By Vanessa G. Sánchez, KFF Health News (TNS) LOS ANGELES — President-elect Donald Trump’s promise of mass deportations and tougher immigration restrictions is deepening mistrust of the health care system among California’s immigrants and clouding the future for providers serving the state’s most impoverished residents. At the same time, immigrants living illegally in Southern California told KFF Health News they thought the economy would improve and their incomes might increase under Trump, and for some that outweighed concerns about health care. Community health workers say fear of deportation is already affecting participation in Medi-Cal, the state’s Medicaid program for low-income residents, which was expanded in phases to all immigrants regardless of residency status over the past several years. That could undercut the state’s progress in reducing the uninsured rate, which reached a record low of 6.4% last year. Immigrants lacking legal residency have long worried that participation in government programs could make them targets, and Trump’s election has compounded those concerns, community advocates say. The incoming Trump administration is also expected to target Medicaid with funding cuts and enrollment restrictions , which activists worry could threaten the Medi-Cal expansion and kneecap efforts to extend health insurance subsidies under Covered California to all immigrants. “The fear alone has so many consequences to the health of our communities,” said Mar Velez , director of policy with the Latino Coalition for a Healthy California. “This is, as they say, not their first rodeo. They understand how the system works. I think this machine is going to be, unfortunately, a lot more harmful to our communities.” Alongside such worries, though, is a strain of optimism that Trump might be a boon to the economy, according to interviews with immigrants in Los Angeles whom health care workers were soliciting to sign up for Medi-Cal. Since Election Day, community health worker Yanet Martinez said, people are more reluctant to hear her pitch for subsidized health insurance or cancer prevention screenings. “They think I’m going to share their information to deport them,” Martinez said. (Vanessa G. Sánchez/KFF Health News/TNS) Clinics and community health workers encourage immigrants to enroll for health coverage through Medi-Cal and Covered California. But workers have noticed that fear of deportation has chilled participation. (Vanessa G.

But many California immigrants fear that using subsidized services could hurt their chances of obtaining legal residency. (Vanessa G. Sánchez/KFF Health News/TNS) Since Election Day, community health worker Yanet Martinez said, people are more reluctant to hear her pitch for subsidized health insurance or cancer prevention screenings. “They think I’m going to share their information to deport them,” Martinez said. (Vanessa G. Sánchez/KFF Health News/TNS) Selvin, 39, who, like others interviewed for this article, asked to be identified by only his first name because he’s living here without legal permission, said that even though he believes Trump dislikes people like him, he thinks the new administration could help boost his hours at the food processing facility where he works packing noodles. “I do see how he could improve the economy. From that perspective, I think it’s good that he won.” He became eligible for Medi-Cal this year but decided not to enroll, worrying it could jeopardize his chances of changing his immigration status. “I’ve thought about it,” Selvin said, but “I feel like it could end up hurting me. I won’t deny that, obviously, I’d like to benefit — get my teeth fixed, a physical checkup.” But fear holds him back, he said, and he hasn’t seen a doctor in nine years. It’s not Trump’s mass deportation plan in particular that’s scaring him off, though. “If I’m not committing any crimes or getting a DUI, I think I won’t get deported,” Selvin said. Petrona, 55, came from El Salvador seeking asylum and enrolled in Medi-Cal last year. She said that if her health insurance benefits were cut, she wouldn’t be able to afford her visits to the dentist. A street food vendor, she hears often about Trump’s deportation plan, but she said it will be the criminals the new president pushes out. “I’ve heard people say he’s going to get rid of everyone who’s stealing.” Although she’s afraid she could be deported, she’s also hopeful about Trump. “He says he’s going to give a lot of work to Hispanics because Latinos are the ones who work the hardest,” she said. “That’s good, more work for us, the ones who came here to work.” Newly elected Republican Assembly member Jeff Gonzalez, who flipped a seat long held by Democrats in the Latino-heavy desert region in the southeastern part of the state, said his constituents were anxious to see a new economic direction. “They’re just really kind of fed up with the status quo in California,” Gonzalez said. “People on the ground are saying, ‘I’m hopeful,’ because now we have a different perspective. We have a businessperson who is looking at the very things that we are looking at, which is the price of eggs, the price of gas, the safety.” Gonzalez said he’s not going to comment about potential Medicaid cuts, because Trump has not made any official announcement. Unlike most in his party, Gonzalez said he supports the extension of health care services to all residents regardless of immigration status . Health care providers said they are facing a twin challenge of hesitancy among those they are supposed to serve and the threat of major cuts to Medicaid, the federal program that provides over 60% of the funding for Medi-Cal. Health providers and policy researchers say a loss in federal contributions could lead the state to roll back or downsize some programs, including the expansion to cover those without legal authorization. California and Oregon are the only states that offer comprehensive health insurance to all income-eligible immigrants regardless of status. About 1.5 million people without authorization have enrolled in California, at a cost of over $6 billion a year to state taxpayers. “Everyone wants to put these types of services on the chopping block, which is really unfair,” said state Sen. Lena Gonzalez, a Democrat and chair of the California Latino Legislative Caucus. “We will do everything we can to ensure that we prioritize this.” Sen. Gonzalez said it will be challenging to expand programs such as Covered California, the state’s health insurance marketplace, for which immigrants lacking permanent legal status are not eligible. A big concern for immigrants and their advocates is that Trump could reinstate changes to the public charge policy, which can deny green cards or visas based on the use of government benefits. “President Trump’s mass deportation plan will end the financial drain posed by illegal immigrants on our healthcare system, and ensure that our country can care for American citizens who rely on Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security,” Trump spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said in a statement to KFF Health News. During his first term, in 2019, Trump broadened the policy to include the use of Medicaid, as well as housing and nutrition subsidies. The Biden administration rescinded the change in 2021. KFF, a health information nonprofit that includes KFF Health News, found immigrants use less health care than people born in the United States. And about 1 in 4 likely undocumented immigrant adults said they have avoided applying for assistance with health care, food, and housing because of immigration-related fears, according to a 2023 survey . Another uncertainty is the fate of the Affordable Care Act, which was opened in November to immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children and are protected by the Deferred Action Childhood Arrivals program. If DACA eligibility for the act’s plans, or even the act itself, were to be reversed under Trump, that would leave roughly 40,000 California DACA recipients, and about 100,000 nationwide , without access to subsidized health insurance. On Dec. 9, a federal court in North Dakota issued an order blocking DACA recipients from accessing Affordable Care Act health plans in 19 states that had challenged the Biden administration’s rule. Clinics and community health workers are encouraging people to continue enrolling in health benefits. But amid the push to spread the message, the chilling effects are already apparent up and down the state. “¿Ya tiene Medi-Cal?” community health worker Yanet Martinez said, asking residents whether they had Medi-Cal as she walked down Pico Boulevard recently in a Los Angeles neighborhood with many Salvadorans. “¡Nosotros podemos ayudarle a solicitar Medi-Cal! ¡Todo gratuito!” she shouted, offering help to sign up, free of charge. “Gracias, pero no,” said one young woman, responding with a no thanks. She shrugged her shoulders and averted her eyes under a cap that covered her from the late-morning sun. Since Election Day, Martinez said, people have been more reluctant to hear her pitch for subsidized health insurance or cancer prevention screenings. “They think I’m going to share their information to deport them,” she said. “They don’t want anything to do with it.” This article was produced by KFF Health News , which publishes California Healthline , an editorially independent service of the California Health Care Foundation . ©2024 KFF Health News.

CAPE TOWN, Nov 25 — On a sunny afternoon in Cape Town’s seaside village of Simon’s Town, three young chacma baboons cause a commotion, clambering on roofs, jumping between buildings and swinging on the gutters. Enchanted tourists stop to photograph the troop crossing the road. Locals are less impressed: it’s a daily scene in the charming village nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and Table Mountain National Park. About 500 chacma baboons — among the largest monkey species and weighing up to 40 kg — roam the peninsula south of Cape Town, says the South African National Biodiversity Institute. And as human development pushes up the mountain into their natural habitat, the animals are increasingly entering plush properties to forage in gardens and take the pickings from the bins. Some manage to sneak into houses where they can wreak havoc. Many locals are fond of the creatures, giving them pet names and following their daily adventures on social media. But others are increasingly frustrated. “They’ve become so bold now. They’re more domesticated than they should be,” said Duncan Low, 60, who runs an ice cream shop. The intruders have even started raiding kitchens and grabbing food from plates in restaurants. “They’re on a sugar and fast-food rush,” Low said. In 2021, the city put down a notorious alpha-male monkey who had terrorised residents with more than 40 raids for food in rubbish bins, from lawns and porches, sometimes entering homes while people were inside. Monkey management Tension between humans and baboons is “the highest it’s ever been”, said ecologist Justin O’Riain, who directs the Institute for Communities and Wildlife in Africa at the University of Cape Town. A baboon on the edge of a wild and an urban area is “the most difficult animal in the world to manage”, O’Riain said. “They are strong, they can climb... and they can learn from each other: there’s no landscape that they can’t conquer.” As human settlement of the Cape has expanded, the baboons have been “pushed higher and higher up the mountain” where foraging conditions are harder, O’Riain added. The lush gardens that people have built, with fruit trees and swimming pools, are tempting attractions. The City of Cape Town, in partnership with park authorities, has for years run a programme to manage the marauding monkeys that relies on teams of baboon monitors. They employ a primarily non-lethal approach, O’Riain said. However, some techniques, such as firing paintball guns to keep troops away or culling a particularly problematic animal, have come under fire. Amid an increasingly emotional outcry, vociferous campaigner Baboon Matters announced court action against the city and parks authorities in May for failing to implement what it considers more acceptable control measures, such as baboon-proof fencing and bins. Facing criticism and funding limits, the authorities said the baboon management programme would be wound down by the end of the year as they investigate other “more sustainable urban solutions”. It will however remain in place through December — a particularly busy month for tourists — but with fewer rangers, it said. “We’re going to lose our first line of defence,” O’Riain said, with more baboons already entering urban areas often at risk to their lives. Deaths highest in 10 years Thirty-three baboons were known to have died between July 2023 and June 2024, the highest number in 10 years, city authorities say. Nearly half the deaths were caused by human factors, including shooting with pellet guns, collisions with vehicles and dog attacks. Coexistence with baboons should come with “a degree of human compliance”, starting with managing food waste, conservation activist Lynda Silk, head of the Cape Peninsula Civil Conservation group, said. “We don’t need to be in competition with our natural resources: there can be ways that we can manage our lifestyles to minimise the negative impacts,” she said. For O’Riain, the only viable solution to the baboon battle is to erect fencing in certain areas that is made up of electric wiring and underground mesh to prevent the animals from digging underneath. A prototype installed 11 years ago had shown great success, with almost no animals entering the area, he said. A 2023 report already suggested where the fencing should be placed. “Baboons can come and forage right up to the edge of the fence and no one will disturb them,” said O’Riain. “It’s a completely peaceful interaction, a win-win for people and for baboons.” — AFP

The supply chain management firm Blue Yonder has confirmed a ransomware attack. The scale of the incident has disrupted its services, and the impact has affected many customers. The logistics company has more than 3,000 clients around the world. According to Blue Yonder, the firm says it has “experienced disruptions to its managed services hosted environment”. Subsequent investigation confirmed that it was a ransomware attack.” This continues: “Since learning of the incident, the Blue Yonder team has been working diligently together with external cybersecurity firms to make progress in their recovery process. We have implemented several defensive and forensic protocols,” the announcement reads. “With respect to the Blue Yonder Azure public cloud environment, we are actively monitoring and currently do not see any suspicious activity.” Following the news of the ransomware attack on Blue Yonder, Digital Journal heard from Steve Cobb, CISO at SecurityScorecard . Cobb begins by laying out the background of the incident and the residual impact: “Blue Yonder, a supply chain software provider serving U.S. and U.K. grocery chains, was hit by a ransomware attack. The attack significantly impacted two of the four largest grocery chains in the U.K., causing operational disruptions and forcing these retailers to revert to backup processes. In the U.S., prominent chains, including Kroger and Albertsons, rely on Blue Yonder, underscoring the potential widespread implications of this incident.” Next Cobb considers why retail is often in the sights of cyber-criminals: “The supplier ecosystem is a highly desirable target for ransomware groups. Third-party breach victims are often not aware of an incident until they receive a ransomware note, allowing time for attackers to infiltrate numerous companies without being detected. These organizations house vast amounts of sensitive data, making them prime targets for threat actors and amplifying the attack surface of a single breach.” Cobb also assesses the targets of the attack: “These supply chain attacks typically focus on data security and privacy concerns”. In terms of what retailers can do to try and prevent future attacks of this nature, Cobb recommends: “Organizations should approach these incidents with a broader focus on cyber resiliency, considering how these attacks impact their ability to serve customers and recover business operations. Organizations must consider this a wake-up call to enhance proactive security measures, including their third-party providers.” In addition, Cobb puts forward: “A robust approach includes continuous monitoring and comprehensive visibility across supply chain risk. By implementing these processes, organizations can navigate their supply chain cybersecurity and better equip themselves for attacks.” Dr. Tim Sandle is Digital Journal's Editor-at-Large for science news.Tim specializes in science, technology, environmental, business, and health journalism.

A coffee-table book, Pudhu Mandapam , authored by photographer and traveller, Amar Ramesh, was released here on Friday. President of Thiagarajar College, Uma Kannan, released the book and Chairperson of Meenakshi Sundareswarar Temple Board of Trustees, Rukmini Palanivel Rajan, received the first copy. Lauding the works of Mr. Amar, Ms. Rukmini said that the book was the next step in preserving and recording the archaeological marvels. The elegance of the sculptures of the mandapam constructed during Naicker regime in 1635 was very well captured by Mr. Amar, she said. Ms. Uma said that the book bridged the past and the present and brought into life the timeless beauty of Pudhu Mandapam. The book has captured the artistic excellence of Pudhu Mandapam through a collection of stunning photographs and has delved deep into the ancient heritage of its numerous stone sculptures. “It was a testimony to the artistic brilliance, finest artistry and dedication of our traditional craftsmen,” she pointed out. The photographs exhibited the finest details of the expressions and moods of the stone sculptures that were brought to life at a time when there had been no sophisticated tools or technology. Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Amar said that his attempt was to make a coffee-table book that the pictures of the sculptures could inspire interior designers, architects, jewellers and dress designers. He said that the monuments filled with details and intricacies encouraged him to bring out the book with an aim to redefine books on temples. Dean and Professor in Architecture, Thiagarajar College of Engineering, G. Balaji, dwelled upon the history of Pudhu Mandapam. Thiagarajar College Principal, D. Pandiaraja, welcomed the gathering.

A double-digit victory in a packed, loud arena. Toughness from a deep, experienced lineup that once again is driven to win an elusive national championship. And, peeking a few seasons ahead, he saw an SDSU team that he views more as a future Pac-12 partner than rival. Behind big man Graham Ike and guard Ryan Nembhard, Gonzaga displayed its size, speed and strength in beating Brian Dutcher's young, hobbled squad 80-67 on Monday night. The Bulldogs returned the favor after SDSU won 84-74 last December at The Kennel in Spokane, which ended their 59-game nonconference winning streak. Both teams reached the Sweet Sixteen last season. Gonzaga is the only team in the nation to reach the Sweet Sixteen the last nine seasons as the Bulldogs extended their streak of NCAA Tournament appearances to 25 straight. Back in Spokane on Wednesday night, the Zags improved to 5-0 by routing Long Beach State 84-41, no doubt firing up expectations in the Lilac City and beyond. In a college sports climate dominated by NIL and the transfer portal, the Zags are stacked. Of the 12 possible players who could return from last year, 10 did, including all four starters. They returned 81% of last season's scoring and 71% of their rebounding. Six of its top seven scorers are back, along with 81.4% of minutes played. “We're tougher,” Few said. “We're physically tougher, we're mentally tougher, at least so far in the season. A lot of the same guys from last year. That's what happens when you stick around a couple of years. “You've got to have both to be able to go on the road in a place like this and dig out wins," Few added. "That's one thing San Diego State is going to bring. They're going to bring physicality, they're going to bring great athleticism, they're going to challenge you in every facet of the game.” Hoops powerhouse Gonzaga announced on Oct. 1 that it will move from the West Coast Conference, where it has dominated for most of the last quarter-century, into a Pac-12 conference being rebuilt around football. Beginning with the 2026-27 academic year, Gonzaga will become the eighth member along with holdovers Washington State and Oregon State, and fellow newcomers Boise State, San Diego State, Fresno State, Utah State and Colorado State from the Mountain West. While not as dominant as the Zags, the Aztecs have been one of the West Coast's best programs for several years, first under Steve Fisher and then Dutcher, his longtime assistant who is in his eighth season as head coach. “They're just going to be such a great partner, because they value basketball and they support basketball,” said Few, who's in his 26th season as head coach. “They understand, when you have a national program like we both have, it pays unbelievable dividends to the university, to the community, to the city and the state, like the Northwest and down here. They get that. We're looking for other like-minded places to partner with us.” Few said he would often chat with Fisher about the possibility of the Zags and Aztecs playing in the same conference. Fisher watches Aztecs games with his wife, Angie, from the second row above Steve Fisher Court. “We talked about it forever,” Few said. “I'm happy for Dutch. He's doing a great job." San Diego State reached its first Final Four in 2023, when Lamont Butler's thrilling buzzer-beater against Florida Atlantic lifted the Aztecs into the national championship game, where they lost 76-59 to UConn. SDSU was routed again by UConn, 82-52, in last season's Sweet Sixteen, while Gonzaga lost to Purdue. Gonzaga opened this season with a 101-63 win against then-No. 8 Baylor at the Spokane Arena. It was Gonzaga’s biggest victory margin over a top-10 opponent, over a team it lost to in the 2021 national title game in Indianapolis. Nembhard, who had 19 points and 10 assists against the Aztecs, said the Zags “did a really good job, actually,” of handling the pressure of playing at Viejas Arena. "Every time they went on a little run and the crowd got loud, we did a good job staying composed and trusting our offensive sets.” Nembhard will be gone when the Bulldogs and Aztecs are in the Pac-12 together, but thinks "the rivalry will be great. This is a great program. I played them a couple of times at Creighton, and they always gave us a tough game. They have a great fan base, a great coach over there, and they play really hard. I think it’ll be a great rivalry to come.” ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .
