  Four rapes rock California college in the first three weeks of semester Four rapes have been reported at Cal State San Marcos since the start of September, with each incident involving people who knew one another, according to the university. The reports were made on four separate dates and involved three locations: The Quad on Sept. 5 and Sept. 18, University Village Apartments on Sept. 6 and Black Oak Hall on Sept. 13. Jerry McCormick, a spokesperson for Cal State San Marcos, confirmed the reports to the California Post and said the four incidents are not believed to be connected. In each case, McCormick said, the individuals involved knew one another. “Sexual assault is never acceptable and is never the survivor’s fault. Consent must be affirmative, voluntary and ongoing,” McCormick said in a statement. “It cannot be assumed because people know one another or have an existing relationship, and a person who is incapacitated cannot consent.” The university notified students, fac...

 DHS implements rule to speed up visas for religious workers serving US congregations abroad

  The Department of Homeland Security has announced a rule change designed to reduce visa wait times for religious workers coming to serve U.S. congregations, easing restrictions that previously forced many to leave the country for extended periods. The change affects R-1 visas, which allow foreign pastors, priests, nuns, imams, and rabbis to temporarily work in the United States while their congregations pursue permanent residency petitions. Previously, clergy who reached the five-year maximum for an R-1 visa were required to leave the U.S. for a full year before reapplying, a rule that had been exacerbated by processing changes in 2023. Under the new DHS guidance, religious workers will still depart but can immediately apply to return.

The rule has drawn praise from immigration attorneys and faith leaders, who say it will reduce disruptions for U.S. congregations relying on foreign clergy. Lance Conklin, an attorney representing evangelical churches, called it “a huge deal” that prevents organizations from losing staff for a full year. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and other religious groups highlighted the importance of the program, noting that foreign-born clergy fill critical roles amid domestic shortages. The rule addresses delays created in 2023 when clergy were added to a broader green card backlog alongside minors seeking humanitarian status, which had extended waiting times. While the change helps maintain continuity for congregations, thousands of religious workers still face long waits for permanent residency, a challenge advocates say will only be fully resolved through broader immigration reform.
