WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump's choice to fill the role of Kirstjen Nielsen as secretary of Homeland Security is a career official who served in the Obama administration and whom a senior DHS official says is "not an ideologue or fire breather" on immigration.Kevin McAleenan, who is taking over DHS in an acting capacity, was serving as the commissioner of US Customs and Border Protection before Sunday's announcement. He was confirmed as commissioner by the Senate in March 2018 by a vote of 77-19.He is expected to serve as the acting secretary "in the short term," according to a White House official. Nielsen should be staying for a week of transition, another White House official said.The senior DHS official told CNN McAleenan is "not an ideologue or fire breather" on immigration like White House senior adviser Stephen Miller or Trump. This official wondered how McAleenan will fit in as Miller has placed several political appointees in the department who follow the immigration hardliner's marching orders.Another senior DHS official said, "he's good at what he does. Every role he has had, he's improved conditions. I expect this will be the same." But another administration official cautioned that although McAleenan "knows border and immigration," he "may not know the rest of DHS."McAleenan also has shared some of Nielsen's frustrations with Trump over his demands from the department, two US officials familiar with his thinking said. He's also viewed warily by some of the White House immigration hardliners, led by Miller, who has Trump's ear on the issues he views as key to his re-election prospects.McAleenan is a career official who previously served as the deputy commissioner during President Barack Obama's administration. As commissioner of CBP, he oversaw 60,000 employees and managed a budget of more than billion, according to the department's website.Last month, McAleenan said the "breaking point has arrived" for the US immigration system, and said CBP encountered the largest total number of migrants in years, with more than 4,000 in a single day, the vast majority of which were apprehensions of people crossing the border illegally. He announced he was moving 750 officers from "key roles" at the ports of entry to help Border Patrol care for migrants, including helping with processing and transportation.He was scheduled to lead a news conference Monday morning to discuss the monthly southern border apprehension numbers, but it was postponed "due to recent breaking news."In December, after two migrant children died in custody of US border officials, McAleenan reiterated calls for Congress to provide more funding to handle the influx of migrants crossing the border. That month, two Guatemalan children died after they were detained with their fathers after crossing the US-Mexico border.McAleenan received the Presidential Rank Award in 2015, according to the department's website, and also received the Service to America Medal and Call to Service Award in 2005 for spearheading anti-terrorism efforts at the border after the September 11, 2001 terrorism attacks. 3145

Voters in Denver, Colorado may soon have another big decision to make this coming May.In a place where pot is already permitted, is it ready for magic mushrooms as well?A group advocating the decriminalization of mushrooms Denver turned in more than enough signatures to qualify the measure for the ballot this May.The group of backers, Decriminalize Denver, said it had submitted more than 9,000 signatures to the Denver County Board of Elections. Of those, at least 4,726 signatures must be valid to qualify the measure which is called the Denver Psilocybin Mushroom Decriminalization Initiative.Voters could make Denver the first city in the country to decriminalize psychedelic mushrooms.While there are plenty of people who would be happy to see this happen, others believe it's a long, strange trip the Mile High City can't afford to take.This is uncharted territory. So, Denver7 is going 360 to explore it.Kevin Matthews is the man who has high hopes of taking the measure to the May ballot.“Denver has a strong history of drug policy reform," Matthews said. “The timing is right, and we’ve modeled our language on this initiative after cannabis legislation in 2005 and 2007.”Matthews says shrooms have helped him break his own cycle of depression. "Mushrooms have enabled me to look outside the box that depression creates," he said. “We’re working to keep people out of prison for non-violent drug offenses. A drug that has proven medical value and is non-addictive.”But Jeff Hunt adamantly disagrees."This is a psychedelic drug where you're typically going to go into some type of trip that could last three to six hours,” said Hunt, vice president of public policy for Colorado Christian University and director of the think tank The Centennial Institute.Hunt wonders how far it will all go. First it was weed, then supervised injection sites for heroin and opioid addicts and now decriminalizing psychedelic shrooms."It's a terrible idea,” Hunt said. “Denver is quickly becoming the illicit drug capital of the world. The truth is we have no idea what the long-term health effects of these drugs are going to do to the people of Colorado."While the Denver Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown Denver Partnership have taken no position on the issue yet, Hunt sees a definite economic downside."At a certain point, parents are going to look at the city of Denver and say, 'I don't want to take my kids to that city,'" Hunt said. “And I don't think tourists are going to want to come to this state."In a statement, the Downtown Denver Partnership said, “At this time, the Downtown Denver Partnership has not convened our Board to review this proposed initiative and determine whether or not we will take an opinion.”The matrix gets even more complex with patients like Chris who has end-stage spinal and brain tumors."The mushrooms seem to have calmed them better than any drugs that they've been able to give me,” Chris said. He asked us not to use his last name. “I'm not saying it's a panacea, or that it's for everyone. I just want to be comfortable."And still, others argue shrooms are less habit-forming than opioids or other drugs."We need to see the therapeutic benefits that are there," said signature gatherer Hope Mellinger. “And create an environment where people can talk about set, setting and dose."Those 9,000 signatures are now under review, as the future of fungus fuels a fiery debate."It is a medicine," argued Matthews. “Right now, individuals are facing jail time, or could lose their jobs and their families. Frankly, that’s absurd for a substance that has proven to be non-addictive, non-habit forming and non-violent.”Hunt argued the studies on the drug are inconclusive at best.“Let’s slow down,” Hunt said. “Let’s do the research. We have a process in this country that’s called the FDA that looks at this. And if it concludes it’s beneficial, by all means – let’s get behind it. I'm concerned we're going in the wrong direction - rather than really encouraging people to lead healthy and productive lives." 4086

When Angela Walker went through her son's school folder, she was shocked to find what the fifth grader had been working on in class.A social studies assignment from Blades Elementary School in Oakville, Missouri, had asked some students, including her biracial son, to imagine that they work in the slave trade. Then it prompted them to set a price for a slave."You own a plantation or farm and therefore need more workers. You begin to get involved in the slave trade industry and have slaves work on your farm. Your product to trade is slaves.Set your price for a slave. _____________ These could be worth a lot.You may trade for any items you'd like," one of the questions in the exercise read.That question was one among 12 that school Principal Jeremy Booker said "attempted to address market practices."Other questions asked students to set a price for items such as a bushel of grain, a piece of lumber and a jug of milk. At the end of the exercise, students were asked to reflect on a free market economy and whether they'd consider themselves wealthy given the money and items they had left over."As part of both the Missouri Learning Standards for fifth-grade Social Studies and the fifth-grade Mehlville School District curriculum, students were learning about having goods, needing goods and obtaining goods and how that influenced early settlement in America," Booker wrote in a letter sent to families at the school on Monday."Some students who participated in this assignment were prompted to consider how plantation owners traded for goods and slaves."Assignment was 'culturally insensitive'The assignment was "culturally insensitive," Booker wrote, and he said the teacher had expressed "significant remorse."As the Mehlville School District continues to investigate, the teacher has been placed on administrative leave, the district confirmed to CNN. Booker also wrote that he was working to train all teachers and staff at the school about "cultural bias.""Also, I am working with district leadership to provide all Blades teachers and staff with professional development on cultural bias in the near future," he wrote."We are working together to ensure all students and families feel valued and respected at Blades Elementary."Chris Gaines, Mehlville School District superintendent, apologized for the assignment on Tuesday."Asking a student to participate in a simulated activity that puts a price on a person is not acceptable," Gaines wrote in a statement. "Racism of any kind, even inadvertently stemming from cultural bias, is wrong and is not who we aspire to be as a school district. I am sorry and disappointed that this happened in our school."NAACP hopes to meet with school officialsWalker, who is a teacher herself, told 2765

What does our future hold in terms of how our information is collected? How can we know our information is safe?It's a question people at SRI International are trying to answer. SRI is a research non-profit located in Silicon Valley that's helping to develop technology that become staples of everyday life, like the computer mouse and the technology behind Siri.“I really enjoy being part of the future, trying to imagine what the future is and live in that future as much as possible," says SRI's Patrick Lincoln.Lincoln is the Director of the Computer Science Laboratory at SRI. He and his team work to understand security and privacy aspects of the "internet of things.""The internet of things is growing world where everything is a computer,” Lincoln explains. “Where your refrigerator and your car [are] a computer.”Lincoln says with that growing world he believes there is more recognition that computer security matters and private information should stay private. "There are, unfortunately, threats to that based on the vulnerabilities out there in the world and your devices and as well as the internet,” he says.He says giving the guarantee of security in today's world is hard, but he's optimistic progress can be made towards that goal. “The good news is there’s brilliant people engaged in this topic, trying to understand the concerns and identify ways to move forward and provide security and privacy for people’s data out there in the internet,” Lincoln says. “There is a great deal of progress being reported in academic conferences in how we encrypt data and yet protect the privacy of the data that’s used.” 1639
