Statement from Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos A.

Among the hospital leaders in the virtual meeting were CEOs from Jackson Health , U-Health , Mount Sinai , Baptist , HCA and Tenet health systems .

I will be signing the order later tonight .
It will continue to require masks indoors in public spaces , such as office buildings , stores and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 20-20 , which I signed on April 9 .
The amendment to this order that I plan to sign will expand on the use of masks outdoors , which have been required when social distancing of six feet is not possible .

The exclusions to the use of masks apply only to those with respiratory conditions that make it difficult to cover their mouth and nose , people doing strenuous activities , such as jogging , and children @ @ @ @ @ @ @ recommended by the Centers for Disease Control .

I want to once again reiterate that if everyone follows the New Normal rules of social distancing of at least six feet , wear facial coverings ( which can be homemade ) and stay safer at home unless they need to go to work or to a store , we can get back to opening up our economy .

NEW YORK — A Flatbush, Brooklyn man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison following his guilty plea to two counts of sex trafficking of a child and one count of attempted criminal possession of a weapon.
District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said, “This defendant, who took advantage of two vulnerable young girls, trafficking them for money in exchange for sex, has now been brought to justice. I am committed to rescuing and protecting our at-risk children and teens from predators who are intent on exploiting and abusing them.”
The District Attorney identified the defendant as Hakeem Bennett, 24, of Flatbush, Brooklyn. He was sentenced today by Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Danny Chun to eight years in prison for two counts of sex trafficking of a child and two years in prison for second-degree attempted criminal possession of a weapon. The judge ordered the sentences to run consecutively, for a total of 10 years in prison. Bennett was also sentenced to five years’ post-release supervision and must register as a sex offender upon his release from prison.
The District Attorney said that, according to the investigation, on September 30, 2019, the New York City Police Department received information from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (which received a tip from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children) regarding the possible sex trafficking of a 17-year-old girl. On October 3, 2019, an undercover officer responded to an escort advertisement provided by the FBI, which included photographs of three girls, including the missing 17-year-old and the 15-year-old.
The undercover officer called the phone number provided in the advertisement and engaged in a conversation with a woman regarding sex for money. He later was directed by that same woman to meet her at an address on East 29th Street in Flatbush, Brooklyn.
When the officer arrived at the location, he was met by the 15-year-old victim, who brought him to a house where he met with Bennett and the 17-year-old victim and another, unidentified woman. The undercover and Bennett agreed that the undercover would pay $250 to have sex with the 15-year-old and the 17-year-old. As the undercover, Bennett and the two girls began to walk down the street to a location the defendant agreed to make available for the encounter, he was apprehended by the undercover’s field team.
Upon further investigation, Bennett had been selling both teenagers for sex for several weeks by posting his phone number in escort advertisements and would pretend to be the girl when customers called the number. Bennett would then dispatch the victims to an agreed upon location, after telling them what to do and how much to charge, to meet the customer. In some instances, Bennett had the customers send the money directly to him via payments apps.
The sex trafficking case was investigated by Detective Joseph Spataro of the New York City Police Department, Brooklyn North Vice Module under the supervision of Lieutenant Amy Capogna and in coordination with Detective Elizabeth Gonzalez and Lieutenant Christopher Sharpe, of the NYPD’s Human Trafficking Team. Lieutenant Amy Capogna is the current Commanding Officer of the NYPD Human Trafficking Team.

New HUD Rule Would Allow Single-Sex or Sex-Segregated Homeless Shelters To Turn Away Transgender People

WASHINGTON – U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ( HUD ) Secretary Ben Carson today announced a proposed modification to the 2016 portion of the Equal Access rule .
The Equal Access rule requires all HUD funded housing services to be provided without discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity .
The new rule allows shelter providers that lawfully operate as single-sex or sex-segregated facilities to voluntarily establish a policy that will govern admissions determinations for situations when an individual ’ s gender identity does not match their biological sex .
Each shelter ’ s policy is required @ @ @ @ @ @ @ law , must not discriminate based on sexual orientation or transgender status , and may incorporate practical considerations of shelter providers that often operate in difficult conditions .
The proposed rule modifications also better accommodate religious beliefs of shelter providers .
For example , such policies could be based on biological sex , sex as identified on official government identification , or the current rule ’ s mandate of self-identified gender identity .
“ This important update will empower shelter providers to set policies that align with their missions , like safeguarding victims @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” said Secretary Carson .
“ Mission-focused shelter operators play a vital and compassionate role in communities across America .
The Federal Government should empower them , not mandate a single approach that overrides local law and concerns .
HUD also wants to encourage their participation in HUD programs .
That ’ s exactly what we are doing with this rule change.
” All shelters serving a specific sex must provide people who they do not accommodate with information about other shelters in the area that can meet their needs .
Similarly , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to accommodate persons whose gender identity is different from their sex , persons who have concerns with being housed with persons of a different biological sex , such concerned persons must be provided a referral to a facility whose policy is based on biological sex .
The Department will continue to maintain the 2012 portion of the Equal Access Rule which prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity .

The new rule allows shelter providers that lawfully operate as single-sex or sex-segregated facilities to voluntarily establish a policy that will govern admissions determinations for situations when an individual’s gender identity does not match their biological sex. Each shelter’s policy is required to be consistent with state and local law, must not discriminate based on sexual orientation or transgender status, and may incorporate practical considerations of shelter providers that often operate in difficult conditions. The proposed rule modifications also better accommodate religious beliefs of shelter providers. For example, such policies could be based on biological sex, sex as identified on official government identification, or the current rule’s mandate of self-identified gender identity.
“This important update will empower shelter providers to set policies that align with their missions, like safeguarding victims of domestic violence or human trafficking,” said Secretary Carson. “Mission-focused shelter operators play a vital and compassionate role in communities across America. The Federal Government should empower them, not mandate a single approach that overrides local law and concerns. HUD also wants to encourage their participation in HUD programs. That’s exactly what we are doing with this rule change.”
All shelters serving a specific sex must provide people who they do not accommodate with information about other shelters in the area that can meet their needs. Similarly, if a shelter elects in its policy to accommodate persons whose gender identity is different from their sex, persons who have concerns with being housed with persons of a different biological sex, such concerned persons must be provided a referral to a facility whose policy is based on biological sex.

“In response to a bipartisan effort to give federal workers another day of paid leave by designating Juneteenth a federal holiday, we have offered a counterproposal that does not put us further in debt,” said Sen. Johnson. “We support celebrating emancipation with a federal holiday, but believe we should eliminate a current holiday in exchange. We chose Columbus Day as a holiday that is lightly celebrated, and least disruptive to Americans’ schedules.”
