Monday, September 9, 2019 • SECOND DEPARTMENT/Queens/Daily Eagle • 3 GG uest Editorial Opinions How climate change is driving emigration from Central America By Miranda Cady Hallett The Conversation Clouds of dust rose behind the wheels of the pickup truck as we hurtled over the back road in Palo Verde, El Salvador. When we got to the stone-paved part of the road, the driver slowed as the truck heaved up and down with the uneven terrain. Riding in the back bed of the truck, Ruben (not his real name) and I talked while we held on tight, sitting on sacks of dried beans that he was taking to market. “It doesn’t come out right,” he said, “it just doesn’t pay any- more to work the land. I take out a loan for seed, and then I can’t count on making it back to pay off my debt.” Ruben told me then, for the first time, that he planned to save up his money to migrate out of El Salvador. His story is playing out across Central America among many migrants and would-be migrants. When I spoke with Ruben, it was 2017, nearly 20 years after I had first spent time in his community, a coffee cooperative in El Salvador’s central highlands founded in the 1990s. Over those two decades, the cooperative’s hopes and dreams of a sustain- able livelihood producing coffee for a global market have been dashed. Rising global temperatures, the spread of crop disease and extreme weather events have made coffee harvests unreli- able in places like El Salvador. On top of that, market prices are unpredictable. In the back of the pickup truck that day, we talked about gangs too. There was increasing criminal activity in the town nearby and some young people in the town were being harassed and recruited. But this was a relatively new issue for the community, layered on top of the persistent problem of the ecological crisis. As a cultural anthropologist who studies factors of displace- ment in El Salvador, I see how Ruben’s situation is reflective of a much broader global phenomenon of people leaving their homes, directly or indirectly, due to climate change and the deg- radation of their local ecosystem. And as environmental condi- tions are projected to get worse under current trends, this raises unresolved legal questions on the status and security of people like Ruben and his family.

Land and livelihood Migration from Central America has gotten a lot of atten- tion these days, including the famous migrant caravans. But much of it focuses on the way migrants from this region — es- pecially El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Honduras — are driven out by gang violence, corruption and political up- heaval. These factors are important and require a response from the international community. But displacement driven by cli- mate change is significant too. The link between environmental instability and emigra- tion from the region became apparent in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Earthquakes and hurricanes, especially Hurri- cane Mitch in 1998 and its aftermath, were ravaging parts of Honduras, Nicaragua and El Salvador. Many people from El Salvador and Honduras lived in the U.S. at the time, and the Bush administration granted them Tem- porary Protected Status. In this way, the government of the Unit- ed States recognized the inhumanity of sending people back to places struggling with ecological disaster. In the years since those events, both rapid-onset and long- in global coffee prices to spur desperate farmers to give up. Just as he predicted a few years ago, Ruben couldn’t make a term environmental crises continue to displace people from living in El Salvador. But he may find it hard to live in the U.S. their homes worldwide. Studies show that displacement often Compounding factor too, given the mismatch between refugee law and current factors happens indirectly through the impact of climate change These trends have led experts at the World Bank to claim that causing displacement. on agricultural livelihoods, with some areas pressured more around 2 million people are likely to be displaced from Central For several years now, scholars and legal advocates have been than others.

12 • BQ Daily Eagle • Monday, September 9, 2019 RECENT COURT DECISIONS AND APPEALS

By C. B. Abruzzese Brooklyn Daily Eagle PROPERTY OWNER MAY BE LIABLE FOR FALSE ARREST Kings County Supreme Court, Civil Term At recent decision from Hon. Peter Sweeney of Kings County Supreme Court, Civil Term determined that the owner of a property may be liable for damages as a result of person- al injuries sustained due to a false arrest at the property. David Brodsky commenced efforts to recover dam- ages following an incident at the apartment building he had lived in for 8 years. On Jan. 14, 2015, Brodsky and his girlfriend were returning to his home in a building owned by Trump Village Section 3, LLC. on Neptune Avenue when they were stopped at the elevator by a security guard. According to the complaint, the guard, Arthur Robinson, asked Brodsky for identifi- cation, which he refused to supply Hon. Peter Sweeney since he had never seen the guard in Eagle file photo by Rob Abruzzese the building before and had never before been asked to show his ID. Brodsky alleged that Robinson then attempted to physically remove him from the premises and punched him repeatedly when he did not com- ply. Brodsky’s girlfriend called the police to intervene in the altercation and, as a result, Brodsky was arrested and held in jail for three days before his arraignment. The charges against Brodsky were eventually dropped. In his attempt to recover damages, Brodsky contended that Trump Village was vicariously liable for the intentional acts of the security officer and was liable under negligence theory. In response, Trump Village maintained that it could not be held liable for false arrest because there was probable cause to arrest Brodsky, it could not be held liable for false arrest under a theory of negligence and it could not be held vicariously liable for Robinson’s actions because he was not its employee but, rather, worked for Cambridge Security. In his decision, Justice Sweeney rejected the first defense by Trump Village, noting that nothing presented to the court showed why Brodsky was arrested nor how a reasonable person would have believed that he committed a crime. Dismissing the negligence claim, the judge explained that Brodsky could not recover in negligence for a claim of false arrest. Concerning the vicarious liability based on the actions of the security guard, Justice Sweeney explained that Trump Village offered no evidence to support that Robinson was not their employee beyond relying on Brodsky’s deposition in which he stated that he learned after the accident that Robinson was an employee of Cambridge and not Trump Village. —Brodsky v. Trump Vil. Section 3, Inc., 500398/2016, August 19, 2019

——— LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURIES GRANTED ON APPEAL Appellate Decision, Second Department The justices of the Appellate Division, Second Department, reversed an order from Queens County Supreme Court, Civil Term concerning liability in a personal injury suit. On April 4, 2017, Sandra Rodriguez-Garcia was walking at the intersection of 43rd Avenue and 108th Street in Queens when she was struck by a bus owned by Bobby’s Bus Co., Inc. and operated by driver Remy Pierre. Rodriguez- Garcia appealed an order from the Supreme Court that denied her motion, after joinder of issue but prior to the com- pletion of discovery, for summary judgment on the issue of lia- bility. Hon. Alan Scheinkman, Hon. Sylvia Hinds-Radix, Hon. Hector Lasalle and Hon. Betsy Barros reversed that order and granted Rodriguez-Garcia’s motion for summary judgment on the issue of liability. The justices explained that while Rodriguez-Garcia had adequately demonstrated that she was walking within a crosswalk with the pedestrian signal in her favor when the bus failed to yield the right-of-way and struck her, Bobby’s Bus Co. failed to raise a triable issue of fact as to whether there was a non-negligent explanation for hitting her. Additionally, the justices noted that Rodriguez-Garcia’s motion was not premature as the bus company failed to offer an evidentiary basis to suggest that additional discovery would lead to relevant evidence or that facts essential to opposing the motion were exclusively within the knowledge and control of Rodriguez-Garcia. —Rodriguez-Garcia v. Bobby’s Bus Co., Inc., 2018-10281, August 21, 2019
