EL PAÍS (News in English)

No sympathy for Venezuelans


Dear readers,

Not even a natural disaster of still-incalculable proportions has inspired Donald Trump’s administration to pause its effort to carry out what it calls the largest deportation campaign in history. The Venezuelan community is demanding that the government reinstate TPS for the nearly 600,000 migrants at risk of being sent back to a devastated country.

Meanwhile, the richest and most prestigious university in the US is also fearful of what's in store as it faces a new wave of threats from the Republican administration. Harvard Prof. Randall Kennedy has just finished writing a book about what the university has experienced over the past 15 months. The manuscript already has a title: The Siege of Harvard.

And a professor at another Ivy League institution, Roberto Serrano of Brown University, recently told EL PAÍS about a case of mass cheating on one of his economics exams, and how university officials did nothing about it. "Academic integrity is at risk," he says.

We hope you enjoy this selection of stories from EL PAÍS USA Edition.
