Общественная организация, занимающаяся защитой прав американцев китайского происхождения, подала в суд на бывшего президента США Дональда Трампа из-за того, что тот называл коронавирус нового типа "китайским вирусом". В распоряжение журналистов портала попала исковая жалоба от лица Коалиции за гражданские права американцев китайского происхождения (CACRC, Chinese American Civil Rights Coalition). Истцы обвиняют Трампа в клевете и нанесении морального ущерба, настаивая на том, что экс-президента необходимо привлечь к ответственности за то, что тот неоднократно называл коронавирус "китайским вирусом", "уханьским вирусом" и другими словосочетаниями, в которых делал акцент на стране, где впервые была обнаружена вспышка инфекции. По мнению стороны обвинения, предвзятый подход Трампа способствовал росту насилия по отношению к выходцам из азиатских стран в США. Экс-президент США ранее неоднократно выражал мнение, что коронавирус нового типа, вспышка вызываемого которым заболевания произошла в конце 2019 года в Центральном Китае и распространилась по всему миру, стоит называть "китайским вирусом".

"În ceea ce priveşte familiile pe care le vom reuni în această săptămână, copiii sunt în SUA şi părinţii li se vor alătura", a precizat ea. Trump a anulat ulterior această politică, care stârnise indignare pe plan internaţional, dar potrivit organismelor de supraveghere ale guvernului, separările începuseră înaintea adoptării acestei politici şi au continua după aceea. Biden a calificat despărţirile familiilor sub administraţia Trump drept "tragedie umană". Cele două familii sunt separate din 2017, a spus el, adăugând că reunificările din această săptămână vor fi "primele dintr-o lungă serie".

☆ One millionaire landlord was behind half of Milwaukee's evictions during Covid lockdowns last June. Here's the story of how corporate landlords helped drive the evictions crisis

Corporate landlords in cities like Milwaukee helped drive an evictions crisis during the pandemic. Corporate landlords, which own almost 50% of rental properties, are more likely to evict, advocates say. Before the 2008 recession, corporate landlords owned 20% of rental properties; today, it's nearing a whopping 50%. Since the Center for Disease Control's evictions moratorium took effect last September, evictions by corporate landlords have actually been steadily increasing. There is no national database of evictions, and evictions are only tracked at the level of the country's more than 3,000 counties.
