Praxis Precision Medicines: Multiple Potential DriversPresident-elect Donald Trump ’s immigration plan will give families the choice of leaving the country together or being separated, Tom Homan , who is slated to become Trump’s “Border Czar,” told The Washington Post . The administration plans to reinstate policies that President Joe Biden had ended, he said. Homan said that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement would look to deport families together. Authorities would deport undocumented parents regardless of whether they have a child who was born in the U.S., or a U.S. citizen. This policy would leave families with the impossible choice of leaving the country together or being divided. “Here’s the issue,” Homan said, blaming the parents. “You knew you were in the country illegally and chose to have a child. So you put your family in that position.” President-elect Donald Trump’s immigration plan will also put families in detention centers, a policy that President Joe Biden’s administration ended. “We’re going to need to construct family facilities,” he said. “How many beds we’re going to need will depend on what the data says.” Homan said that ICE would use tent structures with soft sides to hold families. Biden ended the policy of putting families in detention centers in 2021, closing three ICE centers. However, Biden looked at bringing the policy back in 2023. A report from Harvard University found that the majority of children in a detention facility in Texas between 2018 and 2020 were staying past the maximum amount of time they were allowed to be detained, which is 20 days. “The conditions that we documented in this study evidence a lack of some fundamental protections owed to children, whatever their immigration status,” said Vasileia Digidiki, director of the Harvard FXB Summer Program on Migration and Refugee Studies. Originally an Obama appointee, Homan was the architect of the family separation policy that defined Trump’s first administration. As the acting director of ICE under Trump, Homan argued that separating children from parents would be an effective deterrent to migrants. His new position of “border czar” will be in the White House, which means it will not require Senate confirmation. Another person likely at the helm of immigration policy during the Trump presidency is Gov. Kristi Noem, Trump’s pick to head the Department of Homeland Security. Editor’s picks The 100 Best TV Episodes of All Time The 250 Greatest Guitarists of All Time The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time The 200 Greatest Singers of All Time Homan said he did not want to say a target number for deportations yet. “I’ll be setting myself up for disappointment,” he said. The Trump administration apparently also plans to bring back ICE worksite raids, which Biden ended in 2021. “We haven’t really worked out the plan for worksite enforcement,” Holman said. “We know that employers are going to be upset.” Holman said he wanted to reinstate the “Remain in Mexico” program, a policy from Trump’s first presidency that required migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border to stay in Mexico until their asylum hearings in U.S. court. Human rights advocates argue that the program exposes migrants to danger and violates their rights. Still, Homan maintains that these plans would appeal to Americans. “We need to show the American people we can do this and not be inhumane about it,” he told the Post . “We can’t lose the faith of the American people.”
STEPHEN COHEN: Trump’s picks continue to terrifyCARSON, Calif. — The LA Galaxy and the New York Red Bulls have been Major League Soccer mainstays since the league's inaugural season in 1996, signing glamorous players and regularly competing for championships through years of success and setbacks in a league that's perpetually improving and expanding. Yet just a year ago, both of these clubs appeared to be a very long way from the stage they'll share Saturday in the MLS Cup Final. The Galaxy were one of MLS' worst teams after a season of internal turmoil and public fan dissent, while the Red Bulls were merely a steady mediocrity seeking yet another coach to chart a new direction. A year later, these MLS founders are meeting in the league's first Cup final between teams from North America's two biggest markets. "Two original clubs being able to put themselves in this situation, I think it's great," Galaxy coach Greg Vanney said. "To see two clubs that have been at it as long as this league has been around be here, I think it's a special moment. Couldn't be two more different and contrasting styles as well, which could make for an interesting game, and I would imagine a high-intensity game." Everything changed in 2024 after a dismal decade for the Galaxy, who are favored to cap their transformation by winning their team's record sixth MLS championship with a roster that's dramatically different from its past few groups — albeit with one massive injury absence in the final. The transformation of the Red Bulls happened only in the postseason, when a team that hadn't won a playoff game since 2017 suddenly turned into world-beaters under rookie coach Sandro Schwarz. New York struggled through the final three months of league play with only two wins before posting road playoff victories over defending champ Columbus, archrival New York City FC and conference finalist Orlando to storm into the Cup final. "We know about the history (of our club), and we know tomorrow will define what that could mean," Schwarz said Friday. "To feel the pressure for tomorrow, it's necessary, because it's a final, and without pressure it's not possible to bring the best quality on the field." The Red Bulls have never won an MLS Cup, only reaching the championship match once before. What's more, they've somehow never won a Cup in any tournament, although they've collected three Supporters' Shields for MLS' best regular-season record. The Galaxy's trophy case is large and loaded, and those five MLS Cups are on the top shelf. But not much of that team success happened in the past decade for the club that famously brought David Beckham, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Robbie Keane, Steven Gerrard and many other international stars to Hollywood. In fact, this season has ended a grim era for the Galaxy, who haven't lost all year at their frequently renamed home stadium — which was the site of protests and boycotts just a year ago. The club's fans were tired of LA's steady underachievement and ineptitude in the front office run by team president Chris Klein, who was fired in May 2023. One year ago Thursday, the Galaxy hired Will Kuntz, a longtime Los Angeles FC executive who engineered his new club's roster transformation, most dramatically by landing new designated players Gabriel Pec and Joseph Paintsil — two international talents that LAFC also had in its sights. "I give Will and the group up there a ton of credit," Vanney said. "It's one thing to have players you like, and it's a whole other thing to get them here and get them to connect with your group." Pec and Paintsil combined for 32 goals and 27 assists while boosting the incumbent talents of striker Dejan Joveljic and Riqui Puig, the gifted Barcelona product who runs the offense from the midfield. The Galaxy clicked in the postseason, scoring a jaw-dropping 16 goals in four matches. Puig has been the Galaxy's most important player all season, but he won't be in the MLS Cup Final after tearing a knee ligament late in last week's conference final victory over Seattle. The loss of Puig — who somehow kept playing on his injured knee, and even delivered the game-winning pass to Joveljic — makes the Galaxy even more difficult to anticipate. "He played a lot in the regular season, so it was not so easy to analyze all these games now without him," Schwarz said. "But the main focus is to analyze what we need to do, because it's not clear now how they're playing without him." The Galaxy could give some of Puig's responsibilities to Marco Reus, the longtime Dortmund standout who joined LA in August. Reus is nursing a hamstring injury, but Vanney expects him to play.

Falcons could clinch the NFC South on SundayWith a few days to the election, many political parties, including the main opposition National Democratic Congress, are holding their last camping with various campaign messages in Bibiani Anhwiaso Bekwai. Just after their last campaign, a few issues have cropped up which the NDC seeks to address. Mr Joseph Ayambila, popularly known as Strong Man Watoo, who is the Constitution secretary for Bibiani Anhwiaso Bekwai NDC has held a press conference alleging that incumbent Member of Parliament Alfred Obeng Boateng was planning to hire the services of thugs to confuse the electoral process on December 7. He called on the Police Department and the IGP to investigate their intelligence report so they would not take the law into their own hands. Evans Armah, also known as Kofi Frimpong, a former close aide of Hon Alfred Obeng Boateng, defected from the New Patriotic Party having fallen victim to the alleged political violence. He shared his experience and warned that the situation could degenerate if the police failed to intervene.
