Allegations that César Chavez sexually abused women and girls are reshaping how many communities honor him. The United Farm Workers says it will not join any event named for its late leader. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says state agencies won't celebrate César Chavez Day. Cities including Milwaukee and Lansing, Michigan, are canceling dinners or other celebrations commemorating the labor leader. Others are pushing to rename streets, schools and landmarks after civil rights leader and farmworker advocate Dolores Huerta instead.
A Latino grocery owner in Minnesota says Kristi Noem’s ousting does not undo the damage from the federal immigration crackdown. He says customers still are staying home and spending far less. President Donald Trump fired Noem Thursday. Her ousting came amid mounting criticism over her leadership, including her handling of the crackdown and the aftermath of the shooting deaths of two Minneapolis residents by federal officers. Activists say community organizing helped force her out. And they say the surge sparked the formation of strong neighborhood networks that will live on and continue to push for social justice.
