Three months later, Trump rescinded the program. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In January, Trump laid out a series of immigration demands that allowed a path to citizenship for up to 1.8 million young immigrants who arrived as children - but he demanded concessions in exchange for this, including money for a border wall and drastic cuts to legal immigration. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He did not get those concessions in the most recent spending bill. While Trump signed the $1.3 trillion omnibus bill last month, it was only after threatening to veto the bipartisan bill. He complained on Twitter that the bill failed to help DACA recipients and blamed Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/977166887493799936\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And now he has used Twitter to say:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Republicans must go to Nuclear Option to pass tough laws NOW. NO MORE DACA DEAL!\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003ch2>What was the significance of March 5? \u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>When Trump rescinded the program in September, enrollees whose DACA status was expiring between September 5 and March 5 had just one month to apply for a final two-year renewal. If your eligibility was coming up for renewal March 6 or later, you would be shut out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, two federal court injunctions in the past months have kept DACA going, for now. But there are some key caveats:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>DACA enrollees may continue to renew their status\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>But no new applicants can apply\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2>What happened between Trump’s September decision to sunset the program and the court injunctions?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Some people have lost protections, including people who did not make the \u003ca href=\"https://www.scpr.org/news/2017/10/06/76380/how-many-people-missed-the-daca-deadline/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">initial one-month window for renewals\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the first court injunction, which re-opened renewal applications, roughly 11,000 DACA recipients filed requests between Jan. 10 and Jan. 31. Of those, according to federal data almost 2,000 were people whose protection expired before March 5, meaning they should have been able to apply by last Oct. 5.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the number of people with DACA protection has declined in recent months, from about 689,800 as of last Sept. 4 to about 683,000 as of Jan 31. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Why did the federal courts intervene?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Several lawsuits were filed after DACA was rescinded, including a \u003ca href=\"http://universityofcalifornia.edu/sites/default/files/UC-DACA-Complaint.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">lawsuit filed in September by the University of California system\u003c/a> that alleged the Trump administration was unconstitutionally violating the rights of its students by ending the program, and that the decision to end DACA was \"arbitrary and capricious.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state of California, joined by three other states, also filed suit, arguing that the administration violated federal laws when it rescinded DACA. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Jan. 9 ruling came out of the California litigation. A second federal court ruling in New York last month came out of similar litigation. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Why did the U.S. Supreme Court reject the White House request to take up the matter earlier this year?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court for an expedited review of the Jan. 9 ruling by a federal judge in San Francisco, which would have allowed administration attorneys to bypass the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, also in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.scpr.org/news/2018/02/26/81146/what-supreme-court-ruling-means-for-daca-recipient/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The justices said no\u003c/a>. The high court very rarely grants such requests. The administration will need to follow the normal appeals court route. If the administration is unhappy with Ninth Circuit’s decision, then it can appeal again to the Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until that happens, the district court ruling remains in place and DACA recipients can continue to renew their work permits and deportation protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lower courts in California and New York have not ruled on the merits of DACA but rather on whether the Trump administration acted legally in the way it rescinded the program. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How long will DACA remain in place?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>That's unclear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal appeals courts in California and New York, where the two lower court decisions were made, could ultimately rule in favor of the Trump administration. If so, the window for DACA renewals could then close. If they rule against the administration, the window could remain open longer as the cases move to the Supreme Court, as they are expected to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the high court does take up DACA, a decision would be unlikely before next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration could seek other ways to end DACA. Several lawsuits, including the California case on which the lower court ruled, alleged that the administration's decision to rescind DACA violated the Administrative Procedures Act. The government could conceivably fix any alleged violations.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What's going on in Congress?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Lawmakers have attempted to come up with a compromise to let young unauthorized immigrants who arrived in the U.S. as children stay legally, but none of the bills introduced have garnered enough support. A series of measures voted on in the Senate have failed to pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In February, Sen. Richard Durbin (D-Illinois) told NPR that the midterm elections - and whoever gets elected to the House and Senate - will likely decide the fate of DACA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The high court's decision does buy more time for a legislative answer, at least while the court injunctions stand. Immigrant advocates are continuing to push Congress for a long-term path to legal status for DACA recipients.\u003c/p>\n\n",

If your eligibility was coming up for renewal March 6 or later, you would be shut out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, two federal court injunctions in the past months have kept DACA going, for now.

Of those, according to federal data almost 2,000 were people whose protection expired before March 5, meaning they should have been able to apply by last Oct. 5.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the number of people with DACA protection has declined in recent months, from about 689,800 as of last Sept. 4 to about 683,000 as of Jan 31. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Why did the federal courts intervene?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Several lawsuits were filed after DACA was rescinded, including a \u003ca href=\"http://universityofcalifornia.edu/sites/default/files/UC-DACA-Complaint.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">lawsuit filed in September by the University of California system\u003c/a> that alleged the Trump administration was unconstitutionally violating the rights of its students by ending the program, and that the decision to end DACA was \"arbitrary and capricious.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state of California, joined by three other states, also filed suit, arguing that the administration violated federal laws when it rescinded DACA. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Jan. 9 ruling came out of the California litigation. A second federal court ruling in New York last month came out of similar litigation. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Why did the U.S. Supreme Court reject the White House request to take up the matter earlier this year?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court for an expedited review of the Jan. 9 ruling by a federal judge in San Francisco, which would have allowed administration attorneys to bypass the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, also in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.scpr.org/news/2018/02/26/81146/what-supreme-court-ruling-means-for-daca-recipient/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The justices said no\u003c/a>. The high court very rarely grants such requests. The administration will need to follow the normal appeals court route. If the administration is unhappy with Ninth Circuit’s decision, then it can appeal again to the Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until that happens, the district court ruling remains in place and DACA recipients can continue to renew their work permits and deportation protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lower courts in California and New York have not ruled on the merits of DACA but rather on whether the Trump administration acted legally in the way it rescinded the program. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How long will DACA remain in place?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>That's unclear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal appeals courts in California and New York, where the two lower court decisions were made, could ultimately rule in favor of the Trump administration. If so, the window for DACA renewals could then close. If they rule against the administration, the window could remain open longer as the cases move to the Supreme Court, as they are expected to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the high court does take up DACA, a decision would be unlikely before next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration could seek other ways to end DACA. Several lawsuits, including the California case on which the lower court ruled, alleged that the administration's decision to rescind DACA violated the Administrative Procedures Act. The government could conceivably fix any alleged violations.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What's going on in Congress?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Lawmakers have attempted to come up with a compromise to let young unauthorized immigrants who arrived in the U.S. as children stay legally, but none of the bills introduced have garnered enough support. A series of measures voted on in the Senate have failed to pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In February, Sen. Richard Durbin (D-Illinois) told NPR that the midterm elections - and whoever gets elected to the House and Senate - will likely decide the fate of DACA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Boeshore said most of the veterans spend two six-month seasons with the corps, then move on to join a fire crew somewhere else in the country. The priority is employment.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'Fighting fires exercises all those things that you really got used to in the military that you lost when you come out into civilian life.’\u003ccite>Michael Lloyd, National Wildland Firefighter program manager for Team Rubicon\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“We have so many veterans out there that just need meaningful careers,\" Boeshore said, adding the Veterans Fire Corps is also growing this year. “I have a lot of guys coming into this program that are jobless and homeless.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Veterans experience a lot of the things they miss from military life within the structure of firefighting crews, Boeshore said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Veterans need camaraderie. They need to be part of a team. And when you’re working in forestry, especially in fire, that’s what you get,” he said. “There’s a chain of command. There’s a hierarchy. There are specific missions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That sense of mission is what drew Marine Corps veteran Tomas de Oliveira to Team Rubicon’s wildland firefighting training.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He lined up with fellow students getting sized for fire retardant pants, shirts and gloves in high-visibility yellow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11658492\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11658492\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/Lloyd-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Michael Lloyd (R), the National Wildland Firefighter Program Manager for Team Rubicon, helps size trainees for fire-resistant gear.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/Lloyd-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/Lloyd-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/Lloyd-1020x679.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/Lloyd-960x639.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/Lloyd-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/Lloyd-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/Lloyd-520x346.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/Lloyd.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Michael Lloyd (R), the National Wildland Firefighter program manager for Team Rubicon, helps size trainees for fire-resistant gear. \u003ccite>(Libby Denkmann/KPCC)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“I just always feel like I want to do more for people who find themselves in probably the worst day of their lives,” de Oliveira said. “I figured helping to fight the fires that we tend to have in California yearly would be a good way to do that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Marines, de Oliveira spent years working embassy security around the world.

He emphasized the need to assist veterans during the transition to civilian life, something he encountered firsthand as a veteran of Desert Storm and Desert Shield. Transition assistance was virtually nonexistent when he left the Navy in the 1990s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was hard.

Another 21 percent said video should \"probably\" be released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LAPD officers were surveyed too: Thirty-one percent said \"definitely\" and 32 percent said \"probably.\" Chief Beck had earlier said officers have gotten more accustomed to body cameras, and the discussion around them has evolved -- and that he now supports the release of some video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goldsmith -- who as a commissioner sees videos now -- warns they can be graphic and hard to figure out. You may only see one angle and won’t know what’s going through everybody’s mind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s not like watching an episode of 'Law and Order,'\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she hopes releasing them -- along with other evidence to provide the context of the shooting -- will help people on all sides of the issue better understand what happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The videos would not be released on their own, according to LAPD spokesman Josh Rubenstein. The department will offer other evidence of what happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It will be a story.

It passed the state Senate last spring but never reached the Assembly. Speaker Anthony Rendon shelved it, calling the measure \"woefully incomplete\" because it lacked details on how to implement or pay for single payer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SB 562's main backer, the California Nurses Association, slammed the report's call for an incremental strategy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The report inflates the obstacles to single payer, all of which are a reflection of lack of political will,\" said Bonnie Castillo, the association's executive director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the short-term proposals are \"a deceptive facade,\" she said, \"pretending to address the problem.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They will \"do little to address the biggest hole in our health care system, the failure to guarantee actual health care, not 'insurance' for all Californians,\" said Castillo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The association said it will continue to press the Legislature to consider SB 562.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The program is currently available to unauthorized immigrants under the age of 19.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Permit unauthorized immigrants to buy subsidized insurance through Covered California.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Use state money to expand Covered California subsidies for consumers who make too much to qualify for federal subsidies.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Increase payments to providers who treat Medi-Cal patients.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Explore setting up a \"public option,\" a state-backed insurance plan that would compete against private plans.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Create a state tax penalty for failing to buy health insurance, replacing the Affordable Care Act mandate that the federal government eliminated in the recently passed tax bill.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>While generally endorsing the report's recommendations, Wood and Arambula were not ready to back the call for a state mandate, which also has the support of Covered California and the California Association of Health Plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Subsidies are more of an incentive than mandates are,\" said Arambula.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said \"multiple proposals\" will end up in legislation this year.

Both Arambula and Wood expressed doubt that the Trump administration would support changing federal rules and laws to allow California to use Medicaid and Medicare dollars to pay for a state-run health care system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We can’t do it without the federal resources,\" said Wood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The experts said the Legislature could create a \"planning commission\" that could start the hard work of laying the political, legal and financial groundwork for a single-payer system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission would work on designing the system and figuring out how to pay for it, which would include helping the state seek legislative and statutory changes at the federal level, the report said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The select committee was created to look at the issues raised by SB 562, which proposed a Canadian-style single-payer health system for California. It passed the state Senate last spring but never reached the Assembly. Speaker Anthony Rendon shelved it, calling the measure \"woefully incomplete\" because it lacked details on how to implement or pay for single payer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SB 562's main backer, the California Nurses Association, slammed the report's call for an incremental strategy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The report inflates the obstacles to single payer, all of which are a reflection of lack of political will,\" said Bonnie Castillo, the association's executive director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the short-term proposals are \"a deceptive facade,\" she said, \"pretending to address the problem.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They will \"do little to address the biggest hole in our health care system, the failure to guarantee actual health care, not 'insurance' for all Californians,\" said Castillo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The association said it will continue to press the Legislature to consider SB 562.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

He says he felt more pressure there to turn a profit fast, to climb to the top and never fall down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He moved Klout to San Francisco in 2009, primarily to be closer to social media giants Twitter and Facebook. But he says California also just felt like a better place to take a risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In California it was like, anybody could show up, make something crazy, build something important and change the world,” Fernandez. “And if they fail 10 times doing that, that’s OK too.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2014, Lithium Technologies bought Klout for $200 million. Fernandez decided San Francisco wasn’t the right fit for his next company, but he wanted to stay in California. So he launched Joymode in Los Angeles in 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we’re doing with Joymode is, we’re trying to challenge the notion of ownership,” Fernandez said. “That’s a really audacious, crazy, likely-to-fail idea. And I think this is the only place you could do that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The numbers show that Fernandez’s risk-taking is common here. The \u003ca href=\"https://www.kauffman.org/kauffman-index/rankings?report=startup-activity&indicator=se-rate&type=larger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kauffman Index\u003c/a>, one long-running measure of American entrepreneurship, puts California first among larger states — ahead of Texas and Florida — when it comes to the percentage of residents starting companies in a given month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California companies in various industries like software, biotech and entertainment raised nearly $35 billion in venture capital in 2017. That’s by far the largest dollar amount of any state. The Milken Institute’s Kevin Klowden also notes that California \u003ca href=\"http://assets1c.milkeninstitute.org/assets/Publication/ResearchReport/PDF/State-Technology-and-Science-Index-2016.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">leads the country\u003c/a> when venture capital investment is broken down as a percent of a state’s overall GDP.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are more chances being taken per capita in California in terms of the kinds of investments being done than any other state,” Klowden said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11655098\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/Top-economies-chart-800x506.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"506\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/Top-economies-chart-800x506.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/Top-economies-chart-160x101.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/Top-economies-chart-1020x645.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/Top-economies-chart-1180x747.png 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/Top-economies-chart-960x608.png 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/Top-economies-chart-240x152.png 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/Top-economies-chart-375x237.png 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/Top-economies-chart-520x329.png 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/Top-economies-chart.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No state has a higher rate of new companies starting up and older companies failing, according to \u003ca href=\"http://www2.itif.org/2017-state-new-economy-index.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a recent report\u003c/a> from the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF).
