The Mexican government announced this morning the vaccination plan to be carried out in the country to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. The announcement was made by the country's deputy health minister, Hugo López-Gatell.
The vaccine will be universally accessible and free; that is, it covers the entire population in the country.
It will start in Mexico City and in the state of Coahuila, Mexico with the health professionals who are treating patients with COVID-19.
The vaccination campaign is expected to start in the third week of December with vaccines from CanSino Biologics, of Chinese origin with an effectiveness of 97%; the American vaccine Pfizer-BioNTech, with a reported effectiveness of 95%; and, the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine, of European origin with 90% of effectiveness against the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Mexico's President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador announced that the funds for the vaccination plan are ready, specifically 20 billion pesos, for the purchase of 34 million doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine; 77 million doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine and 35 million doses of the CanSino vaccine.
Lopez-Gatell said the goal is to reach 75% of the population over 16 years old and announced that there will be 7 stages in which the vaccination plan was divided that includes its distribution by age groups:
Health workers. In December 2020 and February 2021.
People 80 years and older. Before February 2021.
People between 70 and 79 years old. Before February 2021.
People between 60 and 69 years old. In February and April 2021.
People between 50 and 59 years old. In April and May 2021.
People between 40 and 49 years old. In May and June 2021.
Population under 40 years of age. From June 2021 and before March 2022
Mexico's Foreign Minister, Marcelo Luis Ebrard Casaubón, said that early access to vaccines was also due to early integration into COVAX, which, according to the World Health Organization -WHO-, aims to "accelerate the development and manufacture of vaccines against COVID-19 and ensure fair and equitable access to them for all countries of the world". In addition, he highlighted the importance of integrating Mexico into the Gavi Vaccine Alliance -Gavi-, the Coalition for the Promotion of Innovations for Epidemic Preparedness -CEPI-.
The minister confirmed that out of 9 potential COVID-19 vaccine candidates, approximately 50 million doses have already been set aside, including vaccines developed by Inovio, Moderna, CureVac, Merk-Themis, Oxford-AstraZeneca, the University of Hong Kong, Novavax, Clover-BioPharma, and the University of Queensland-CLS.
In addition, he noted that the Mexican Ministry of Health will be able to decide on a total of 18 vaccines as long as phase three trials are completed and approved.
For the first time in Redwood's history, four new members of the City Council took virtual action on Monday night, December 7, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has resulted in thousands of infections and deaths in the state of California.
Thus, Jeff Gee for District 1, Lissette Espinoza-Garnica for District 3, Michael Smith for District 4, and Alicia Aguirre for District 7, were sworn in tonight to serve the city, after winning the local elections last November 3rd.
The virtual ceremony, in which one by one, the Council took up the position; although it was not as big as in past years, it was emotional, as new members joined the table, making the Council one of the most diverse in the county.
During her speech as the new Redwood City Councilor, Alicia Aguirre, from District 7, referred to feeling honored by the position and expressed her excitement and eagerness to work hand in hand with her colleagues to advance the challenges facing the city today, such as equity and COVID-19, in addition to working for the Latino community, which is facing serious problems due to the virus.
Councilwoman Lissette Espinoza-Garnica, District 3, decided to give her message in English and Spanish, and in it she recalled that she did not imagine that she would be running for Council last summer, since she had just been fired from her job at a nursery school because of the COVID-19 pandemic and was only working as a part-time caregiver for her grandmother, who lives with her family.
However, she said she felt inspired to run for office, as she felt that her voice and those of her community were not being heard and represented in local government.
She thanked all those who supported her during her campaign and the voters, whom she said she hopes to thank "by making meaningful decisions that reflect what our community really wants and needs.
"This is a beginning for a new representation for voices that have not been seen or heard at the table, and perhaps even creating a new table, I look forward to working with the council and residents to make this city a city for all," he concluded.
Jeff Gee, new Alderman for District 1, congratulated his colleagues and noted that in these times of pandemic there is much work to be done, such as keeping communities safe during this public health emergency, as well as seeking to keep small businesses viable and supporting the most vulnerable.
He said that housing for all, economic recovery and investment in infrastructure and transportation are some of the challenges facing the entire community.
"As our city grows and becomes more diverse, we need to work on initiatives that promote equity, diversity and inclusion. I look forward to working together and ensuring that the actions we take as a Council are representative of the residents. There is a way and a way for all of us to participate," she said.
Michael Smith, a councilman for District 4, gave thanks and said he was honored by the trust placed in him to serve in the position he was given today, and pledged to devote his time and energy "to raising the voices of all those who have been left behind before.
"I cannot commit to perfection over the course of the next four years, but I pledge to do my best to fulfill the promises I have made over the past few months. I look forward to working with each of you, especially those who have a more prosperous, more inclusive vision of a better Redwood for all," he said.
Finally, the city's mayor, Diane Howard, congratulated the new four councilmen, welcomed them to the local government, and said that, on behalf of all her colleagues, she looks forward to working with each and every one of them.
After the swearing-in and speeches of the new councillors, it was decided that Giselle Hale would be the new Deputy Mayor of Redwood, a task that will culminate in 2021, as she will act as interim due to the departure of Deputy Mayor Shelly Masur.
It is worth noting that on this day two city councilors said goodbye to their positions: Ian Bain, who has served Redwood for over 15 years, and Janet Borgens, who served from 2015 to 2020, as well as Deputy Mayor Shelly Masur, who could not hold back tears as she said goodbye to her team and thanked them for all their support, as well as her family.

"Throughout this pandemic, we have leveraged California's talent pool to combat this virus and that includes working with tech innovators like Apple and Google," said Gavin Newsom, governor of California.
With this, an app will be launched that will help smartphone users to stop the spread of COVID-19 through exposure alerts, which will let them know when they have come into contact with someone who has tested positive.
Such technology was developed in April 2020, but until now, the California government had the technology offered by Apple and Google. The company based in Cupertino, led by Tim Cook stated that:
Those of us at Apple and Google believe there has never been a more important time to work together to bring solutions to one of the world's most pressing problems. Through close cooperation and collaboration with developers, governments and public health providers, we hope to harness the power of technology and help countries around the world reduce the spread of COVID-19 and accelerate its return to our everyday lives.
In California, new digital tool will be called CA Notifywill be officially launched on Thursday, December 10. "When combined with other actions such as the use of masks and physical distancing, CA Notify can help curb the transmission of COVID-19," said Dr. Mark Ghaly, director of the U.S. Health and Human Services Agency (CHHS).
CA Notify will be covered under the privacy scheme promoted by Apple:
"Privacy, transparency and consent are paramount in this journey and we will integrate that functionality in consultation with relevant stakeholders. We will publicly disclose information about our work so that others can analyze it," Apple said earlier this year.
Ghaly added, "This technology is another way Californians can take proactive steps to keep themselves, their loved ones and their communities safe.
Notably, the state launched a pilot program in September for students, staff and faculty at the University of California, San Diego and San Francisco, and expanded to include five other campuses in mid-November.
Due to the privacy focus of CA NotifyIt is not possible to estimate how many students, faculty, staff and patients have enabled the application, but it is estimated that more than 250,000 people are using the technology as part of the pilot.
The 2019-2020 season of the National Basketball Association (NBA) began with a record number of foreign players. 133 professionals arrived from the 30 franchises of the National Basketball Association. Specifically, 45 countries feed the famous league. The first places are occupied by Canada for contributing 21 players, a country that, in addition, maintains a team like the Toronto Raptors competing in the top category, France 12 and Australia with nine.
The United States stands out for its excellence in the "blast sport" and is known for having the best league in the world. Before the 1980s, European players were rare in American basketball, but today one of the best players comes from Slovenia, Luka Doncic.
On June 18, 1985, the draft which selects the best talent from local universities had the peculiarity of having a team of scouts who had travelled to the old continent to look for league recruitment options. As far back as I can remember, Golden State made their first selection in this style with Japan's Yasutaka Okayama, while the Boston Celtics acquired Greek sensation Panagiotis Giannakis.
There's no shortage of Hispanics on the list. Juan Toscano earned a spot on the Golden State Warriors' roster after participating in the league's summer recruiting program. He has dual Mexican and U.S. citizenship, and his father is Puerto Rican and his mother is from Michoacán.
He signed a contract this year, his position is forward and he plays with number 95, for being the street where he grew up. Toscano Anderson also won the National Professional Basketball League title in Mexico in 2018 with Fuerza Regia.
Pau Gasol was born in Barcelona, Spain, in 1980 and has become one of the best foreigners to have played in the NBA. He has dominated by his quality and quantity of victories both by team and individuals and, together with his brother Marc Gasol, who signed this cycle with the Los Angeles Lakers, they will be the first family duo to stand out in the most winning franchise in the history of the Association.
Globalization has also reached Africa, where some of the biggest names in the NBA today come from. Giannis Antetoukoumpo, a Greek of Nigerian origin, is the star of the East in the league, where he has led the table with the Milwaukee Bucks. In the same conference, he shares the spotlight with Joel Embid, from the 76th Philadelphia team, and Paskal Siakam, champion with the Toronto Raptors in 2019.
Rui Hachimura, born in Toyama, Japan, of Beninese/Japanese descent, is a member of the Washington Wizards, as well as playing for his home country. He plays as a forward and power forward. He is recognised for his efforts against discrimination and prejudice faced by the mixed-race community, saying "I'm Japanese, but I'm half Japanese and half black. I love being like that, I'm very proud to be half African and half Japanese. He also learned English through rapping, PlayStation and Netflix, he says.
Of course, basketball does not discriminate on the basis of language. Four other representatives who play in different NBA franchises come from Brazil. They are Cristiano Felicio, who plays for the Chicago Bulls, Raul Neto, who plays for Philadelphia 76, Nene Hilario, who plays for the Houston Rockets, and Bruno Caboclo, who plays for the Memphis Grizzlies.
The Italians who stand out in the NBA are Marco Belinelli, who is part of the San Antonio Spurs, Danilo Gallinari of the Oklahoma City team and Nicolo Melli, a member of the New Orleans Pelicans, who also represents his country's national team.
Globalization and the openness to preserve the spectacle of the world's best basketball league are once again confronting the ideals, not only of the communities, which are extremely united in this sport, of African Americans, but also of those who feel the stave as the landing strip for those who seek success in foreign lands.
A new home confinement order went into effect in Bay Area counties on Sunday night and Monday morning to try to limit the spread of COVID-19.
The order went into effect at 10:00 p.m. on Sunday in Contra Costa, Santa Clara and San Francisco counties.
At 00:01 am in the city of Berkeley and the rest of Alameda County.
Marin County will go into lockdown Tuesday at noon.
The six jurisdictions announced on Friday the regional order to require most non-essential businesses to close all internal and external operations.
Temporary closures include outdoor restaurants, playgrounds, aesthetics, museums, zoos, cinemas, and wineries, breweries and bars.
Shops and malls will be allowed to operate indoors with a capacity of 20 percent and without eating or drinking in the shops.
A state order announced Thursday will add such restrictions if a specific region of California reached the 15 percent limit of availability in intensive care units, a number that has already been reached by California and the San Joaquin Valley regions.
Health officials from all six jurisdictions decided to comply with the state government's requirements, even though the availability of the ICU in the Bay Area did not exceed the 15 percent availability barrier; as of this Sunday, the remaining 24.1 percent of the ICU occupancy was accounted for.
So far, the order does not cover other counties in the region.
The restrictions will remain in force at least until January 4.
Due to the health contingency for COVID-19 and given that San Mateo County is on purple alert - the highest risk - for the new SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, this time the new Redwood City Councilmen should be welcomed virtually this Monday, December 7 at 7:00 p.m. local time.
Join us to celebrate and recognize outgoing Council Members 12/7 at 7 p.m. The newly elected City Councilmembers will be installed at the same meeting. All are welcome to stay for the entirety of the meeting.
The ceremony also includes a recognition of outgoing Councillors Ian Bain, Janet Borgens, and Shelly Masur who, in turn, will receive and welcome to the new members of the CouncilDistrict 7, Alicia Aguirre; District 3, Lissette Espinoza-Ganica; District 1, Jeff Gee; and District 4, Michael Smith.
The event will take place virtually via the Zoom remote conference platform at redwoodcity.zoom.us with invitation code 963 2830 9893.
It is worth reminding the community that Redwood City Council votes in all other districts will be held until 2022.
San Francisco-based food innovation company East Just Inc. announced that, after a rigorous review process, its lab-grown chicken was approved for sale in Singapore, which could mark the beginning of a new food in the future.
In a statement the company said that this process is the first regulatory concession at the global level that allows the use of real meat grown directly in a laboratory for human consumption from animal cells.
This breakthrough for the industry builds on Singapore's reputation as a world leader in business, technology and culinary innovation, and emphasizes the country's dedication to entrepreneurial solutions that promote sound environmental management.
According to Eat Just co-founder and CEO Josh Tetrick, "Singapore has for many years been a leader in innovation, from information technology to biological products, and is now a world leader in building a healthier and safer food system.
This regulatory approval, he said, "will be the first of many in Singapore and in other countries. In partnership with the agricultural industry and forward-thinking policymakers, companies like ours can help meet the increased demand for animal protein as our population grows.
It should be noted that the role of cultured meat in creating a safer global food supply has been widely documented, and has even led to an increase in the application of animal cell culture technology for the development of food products in the last decade.
Meat production has increased dramatically in recent years. For example, in 2019 production was estimated at just over 335 million tons, while by 2050 consumption is expected to increase by more than 70 percent.
In addition, public health crises related to conventional meat consumption patterns require much safer, more efficient and less environmentally damaging ways to meet growing consumer demand.
According to safety and quality validations by the Singapore Food Agency, the cultured chicken met the standards for poultry meat, with an extremely low microbiological content and significantly cleaner than conventional chicken.
The analysis also showed that cultured chicken contains a high protein content, a diversified composition of amino acids, a relatively high content of healthy monounsaturated fats and is a rich source of minerals.
And although at the moment this product is significantly more expensive than conventional chicken, as production increases it will be even cheaper than the chicken we are used to buying in supermarkets.
This is a much more sustainable way of meeting the future food needs of the population, since this way of growing meat requires 99 percent less land and up to 96 percent less water.
Thus, the company takes a further step towards the small-scale commercial launch of its new Good Meat brand, details of which will be made known in the future.
The U.S. Justice Department announced Thursday that it has filed a lawsuit against Facebook, alleging that the technology firm favored migrant or foreign workers on H-1B visas and others on temporary visas over U.S. citizen employees.
In a statement, the Justice Department said Facebook refused to recruit qualified U.S. workers for more than 2,600 jobs, reserving them for temporary visa holders it wanted to sponsor for permanent work authorization.
The positions, which were allegedly discriminated against by Facebook, offered an average salary of approximately $156,000 and, according to the lawsuit, the company did not advertise these positions on its career website as it normally does.
Assistant Attorney General Eric S. Dreiband of the Civil Rights Division said the department alleges that Facebook "committed widespread and intentional violations of the law by reserving positions for temporary visa holders rather than considering interested and qualified U.S. workers.
"This lawsuit follows an almost two-year investigation... Our message is clear: if companies deny employment opportunities by illegally preferring temporary visa holders, the Justice Department will hold them accountable," the official added.
The complaint states that, from January 1, 2018 to September 18, 2019, Facebook employed tactics that discriminated against U.S. workers and preferred holders of temporary work visas in connection with the labor certification process (PERM).
It also alleges that Facebook attempted to channel jobs to temporary visa holders, at the expense of U.S. workers, by not advertising those vacancies on its career website and refusing to consider U.S. workers who applied for those positions.
In its investigation, the department determined that Facebook's "ineffective" recruitment methods deterred U.S. workers from applying for their PERM jobs.
Thus, the department concluded that, during the referred period, Facebook received between zero and one U.S. applicant for 99.7 percent of its PERM positions, while comparable positions advertised on its career site during a similar period generally attracted 100 or more applicants.
It should be noted that the PERM process is administered by the Department of Labor and allows employers to offer permanent positions to temporary visa holders, making them legal permanent residents who can live and work in the U.S. indefinitely.
However, the PERM process requires that an employer demonstrate that there are no qualified U.S. workers available for the position that the employer plans to offer the temporary visa holder.
Indeed, H-1B visas are often used by the technology sector to bring highly skilled foreign workers to the U.S. However, for some critics of these permits, the laws governing such visas are lax and make it too easy to replace U.S. workers with cheaper foreign labor.
According to a statement picked up by the U.S. media, technology giant spokesman Daniel Robertson, "Facebook has been cooperating with the Justice Department in its review of this matter and while we dispute the allegations in the complaint, we cannot comment further on the pending litigation.
The Facebook lawsuit is the latest example of the Trump administration's crusade against Silicon Valley in its effort to restrict immigration of foreign workers.
This is totally contrary to what companies such as Facebook and Apple have said, as they believe that banning such visas would stifle the ability of American companies to attract the best talent, drive innovation and promote economic prosperity.
In June, Trump issued a presidential proclamation that temporarily blocked foreign workers entering on H-1B visas, ensuring that 525,000 U.S. jobs would be restored.
According to a May Economic Policy Institute report, the top 30 employers of H-1B workers include Amazon, Microsoft, Walmart, Alphabet's Google, Apple and Facebook.
Wilma and Ricardo divorced this year after six months of confinement after spending 16 years sleeping in the same bed. They have a daughter, Carolina, three dogs, two parrots, two cats and an anthill that they got for Caro on her birthday.
Ricardo had an affair last year and, although they had decided to give each other one last chance, the confinement ended up annihilating what was left of their relationship.
Was it adventure or was it confinement that ended up untying the ties of love after so many years?
A study of married life during confinement and extramarital relationships addresses several topics, including sex, stress, dating during a pandemic, thoughts about the future of marriage, monogamy, and divorce.
We give you 5 keys to manage your marriage and (possible) infidelity during the pandemic:
You be the one to initiate sex
Wear something sexy or something you know your partner likes. Start by looking for some kind of contact or throwing a look. Maybe some words you know will trigger the other one and prompt him/her to play.
Being locked up doesn't mean we spend all day like bunnies. The 58 % of married people who date outside of marriage comment that their spouse has not initiated any sexual intimacy during quarantine. It is not surprising then that 75 % of the unfaithful have less sexual intercourse than usual or none at all with their spouse.
When sex is so important, yet so unattainable in marriage, people will inevitably look for another place to have their needs met. Since confinement, marriages have had to spend the longest period of time with their spouses, and not be able to leave! Clearly, the answer is in your hands. If sexual pleasure is not on the menu, it will go to another restaurant that serves it... and warmly.
Trust and instill confidence in your partner in times of uncertainty and stress, do not resort to third parties
Ricardo felt anxiety, worry and fear, frustration and anger. Wilma boredom. But both felt discomfort and uncertainty caused by the pandemic and confinement. With the bad news and the third wave the country is in, it is hard to stay positive.
However, Ricardo felt great relief when his infidelity began, it is a great distraction, something he longed for and something that allows him to maintain a sense of normalcy.
It could even be said that infidelity is a reliable form of personal care, for Ricardo, since his state of mind increased and he is not alone, as is the case with many infidels, according to the study on married life and infidelity during the pandemic.
It's the same with sex, if you don't open up to your partner and tell them your fears and uncertainties, your deepest desires and share your state of mind, you'll have to put it somewhere else. In the same way, you must leave the door open so that your partner feels confident to deposit what he or she has inside you.
Only you are responsible for your happiness, not your partner
The myth is that of the fairy tale where your spouse must be your main and only confidant, BFF (best friend forever), lover, haven of peace and also dress in blue to save you from every problem you face or from the other side, dress in pink and wait patiently, docile and quietly for the storm to pass; it must stop at once.
The pandemic has definitely changed the way we interact with others, in some ways, for the better.
Avoiding COVID-19 infection leaves you with few alternatives, since the best thing to do is to stay at home and get away from people. This makes interaction with your partner difficult, since you tend to overload yourself to do absolutely everything with just one person. Those of you who are married may have realized that you cannot depend on your spouse for everything, and this bubble is a way of meeting your various needs.
Happiness can only be found in yourself, and burdening your partner with such responsibility will only aggravate the situation. Think that when you met you were happy, together yes, but you were happy before he or she came. Besides, you owe it to yourself.
Another alternative to happiness
An alternative, with all the risks that they imply, could be to create a healthy social bubble for socializing and personal fulfillment. However, creating the bubble necessarily implies a previous selection and forces us to think about what we need and who can give it to us. When you are alone, who do you call? When you need fun, who do you want to see? When you want passion, who do you look for? Perhaps the answers indicate that it will be a different person for each situation.
There is no one person who can offer fulfillment in all aspects of life, not even a spouse. Perhaps times are beginning to come up with new ways of building sex-affective relationships where there is no longer room for monogamy.
Lara Ferreiro, an expert psychologist in sexuality and couples therapy says that:
"In times of pandemic, it is the lover who is meeting and attending to the emotional and sexual needs of many, not the partner. Even spending more time together than ever with your partner is not enough to match everything your lover offers you. In them they find not only a physiological outlet; their lover is their confidant and their main emotional support that helps them to cope with the current situation in their home. Monogamy is a concept that no longer works for many, and is beginning to be questioned and even revised.
Let's not talk about opening up your marriage, but what do we do about infidelity then? In the end, maybe the affair is a way to avoid divorce
What a hoax! Before the altar one never promises to spend 24 hours a day every day glued to one's partner without leaving home.
It is understandable that new tensions, stress and even some arguments at home have surfaced, as couples in marriage now spend more time together since the confinement began than they ever did since they met. As a result, divorce consultations have increased by as much as 25% according to The National Law Review. But the unfaithful go their own way. For them, divorce is the last thing on their minds, and they thank their alternative relationship for it.
This was not the case for Wilma and Ricardo, who after the deception only saw the solution of separating definitively. But one cannot help but wonder if for many others, an affair, an affair, is not the escape valve required, from time to time, to save the marriage.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has become the epicenter of some of the greatest horrors of the past four years, embodied in stories that, so far, cannot be forgotten.
Among these stories, he mentions the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), are those of children crying breathlessly after being separated by their parents at the border, or of little ones sleeping in cages on the ground in the open air.
Perhaps the cruelest of all is the photograph of a girl desperately clinging to her father's neck with her arm around him, who ended up drowning on the side of the Rio Bravo as they tried to cross to the United States.
The disturbing image has generated comparisons with other photos, such as that of the death of Aylan Kurdi, the 3-year-old Syrian boy who drowned in 2015 when his family was trying to reach a shrine in Greece; or that of Omran Daqneesh, 5, when he was wounded in an air raid in Aleppo.
Just as these images focused the world's attention on the humanitarian crisis in Syria and Turkey, the intense image of the little girl and her father drowned in the Rio Bravo was a stark reminder of the human cost of the migration crisis.
Cuando el presidente electo Joe Biden asuma el cargo en enero próximo, refiere ACLU, debe asegurarse de que este tipo de abusos nunca vuelvan a ocurrir, así como de erradicar el clima de propagación de miedo en la frontera, que ha excusado la crueldad y ha enfrentado al abuso con impunidad.
While the new administration is contemplating how to fund the Department of Homeland Security's management in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, it will also have to focus on significantly cutting the budget of the Customs and Border Protection agency.
The federal agency is one of the largest in the country, with some 45,600 sworn officers and agents, along with a budget of more than $17 billion for both Border Patrol and port of entry operations.
Despite its size, the Department of Homeland Security stated in 2019 that 40 percent of CBP resources were being absorbed by an "unprecedented increase" in the number of families fleeing Central American countries, and it was unable to manage other border security missions.
Thus, for the ACLU, CBP should have no role in the detention of individuals beyond a short processing period, since, in the last two years, at least seven children died in CBP custody or shortly after their release, because they received late or no medical care at all.
CBP should also be removed from the asylum process, as it has been found to have confiscated crucial personal documents or lied on government forms, and should not make decisions about how and when to separate families arriving at the border.
Also, adds the ACLU, reforms are needed to address CBP's culture of impunity for abuse, including the death of people at the hands of CBP, since, since January 2010, at least 117 people, including some US citizens, have died following encounters with CBP.
As Biden's transition team contemplates a new model for receiving asylum seekers, it should also develop alternatives for detaining them.
Similarly, stricter standards are needed to limit CBP's use of lethal force, require agency officials to keep their credentials visible, and use body cameras. As well as a complaint mechanism that is accessible online, a uniform process for reviewing and investigating abuse and ensuring that CBP personnel are held accountable for inhumane treatment.
Accountability will require more than the appointment of new leadership, concludes the ACLU, but will require a rebalancing and recalculation of the role of CBP.
