The focus of the article was on new restrictions being enforced on law enforcement. First the restrictions include, budget caps, term limits, and training requirements. The justice department will now include caps on fees negotiated by the parties and term limits for their tenure in communities. Some have expressed concern about the duration and expense of such agreements. Some argue that they do not provide a measure for success in the relation between the police department and community. Nearly reform agreement in 20 years has cost the city millions

The Justice Department will impose new limits on police reform monitors, it announced Monday.

The new restrictions - including budget caps, term limits and training requirements - come after Attorney General Merrick Garland earlier this year announced the revival of intervention in troubled police agencies, actions that often result in costly court enforced reform agreements overseen by special federal monitors.

For years, the Justice Department had relied on so-called consent decrees to bringing needed change to prisons, jails and police departments accused of abuse, a practice that was all but abandoned during the Trump administration.

While agencies have largely benefitted from the intervention, police officials have expressed repeated concerns for the duration of the agreements and the costs related to overhauling their operations, including monitor payments.

In some communities, those payments have risen to more than $1 million annually.

"Constraining monitor costs also minimize any actual conflict of interest between a monitor's duty to the jurisdiction and her bottom line," according to a Justice memorandum outlining the new guidelines. "Monitorships should be designed to avoid even the appearance that a monitor is primarily motivated by profit.

"Repeatedly, many of the stakeholders we interviewed urged the department to do more to dispel the perception that monitoring is becoming a cottage industry, closed to outside voices," the memo stated.

Future consent decrees, according to the Justice Department, will now include caps on such fees negotiated by the parties and term limits for their tenure in communities.

Consent decrees in cities across the country

William Bratton, a former chief in New York and Los Angeles who helped guide Los Angeles through a 12-year consent decree, has expressed concern about the duration and expense of such agreements.

"I think you have to be careful to make sure these (federal inquiries) don't become too big, too costly," Bratton told USA TODAY earlier this year. "You don't want it to become an industry."

"What many of these agreements don't do is provide a measure for success in the relationship between the police department and community," Bratton said.

Chuck Wexler, executive director of the Police Executive Research Forum, a law enforcement think tank which has closely examined cases of federal intervention in policing, has called the relationship between the monitor and the police agency as one "one of the biggest challenges."

In Oakland, California, the department has been tethered to an unusual reform agreement for nearly 20 years that has cost the city millions. Notably, the so-called negotiated settlement agreement was the result of a private lawsuit and had no connection to the Justice Department.

Yet the community has chafed over similar concerns for the cost and the current monitor who has managed the department's progress for more than a decade.

Garland, since taking office earlier this year, has moved swiftly to confront troubled police agencies, opening wide-ranging civil rights investigations in Minneapolis, Louisville and Phoenix.

The United States announced a new international air travel system Monday, opening travel for all vaccinated foreign nationals in early November, including those currently impacted by the U.S. travel ban.

"This vaccination requirement deploys the best tool we have in our arsenal to keep people safe and prevent the spread of the virus," said White House COVID-19 Response Coordinator Jeff Zients.

Travelers will need to show proof of full vaccination prior to boarding U.S.-bound planes. A COVID-19 test will also continue to be required within three days of departure and proof of negative results must be shown. Enhanced contact tracing and masking will also be required, but there will be no quarantine mandate.

The U.S. ban on nonessential travelhas been in place since early 2020, starting with China and expanding to visitors from, the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, the 29 regions in the European Schengen region, Iran, Brazil, South Africa and India.

European Union Ambassador to the U.S. Stavros Lambrinidis hinted at the decision on Twitter earlier Monday, before sharing the news: "Travel ban lifted! Vaccinated, pre-flight tested Europeans will again be able to travel to the US from November, just as vaccinated Americans are today allowed to travel to the EU."

The U.S. has been among the slowest countries to lift its travel restrictions. While Canada reopened its land borders to U.S. travelers in early August, the U.S. announced later that month that its land borders would remain closed to tourists. And even as European countries eased travel restrictions on U.S. travelers in the early summer months, the U.S.'s travel ban held fast.

In mid-July, as the country was under mounting pressure from European capitals and travel industry leaders to lift the travel ban, President Joe Biden said his response team was reviewing the travel restrictions and suggested changes would be announced in the coming days. White House press secretary Jen Psaki noted later that month that there were "ongoing working groups" focused on how to reopen international travel into the U.S.

But as COVID-19 cases began to spike once again, the administration pivoted and announced that travel restrictions would remain in place.

"Given where we are today ... with the delta variant, we will maintain existing travel restrictions at this point for a few reasons," Psaki said at a press briefing in late July.

The U.S. has already reported more COVID-19 deaths in September than in all of August, with deaths now averaging nearly 2,000 per day, according to USA TODAY analysis of Johns Hopkins data.

In recent months, countries in the U.S. travel ban - including Italy, France, Spain and Sweden - have tightened entry requirements for travelers from the U.S. due to rising COVID-19 cases. Quarantine mandates, vaccine requirements and outright bans are some of the restrictions international U.S. travelers now face.

"Given the high rates of vaccination on both sides of the Atlantic, it is possible to begin safely welcoming back vaccinated visitors from these crucial inbound markets," U.S. Travel Association Executive Vice President of Public Affairs and Policy Tori Emerson Barnes said in a July statement urging the Biden administration to reopen international travel to vaccinated tourists.

The focus of this article highlighted the nation's debt ceiling, allowing the government to keep paying its bills as well as avoiding the economic chaos that would come to the US. It will cost the US $480 billion. It is fair to say that President Biden says it will mess up the economy. This bill was passed by the senate. Thus, raising the debt as they sate that the ceiling was necessary to cover expenses lawmakers both parties have previously run up and now must be paid

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
WASHINGTON - The House passed legislation Tuesday raising the nation's debt ceiling for several weeks, allowing the government to keep paying its bills into early December and avoiding the economic chaos that would come if the U.S. defaulted.

By extending the nation's borrowing limit for a few weeks, lawmakers set up another debt ceiling fight in early December, when they'll be tasked with finding a long-term solution.

The measure, which lifts the ceiling by $480 billion, heads to President Joe Biden to sign. Biden had warned of "a self-inflicted wound that takes our economy over a cliff" if Congress didn't raise the debt limit. He had implored lawmakers to extend the debt limit before Oct. 18, when the Treasury Department said it would run out of "extraordinary" funding measures it could take to prevent default.

If the U.S. had defaulted on its debt for the first time, the results could lead to a global recession, Treasury Department officials and experts have said. A tanked market would hurt 401(k)s and other investments. For example, a debt ceiling standoff in 2013 cost the economy 1% in GDP.

The national debt is now approaching $29 trillion. The ceiling was extended to cover rising debt incurred by spending programs and tax cuts passed by Republican- and Democratic-controlled Congresses in the past.

Tuesday's vote was 219-206, with every voting Republican opposing the extension. GOP lawmakers have said they won't help Democrats, who narrowly control Congress, to lift the ceiling because they've felt excluded from negotiations on Biden's big-ticket spending proposals.

"Asking us to raise a credit card limit - trillions - and have no say at all on how it's spent?" Rep. Dan Meuser. R-Pa., said on the House floor before the vote. "That's irresponsible and I won't be part if it."

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., reminded Republicans that Tuesday's vote to raise the debt ceiling was necessary to cover expenses lawmakers in both parties have previously run up and now must be paid.

"This is our debt. It's America's debt," he said on the floor. "And America pays its bills."

The bill passed the Senate last week after weeks of negotiations. Eleven Republican senators on Thursday, including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., helped Democrats break a filibuster, allowing the measure to reach the floor where a simple majority was able to pass it with no GOP votes.

After receiving blowback from some of his GOP colleagues, McConnell has since pledged not to help Democrats when the debt ceiling will need to be raised again by December to avoid a default.

Speaking to reporters before the vote, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ticked off the consequences of a default: the potential loss of six million U.S. jobs; a $15 trillion loss in household wealth; higher borrowing rates for car loans, credit cards and mortgages; and plunging financial markets.

With more time to find a more permanent fix to the debt ceiling, Pelosi, D-Calif., told reporters that the legislative focus would go back to passing Biden's Build Back Better Act, a far-reaching expansion of social safety net and climate programs. Pelosi said she was "disappointed" that the original $3.5 trillion price tag of the bill will have to be cut significantly for it to win Democratic moderates' support needed for passage.

But "whatever we do, it will be transformative and it will produce results," she said.
