Indiana looks to repeal driver's license law for Ukrainian immigrants after discrimination ruling
One year after passing a law that allows Ukrainian immigrants on humanitarian parole to receive driver’s licenses, Indiana lawmakers are trying to repeal it after a federal judge recently ruled that the law must extend to all parolees.
The bill that passed the House on Monday with bipartisan support would eliminate a statute that allowed people legally in the U.S. on a narrow parole definition to receive a driver’s license, but only if they are from Ukraine. A group of Haitian immigrants living in Indiana under the same federal designation sued the state over the law, saying it was discriminatory and unconstitutional.
In mid-January, a federal judge issued a temporary injunction striking the Ukrainian provision of the law, allowing all immigrants on humanitarian parole to receive temporary licenses in the state.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana and the National Immigration Law Center are representing the Haitian immigrants in the ongoing lawsuit, which seeks to permanently undo the Ukrainian stipulation.
Gavin Rose, senior staff attorney with the ACLU of Indiana, told The Associated Press it’s not clear how the suit would be affected if the bill, House Bill 1162, becomes law.

“It would obviously be extremely concerning if the legislature removed the ability of Ukrainians to obtain credentials simply because Indiana has been required to also extend these credentials to persons from countries such as Haiti, who, like Ukrainians, have been allowed to enter and work in the United States because of dire humanitarian crises in their own countries,” Rose said in an email.
Republicans have said extending the privilege to all people on parole makes the state vulnerable to federal immigration classifications out of their control.
Rep. Jim Pressel, Republican author of the bill, told lawmakers Thursday that the lawsuit has made the situation a “mess” and took issue with the federal definition of parole that includes people from several countries. He said he wants a conversation in the Senate about how to secure the intent of last year’s law.
Rep. Matt Lehman, Republican floor leader in the House, said allowing all people on parole to get a license opens the door to the “coveted status” to “dishonest” people.
“I just don’t have faith in our immigration policy on a national level that that status is coveted,” he told lawmakers Thursday. “I think that status is being granted to people that we would have problems with.”
The bill passed 89-8 in the Republican-controlled state House without debate and now advances to the state Senate.

‘I could have died’: 14-year-old speaks out after surviving shooting during ‘teen takeover’ in Detroit
DETROIT – A 14-year-old boy nearly died after a bullet passed through his chest, missing his heart by just a few centimeters during a teen takeover in Downtown Detroit last month.
Tavuan Clark is now back home recovering, and he wants other teenagers to hear his story.
“I want to say stop the violence and violence is not cool,” Tavuan said.
The shooting happened around 9:30 p.m. on May 17 near the intersection of Farmer Street and Grand River Avenue. Police say an argument over an electric scooter escalated into a physical fight between two groups of teenagers and gunfire erupted.
Tavuan, a soon-to-be 9th grader, had been hanging out with friends downtown when the chaos broke out.
“Was going to fight again and then I just heard gunshots going off,” he said. “I just know I couldn’t breathe and I had to drop down.”
It took him about a minute to realize he had been shot.
He was rushed to Children’s Hospital of Michigan in critical condition. Doctors worked to stop the bleeding and discovered how close he came to not surviving.
“The bullet went right through his chest, missed his heart by just a few centimeters — and it could’ve been the difference between life and death for him,” said Dr. Scott Langenburg, chief of pediatric surgery at Children’s Hospital.
Dr. Langenburg says children too often don’t survive these situations. On Friday, he joined Detroit Medical Center’s “End Gun Violence” rally, where families and staff were taught how to “stop the bleed.”
He pointed to a deeper problem fueling the violence.
“People reacting, people not controlling their anger and just not being kind to one another,” Langenburg said.
Tavuan’s mother, Tracey Clark, is still processing what happened to her son.
“I’m just happy to have my son and to have him walking around,” she said.
Tavuan spent days in the hospital before returning home.
His recovery is ongoing, but he’s already back with friends and looking ahead to getting back on the football field. His mother has even bigger dreams for him.
“I want to see him succeed. I want to see him go a little further. I would love to see him on the Lions,” Tracey said.
Suspect charged as adult
A 17-year-old, identified as Ramon Javon Perez Smith, was charged as an adult in connection with the shooting.
The Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office charged him with Assault with Intent to Murder, Assault with Intent to do Great Bodily Harm, Felonious Assault, Carrying a Concealed Weapon, and three counts of Felony Firearm. His bond was set at $500,000.
A second suspect, a 16-year-old, was taken into custody at the scene and faces juvenile charges for carrying a concealed weapon.
