LOS ANGELES, June 25 () -- Asian and Latino civil and immigrant rights groups in California Monday voiced their dissatisfaction over the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on the Arizona anti-immigration law.A rally and vigil in response to the Supreme Court ruling announcement on the constitutionality of Arizona's immigration law was held Monday afternoon in front of the U.S. Federal Court building in Los Angeles, organized by civil and immigrants' rights groups, Asian and Latino community leaders.The U.S. Supreme Court Monday invalidated critical provisions of the Arizona anti-immigration law, SB1070, holding that those provisions are preempted by federal law.But the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the controversial provision which has led to racial profiling in other states that have enacted similar provisions, according to the Asian Pacific American Legal Center (APALC) in Los Angeles.As a result of the Supreme Court's ruling, local law enforcement officers can no longer criminalize failure to carry immigration registration documents or conduct warrantless arrests, but they can still use the mandate to target individuals based on their appearance and speech if the officers believe that a suspect is in the country illegally, APALC said in a statement."We are pleased that the U.S. Supreme Court reaffirmed the long standing view that the federal government has the ultimate authority on immigration," said Jessica Chia, staff attorney at the Asian American Justice Center (AAJC) and counsel in the Friendly House litigation."However, the Court's decision to uphold racial profiling is deeply troubling and we have grave concerns about how this provision will be implemented, what constitutes 'reasonable suspicion,' and how officers will be able to enforce this provision without discriminating individuals based on appearance or speech," Chia added.Two members of the Asian American Center for Advancing Justice (Advancing Justice), Asian Pacific American Legal Center (APALC) and AAJC, are co-counsel with a coalition of civil rights groups in a separate lawsuit -- that challenged SB1070 because it violates many constitutional rights, including the right to be treated equally regardless of race, the two groups alleged.One of the Friendly House plaintiffs is Jim Shee, a U.S. citizen of Spanish and Chinese descent. In April 2010, when SB1070 was passed, Shee was stopped twice by local law enforcement and asked to provide his identification documents. As a result, he now carries his passport with him at all times in case he is again pulled over and required to prove his right to be in his own country and state."Upholding the narrowest provisions of SB1070 adversely impacts our communities of color. Sanctioning local and state law enforcement to target a person based solely on their ethnicity is inherently unconstitutional and fundamentally contrary to the ideals of our nation," said Reena Arya, staff attorney at the Asian Law Caucus (ALC).The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA), the immigrants' rights group whose members are mostly Latinos, said the "show-me-your-papers" provision essentially condones racial profiling."Thousands upon thousands of people will fall prey to fishing expeditions by anti-immigrant forces," said Angelica Salas, CHIRLA's executive director.In 2011, five U.S. states -- Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, South Carolina and Utah -- enacted similar state immigration enforcement laws. Federal courts have blocked most of the key provisions of these laws, and those injunctions will not immediately be affected by Monday's decision.No other U.S. state has passed a copycat law in 2012, and a growing number of states have realized these laws lead to civil rights abuses for immigrants and citizens, harm businesses, and conflict with fundamental American values of fairness and equality.

? Obama has learnt in April of an al-Qaeda affiliate's foiled plot to blow up a U.S.-bound airliner.?? Hayden said Obama had also been assured that the device did not pose a threat to the public.???The plot involved an upgrade version of the underwear bomb.? WASHINGTON, May 7 () -- The White House said on Monday that President Barack Obama has learnt in April of an al-Qaeda affiliate's foiled plot to blow up a U.S.-bound airliner.The White House National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said Obama had also been assured that the device did not pose a threat to the public."The president thanks all intelligence and counterterrorism professionals involved for their outstanding work and for serving with the extraordinary skill and commitment that their enormous responsibilities demand," said Hayden.She also noted that Obama directed agencies "to take whatever steps necessary to guard against this type of attack" and had been regularly briefed by his national security team.U.S. counter-terrorism officials said U.S. international intelligence agencies foiled an attempt by al-Qaeda's affiliate in Yemen to destroy a U.S.-bound airliner one year after the killing of Osama bin Laden, CNN reported on Monday.The plot involved an upgrade version of the underwear bomb that failed to detonate aboard a jetliner over Detroit on Christmas 2009. This new bomb was also designed to be used in a passenger's underwear, but contained a more refined detonation system, U.S. officials said. The suspect had not picked a target or bought a plane ticket when stopped and caught by CIA.A counter-terrorism official told CBS News that the bomb was designed to avoid detection at metal detectors.Details about the plot suspect and the device are not immediately clear.Following the media report, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Department of Homeland Security acknowledged the seizure of an improvised explosive device (IED) designed to carry out a terrorist attack on Monday.The FBI said it is currently in possession of the explosive device and conducting technical and forensics analysis on it. " Initial exploitation indicates that the device is very similar to the IEDs that have been used previously by al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula in attempted terrorist attacks."But the FBI stressed that the device "never presented a threat to public safety", and the U.S. government is working closely with international partners to address the issue.Both the White House and the Department of Homeland Security have said they knew no al-Qaeda threats against the country around the anniversary of the killing of bin Laden."At this time, we have no credible information that terrorist organizations, including al-Qaida, are plotting attacks in the U.S. to coincide with the anniversary of bin Laden's death," White House press secretary Jay Carney said on April 26.The Department of Homeland Security also assured the public last week that it has no indication of "any specific, credible threats or plots against the U.S." tied to the anniversary of bin Laden's death.Related:Al-Qaida in Yemen says its prominent leader killed in U.S. airstrikeSANAA, May 6 () -- The Yemen-based al-Qaida said its prominent leader Fahd al-Quso, a globally wanted terrorist, was killed on Sunday in a U.S. air raid in the mountains of southeastern Shabwa province of the impoverished country."Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) confirmed the killing of its leader Sheikh Fahd al-Quso al-Awlaki in a U.S. air strike on Sunday afternoon in Rafd area in Shabwa," the group said in a statement obtained by .

ADEN, Yemen, March 30 () -- A group of unidentified assailants blew up a gas pipeline on Friday night in the restive southeastern province of Shabwa, which transports gas from the oil- producing Maarib province to Belhaf port on the Arabian Sea, a security official told .Suspected al-Qaida militants sabotaged the oil pipeline, just a few hours after the U.S. drones raided hideouts of the al-Qaida militants in the insurgents-controlled town of Azzan, 150 kilometres east of Ataq, the provincial capital of Shabwa, the local security official said on condition of anonymity.Blowing up the oil pipeline was apparently a retaliatory attack by the al-Qaida operatives, the official said.The official blamed al-Qaida for masterminding the attack, saying that "al-Qaida insurgents have repeatedly attacked Yemen's oil pipelines in Shabwa following any U.S. drone attacks just to take revenge on the Yemeni government."Local residents near the scene confirmed to that they saw smoke rising from the area following the powerful explosion and the fire was still blazing.Earlier in the day, U.S. drones raided dozens of the al-Qaida fighters travelling in a vehicle in a main road of the al-Qaida seized city of Azzan in Shabwa, killing at least seven terrorists and injuring several others, a security official told .Al-Qaida militants who took advantage of the conflicts in the country have seized several towns in Abyan and Shabwa provinces after severe fighting with government troops backed by U.S. drones.In January 2009, al-Qaida affiliates in Saudi Arabia and Yemen officially merged and formed Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula ( AQAP).The group, mainly entrenching itself in Yemen's southern provinces of Abyan and Shabwa, is on the terrorist list of the United States, which considers it as an increasing threat to its national security.The AQAP underscores the challenges faced by Yemen's new President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi who won support from major Yemeni political forces, the United States and Saudi Arabia.Hadi is tasked with restoring security and stability to Yemen and putting an end to growing influence of al-Qaida that threatens the daily oil shipping routes in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
MADRID, March 8 () -- Valencia winger Juan Mata said Tuesday that he and his teammates want to spoil the night for the German fans when Valencia play the return leg of their Champions League tie away to Schalke 04 in Gelsenkirchen on Wednesday night.Valencia travel to Germany needing to score after the 1-1 draw in the Mestalla stadium three weeks ago, when former Real Madrid striker Raul Gonzalez earned Schalke a vital away goal.Since then, however, the Spaniards have been in fine form and look to be cementing their position in third place in the table. That has given the side coached by Unai Emery a big confidence boost and Mata is optimistic they can return home with the right result."I have the feeling that this could be Raul's last game in the Champions League. He's already played a lot of them and now it could be our turn," said Mata in the pages of Tuesday's edition of sports paper Diario AS."We can and we all want to go and spoil the party in Germany," added Mata.Valencia travel to Germany with virtually the entire squad available and just defender Miguel and striker Chori Dominguez missing out along with defender Marius Stankevicius, who was not inscribed in their European squad.Emery's side have won their last two away games in Spain, but the coach believes his players still have things to improve."Our wins do not hide some of our defects and we know that Schalke will not forgive as many errors in defense as we made in Bilbao and Mallorca. We look at things and work together as a group so that in Gelsenkirchen we will see the best possible Valencia and we will have more chances of coming away with a win," said Emery"Schalke are playing at home and have a slight advantage after their 1-1 draw in Valencia. For us that wasn't the best result, but neither was it the worst," he said.
