While applicants must file paperwork before age It the Tromp administration has said some are too old to quality once they turn 18. U.S. denies green cards to young migrants due to age RV AMT TAXIS! AND EEm'1 NAIELA Associated Am LOS ANGELIS Some immigrant youth looking to start over in the United States deer fleeing abusive homes are seeing their applications for green cards rejected because the Trump administration says they're too old. A U.S. government pro- gram in place since 1990 has let young immigrants subject to abuse, abandon- ment, or neglect by a parent guardian and a green card to stay in the country. While applicants must file paperwork before age 21, the Trump administration has said some are too old to qualify once they turn 18, prompting a nuny of denial notices over the past year in New York, Texas, and Cali- fornia and additional ques- tions of applicants in New jersey. Immigrant advocates have filed lawsuits in New York and California and said hundreds of young people could be affected by the seek a roust -appointed change. "This administration is literally going after some of the most vulnerable people trying to seek relief," said Mary Tanagho Ross, an attorney at the Los Angeles - based Public Counsel's immigrant -sights project. The Trump administration has been pushing to harden the U.S. border and slash immigration with a series of steps targeting Central American children who arrive on the border alone or with relatives. Former At- torney General Jeff Sessions sought to snake it tougher for young immigrants flee- ing gangs or domestic vio- lence to wan asylum — though some guidance he issued such cases was recently blocked by a federal judge. And the US. govern- ment has been slower to release immigrant children caught on the border to family in the country. The program is the best clan for many of the thousands of young im- migrants arriving on the border to be allowed to stay in the U.S. Under US. law, they can apply for green cards once a designated court in the US. state where they live assigns them a guardian and dedares they e eligible to apply. A now-22-year-old woman in Northern California, who requested anonymity out of tear the US. government will retaliue against her for speaking out, fled her Me, lean immigrant patents' home in high school after her father repeatedly beat her. She was taken in by a teacher, who helped her get started in college and took care of her when she was diagnosed with cancer. When a judge formally turned the teacher her legal guardian it was a huge relief, she said. But she later learned the U.S. government wouldn't accept the court's order for her green -card application. She dropped t0 the floor and sobbed, she said. "I just couldn't believe I was going to have to try to defend myself again," she said. "I don't refer to her by her name or that she's my guardian — 1 just call her mom." More than 50,000 young Immigrants have obtained green cards by qualifying for special immigrant juvenile status since 2010. The over- whelming majority of appli- cations have been approved by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, mak- ing the program • safer bet for many immigrant children seeking refuge in the United States than pleading a case before an immigration offi- ce or judge for asylum. Applications to the pro- gram have surged in recent years, rising more than three -fold between the 2014 and 2017 fiscal years, federal data shows. During that time, the number of denials also increased, with 2,000 applications rejected over the past two fiscal years — more than all of the previous seven years combined. U.S. Citizenship and Im- migration Services officials said they could not com- ment on pending litigation. It seems like the flu but it's more dangerous, and the CDC has issued a warning to parents ay HOWARD WHEN letdiewad,nMwaw+l/saw Parents may think it's a cold or even the flu. But just before the new year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a warning that parents or guardians of children un- der the age of 1 ought to monitor symptom, like a runny nose, a decrease to appetite or consumption of liquids, coughing, sneez- ing, fever or wheezing. That cold or flu could actually be Respiratory Syncyual Virus (RSV). RSV usually clears up On its own. But if it hasn't and the symptoms have persist- ed — especially if the baby seems dehydrated — the CDC urges parents to con - tat their pediatrician. RSV could lead to bronchitis and pneumonia an children under the age of 1. The elderly are also vulnerable to this virus, so they should call their phy- sician under the same cir cumstances. There's no spell treat- ment for RSV infection, though researcher are working to develop vaccines and medications to fight the vi rus, the CDC said. If hospitalization is re- quired, doctors will ,nooUy amubate the patient with a breathing tube or a machine to help with breading. Here are some precautions you can take nowt •Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds; •Try not to touch you face with unwashed hands; • Cover your mouth when you have to sneeze cough; or• Stay home when you're sick — your boss and col- leagues will appreciate t2at courtesy In the long run.
