In a year with so many appalling acts of gun violence, this is the most shocking of such tragedies. While we do not have all the details behind this senseless and unconscionable massacre, it is a sad and horrific reminder of what is possible when guns get into the wrong hands. We must limit access to weapons that can result in such catastrophe and mass murder.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee told KQED's Mina Kim today:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The state of CA, we have a ban on assault weapons that is crystal clear ...

Having that sense of safety ripped from us, again, is both shocking and jarring. It is difficult to imagine what it feels like to be a parent that has outlived their child or to be part of a family inexplicably left with a gaping hole in their hearts. While exact details still remain unclear, there is no doubt that today is a somber day. A close-knit community, like countless communities all around our country, was violently attacked, and we will continue to feel the shocks of this violence for some time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This event, much like the numerous other shootings earlier this year, will undoubtedly lead to difficult discussions about safety, public policy and emergency preparedness.

His son told him that he heard a noise that \"sounded like what he described as cans falling.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The boy told him a teacher went out to check on the noise, came back in, locked the door and had the kids huddle up in the corner until police arrived.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's no words,\" Wilford said. \"It's sheer terror, a sense of imminent danger, to get to your child and be there to protect him.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday afternoon, family members were led away from a firehouse that was being used as a staging area, some of them weeping. One man, wearing only a T-shirt without a jacket, put his arms around a woman as they walked down the middle of the street, oblivious to everything around them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another woman with tears rolling down her face walked by carrying a car seat with a young infant inside and a bag that appeared to have toys and stuffed animals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Evil visited this community today and it's too early to speak of recovery, but each parent, each sibling, each member of the family has to understand that Connecticut — we're all in this together.

This morning, when parents kissed their kids goodbye knowing that they are going to be home to celebrate the holiday season coming up, you don't expect this to happen.

Jerry Brown met with leaders from the California State Sheriffs’ Association last week to discuss ways to give city police and county sheriff’s departments discretion on immigration enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_79315\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 248px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/10/undocumented-immigrants1.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-79315 \" title=\"undocumented immigrants\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/10/undocumented-immigrants1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"248\" height=\"140\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Undocumented immigrants lay out a patio. (Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Alameda County Sheriff Gregory Ahern said he recommended legislation to amend state \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=pen&group=00001-01000&file=833-851.90\" target=\"_blank\">Penal Code 834b\u003c/a>. The code mandates that law enforcement cooperate with federal agents “regarding any person who is arrested if he or she is suspected of being present in the United States in violation of federal immigration laws.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown informed the sheriffs association that his office is working on draft legislation to that effect, Ahern said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At issue is how local law enforcement should participate in \u003ca href=\"http://www.ice.gov/secure_communities/\" target=\"_blank\">Secure Communities\u003c/a>, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement program operating in most of the state.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The program checks detainees’ residency status using fingerprint data collected from county jails. Immigration and Customs Enforcement can then place a hold on those found to be in the country illegally. Federal officials have cast the effort as critical to finding and deporting unauthorized immigrants who are dangerous criminals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Secure Communities frequently has snared detainees with no criminal histories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A review of the program by state Attorney General Kamala Harris’ office found that 28 percent of people deported from local jails had no conviction on their records. Last week, Harris spurred debate and action by releasing \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/536042-2012-12-04-harris-scomm.html\" target=\"_blank\">a legal opinion\u003c/a> that local jails are not required to participate in Secure Communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Under the principles of federalism, neither Congress nor the federal executive branch can require state officials to carry out federal programs at their own expense,” the attorney general’s opinion said. “If such detainers were mandatory, forced compliance would constitute the type of commandeering of state resources forbidden by the Tenth Amendment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The opinion reversed direction that Brown gave to police agencies two years ago while he was the attorney general.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca announced that his agency would no longer honor immigration holds on low-level offenders shortly after Harris issued her guidance. Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck took the same step in October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the past year, Santa Clara County has refused to incarcerate detainees beyond the standard hold time, which is based only on their current criminal charges, not immigration status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This decision by the attorney general confirms the (county’s) policy,” said Jeff Smith, Santa Clara County’s chief executive. “It’s consistent with the constitutional rights.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/asm/ab_1051-1100/ab_1081_vt_20120930.html\" target=\"_blank\">vetoed legislation\u003c/a> this fall – AB 1081, commonly referred to as the Trust Act – intended to make participation in Secure Communities optional. The governor argued that the measure would have directed local jails to disregard immigration holds even when detainees had past convictions for serious crimes like child abuse or drug trafficking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ahern, a vice president on the sheriffs association board, said most of the state’s elected law enforcement officials are not looking to cut ties with federal immigration authorities. Rather, they seek small tweaks in the relationship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local police want to focus their resources on dangerous criminals, Ahern said, not all unauthorized immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Often, opponents of local immigration enforcement highlight cases in which a college student, brought to the country illegally as a child, is arrested for a minor offense but faces deportation. Ahern said sheriffs should be able to decline immigration holds in such cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The great majority of us disagree with those types of actions,” Ahern said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was produced by The Bay Citizen, a project of the Center for Investigative Reporting.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement can then place a hold on those found to be in the country illegally. Federal officials have cast the effort as critical to finding and deporting unauthorized immigrants who are dangerous criminals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Secure Communities frequently has snared detainees with no criminal histories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A review of the program by state Attorney General Kamala Harris’ office found that 28 percent of people deported from local jails had no conviction on their records. Last week, Harris spurred debate and action by releasing \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/536042-2012-12-04-harris-scomm.html\" target=\"_blank\">a legal opinion\u003c/a> that local jails are not required to participate in Secure Communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Under the principles of federalism, neither Congress nor the federal executive branch can require state officials to carry out federal programs at their own expense,” the attorney general’s opinion said. “If such detainers were mandatory, forced compliance would constitute the type of commandeering of state resources forbidden by the Tenth Amendment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The opinion reversed direction that Brown gave to police agencies two years ago while he was the attorney general.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca announced that his agency would no longer honor immigration holds on low-level offenders shortly after Harris issued her guidance. Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck took the same step in October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the past year, Santa Clara County has refused to incarcerate detainees beyond the standard hold time, which is based only on their current criminal charges, not immigration status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This decision by the attorney general confirms the (county’s) policy,” said Jeff Smith, Santa Clara County’s chief executive. “It’s consistent with the constitutional rights.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/asm/ab_1051-1100/ab_1081_vt_20120930.html\" target=\"_blank\">vetoed legislation\u003c/a> this fall – AB 1081, commonly referred to as the Trust Act – intended to make participation in Secure Communities optional. The governor argued that the measure would have directed local jails to disregard immigration holds even when detainees had past convictions for serious crimes like child abuse or drug trafficking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ahern, a vice president on the sheriffs association board, said most of the state’s elected law enforcement officials are not looking to cut ties with federal immigration authorities. Rather, they seek small tweaks in the relationship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local police want to focus their resources on dangerous criminals, Ahern said, not all unauthorized immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Often, opponents of local immigration enforcement highlight cases in which a college student, brought to the country illegally as a child, is arrested for a minor offense but faces deportation. Ahern said sheriffs should be able to decline immigration holds in such cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The great majority of us disagree with those types of actions,” Ahern said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was produced by The Bay Citizen, a project of the Center for Investigative Reporting.

Which way did they decide to go?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>VIK AMAR\u003c/strong>: We don’t know. Remember, the Ninth Circuit Court invalidated Prop. 8. on grounds that were very specific to Prop. 8 and wouldn’t necessarily invalidate same-sex marriage bans in other states. That was an attempt by the Ninth Circuit to narrow the case so as to keep it away from the Supreme Court. That didn’t work. The Supreme Court is going to take the case. But whether they decide it on the same narrow grounds that the Ninth Circuit Court did, or they use it to more broadly accept or reject gay marriage is open to question, and we won’t know until the Supreme Court decides next spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SCOTT SHAFER\u003c/strong>: The legal team for Prop. 8 held a phone conference call shortly after the Supreme Court announced its decision, and Ted Olson was asked how they were going to approach the briefs in this case. He said they would argue on the broad merits of the case, the same way they did before the Ninth Circuit. He said, “The fundamental right to marry… is fundamental to all citizens… It is one of the most fundamental rights, if not \u003cem>the\u003c/em> most fundamental right that we have in this country.” \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>VIK AMAR\u003c/strong>: The Supreme Court could rule narrowly if they agreed with the Ninth Circuit that there are fundamental problems with Prop. 8, for example the fact that Prop. 8 repeals same-sex marriage, rather than never recognizes it in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But my guess is that the justices aren’t going to be that moved by the Ninth Circuit’s reasoning. And if they rule on the merits, they’d probably go a little bit more broadly than the Ninth Circuit did in one direction or the other. But remember, the Supreme Court today asked the parties to brief it about another question, which has been looming throughout, and that is whether the sponsors to Prop. 8 are proper parties to defend the measure in federal court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SCOTT SHAFER\u003c/strong>: I believe they also asked that question in the DOMA case they took up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>VIK AMAR\u003c/strong>: They did, because the Obama Administration has declined to defend DOMA, and in fact agrees with the lower courts that it’s unconstitutional, which led the House of Representatives to hire its own outside lawyers headed by Paul Clement. The court today wondered aloud, and asked the parties to brief it on whether Paul Clement and his group is a proper party to defend DOMA. If the justices were to say there is no one to defend Congress’s work product when the president doesn’t, that really opens up the door to broad presidential powers to essentially ignore and thus undermine what Congress does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SCOTT SHAFER\u003c/strong>: How does the cultural landscape affect the justices on these big questions?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>VIK AMAR\u003c/strong>: Well, I think it’s not just the important fact that a few weeks ago same-sex marriage proponents won at the ballot box for the first time in state initiatives. I think it’s more the sense that those victories are going to become more common in the future. It’s not just the electoral votes, it’s the polling data and the attitudinal data that we have behind those results that suggests there’s going to be major change going forward. Now that might incline some justices to want to get out ahead of the issue and to invalidate bans on same-sex marriage if ultimately that’s the way the populace is going.

And so society needs a mechanism to address that. And of course opposite-sex couples implicate the state's interest in responsible procreation. And while it is no slight to same-sex couples, same-sex couples do not implicate the interest that society has in marriage, which is to make sure that mothers and fathers who have children raise those children together.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"AP\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Full AP report\u003c/em>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court will take up California's ban on same-sex marriage, a case that could give the justices the chance to rule on whether gay Americans have the same constitutional right to marry as heterosexuals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The justices said Friday they will review a federal appeals court ruling that struck down the state's gay marriage ban, though on narrow grounds. The San Francisco-based appeals court said the state could not take away the same-sex marriage right that had been granted by California's Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court also will decide whether Congress can deprive legally married gay couples of federal benefits otherwise available to married people. A provision of the federal Defense of Marriage Act limits a range of health and pension benefits, as well as favorable tax treatment, to heterosexual couples.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cases probably will be argued in March, with decisions expected by late June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gay marriage is legal, or will be soon, in nine states — Connecticut, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Vermont, Washington — and the District of Columbia. Federal courts in California have struck down the state's constitutional ban on same-sex marriage, but that ruling has not taken effect while the issue is being appealed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voters in Maine, Maryland and Washington approved gay marriage earlier this month.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.scotusblog.com/2012/12/live-blog-anticipating-orders-hopefully-regarding-same-sex-marriage-sponsored-by-bloomberg-law/\">\u003cstrong>SCOTUSblog coverage\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/120712zr_3f14.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Friday's SCOTUS order list\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.nationformarriage.org/site/apps/nlnet/content2.aspx?c=omL2KeN0LzH&b=5075187&ct=12526975¬oc=1\">\u003cstrong>National Organization for Marriage statement\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/12/07/u-s-supreme-court-announcement-on-proposition-8-californias-gay-marriage-ban/#time\">\u003cstrong>Timeline: Same-sex marriage in California\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\tBut 31 states have amended their constitutions to prohibit same-sex marriage. North Carolina was the most recent example in May. In Minnesota earlier this month, voters defeated a proposal to enshrine a ban on gay marriage in that state's constitution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The biggest potential issue before the justices comes in the dispute over California's Proposition 8, the state constitutional ban on gay marriage that voters adopted in 2008 after the state Supreme Court ruled that gay Californians could marry. The case could allow the justices to decide whether the U.S. Constitution's guarantee of equal protection means that the right to marriage cannot be limited to heterosexuals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A decision in favor of gay marriage could set a national rule and overturn every state constitutional provision and law banning same-sex marriages. A ruling that upheld California's ban would be a setback for gay marriage proponents in the nation's largest state, although it would leave open the state-by-state effort to allow gays and lesbians to marry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In striking down Proposition 8, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals crafted a narrow ruling that said because gay Californians already had been given the right to marry, the state could not later take it away. The ruling studiously avoided any sweeping pronouncements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The larger constitutional issue almost certainly will be presented to the court, but the justices would not necessarily have to rule on it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other issue the high court will take on involves a provision of the Defense of Marriage Act, known by its acronym DOMA, which defines marriage as between a man and a woman for the purpose of deciding who can receive a range of federal benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four federal district courts and two appeals courts struck down the provision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The justices chose for their review the case of 83-year-old Edith Windsor, who sued to challenge a $363,000 federal estate tax bill after her partner of 44 years died in 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Windsor, who goes by Edie, married Thea Spyer in 2007 after doctors told them that Spyer would not live much longer. She suffered from multiple sclerosis for many years. Spyer left everything she had to Windsor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is no dispute that if Windsor had been married to a man, her estate tax bill would have been $0.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York agreed with a district judge that the provision of DOMA deprived Windsor of the constitutional guarantee of equal protection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"time\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The compliance director from my point of view has a responsibility that would be very much the same as a receiver.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barry Krisberg, a University of California Berkeley law professor, told Siler that “it looks awfully like receivership.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview with \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/default/article/Deal-avoids-U-S-takeover-of-Oakland-cops-4094477.php\">the San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/a>, Police Chief Howard Jordan said:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>(T)he difference between a receiver and compliance director is that under a receiver the city would have had no say in who that person would be or what they could do. With a compliance director, the city can nominate candidates for the job and work with the appointee to help meet goals.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>There is at least one other subtle difference. Rather than running the day-to-day crimestopping operations of the department, the compliance will be focused on, well, compliance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agreement calls on the compliance director to set goals around seven areas of concern:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1) Racial profiling\u003cbr>\n2) Firearms pointed “at minority citizens.”\u003cbr>\n3) Citizen complaints\u003cbr>\n4) Incidents involving the use of force\u003cbr>\n5) “Drawing and pointing of a firearm at a person.”\u003cbr>\n6) Shootings by officers\u003cbr>\n7) High-speed chases\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The police officers themselves, and the command people, they’re the ones that would be doing the police work,” said Burris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plaintiffs will get reports monthly about the progress the compliance director is making and can appeal to Henderson if they aren’t satisfied, Burris said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The compliance officer can spend up to $250,000 without approval.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agreement calls on the department to install new technology that collects data about incidents in which police make stops or use force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Can a new compliance director bring a close to this long chapter in the department’s history?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Movements like this don’t change the culture of an organization,” said Krisberg. “Success is going to depend on the skill of the person who is appointed by the parties.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agreement calls on the plaintiffs and the city to agree on a candidate for compliance director. If they can’t, they’ll submit the matter to the judge. Krisberg thinks it has to be someone with law enforcement experience in a city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond that, getting themselves out from under court supervision will depend a lot on the police officers themselves. “Essentially it’s going to depend on how long it takes the Oakland Police Department to accept and internalize the best practices in the field,” said Krisberg. “One person by themselves even with federal court power is not going to get that done.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca title=\"View Agreement Between Oakland and Civil Rights Plaintiffs on Scribd\" href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/115830540/Agreement-Between-Oakland-and-Civil-Rights-Plaintiffs\">Agreement Between Oakland and Civil Rights Plaintiffs\u003c/a>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http://www.scribd.com/embeds/115830540/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&access_key=key-2nmniqnwyxjnihri2lwz\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
