(The Center Square) – Milwaukee’s downtown alderman continues to defend new rules that will close downtown food trucks earlier, despite violence across the rest of the city. Alderman Bob Bauman said a new ordinance that will force food trucks along Water Street to close at 10 p.m. is necessary to control crime in the city. “We are told by professional law enforcement personnel, at the command staff level, that food trucks are a significant cause of the disorder that is taking place on Water Street, especially among underage individuals who can’t even patronize the bars,” Bauman told CBS 58 on Thursday. “But they are there. They congregate around the food trucks. They loiter around the food trucks. Confrontations occur. People get shot, people get hurt, people get killed in some cases.” Food truck owners in Milwaukee say they are being scapegoated and point out that Milwaukee has a crime problem across the city. The latest high profile shooting in Milwaukee came Wednesday when police say an 11-year-old shot at a city inspector during a carjacking attempt. The inspector wasn’t wounded, though police say a bullet did graze his jacket. That 11-year-old was one of three young teenagers arrested after a short police chase on the other side of town. Officers say a 14-year-old was driving a stolen car, and a 16-year-old was also taken into custody. The carjacking attempt and shooting came after Milwaukee Police say two 14-year-olds were arrested for the murder of a 15-year-old in the city’s Walker’s Point neighborhood last week. Bauman didn’t comment on Milwaukee’s other recent crimes. He said his focus is on downtown. “If downtown gets the reputation of being unsafe and dangerous, that will have enormous economic consequences," Bauman added. The city’s new food truck rules begin May 9.

Военная база в населенном пункте Тесалит, расположенном на севере Мали вблизи границы с Алжиром, перешла под контроль вооруженных повстанческих группировок, сообщили агентству France-Presse в пятницу, 1 мая, источники в местном руководстве, силовых структурах и сепаратистских формированиях.

По решению Еврокомиссии, торговое соглашение между ЕС и странами Mercosur вступило в силу 1 мая в режиме временного применения. Это результат более чем 25-летних переговоров и начало формирования рынка, который объединит 700 миллионов потребителей. Это решение Еврокомиссии обострило разногласия внутри ЕС — между Францией и Польшей, выступающими в защиту аграрного сектора, и Германией, Испанией и Брюсселем, ориентированными на экспорт автомобилей и другой промышленной продукции. Президент Франции Эмманюэль Макрон его  «неприятным сюрпризом», а сельхозпроизводители вновь напомнили о конкуренции со стороны стран Латинской Америки, не соблюдающих жесткие европейские санитарные и экологические нормы.

(The Center Square) – The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression has sent two letters to a Minnesota community college alleging its campus speech policies violate the First Amendment. Anoka-Ramsey Community College, a public community college in Cambridge and Coon Rapids, has yet to respond to FIRE. The foundation first contacted the college April 3, raising concerns about rules that prohibit unaffiliated individuals from proselytizing on campus. “Banning proselytism while allowing other types of speech – including harsh criticism of religion – is a blatant violation of the First Amendment,” FIRE Program Counsel Brennen VanderVeen said. “FIRE calls on the college to revise its policies so that proponents and critics of religion are both free to speak there.” FIRE argues the policy is “flatly unconstitutional” discrimination because it restricts speech encouraging religious or ideological conversion while permitting criticism of those same beliefs. In a follow-up letter dated April 29, FIRE said it had not received a response and urged the college to revise its policies, warning the restrictions could expose the school. “This provision therefore exposes the college to substantial and unnecessary litigation risk, and it should rescind the provision without delay,” the second letter said. Beyond the proselytizing ban, FIRE also takes issue with the college’s broader rules governing speech by individuals not affiliated with the school. Those include limiting expressive activity to designated areas on campus, restricting some spaces to literature distribution only, and requiring a permit request at least one week in advance. According to FIRE, those policies are “restrictive” and “unclear,” potentially discouraging lawful speech. The group also argued the one-week notice requirement is unreasonable, particularly for individuals engaging in small-scale activities like handing out pamphlets. “These restrictions warrant revision to ensure non-affiliated individuals have a meaningful opportunity to engage in protected speech,” the group wrote in its second letter. FIRE said at least one individual has been prevented from proselytizing at the college’s Coon Rapids campus due to the policy. In a statement to The Center Square, a FIRE spokesperson reiterated the group’s concerns. “The school’s restrictions on expression and assembly raise serious First Amendment concerns, and its ban on proselytism is blatantly unconstitutional,” the spokesperson said. “FIRE urges Anoka-Ramsey to revise its policies to comply with the Constitution.” FIRE has offered to help the college revise its policies free of charge to align them “with the First Amendment. It requested a response from the college by May 13. Anoka-Ramsey Community College did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Center Square.

(The Center Square) – A nonprofit advocacy group has filed federal civil rights complaints against two healthcare systems, alleging their scholarship programs unlawfully exclude applicants based on race. Do No Harm, a national anti-DEI policy advocacy group, announced last week it submitted complaints to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights against Beacon Health System and Valley Health System. The group alleges both systems operate student scholarship programs limited to certain racial minorities, in violation of federal anti-discrimination laws. Beacon Health, which has locations in Michigan, offers an “Underrepresented in Medicine Scholarship” that includes a training rotation and stipend for fourth-year medical students. Eligibility is restricted to “traditionally underrepresented racial/ethnic” groups, according to the scholarship's website. Valley Health is based in West Virginia and offers a “Minority Healthcare Scholarship," which awards $5,000 to students pursuing healthcare careers. According to the complaint, applicants are required to be members of a “minority ethnic or racial groups.” The page for that scholarship is no longer active, as is a Facebook post that promoted it. Do No Harm argues the programs violate both Title VI of the Civil Rights Act and Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act by excluding applicants based on race. Both systems also receive federal funding, aid, or grants, according to Do No Harm. In an exclusive statement to The Center Square, Do No Harm Chairman Stanley Goldfarb said the complaints seek federal intervention to ensure equal access to the scholarships. “The Civil Rights Act and the Affordable Care Act are clear: racial discrimination is illegal, and federal funds—to which taxpayers of all races contribute—should not be used to support it,” Goldfarb said. “We are asking HHS-OCR to step in and remedy these scholarships so that all qualified medical students can have a fair shot at competing for these programs.” Goldfarb added the scholarships rely on “illegal racial stereotyping” by assuming “disadvantage” based on race. “We are asking HHS-OCR to step in and remedy these scholarships so that all qualified medical students can have a fair shot at competing for these programs,” Goldfarb said. “When merit is prioritized at every level of healthcare, patients benefit.” The Office for Civil Rights will now determine whether to open a formal investigation into the complaints. Neither Beacon Health nor Valley Health immediately responded to requests for comment.
