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.

At 86, he’s still farms on his property in Live Oak, just outside Yuba City. In late October, he oversaw the kiwi harvest. Workers on a small crew plucked the fuzzy fruit from what look like oversized grape vines, tossed them into bags slung around their necks, then dumped them into bins on a tractor idling between rows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For most of his life here, Ghag grew peaches, and right there on the side of the field he started reciting a poem he wrote called “I’m A Peach Farmer” (Mohinder Ghag’s a bit of a poet with a number of books published in Punjabi).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the early 1900s, the impacts of famine and British colonialism forced thousands of Punjabis out of their homeland. Many found their way to the Sacramento Valley, with a familiar climate and location at the nexus of many rivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This area is very close to the Punjab,” Ghag said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11202036\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11202036\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/GhagKiwis-800x477.jpg\" alt=\"At 86, Mohinder Singh Ghag still farms kiwis in Live Oak, California.\" width=\"800\" height=\"477\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/GhagKiwis-800x477.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/GhagKiwis-160x95.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/GhagKiwis-1020x608.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/GhagKiwis.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/GhagKiwis-1180x704.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/GhagKiwis-960x573.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/GhagKiwis-240x143.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/GhagKiwis-375x224.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/GhagKiwis-520x310.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">At 86, Mohinder Singh Ghag still farms kiwis in Live Oak, California. \u003ccite>(Meradith Hoddinott/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Within years, though, Indians and other Asians were barred from owning land, because of so-called Alien Land Laws. By 1917, Congress passed a law barring immigration from many Asian countries, including India.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 1950s, Mohinder Ghag’s sister married into one of those early-immigrant families, and 10 years later sponsored Ghag to come. He remembers being one of a few men in the area wearing a turban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It helped me a whole lot, the turban,” he said. I did a double-take when he said this. After Sept. 11, 2001, and more recently after the shootings in San Bernardino, hate crimes against Sikhs ballooned. Some attackers mistook Sikhs for Muslims. Others simply targeted Sikhs for being different. But, Ghag says, his turban has opened doors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It helped me a whole lot because I’m a source of attraction wherever I go,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”CJnbtEdlcFYlDZrAt1Jqf7dWeljvb7JV”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I approached Ghag every way I could with questions about isolation and discrimination, but he insisted: “In this community I haven’t felt that someone discriminated [against] me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ghag dove into civic life here, starting a Punjabi writers group, serving on the hospital board and the Peach Advisory Board, even being a California delegate for the Democratic Party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re in a society and society’s got an investment in you, if you don’t turn it back the society will go bankrupt,” Ghag said. “So it’s our duty to serve.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Connecting with neighbors is a big reason the Sikh community started the public Guru Gadee celebration 37 years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s more recognition that we are a community living here,” Ghag said, “and since then it’s bigger and bigger every year.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says it’s an opportunity for Sikhs to celebrate their own holiday and bring others in, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.californiafoodways.com/\">California Foodways\u003c/a> is supported, in part, by \u003ca href=\"http://www.calhum.org/\">California Humanities\u003c/a>.

Reassurances did little to stem the second-grader's torrent of questions about what would happen to her mom and other Mexican immigrants under President-elect Donald Trump's administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She has been very scared,\" said Fierro in Spanish. \"I realized I had to figure out how to manage this and answer my daughter.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So when Fierro found out through the Berkeley Unified School District about a public forum on immigration rights that offered free consultations with attorneys, she jumped at the chance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I needed to learn about our rights so that my daughter feels less anxious,\" said Fierro. \"I needed to know what my options are for staying here legally.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/295711401\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigrants fearful of an increased risk of detention and deportation under Trump's administration are flocking to \"Know Your Rights\" events popping up throughout California. These forums are often organized at schools, churches and other safe zones. They aim to provide undocumented residents with guidance on how to navigate potential changes in immigration enforcement, beginning next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Obama administration carried out 2.4 million deportations between fiscal years 2009 and 2014, according to the most recent Department of Homeland Security \u003ca href=\"https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/DHS%202014%20Yearbook.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">figures\u003c/a>. That's 45 percent more removals than those under President George W. Bush during his entire eight years in office. But Donald Trump's campaign rhetoric -- and a pledge to incarcerate or deport up to 3 million immigrants \"with criminal records\" soon after he takes office on Jan. 20 -- have intensified the demand for legal advice on immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The demand for information is great because fear goes all the way up to panic for some undocumented immigrants,\" said Mark Silverman, a senior staff attorney with the Immigrant Legal Resource Center in San Francisco. \"So we've got to calm it in a realistic way. The overall message is to stay calm, but be informed and prepared.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'Everybody in this country is protected by the U.S. Constitution.'\u003ccite>Mark Silverman, Immigrant Legal Resource Center\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>During the recent forum at Berkeley's Longfellow Middle School, Silverman addressed an audience of about 250 people packing the auditorium's stands. He talked about different types of visa applications, and urged the crowd to speak with an attorney to find out if they qualify for a green card or citizenship. Then he asked the audience about their kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"How many of you have U.S. citizen children?\" said Silverman in Spanish. Most attendees raised their hands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silverman told undocumented parents especially to take steps in the event that immigration authorities detain them, including making a list of contacts who could pick up their children from school and care for them temporarily. If Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents visit their home, he said, they can exercise their right to not let anyone in without a warrant, and to remain silent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Everybody in this country is protected by the U.S. Constitution, whether they are a citizen, legal resident or undocumented,\" he said. \"People don’t have to open their doors to ICE, people don't have to speak with ICE.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, Silverman recommends sliding a written note under the door to the agent. For years, the Immigrant Legal Resource Center has been distributing red pocket-size cards outlining these rights in English and Spanish. But Silverman said the organization recently began ramping up its \"red card\" campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11198812\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11198812 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS22946_IMG_6277-qut.jpg\" alt=\"Laura Fierro holds a card listing her right to not open her door for an immigration agent without a warrant, on November 22, 2016.

That's 45 percent more removals than those under President George W. Bush during his entire eight years in office. But Donald Trump's campaign rhetoric -- and a pledge to incarcerate or deport up to 3 million immigrants \"with criminal records\" soon after he takes office on Jan. 20 -- have intensified the demand for legal advice on immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The demand for information is great because fear goes all the way up to panic for some undocumented immigrants,\" said Mark Silverman, a senior staff attorney with the Immigrant Legal Resource Center in San Francisco. \"So we've got to calm it in a realistic way. The overall message is to stay calm, but be informed and prepared.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'Everybody in this country is protected by the U.S. Constitution.'\u003ccite>Mark Silverman, Immigrant Legal Resource Center\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>During the recent forum at Berkeley's Longfellow Middle School, Silverman addressed an audience of about 250 people packing the auditorium's stands. He talked about different types of visa applications, and urged the crowd to speak with an attorney to find out if they qualify for a green card or citizenship. Then he asked the audience about their kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"How many of you have U.S. citizen children?\" said Silverman in Spanish. Most attendees raised their hands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silverman told undocumented parents especially to take steps in the event that immigration authorities detain them, including making a list of contacts who could pick up their children from school and care for them temporarily. If Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents visit their home, he said, they can exercise their right to not let anyone in without a warrant, and to remain silent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Everybody in this country is protected by the U.S. Constitution, whether they are a citizen, legal resident or undocumented,\" he said. \"People don’t have to open their doors to ICE, people don't have to speak with ICE.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, Silverman recommends sliding a written note under the door to the agent. For years, the Immigrant Legal Resource Center has been distributing red pocket-size cards outlining these rights in English and Spanish.

Rodriguez, deals with the rights of legal permanent residents who are subject to deportation because they’ve been convicted of crimes, and asylum seekers who have met the government’s initial criteria for protection from persecution. Both groups are subject to mandatory detention while they fight deportation in immigration court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are roughly 8,000 such detainees on any given day. They are among more than 400,000 immigrants detained by the Department of Homeland Security in the course of a year. Those numbers could increase if President-elect Donald Trump makes good on his pledge to deport millions of unauthorized immigrants and immigrants with criminal histories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2015 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, in San Francisco, upheld a lower court ruling that said that these detainees are entitled to hearing before an immigration judge every six months to consider them for release while their immigration cases proceed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”fsgzknZwDBASwdQ688UeLyz2upaPBnpi”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ahilan Arulanantham, an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union, is representing the immigrants.

Some of the justices took issue with that approach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chief Justice John Roberts noted that the appeals court’s decision shifts the burden off of the immigrant to provide proof that they are not a danger or a flight risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our job is to read the statute” Roberts quipped. “But we can’t just write a different statute.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justice Samuel Alito suggested, “We could simply say the Ninth Circuit’s interpretation of the statute is wrong and remand [it back to the lower court] for further proceeding.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking outside the courthouse after the hearing, the ACLU’s Arulanantham said that the ruling the eight justices reach could have a profound effect on thousands of immigrants in California and the other Western states in the Ninth Circuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are thousands of people who have been released under these bond hearings,” he said, “who’ve returned to their families, who are out of prison, basically who are living their lives” while their cases proceed through immigration court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arulanantham said a reversal of the Ninth Circuit’s decision could allow the government to round those people up again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Supreme Court must rule on the Jennings v.

Rodriguez, deals with the rights of legal permanent residents who are subject to deportation because they’ve been convicted of crimes, and asylum seekers who have met the government’s initial criteria for protection from persecution. Both groups are subject to mandatory detention while they fight deportation in immigration court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are roughly 8,000 such detainees on any given day. They are among more than 400,000 immigrants detained by the Department of Homeland Security in the course of a year. Those numbers could increase if President-elect Donald Trump makes good on his pledge to deport millions of unauthorized immigrants and immigrants with criminal histories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2015 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, in San Francisco, upheld a lower court ruling that said that these detainees are entitled to hearing before an immigration judge every six months to consider them for release while their immigration cases proceed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ahilan Arulanantham, an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union, is representing the immigrants. He told the Supreme Court justices that some of his clients have spent years behind bars. He urged the justices to affirm that a bond hearing to consider release is a right under the Constitution’s due process clause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Some of the justices took issue with that approach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chief Justice John Roberts noted that the appeals court’s decision shifts the burden off of the immigrant to provide proof that they are not a danger or a flight risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our job is to read the statute” Roberts quipped. “But we can’t just write a different statute.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justice Samuel Alito suggested, “We could simply say the Ninth Circuit’s interpretation of the statute is wrong and remand [it back to the lower court] for further proceeding.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking outside the courthouse after the hearing, the ACLU’s Arulanantham said that the ruling the eight justices reach could have a profound effect on thousands of immigrants in California and the other Western states in the Ninth Circuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are thousands of people who have been released under these bond hearings,” he said, “who’ve returned to their families, who are out of prison, basically who are living their lives” while their cases proceed through immigration court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arulanantham said a reversal of the Ninth Circuit’s decision could allow the government to round those people up again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Supreme Court must rule on the Jennings v.

The appeals court also held that immigrants like Owino must be released unless the government can prove that they are a danger to public safety or a flight risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now the case has made its way up to the U.S. Supreme Court, which heard oral arguments Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/295533150\" params=\"auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"400\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Owino recalled the night he was released from Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, dropped off on a street corner in downtown San Diego, where he lived before and after his incarceration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was glad I was free,\" he said. \"The air was fresh.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Owino waited for friends to pick him up, he says he veered from ecstasy to paranoia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oh my God, I’m free,\" he said. \"I couldn’t believe it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Owino’s friends asked what he wanted to eat, he replied, “Some real meat!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So his friends cooked up pork chops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We stayed up all night talking, calling friends, family from Europe, from Kenya, eating the pork chops,” says Owino “I can’t express how I felt.

Years later, after Owino had become a permanent legal resident, he was convicted of armed robbery. He calls it a “mistake” he made when he was struggling with alcohol addiction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That crime landed Owino in state prison for three years. He says serving that time was hard, but not as hard as what followed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legal resident immigrants who commit certain crimes are subject to mandatory detention and deportation under federal law. So when Owino was released from state prison in 2006, he was handed over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement to be detained until he could be deported. But Owino challenged his removal order, setting off a years-long legal struggle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Extensive Use of Detention\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said conditions in ICE detention were far worse than prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They think because you’re a noncitizen you have no rights.

And 30,000 to 40,000 people are held in ICE custody on any given day. The government deports most of them within months, but others are locked up for a year or more -- sometimes many years.

And California is one of them, because of a 2013 law known as the Trust Act. It limits when California jails are allowed to cooperate with ICE, and lets them go farther than the state limits if they want.

"content": "\u003cp>Mitzia Martinez felt so shellshocked after the presidential election that the 19-year-old UC Berkeley student holed up in her apartment for days, away from her friends and her classes. Martinez needed to make sense of the massive changes her life could face under a Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her biggest concerns: losing the ability to support herself financially and, worse, once again feeling vulnerable to deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During his campaign, President-elect Donald Trump pledged to abolish Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA. The policy has allowed Martinez and more than 238,000 undocumented youth in California to work legally and be temporarily protected from deportation. One-third of the nation's DACA recipients live in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While some observers doubt that Trump will follow through on all of his campaign promises on immigration, they say his recent nomination of hard-line immigration restrictionists to key posts -- such as Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions as attorney general -- suggests that DACA could well be reversed. President Obama created the policy by executive action in 2012, and Trump could undo it on his first day at the White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/294097464\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The potential end of DACA is sending waves of fear among undocumented youth on college campuses and beyond. The policy benefits immigrants who arrived in the U.S. as children, and are currently in school or have a high school diploma, among other requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My whole life is based around DACA. I have employment, a Social Security number and health insurance because of DACA,\" said Martinez, a high school valedictorian in San Jose who earned a full scholarship to UC Berkeley. \"I don’t know how I’m going to see my life without it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martinez, who was born in Mexico, understood that the policy did not provide her with permanent legal residence in the U.S., where she has lived since she was 7. But three years ago she applied anyway, in hopes that the country was becoming more accepting of immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s like they gave us a little taste of liberty and freedom, and now they are taking it away,\" said Martinez, while sitting on a bench on UC Berkeley's Sproul Plaza. \"We'll have to adjust to the way that we were before, to living back in the shadows.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martinez says having the protection of DACA has allowed her to move about openly and finally feel included in the society of the country where she grew up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now she worries that in applying for deferred action, she and her 17-year-old brother exposed themselves to immigration authorities and have increased the risk that they could be deported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They know where I live, they know who our parents are, whether they are undocumented or not,\" Martinez said. \"The power of that information is insane.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uncertainty over how the Trump administration will use the DACA database of fingerprints and biographical information has led immigrant advocates across the country to halt their nationwide push encouraging undocumented youth to apply. Now they are giving the opposite message.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our recommendation now is that if they are applying for the first time, then maybe don’t do it. They’ve never flagged themselves,\" said Barbara Pinto, lead immigration attorney for Centro Legal de la Raza in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the election, Centro Legal has been flooded with questions from parents of DACA youth about what will happen to their children, said Pinto.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's a lot of fear, a lot of worry in the community,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzalo Ferrer, chairman of the Republican National Hispanic Assembly, doesn't expect the Trump administration to make DACA recipients deportation targets. Ferrer believes Trump’s priority is to remove immigrants with criminal backgrounds. Still, he agrees with the president-elect that DACA should be eliminated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The problem with the executive action is that it’s clearly unconstitutional. President Obama didn’t have the power to issue that executive action,\" said Ferrer, an attorney in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ferrer remains hopeful that there is still bipartisan support for creating a legal path for undocumented young people. But he says it needs to be done through Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, a handful of California Democrats in Congress, such as Rep. Judy Chu of Monterey Park, are calling for Obama to do more to protect DACA youth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We promised them security. Now they are facing a nightmare,\" Chu said in a statement. \"I call on the administration to consider all options to prevent the use of these names for deportation. ...

Martinez needed to make sense of the massive changes her life could face under a Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her biggest concerns: losing the ability to support herself financially and, worse, once again feeling vulnerable to deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During his campaign, President-elect Donald Trump pledged to abolish Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA. The policy has allowed Martinez and more than 238,000 undocumented youth in California to work legally and be temporarily protected from deportation. One-third of the nation's DACA recipients live in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While some observers doubt that Trump will follow through on all of his campaign promises on immigration, they say his recent nomination of hard-line immigration restrictionists to key posts -- such as Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions as attorney general -- suggests that DACA could well be reversed. President Obama created the policy by executive action in 2012, and Trump could undo it on his first day at the White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='100%' height='166'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/294097464&visual=true&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false'\n title='https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/294097464'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The potential end of DACA is sending waves of fear among undocumented youth on college campuses and beyond. The policy benefits immigrants who arrived in the U.S. as children, and are currently in school or have a high school diploma, among other requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I have employment, a Social Security number and health insurance because of DACA,\" said Martinez, a high school valedictorian in San Jose who earned a full scholarship to UC Berkeley. \"I don’t know how I’m going to see my life without it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martinez, who was born in Mexico, understood that the policy did not provide her with permanent legal residence in the U.S., where she has lived since she was 7. But three years ago she applied anyway, in hopes that the country was becoming more accepting of immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s like they gave us a little taste of liberty and freedom, and now they are taking it away,\" said Martinez, while sitting on a bench on UC Berkeley's Sproul Plaza. \"We'll have to adjust to the way that we were before, to living back in the shadows.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martinez says having the protection of DACA has allowed her to move about openly and finally feel included in the society of the country where she grew up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now she worries that in applying for deferred action, she and her 17-year-old brother exposed themselves to immigration authorities and have increased the risk that they could be deported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They know where I live, they know who our parents are, whether they are undocumented or not,\" Martinez said. \"The power of that information is insane.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uncertainty over how the Trump administration will use the DACA database of fingerprints and biographical information has led immigrant advocates across the country to halt their nationwide push encouraging undocumented youth to apply. Now they are giving the opposite message.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our recommendation now is that if they are applying for the first time, then maybe don’t do it. They’ve never flagged themselves,\" said Barbara Pinto, lead immigration attorney for Centro Legal de la Raza in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the election, Centro Legal has been flooded with questions from parents of DACA youth about what will happen to their children, said Pinto.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's a lot of fear, a lot of worry in the community,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzalo Ferrer, chairman of the Republican National Hispanic Assembly, doesn't expect the Trump administration to make DACA recipients deportation targets. Ferrer believes Trump’s priority is to remove immigrants with criminal backgrounds. Still, he agrees with the president-elect that DACA should be eliminated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The problem with the executive action is that it’s clearly unconstitutional. President Obama didn’t have the power to issue that executive action,\" said Ferrer, an attorney in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ferrer remains hopeful that there is still bipartisan support for creating a legal path for undocumented young people. But he says it needs to be done through Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, a handful of California Democrats in Congress, such as Rep. Judy Chu of Monterey Park, are calling for Obama to do more to protect DACA youth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We promised them security. Now they are facing a nightmare,\" Chu said in a statement. \"I call on the administration to consider all options to prevent the use of these names for deportation. ... We must do the right thing today or risk losing the trust of the vulnerable forever.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, California Reps. Zoe Lofgren, D-San Jose, and Lucille Roybal-Allard, D-Downey, and Luis Gutierrez (D-Illinois 4th District) sent a letter last Thursday to Obama encouraging him to exercise his constitutional authority to pardon the more than 740,000 DACA recipients nationwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Mitzia Martinez, the UC Berkeley pre-law student, is taking action herself.
