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.",

Yesterday, however, Immigration and Customs Enforcement granted them a 30-day reprieve so it could review their case. But it took an intervention by a U.S. Senator -- Dick Durbin from Illinois -- to stall the process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the Rengifos' lawyer, Rhoda Wilkinson Domingo, Mr. Rengifo’s wife is not subject to an order of removal, and another son is a permanent resident. Wilkinson Domingo also sent out the following background information yesterday: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Mr. Rengifo and his family fled from Peru in 1993 after they were attacked and threatened by the Shining Path, a terrorist guerilla movement that now engages in highly dangerous narcotics trafficking. The Rengifo children were 15 and 6 years old, respectively, at the time. They have not left the United States since then.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp> \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My father and I never even packed,\" Rengifo, Jr. told KQED's Mina Kim yesterday. \"It's been the greatest miracle ever, that's ever happened to me. Even these 30 days gives us another chance of hope to live and just do what we need to do here, and that's live the American dream, and live as a family.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We've never been split apart, ever. For me and my dad to leave and to leave my mom here, it's taking part of my mom's heart. It's really devastating. I'm still in this state of mind where I am going to stay here. I'm putting everything in the hands of God, whatever's going to happen is going to happen. But I know that good things will happen to us, hopefully, since we are good people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's audio of Rengifo's reaction, which starts with his recounting of his appeal to ICE to reassess his case under the new federal guidelines that prioritize deportation of undocumented immigrants who pose a public safety risk, as opposed to those who meet certain mitigating criteria -- outlined in a Jun 17 \u003ca href=\"http://www.ice.gov/doclib/secure-communities/pdf/prosecutorial-discretion-memo.pdf\">memo\u003c/a> (pdf). Rengifo says an immigration officer told him the policy shift was \"not new news,\" and that deportations were continuing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/08/rengifos.mp3\">\u003cstrong>Audio: Arthur Rengifo, Jr. reacts to 3-day extension\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n[audio:http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/08/rengifos.mp3|titles=rengifos]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In that Jun 17 memo, under a header called \"Factors to Consider When Exercising Prosecutorial Discretion,\" ICE officials are directed to weigh some 20 considerations in deciding whether to apprehend, detain, or remove any of the 300,000 immigrants who currently face deportation. Such factors include education, age, health status, ties and contributions to the community, and family ties to legal residents. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, as reported in this \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/bay-area-news/ci_18790680?nclick_check=1\">Contra Costa Times article\u003c/a> about the Rengifos, the case-by-case reviews under the new policy have \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/top-stories/ci_18782669\">not yet begun\u003c/a>, as the process for assessment is still being worked out. However:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Bay Area immigration lawyers have heard of a few anecdotal cases of immigration agents or judges halting a deportation since the June memo, and all of those involved illegal immigrants who are students or same-sex married spouses.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Last week, a San Francisco judge \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/08/23/judge-closes-deportation-case-against-same-sex-couple-after-obama-immigration-shift-sf-couple-awaits/\">closed\u003c/a> a deportation case against a member of a same-sex couple from southern California. The judge’s decision came at the request of ICE. Two other same-sex couples, including one from Oakland, have also had their deportation orders \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_18765725\">rescinded\u003c/a>. All the cases involve men who married legal residents in states allowing same-sex marriage. Previously, this was not enough to shield an undocumented spouse from deportation, as it would in an opposite-sex marriage, because the Defense of Marriage Act prohibits federal recognition of same-sex unions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's an \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/08/immigration-enforcement-facts.pdf\">\u003cstrong>FAQ\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> on the policy shift recently posted by the Department of Homeland Security. Some important points, if they prove to be adhered to:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\n\u003cstrong>Will removal proceedings or removals be halted while the interagency working group completes its review?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No. DHS will continue to enforce immigration laws. ICE attorneys and agents, however, will be tasked to review each case prior to the expenditure of resources to determine whether it is a priority case as defined in the June 30, 2010 Civil Enforcement Priorities memorandum and the June 17, 2011 Prosecutorial Discretion memorandum. Removals will continue while the working group undertakes its review.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Can individuals affirmatively apply for an exercise of discretion through this process? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No. This process does not involve the creation of an affirmative application process, although, consistent with longstanding practice, individuals in removal proceedings and their representatives remain free to submit information relevant to their case to the appropriate ICE field offices or attorneys. Any attorney or representative who purports to be able to secure an individual relief through an affirmative application to ICE or DOJ as part of this process is engaged in a scam and should be reported to the relevant authorities at DOJ, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), or DHS. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When will the working group complete its review?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given the volume of cases involved, it will likely take the working group several months to complete its review of cases pending in immigration and federal court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Does the implementation of the process mean that only individuals with criminal convictions will be removed?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No. Many individuals who have violated civil immigration law but lack a criminal conviction are a DHS priority for removal from the United States. This process is designed to free up additional resources to process and remove high priority cases. DHS priorities include threats to public safety and national security, repeat violators of immigration law, recent illegal border entrants, and immigration fugitives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Should unlawfully present individuals who do not consider themselves high priority cases voluntarily surrender to ICE to avail themselves of this process?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No. Any individual who self surrenders due to a belief that they will benefit from an exercise of discretion is very likely to be placed in removal proceedings and runs a serious risk that they will be removed from the United States. Nothing in this process creates a right or an entitlement to any person regardless of their individual circumstances\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

But it took an intervention by a U.S. Senator -- Dick Durbin from Illinois -- to stall the process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the Rengifos' lawyer, Rhoda Wilkinson Domingo, Mr. Rengifo’s wife is not subject to an order of removal, and another son is a permanent resident. Wilkinson Domingo also sent out the following background information yesterday: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Mr. Rengifo and his family fled from Peru in 1993 after they were attacked and threatened by the Shining Path, a terrorist guerilla movement that now engages in highly dangerous narcotics trafficking.

For me and my dad to leave and to leave my mom here, it's taking part of my mom's heart. It's really devastating. I'm still in this state of mind where I am going to stay here. I'm putting everything in the hands of God, whatever's going to happen is going to happen.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In that Jun 17 memo, under a header called \"Factors to Consider When Exercising Prosecutorial Discretion,\" ICE officials are directed to weigh some 20 considerations in deciding whether to apprehend, detain, or remove any of the 300,000 immigrants who currently face deportation. Such factors include education, age, health status, ties and contributions to the community, and family ties to legal residents. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, as reported in this \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/bay-area-news/ci_18790680?nclick_check=1\">Contra Costa Times article\u003c/a> about the Rengifos, the case-by-case reviews under the new policy have \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/top-stories/ci_18782669\">not yet begun\u003c/a>, as the process for assessment is still being worked out. However:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Bay Area immigration lawyers have heard of a few anecdotal cases of immigration agents or judges halting a deportation since the June memo, and all of those involved illegal immigrants who are students or same-sex married spouses.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Last week, a San Francisco judge \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/08/23/judge-closes-deportation-case-against-same-sex-couple-after-obama-immigration-shift-sf-couple-awaits/\">closed\u003c/a> a deportation case against a member of a same-sex couple from southern California. The judge’s decision came at the request of ICE. Two other same-sex couples, including one from Oakland, have also had their deportation orders \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_18765725\">rescinded\u003c/a>. All the cases involve men who married legal residents in states allowing same-sex marriage. Previously, this was not enough to shield an undocumented spouse from deportation, as it would in an opposite-sex marriage, because the Defense of Marriage Act prohibits federal recognition of same-sex unions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's an \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/08/immigration-enforcement-facts.pdf\">\u003cstrong>FAQ\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> on the policy shift recently posted by the Department of Homeland Security. Some important points, if they prove to be adhered to:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\n\u003cstrong>Will removal proceedings or removals be halted while the interagency working group completes its review?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No. DHS will continue to enforce immigration laws. ICE attorneys and agents, however, will be tasked to review each case prior to the expenditure of resources to determine whether it is a priority case as defined in the June 30, 2010 Civil Enforcement Priorities memorandum and the June 17, 2011 Prosecutorial Discretion memorandum. Removals will continue while the working group undertakes its review.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Can individuals affirmatively apply for an exercise of discretion through this process? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No. This process does not involve the creation of an affirmative application process, although, consistent with longstanding practice, individuals in removal proceedings and their representatives remain free to submit information relevant to their case to the appropriate ICE field offices or attorneys. Any attorney or representative who purports to be able to secure an individual relief through an affirmative application to ICE or DOJ as part of this process is engaged in a scam and should be reported to the relevant authorities at DOJ, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), or DHS. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When will the working group complete its review?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given the volume of cases involved, it will likely take the working group several months to complete its review of cases pending in immigration and federal court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Does the implementation of the process mean that only individuals with criminal convictions will be removed?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No. Many individuals who have violated civil immigration law but lack a criminal conviction are a DHS priority for removal from the United States. This process is designed to free up additional resources to process and remove high priority cases. DHS priorities include threats to public safety and national security, repeat violators of immigration law, recent illegal border entrants, and immigration fugitives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Should unlawfully present individuals who do not consider themselves high priority cases voluntarily surrender to ICE to avail themselves of this process?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No. Any individual who self surrenders due to a belief that they will benefit from an exercise of discretion is very likely to be placed in removal proceedings and runs a serious risk that they will be removed from the United States. Nothing in this process creates a right or an entitlement to any person regardless of their individual circumstances\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
