-- Armed robbers in Florida hijacked a UPS truck and led police 
on a chase that ended in a fatal shootout. Marisa lati reports: "The 
two robbers, a UPS driver and a person in a nearby car were killed in 
the shooting in Miramar, George Piro, a Federal Bureau of 
Investigation agent, told reporters. Police said no officers were killed. A 
female employee of Regent Jewelers in nearby Coral Gables was 
injured, that city's police force said. Her status was not immediately 
clear, Chief Ed Hudak told reporters. The incident began when Coral 
Gables police received a silent holdup alarm from the jewelry store in 
the city's Miracle Mile section around 4:15 p.m., Hudak said. ... The 
robbers fled north in a truck and, about 20 minutes later, abducted a 
UPS truck and its driver at gunpoint while the driver was making a 
delivery in Coral Gables, Hudak said."

-- California regulators imposed a one-year moratorium banning 
insurers from dropping policies for homeowners in wildfire-
ravaged areas of the state. From the Los Angeles Times: "The move 
comes amid an exodus of some insurers in communities hard hit by 
fires, forcing some homeowners to take plans that provide less 
coverage, sometimes at higher premiums. Some have had to go 
without insurance altogether. 'I have heard the same story again and 
again. People getting dropped by their insurance after decades,' 
California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara said. 'To add insult to 
injury, many struggle to find coverage.' Though existing law prohibits 
insurers from dropping policies for homeowners who have suffered a 
total loss in a wildfire, the moratorium relies on a law that went into

effect this year that extends that rule to homeowners who live adjacent 
to a declared wildfire emergency and did not lose their home."

-- An investigation into the defacing of a church in Indiana soon 
after Trump's election led to an unlikely suspect — and the 
discovery of a hate crime hoax. Peter Jamison reports: "The knock 
on Nathan Stang's door came just after 1 p.m. ... 'Hi, Nathan,' said 
Brian Shrader, a deputy with the Brown County Sheriffs Department. 
'Remember me?' ... It was Shrader who had interviewed him after an 
appalling act of vandalism at St. 
Episcopal Church, where 
Stang played the organ and directed the choir. On the Sunday morning 
after the 2016 election, Stang had discovered the church's walls 
defaced with black spray paint: a swastika, along with the words 'Heil 
Trump' and 'Fag Church.' ... The graffiti in rural Indiana became a 
national sensation, part of a string of high-profile hate crime reports in 
the wake of Trump's victory. ... Stang played music as the spray paint 
was finally scrubbed off at a ceremony of healing attended by more 
than 200 people. ... As a gay man, Stang had dreaded the unexpected 
triumph of Trump and his running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, an 
Page 17893 
EFTA00047404

ardent opponent of same-sex marriage and other LGBTQ rights. ... 
"When Shrader appeared on his doorstep five months later, in April 
2017, Stang was struggling with major depression. Over the winter, he 
had contemplated suicide. His face — fine-featured and quick to come 
alive when he sat at the keyboard or stood before a classroom of 
undergraduates — was covered in dark stubble. ... Stang, 
expressionless, watched the 30-year-old detective's face. There had 
been no arrests for the vandalism, and no outward signs that 
investigators were making progress. But the case had reached a 
critical juncture, and though Stang didn't know it, Shrader was 
surreptitiously recording their conversation. A copy of the video was 
later provided to The Washington Post. 'I've spent six months on this 
case, okay? A long time,' Shrader said slowly. He took a breath and 
placed his right hand, palm down, on the armrest console that 
separated them. `Based on what I've found in this investigation,' 
he told the organist, 'you're responsible for this.' 
-- West Virginia's governor is calling for the firing of several 
corrections employees who are already suspended for 
performing a Nazi salute in a class photo. Kim Bellware reports: 
"Gov. Jim Justice (R) said such conduct would not be tolerated. ... 'I 
have directed Secretary Jeff Sandy of the Department of Military Affairs 
and Public Safety to continue actively investigating this incident, and I 
have ordered the termination of all those that are found to be involved 
in this conduct,' [he told The Post]. Justice was briefed on the matter 
by Sandy, who announced in a Wednesday letter to DCR employees 
that several employees had been suspended. ... In his letter, Sandy 
did not discuss how or when the photo came to his attention. The 
photo, provided to The Post with faces of the participants already

blurred out, is labeled as DCR `Basic Training Class #18' that took 
place from Oct. 21 to Nov. 27." 
-- A former video editor for Infowars host Alex Jones describes 
in a New York Times essay the tense — and sometimes downright 
abusive — conditions the conspiracy theorist's staff worked 
under as they produced stories based on misinformation and 
debunked myths. "Working for Jones was a balancing act. You had 
to determine where he was emotionally and match his tone quickly. If 
he was angry, then you had better get angry. If he was joking around, 
then you could relax, sort of, always looking out of the corner of your 
eye for his mood to turn at any moment. ... Ideas for stories mostly 
came from what other news outlets reported. Jones wanted us to 
`hijack' the mainstream media's coverage and use it to our advantage. 
If it fit into the Infowars narrative, it played," writes Josh 
In the essay, 
admits to making up stories about a Muslim 
community in New York. "We were sent to visit Muslim-majority 
communities throughout the United States to investigate what Jones 
instructed us to call `the American Caliphate.' ... We landed in Newark 
at 12:30 p.m. on Dec. 1, 2015. The first stop was Islamberg, a Muslim 
community three hours north of Manhattan. It was founded in the 
1980s by mostly African-American followers of a Pakistani cleric 
named Mubarik Ali Shah Gilani 
Gilani was suspected of association 
with the organization Jamaat ul-Fuqra, which was briefly designated as 
a terrorist group by the State Department in the 1990s; Gilani has 
denied any connection to the group. ... But unfounded rumors 
circulated around far-right corners of the intemet that this community 
was a potential terrorist-training center. Jones, who thought the media 
consistently ingratiated themselves with Islamic extremists, believed

Listen to The Big Idea 
Joe Biden is putting the finishing touches on an 
immigration plan as he seeks to reassure Latinos

Ballroom in Waterloo, Iowa. (Shannon Stapleton/Reuters) 
BY MARIANA ALFARO AND 
HOHMANN 
THE BIG IDEA: Joe Biden won't apologize for the deportations. 
Barack Obama's administration deported more than 3 million undocumented immigrants 
during his two terms, including 1.18 million in his first three years. In that equivalent 
amount of time, President Trump has deported fewer than 800,000. 
In an interview that aired Thursday night on Telemundo, the Spanish-language station 
owned by NBC, anchor Jose Diaz-Balart tried repeatedly to get the former vice president 
to say he was sorry — to no avail. 
Sitting on his "No Malarkey" bus, which he's been using to barnstorm Iowa this week, 
Biden said he has "nothing" to apologize for. "Nothing," he said with emphasis, adding 
EFTA00047416

that he and Obama did the best they could to help "the undocumenteds," as the 77-year-
old referred to them at one point during the back-and-forth. 
"No, I think what we should be doing is acknowledging that comparing what President 
Obama did and what Trump did is night and day," Biden said. 
"No, but the numbers are there," said Diaz-Balart. 
"No, no, no, no," said Biden. 
"More than 3 million people were deported," said the anchor. 
"I understand that," Biden said, blaming Republicans. "That was what the law was at the 
time." 
Biden said Obama deserves credit for minimizing deportations in the second term once it 
became clear Congress wouldn't act. The Supreme Court is now considering the fate of 
the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, known as DACA. "If the Supreme 
Court rules against it, we're going to get it passed," Biden said, referring to the fate of the 
"dreamers," undocumented immigrants who were brought to the country as children. 
Unlike most of his opponents in the Democratic field, Biden still hasn't released 
a comprehensive immigration plan. Sens. Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and 
Cory Booker have unveiled proposals. So did Montana Gov. Steve Bullock and 
California Sen. Kamala Harris before they dropped out. Among the other contenders in 
the top tier, South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg also hasn't released a detailed plan 
on immigration. 
— The Biden campaign is working to finalize a plan. In an interview with the Daily 
202, Crist0bal Alex, former president of the Latino Victory Fund and the Biden 
campaign's most senior adviser for issues involving Hispanic voters, previewed the plan 
he said will be "forthcoming." It will outline an end to Trump's family separation policy, 
protections for "dreamers" and address the root causes of the immigration crisis. This 
will include a proposal for foreign aid to stabilize the Northern Triangle countries in 
Central America, similar to what Sanders and Warren had in their plans. 
EFTA00047417

Alex said Biden has repeatedly emphasized to him personally that he's committed 
to spending considerable political capital to achieve a comprehensive overhaul of 
the immigration laws if he's elected president. Alex said that will include legislation to 
provide citizenship for the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the 
country. 
In the Telemundo interview last night, Biden said he supports allowing 
undocumented immigrants to benefit from his proposed expansion of the 
Affordable Care Act, specifically the public option. He quipped that as he builds out 
Obamacare, it will eventually become "Bidencare." 
"And they'd be able to buy in just like anyone else could," Biden said of undocumented 
immigrants. 
Biden's plan will be more moderate than his rivals. So far, the biggest flashpoint in 
the Democratic immigration debate this year has been over whether to repeal a portion 
of the law that makes it a criminal offense to illegally enter the United States. The 
proposal was first made by former housing secretary Julian Castro, the first candidate to 
publish a detailed immigration plan, and it targets Section 1325 of the U.S. Immigration 
and Nationality Act, which the Trump administration used to defend its family separation 
policies. Sanders and Warren endorsed Castro's idea. 
Biden still opposes repealing Section 1325, and that won't change. He said during 
one of the debates that changing the law could incentivize more illegal immigration. 
"Repealing that section could undermine our immigration system. It could undermine 
efforts to combat human smuggling," Alex said in an interview. "It would shift an 
additional burden into the immigration court system. Additionally, if the logic behind 
ending 1325 is to end family separation, there are likely at least eight other laws on the 
books that someone nefarious and anti-immigrant like Trump could use to separate 
families. So the problem isn't 1325. The problem is Donald Trump." 
Biden's lack of contrition for the Obama administration's deportation record 
threatens to become a bigger hurdle as the field winnows and the contrasts 
sharpen. Overshadowed by the impeachment inquiry, plus the ideological clashes over 
EFTA00047418

Medicare-for-all, the immigration issue has drifted to the backburner of the Democratic 
conversation since the spring and summer.But Latinos are poised to play a potentially 
pivotal role in the Nevada caucuses on Feb. 22, the third early state, and then when 
Super Tuesday arrives on March 3, when California, Texas and Colorado go to the polls. 
"I think the big question for Biden is whether he will learn from what the Obama 
administration failed at when it came to immigration," said Marielena Hincapie, 
executive director of the National Immigration Law Center, in an interview. "He must 
recognize that we are in a different place and what the Trump administration has 
exposed is what happens when immigration agencies, whether it be Immigration and 
Customs Enforcement or the Border Patrol, are allowed to continue to grow and to do so 
without any accountability or liability. What we're experiencing right now is part of the 
mechanism and machinery that the Obama administration put into place." 
Biden disputes this criticism. "They would have been able to do that before that 
structure," he said on Telemundo. "They could have done that if we didn't do anything."

in Miami if they would provide health care for undocumented immigrants. (Wilfredo MAP)
— The sit-down with Telemundo is part of a strategy to convey to Latinos that he's 
not taking them for granted after his national coalitions director Vanessa 
Cardenas, his most senior Latina staffer, quit last month. She told at least two 
allies that she was frustrated her advice on immigration wasn't being heeded, 
according to Politico. "The campaign is just hyper-focused on whites in Iowa and African-
Americans and it placed less value on Latino outreach," an unnamed immigration activist 
and friend who spoke with her told Marc Caputo. "Vanessa kept banging her head 
against the wall trying to get them to take the community more seriously. And Biden just 
really won't change when it comes to the way he talks about immigration. It became too 
much." 
Biden acknowledged Cardenas's frustrations during a conference call with 
reporters last week when he was asked about her departure. The candidate 
EFTA00047419

complimented the "very, very good" work she did for him and insisted that Latino 
outreach is one of his priorities. He said he has no choice but to spend as much time 
as possible in Iowa and New Hampshire because he didn't join the race until April. "I can 
understand her frustration, in terms of the number of days" spent in certain states, Biden 
said, according to the Associated Press. "I understand her frustration. I'm getting the 
same thing, and I'm sure every candidate is, no matter what state you're in, why you're 
not spending more time in other states. I wish her well. I'm sorry she was frustrated." 
Cardenas did not respond to a request for comment. 
— Just days after she stepped down, on Nov. 22, Biden clashed with immigration 
activist Carlos Rojas when he asked the former vice president if he would pledge 
to halt deportations. Biden said no, explaining that he will prioritize deportations only 
for "people who have committed a felony of serious crime." When Rojas, who noted that 
he was a volunteer for the 2008 Obama-Biden campaign, countered by saying that he 
became disenchanted with the Obama administration after it deported so many people, 
Biden suggested that maybe Rojas "should vote for Trump." 
— There have been other, smaller missteps. In October, the Biden campaign unveiled 
"a national network of Latino supporters" called "Todos Con Biden." But they didn't 
reserve the URL for the web site or the Twitter handle. The Trump campaign snapped 
up both and used them to troll Biden with unflattering content. "Oops, Joe forgot about 
Latinos," the landing page on todosconbiden.com says in English and Spanish, with a 
link to Trump's Latino outreach page. 
Notably, none of the Democratic presidential candidates are calling to abolish 
ICE. For a while last year, that looked like it might become a new litmus test from 
the left. Warren said she believes the agency needs to be "reorganized significantly." 
Sanders spokeswoman Beier) Sisa said the Vermont senator believes in breaking up 
ICE to curtail an agency that he believes has been "completely unaccountable to some 
of the monstrosities" that have occurred in the last three years. 
Castro supports maintaining some of the ICE and DHS operations he considers 
critical to U.S. safety. His spokesman Sawyer Hackett pointed out that there are 
EFTA00047420

investigators within these agencies that conduct a lot of work around sex and drug 
trafficking. "We can maintain those components while also moving the [Enforcement and 
Removal] section of ICE to the Department of Justice where we have more oversight 
and more accountability of those agencies," Hackett explained. 
-- For now, Biden is polling well among Latinos, something he touted during last 
night's interview. A Telemundo poll published last month showed Biden holding on to 
the support of 26 percent of Latino voters who identify as Democrats, with Sanders in 
second place at 18 percent. Warren trailed with 10 percent and Castro, the only Latino 
candidate in the race, polled at 2 percent.But even his boosters acknowledge that the 
race remains as fluid among this constituency as the electorate at large.Just like with 
African Americans, there is something of a generational divide between older Latinos 
and younger members of the community who tend to be more liberal and want bolder 
proposals.

MORE ON BIDEN: 
EFTA00047421

— The former vice president got into a testy back-and-forth yesterday afternoon 
with an Iowa farmer who called him too old to be president and challenged him on 
his son's activities in Ukraine, prompting the former vice president to call the man 
"a damn liar" and challenge him to take an IQ test. "You're damn near as old as I 
am," the farmer said at a town hall meeting in New Hampton, Iowa. "You're too old for 
the job. I'm 83, and I know damn well I don't have the mental faculties I did 30 years 
ago. ... We all know Trump has been messing around in the Ukraine over there, holding 
their foreign aid ... saying they're going to investigate you. But you, on the other hand, 
sent your son over there to get a job and work for a gas company that he had no 
experience with gas or nothing, to get access to the president. You're selling access to 
the president just like he was." 
"You're a damn liar, man," Biden replied. "That's not true. And no one has ever said 
that." 
"The hell it ain't," the man replied. "I see it on the TV." 
Biden said he played no role in getting his son the job on the board of Burisma. Although 
Hunter Biden got that job when his father was vice president, with little to no relevant 
experience, there is no evidence that Joe Biden was "selling access to the president."
