STRASBOURG Adidas AlphaBounce Beyond España Baratas , Feb. 11 (Xinhua) -- The European Parliament (EP) on Wednesday voted to bolster counter-terrorism efforts within the European Union (EU) while maintaining privacy rights for individuals.
Measures proposed in the resolution include heightened security at external borders and improved cooperation and data sharing to aid law enforcement authorities and EU agencies to protect the public against terrorist threats.
The resolution also highlighted the need for greater efforts to confront what has been seen as a "growing threat" by Europeans who return after training and fighting with terrorist groups abroad. In a report on January 26, the International Center for the Study of Radicalisation (UK) estimated nearly 4,000 European-born fighters are currently in Syria and Iraq.
The proposals include a "multi-layer" approach to fighting radicalization, with programs to invest in educational and social schemes Adidas AlphaBounce Beyond España , counterbalances for online incitement, the disruption of financial support mechanisms for terrorist groups, and de-radicalization programs.
These measures carry particular weight after January's terrorist attacks in Paris, which were carried out by French nationals Adidas Prophere Trace Olive Hombre España , one of whom had spent time in Yemen, where he was suspected to have received training and financial support.
The push for greater security, however, "must not compromise fundamental rights Pharrell Adidas NMD Hu Trail Trail Hombre Blancas España ," says the resolution, with proposals for how checks and limitations on data collection and surveillance measures should maintain the rights of European citizens.
The limits of counter-terrorism measures were underlined by another resolution passed on Wednesday, which announced that the EP would resume investigations into allegations that several EU countries aided the American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in illegal counter-terrorism operations.
Investigations had already begun in 2006 by an EP temporary committee, but will be resumed in light of a US Senate report published in December 2014 which details the use of torture by CIA agents Pharrell Williams Adidas Tennis HU Hombre Multicolor España , and alleges that several EU nations hosted so-called "black sites" for the interrogations.
The EP condemned the "gruesome interrogation practices" used by the CIA, and called for an end to impunity for officials and participants involved in the scheme, including alleged collaborators from the EU.
CHICAGO, Sept. 16 (Xinhua) -- A Federal judge on Friday blockthe Justice Department from withholding funds from public-safetyprograms to deter the sanctuary city policies aimed at protectingimmigrants.
U.S. District Judge Harry Leinenweber ruled that the JusticeDepartment could not impose those requirements Adidas Ultra Boost 4.0 Marina Multicolor Hombre Marina Azules España , addressing that ifthe city was forced to carry them out before settling the lawsuit,there would be irreparable damage to the immigrant community.
"Once such trust is lost, it cannot be repaired through an awardof money damages, making it the type of harm that is especiallyhard to rectify Adidas Ultra Boost Laceless Hombre Negras España ," Leinenweber stated in the ruling.
The ruling came in the wake of changes of the Trumpadministration's immigration policy.
The lawsuit was filed against threats by the Trumpadministration that federal funding would be cut to uncooperativecities. Those places don't work with federal immigration officersto deport residents who illegally immigrated to the United States.Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said in a statement that the rulingshows a clear conclusion that Trump is wrong.
"It means essential resources for public safety will not comewith unlawful strings attached, and the Trump justice departmentcannot continue to coerce us into violating and abandoning ourvalues," Emanuel said during a press conference in Chicago.
Attorney General Sessions criticized Chicago in a statementthrough the Department of Justice in late June, claiming the citywas "undermining federal laws that would remove criminal Adidas Ultra Boost 4.0 Hombre Blancas España , illegalaliens from the streets and remove them from this country."
Ed Siskel, attorney for the city of Chicago, claimed theconditions Attorney General Sessions added are unconstitutional andunlawful. One of these conditions would force the Chicago PoliceDepartment to hold suspects longer than 48 hours, contrary to alimit that is constitutionally mandated.
At stake was 3.2 million dollars to achieve new law enforcementstrategies through the Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Supreme Negras Rojas España , thetop federal funding source for state and local law enforcementagencies. This comes in the wake of the Justice Department reportreleased in January that addressed the ongoing surge of violence inChicago.
Earlier this week city officials asked for a temporaryinjunction to be implemented nationwide against the requirementsimposed by the Justice Department until the lawsuit could be playedout in court.
Mayor Emanuel declined to comment on whether he thought theTrump administration would find another way to deny the federalgrant.Leinenweber agreed that Attorney General Sessions oversteppedhis executive office by imposing such conditions on the city bythreatening to withhold much needed funding for lawenforcement.
