Judge rejects Filipino nurses' NY bias claims

GARDEN CITY, New York — A federal judge has rejected discrimination claims filed by 26 Filipino nurses in New York.

The nurses said they were forced to quit their jobs at nursing homes in New York City and suburban Long Island. They said agreements made about working conditions before they left their homeland were not honored by their U.S. employers.

An administrative law judge ruled June 30 that the resignations were not protected by federal immigration employment law.

The nurses' immigration attorney said he was disappointed the ruling was made without a hearing. He is considering an appeal.

Ten of the nurses had faced misdemeanor charges for endangering sick patients by quitting their jobs at a nursing home in Suffolk County on Long Island, east of New York City. A state appellate court ruled in January that the prosecution was unconstitutional.

The nurses were recruited from the Philippines to help ease a staffing shortage in the U.S.

The case sparked outrage and protests in the Philippines over the way the nurses were treated by the company that hired them. - AP

PCG: China’s bullying in West Philippine Sea undermines international law --- Ghio Ong - The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines — Letting China sustain its aggression in the West Philippine Sea would make other countries doubt the strength of international law currently being asserted by the Philippines, Commodore Jay Tarriela of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said. “Allowing China to blatantly disregard the established rules-based order threatens the very foundation that we all depend on,” he wrote in a post on X last Tuesday. He added, “If we permit this, countries worldwide may forget why this order was created in the first place. Nations could begin to doubt the significance of adhering to international law if powerful bullies can easily violate it.” Tarriela also said defiance of other countries to a rules-based order would result in the prevalence of cruelty. He wrote, “This could lead us back to a time when might makes right, undermining the global structures that keep human greed, savagery and barbarism in check. Such a scenario would not only invite challenges from aggressive ...

Hezbollah kills 8 Zionist troops; 65 martyred in Gaza ----Agencies

JERUSALEM/BEIRUT: The Zionist entity said on Wednesday eight of its soldiers were killed in combat in south Lebanon as its forces thrust into its northern neighbor in a campaign against Hezbollah. The losses were the deadliest suffered by the Zionist military on the Lebanon front in the past year of border-area clashes between the Zionist entity and its Iranian-backed Lebanese foe. Hezbollah said its fighters were engaging Zionist forces inside Lebanon on Wednesday, reporting ground clashes for the first time since Zionist forces pushed over the border. Hezbollah said it had destroyed three Zionist Merkava tanks with rockets near the border town of Maroun El Ras. The Zionist military said regular infantry and armored units were joining its ground operations in Lebanon, a day after Iran fired 200 missiles into the Zionist entity, a barrage which raised concerns that the oil-producing Middle East could be caught up in a wider conflict. Zionist military strikes across the Gaza Strip kil...
