Amherst Sanctuary Community Bylaw Fact Sheet
Amherst Sanctuary Community Bylaw Fact Sheet Article 29, the Town of Amherst Sanctuary Community Bylaw, will protect the civil rights of all Amherst residents by making sure our town police and other employees and our tax dollars are not used to help deport immigrant families or create a Muslim registry. KEY FEATURES OF ARTICLE 29 THE AMHERST SANCTUARY COMMUNITY BYLAW Ø Prohibits town support for any Muslim registry The bylaw prohibits any town employee from cooperating with or enforcing any federal program requiring registration of individuals based on national origin, religion or other protected characteristics. Ø Ensures that police resources are used to fight crime, not separate families The bylaw ensures that Amherst police don’t participate in federal immigration enforcement activities, including participation in inquiries, investigations, raids, arrests or detentions that are based solely on immigration status. When police become ICE agents, immigrant victims and witnesses of crime are afraid to call police, which makes us all less safe. Ø Prohibits use of local funds for collaboration agreements with federal agents The bylaw prohibits collaboration agreements between the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and local law enforcement that deputize local officers as immigration agents, like those in place in Bristol and Plymouth Counties. The bylaw will ensure that our tax dollars are spent on making our community safe, not on expanding the deportation machine. Ø Protects our town from potential lawsuits The bylaw clearly states that the Town of Amherst will not comply with ICE detainer requests or holds. These requests are not warrants and are not reviewed by a court or judicial officer.

2020 Conservation Outlook Assessment
IUCN World Heritage Outlook: https://worldheritageoutlook.iucn.org/ Malpelo Fauna and Flora Sanctuary - 2020 Conservation Outlook Assessment Malpelo Fauna and Flora Sanctuary 2020 Conservation Outlook Assessment SITE INFORMATION Country: Colombia Inscribed in: 2006 Criteria: (vii) (ix) Located some 506 km off the coast of Colombia, the site includes Malpelo island (350 ha) and the surrounding marine environment (857,150 ha). This vast marine park, the largest no-fishing zone in the Eastern Tropical Pacific, provides a critical habitat for internationally threatened marine species, and is a major source of nutrients resulting in large aggregations of marine biodiversity. It is in particular a ‘reservoir' for sharks, giant grouper and billfish and is one of the few places in the world where sightings of the short-nosed ragged-toothed shark, a deepwater shark, have been confirmed. Widely recognized as one of the top diving sites in the world, due to the presence of steep walls and caves of outstanding natural beauty, these deep waters support important populations of large predators and pelagic species (e.g. aggregations of over 200 hammerhead sharks and over 1,000 silky sharks, whale sharks and tuna have been recorded) in an undisturbed environment where they maintain natural behavioural patterns. © UNESCO SUMMARY 2020 Conservation Outlook Finalised on 02 Dec 2020 GOOD WITH SOME CONCERNS The conservation outlook for Malpelo Fauna and Flora Sanctuary is positive compared to the situation of many marine protected areas in the World. This is because of the size and remoteness of the site, the existence of a large no-take area and the encouraging conservation efforts by governmental and non- governmental actors, including foundations, research institutions and tourism operators.

Sanctuary: a Modern Legal Anachronism Dr
SANCTUARY: A MODERN LEGAL ANACHRONISM DR. MICHAEL J. DAVIDSON* The crowd saw him slide down the façade like a raindrop on a windowpane, run over to the executioner’s assistants with the swiftness of a cat, fell them both with his enormous fists, take the gypsy girl in one arm as easily as a child picking up a doll and rush into the church, holding her above his head and shouting in a formidable voice, “Sanctuary!”1 I. INTRODUCTION The ancient tradition of sanctuary is rooted in the power of a religious authority to grant protection, within an inviolable religious structure or area, to persons who fear for their life, limb, or liberty.2 Television has Copyright © 2014, Michael J.

This Is a Test
‘GOODNIGHT FOR JUSTICE: QUEEN OF HEARTS’ PRODUCTION BIOS LUKE PERRY (Executive Producer) – In 1989, Luke Perry was chosen for a starring role on the internationally popular television series “Beverly Hills 90210,” in which he portrayed the brooding but sensitive Dylan McCay. The highly-rated program won a Golden Globe Award for Best Dramatic Television series in 1991. Perry made his feature film debut in a starring role in “8 Seconds,” the remarkable account of champion bull rider Lane Frost, which he co-produced. His serious devotion to the inspirational legend of Lane Frost led him to train vigorously for 18 months in order to master the techniques of bull riding and to be able to perform many of his own stunts during production. Other film credits include Columbia’s “Fifth Element”, directed by Luc Besson, “Riot for Showtime,” “Normal Life,” “American Strays” and “The Florentine,” in which he co-starred with Chris Penn, Jim Belushi, Michael Madsen and Mary Stuart Masterson. Perry made his debut on Broadway in the critically acclaimed musical The Rocky Horror Picture Show, where he portrayed Brad, the character originally played by Barry Bostwick in the cult film classic. In 2004, Perry appeared onstage in London opposite Allyson Hannigan in When Harry Met Sally. Not one to be typecast because of his work on “90210,” Perry’s television credits include a myriad of roles, including a lead in the NBC drama “Windfall,” HBO’s “John From Cincinnati,” starring for two seasons on “Jeremiah,” the Showtime Network sci-fi series, a multi-episode arc on HBO’s critically acclaimed series “Oz,” in which he portrayed a televangelist convicted of fraud, as well as roles in Hallmark Channel productions “Johnson County War,” “Supernova,” “A Gunfighter’s Pledge” and “Angel and the Badman.” Perry starred in “Goodnight for Justice,” Hallmark Movie Channel’s highest rated movie of all time.
