"title": "Federal Judge in Maryland Blocks Trump's Latest Travel Ban Attempt",
"headTitle": "The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>A federal judge in Maryland has blocked parts of President Trump's most recent attempt to impose broad limits on who can enter the U.S., granting a motion for a preliminary injunction that was filed by plaintiffs led by the International Refugee Assistance Project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plaintiffs \"have established that they are likely to succeed on the merits,\" District Judge Theodore Chuang wrote in the Tuesday order in dealing another setback to the Trump administration's attempt to ban travel to the U.S. by citizens of certain countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his ruling, Chuang wrote that the president's own tweets helped convince him that the latest policy is an \"inextricable re-animation of the twice-enjoined Muslim ban\" that Trump called for on the campaign trail, and is therefore likely to be found unconstitutional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"wgnoDHWxXqij0Wvjbo06OkodU7bz6qRj\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chuang said the plaintiffs \"are likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of injunctive relief, and that the balance of the equities and the public interest favor an injunction.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judge's order was filed one day before Trump's ban was set to take effect. It follows a similar order Tuesday from a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/10/17/federal-judge-in-hawaii-blocks-trumps-third-attempt-at-travel-ban/\">federal judge in Hawaii\u003c/a> in a related case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the third time the administration's proposed travel restrictions have been put on hold by the courts. Both judges say the latest version suffers from the same problems as the first two.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4112212-Md-Memo-Opinion.html\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Maryland injunction is the more limited of this week's rulings. It would allow some of the administration's new restrictions to take effect, but only for people who lack \"a credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States\" — echoing the language \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/06/26/533934989/supreme-court-will-hear-cases-on-president-trumps-travel-ban\">used by the Supreme Court\u003c/a> when it partially restored part of an earlier travel ban in June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two cases had been on the Supreme Court's calendar for the current term, but the court \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/09/25/553490088/supreme-court-removes-cases-over-trumps-travel-ban-from-calendar\">removed them \"pending further order\"\u003c/a> in September, after Trump issued a revised and expanded ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president's ban primarily targeted people from Muslim-majority countries — Chad, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen. In an apparent attempt to avoid the \"Muslim ban\" label that was applied to previous restrictions, Trump's proclamation also included citizens of North Korea and some officials of Venezuela's government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"MgVGROl91QeSrdS0LpRkJKxh4o1QTlgi\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In both Maryland and Hawaii, the judges limited their latest rulings to travelers from the six Muslim-majority countries on the list. North Korea and Venezuela are not affected by these rulings; the restrictions on travel from those countries can go into effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his memorandum opinion, Chuang noted that then-candidate Trump posted a document called \"Statement on Preventing Muslim Immigration\" on his website in December 2015. He also traced other references by Trump, including repeated calls for keeping Muslims out of the U.S. and, once in office, an embrace of the presidential order as a \"travel ban.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After federal judges blocked the president's earlier executive orders, Trump tweeted that the ban should be larger and tougher. \"This Court is obligated to pay attention to such statements,\" Chuang wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The American Civil Liberties Union has been arguing the case on behalf of the IRAP. Omar Jadwat, director of the ACLU's Immigrants' Rights Project, said Wednesday, \"Like the two versions before it, President Trump's latest travel ban is still a Muslim ban at its core. And like the two before it, this one is going down to defeat in the courts. Religious discrimination with window dressing is still unconstitutional.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's latest attempt at a travel ban came in late September, when he issued \u003ca href=\"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/09/27/2017-20899/enhancing-vetting-capabilities-and-processes-for-detecting-attempted-entry-into-the-united-states-by\">Presidential Proclamation 9645\u003c/a>, titled Enhancing Vetting Capabilities and Processes for Detecting Attempted Entry Into the United States by Terrorists or Other Public-Safety Threats.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration argues the travel restrictions are needed to protect national security. Justice Department lawyers say the government conducted an extensive worldwide review of other countries' security and intelligence-sharing practices, and then crafted new, tailored travel restrictions targeting countries that failed to comply with baseline U.S. standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"7C6ygmTQtee8YOC5RM3ct4wJszng5gtL\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the most recent iteration of the ban, five of the countries had been named in previous versions; a sixth country, Chad, was added to the list, while Sudan was removed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite those changes, the courts found the ban to be tainted by the same problems that tripped up the administration's earlier travel ban orders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"To the extent that the Government might have provided additional evidence to establish that national security is now the primary purpose for the travel ban, it has not done so,\" Chuang wrote in his ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration justified the new travel restrictions in part by referring to a classified report issued by the Department of Homeland Security, dated Sept. 15, 2017. But, Chuang notes, the administration did not share that report with the court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chuang also seems skeptical that the administration has applied its own security findings consistently. For example, Somalia was found to have adequate information-sharing practices, but it's still included in the total ban on immigration. The administration found that Venezuela, meanwhile, has inadequate information-sharing practices — but only government officials are barred from entry to the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Justice Department is expected to appeal both rulings, meaning this version of the travel ban may also be headed for the Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judge's order was filed one day before Trump's ban was set to take effect. It follows a similar order Tuesday from a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/10/17/federal-judge-in-hawaii-blocks-trumps-third-attempt-at-travel-ban/\">federal judge in Hawaii\u003c/a> in a related case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the third time the administration's proposed travel restrictions have been put on hold by the courts. Both judges say the latest version suffers from the same problems as the first two.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4112212-Md-Memo-Opinion.html\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Maryland injunction is the more limited of this week's rulings. It would allow some of the administration's new restrictions to take effect, but only for people who lack \"a credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States\" — echoing the language \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/06/26/533934989/supreme-court-will-hear-cases-on-president-trumps-travel-ban\">used by the Supreme Court\u003c/a> when it partially restored part of an earlier travel ban in June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two cases had been on the Supreme Court's calendar for the current term, but the court \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/09/25/553490088/supreme-court-removes-cases-over-trumps-travel-ban-from-calendar\">removed them \"pending further order\"\u003c/a> in September, after Trump issued a revised and expanded ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president's ban primarily targeted people from Muslim-majority countries — Chad, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen. In an apparent attempt to avoid the \"Muslim ban\" label that was applied to previous restrictions, Trump's proclamation also included citizens of North Korea and some officials of Venezuela's government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In both Maryland and Hawaii, the judges limited their latest rulings to travelers from the six Muslim-majority countries on the list. North Korea and Venezuela are not affected by these rulings; the restrictions on travel from those countries can go into effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his memorandum opinion, Chuang noted that then-candidate Trump posted a document called \"Statement on Preventing Muslim Immigration\" on his website in December 2015. He also traced other references by Trump, including repeated calls for keeping Muslims out of the U.S. and, once in office, an embrace of the presidential order as a \"travel ban.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After federal judges blocked the president's earlier executive orders, Trump tweeted that the ban should be larger and tougher. \"This Court is obligated to pay attention to such statements,\" Chuang wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The American Civil Liberties Union has been arguing the case on behalf of the IRAP. Omar Jadwat, director of the ACLU's Immigrants' Rights Project, said Wednesday, \"Like the two versions before it, President Trump's latest travel ban is still a Muslim ban at its core. And like the two before it, this one is going down to defeat in the courts. Religious discrimination with window dressing is still unconstitutional.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's latest attempt at a travel ban came in late September, when he issued \u003ca href=\"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/09/27/2017-20899/enhancing-vetting-capabilities-and-processes-for-detecting-attempted-entry-into-the-united-states-by\">Presidential Proclamation 9645\u003c/a>, titled Enhancing Vetting Capabilities and Processes for Detecting Attempted Entry Into the United States by Terrorists or Other Public-Safety Threats.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration argues the travel restrictions are needed to protect national security. Justice Department lawyers say the government conducted an extensive worldwide review of other countries' security and intelligence-sharing practices, and then crafted new, tailored travel restrictions targeting countries that failed to comply with baseline U.S. standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the most recent iteration of the ban, five of the countries had been named in previous versions; a sixth country, Chad, was added to the list, while Sudan was removed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite those changes, the courts found the ban to be tainted by the same problems that tripped up the administration's earlier travel ban orders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"To the extent that the Government might have provided additional evidence to establish that national security is now the primary purpose for the travel ban, it has not done so,\" Chuang wrote in his ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration justified the new travel restrictions in part by referring to a classified report issued by the Department of Homeland Security, dated Sept. 15, 2017. But, Chuang notes, the administration did not share that report with the court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chuang also seems skeptical that the administration has applied its own security findings consistently. For example, Somalia was found to have adequate information-sharing practices, but it's still included in the total ban on immigration. The administration found that Venezuela, meanwhile, has inadequate information-sharing practices — but only government officials are barred from entry to the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Justice Department is expected to appeal both rulings, meaning this version of the travel ban may also be headed for the Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

Bush.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the hardest things to do is to gauge what is the best time to come out,” Walsh said. “A presidential trip involves massive amounts of logistics — helicopters, Secret Service, local police departments.” Coming to a disaster zone too soon, he adds, just diverts essential resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If I were advising the president,” Walsh said, “my counsel would be to let the situation stabilize a little bit and then I would say go to California — go see Jerry Brown.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For those partisan Democrats who can’t stomach the notion of Trump visiting under any circumstances, Schnur notes how the political pendulum swings.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘His handlers should make sure that if and when asked about how Napa wines compare to \u003cem>his\u003c/em> wines, he should exclusively focus on what the feds will be doing to help people.’\u003ccite>Democratic consultant Chris Lehane\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“There will be Californians who don’t want Trump here even for something like this, just as some in deep-red states didn’t want President Obama to visit under similar circumstances,” Schnur said. “At a certain point, just as politicians should put aside partisanship during a crisis, so should voters.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Nurses Association is one of the most effective organizers of political protests. CNA spokesman Chuck Idelson declined to say whether his group would use a California visit by Trump to make a political statement, adding “even though we view \u003cem>him\u003c/em> as a disaster.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If Trump’s coming here, someone needs to challenge him on his climate denial, backing out of the Paris agreement and having an EPA director at war with the planet,” Idelson said, noting climate change is contributing to the hot, dry conditions that are fueling wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everyone should be optimizing for helping people and appealing to their better angels,” says Democratic communications consultant Chris Lehane. He adds that Trump has not always followed that script, a challenge for the president’s staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For example, and I am serious here, his handlers should make sure that if and when asked about how Napa wines compare to \u003cem>his\u003c/em> wines, he should exclusively focus on what the feds will be doing to help people,” Lehane said. “There are some issues that he may confront and that could be a real challenge if he does not focus on the playbook.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No one has been more critical of Trump’s policies — especially on climate change — \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/09/20/gov-jerry-brown-on-climate-change-denier-troglodytes/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">than Gov.

Instead, since taking office, his administration has sought to frame it as a security issue. In the latest order, Trump wrote that the countries being targeted have inadequate vetting processes and don't share information with the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Becerra wrote in the brief that the order treats countries inconsistently and violates multiple constitutional rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California stands to be disproportionately affected by the ban, given its large immigrant population -- including more than 250,000 people from the countries included in the new restrictions, he wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becerra cited the impact on students and faculty members at the state's public universities; the harm to rural, underserved communities that have doctors from impacted countries; and the economic impacts, including an estimated $50 million a year in lost tax revenue from decreased tourism.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The ban serves a political agenda rooted in fear and bias. California will continue to welcome and embrace people of goodwill from all backgrounds, religions, and ethnicities. Any other philosophy is un-American.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becerra and the other attorneys general are\u003ca href=\"https://www.oag.ca.gov/system/files/attachments/press_releases/Motion%20for%20TRO.pdf\"> asking a court to temporarily halt enforcement of the ban\u003c/a> while their \u003ca href=\"https://www.oag.ca.gov/system/files/attachments/press_releases/3AC.pdf\">lawsuit \u003c/a>challenging its constitutionality plays out. In a 64-page brief requesting the restraining order, the states argued that even though non-Muslim countries were added to the order, it is \"still motivated by a discriminatory purpose.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The new order features fresh window dressing, but the core policy remains the same,\" the attorneys general wrote, adding that like the two previous orders, the newest directive \"continues to target Muslim-majority countries, a focus that, together with the President’s history of demagoguery towards Islam, demonstrates that (it) is again motivated by a discriminatory purpose and is irrational.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, like the previous orders, the new one \"will inflict grievous harms on the States and their residents,\" the brief states. \"There is one startling difference: this time, the ban is indefinite.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump first called for a complete ban on travel to the United States by Muslims in December 2015, though he has since denied that he was pushing a religious test. Instead, since taking office, his administration has sought to frame it as a security issue. In the latest order, Trump wrote that the countries being targeted have inadequate vetting processes and don't share information with the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Becerra wrote in the brief that the order treats countries inconsistently and violates multiple constitutional rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California stands to be disproportionately affected by the ban, given its large immigrant population -- including more than 250,000 people from the countries included in the new restrictions, he wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becerra cited the impact on students and faculty members at the state's public universities; the harm to rural, underserved communities that have doctors from impacted countries; and the economic impacts, including an estimated $50 million a year in lost tax revenue from decreased tourism.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

A year later, Trump grew 10-foot ficus trees to block houses he thought were ugly. Those plants blocked residents' views of the ocean, which impact property values in the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an effort to mediate the shrubbery dispute, members of the City Council went with Trump to visit one of the homeowners. According to a former City Council member, who was not there but heard about the meeting through colleagues, Trump walked in, \"looks around the place and he looks at [the homeowner] and he says, 'This looks like s***.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And then he's doing this, by the way, in order to get these people to accept his offer of putting up his ficus trees and being OK,\" former councilman Steve Wolowicz says. \"Gives you a little insight to the kind of person that he — he appeared to be.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NPR talked to three people who were present at the meeting and who requested anonymity. Like several people we talked to for this story, they voiced concern about being sued by Trump. Two of them confirmed Wolowicz's account. The third remembers Trump saying, \"Your house is ugly. My customers should not have to look at your ugly house.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there was a fight over new construction on the property, which led to another lawsuit. And while the city was ready for another row, new members of the council eventually encouraged the city to take a different tack: try giving Trump some of what he wanted. In 2012, the city agreed to Trump's longtime demand that the road leading to the golf club be renamed Trump National Drive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly thereafter, the lawsuit was settled. Trump didn't get everything he asked for. But he did get one thing: that street sign with his name on it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>From businessman to president\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fighting and the insults haven't stopped since Trump reached the Oval Office. His blunt nature is part of why people voted to put him there in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among Trump's targets: the judicial branch, \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/02/16/remarks-president-trump-press-conference\">particularly the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals\u003c/a>, which ruled against his administration's travel ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's on that same appeals court that Smith, the school district's attorney who was once the target of Trump's insult, now sits. Smith was nominated to the position by President George W. Bush and unanimously \u003ca href=\"https://www.congress.gov/nomination/109th-congress/1327\">confirmed by the Senate in 2006\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith did not rule on any of the travel ban cases, says David Madden, assistant circuit executive with the appeals court. And even if he had, Madden wrote in an email, that wouldn't be a problem. Asked whether Smith's history with Trump posed any conflict of interest issues for that case or any other case that may come before the court, Madden wrote simply, \"no.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Kathleen Clark, a professor at Washington University School of Law, says Smith's prior comments about Trump might raise questions for lawyers arguing before the judge. On the other hand, Clark says, Trump's insults toward Smith would likely not play a role in any question of recusal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for Trump's comments raising any conflicts, that question may be unique to this president, she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I can't think of any president, who has acted the way our current president is acting with regard to the name-calling of judges,\" says Clark.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

According to a former City Council member, who was not there but heard about the meeting through colleagues, Trump walked in, \"looks around the place and he looks at [the homeowner] and he says, 'This looks like s***.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And then he's doing this, by the way, in order to get these people to accept his offer of putting up his ficus trees and being OK,\" former councilman Steve Wolowicz says. \"Gives you a little insight to the kind of person that he — he appeared to be.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NPR talked to three people who were present at the meeting and who requested anonymity. Like several people we talked to for this story, they voiced concern about being sued by Trump. Two of them confirmed Wolowicz's account. The third remembers Trump saying, \"Your house is ugly. My customers should not have to look at your ugly house.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there was a fight over new construction on the property, which led to another lawsuit. And while the city was ready for another row, new members of the council eventually encouraged the city to take a different tack: try giving Trump some of what he wanted. In 2012, the city agreed to Trump's longtime demand that the road leading to the golf club be renamed Trump National Drive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly thereafter, the lawsuit was settled. Trump didn't get everything he asked for. But he did get one thing: that street sign with his name on it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>From businessman to president\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fighting and the insults haven't stopped since Trump reached the Oval Office. His blunt nature is part of why people voted to put him there in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among Trump's targets: the judicial branch, \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/02/16/remarks-president-trump-press-conference\">particularly the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals\u003c/a>, which ruled against his administration's travel ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's on that same appeals court that Smith, the school district's attorney who was once the target of Trump's insult, now sits. Smith was nominated to the position by President George W. Bush and unanimously \u003ca href=\"https://www.congress.gov/nomination/109th-congress/1327\">confirmed by the Senate in 2006\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith did not rule on any of the travel ban cases, says David Madden, assistant circuit executive with the appeals court. And even if he had, Madden wrote in an email, that wouldn't be a problem. Asked whether Smith's history with Trump posed any conflict of interest issues for that case or any other case that may come before the court, Madden wrote simply, \"no.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Kathleen Clark, a professor at Washington University School of Law, says Smith's prior comments about Trump might raise questions for lawyers arguing before the judge. On the other hand, Clark says, Trump's insults toward Smith would likely not play a role in any question of recusal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for Trump's comments raising any conflicts, that question may be unique to this president, she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That certainly hasn’t helped there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pointing to Chicago to suggest that gun laws don’t work is not a new talking point — Trump \u003ca href=\"http://www.politifact.com/illinois/statements/2016/nov/03/donald-trump/trump-no-marksman-when-aiming-chicago-gun-laws/\">claimed\u003c/a> Chicago had “the toughest gun laws in the United States” in a 2016 presidential debate; his fellow Republican candidate Chris Christie \u003ca href=\"http://www.ontheissues.org/2016/Chris_Christie_Gun_Control.htm\">likewise pointed to Chicago\u003c/a> as a place with high crime despite tight gun laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”n44byCsO2zR5ykRwe4wwNb8npsPBdV59″]And the rhetoric goes beyond politicians.

It also packs the added rhetorical punch of being closely linked to President Barack Obama, whose actions Trump has worked hard to undo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while gun violence in Chicago is high, the rest of this common talking point doesn’t really hold water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>High crime and tough gun laws\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s true that there were \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/07/508722463/gun-deaths-in-chicago-why-is-this-happening\">more than 4,000 shooting victims\u003c/a> in Chicago in 2016. It’s also true that Chicago has suffered a massive amount of gun crime recently. In 2016, homicides in Chicago sharply rose, mostly as a result of gun homicides, as the University of Chicago crime lab \u003ca href=\"https://urbanlabs.uchicago.edu/attachments/store/2435a5d4658e2ca19f4f225b810ce0dbdb9231cbdb8d702e784087469ee3/UChicagoCrimeLab+Gun+Violence+in+Chicago+2016.pdf\">found in a January report\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gun homicides in the city rose by 61 percent between 2015 and 2016. That helped make the gun homicide rate in Chicago particularly huge compared with similar cities. The rate was 25.1 per 100,000 residents in 2016, compared with 14.7 in Philadelphia and just 2.3 in New York.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also had a relatively high number of guns recovered — 243 per 100,000 residents.

The state is one of seven that requires licenses or permits to buy any firearm, and it’s one of five that requires waiting periods for buying any firearm. The Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, which tracks gun laws nationwide, has given the state a B+ for its gun laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chicago itself has some tough laws — there is an assault-weapons ban in Cook County, for example. But it’s not true that Chicago has the strictest gun laws in the country. At one point, it did have much tougher laws — it had banned handguns in the city limits, but a \u003ca href=\"http://smartgunlaws.org/gun-laws/the-second-amendment/the-supreme-court-the-second-amendment/dc-v-heller/\">2008 Supreme Court ruling\u003c/a> declared that ban unconstitutional, and a \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/06/28/us.scotus.handgun.ban/index.html\">2010 ruling\u003c/a> reaffirmed that. The city also had a gun registry program since 1968, but ended it in 2013 when the state \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/12/us/chicago-city-council-reluctantly-ends-gun-registry.html\">passed a law allowing\u003c/a> the concealed carry of weapons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We generally think of California as having the strongest gun laws in the country,” said Hannah Shearer, a staff attorney at the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. “The whole state’s laws are pretty strong.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The center has given California an A rating and ranks it No. 1 in terms of the tightness of its gun laws. California bans the open carry of guns and requires background checks on private firearm sales, among other things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”fbtZCz27hHjdl0wrjDTklkv0ar01JfEi”]”Some cities go even beyond that,” Shearer added. “San Francisco has a \u003ca href=\"http://smartgunlaws.org/gun-laws/policy-areas/child-consumer-safety/safe-storage/\">safe storage law\u003c/a>, requiring that guns kept in the home are kept locked.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s a regulation that Chicago, for example, does not have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quibbling over exactly what part of the U.S. is No. 1 in terms of gun-law strictness, however, isn’t the most compelling part of Sanders’ statement. She also said that having gun regulations “certainly hasn’t helped” in Chicago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s a much more controversial claim — and it doesn’t stand up to scrutiny.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>State lines don’t stop guns\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s important to remember here that Chicago is very close to two states that have relatively \u003cem>weak\u003c/em> gun laws: Wisconsin and Indiana. So while it’s easy to pick on Chicago (or any other high-crime city) for its ugly statistics, says one expert, taking bordering states into account weakens this gun-advocacy talking point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not a scientific study. It’s an anecdote,” said Philip Cook, a professor of public policy studies at Duke University. “They might have pointed to Washington, D.C., back in the days when D.C. banned handguns and yet had high gun-violence rates. Those bans are only at best partially effective, because the borders are permeable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”o2jm8UKoK12zIcKMW7v8wLzD3VINCH2L”]D.C. borders Virginia, which does not have strong gun laws. (It gets a D from the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neither Wisconsin nor Indiana requires licenses or permits to purchase a gun, for example, nor do they require waiting periods.

It also packs the added rhetorical punch of being closely linked to President Barack Obama, whose actions Trump has worked hard to undo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while gun violence in Chicago is high, the rest of this common talking point doesn’t really hold water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>High crime and tough gun laws\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s true that there were \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/07/508722463/gun-deaths-in-chicago-why-is-this-happening\">more than 4,000 shooting victims\u003c/a> in Chicago in 2016. It’s also true that Chicago has suffered a massive amount of gun crime recently. In 2016, homicides in Chicago sharply rose, mostly as a result of gun homicides, as the University of Chicago crime lab \u003ca href=\"https://urbanlabs.uchicago.edu/attachments/store/2435a5d4658e2ca19f4f225b810ce0dbdb9231cbdb8d702e784087469ee3/UChicagoCrimeLab+Gun+Violence+in+Chicago+2016.pdf\">found in a January report\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gun homicides in the city rose by 61 percent between 2015 and 2016. That helped make the gun homicide rate in Chicago particularly huge compared with similar cities. The rate was 25.1 per 100,000 residents in 2016, compared with 14.7 in Philadelphia and just 2.3 in New York.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also had a relatively high number of guns recovered — 243 per 100,000 residents. That’s roughly on par with Philadelphia and much higher than Los Angeles or New York.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s not true that Chicago has the toughest gun laws in the country, as other \u003ca href=\"http://www.politifact.com/illinois/statements/2017/oct/03/sarah-huckabee-sanders/chicago-toughest-gun-control-claim-shot-full-holes/\">fact-checkers\u003c/a> have also repeatedly found.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘We generally think of California as having the strongest gun laws in the country.’\u003cbr>\n\u003ccite>Hannah Shearer,\u003cbr>\nStaff Attorney, Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>It \u003cem>is\u003c/em> true that Illinois has tougher gun laws than many other states. The state is one of seven that requires licenses or permits to buy any firearm, and it’s one of five that requires waiting periods for buying any firearm. The Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, which tracks gun laws nationwide, has given the state a B+ for its gun laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chicago itself has some tough laws — there is an assault-weapons ban in Cook County, for example. But it’s not true that Chicago has the strictest gun laws in the country. At one point, it did have much tougher laws — it had banned handguns in the city limits, but a \u003ca href=\"http://smartgunlaws.org/gun-laws/the-second-amendment/the-supreme-court-the-second-amendment/dc-v-heller/\">2008 Supreme Court ruling\u003c/a> declared that ban unconstitutional, and a \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/06/28/us.scotus.handgun.ban/index.html\">2010 ruling\u003c/a> reaffirmed that. The city also had a gun registry program since 1968, but ended it in 2013 when the state \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/12/us/chicago-city-council-reluctantly-ends-gun-registry.html\">passed a law allowing\u003c/a> the concealed carry of weapons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We generally think of California as having the strongest gun laws in the country,” said Hannah Shearer, a staff attorney at the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. “The whole state’s laws are pretty strong.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The center has given California an A rating and ranks it No. 1 in terms of the tightness of its gun laws. California bans the open carry of guns and requires background checks on private firearm sales, among other things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>”Some cities go even beyond that,” Shearer added. “San Francisco has a \u003ca href=\"http://smartgunlaws.org/gun-laws/policy-areas/child-consumer-safety/safe-storage/\">safe storage law\u003c/a>, requiring that guns kept in the home are kept locked.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s a regulation that Chicago, for example, does not have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quibbling over exactly what part of the U.S. is No. 1 in terms of gun-law strictness, however, isn’t the most compelling part of Sanders’ statement. She also said that having gun regulations “certainly hasn’t helped” in Chicago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s a much more controversial claim — and it doesn’t stand up to scrutiny.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>State lines don’t stop guns\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s important to remember here that Chicago is very close to two states that have relatively \u003cem>weak\u003c/em> gun laws: Wisconsin and Indiana. So while it’s easy to pick on Chicago (or any other high-crime city) for its ugly statistics, says one expert, taking bordering states into account weakens this gun-advocacy talking point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not a scientific study. It’s an anecdote,” said Philip Cook, a professor of public policy studies at Duke University. “They might have pointed to Washington, D.C., back in the days when D.C. banned handguns and yet had high gun-violence rates. Those bans are only at best partially effective, because the borders are permeable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>D.C. borders Virginia, which does not have strong gun laws. (It gets a D from the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neither Wisconsin nor Indiana requires licenses or permits to purchase a gun, for example, nor do they require waiting periods. While Illinois has that B+ rating from the law center, Wisconsin has a C- and Indiana a D-.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there’s good evidence that being next door to those states keeps Chicago criminals well-supplied with guns.

More than half the savings would go to the top 1 percent — people who earn more than $732,800.

Many of the promised benefits for the middle class, on the other hand, are indirect, speculative and uncertain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the wealthy, the government is promising to cut their tax bill directly, by offering a lower-income tax rate and by doing away with targeted levies such as the alternative minimum tax and the estate tax. The AMT hits only upper-income taxpayers and the estate tax hits only people with nearly $5.5 million in assets (or nearly $11 million for married couples).

The Tax Policy Center estimates the average middle-class taxpayer would get a break of $940 from the GOP plan next year, while a taxpayer in the top 1 percent would save $146,470.

The Tax Policy Center estimates that provision, along with repeal of the corporate AMT, would save corporations nearly $2 trillion over the next decade. Where would that money go? Traditionally, it’s been assumed that most of the savings of a corporate tax cut go to business owners or shareholders, who tend to be upper income. But some portion also goes to workers in the form of higher wages. How those spoils are divided determines the big winner when corporate taxes are reduced. [contextly_sidebar id=”RaSpIKeNoRVD0kyTMDeGfcxR5ofphrMU”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Forecasters at the Congressional Budget Office and the Joint Committee on Taxation, for example, assume that about three-quarters of the savings from a corporate tax cut goes to shareholders, while the remaining one-quarter goes to workers. Until recently, the Treasury Department assumed a similar breakdown, with owners taking the lion’s share and workers receiving about 18 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration argues that a much larger share of corporate tax cuts — 70 percent or more — will ultimately flow to workers. That’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.factcheck.org/2017/09/benefits-corporate-tax-cut/\">far from a consensus view\u003c/a>, but it’s the position advocated by \u003ca href=\"http://www.aei.org/publication/a-spatial-model-of-corporate-tax-incidence/\">Kevin Hassett\u003c/a>, an economist formerly with the conservative American Enterprise Institute who now chairs Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers. If Hassett is correct, that would shift more of the $2 trillion in savings from the corporate tax cut down the income ladder, from wealthy shareholders to middle-class employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Standard deduction vs. personal exemptions\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Backers of the GOP plan say many middle- and working-class families would benefit from the near doubling of the standard deduction. That would exempt the first $12,000 of earnings for individuals and $24,000 for couples from income tax. The higher standard deduction would also free many taxpayers from having to itemize, making tax filing simpler. But while Republicans want to expand this tax break, they’re planning to take away many others, including personal and dependent exemptions, which reduce taxable income by $4,050 for each taxpayer, spouse and dependent in a household.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This combination could leave a couple with two children worse off. Their standard deduction would increase by $11,300 (from $12,700 to $24,000). But their four exemptions, totaling $16,200, would disappear, leaving them with more taxable income and a higher tax bill. For couples with three or more children, the situation is potentially worse. This might be offset by a larger child tax credit Republicans have promised, but that depends on details that have not yet been worked out. In addition, taxpayers who continue to itemize would lose their personal exemptions without the offsetting benefit of a larger standard deduction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Tax Policy Center estimates that boosting the standard deduction will leave an extra $830 billion in taxpayers’ pockets over the next decade, while eliminating personal and dependent exemptions will increase taxes by $1.6 trillion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>State and local tax deduction\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans have promised to preserve the tax deductions for mortgage interest and charitable giving, along with unspecified tax incentives for retirement savings, work and higher education. Most other tax breaks are on the chopping block, but the only one that lawmakers and the administration have singled out for elimination is the deduction for state and local taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘One of the things we’re trying to do is eliminate lots and lots of deductions.’\u003ccite>Steven Mnuchin, Treasury Secretary\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“One of the things we’re trying to do is eliminate lots and lots of deductions,” Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “One of those deductions is about getting the federal government out of the business of subsidizing the states.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If state and local taxes were no longer deductible, the federal government would collect an extra $1.3 trillion over the next decade, according to Tax Policy Center. The move would particularly hurt taxpayers in relatively high-tax states, many of which lean Democratic. According to the \u003ca href=\"https://taxfoundation.org/state-and-local-tax-deduction-primer/\">Tax Foundation\u003c/a>, more than half the total value of the deduction is claimed by taxpayers in just six states — California, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Texas and Pennsylvania.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the exception of Texas, all of those are blue states. But as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., points out, there are many taxpayers in GOP districts who would be unhappy to see the deduction for state and local taxes taken away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My guess is you’re going to have 30, 40, 50 Congress members — Republican — who say, ‘I can’t vote for this because it raises taxes on my core constituency,’ ” Schumer said on Sept. 27, the day the plan was released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The role of economic growth \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration and congressional Republicans describe their tax plan as a key ingredient in the recipe for faster economic growth. They’re counting on that to boost federal revenues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We believe there will be $2 trillion of additional growth” over the next decade, Mnuchin told ABC’s “This Week.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many independent observers think that’s overly optimistic, especially with the economy near full employment, an aging workforce and an administration determined to limit immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘We shouldn’t try to pay for things with wishful thinking.’\u003ccite>Maya MacGuineas, President, Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“We’ve seen a lot of modeling of tax plans before and we’ve seen what’s happened when we’ve reformed the tax code before,” said MacGuineas. “You can grow the economy by — perhaps if it’s done well — a couple of additional tenths-of-a percent of GDP. And that would be great. We should celebrate getting that done. But we should also be realistic and we shouldn’t try to pay for things with wishful thinking.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Tax Policy Center says it expects the GOP plan would have “little macroeconomic feedback effect on revenues over the first decade.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Effect on deficits and debt\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tax cuts in the GOP proposal would reduce government revenues by trillions of dollars. Some of that would be offset by closing (mostly unspecified) loopholes. But the Tax Policy Center still predicts an extra $2.4 trillion in red ink over the next decade. If Republicans’ promised level of economic growth fails to materialize, all of that would be added to the federal debt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That worries deficit hawks like Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn. He expects to raise some revenue by eliminating tax breaks and through economic growth. But Corker told NBC’s Chuck Todd that he’s not willing to put the balance on the government’s credit card.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If it looks like to me, Chuck, we’re adding one penny to the deficit, I am not going to be for it, OK?” said Corker, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/09/26/553798939/tennessee-republican-sen-bob-corker-wont-seek-reelection-in-2018\">who is not planning to run for re-election\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With a narrow two-vote majority in the Senate, Republicans can ill afford further defections.\u003c/p>\n\n",

They’re counting on that to boost federal revenues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We believe there will be $2 trillion of additional growth” over the next decade, Mnuchin told ABC’s “This Week.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many independent observers think that’s overly optimistic, especially with the economy near full employment, an aging workforce and an administration determined to limit immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘We shouldn’t try to pay for things with wishful thinking.’\u003ccite>Maya MacGuineas, President, Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“We’ve seen a lot of modeling of tax plans before and we’ve seen what’s happened when we’ve reformed the tax code before,” said MacGuineas. “You can grow the economy by — perhaps if it’s done well — a couple of additional tenths-of-a percent of GDP. And that would be great. We should celebrate getting that done. But we should also be realistic and we shouldn’t try to pay for things with wishful thinking.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Tax Policy Center says it expects the GOP plan would have “little macroeconomic feedback effect on revenues over the first decade.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Effect on deficits and debt\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tax cuts in the GOP proposal would reduce government revenues by trillions of dollars. Some of that would be offset by closing (mostly unspecified) loopholes. But the Tax Policy Center still predicts an extra $2.4 trillion in red ink over the next decade. If Republicans’ promised level of economic growth fails to materialize, all of that would be added to the federal debt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That worries deficit hawks like Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn. He expects to raise some revenue by eliminating tax breaks and through economic growth. But Corker told NBC’s Chuck Todd that he’s not willing to put the balance on the government’s credit card.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If it looks like to me, Chuck, we’re adding one penny to the deficit, I am not going to be for it, OK?” said Corker, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/09/26/553798939/tennessee-republican-sen-bob-corker-wont-seek-reelection-in-2018\">who is not planning to run for re-election\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
