As \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Central Valley Bureau Chief based in Fresno for nearly a dozen years, Sasha brought the lives and concerns of rural Californians to listeners around the state. Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R. Murrow and a national PRNDI award for investigative reporting, as well as multiple prizes from the Society for Professional Journalists. Sasha is a proud alum of the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and Brown University and a member of the South Asian Journalists Association.",

My father was actually in Saigon on business, and my mother had to make a life and death decision about what to do. So she decided to flee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My brother and I and my mother walked to the nearest port town 184 kilometers away. We were able to get on board a boat or barge and make it to Saigon, find my dad, and then a month later, the communists took Saigon as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So we had to repeat the experience, trying to get out by the airport, trying to get out by whatever means necessary. Finally, we got out on another barge or boat picked up by the U.S. Navy and were taken to Guam and then we flew from there to \u003ca href=\"http://ftig.png.pa.gov/Pages/default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Fort Indiantown Gap\u003c/a>, in Pennsylvania, which is where my memory really begins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So how much of that journey is etched in your memory and how much of it comes from what other people have told you?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I remember being taken away from my parents at 4 years old and sent to live with a white sponsor family while (the rest of my family) were sent to live with another family. That is a part of the refugee experience -- to be displaced and to have your lives suddenly at the mercy of other people's decisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You've said that your family didn't talk much about their refugee experience, or if they did it was through silences. Do you think that that's part of the reason why those stories don't end up getting told? Because it's painful for people to relive those experiences?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's partially true. I mean I met many second generation Vietnamese-Americans who are not aware of what their parents have gone through. My own students for example, say \"Well I think my parents came on a boat.\" And they don't know and because their parents don't want to talk about it and I understand why. Because someone asks you what was it like and they expect an answer in a couple of minutes and you're supposed to try to convey a lifetime in that couple of minutes to even make sense out of what happened to you. So there's a reluctance to talk. But I think even when people do talk -- and there are people who do talk in Vietnamese about their stories -- the people who cannot speak Vietnamese can't hear it or don't want to hear it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You've talked about people sharing their experiences within the community in Vietnamese, and you've also said that you know you're not writing for a white audience necessarily with your work. How do share those experiences in a way that creates empathy in a climate where some people have the notion that refugees are dangerous?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well I think all novelists, all writers and artists work to create empathy and that's the basic material for what it is that we do. I don't think my work is any different. I mean the problem is not in getting people to read the books or watch the movies. The problem is the distribution of information. And the problem is that either some people live in places where they don't get this information or they don't want to get this information. If somebody picks up my book I've already won half the battle. But I think the real challenge is to get people to pick up the book.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Your new book \"The Refugees\" is a collection of stories that you wrote over two decades. You have a young woman who sees the ghost of her brother. You have this dynamic between two women of the same age within the Vietnamese community in San Jose. They're all stories of Vietnamese refugees, but told from different perspectives.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think there is a great degree of emotional similarity across these different kinds of experiences. And certainly that was what I wanted to try to do with the book, to talk about people whose stories I knew very intimately and whose stories I also knew that most Americans knew nothing about. \u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'We don’t see refugees as courageous. We see refugees as as pitiful. And I think I hope that my own book and the stories of other refugees work to make it clear that they’re not pitiful — that they’re only pitiful because of their circumstances.'\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>So the primary challenge of the of the collection was simply to convey the humanity of these people and their complexities and the nuances. So these stories range the spectrum from older people to younger people, gay and straight men and women and military and so on, to try to convey the fact that we cannot stereotype or flatten out or homogenize even a national or an ethnic population and the diversity of these people is exactly the diversity of other communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What can you tell us about American public opinion at the time that Vietnamese refugees were coming to the U.S. in the '70s and '80s?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, the U.S. just ended a very terrible war with the communists in Vietnam. But I think many Americans saw all Vietnamese as being rather foreign whether they were on the American side or not on the American side. So in 1975 when Congress was admitting Vietnamese refugees into the country, opinion polls show that the majority of Americans didn't want to accept Vietnamese or other Southeast Asian refugees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I notice in your work that you make this distinction between immigrants and refugees. Why is that?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think it's really important to assert that I am a refugee rather than an immigrant because when my book came out, when \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/05/books/review/the-sympathizer-by-viet-thanh-nguyen.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\">\"The Sympathizer\" \u003c/a>came out so many of the reviews were saying this is an immigrant novel. I understood why they were saying that because the idea of the immigrant experience is absolutely central to the American story or the American mythology. Even though at periodic points in American history the United States has been actually rather anti-immigrant. Nevertheless the idea of the American dream is that we welcome immigrants to these shores. And so the easiest way to make sense out of somebody like me who was born elsewhere is to call me an immigrant which implicitly turns me into a success story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Refugees are much more threatening than immigrants. Immigrants voluntarily come to our country. They've chosen our country. Refugees have been forced out by circumstances and they are the unwanted in the countries that they come from. And that is one of the reasons why I think Americans and other people from other countries have a hard time dealing with refugees because of the stigma that they carry of being unwanted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the other hand you have some Americans who feel great compassion for refugees because they're 'legitimate' migrants fleeing war, versus migrants fleeing economic or environmental devastation.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So there's always been that tension within the United States and in other countries obviously. But so far as the question of whether refugees are more desirable than immigrants for some people I think that's absolutely true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You said this is the stuff of fiction what's happening right now with refugee policy. Is there anything that you feel when you look at these experiences of Syrians and people from the Middle East that resonates with the experience of the Vietnamese community back when you came?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the things that I did in doing research for my nonfiction work was to visit a refugee camp in Indonesia. So the Vietnamese refugees who were fleeing -- the so-called \"boat people\" -- were trying to make it to neighboring South-East Asian countries like Indonesia. And it was a very horrible experience you know. And some estimates are that half of the people who went out to sea didn't survive. They just disappeared somewhere. And at this refugee camp there there was a cemetery and there are gravestones marking people who had died when they were 80 and marking people who had died when they were zero or three months. And I think then that we do share something in common with the Syrians for example who were trying to flee their country by boat. The terror, the fear. The odds being stacked completely stacked against you. There's a line in one of my stories I think where I say, you know to be a refugee is to be enormously courageous because you go out on that boat to the open sea knowing that the likelihood is that you're going to die.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But we don't see refugees as courageous. We see refugees as as pitiful. And I think I hope that my own book and the stories of other refugees work to make it clear that they're not pitiful -- that they're only pitiful because of their circumstances.

Whereas if you were in some city in Kansas there might've been 100 or 200 Vietnamese people. That made a big difference. You know you didn't grow up feeling alone. You had all of the typical problems of being a refugee but at least you had the community with its churches, its stores its social services, its language. And that helped people to create a sense of home a displaced home not in the old country, but still, a Little Saigon or something like it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So many of your stories touch on dislocation, a sense of not belonging.

Obviously I am not a refugee in any material sense. I have made the transition as one colleague jokingly says from 'being refugee to bourgeoisie.' And no one would ever mistake me for a refugee unless I said it. But I feel like I've been shaped by my refugee experience and psychologically part of me is a refugee. I don't feel completely at home. I feel like I'm still somewhat of an outsider.

And I think in the last few years I'd resigned myself to the possibility that the book was never going to be published and I had actually gotten to the psychological mindset of thinking. \"Well I didn't waste 20 years of my life.

My father was actually in Saigon on business, and my mother had to make a life and death decision about what to do. So she decided to flee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My brother and I and my mother walked to the nearest port town 184 kilometers away. We were able to get on board a boat or barge and make it to Saigon, find my dad, and then a month later, the communists took Saigon as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So we had to repeat the experience, trying to get out by the airport, trying to get out by whatever means necessary. Finally, we got out on another barge or boat picked up by the U.S. Navy and were taken to Guam and then we flew from there to \u003ca href=\"http://ftig.png.pa.gov/Pages/default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Fort Indiantown Gap\u003c/a>, in Pennsylvania, which is where my memory really begins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So how much of that journey is etched in your memory and how much of it comes from what other people have told you?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I remember being taken away from my parents at 4 years old and sent to live with a white sponsor family while (the rest of my family) were sent to live with another family. That is a part of the refugee experience -- to be displaced and to have your lives suddenly at the mercy of other people's decisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You've said that your family didn't talk much about their refugee experience, or if they did it was through silences. Do you think that that's part of the reason why those stories don't end up getting told? Because it's painful for people to relive those experiences?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's partially true. I mean I met many second generation Vietnamese-Americans who are not aware of what their parents have gone through. My own students for example, say \"Well I think my parents came on a boat.\" And they don't know and because their parents don't want to talk about it and I understand why. Because someone asks you what was it like and they expect an answer in a couple of minutes and you're supposed to try to convey a lifetime in that couple of minutes to even make sense out of what happened to you. So there's a reluctance to talk. But I think even when people do talk -- and there are people who do talk in Vietnamese about their stories -- the people who cannot speak Vietnamese can't hear it or don't want to hear it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You've talked about people sharing their experiences within the community in Vietnamese, and you've also said that you know you're not writing for a white audience necessarily with your work. How do share those experiences in a way that creates empathy in a climate where some people have the notion that refugees are dangerous?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well I think all novelists, all writers and artists work to create empathy and that's the basic material for what it is that we do. I don't think my work is any different. I mean the problem is not in getting people to read the books or watch the movies. The problem is the distribution of information. And the problem is that either some people live in places where they don't get this information or they don't want to get this information. If somebody picks up my book I've already won half the battle. But I think the real challenge is to get people to pick up the book.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Your new book \"The Refugees\" is a collection of stories that you wrote over two decades. You have a young woman who sees the ghost of her brother. You have this dynamic between two women of the same age within the Vietnamese community in San Jose. They're all stories of Vietnamese refugees, but told from different perspectives.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think there is a great degree of emotional similarity across these different kinds of experiences. And certainly that was what I wanted to try to do with the book, to talk about people whose stories I knew very intimately and whose stories I also knew that most Americans knew nothing about. \u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'We don’t see refugees as courageous. We see refugees as as pitiful. And I think I hope that my own book and the stories of other refugees work to make it clear that they’re not pitiful — that they’re only pitiful because of their circumstances.'\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>So the primary challenge of the of the collection was simply to convey the humanity of these people and their complexities and the nuances. So these stories range the spectrum from older people to younger people, gay and straight men and women and military and so on, to try to convey the fact that we cannot stereotype or flatten out or homogenize even a national or an ethnic population and the diversity of these people is exactly the diversity of other communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What can you tell us about American public opinion at the time that Vietnamese refugees were coming to the U.S. in the '70s and '80s?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, the U.S. just ended a very terrible war with the communists in Vietnam. But I think many Americans saw all Vietnamese as being rather foreign whether they were on the American side or not on the American side. So in 1975 when Congress was admitting Vietnamese refugees into the country, opinion polls show that the majority of Americans didn't want to accept Vietnamese or other Southeast Asian refugees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I notice in your work that you make this distinction between immigrants and refugees. Why is that?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think it's really important to assert that I am a refugee rather than an immigrant because when my book came out, when \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/05/books/review/the-sympathizer-by-viet-thanh-nguyen.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\">\"The Sympathizer\" \u003c/a>came out so many of the reviews were saying this is an immigrant novel. I understood why they were saying that because the idea of the immigrant experience is absolutely central to the American story or the American mythology. Even though at periodic points in American history the United States has been actually rather anti-immigrant. Nevertheless the idea of the American dream is that we welcome immigrants to these shores. And so the easiest way to make sense out of somebody like me who was born elsewhere is to call me an immigrant which implicitly turns me into a success story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Refugees are much more threatening than immigrants. Immigrants voluntarily come to our country. They've chosen our country. Refugees have been forced out by circumstances and they are the unwanted in the countries that they come from. And that is one of the reasons why I think Americans and other people from other countries have a hard time dealing with refugees because of the stigma that they carry of being unwanted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the other hand you have some Americans who feel great compassion for refugees because they're 'legitimate' migrants fleeing war, versus migrants fleeing economic or environmental devastation.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So there's always been that tension within the United States and in other countries obviously. But so far as the question of whether refugees are more desirable than immigrants for some people I think that's absolutely true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You said this is the stuff of fiction what's happening right now with refugee policy. Is there anything that you feel when you look at these experiences of Syrians and people from the Middle East that resonates with the experience of the Vietnamese community back when you came?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the things that I did in doing research for my nonfiction work was to visit a refugee camp in Indonesia. So the Vietnamese refugees who were fleeing -- the so-called \"boat people\" -- were trying to make it to neighboring South-East Asian countries like Indonesia. And it was a very horrible experience you know. And some estimates are that half of the people who went out to sea didn't survive. They just disappeared somewhere. And at this refugee camp there there was a cemetery and there are gravestones marking people who had died when they were 80 and marking people who had died when they were zero or three months. And I think then that we do share something in common with the Syrians for example who were trying to flee their country by boat. The terror, the fear. The odds being stacked completely stacked against you. There's a line in one of my stories I think where I say, you know to be a refugee is to be enormously courageous because you go out on that boat to the open sea knowing that the likelihood is that you're going to die.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But we don't see refugees as courageous. We see refugees as as pitiful. And I think I hope that my own book and the stories of other refugees work to make it clear that they're not pitiful -- that they're only pitiful because of their circumstances. But it takes enormous initiative as well as fear to take your life into your own hands and to risk it in that fashion and that is something that the Vietnamese and the Syrians shared.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How do you think your experience growing up as a refugee in California may have been different from the experience of refugees who grew up in other parts of the country?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think that the refugees who ended up in California either because they were put there by government policy or because they voluntarily migrated thought of themselves as lucky because of the weather, because of the diversity, because of the economic and social welfare opportunities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We also had the advantage of living in strong Vietnamese-American centers of population. Whereas if you were in some city in Kansas there might've been 100 or 200 Vietnamese people. That made a big difference. You know you didn't grow up feeling alone.

And no one would ever mistake me for a refugee unless I said it. But I feel like I've been shaped by my refugee experience and psychologically part of me is a refugee.

For the U.S. at that time, the working definition of \"refugee\" was someone fleeing from a Communist or a Communist-dominated country -- and anyone who did that was a propaganda victory for the West.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. was initially resistant to admitting displaced persons.

By 1978 those countries were pushing refugees back, and people were drowning or getting attacked by pirates. There was media coverage and international outcry. The next year, 1979, 111,000 refugees came to the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Establishing a Refugee Cap\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Finally, Congress faced the reality that there needed to be something more concrete to set policy. It passed the \u003ca href=\"https://www.archivesfoundation.org/documents/refugee-act-1980/\">Refugee Act of 1980\u003c/a>, establishing a procedure for the president to establish a “ceiling” or “target” for refugee admissions and resettlement in U.S. The president would consult with Congress, but still held the authority to establish the annual number or cap. And sometimes Congress would even push that number higher than the presidential request.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[RefugeeCap]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1980, there were 207,000 arrivals in one year. That was the peak year for U.S. refugee admissions -- the number hasn’t been exceeded since.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having a firm policy helped the system become a lot more organized. Now there was federal funding, and agencies -- some of them faith-based -- were designated to coordinate local reception and resettling. Things settled down. Refugee numbers from 1983 to 1989 were about 60-70,000 a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then after 1989, there were the Balkan wars, and other regional conflicts that bumped the numbers up over 100,000 annually. In 1992, it reached 132,000, then drifted down again.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Post-Sept. 11\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>After 9/11, there was a dramatic drop-off in refugee admissions. The Bush administration suspended the whole refugee program for two months, but there was little public controversy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's because a lot of refugees were coming from Somalia, Afghanistan and other countries with an al-Qaeda presence. Still, none of the 9/11 hijackers were refugees. Fourteen were on six-month tourist visas, four had a business visa and one had a student visa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the 9/11 suspension, new security protocols were put in place for the refugee program. And it was hard to get in for a while. But then it recovered, admissions got back up to about 40,000 to 50,000. President Obama started raising the cap, first to 70,000 and then to 85,000. By the time he left office, he had set it at 110,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So why has there been such an outcry to President Trump’s executive order, compared to the temporary suspension after 9/11?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The difference is that Trump lowered the cap. There was no lowering of the cap post-9/11 -- it was just a two-month suspension of arrivals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump lowered it from 110,000 to 50,000 for this fiscal year. And as of Jan. 27, when he made his announcement, 32,000 refugees had already arrived. So there’s only room now for 18,000 more before Oct.1. And right now there are close to 70,000 in the pipeline for U.S. resettlement. They’ve essentially been accepted, but they're still being screened. So about 50,000 refugees who thought they were going to be moving to U.S. this year will not be.\u003c/p>\n\n",

By 1978 those countries were pushing refugees back, and people were drowning or getting attacked by pirates. There was media coverage and international outcry. The next year, 1979, 111,000 refugees came to the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Establishing a Refugee Cap\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Finally, Congress faced the reality that there needed to be something more concrete to set policy. It passed the \u003ca href=\"https://www.archivesfoundation.org/documents/refugee-act-1980/\">Refugee Act of 1980\u003c/a>, establishing a procedure for the president to establish a “ceiling” or “target” for refugee admissions and resettlement in U.S. The president would consult with Congress, but still held the authority to establish the annual number or cap. And sometimes Congress would even push that number higher than the presidential request.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[RefugeeCap]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1980, there were 207,000 arrivals in one year. That was the peak year for U.S. refugee admissions -- the number hasn’t been exceeded since.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having a firm policy helped the system become a lot more organized. Now there was federal funding, and agencies -- some of them faith-based -- were designated to coordinate local reception and resettling. Things settled down. Refugee numbers from 1983 to 1989 were about 60-70,000 a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then after 1989, there were the Balkan wars, and other regional conflicts that bumped the numbers up over 100,000 annually. In 1992, it reached 132,000, then drifted down again.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Post-Sept. 11\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>After 9/11, there was a dramatic drop-off in refugee admissions. The Bush administration suspended the whole refugee program for two months, but there was little public controversy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's because a lot of refugees were coming from Somalia, Afghanistan and other countries with an al-Qaeda presence. Still, none of the 9/11 hijackers were refugees. Fourteen were on six-month tourist visas, four had a business visa and one had a student visa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the 9/11 suspension, new security protocols were put in place for the refugee program. And it was hard to get in for a while. But then it recovered, admissions got back up to about 40,000 to 50,000. President Obama started raising the cap, first to 70,000 and then to 85,000. By the time he left office, he had set it at 110,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So why has there been such an outcry to President Trump’s executive order, compared to the temporary suspension after 9/11?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The difference is that Trump lowered the cap. There was no lowering of the cap post-9/11 -- it was just a two-month suspension of arrivals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The moves comes a week after Trump signed an executive order directing federal agencies to cut grants to local governments that refuse to use local police or resources to enforce U.S. immigration law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's a rundown of the action each jurisdiction took:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Santa Clara County supervisors \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Santa-Clara-County-Considers-Suing-President-Trump-412355773.html\">voted unanimously to move forward\u003c/a> with a lawsuit, similar to San Francisco's, challenging Trump's order to strip sanctuary cities and counties of federal funds.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Oakland \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/12/21/la-county-approves-3m-defense-fund-for-immigrants-facing-deportation/\">joined Los Angeles\u003c/a> and other cities that are putting public funds into deportation defense funds. The City Council \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Oakland-sets-up-300-000-fund-to-fight-10899021.php\">voted to put $300,000 \u003c/a>over the next 18 months \u003ca href=\"///Users/johnmyers/Downloads/View%20Report.pdf\">into a \"rapid response network\" made up of 12 \u003c/a>groups that will help local families facing deportations.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Santa Rosa's City Council voted to explore protecting their immigration population, possibly by becoming a sanctuary city. The vote came after people in favor of expanding immigration protections \u003ca href=\"http://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/6610224-181/santa-rosa-to-consider-sanctuary?artslide=0\">packed the City Council chambers wearing red shirts\u003c/a>.

Nobody has ever told me that. I mean, it's assumed, but to see it and to see it in the faces of the audience -- the majority of them did not look like me, but yet they cared enough to come to the council to speak for everybody,\" he said. \"And that's what we need to be doing, (asking), 'How do I speak for everyone and not just my own special interests or needs?' \"\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Local officials said they aren't trying to pick a fight with Trump but are acting to keep their communities safe. Oakland officials, for example, noted in a \u003ca href=\"///Users/johnmyers/Downloads/View%20Report.pdf\">report\u003c/a> that more than 25 percent of its residents are immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many such residents won't feel comfortable sending their kids to school, seeking medical care or reporting crimes if they know that local officials are going to ask about their immigration status or turn them over to federal officials, San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his executive order, Trump stated that sanctuary jurisdictions \"willfully violate federal law in an attempt to shield aliens from removal of the United States,” and \"have caused immeasurable harm to the American people and to the very fabric of our republic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in the lawsuit he filed, Herrera questioned who was violating federal law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Obey the rule of law. Abide by the constitution. We are a nation of laws, not of men, right?\" he said. \"You're not an emperor who rules by fiat. We all have to abide by the rule of law and we are going to make that clear.\"\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Olivares said Santa Rosa intends to defend other classes of citizens — such as LGBT individuals — who could face attack under a Trump presidency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\"The issue is, how are people, residents in our community feeling?\" he asked. \"Are they going to feel safe?\"\u003cbr>\n\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The moves comes a week after Trump signed an executive order directing federal agencies to cut grants to local governments that refuse to use local police or resources to enforce U.S. immigration law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's a rundown of the action each jurisdiction took:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Santa Clara County supervisors \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Santa-Clara-County-Considers-Suing-President-Trump-412355773.html\">voted unanimously to move forward\u003c/a> with a lawsuit, similar to San Francisco's, challenging Trump's order to strip sanctuary cities and counties of federal funds.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Oakland \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/12/21/la-county-approves-3m-defense-fund-for-immigrants-facing-deportation/\">joined Los Angeles\u003c/a> and other cities that are putting public funds into deportation defense funds. The City Council \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Oakland-sets-up-300-000-fund-to-fight-10899021.php\">voted to put $300,000 \u003c/a>over the next 18 months \u003ca href=\"///Users/johnmyers/Downloads/View%20Report.pdf\">into a \"rapid response network\" made up of 12 \u003c/a>groups that will help local families facing deportations.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Santa Rosa's City Council voted to explore protecting their immigration population, possibly by becoming a sanctuary city. The vote came after people in favor of expanding immigration protections \u003ca href=\"http://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/6610224-181/santa-rosa-to-consider-sanctuary?artslide=0\">packed the City Council chambers wearing red shirts\u003c/a>. Councilman Ernesto Olivares said he was touched seeing the group, noting he was an immigrant who arrived in the U.S. as a child: \"These people are telling me I am welcome here. Nobody has ever told me that. I mean, it's assumed, but to see it and to see it in the faces of the audience -- the majority of them did not look like me, but yet they cared enough to come to the council to speak for everybody,\" he said. \"And that's what we need to be doing, (asking), 'How do I speak for everyone and not just my own special interests or needs?' \"\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Local officials said they aren't trying to pick a fight with Trump but are acting to keep their communities safe. Oakland officials, for example, noted in a \u003ca href=\"///Users/johnmyers/Downloads/View%20Report.pdf\">report\u003c/a> that more than 25 percent of its residents are immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many such residents won't feel comfortable sending their kids to school, seeking medical care or reporting crimes if they know that local officials are going to ask about their immigration status or turn them over to federal officials, San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Syrian refugees are banned indefinitely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The move caused immediate controversy,\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/01/29/512304697/dispatches-of-discontent-protesters-of-immigration-ban-take-to-the-streets\"> sparking protests\u003c/a> in cities and airports around the U.S. as federal authorities began enforcing the ban, preventing\u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2017/01/30/the-number-of-people-affected-by-trumps-travel-ban-about-90000/\"> hundreds of travelers\u003c/a> from boarding planes over the weekend. Other travelers and refugees landing in the U.S. have been detained or sent back. Federal judges quickly weighed in to issue temporary stays, and the future of the executive order will likely to be determined in court. The Trump administration has also come under criticism from scores of countries, including close allies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, a \u003ca href=\"http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-immigration-poll-exclusive-idUSKBN15F2MG\">recent poll by Reuters/Ipsos\u003c/a> shows public opinion narrowly backs Trump's action, with 49 percent of Americans agreeing with the order while 41 percent disagree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NPR and dozens of member stations wanted to help the public understand where their lawmakers stand on the issue. Collectively, we searched for public statements on Twitter and Facebook, on lawmakers' websites and in interviews with us in public media or other news organizations. We did this for each of the 536 members of Congress — 100 senators, 435 voting members of the House, and the District of Columbia's non-voting House delegate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, strong partisan lines are clear on the issue, with Democrats in Congress overwhelmingly opposed to the new travel restrictions; many of them joined in the airport protests and some called it a \"Muslim ban.\" On the Republican side, members generally support the order, although significant numbers did not make public statements. A few Republicans, especially in the Senate, stated their opposition or offered mixed messages, with some critical of how the order was carried out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
