They were cheered by Re- publicans allies in Congress, con- demned by immigration advocates and the trigger for immediate new tension with the Mexican govern- ment. Trump is expected to wield his executive power again later this week with the directive to dam the refugee flow into the U.S. for at least four months, in addition to the open-ended pause on Syr- ian arrivals. The upcoming order is also expected to suspend issuing visas for people from several pre- dominantly Muslim countries Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen for at least 30 days, according to a draft executive order obtained by The Associated Press. Trump is unveiling his immi- gration plans at a time when de- tentions at the southern border are down significantly from levels seen in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

The arrest tally last year was the fifth-lowest since 1972. Deportations of people living in the U.S. illegally also increased under President Barack Obama, though Republicans criticized him for setting prosecution guidelines that spared some groups from the threat of deportation, including those brought to the U.S. illegally as children. As a candidate, Trump tapped into the immigration concerns of some Americans who worry both about a loss of economic opportu- nities and the threat of criminals and terrorists entering the coun- try.

His call for a border wall was among his most popular proposals with supporters, who often broke out in chants of that during rallies. Immigration advocates and oth- ers assailed the new ac- tions. Omar Jadwat, director of the American Civil Liberties Rights Project, said the desire to construct a border wall was by ra- cial and ethnic bias that disgraces proud tradition of pro- tecting vulnerable How Trump plans to pay for the wall project is murky. While he has repeatedly promised that Mexico will foot the bill, U.S. taxpayers are expected to cover the initial costs and the new administration has said nothing about how it might compel Mexico to reimburse the money.

In an interview with ABC News earlier Wednesday, Trump said, will be a payment; it will be in a form, perhaps a complicated Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto, who has insisted his country will not pay for a wall, has been ex- pected to meet with Trump at the White House next week. Trump moves to that ALEX VEIGA AP Business Writer The Dow Jones industrial aver- age crossed the 20,000 mark for the first time Wednesday, the latest milestone in a record-setting drive for the stock market. Strong earnings from Boeing and other big companies helped push the Dow past the threshold early on. U.S. stocks closed sol- idly higher, lifting the Standard 500 index and Nasdaq com- posite to record highs of their own for the second day in a row.

Banks and other financial com- panies led the gainers, which in- cluded technology and industrials. Real estate, phone companies and other high-dividend stocks lagged the broader market as bond yields rose. a psychological event to get through that big hurdle, that big round said Jeff Kravetz, regional investment strategist at U.S. Private Client Reserve. really symbolic of go- ing on with investor sentiment be- coming much more positive, and going to drive stock prices The Dow, which tracks 30 ma- jor industrial companies, gained 155.80 points, or 0.8 percent, to 20,068.51.

The 500 index rose 18.30 points, or 0.8 percent, to 2,298.37. The Nasdaq added 55.38 points, or 1 percent, to 5,656.34. Small-company stocks also rose. The Russell 2000 picked up 13.23 points, or 1 percent, to 1,382.44. The market has been marching steadily higher since bottoming out in March 2009 in the after- math of the financial crisis.

The rally continued after the election of Donald Trump as U.S. president last fall. The Dow first closed above 10,000 on March 29, 1999. rally came against a backdrop of optimism on Wall Street that executive actions and policy goals announced by the Trump administration this week on trade, manufacturing and busi- ness deregulation will be good for corporate America. tax reform or in- frastructure spending, any of those tend to be optimistic conversations for the markets said Darrell Cronk, president of Wells Fargo Investment Institute.

have to wait and see how they play out, obviously. The danger here, if there is one, is that the market gets ahead of itself a little Most professional investors are skeptical the Dow at 20,000 will have much effect on the market. They more often look to the 500 index as a benchmark, because they consider it better representa- tion of the broad market. and of itself, it is just a num- said Quincy Krosby, market strategist at Prudential Financial. what it does is it lifts market expectations, in essence, to con- tinue moving If the Dow reaching 20,000 has any impact, it will likely be a psychological one.

Investors have been leery of the stock market for years, unable to stomach the pros- pect of losing more than 50 percent of their money for a second time if another financial crisis hits. That trepidation has caused them to pull money out of stock funds even as the Dow made its march toward 20,000 and depend instead on safer bond in- vestments. Last year, investors pulled a net $27.1 billion out of U.S. stock mu- tual funds and exchange-traded funds, according to Morningstar.

Dow Jones industrial average at record high WASHINGTON (AP) The Trump administration is scrutinizing studies and data published by scientists at the Environmental Protection Agency, while new work is under a before it can be released. The communications di- rector for President Donald transition team at EPA, Doug Ericksen, said Wednesday the review ex- tends to all existing con- tent on the federal website, including details of scientific evidence show- ing that the climate is warming and man-made carbon emissions are to blame. Ericksen clarified his earlier statements he made to The Associated Press, which reported that the Trump administration was mandating that any studies or data from EPA scientists undergo review by political appointees before they can be released to the public. He said he was speaking about existing scientific informa- tion on the EPA website that is under review by members of the Trump administra- transition team.

He said new work by the scientists is sub- ject to the same rary as other kinds of public releases, which he said would likely be lifted by Friday. He said there was no mandate to subject studies or data to political review. Former EPA staffers under both Republican and Dem- ocratic presidents said the restrictions imposed under Trump far exceed the prac- tices of past administrations. Ericksen said no decisions have yet been made about whether to strip mentions of climate change from epa.gov taking a look at ev- erything on a case-by-case basis, including the web page and whether climate stuff will be taken Erickson said in an ear- lier interview with the AP. with a new ad- ministration coming in, the transition time, be tak- ing a look at the web pages and the Facebook pages and everything else involved here at Asked specifically about scientific data being col- lected by agency scientists, such as routine monitoring of air and water pollution, Ericksen responded, erything is subject to re- Trump press secretary Sean Spicer appeared to distance the president from the issue, telling reporters the communications clamp- down at EPA directed by the White House.

nominee for EPA administrator, Scott Pruitt, said during his Senate con- firmation hearing last week that he disagreed with past statements by the president alleging that global warm- ing is a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese to harm U.S. economic competitiveness. But like Trump, Pruitt has a long history of publicly questioning the validity of climate science. William K. Reilly, who was EPA administrator un- der Republican President George H.W.

Bush, said what seems to be happening with science at the agency is ing down a very dark The 14-page scien- tific integrity document, en- acted during the Obama ad- ministration, describes how scientific studies were to be conducted and reviewed in the agency. It said scientific studies should eventually be communicated to the pub- lic, the media and Congress by polit- ical or other The scientific integrity document expressly hibits managers and other Agency leadership from intimidating or coercing scientists to alter scientific data, findings or profes- sional opinions or inap- propriately influencing sci- entific advisory It provides ways for employees who know the science to dis- agree with scientific reports and policies and offers them some whistleblower protec- tion. George Gray, the assis- tant administrator for Office of Research and De- velopment during the Re- publican administration of President George W. Bush, said scientific studies were reviewed usually at lower levels. EPA science under scrutiny is a work of nonfiction.
