Del 2 al 8 de junio de 2025, el Pew Research Center encuestó a 5.044 adultos estadounidenses sobre sus opiniones sobre algunas de las medidas migratorias más importantes del gobierno, el temor a ser deportados que expresaron cerca de un 25 por ciento de los adultos estadounidenses, y las percepciones del proyecto de ley llamado oficialmente One Big Beautiful Bill Act (Un gran y bello proyecto de ley).

Hay varias medidas migratorias que ha puesto en marcha el gobierno que dividen a los estadounidenses, mientras varias fueron percibidas negativamente.

Por ejemplo, el 50 por ciento está a favor y el 49 por ciento en contra del uso de policías estatales y locales en iniciativas de deportación; el 49 por ciento está a favor y el 50 por ciento en contra de sobre ofrecer dinero para quienes abandonan el país voluntariamente; el 49 por ciento está a favor, el 50 por ciento en contra de asignar más empleados federales en acciones para deportación.

Entre las medidas menos populares se encuentran: deportar a inmigrantes a prisiones en El Salvador (desaprobado por el 61 por ciento de los encuestados), suspender casi todas las opciones para aplicar por asilo en el país (rechazado por el 60 por ciento), terminar con el estatus de protección temporal o TPS por sus siglas en inglés (visto en contra por el 59 por ciento de los encuestados).

Las opiniones sobre políticas migratorias se dividen en gran medida según la afiliación partidista: los republicanos las apoyan en su mayoría y los demócratas las rechazan. Por ejemplo, el 78 por ciento de los republicanos y los independientes que apoyan al partido lo aprueban, y solo el 12 por ciento no lo aprueba. Por otro lado, el 81 por ciento de los demócratas lo desaprueban, con un 63 por ciento que lo desaprueba firmemente y solo el 9 por ciento que lo aprueba.

La mayoría de los demócratas (89 por ciento) apoya que los inmigrantes indocumentados puedan quedarse legalmente en Estados Unidos, frente al 41 por ciento de los republicanos. En 2017, el 61 por ciento de los republicanos y el 88 por ciento de los demócratas tenían esa opinión.

En la encuesta, la mayoría de los estadounidenses (65 por ciento) cree que los inmigrantes que viven ilegalmente en el país deberían poder quedarse legalmente.

En cuanto al proyecto de ley denominada oficialmente “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (Un gran y bello proyecto de ley), que recortaría programas de salud, nutrición, educación, energía limpia e impuestos —proporcionando mayores ahorros a los ricos—, y destinaría más dinero al ejército y a la lucha contra la migración, los estadounidenses dicen que tendría efectos negativos para el país.

La mayoría (54 por ciento) cree que será malo para el país y la mitad (51 por ciento) espera que el proyecto de ley aumente el déficit presupuestario.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (AP) — Six people were killed when a small plane crashed minutes after taking off from an Ohio airport, officials said.

The twin-engine Cessna 441 turboprop crashed near Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport on Sunday morning, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

There were no survivors in the crash, Western Reserve Port Authority Executive Director Anthony Trevena said at a news conference. The agency owns the airport.

Agency records show the plane was registered to Meander Air LLC of Warren, Ohio.

Trumbull County Coroner Lawrence D’Amico on Monday identified the victims as the pilot, Joseph Maxin, 63; co-pilot Timothy Blake, 55; and passengers Veronica Weller, 68; her husband, James Weller, 67; their son, John Weller, 36, and his wife, Maria Weller, 34. Blake and the passengers were all Hubbard residents, while Maxin lived in Canfield.

D’Amico said the family — which owns steel manufacturing plants in the Youngstown-Warren area — was heading for a vacation in Montana.

Maxin was the port authority’s director of compliance and also a former assistant prosecutor for the Mahoning County Prosecutor’s Office. A statement issued by the authority called Maxin “a selfless public servant and pilot (who) dedicated his life to serving the Mahoning Valley.”

It was difficult to get to the site of the crash in a heavily wooded area, Howland Township Fire Chief Raymond Pace said.

“This is an extremely tragic situation, but it could have been worse,” Pace said, noting that there were three houses near the spot where the plane crashed.

Publicly available flight tracking data showed that the plane’s destination was Bozeman, Montana, said Michael Hillman, president of aviation company JETS FBO Network.

“These were the best of the best in terms of the folks here at the field, as well as the pilots. I can’t say enough about them,” Hillman said at the news conference. “I’d give anything to rewind the day and take them to breakfast instead.”

The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating.

Mayor Anne Burt has helped foster a vibrant and welcoming community, according to the Woodbury city council.

Burt was honored by the League of Minnesota Cities last week with the Emerging Leader award, which recognizes elected officials “who are early in their municipal government role and have made meaningful contributions to their city.” Burt was first elected mayor in November 2018.

The league presented awards to city leaders and cities, including Mounds View, during its annual conference Thursday in Duluth.

“Mayor Anne Burt exemplifies this rare combination of dedication, vision, and selfless service,” Edina Mayor James Hovland said in a letter of support to the league. “Her leadership has been marked by humility, integrity, and a focus on collective impact. She elevates others, listens carefully, and guides with clarity—always keeping the broader community impact at heart.”

Burt was recognized for her commitment to public service, support for local organizations and ability to lead Woodbury through challenges including PFAS water contamination, COVID and the murder of George Floyd, according to the league.

“Simply put, in times of challenges and celebrations, obstacles and opportunities, Mayor Burt’s leadership has never wavered,” stated the Woodbury City Council in its letter of support.

95% of Woodbury residents rate the city a good or excellent place to live, with the city council having an approval rating of 95% – data the league credits to Burt’s leadership qualities.

Other city leaders who received awards include Circle Pines Mayor Dave Bartholomay and Dilworth City Administrator L. Peyton Mastera.

Mounds View received a City of Excellence award, which “recognizes cities for outstanding programs or projects,” according to the league.

Mounds View was honored for its “comprehensive effort to identify and remove restrictive covenants or clauses that prohibit property ownership or occupancy based on race from residential property deeds,” as part of its Discharge of Discriminatory Covenants initiative, according to the league.

Though the discriminatory clauses are unenforceable through state and federal laws, the city of Mounds View continues to acknowledge the historical harm of the clauses and champion inclusive efforts in partnership with the University of Minnesota, according to the league.

The safety message of “Start Seeing Motorcycles” will take on more meaning in Minnesota on Tuesday as lane splitting and filtering for motorcyclists become legal.

Passed in the 2024 legislative session, the law takes effect on Tuesday.

“Our concern is for the safety and the lives of riders and drivers all across the state,” said Minnesota Office of Traffic Safety Director Mike Hanson on Monday. “Remember that safety is a shared responsibility. Everybody is going to have to practice and proceed with caution, awareness and patience.”

Here’s what to know about the new law, which Minnesota Motorcycle Safety Center’s Jay Bock calls “lane sharing” overall. It “allows motorcycles to share a lane with vehicles when it is appropriate, at the proper speed,” he said.

What is lane splitting, when does it apply?

Lane splitting allows a motorcycle to pass another vehicle in the same direction of travel and in the same traffic lane.

It’s permitted when two or more lanes of traffic are traveling in the same direction and traffic is moving.

Motorcyclists can lane split at no more than 15 mph over the speed of other traffic. For example, if traffic is crawling along at 5 mph, a motorcyclist’s maximum speed for lane splitting would be 20 mph.

Under all circumstances, the maximum speed for lane splitting is 25 mph.

What is lane filtering, when does it apply?

Lane filtering lets motorcyclists move through traffic that is stopped. It’s allowed when there are two or more lanes of traffic traveling in the same direction. It can be used in situations such as a traffic jam or drivers stopped at a traffic light.

At a demonstration on Monday, motorcyclists slowly pulled up between vehicles stopped at a red light at Minnesota’s Driver and Vehicle Services Eagan-South Metro Exam Station. They then advanced ahead of the vehicles when the light turned green.

Motorcyclists cannot travel more than 15 mph when using lane filtering.

When is lane splitting and filtering not allowed?

The new law does not apply to:

Round-abouts.
In a school zone.
In a work zone when only a single travel lane is available.
On an on-ramp to a freeway or expressway.

Why did this become law?

The American Motorcyclist Association supports lane splitting and filtering, and cites a University of California, Berkeley, analysis released in 2015. It “found that lane-splitting is relatively safe if done in traffic moving at 50 mph or less, and if motorcyclists do not exceed the speed of other vehicles by more than 15 mph.

Minnesota’s law says motorcyclists can’t travel more than 25 mph while lane filtering.

Minnesotan Phil Stalboerger advocated for the changes after he was rear-ended on his motorcycle while in traffic, which caused leg fractures to his wife, who was a passenger. He told legislators about the crash as a way to keep it from happening to other people.

“With this new ability to filter through slow-moving traffic and at stoplights, riders in Minnesota will benefit from increased safety on the open road,” American Motorcyclist Association Central States Representative Nick Sands said in a statement last year.

Did the Minnesota Department of Public Safety back this change?

DPS did not sponsor the legislation, Hanson said.

“This wasn’t an initiative that we brought forward,” he said. “Our position was we had some concerns with this. We all know our roads are busier and more congested than they’ve ever been, and we’re adding another element to that roadway congestion and all of the busyness going on around it. And so there were some concerns raised with how we could roll this out effectively and safely for everybody.”

The legislature appropriated $200,000 to the Office of Traffic Safety to educate people in the state over the last year.

Advice to motorcyclists and drivers?

Motorcyclists should keep in mind factors such as lane width, size of surrounding vehicles, weather, lighting conditions and whether they are visible to drivers.

“Riders, this is not a free pass for dangerous driving behaviors,” Hanson said. “Take it slow.”

Bock emphasized that while lane splitting and filtering is becoming legal, “they are not mandatory, and they’re not always the best option. Motorcyclists should use their best judgment about it and when they can do it safely.”

Upon reaching 25 miles an hour, motorcyclists are required to return to an assigned lane, Bock said.

“It is the responsibility of motorcyclists to practice these maneuvers safely,” he said. “Motorists … cannot impede, block or get in the way of a motorcyclist.”

Drivers should “respect that the riders have that right and to allow them the space to do that,” Hanson said. “… Never use your cell phone while driving or be distracted in any other way.”
