Wisconsin family, protesters seek justice for teen shot by police
By Brendan O'Brien MADISON, Wis. (Reuters) - Close to 2,000 students marched in Wisconsin's capital on Monday to protest the fatal police shooting of an unarmed biracial teenager, while his family demanded justice and the police chief apologized. Students crowded into the rotunda of the state Capitol in the morning, chanting and waving signs to protest the death of Tony Robinson, 19, shot on Friday by a white police officer. Later, Turin Carter, Robinson's uncle, said his family was calling for a thorough investigation and was concerned about the "systematic targeting of young black males," but did not endorse blanket anti-police sentiments. "We are not proponents of anti-police (attitudes)... We understand that law enforcement is necessary and mandatory and we need to change our mindset about the police," Carter said at a news conference outside the house where Robinson was shot.

Texas federal judge leaves block on Obama immigration plan in place
(Reuters)
- A federal judge in Texas on Monday declined to lift a block of the
White House's immigration plan for at least 10 more days, court records
show. U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen in Brownsville, a city along the
border with Mexico, issued a preliminary injunction last month halting
President Barack Obama's plans that would have shielded millions of
illegal immigrants from deportation. On Monday, Hanen said in a one-page
order that the court will not rule on any pending motions at least
until a court hearing set for March 19, where government attorneys will
have to explain a filing that said some 100,000 people had been given
three-year periods of deferred action prior to the judge's injunction.
He also cited ways that Texas would be harmed by the action but used no
other states as examples.Read More ...
Oklahoma University shuts 'disgraceful' fraternity for racist video
By
Heide Brandes NORMAN, Okla. (Reuters) - The University of Oklahoma
closed a fraternity linked to a video of students singing racial
epithets, ordered its members to move out of the house and labeled the
actions of those involved "disgraceful." "Effective immediately, all
ties and affiliations between the university and the local SAE (Sigma
Alpha Epsilon) chapter are hereby severed," University President David
Boren said on Monday. Over the weekend, ceremonies in Selma, Alabama,
marked the 50th anniversary of a crackdown on a civil rights march there
known as "Bloody Sunday." In the 10-second video posted online on
Sunday and replayed by media outlets, students on a bus chanted in
unison, using offensive language referring to blacks and vowing to never
admit them into the fraternity. It was not immediately clear when the
video of students on a bus chartered for a date night was taped.Read More ...
