- The Obama administration has delayed its deportation reprieve for millions of
undocumented immigrants following this week's ruling by a right-wing judge.
President Obama's executive order on immigration would apply to those brought to
the U.S. illegally as children and who have lived here for at least five years,
as well as those who have lived here for at least five years and are the parents
of U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents. It remains on hold as the case is
appealed, possibly ending up before the U.S. Supreme Court. We are joined by two
immigrants on both sides of the reprieve divide: José Espinoza, an undocumented
immigrant who had hoped to apply for relief when eligibility was supposed to
begin on Wednesday, and Oscar Hernandez, who was granted relief in 2012 and is
now a lead field organizer with United We Dream in Houston, where he has been
helping to get eligible immigrants like Espinoza ready to apply.

What We Saw at the Students For Liberty Conference 2015

The
eighth annual International Students For Liberty Conference pulled more than a
thousand excited students to Washington, D.C. last weekend to learn activism
from student leaders, network with liberty-minded organizations, and hear from
libertarian heavyweights such as Ron Paul, Judge Napolitano, and even former
Mexican President Vicente Fox.
Reason TV interviewed attendees about why
they came to the conference, what they found most interesting, and what drew
them to libertarianism.
About 2.45 minutes long.

- As many as 400,000 people marched through the pouring rain in the Argentine
capital of Buenos Aires on Wednesday demanding an independent judiciary. The
march came one month after the mysterious death of special prosecutor Alberto
Nisman, who had accused Argentina's president, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner,
of helping to cover up Iran's role in the deadly 1994 bombing of a Jewish
community center that killed 85 people and injured hundreds in Buenos Aires. On
January 18, Nisman was found dead in his apartment of a gunshot wound to the
head. His body was discovered just a day before he was due to testify before
lawmakers on his findings on the 1994 attack. Just four days before his death,
Nisman appeared on television and outlined his allegations against the president
and Foreign Minister Héctor Timerman.

- As extreme cold temperatures blast the eastern third of the United States, the
fossil fuel industry has seen a series of disasters in less than a week. On
Wednesday, an explosion at an ExxonMobil refinery south of Los Angeles rocked
the surrounding area with the equivalent of a 1.4-magnitude earthquake. The
blast in California happened as oil tank cars from a derailed train remained on
fire Wednesday in West Virginia, two days after the accident. The derailment
forced the evacuation of two towns and destroyed a house. The derailment in West
Virginia happened just two days after another oil train derailment in Ontario,
Canada, which also left rail cars burning for days. We are joined by Stephen
Kretzmann, executive director of Oil Change International. "Climate policy and
energy policy are not usually discussed together in this country," Kretzmann
says. "Climate change means that we need to transition away from fossil fuels,
sooner rather than later."

- President Obama's plan to shield as many as five million immigrants from
deportation was supposed to begin taking its first applications this week. But
late Monday night, U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen of Brownsville, Texas,
issued an injunction after a motion filed by Texas and 25 other states. Now the
administration says it will comply with the ruling and delay accepting
applications for work permits and deportation reprieves. We speak with Marielena
Hincapié, executive director of the National Immigration Law Center, which filed
a court brief opposing the challenge to Obama's order.

The United States Thursday sought to galvanize global action against violent jihadist groups, amid warnings the world was confronted with "a new war against a new enemy."
Gathering ministers and top officials from more than 60 countries on the third and final day of a White House summit, President Barack Obama pledged the United States would be "a strong partner" in seeking to halt the march of groups like Islamic State (IS). Governments must remain "unwavering in our fight against terrorist organizations," Obama said, vowing to work with unstable countries such as Yemen and Somalia to help "prevent ungoverned spaces where terrorists find safe haven."
