Police officers in Indiana are upset over a new law allowing residents to use deadly force against public servants, including law enforcement officers, who unlawfully enter their homes. The first of its kind in the United States, the law was adopted after the state Supreme Court went too far in one of its rulings last year, according to supporters. The case in question involved a man who assaulted an officer during a domestic violence call. The court ruled that there was "no right to reasonably resist unlawful entry by police officers." The National Rifle Association lobbied for the new law, arguing that the court decision had legalized police to commit unjustified entries. Tim Downs, president of the Indiana State Fraternal Order of Police, which opposed the legislation, said the law could open the way for people who are under the influence or emotionally distressed to attack officers in their homes. "It's just a recipe for disaster," Downs told Bloomberg. "It just puts a bounty on our heads." Does this new law put police and other law enforcement personnel in more danger?

A sigh of relief this morning from the capitals of Europe to the concrete canyons of Wall Street after a pro-bailout party led by an American-educated economist won the most votes in the Greek election. The conservative New Democracy Party of Antonis Samaras garnered about 30% of the vote and should be able to form a coalition with another old-line party, the socialist PASOK, which finished third. Reporter Toula Vlahou is in Athens following the Greek election and joins Tony this morning.
A new immigration policy will stop deporting and begin granting work permits to younger illegal immigrants who have lived in the U.S. as children and led law-abiding lives. The Obama administration plan bypasses Congress and also partly achieves goals of th e DREAM Act, which is a plan never enacted that establishes a citizenship plan for young people who came to this country but never attended college or served in the military. A 2010 version of the DREAM Act failed in the Senate after it passed the House. Under the plan, illegal immigrants will be immune from deportation if they were brought to the United States before they turned 16 and are currently younger than 30, have been in the country for a minimum of five continuous years, have no criminal history, graduated from high school or earned a GED, or served in the military. They can also apply for a work permit that will be good for two years with no limits on how many times it can be renewed. Polls indicate that President Obama leads Mitt Romney among Hispanic voters by a considerable margin, but a majority of Latinos also disapprove of the president’s handling of deportations. In 2011, Immigration and Customs Enforcement deported a record 396,906 people and this ye ar is expected to deport about 400,000 people.To book a 2-way please call 212 301 5880., please then call 212 301 5800.
