Before that, she governed Arizona.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The California Report\u003c/em> sat down with Napolitano in her Oakland office last week for a wide-ranging conversation, from the Trump administration's zero-tolerance migration policy to border walls and DACA.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Family Separations Indicate 'No Preplanning'\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Napolitano confirmed that, like the Trump administration, the Obama administration also had considered separating migrant families to deter parents from crossing into the United States illegally with their children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, she said, under Obama the idea was a nonstarter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was quickly discarded,\" she said. \"It's just not consistent with what we thought wise immigration actions would be. And also with our values.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Napolitano admitted to being angered upon witnessing family separations taking place under the Trump administration's zero tolerance policy. But as the former head of a Cabinet department, she also noticed something else: a total lack of planning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You could just tell that the three agencies that were involved -- the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Health and Human Services -- had done no preplanning for this,\" Napolitano said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"[They] had no system in place for how they were going to keep families and children ... parents and children ... in touch with each other, even if they were to be separated, which they shouldn't have been separated to begin with, or how to bring them together,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And so now they're trying frantically because the courts are making them, and the court of public opinion is making them, to knit together a system [that] at the very least should have been thought through ahead of time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What tipped Napolitano off to the Trump administration's lack of planning?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Well, first of all the announcement by the attorney general that we're going to do zero tolerance, and the effect on law enforcement ...

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 6:40 p.m. Tuesday:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nA San Diego-based federal judge on Tuesday commended efforts by multiple government agencies to reunite more than 1,600 migrant children separated from their parents by the court's Thursday deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Judge Dana Sabraw criticized the Trump administration policy that caused the separations in the first place, leading to what appears to be more than 400 parents being deported without their children and other parents unaccounted for somewhere in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sabraw ordered the government to provide three lists to plaintiffs — represented by the ACLU — by Wednesday: one of parents who agreed to be deported without their children, one of those who have already been deported and a third list of those who have been released from immigration custody in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This really should be a transparent process,\" Sabraw said during a status conference on the case Tuesday. \"Some of this information is unpleasant. It’s the reality of the case.

But for some, like Glady Lee, the story feels especially personal, and familiar.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Glady was a toddler when her parents left her behind in the Philippines, seeking better jobs in California. That was four decades ago, but she’s still uncovering emotions and secrets from that tender time. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in the 1970s, long-distance phone calls were expensive. So the Guinto family — split apart by the Pacific Ocean — used cassette tapes to stay connected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Philippines, Glady remembers her grandparents holding out a tape recorder to say a message to her parents living in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“‘Glady come here. It's time for you to say hi to your mom and your dad. Tell them what it's like here. Do you want them to bring you anything from the States?'\" Glady remembers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Glady was 2, her mom, Nella Guinto, got a visa to go to the U.S. as a nurse. Her husband also got a work visa. The idea was to bring their two kids as soon as they could.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a long hospital shift, Nella couldn’t come home and kiss her kids. But she could pick up a tape recorder to send a clip of her voice to her children back in Quezon City. “Have you been good?

That’s because everyone in the Philippines told her she wasn’t supposed to be sad. Her parents had made it to America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The U.S. was always the place that almost every Filipino wanted to go. That was the dream,\" Glady says. \"And so the dream was happening for my family.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that’s not how it felt to a 2-year old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was sad every day when she was gone and I just didn't know who to express that to, because everyone around me was saying that you should be happy, that you were going to join your mom soon,” Glady says, tearing up. “All the feelings that we had about being separated, it's almost like it was swept under the rug.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once Glady made it to California, and she was in elementary school, she saw a movie that reopened some of those wounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know that scene in ‘Dumbo’ where Dumbo’s mom is in the little jail cell, and she reaches over and grabs Dumbo with her trunk through the bars? It felt like I was Dumbo.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pain came back again this summer, when she heard the stories of children separated from their parents at the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Glady says the worst news story for her was about a father who called his son in detention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Don't you love me? Why did you leave me?\" the boy asks his father. \"Why can't we be together?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Glady, this was too familiar. “When you're a child, those are the only things that you really care about,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Glady was reunited with her parents when she was 4. She remembers what it was like waiting for her dad at the gate in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11681756\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/TCR-2-800x755.jpg\" alt=\"Young Glady reunites with her father at San Francisco International Airport.\" width=\"800\" height=\"755\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11681756\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/TCR-2.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/TCR-2-160x151.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/TCR-2-240x227.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/TCR-2-375x354.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/TCR-2-520x491.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Young Glady reunites with her father at San Francisco International Airport.\u003cbr> \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Glady Lee)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“'Where is he? That one? Is that my dad?'” Glady says. “And then when I see him finally, I'm like, ‘Oh, that's totally my dad because he's the one that's hugging me right now. And he loves me.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But after nearly two years apart, it wasn’t just joyful hugs and kisses. Glady still has scars. And hearing those kids crying on the news, she knows it will be the same for them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I definitely think that there’s a mental health component. And so it almost feels like it's affected almost every really close relationship that I've had with people,” says Glady.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or even casual relationships, like the one with her children’s violin teacher, who’s moving away. “The idea of her leaving just kind of sets me off. People leaving is very traumatic. And it's just a violin teacher, you know.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Glady has two boys of her own now, ages 10 and 14. When they were younger, she stayed home. She wanted to be there during their toddler years, because her mom and dad couldn’t be there for hers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’s grateful her parents got her to California, where she could make that choice. “They put us through college and we have jobs. So that's how it's come full circle, I guess.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At her parents' house in Vallejo, Glady joins them on the couch to look at photo albums. Some are so old that they have to unstick the brittle plastic pages to see them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11681757\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/tcr-3-800x801.jpg\" alt=\"The Guinto family on the day Glady's mother left the Philippines for California. \" width=\"800\" height=\"801\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11681757\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/tcr-3.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/tcr-3-160x160.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/tcr-3-240x240.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/tcr-3-375x375.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/tcr-3-520x521.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/tcr-3-32x32.jpg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/tcr-3-50x50.jpg 50w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/tcr-3-64x64.jpg 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/tcr-3-96x96.jpg 96w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/tcr-3-128x128.jpg 128w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/tcr-3-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Guinto family on the day Glady's mother left the Philippines for California.\u003cbr> \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Glady Lee)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In one photo from 1976, everyone’s dressed up.

But for some, like Glady Lee, the story feels especially personal, and familiar.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Glady was a toddler when her parents left her behind in the Philippines, seeking better jobs in California. That was four decades ago, but she’s still uncovering emotions and secrets from that tender time. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in the 1970s, long-distance phone calls were expensive. So the Guinto family — split apart by the Pacific Ocean — used cassette tapes to stay connected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Philippines, Glady remembers her grandparents holding out a tape recorder to say a message to her parents living in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“‘Glady come here. It's time for you to say hi to your mom and your dad. Tell them what it's like here. Do you want them to bring you anything from the States?'\" Glady remembers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That’s because everyone in the Philippines told her she wasn’t supposed to be sad. Her parents had made it to America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The U.S. was always the place that almost every Filipino wanted to go. That was the dream,\" Glady says. \"And so the dream was happening for my family.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that’s not how it felt to a 2-year old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was sad every day when she was gone and I just didn't know who to express that to, because everyone around me was saying that you should be happy, that you were going to join your mom soon,” Glady says, tearing up. “All the feelings that we had about being separated, it's almost like it was swept under the rug.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once Glady made it to California, and she was in elementary school, she saw a movie that reopened some of those wounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know that scene in ‘Dumbo’ where Dumbo’s mom is in the little jail cell, and she reaches over and grabs Dumbo with her trunk through the bars? It felt like I was Dumbo.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pain came back again this summer, when she heard the stories of children separated from their parents at the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Glady says the worst news story for her was about a father who called his son in detention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Don't you love me? Why did you leave me?\" the boy asks his father. \"Why can't we be together?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Glady, this was too familiar. “When you're a child, those are the only things that you really care about,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Glady was reunited with her parents when she was 4. She remembers what it was like waiting for her dad at the gate in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11681756\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/TCR-2-800x755.jpg\" alt=\"Young Glady reunites with her father at San Francisco International Airport.\" width=\"800\" height=\"755\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11681756\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/TCR-2.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/TCR-2-160x151.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/TCR-2-240x227.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/TCR-2-375x354.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/TCR-2-520x491.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Young Glady reunites with her father at San Francisco International Airport.\u003cbr> \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Glady Lee)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“'Where is he? That one? Is that my dad?'” Glady says. “And then when I see him finally, I'm like, ‘Oh, that's totally my dad because he's the one that's hugging me right now. And he loves me.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But after nearly two years apart, it wasn’t just joyful hugs and kisses. Glady still has scars. And hearing those kids crying on the news, she knows it will be the same for them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I definitely think that there’s a mental health component. And so it almost feels like it's affected almost every really close relationship that I've had with people,” says Glady.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or even casual relationships, like the one with her children’s violin teacher, who’s moving away. “The idea of her leaving just kind of sets me off. People leaving is very traumatic. And it's just a violin teacher, you know.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Glady has two boys of her own now, ages 10 and 14. When they were younger, she stayed home. She wanted to be there during their toddler years, because her mom and dad couldn’t be there for hers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’s grateful her parents got her to California, where she could make that choice. “They put us through college and we have jobs. So that's how it's come full circle, I guess.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At her parents' house in Vallejo, Glady joins them on the couch to look at photo albums. Some are so old that they have to unstick the brittle plastic pages to see them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11681757\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/tcr-3-800x801.jpg\" alt=\"The Guinto family on the day Glady's mother left the Philippines for California. \" width=\"800\" height=\"801\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11681757\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/tcr-3.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/tcr-3-160x160.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/tcr-3-240x240.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/tcr-3-375x375.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/tcr-3-520x521.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/tcr-3-32x32.jpg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/tcr-3-50x50.jpg 50w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/tcr-3-64x64.jpg 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/tcr-3-96x96.jpg 96w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/tcr-3-128x128.jpg 128w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/tcr-3-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Guinto family on the day Glady's mother left the Philippines for California.\u003cbr> \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Glady Lee)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In one photo from 1976, everyone’s dressed up.

And so I realized I had been crying and really missed them. Even leaving them to the grandparents, it's so heartbreaking.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then her dad reveals something huge. Something Glady never knew before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He and his wife didn’t choose to leave their kids behind in the Philippines. They had to. They couldn’t get them a visa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We applied all at the same time, but the consul took them off, the two kids, because the consulate said to establish ourselves here first,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They didn’t want to leave their kids, but it was a sacrifice they had to make to get to California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was so hard. I could still cry,” Nella says. She puts a hand on Glady’s back, then chokes up and hugs her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Glady remains stiff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’s still protecting her parents from her pain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, Glady says she realized something new when she saw her mom finally cry about the separation.

The coalition is made up of tech employees who say they are concerned about the misuse of the technology they create.

The man turns to get another box of supplies. He is swarmed in the middle of the street. A toddler cries out that they didn’t get a drink, and a teenage boy hands him their Gatorade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a group of families who have spent their life savings and traveled from four continents to get to this plaza, this has been their life for almost a month.

Political refugees are still being considered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether intentional or not, the policy has reduced Central Americans and other Latino families to second-class residents of the asylum plaza. The line here is on a gradient of skin colors — Russians and Eastern Europeans move to the front of the plaza line, closest to the gate.

She, too, had been given a number. Visibly pregnant, the woman said she fled after a rival political clan killed her husband at their home.

She believes the baby she is carrying was conceived during that rape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I could not return even if it was safe,” she said. “All my money has been used to get here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Further down the line, a Mexican woman from Guadalajara nurses an infant. She, too, left her home after her husband was killed. She said three men in masks broke into their home a few days after her husband refused to let a cartel use the house. She fled, taking her children with her, and came to Tijuana to apply for asylum. She had not been given a number. She said Border Patrol agents turned her away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Why does the Russian get in, the Russian children get to enter, but my family does not?” she asked, bouncing her baby on her knee. “If we are killed at home, does it matter why?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in his ruling explaining the decision, Attorney General Jeff Sessions wrote that asylum should not include “private violence,” as that creates a “powerful incentive” to “come here illegally and claim a fear of return.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The asylum statute does not provide redress for all misfortune,” Sessions continued. “I understand that many victims of domestic violence may seek to flee from their home countries to extricate themselves from a dire situation or to give themselves the opportunity for a better life.

These cases do not fit what Sessions ruled as “the prototypical refugee,” who flees “… her home country because the government has persecuted her.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Specifically, Sessions ruled that “married women in Guatemala who are unable to leave their relationship” should not be eligible for asylum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The result of that decision, according to immigration advocates and attorneys, is that asylum cases are being “turned around” without the granting of due process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11681481\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11681481\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/BorderPoliceOfficer-800x555.jpg\" alt=\"A U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer stands guard as pedestrians enter the United States at the San Ysidro port of entry.\" width=\"800\" height=\"555\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/BorderPoliceOfficer-800x555.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/BorderPoliceOfficer-160x111.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/BorderPoliceOfficer-1020x708.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/BorderPoliceOfficer-1200x833.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/BorderPoliceOfficer.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/BorderPoliceOfficer-1180x819.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/BorderPoliceOfficer-960x667.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/BorderPoliceOfficer-240x167.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/BorderPoliceOfficer-375x260.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/BorderPoliceOfficer-520x361.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer stands guard as pedestrians enter the United States at the San Ysidro Port of Entry. \u003ccite>(Mario Tama/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A KQED reporter witnessed such a turnaround at the asylum plaza during the weekend of June 23. A group of 13 mothers, organized by lawyers from Pittsburgh and San Diego, presented themselves to a Border Patrol agent for an asylum claim. It appeared that the request was organized just a few hours before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group did not make it past this first step.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As they walked toward the U.S. Port of Entry, a Border Patrol agent greeted them in a long corridor. He told them the U.S. does not accept asylum claims anymore. After two lawyers identified themselves and demanded the officer begin the asylum process, he turned around and walked into a room in the border corridor. Shortly after, a private security guard came out and demanded everyone leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After this exchange, the KQED reporter walked over to the station headquarters and asked to speak with a supervisor. The Border Patrol agent at the desk refused and said, “It’s weird you care about asylum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Are you applying for asylum?” he continued. “Because we don’t process those anymore. And I’m not answering any of your questions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED has since asked for comments from Customs and Border Protection multiple times. CBP has refused that request.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11681371/governments-new-plan-could-hasten-migrant-family-reunifications\">Government’s New Plan Could Hasten Migrant Family Reunifications\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11681371/governments-new-plan-could-hasten-migrant-family-reunifications\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/kpcc1.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Immigration advocates said such “turnarounds” are not new, and have happened in limited cases since the Clinton administration. But according to Bardis Vakili of the San Diego ACLU, these “turnarounds” have taken on a “sharper edge.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s heartlessness and cruelty compounded by ineptitude,” said Vakili. “This is a suffering population who we need to process in some fair way. These are people who are desperate for protection and to protect their children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Janet Napolitano, former Department of Homeland Security chief (and the former governor of a border state), said that even if immigration judges ultimately deny the asylum claims, all people who present themselves at a U.S. port of entry are entitled by federal law to be put on the list for a “credible fear interview.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What that Border Patrol agent said [about not accepting asylum cases] is absolutely wrong,” said Napolitano, who is now president of the University of California. “It’s not the law. I don’t know where he got that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, the mothers returned to the plaza, setting up against the white metallic border fence to wait for a new chance to ask for asylum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The evening sun cast a long shadow, and the women positioned themselves to get covered by a thin slice of shade.

He told them the U.S. does not accept asylum claims anymore. After two lawyers identified themselves and demanded the officer begin the asylum process, he turned around and walked into a room in the border corridor. Shortly after, a private security guard came out and demanded everyone leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After this exchange, the KQED reporter walked over to the station headquarters and asked to speak with a supervisor. The Border Patrol agent at the desk refused and said, “It’s weird you care about asylum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Are you applying for asylum?” he continued. “Because we don’t process those anymore.

These are people who are desperate for protection and to protect their children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Janet Napolitano, former Department of Homeland Security chief (and the former governor of a border state), said that even if immigration judges ultimately deny the asylum claims, all people who present themselves at a U.S. port of entry are entitled by federal law to be put on the list for a “credible fear interview.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What that Border Patrol agent said [about not accepting asylum cases] is absolutely wrong,” said Napolitano, who is now president of the University of California. “It’s not the law.

The protocol in some cases includes DNA testing and acquiring copies of birth certificates from consulates, and it can take months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, DNA tests \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11680203/government-says-57-young-migrant-children-have-been-reunited-with-parents\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">delayed\u003c/a> reunifications of some children under the age of 5. The government identified 103 children but had failed to return 20 of them to parents by a July 10 deadline.

Jonathan White with the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White, who designed the expedited reunification plan, testified Monday that the Office of Refugee Resettlement had identified nearly all of the parents of the 2,551 children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He told Sabraw that roughly a third of the parents were in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and could be reunited with their children within 48 hours — once they had been cleared.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By Monday, ICE had given final approval to 918 cases and expected to review another 348 cases by the end of the week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White said 51 cases had “not been cleared” by ICE.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The government is scheduled to update the court on reunifications by 3 p.m. Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Reunifications Will Take Place at Eight ICE Facilities\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For families approved for reunification, the government plans to send parents to one of eight ICE detention facilities in the U.S. and then deliver the child to the parent in custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White did not reveal the locations but said most of the children whose parents were in immigration custody could be transferred to those ICE facilities in six to 48 hours. Roughly 50 children faced longer journeys, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sabraw called the plan sound.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It does all of the things that I thought the court had made clear from day one, where there's a streamlined process where reunification can happen quickly and safely,” Sabraw said. “The two are not divorced from one another.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Help Available for Families\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spencer Amdur with the American Civil Liberties Union, which filed the \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/cases/ms-l-v-ice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lawsuit\u003c/a> representing separated families, said he was still waiting for the government to confirm the names of people reunited this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think they’re doing it — hopefully quickly,” Amdur said. “They’re doing it in batches. Another group each day is getting reunified, and then hopefully released.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now the government is not allowed to immediately deport reunified families. The ACLU says it asked for the stay on removals to give families time to learn their legal rights and fully consider their options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amdur said hundreds of volunteer immigration attorneys have mobilized to help represent the families.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The protocol in some cases includes DNA testing and acquiring copies of birth certificates from consulates, and it can take months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, DNA tests \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11680203/government-says-57-young-migrant-children-have-been-reunited-with-parents\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">delayed\u003c/a> reunifications of some children under the age of 5. The government identified 103 children but had failed to return 20 of them to parents by a July 10 deadline. The government later reported 57 of the youngest children were returned to parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>New Plan\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The government's new plan streamlines the vetting process, while still protecting children from traffickers and abuse, according to Cmdr. Jonathan White with the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White, who designed the expedited reunification plan, testified Monday that the Office of Refugee Resettlement had identified nearly all of the parents of the 2,551 children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He told Sabraw that roughly a third of the parents were in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and could be reunited with their children within 48 hours — once they had been cleared.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By Monday, ICE had given final approval to 918 cases and expected to review another 348 cases by the end of the week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White said 51 cases had “not been cleared” by ICE.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The government is scheduled to update the court on reunifications by 3 p.m. Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Reunifications Will Take Place at Eight ICE Facilities\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For families approved for reunification, the government plans to send parents to one of eight ICE detention facilities in the U.S. and then deliver the child to the parent in custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White did not reveal the locations but said most of the children whose parents were in immigration custody could be transferred to those ICE facilities in six to 48 hours. Roughly 50 children faced longer journeys, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sabraw called the plan sound.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It does all of the things that I thought the court had made clear from day one, where there's a streamlined process where reunification can happen quickly and safely,” Sabraw said. “The two are not divorced from one another.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Help Available for Families\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spencer Amdur with the American Civil Liberties Union, which filed the \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/cases/ms-l-v-ice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lawsuit\u003c/a> representing separated families, said he was still waiting for the government to confirm the names of people reunited this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think they’re doing it — hopefully quickly,” Amdur said. “They’re doing it in batches. Another group each day is getting reunified, and then hopefully released.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now the government is not allowed to immediately deport reunified families. The ACLU says it asked for the stay on removals to give families time to learn their legal rights and fully consider their options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amdur said hundreds of volunteer immigration attorneys have mobilized to help represent the families.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
