and Dream Act children,two reporters (one conser-vative, the other liberal)address the same issuefrom each political per-spective, Colli said.From the script:Cristina (a conservative
reporter): “Allowing DACAto stay intact will encour-age illegal immigration andcontribute to a surge ofunaccompanied minorswho are protected fromfollowing proper immigra-tion procedure.”Morgan (a liberal report-
er): “The allegation thatDreamers are more likelyto commit crimes than UScitizens is contradicted bythe reality of the situation.To retain DACA status,Dreamers cannot pose athreat to public safety.”Executive producer Ruth
Gordon has been at thehelm of Holocaust ImpactTheater for 14 years. Now
retired, she spent 35 yearsteaching children, instillingthem with the importanceof being a good citizen anderadicating hate.“I love young adults.
They’re our future. If wedon’t make sure they areon track, then what?” Gor-don said. “They impact mylife. Every year I am in aweof these kids.”For many of them,
“Standby” has been theirfirst experience in theater.Neal Salgado, 17, is a
student actor making hisstage debut. The CoralReef junior plays a journal-ist whose nephew dies as aresult of police brutality.Salgado hopes the play
will help the audiencebecome more sociallyaware. “I feel like I’m do-ing something good, hon-estly,” said Salgado,“showing a lot of peoplethese issues and raising
awareness.”The production will be
recorded by a three-personvideo documentary crew,comprised of high schoolstudents. The documentarycrew hope their finishedfilm is good enough toenter in film festivals nextyear.Jackson Ribler, 18, a
senior at Coral Reef, is partof the documentary crew.Recording the productionwill allow the play’s mes-sage to reach students atother schools, raisingawareness and ideas oftolerance.“We are trying to capture
the show itself,” Riblersaid. “The important partof it is showing how differ-ent it is than any othertheatrical production. Youhave kids that do not haveany theater experience,that aren’t savvy with act-ing, that are coming outand doing this. There is astory, and there is a mes-sage.”

E l Gobierno de Mé-xico ha mantenidoconversacionesinternas sobre
cómo “manipular” a JaredKushner, el yerno del presi-dente, Donald Trump,aprovechando su complejoentramado de interesesfinancieros y su falta deexperiencia en políticaexterior, informó el martesThe Washington Post.Los Gobiernos de Israel,
China y Emiratos ÁrabesUnidos (EAU) también handebatido de forma internaen sus respectivas capitales
sobre cómo aprovecharsedel yerno y asesor deTrump para impulsar susintereses, según el Post.Esos países veían una
vulnerabilidad en Kushnerdebido a “sus complejosacuerdos de negocios, susdificultades financieras y sufalta de experiencia enpolítica exterior”, indica eldiario, que cita a funciona-rios y exfuncionarios esta-dounidenses que han acce-dido a informes de inteli-gencia sobre el tema.Por ese motivo, los con-
tactos de Kushner con cier-tos funcionarios extranjeroshan generado preocupaciónen la Casa Blanca y son unade las razones por las que
no ha podido obtener hastaahora un permiso perma-nente de acceso a informa-ción confidencial, según lasfuentes.Hasta la semana pasada,
Kushner tenía acceso ainformación de “alto secre-to” del Gobierno gracias aun permiso temporal conce-dido por la Casa Blanca,pero no había logrado unopermanente porque paraello las agencias de seguri-dad debían completar unainvestigación sobre susantecedentes, que en sucaso sigue abierta.El pasado viernes, la
Casa Blanca rebajó a unnivel inferior, considerado“secreto”, el tipo de infor-
mación clasificada a la quepuede acceder Kushner,debido a los retrasos en suinvestigación de anteceden-tes, según informaron elmiercoles varios medios.A algunos funcionarios
de la Casa Blanca les preo-cupa que Kushner haya sido“ingenuo” en sus contactoscon funcionarios extranje-ros, algunos de los cualesinsistían en hablar solodirectamente con el yernode Trump y no con personalmás experimentado, segúnaseguró al Post unexfuncionario.El yerno de Trump man-
tiene desde la campañaelectoral estadounidense de2016 una cercana relacióncon el canciller de México,Luis Videgaray, quien suelereunirse con él en sus fre-cuentes visitas aWashington.Kushner es el principal
punto de contacto en elGobierno de Trump paraVidegaray, quien mantieneuna relación mucho menosestrecha con su homólogo,el secretario de Estado esta-dounidense Rex Tillerson.El Washington Post no
mencionó a Videgaray en suartículo, aunque sí citó a
una fuente diplomáticamexicana, que pidió elanonimato y aseguró queKushner “ha mantenido(un comportamiento) es-trictamente profesional”en su relación con el paísvecino.“Ambos lados han perse-
guido sus intereses, perotambién han tratado deencontrar puntos en co-mún”, dijo la fuentemexicana.Según el rotativo, los
Emiratos Árabes Unidosdetectaron el año pasado elpotencial de Kushner paraser manipulado porque sufamilia estaba buscandoposibles inversores en sucompañía inmobiliaria.No está claro, sin embar-
go, si alguno de los cuatropaíses citados llegó a mani-pular exitosamente a Kus-hner, subraya el diario.Aunque ahora ya infor-
ma al Consejo de todas susconversaciones, el tema hadespertado la atención delfiscal especial que investi-ga la trama rusa, RobertMueller, quien está intere-sado en los protocolosusados por el yerno deTrump para sus contactoscon extranjeros, según elPost.

E l vicepresidentede Estados Uni-dos, Mike Pence,auguró el martes
el fin de la práctica legaldel aborto “en nuestrotiempo”, consagrada en elpaís norteamericano des-de 1973.“Si todos hacemos todo
lo que está en nuestrasmanos, podemos restituir,otra vez y en nuestro tiem-po, la santidad de la vidaen la ley estadounidense”,dijo Pence durante un actode una organización antia-bortista en Nashville,Tennessee.“En lo mas profundo de
mi corazón -añadió-, séque esta será la genera- ción que restaurará la
vida en Estados Unidos”.El Tribunal Supremo de
Estados Unidos legalizó elaborto en 1973 al declararinconstitucional cualquierinterferencia del Estadoen la decisión de la mujersobre el embarazo.No obstante, en los
últimos años varios esta-dos han obstaculizado elacceso al aborto al pro-mulgar restricciones am-paradas en los derechosreligiosos.Por su lado, el presiden-
te estadounidense,Donald Trump, tambiénha creado un grupo den-tro de su Gobierno desti-nado a defender a losdoctores que, alegandomotivos religiosos, seniegan a practicarabortos.Asimismo, ha prohibido
el uso de fondos públicospara financiar a organiza-ciones que practican elaborto en el extranjero.Todo esto llevó a Pence
a definirle como el “presi-dente más pro-vida” de lahistoria.

your seat belts … it’s goingto be a bumpy ride acrossrodents and rodent drop-pings noted on recent staterestaurant inspections inMiami-Dade and Broward

record 16 establishmentsmake this the Rodent Re-port. And the quantity ismatched by lack of quality—two places were shutdown on re-inspectionafter passing inspection.And two restaurants gotshut down twice in thisreport.As always, we present
these without passion orprejudice, but with two
tablespoons of humor. Asusual, we start with therestaurants shut down forthe day (or more) wholly orpartially on rodent pres-ence.
AAlegria Taco, 3801 N.Andrews Ave., OaklandPark — This might be thefirst restaurant on the Ro-dent Report to get caughton the comeback.A Warning Issued, but
no rodent problems onFeb. 8. But when the in-
spector swung back by onFeb. 9, “five fresh rodentdroppings found under-neath the three-compart-ment sink and three dryrodent droppings found inkitchen underneath thehandwashing sink.”And, that was the end of

to support the decision of the DRB. In order to reverse or remand the
DRB Order, a five-sevenths (5/7) vote of the City Commission is required.
This appeal hearing is open to viewing by the public, but it is not a
