"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

She is a single mother who has three children, ages 5, 6 and 9. The two youngest are U.S. citizens. Three months ago, Torres spent an evening out dancing and was arrested and charged after a man she rebuffed accused her of assaulting him with a glass bottle. On her fifth day in custody, she was transferred to federal immigration authorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At that moment, I felt like my world was falling apart,” she said in Spanish. “I didn’t know what was going to happen to my kids. I didn’t know what was going to happen to me. I was scared. From one night out, all of this happened.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because Torres was charged with a felony — assault with a deadly weapon — San Francisco sheriff's deputies held her for questioning by immigration officials. Charges against Torres were ultimately dropped. Immigration officials released her from custody but started deportation proceedings against her. Her next hearing is in 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was traumatic. I am scared,” Torres said. “Every time I see a police officer I’m scared. I don’t have a desire to leave, to go out and have a drink, to do anything.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Protecting 'Worst of the Worst'? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police Chief Suhr agrees that individuals like Torres shouldn’t be turned over to federal immigration officials. But he opposes a policy that would prohibit local law enforcement officials from turning over undocumented immigrants with violent histories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I actually think it does a disservice to the law-abiding, undocumented immigrant community that we seem stuck on protecting the worst of the worst,” Suhr said. “As chief of police, I don’t care if you are a citizen or not a citizen. If you are a convicted violent felon, sex offender or weapons possessor I don’t want you in San Francisco.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At today’s hearing, the board will consider the amendments sought by Suhr and Mayor Lee. But for now, the current measure has the support of enough supervisors to override any veto.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv>\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly\">\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F110978516&show_artwork=true&maxwidth=900\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"640\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly-clear\">\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"embedly-powered\" style=\"float: right\">\u003ca title=\"Powered by Embedly\" href=\"http://embed.ly?src=anywhere\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cimg src=\"//static.embed.ly/images/logos/embedly-powered-small-light.png\" alt=\"Embedly Powered\">\u003c/a>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"media-attribution\">\u003cspan>via \u003c/span>\u003ca class=\"media-attribution-link\" href=\"http://soundcloud.com\" target=\"_blank\">SoundCloud\u003c/a>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly-clear\">\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\n",

Last week, the Legislature sent Gov. Jerry Brown has \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/09/10/california-legislature-passes-trust-act\" target=\"_blank\">a bill\u003c/a> that would implement a similar policy statewide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco measure bars police from holding suspects for ICE if they're otherwise eligible for release from custody, either through posting bail, having charges dropped, being acquitted, or serving their sentence. The ordinance does not distinguish between those picked up for lower-level offenses and those taken into custody for felonies and those with a history of violent crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfbos.org/ftp/uploadedfiles/bdsupvrs/bosagendas/materials/bag091713_130764.pdf\">ordinance\u003c/a> has strong support at City Hall, including from District Attorney George Gascon. But Mayor Ed Lee and Police Chief Greg Suhr want it amended to give law enforcement some discretion to turn over immigrants with a violent history.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\"It's really about overall human rights and public safety.\"\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The proposal's supporters say Secure Communities erodes community trust, makes it harder for victims to report crimes and breaks up families. Supervisor John Avalos, the measure's sponsor, says, “It's really about overall human rights and public safety.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->“We feel that public safety is based on cooperation and trust between communities and law enforcement,” Avalos said. “If there is a fear of deportation based on that you’re going to make a phone call and you could get caught up in the deportation system, that puts a chilling effect on public safety.”\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Arrest Leads to Deportation Threat\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of the measure point to stories like that of Fatima Torres to underscore why San Francisco should stop holding immigrants at the request of federal immigration officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An undocumented immigrant, Torres moved to the United States from Mexico when she was 20. She is a single mother who has three children, ages 5, 6 and 9. The two youngest are U.S. citizens. Three months ago, Torres spent an evening out dancing and was arrested and charged after a man she rebuffed accused her of assaulting him with a glass bottle. On her fifth day in custody, she was transferred to federal immigration authorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At that moment, I felt like my world was falling apart,” she said in Spanish. “I didn’t know what was going to happen to my kids. I didn’t know what was going to happen to me. I was scared. From one night out, all of this happened.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because Torres was charged with a felony — assault with a deadly weapon — San Francisco sheriff's deputies held her for questioning by immigration officials. Charges against Torres were ultimately dropped. Immigration officials released her from custody but started deportation proceedings against her. Her next hearing is in 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was traumatic. I am scared,” Torres said. “Every time I see a police officer I’m scared. I don’t have a desire to leave, to go out and have a drink, to do anything.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Protecting 'Worst of the Worst'? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police Chief Suhr agrees that individuals like Torres shouldn’t be turned over to federal immigration officials. But he opposes a policy that would prohibit local law enforcement officials from turning over undocumented immigrants with violent histories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I actually think it does a disservice to the law-abiding, undocumented immigrant community that we seem stuck on protecting the worst of the worst,” Suhr said. “As chief of police, I don’t care if you are a citizen or not a citizen. If you are a convicted violent felon, sex offender or weapons possessor I don’t want you in San Francisco.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At today’s hearing, the board will consider the amendments sought by Suhr and Mayor Lee. But for now, the current measure has the support of enough supervisors to override any veto.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv>\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly\">\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F110978516&show_artwork=true&maxwidth=900\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"640\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly-clear\">\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"embedly-powered\" style=\"float: right\">\u003ca title=\"Powered by Embedly\" href=\"http://embed.ly?src=anywhere\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cimg src=\"//static.embed.ly/images/logos/embedly-powered-small-light.png\" alt=\"Embedly Powered\">\u003c/a>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"media-attribution\">\u003cspan>via \u003c/span>\u003ca class=\"media-attribution-link\" href=\"http://soundcloud.com\" target=\"_blank\">SoundCloud\u003c/a>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly-clear\">\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

(Rachael Marcus/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Stockton city officials built a freeway off-ramp just next to Little Manila. The neighborhood began to crumble. One by one, many of the SRO hotels were torn down. The building that housed Pablo Mabalon's diner was torn down in 1999, replaced by a McDonald's restaurant and a 76 gas station. Whatever the impetus, it's not an area most visitors would want to linger in today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Mabalon has big dreams for this neighborhood. She helped found the \u003ca href=\"http://www.littlemanila.org/\">Little Manila Foundation\u003c/a>, which fended off the demolition of three remaining buildings from the era. They put up street banners with photographs recalling the glory days. They got the area designated as a historic site. The Foundation hopes to restore those buildings, and set up a museum inside one of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why bother? Mabalon says Little Manila has stories to tell us, about Filipino history, California history and, ultimately, American history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/108026422\" params=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\n",

(Rachael Marcus/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Stockton city officials built a freeway off-ramp just next to Little Manila. The neighborhood began to crumble. One by one, many of the SRO hotels were torn down. The building that housed Pablo Mabalon's diner was torn down in 1999, replaced by a McDonald's restaurant and a 76 gas station. Whatever the impetus, it's not an area most visitors would want to linger in today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Mabalon has big dreams for this neighborhood. She helped found the \u003ca href=\"http://www.littlemanila.org/\">Little Manila Foundation\u003c/a>, which fended off the demolition of three remaining buildings from the era. They put up street banners with photographs recalling the glory days. They got the area designated as a historic site. The Foundation hopes to restore those buildings, and set up a museum inside one of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why bother? Mabalon says Little Manila has stories to tell us, about Filipino history, California history and, ultimately, American history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It would legalize millions of undocumented immigrants.\u003c/strong> The path to citizenship is a big deal for California because almost a quarter of the estimated 11 million people in the United States illegally live here. If the bill becomes law, they could be eligible to become “registered provisional immigrants,” assuming they don’t have a serious criminal record, can pass background checks and pay federal taxes — plus a $1000 fine. Then — if these folks stay out of trouble, learn English and civics, remain employed and earn a minimum income — after 10 years they can apply for lawful permanent residence, or a “green card.” After three years with a green card, they will have the option to apply for citizenship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a parallel, and shorter, path for “DREAMers,” the young people who were brought to this country before they turned 16.

Undocumented farm workers can also get on a shorter path to legal residence if they spend a few more years working in agriculture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some analysts believe that several million undocumented immigrants could fall off the path, though, and wind up staying in the shadows. In addition, the bill won’t let anyone here illegally get a green card until a set of enforcement provisions is in place: doubling the size of the Border Patrol, adding more fencing and technology along the border, and requiring an electronic system to verify the legal work eligibility of everyone who takes a new job.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2\u003c/strong>. \u003cstrong>It would put border enforcement on steroids.\u003c/strong> California is one of four states bordering Mexico and one of the places where the serious border build-up got started almost 20 years ago is around San Diego. Spending on border protection has more than doubled over the past decade. And illegal border crossings are at near-historic lows, due to both the difficulty of crossing and our still-struggling economy. This bill would put another $46 billion into fortifying the U.S.-Mexico border over the next 10 years, and nearly double the Border Patrol force to almost 40,000 agents. It would add more drones, sensors, radar, helicopters and other technology. And it would complete 700 miles of impassable “pedestrian” fencing, replacing about 350 miles of waist-high vehicle barriers. Those measures get mixed reviews in border communities, where many dislike uncontrolled immigration but have close ties with Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican Sen. Bob Corker, who co-wrote the “border surge” amendment, said it was “almost overkill.” But it earned the bill some extra Republican votes. The border security strategy must be implemented before any immigrant with provisional legal status can get a green card.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s worth noting that not all undocumented immigrants enter the country illegally; roughly a third come into the country on legal visas and overstay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3\u003c/strong>. \u003cstrong>It would make it easier for high-tech industries to hire people from abroad.\u003c/strong> California’s tech sector stands to get a big influx of foreign talent. Silicon Valley leaders lobbied hard for a range of measures in the Senate bill and they got what they were after. The bill could dramatically expand the number of H-1B temporary visas for skilled workers, from a current maximum of 80,000 to as many as 205,000. And it would speed the line to a green card for workers from countries such as India and China, who currently face a long wait. That’s because the bill would remove annual country caps for employment-based visas and substitute a first-come, first-served system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foreign students earning graduate degrees in science, math and technology at U.S. universities could get a green card under the Senate plan if they have a U.S. job offer. The bill also creates a brand new “start-up visa” that would offer green cards to foreign entrepreneurs who have raised capital from qualified U.S. investors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4\u003c/strong>. \u003cstrong>It would provide a fast-track legalization for agricultural workers.\u003c/strong> Agriculture, especially labor-intensive fruit and vegetable crops, are another big California industry. Out of the more than 1 million undocumented farm workers in the U.S., as many as 400,000 are in California and most could qualify. They would have to continue to work in agriculture for the next five years or so while in provisional legal status, and then they could apply for a green card. The deal was crafted by labor leaders and growers anxious for a more reliable, stable workforce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill would also create a new guest worker program for farm workers who could come in on a renewable three-year visa. Unlike the Bracero Program of the 1940s-‘60s, it allows the workers to change jobs if they are unhappy with an employer. This guest worker program, along with a temporary visa for low-skilled non-agricultural workers, is meant to provide a legal way for future foreign workers to come for jobs, rather than crossing the border illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. \u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>It would require every American worker to be screened through an electronic system when starting a new job. \u003c/strong>Within five years, all California employers – along with every other employer in the country – would have to use the federal system to check whether new hires are legally authorized to work in the United States. The system, known as E-Verify, grows out of the current requirement that new employees must show their bosses documents to prove they are either U.S. citizens or legal immigrants with work authorization. The current paper-based system has been in place since 1986 but it’s susceptible to fraud. The electronic system cross-checks workers through Social Security and immigration databases. Under the Senate plan, E-verify would be expanded from the 400,000 employers who use it now to all of the nation’s 7.3 million employers. Critics worry that errors in the databases will lead to workers being wrongly denied jobs. But Homeland Security officials say the error rate is low and that they can expand the system effectively. Mandatory E-verify must be up and running before undocumented immigrants in provisional status can gain green cards, under the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>One Thing the Senate Bill Will NOT Do\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senators decided \u003cem>not\u003c/em> to add language to the immigration bill that would offer immigration benefits to same-sex couples. The Democrats who favored the idea were persuaded that it would doom the bill with more conservative Senators. However Wednesday’s Supreme Court decision overturning the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) means that federal benefits – including immigration benefits – that the government offers heterosexual married couples must also go to gay and lesbian married couples. So it may soon be possible for U.S. citizens to petition for green cards for their same-sex spouses from other countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Oh, and one more thing…\u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>It’s not law yet.\u003c/strong> It’s just a big, fat, 1922-page bill that will have to get through the House of Representatives before it makes it to the desk of President Obama.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n",

This bill would put another $46 billion into fortifying the U.S.-Mexico border over the next 10 years, and nearly double the Border Patrol force to almost 40,000 agents. It would add more drones, sensors, radar, helicopters and other technology. And it would complete 700 miles of impassable “pedestrian” fencing, replacing about 350 miles of waist-high vehicle barriers. Those measures get mixed reviews in border communities, where many dislike uncontrolled immigration but have close ties with Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Bob Corker, who co-wrote the “border surge” amendment, said it was “almost overkill.” But it earned the bill some extra Republican votes. The border security strategy must be implemented before any immigrant with provisional legal status can get a green card.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s worth noting that not all undocumented immigrants enter the country illegally; roughly a third come into the country on legal visas and overstay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3\u003c/strong>. \u003cstrong>It would make it easier for high-tech industries to hire people from abroad.\u003c/strong> California’s tech sector stands to get a big influx of foreign talent. Silicon Valley leaders lobbied hard for a range of measures in the Senate bill and they got what they were after. The bill could dramatically expand the number of H-1B temporary visas for skilled workers, from a current maximum of 80,000 to as many as 205,000. And it would speed the line to a green card for workers from countries such as India and China, who currently face a long wait. That’s because the bill would remove annual country caps for employment-based visas and substitute a first-come, first-served system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foreign students earning graduate degrees in science, math and technology at U.S. universities could get a green card under the Senate plan if they have a U.S. job offer. The bill also creates a brand new “start-up visa” that would offer green cards to foreign entrepreneurs who have raised capital from qualified U.S. investors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4\u003c/strong>. \u003cstrong>It would provide a fast-track legalization for agricultural workers.\u003c/strong> Agriculture, especially labor-intensive fruit and vegetable crops, are another big California industry. Out of the more than 1 million undocumented farm workers in the U.S., as many as 400,000 are in California and most could qualify. They would have to continue to work in agriculture for the next five years or so while in provisional legal status, and then they could apply for a green card. The deal was crafted by labor leaders and growers anxious for a more reliable, stable workforce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill would also create a new guest worker program for farm workers who could come in on a renewable three-year visa. Unlike the Bracero Program of the 1940s-‘60s, it allows the workers to change jobs if they are unhappy with an employer. This guest worker program, along with a temporary visa for low-skilled non-agricultural workers, is meant to provide a legal way for future foreign workers to come for jobs, rather than crossing the border illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. \u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>It would require every American worker to be screened through an electronic system when starting a new job. \u003c/strong>Within five years, all California employers – along with every other employer in the country – would have to use the federal system to check whether new hires are legally authorized to work in the United States. The system, known as E-Verify, grows out of the current requirement that new employees must show their bosses documents to prove they are either U.S. citizens or legal immigrants with work authorization. The current paper-based system has been in place since 1986 but it’s susceptible to fraud. The electronic system cross-checks workers through Social Security and immigration databases. Under the Senate plan, E-verify would be expanded from the 400,000 employers who use it now to all of the nation’s 7.3 million employers. Critics worry that errors in the databases will lead to workers being wrongly denied jobs. But Homeland Security officials say the error rate is low and that they can expand the system effectively. Mandatory E-verify must be up and running before undocumented immigrants in provisional status can gain green cards, under the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>One Thing the Senate Bill Will NOT Do\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senators decided \u003cem>not\u003c/em> to add language to the immigration bill that would offer immigration benefits to same-sex couples. The Democrats who favored the idea were persuaded that it would doom the bill with more conservative Senators. However Wednesday’s Supreme Court decision overturning the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) means that federal benefits – including immigration benefits – that the government offers heterosexual married couples must also go to gay and lesbian married couples. So it may soon be possible for U.S. citizens to petition for green cards for their same-sex spouses from other countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Oh, and one more thing…\u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>It’s not law yet.\u003c/strong> It’s just a big, fat, 1922-page bill that will have to get through the House of Representatives before it makes it to the desk of President Obama.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
