WINNIPEG, Manitoba/BUFFALO, N.Y.—Refugees in the United States fearing a worsening climate of xenophobia in the wake of a divisive U.S. presidential campaign are flocking to Canada in growing numbers. Manitoba's Welcome Place refugee agency helped 91 claimants between Nov. 1 and Jan. 25—more than the agency normally sees in a year. Most braved the freezing prairie winter to walk into Canada. http://www.bemidjipioneer.com/news/4212856-worried-about-trump-asylum-seekers-walk-cold-road-nd-canadian-border...
The game-winning jersey Tom Brady wore en route to his record fourth Super Bowl MVP award was still missing Monday morning. NFL.com posted a locker room video Sunday night showing Brady telling New England Patriots team owner Robert Kraft, "Someone stole my game jersey." Kraft replies, jokingly, "You'd better look online." http://www.bemidjipioneer.com/sports/4212702-texas-rangers-called-help-find-bradys-game-worn-super-bowl-jersey...

WASHINGTON — The Senate was poised on Tuesday to confirm President Donald Trump's nominee for education secretary by the narrowest possible margin, with Vice President Mike Pence expected to break a 50-50 tie, despite a last-ditch effort by Democrats to sink the nomination. The vote was expected after an all-night speaking marathon by Democrats on the Senate floor, in a show of opposition to the candidacy of Betsy DeVos. She is a wealthy GOP donor who has devoted herself to promoting charter schools and private school vouchers, sparking c...
Minnesota would become one of the first states in the nation with a “public option” in the marketplace for individual health insurance under a plan pitched by Gov. Mark Dayton and endorsed Monday by two outstate DFL legislators. Private health insurance options are dwindling for rural Minnesotans, said Rep. Clark Johnson, DFL-North Mankato, so opening more space in the 25-year-old MinnesotaCare program makes sense. http://www.startribune.com/dayton-seeks-quick-vote-on-minnesotacare-buy-in/412915013/...
A onetime girls soccer coach for Champlin Park High School has agreed to plead guilty to sexual misconduct involving a 13-year-old boy in his north metro bedroom, with the possibility that the case will later be dismissed. Rebecca L. Noonan, 33, of Minneapolis, pleaded guilty last week in Anoka County District Court to fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct in connection with her having intercourse with the boy in his Ramsey home in August or September 2014 while his mother was away. http://www.startribune.com/plea-deal-for-o...
The former chief medical officer and former chief security officer of Minnesota Medical Solutions, or MMS, one of the state’s two manufacturers of medical marijuana, are accused of diverting more than a half-million dollars worth of cannabis oil from Minnesota to an out-of-state facility and altering records to disguise the transaction, according to court documents filed Monday. Dr. Laura L. Bultman, 41, of Apple Valley, and Ronald D. Owens, 45, of Otsego, Minn., each were charged in Wright County District Court with two felony counts of i...
Almost a decade after it all began, the Federal Reserve is finally talking about unwinding its grand experiment in monetary policy. And when it happens, the knock-on effects in the bond market could pose a threat to the U.S. housing recovery. Just how big is hard to quantify. But over the past month, a number of Fed officials have openly discussed the need for the central bank to reduce its bond holdings, which it amassed as part of its unprecedented quantitative easing during and after the financial crisis. The talk has prompted some on Wall...
Silicon Valley is stepping up its confrontation with the Trump administration. On Sunday night, Uber, Twitter, Netflix and other prominent tech companies are planning to file legal brief opposing the administration’s contentious travel ban on immigrants, according to people familiar with the matter. http://www.startribune.com/uber-twitter-netflix-and-other-tech-giants-to-call-travel-ban-unlawful-in-rare-coordinated-legal-action/412850623/...
WASHINGTON — The Latest on the reaction to a court order blocking U.S. President Donald Trump's ban on travelers and immigrants from seven predominantly Muslim countries (all times Eastern): 1:30 p.m. The Justice Department has appealed a judge's order blocking his travel ban at the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco, citing the "sovereign prerogative" of a president to admit or exclude aliens. http://www.startribune.com/the-latest-qatar-airline-allowing-muslims-to-travel-to-us/412767603/...
The U.S. Army may decide by week's end whether to approve construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline across North Dakota's Lake Oahe and lands claimed sacred by Sioux Indian tribes. Justice Department lawyer Matthew Marinelli outlined the planned timeline for the Army's decision to a federal judge in Washington hearing a three-way dispute over the planned path of the Energy Transfer Partners LP-led project. Marinelli didn't say which way the decision might go. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/ct-dakota-access-p...
Standing Rock Sioux Tribe officials said this weekend that although they were working with federal authorities to stabilize the situation at the Dakota Access Pipeline protest site, they were not calling on law enforcement to forcibly remove activists there. After months of protests, both tribal officials and residents in the town of Cannon Ball, N.D., have asked those opposed to completion of the controversial, 1,170-mile pipeline to leave. A few hundred activists remain, both on the Standing Rock Sioux’s reservation and on neighboring l...
Jenni Monet, a Native American journalist, was arrested last week while covering Standing Rock. You’d think that would trigger a lot of support from the national and regional news media. There is an idea in law enforcement called the “thin blue line.” It basically means that police work together. A call goes out from Morton County and, right or wrong, law enforcement from around the country provides back up. You would think journalism would be like that too. https://trahantreports.com/2017/02/06/journalism-fail-standing-rock...
PEMBROKE - Some members of the Lumbee tribe are pushing to recall Chairman Harvey Godwin Jr. The Chairman Harvey Godwin Recall Community Group plans to meet Thursday to prioritize its concerns, such as unfulfilled promises and lack of transparency on tribal issues. The group needs about 1,300 signatures on a petition to initiate a recall election. http://www.fayobserver.com/news/local/some-in-lumbee-tribe-pushing-for-recall-of-chairman-harvey/article_c0410048-0fa0-52a8-9cf8-735515fbe7fd.html...
Finding and retaining qualified doctors, nurses, teachers and cops to serve in Native American communities is hard enough. A federal hiring freeze will make the situation worse and is breaking the federal government’s trust responsibility to tribes, a group of Democratic senators said in a letter this week to President Donald J. Trump. http://www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_news/federal-hiring-freeze-expected-to-put-native-services-in-peril/article_32089295-7069-5f73-bbf7-3d3ed7740523.html...
A memo leaked on January 24th, 2017 finds the White House issuing a gag order on all of the bureaus that fall under the Department of the Interior. Bureaus include; the Bureau of Land Management, US Fish and Wildlife Service, National Park Service, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), Bureau of Indian Affairs, and others. It states, “all incoming congressional and gubernatorial correspondence as well as correspondence from Indian or Alaska tribal leaders and leaders from national level environment/recreational and industry organizations m...
The House Subcommittee on Indian, Insular and Alaska Native Affairs is getting a reboot after going through a rough patch in the last session of Congress. The panel was known as somewhat of a bipartisan refuge for tribes until Republicans added Insular areas to its jurisdiction over the objections of Democrats back in January 2015. That was seen as a major change because those territories do not share the same legal or political status as tribal governments. https://www.indianz.com/News/2017/02/03/house-panel-with-jursdictio...
Sen. Mike Rounds is taking aim at outdated and "offensive" statutes imposed on Native Americans stretching back more than 100 years to try to assimilate or subjugate tribes that are still part of current law even though they haven't been enforced in decades. "We took a look at these laws that are way outdated — we went and picked out some of the most absurd and asked that they be taken off the books," he told the Washington Examiner. "Some are just crazy." http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/rounds-aims-to-expunge-offensive-na...
Heiltsuk Chief Marilyn Slett says the Central Coast First Nation should be given more power to deal with emergencies after waiting over 48 hours to hear from the province as a wildfire burned near Bella Bella. At around midnight, between Feb. 3 and 4, power to Bella Bella was knocked out during a windstorm. Around the same time a wildfire could be seen burning on neighbouring Denny Island. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/b-c-first-nation-upset-it-took-over-48-hours-for-the-province-to-respond-to-a-wildfire-nea...
After a nearly two-year investigation, RCMP have charged a man in relation to the death of Sara-Jean Big Sorrel Horse of the Blood First Nation. On June 27, 2015, Big Sorrel Horse was found unresponsive before being taken to hospital, where she was pronounced dead. After an autopsy, police ruled her cause of a death a homicide. http://globalnews.ca/news/3229069/alberta-rcmp-charge-man-in-relation-to-death-of-blood-tribe-first-nation-woman/...
IRVING — A Cattaraugus Indian Reservation resident appears to be getting well acquainted with local law enforcement. Lewrence R. Henhawk, 44, has seen the inside of a police car twice in just eight days. On Jan. 29, he was taken into custody by the New York State Police for allegedly assaulting his live-in girlfriend in front of their baby and two other children. While troopers were on scene, they noticed marijuana and cocaine in plain view, according to reports. Henhawk was charged then with seventh-degree criminal possession of a c...
When Eva Yassie got a call from RCMP last summer her heart soared, she said. That's because they'd finally offered to take a DNA sample from her, to help find and identify her long-missing sister. Months later, however, that still hasn't happened. "I never heard from them again, not even a phone call," Yassie told the CBC. "I don't understand why." http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/months-later-missing-teen-s-sister-still-waiting-for-promised-dna-test-1.3965930...
BEREA, Ohio -- For nearly four decades, Louie Williams took trips to major cities throughout the country searching the crowds for his missing brother. But on Friday, the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner's Office identified James "Jim" Francis Williams as the man killed by a train Nov. 14, 1980 in Berea. http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2017/02/family_relieved_after_investig.html...
Democrats are speaking on the Senate floor for 24 hours in a last-ditch effort to derail the confirmation of Betsy DeVos, President Trump’s nominee for education secretary. “Now is the time to put country before party,” said Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.), urging GOP senators to join Democrats in opposing DeVos, a Michigan billionaire and major Republican donor who has spent decades advocating the use of public funds to help parents pay tuition at private and religious schools. https://www.washingtonpost.com/new...
