Police to Enforce Immigration Laws in Costa Mesa<\/strong>
\nGUESTS: Bishop Jaime Soto with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange County, Arnoldo Garcia, Coordinator of Enforcement and Justice Program at the National Network for Immigrant and Refugee Rights<\/em><\/p>\n

On December 7th the City Council of Costa Mesa approved by a 3-2 vote, to train Costa Mesa police in immigration law enforcement. The vote was reached shortly after 1 a.m. and followed several hours of public comments by numerous speakers. Scaled back from the original proposal introduced by mayor Allan Mansoor, which would have extended enforcement duties to patrol officers, the approved plan will allow undocumented immigrants to be reported by investigators and certain jail personnel. The Costa Mesa plan seeks to be a replication of the Orange County Sheriff\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s proposal to formalize the relationship between U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and local agencies. If formalized, Costa Mesa would become the first city in the nation to have such an agreement. Concerned residents worry that such a move would create a climate of fear and division in the community. In fact, the City Council decision comes on the heels of the closing down of a day-laborer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s center in Costa Mesa that has angered many residents. <\/p>\n

Palestinian Authority Elections – an Assessment<\/strong>
\nGUEST: Mahmoud Ibrahim, Professor of History at Cal Poly Pomona<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Hamas\"This August Israel officially ended its 38-year occupation of the Gaza Strip and four West Bank settlements, when the last of the over 8,600 Jewish settlers left the region. Gaza was recently turned over to the Palestinian National Authority. However, Israel just announced that it will impose an “aerial siege” on parts of Gaza, with troops shooting from helicopters or gunboats at anyone entering a so-called “no-go zone” near the border, as part of a new campaign. Gaza has been a stronghold of the Palestinian organization Hamas which plans to participate in upcoming legislative elections scheduled for January 25. The US House of Representatives passed a resolution 397-14, on December 16 that conditioned future financial aid to the Palestinian Authority on the exclusion of Hamas from the election. The European Union has joined the US in this call. Hamas recently won by a landslide in local elections in several West Bank towns. The Israeli Foreign Ministry warned that “If Hamas was ever to become a dominant force in Palestinian politics, that would be the end of the peace process.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
