Boente, a veteran prosecutor with decades of experience, will serve until Trump’s nominee, Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, is confirmed by the Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less than two weeks after his inauguration, and only hours after Yates sent a message to department lawyers pledging that she would not enforce Trump’s order restricting travel and immigration from many Muslim-majority countries, the new president removed the nation’s top law enforcement officer in a move not seen since the Nixon era.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yates said she was not “convinced” about the legality of Trump’s decision to block travelers from Iraq, Iran, Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Libya and Somalia for 90 days; to suspend new refugee admissions; and to ban the acceptance of Syrian refugees indefinitely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her letter cited a sense of responsibility for both law and justice:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"edTag\">\n\u003cdiv>\n\u003cp>“My responsibility is to ensure that the position of the Department of Justice is not only legally defensible, but is informed by our best view of what the law is after consideration of all the facts. In addition, I am responsible for ensuring that the positions we take in court remain consistent with this institution’s solemn obligation to always seek justice and stand for what is right. At present, I am not convinced that the defense of the Executive Order is consistent with these responsibilities nor am I convinced that the Executive Order is lawful.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cdiv id=\"res512538883\" class=\"bucketwrap internallink insettwocolumn inset2col \">\n\u003cdiv class=\"bucket img\">\u003ca id=\"featuredStackSquareImage512158238\" href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/01/28/512158238/arrivals-to-u-s-blocked-and-detained-as-trumps-immigration-freeze-sets-in\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" class=\"img\" src=\"http://media.npr.org/assets/img/2017/01/28/gettyimages-632870216_sq-eb8f7e7a27afc67f0a5413965eff982df1bb6b11-s300-c85.jpg\" alt=\"Federal Judge Stays Deportations, Blocking Part Of Trump's Immigration Order\">\u003c/a>\n\u003cdiv class=\"bucketblock\">\n\u003ch3 class=\"slug\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/\">THE TWO-WAY\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/01/28/512158238/arrivals-to-u-s-blocked-and-detained-as-trumps-immigration-freeze-sets-in\">Federal Judge Stays Deportations, Blocking Part Of Trump’s Immigration Order\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"edTag\">\n\u003cdiv>\n\u003cp>“Consequently, for as long as I am the Acting Attorney General, the Department of Justice will not present arguments in defense of the Executive Order, unless and until I become convinced that it is appropriate to do so.”\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003caside id=\"ad-backstage-wrap\">\u003c/aside>\n\u003caside id=\"ad-mobilebackfill-wrap\">\n\u003cdiv id=\"ad-mobilebackfill-News_Politics\" class=\"ad-mobilebackfill\">\u003c/div>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Justice lawyers had been in courts all over the country this past weekend on the opposing side of refugees and travelers, often making weak arguments and stating they didn’t have enough information about the executive order and its legal underpinnings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Justice Department confirmed its Office of Legal Counsel had done a review of the order to determine whether it was “on its face, lawful, and properly drafted.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the objections Yates raised in her bombshell letter pointed out the OLC review didn’t consider statements “made by an administration or its surrogates…that may bear on the order’s purpose.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That passage appeared to refer to comments by Rudy Giuliani, who told Fox News that Trump had wanted to impose a “Muslim ban” but wanted advisers to find a way to do it “legally.” Immigrants rights advocates said Giuliani’s remarks could offer them evidence to prove the administration had a “discriminatory purpose.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The order set off chaos — and protests — across the country as many people with valid visas and legal U.S. residents with green cards were denied entry and threatened with deportation. On Saturday night, federal Judge Ann Donnelly issued a stay on the deportations of valid visa holders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee Gelernt, deputy director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Immigrants’ Rights Project, said of the DOJ action: “This is a remarkable but welcome development and sends a powerful message that there’s something very wrong with a Muslim ban.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the news was breaking of the directive from Yates, Trump senior policy adviser Stephen Miller told MSNBC’s Greta Van Susteren that Yates’ decision was “a further demonstration of how politicized our legal system has become.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And inside the White House, Trump tweeted about Democratic obstruction of his nominees, “Now have an Obama AG.” Less than two hours later, Yates was out of a job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her successor, Dana Boente, pledged to “defend and enforce the laws of our country to ensure that our people and our nation are protected.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s very unusual for the Justice Department to refuse to defend a law or an executive order, though it isn’t unprecedented. During the Obama administration, for example, top officials decided not to defend the Defense of Marriage Act that defined marriage as between one man and one woman. The Supreme Court eventually ruled in favor of same-sex marriage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump could remove Yates, but there would be no one at the Justice Department who could sign Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants, which would leave a big gap in national security.\u003c/p>\n\n",

(\u003ca href=\"https://www.macfound.org/fellows/953/\">Ahilan Arulanantham\u003c/a>, a human rights attorney, told us on\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/podcasts/510312/codeswitch\"> the Code Switch podcast this week\u003c/a> that some big legal fights are likely between those cities and the White House over whether the federal government has the authority to withhold that law enforcement funding.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if threatening to cut off federal funding won't make sanctuary cities fall in line, the president is ready to try shaming them. According to one of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/01/25/text-trump-executive-order-on-enhancing-public-safety-in-interior-united-states.html\">executive orders he signed on immigration enforcement this week,\u003c/a> the White House intends to publicize when sanctuary cities do not comply by \"[making] public a comprehensive list of criminal actions committed by aliens and any jurisdiction that ignored or otherwise failed to honor any detainers with respect to such aliens.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's not clear yet exactly how the White House will publicize this catalog of crimes committed by immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the available data on crime, immigration and safety in cities does not support the premise for the president's actions. \u003ca href=\"https://www.theatlantic.com/news/archive/2016/06/immigrants-and-crime/486884/\">News outlets \u003c/a>and researchers pointed out during the presidential campaign that immigrants who are in the country illegally are less likely to commit crimes or be incarcerated than the general population. The American Immigration Council noted \u003ca href=\"https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/sites/default/files/research/the_criminalization_of_immigration_in_the_united_states.pdf\">in a 2015 study\u003c/a> that the recent period of rising immigration to the United States from 1990 to 2013 also corresponded with plummeting crime rates across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, \u003ca href=\"https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/immigration/reports/2017/01/26/297366/the-effects-of-sanctuary-policies-on-crime-and-the-economy/\">a new study conducted by Tom K. Wong\u003c/a>, a political scientist at UC San Diego, found that there are broad benefits for local jurisdictions that resist cooperating with federal immigration enforcement — they are safer in the aggregate and enjoy stronger economies. \"For the first time we're kind of seeing that crime rates are lower when localities stay out of the business of federal immigration enforcement,\" Wong said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He looked at federal data on immigration detainers, an ICE-initiated 48-hour hold on anyone identified as being in the country illegally. When someone is arrested and detained in a local jail, their fingerprints are cross-referenced with a federal database of undocumented immigrants. If the fingerprints match those of someone known to be in the country illegally, ICE can ask local law enforcement to hold that person as federal officials decide whether to start the deportation process. (There have been court battles over whether holding people for days without actual charges with these federal immigration detainer requests is in violation of the Constitution.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wong compared the data from thousands of counties, those that ICE said did not honor detainer requests and those that did. \"We don't have to make up a definition of what a sanctuary locality is,\" Wong said. \"We have ICE telling us what it thinks a sanctuary county is.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On average, counties that did not comply with ICE requests experienced 35.5 fewer crimes per 10,000 people than those that did. Wong also found that counties that did not comply with detainer requests had higher household incomes, lower rates of unemployment, lower rates of poverty and were less likely to have children under 18 in households receiving public benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The crime numbers did not surprise Wong. Research has shown that working with federal immigration enforcement made it harder for local police agencies to investigate crimes because witnesses and victims who were in the country illegally would be less likely to come forward if they thought they risked being detained and deported. It could be that sanctuary counties have immigrant populations who are more integrated into their social fabric and economies, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The research also revealed that smaller, more rural counties experienced the most significant impact from sanctuary policies on their crime rates (lower) and economies (stronger). Taken together, Wong said, the net benefits to sanctuary cities would offset the impact of Trump's shame offensive on them. \"The ultimate effect is going to be minimal,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

(\u003ca href=\"https://www.macfound.org/fellows/953/\">Ahilan Arulanantham\u003c/a>, a human rights attorney, told us on\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/podcasts/510312/codeswitch\"> the Code Switch podcast this week\u003c/a> that some big legal fights are likely between those cities and the White House over whether the federal government has the authority to withhold that law enforcement funding.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if threatening to cut off federal funding won't make sanctuary cities fall in line, the president is ready to try shaming them. According to one of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/01/25/text-trump-executive-order-on-enhancing-public-safety-in-interior-united-states.html\">executive orders he signed on immigration enforcement this week,\u003c/a> the White House intends to publicize when sanctuary cities do not comply by \"[making] public a comprehensive list of criminal actions committed by aliens and any jurisdiction that ignored or otherwise failed to honor any detainers with respect to such aliens.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's not clear yet exactly how the White House will publicize this catalog of crimes committed by immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the available data on crime, immigration and safety in cities does not support the premise for the president's actions. \u003ca href=\"https://www.theatlantic.com/news/archive/2016/06/immigrants-and-crime/486884/\">News outlets \u003c/a>and researchers pointed out during the presidential campaign that immigrants who are in the country illegally are less likely to commit crimes or be incarcerated than the general population. The American Immigration Council noted \u003ca href=\"https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/sites/default/files/research/the_criminalization_of_immigration_in_the_united_states.pdf\">in a 2015 study\u003c/a> that the recent period of rising immigration to the United States from 1990 to 2013 also corresponded with plummeting crime rates across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Wong\u003c/a>, a political scientist at UC San Diego, found that there are broad benefits for local jurisdictions that resist cooperating with federal immigration enforcement — they are safer in the aggregate and enjoy stronger economies. \"For the first time we're kind of seeing that crime rates are lower when localities stay out of the business of federal immigration enforcement,\" Wong said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He looked at federal data on immigration detainers, an ICE-initiated 48-hour hold on anyone identified as being in the country illegally. When someone is arrested and detained in a local jail, their fingerprints are cross-referenced with a federal database of undocumented immigrants. If the fingerprints match those of someone known to be in the country illegally, ICE can ask local law enforcement to hold that person as federal officials decide whether to start the deportation process. (There have been court battles over whether holding people for days without actual charges with these federal immigration detainer requests is in violation of the Constitution.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wong compared the data from thousands of counties, those that ICE said did not honor detainer requests and those that did. \"We don't have to make up a definition of what a sanctuary locality is,\" Wong said. \"We have ICE telling us what it thinks a sanctuary county is.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On average, counties that did not comply with ICE requests experienced 35.5 fewer crimes per 10,000 people than those that did. Wong also found that counties that did not comply with detainer requests had higher household incomes, lower rates of unemployment, lower rates of poverty and were less likely to have children under 18 in households receiving public benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The crime numbers did not surprise Wong. Research has shown that working with federal immigration enforcement made it harder for local police agencies to investigate crimes because witnesses and victims who were in the country illegally would be less likely to come forward if they thought they risked being detained and deported. It could be that sanctuary counties have immigrant populations who are more integrated into their social fabric and economies, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The research also revealed that smaller, more rural counties experienced the most significant impact from sanctuary policies on their crime rates (lower) and economies (stronger). Taken together, Wong said, the net benefits to sanctuary cities would offset the impact of Trump's shame offensive on them. \"The ultimate effect is going to be minimal,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

But he noted in \u003ca href=\"https://newsroom.uber.com/standing-up-for-whats-right/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a blog post published Saturday\u003c/a> that the travel ban will affect thousands of Uber drivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This ban will impact many innocent people,” Kalanick said, “an issue that I will raise this coming Friday when I go to Washington for President Trump’s first business advisory group meeting.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Technology investor Chris Sacca, an early backer of Uber and Instagram, said on Twitter that he would match ACLU donations up to $75,000 after the organization sued over the ban — and then decided to donate another $75,000 , for a total of $150,000. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>EBay founder Pierre Omidyar, the child of Iranians, complained that the order was “simple bigotry .”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla Motors and SpaceX founder Elon Musk, who has recently appeared to be cultivating a relationship with Trump, tweeted that “many people negatively affected by this policy are strong supporters of the U.S.” who don’t “deserve to be rejected.” Musk is an immigrant from South Africa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google told its employees from those countries to cancel any travel plans outside the U.S. and to consult with the company’s human resources department if they’re not currently in the U.S., according to a companywide note described to The Associated Press. That memo was first reported by Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google CEO Sundar Pichai told employees in the note that at least 187 Google workers could be affected by Trump’s order. It is not clear how many of those workers are currently traveling outside the U.S. “We’ve always made our views on immigration known publicly and will continue to do so,” Pichai said in the memo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Company representatives declined to discuss the memo or to answer questions about the affected employees.

Leaks of draft executive orders, still unverified, suggest that Trump might also revamp the H1-B program that lets Silicon Valley bring foreigners with technical skills to the U.S. for three to six years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the tech industry insists the H1-B program is vital, it has drawn fire for allegedly disadvantaging American programmers and engineers, especially given that the visas are widely used by outsourcing firms. Trump’s attorney general nominee, Sen. Jeff Sessions, is a long-time critic of the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Venky Ganesan, a managing director at venture capitalist firm Menlo Ventures, acknowledged that the program is “not perfect” and subject to some abuse, but noted that it provides an invaluable source of skilled workers and plays a “pivotal” role in the tech industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we want to buy American and hire American, we do that best by creating companies in America,” he said. :Having the best and brightest from all over the world come and create companies in America is better than them creating companies in India, Israel or China.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>AP Auto Writer Dee-Ann Durbin contributed to this article from Detroit.

But he noted in \u003ca href=\"https://newsroom.uber.com/standing-up-for-whats-right/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a blog post published Saturday\u003c/a> that the travel ban will affect thousands of Uber drivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This ban will impact many innocent people,” Kalanick said, “an issue that I will raise this coming Friday when I go to Washington for President Trump’s first business advisory group meeting.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Technology investor Chris Sacca, an early backer of Uber and Instagram, said on Twitter that he would match ACLU donations up to $75,000 after the organization sued over the ban — and then decided to donate another $75,000 , for a total of $150,000. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>EBay founder Pierre Omidyar, the child of Iranians, complained that the order was “simple bigotry .”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla Motors and SpaceX founder Elon Musk, who has recently appeared to be cultivating a relationship with Trump, tweeted that “many people negatively affected by this policy are strong supporters of the U.S.” who don’t “deserve to be rejected.” Musk is an immigrant from South Africa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google told its employees from those countries to cancel any travel plans outside the U.S. and to consult with the company’s human resources department if they’re not currently in the U.S., according to a companywide note described to The Associated Press. That memo was first reported by Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google CEO Sundar Pichai told employees in the note that at least 187 Google workers could be affected by Trump’s order. It is not clear how many of those workers are currently traveling outside the U.S. “We’ve always made our views on immigration known publicly and will continue to do so,” Pichai said in the memo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Company representatives declined to discuss the memo or to answer questions about the affected employees. In an official statement, Google said: “We’re concerned about the impact of this order and any proposals that could impose restrictions on Googlers and their families, or that could create barriers to bringing great talent to the U.S.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Microsoft also said it is providing legal advice and assistance to its employees from the banned countries, noting they are all working in the U.S. lawfully.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tech industry may be bracing for further immigration-related hits. Leaks of draft executive orders, still unverified, suggest that Trump might also revamp the H1-B program that lets Silicon Valley bring foreigners with technical skills to the U.S. for three to six years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the tech industry insists the H1-B program is vital, it has drawn fire for allegedly disadvantaging American programmers and engineers, especially given that the visas are widely used by outsourcing firms. Trump’s attorney general nominee, Sen. Jeff Sessions, is a long-time critic of the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Venky Ganesan, a managing director at venture capitalist firm Menlo Ventures, acknowledged that the program is “not perfect” and subject to some abuse, but noted that it provides an invaluable source of skilled workers and plays a “pivotal” role in the tech industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we want to buy American and hire American, we do that best by creating companies in America,” he said. :Having the best and brightest from all over the world come and create companies in America is better than them creating companies in India, Israel or China.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And I think the judge did that today.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ads will have to air on the same television networks and approximate times that the company purchased during its trial, as well as in the San Francisco Chronicle and Wall Street Journal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Henderson ordered PG&E to air approximately 12,500 of the commercials over a three-month period, up to a cost of $3 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What are they doing? Why are they advertising safety when all of this happened? You know it’s kind of a slap in the face to all of us,\" Ruane said. \"I think this will turn that feeling around to have 12,500 commercials to show, wait a minute, maybe we’re not as safe as we were projecting.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sue Bullis, whose husband, son and mother-in-law died in the 2010 explosion, said PG&E advertisements touting the company's commitment to safety \"make me a little ill.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Of course I would have liked prison time for the high executives, but that’s not something that was before the court, and that’s sad,\" she said. \"I thought the judgment was strong, but, you know, it’s never enough because I can never get my family back.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"zktAr2c77h0l08p150DArqAmtZmJuTWp\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a written statement on the sentence, PG&E continued to highlight safety improvements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We want San Bruno and all of the communities we serve to know that we at PG&E have committed ourselves to a goal of transforming this company into the safest and most reliable energy provider in America and to re-earning their trust through our actions,\" the statement says. \"[W]e fully recognize that we will always have more work to do, regardless of the significant safety actions and investments we’ve made.

Attorneys for the utility argued that PG&E emphasizes safety, and that public and employee safety measures are supposed to make up 50 percent of bonus criteria. They also argued that the proposal could encourage employees to under-report safety incidents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Henderson declined on Thursday to order the bonus restructuring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two years ago, the California Public Utilities Commission fined PG&E $1.6 billion for its role in the fatal blast. That money mostly went into safety improvements and into the state's general fund. PG&E has already settled claims amounting to nearly $500 million with San Bruno victims and families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Read Judge Thelton Henderson's order on an independent monitor for PG&E below:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[scribd id=337642884 key=key-rgXktf0BfmHblvkcSNAj mode=scroll]\u003c/p>\n\n",

And I think the judge did that today.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ads will have to air on the same television networks and approximate times that the company purchased during its trial, as well as in the San Francisco Chronicle and Wall Street Journal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Henderson ordered PG&E to air approximately 12,500 of the commercials over a three-month period, up to a cost of $3 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What are they doing? Why are they advertising safety when all of this happened? You know it’s kind of a slap in the face to all of us,\" Ruane said. \"I think this will turn that feeling around to have 12,500 commercials to show, wait a minute, maybe we’re not as safe as we were projecting.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sue Bullis, whose husband, son and mother-in-law died in the 2010 explosion, said PG&E advertisements touting the company's commitment to safety \"make me a little ill.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Of course I would have liked prison time for the high executives, but that’s not something that was before the court, and that’s sad,\" she said. \"I thought the judgment was strong, but, you know, it’s never enough because I can never get my family back.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a written statement on the sentence, PG&E continued to highlight safety improvements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We want San Bruno and all of the communities we serve to know that we at PG&E have committed ourselves to a goal of transforming this company into the safest and most reliable energy provider in America and to re-earning their trust through our actions,\" the statement says. \"[W]e fully recognize that we will always have more work to do, regardless of the significant safety actions and investments we’ve made. We sincerely apologize to the families and friends of those who lost their lives or were injured in this tragic explosion and we want them to know our mission and our commitment to safety will never stop.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E employees also will be required to perform 10,000 hours of community service, with at least 2,000 of those hours being performed by high-level personnel, according to Henderson's reading of the sentence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is strongly recommend that this service should be in the town of San Bruno to the extent possible,\" Henderson said. \"The community service shall be geared toward giving back to communities affected by PG&E’s negligence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ruane said he has plenty of ideas for how PG&E can fulfill its community service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think we can find a lot of things to fill 10,000 hours, believe me, especially with some high executives,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier, the company protested the prosecutor’s request to restructure PG&E’s bonus compensation program to prioritize safety. Attorneys for the utility argued that PG&E emphasizes safety, and that public and employee safety measures are supposed to make up 50 percent of bonus criteria. They also argued that the proposal could encourage employees to under-report safety incidents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Henderson declined on Thursday to order the bonus restructuring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two years ago, the California Public Utilities Commission fined PG&E $1.6 billion for its role in the fatal blast. That money mostly went into safety improvements and into the state's general fund. PG&E has already settled claims amounting to nearly $500 million with San Bruno victims and families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Read Judge Thelton Henderson's order on an independent monitor for PG&E below:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003ciframe\n class=\"scribd_iframe_embed\"\n src=\"//www.scribd.com/embeds/337642884/content?start_page=1&view_mode=&access_key=key-rgXktf0BfmHblvkcSNAj\"\n title=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/337642884\"\n data-auto-height=\"true\" scrolling=\"no\" id=\"scribd_337642884\"\n width=\"100%\" height=\"500\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\n \u003ca class=\"utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__scribdShortcode__scribd_footer\"\n href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/337642884\"\n target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">View this document on Scribd\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
