Huawei Founder Waves Off US Chip Curbs While Trade Talks Proceed
Huawei Technologies Co. founder Ren Zhengfei dismissed the impact of US export restrictions on China in a front-page People's Daily article, wading into one of the key topics dogging Washington-Beijing trade negotiations. Ren, one of the country's most recognizable business figures, told the Communist Party's official newspaper he wasn't worried about Washington's efforts to cut off the flow of US technology to China's chip sector. Domestic firms could resort to means such as chip packaging or stacking to achieve results similar to that from advanced semiconductor technology.

Two of Colorado's biggest unions join a state employee in suing Gov. Jared Polis
Colorado WINS, a union representing 27,000 state employees, and the AFL-CIO say they are joining a top official in the Department of Labor and Employment in suing Gov. Jared Polis after they say he ordered state employees to commit illegal acts. "We are outraged as state employees that our governor wanted us to actively support that assault on our community and make us as state workers accomplices in an illegal and morally reprehensible act," says Diane Byrne, President of Colorado WINS. At issue is a subpoena for information -- including addresses and phone numbers -- on 35 individuals who the Department of Homeland Security says are listed as sponsors of unaccompanied children who are in the U.S. illegally. The agency has apparently lost track of the kids and says they may be subject to crimes of human trafficking or other forms of exploitation. While two laws, signed by Polis, bar state employees from sharing personally identifying information for immigration enforcement, they make an exception for criminal investigations. The governor ordered employees at the Department of Labor and Employment to comply with the subpoena. CBS A spokesperson for the governor says, "The decision to respond to this federal subpoena due to concerns about potential crimes against vulnerable minors was carefully considered in accordance with Colorado law, which allows for sharing information to support timely criminal investigations." Scott Moss, a director at the Department of Labor and Employment, disagrees. He notes the subpoena wasn't issued by a judge and is titled "Immigration Enforcement Subpoena." He sued the governor. State Sen. Julie Gonzalez went a step further, suggesting Polis should step down. "I don't know about you but, Jared Polis has broken my trust," she said. She says Polis has also broken the trust of individuals who were promised their information would be protected from immigration agents. David Seligman is Executive Director of Towards Justice, a civil rights organization that has also joined the lawsuit. He says the Governor's directive doesn't make sense. "So why is the governor going out of his way to help Donald Trump and ICE?" Seligman said. The governor's spokesperson says: "Helping federal law enforcement partners locate and, if necessary, rescue children being abused and trafficked is not only in line with the law but also a moral imperative." It's estimated 75%-80% of unaccompanied children arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border are victims of human trafficking. The lawsuit was filed in Denver District Court and will be heard in a couple weeks.

Two South Florida men charged in Sunrise mail theft after CBS News Miami report leads to tip-offs
Two men from Hialeah have been federally charged with mail theft after surveillance video broadcast by CBS News Miami led to their identification and arrest, the Department of Justice announced Monday. Wilfredo Rivero, 31, and Fernando Bernabe Rodriguez, 28, were captured on surveillance video breaking into mailboxes at the Sunrise Lakes III apartment complex on Sunrise Lakes Boulevard, authorities said. According to federal prosecutors, Rivero was first seen on April 26 using a screwdriver-like tool to pry open a cluster of mailboxes and steal their contents. Clear images from the video reportedly showed him looking directly into the camera. Rivero returned to the same complex around 10:30 p.m. on April 28, this time with Rodriguez. Both men were seen again opening mailboxes and removing mail. CBS News Miami video helped identify Sunrise mail theft suspects The U.S. Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) received several tips after CBS News Miami aired the footage on May 9 as part of an exclusive report. Officials credit the public's response to the broadcast with helping to solve the case. Rodriguez appeared in federal court Monday. Both men are charged with mail theft, a federal offense. U.S. Attorney Hayden P. O'Byrne of the Southern District of Florida and Acting Inspector in Charge Bladismir Rojo of USPIS announced the charges. USPIS led the investigation, with support from the Sunrise and Hialeah police departments. Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher Killoran is prosecuting the case. The Justice Department said a reward of up to $100,000 had been offered in the case, though it remains unclear if anyone will collect it. Officials also said it's not yet known if the suspects have committed similar crimes elsewhere.
