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president’s condemnations may be too little, too late for those who criticized Trump’s initial remarks — and Trump may have missed a critical moment to be the nation’s healer in chief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., the Senate’s only black Republican, said in a statement later Monday that while Trump’s remarks earlier that day were “clear and specific,” those words “would have been more impactful on Saturday.” In an op-ed in \u003cem>USA Today\u003c/em>, which did not mention Trump, \u003ca href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2017/08/14/fight-hatred-fear-domestic-terror-with-american-ideals-tim-scott-column/564755001/\">Scott wrote\u003c/a>, “Our response to the events in Charlottesville, Va., should mirror our response to the murders at \u003ca href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2016/12/07/witness-charleston-shooting-felicia-sanders/95121812/\">Mother Emanuel Church\u003c/a> in Charleston.

These were white supremacists and this was domestic terrorism,” Sen. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., who heads up the GOP Senate campaign committee, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/SenCoryGardner/status/896472477844385792\">tweeted\u003c/a> on Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/SenCoryGardner/status/896472477844385792\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House put out an unsigned statement on Sunday morning, saying that, “The President said very strongly in his statement yesterday that he condemns all forms of violence, bigotry and hatred and of course that includes white Supremacists, KKK, neo-nazi and all extremist groups. He called for national unity and bringing all Americans together.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vice President Pence had gone further than the president in his own comments, telling reporters Sunday night while traveling in Colombia, “We have no tolerance for hate and violence from white supremacists, neo-Nazis or the KKK. These dangerous fringe groups have no place in American public life and in the American debate, and we condemn them in the strongest possible terms.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>been blamed for being slow to criticize white supremacist groups in the past — even as he regularly attacks other targets on Twitter. During the 2016 campaign, Trump came under fire for \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/03/politics/donald-trump-disavows-david-duke-kkk/index.html\">not immediately disavowing\u003c/a> the endorsement of David Duke, a former KKK grand wizard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”GErqhhVGf0tdTOtnHMoVic98fciKFMmw”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duke, who attended the march in Virginia, said on Saturday that participants’ aim was “to fulfill the promises of Donald Trump. That’s what we believed in. That’s why we voted for Donald Trump, because he said he’s going to take our country back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duke later \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/DrDavidDuke/status/896431991821926401\">responded to one of the president’s tweets\u003c/a> condemning the violence by saying, “I would recommend you take a good look in the mirror & remember it was White Americans who put you in the presidency, not radical leftists.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKi2AOPBavU\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Read Trump’s full remarks, delivered Monday afternoon at the White House: \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thank you. I’m in Washington today to meet with my economic team about trade policy and major tax cuts and reform. We are renegotiating trade deals and making them good for the American worker and it’s about time. Our economy is now strong. The stock market continues to hit record highs, unemployment is at 16 year low and businesses are more optimistic than ever before. Companies are moving back to the United States and bringing many thousands of jobs with them. We have already created over one million jobs since I took office. We will be discussing economic issues in greater detail later this afternoon but based on the events that took place over the weekend in Charlottesville, Virginia, I would like to provide the nation with an update on the ongoing federal response to the horrific attack and violence that was witnessed by everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I just met with FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Jeff Sessions. The Department of Justice has opened a civil rights investigation into the deadly car attack that killed one innocent American and wounded 20 others. To anyone who acted criminally in this weekend’s racist violence, you will be held fully accountable. Justice will be delivered. As I said on Saturday, we condemn in the strongest possible terms, this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence. It has no place in America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And as I have said many times before, no matter the color of our skin, we all live under the same laws. We all salute the same great flag. And we are all made by the same almighty God. We must love each other, show affection for each other, and unite together in condemnation of hated, bigotry and violence. We must rediscover the bonds of love and loyalty that bring us together as Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Racism is evil. And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo Nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans. We are a nation founded on the truth that all of us are created equal. We are equal in the eyes of our creator. We are equal under the law. And we are equal under our constitution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those who spread violence in the name of bigotry strike at the very core of America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two days ago, a young American woman, Heather Heyer, was tragically killed. Her death fills us with grief and we send her family our thoughts, our prayers and our love. We also mourn the two Virginia state troopers who died in service to their community, their commonwealth and their country. Troopers Jay Cullen and Berke Bates exemplify the very best of America and our hearts go out to their families, their friends and every member of American law enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These three fallen Americans embody the goodness and decency of our nation. In times such as these, America has always shown its true character, responding to hate with love, division with unity, and violence with an unwavering resolve for justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a candidate, I promised to restore law and order to our country and our federal law enforcement agencies are following through on that pledge. We will spare no resource in fighting so that every American child can grow up free from violence and fear. We will defend and protect the sacred rights of all Americans and we will work together so that every citizen in this blessed land is free to follow their dreams in their hearts and to express the love and joy in their souls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thank you, god bless you and god bless America. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

"headTitle": "The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera announced the city's latest legal challenge Monday to President Trump's efforts to withhold federal funding from \"sanctuary cities,\" jurisdictions that minimize local law enforcement cooperation with immigration enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It follows a lawsuit in January that challenged Trump's broader threat to funding for sanctuary cities. The latest suit names U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions and challenges conditions announced July 25 on certain grants from the federal Department of Justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The president is once again attempting to end-run the Constitution,\" Herrera said. \"In the name of public safety, this president is undercutting law enforcement by withholding money used to reduce crime.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Attorney General Xavier Becerra joined Herrera's announcement and said he plans to soon file a similar lawsuit on behalf of all the state's jurisdictions, which stand to lose more than $28 million in Byrne Justice Assistance Grants (JAG) if the latest, paired-down threat to federal funding in sanctuary cities is carried out. Herrera said San Francisco receives about $1.5 million in JAG funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We all rely on those grants for crime-fighting,\" Becerra said, adding that the grants often help fund policing as well as programs to reduce recidivism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit on behalf of California will be the first of its kind, Becerra said, brought by an entire state that challenges the constitutionality of cutting federal grants for cities that minimize cooperation with U.S. immigration agents. Becerra had previously written in support of San Francisco's suit against Trump's executive order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Today we will file a lawsuit to join with the city of San Francisco to make it clear we’re intent on fighting crime,\" Becerra said. \"We’re intent on gaining the resources we need.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Herrera and Becerra stressed that local and state law enforcement officials are in the best position to make decisions about how California and its cities should use its resources, not the federal government.

The latest suit names U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions and challenges conditions announced July 25 on certain grants from the federal Department of Justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The president is once again attempting to end-run the Constitution,\" Herrera said. \"In the name of public safety, this president is undercutting law enforcement by withholding money used to reduce crime.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Attorney General Xavier Becerra joined Herrera's announcement and said he plans to soon file a similar lawsuit on behalf of all the state's jurisdictions, which stand to lose more than $28 million in Byrne Justice Assistance Grants (JAG) if the latest, paired-down threat to federal funding in sanctuary cities is carried out. Herrera said San Francisco receives about $1.5 million in JAG funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We all rely on those grants for crime-fighting,\" Becerra said, adding that the grants often help fund policing as well as programs to reduce recidivism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Becerra had previously written in support of San Francisco's suit against Trump's executive order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Today we will file a lawsuit to join with the city of San Francisco to make it clear we’re intent on fighting crime,\" Becerra said. \"We’re intent on gaining the resources we need.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Herrera and Becerra stressed that local and state law enforcement officials are in the best position to make decisions about how California and its cities should use its resources, not the federal government.
