LA Times: A Russian couple were living their L.A. dream. Then immigration grabbed them off the street

"...The August sun was already warming Westlake Village when Anton Perevalov dressed in athletic shorts and decided to take an early morning stroll with his miniature pinscher, Ben, while his wife slept.

As he turned right onto Hillcrest Drive — a route he’d taken so many mornings before — an unmarked car stopped in front of him and a man he’d never met emerged and peppered him with questions: “Are you Anton Perevalov?” “Are you a citizen of Russia?”

When Perevalov, 43, answered in the affirmative, two other men exited the car and approached him. One took his phone and the other slapped handcuffs on him..."

Many thanks to the Global Policy Forum, a student club at Westlake High, for inviting me to speak on civic engagement. I was VERY encouraged to hear so many informed and relevant questions on topics critical to our daily lives – including climate realities, wildlife and open-space protection, fire prevention, and infrastructure maintenance, among others. Thanks especially to club president Rishi Sikh for putting together today’s session.

Thanks to the Westlake High School chapter of the Future Business Leaders of America for inviting me to speak today. Students asked excellent questions about the role of government in economic development, housing production, business regulation, and the differences between free and fair markets. These students are going places!

Congratulations to all high school students and their parents who took part in "Bill Night," an annual event sponsored by the Miller Y in which students propose and debate proposed laws, one of which goes on to the Y's conference in the Capitol building in Sacramento.

Both the bills and the quality of debate were impressive. I only wish many adults were as civic minded!
