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.",

San Francisco’s immigration court has more than 18,000 cases awaiting a ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oftentimes, you can go to court and you can’t get anything done,” said David Gardner, an immigration attorney in Los Angeles. “There’s a tension between moving cases forward efficiently and fair and giving people due process rights.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later this summer, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will begin using \u003ca href=\"http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/s1-exercising-prosecutorial-discretion-individuals-who-came-to-us-as-children.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">greater prosecutorial discretion\u003c/a> in deciding which deportation cases to pursue\u003cstrong>.\u003c/strong> Specifically, the department will grant a two-year reprieve to illegal immigrants who are younger than 30 years old, entered the United States before turning 16, are enrolled in school or honorably discharged from the military, and have no felony convictions or repeat misdemeanor convictions. The reprieve doesn't offer a path to citizenship or permanent residency; those who qualify must seek an extension after two years. \u003c!--more-->The selective enforcement will allow an estimated 800,000 illegal immigrants to remain in the country and apply for temporary work permits. It also could remove the burden of thousands of deportation cases from the immigration courts' dockets. \u003c!--more-->However, there is no count of how many deportation cases might close due to the Obama administration’s policy change. Kathryn Mattingly, spokeswoman for the Executive Office for Immigration Review, said the office does not track cases by the new enforcement criteria announced June 15.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shiu-Ming Cheer, an attorney with the National Immigration Law Center, said she doubts the prosecutorial discretion will result in much change for illegal immigrants now facing deportation proceedings or for courts' backlogs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There might be some cases that are identified through that procedure,” Cheer said, “but it probably wouldn’t be more than a couple hundred in L.A.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv id=\"rpuCopySelection\">\n\u003cp>Separate from the Obama administration’s latest move, ICE has reviewed more than 200,000 pending deportations nationwide during the past seven months to locate and close low-priority cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of those, prosecutors have ended \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/372265-ice-case-by-case-review-statistics-04-24-12.html\" target=\"_blank\">357 deportation proceedings\u003c/a> involving young illegal immigrants who likely meet the Obama administration’s new criteria, according to ICE figures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This population of illegal immigrants is often called “dreamers,” as the intended beneficiaries of the federal DREAM Act, which would allow them to remain in the United States. The bill has repeatedly failed to pass through Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigrant advocates and their legislative allies have criticized the previous deportation case review as ineffective. “It’s a lot of work for not very much,” U.S. Rep. Zoe Lofgren, a San Jose Democrat, \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/07/us/politics/deportations-continue-despite-us-review-of-backlog.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all\" target=\"_blank\">told The New York Times\u003c/a> earlier this month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the immigration court backlog has continued to grow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since March, the Los Angeles and San Francisco court dockets have added more than 5,000 pending cases, data from the federal immigration review office and Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University shows.

San Francisco’s immigration court has more than 18,000 cases awaiting a ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oftentimes, you can go to court and you can’t get anything done,” said David Gardner, an immigration attorney in Los Angeles. “There’s a tension between moving cases forward efficiently and fair and giving people due process rights.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later this summer, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will begin using \u003ca href=\"http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/s1-exercising-prosecutorial-discretion-individuals-who-came-to-us-as-children.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">greater prosecutorial discretion\u003c/a> in deciding which deportation cases to pursue\u003cstrong>.\u003c/strong> Specifically, the department will grant a two-year reprieve to illegal immigrants who are younger than 30 years old, entered the United States before turning 16, are enrolled in school or honorably discharged from the military, and have no felony convictions or repeat misdemeanor convictions. The reprieve doesn't offer a path to citizenship or permanent residency; those who qualify must seek an extension after two years. \u003c!--more-->The selective enforcement will allow an estimated 800,000 illegal immigrants to remain in the country and apply for temporary work permits. It also could remove the burden of thousands of deportation cases from the immigration courts' dockets. \u003c!--more-->However, there is no count of how many deportation cases might close due to the Obama administration’s policy change. Kathryn Mattingly, spokeswoman for the Executive Office for Immigration Review, said the office does not track cases by the new enforcement criteria announced June 15.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shiu-Ming Cheer, an attorney with the National Immigration Law Center, said she doubts the prosecutorial discretion will result in much change for illegal immigrants now facing deportation proceedings or for courts' backlogs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There might be some cases that are identified through that procedure,” Cheer said, “but it probably wouldn’t be more than a couple hundred in L.A.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv id=\"rpuCopySelection\">\n\u003cp>Separate from the Obama administration’s latest move, ICE has reviewed more than 200,000 pending deportations nationwide during the past seven months to locate and close low-priority cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of those, prosecutors have ended \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/372265-ice-case-by-case-review-statistics-04-24-12.html\" target=\"_blank\">357 deportation proceedings\u003c/a> involving young illegal immigrants who likely meet the Obama administration’s new criteria, according to ICE figures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This population of illegal immigrants is often called “dreamers,” as the intended beneficiaries of the federal DREAM Act, which would allow them to remain in the United States. The bill has repeatedly failed to pass through Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigrant advocates and their legislative allies have criticized the previous deportation case review as ineffective. “It’s a lot of work for not very much,” U.S. Rep. Zoe Lofgren, a San Jose Democrat, \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/07/us/politics/deportations-continue-despite-us-review-of-backlog.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all\" target=\"_blank\">told The New York Times\u003c/a> earlier this month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the immigration court backlog has continued to grow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since March, the Los Angeles and San Francisco court dockets have added more than 5,000 pending cases, data from the federal immigration review office and Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University shows.

They also need to have lived here for five years, have a high school diploma, be in school or serve in the military. These are many of the same elements of the federal DREAM Act, which Congress did not pass.

The election-year initiative addresses a top priority of an influential Latino electorate that has been vocal in its opposition to administration deportation policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The policy change, announced Friday by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, will affect as many as 800,000 immigrants who have lived in fear of deportation. It also bypasses Congress and partially achieves the goals of the so-called DREAM Act, a long-sought but never enacted plan to establish a path toward citizenship for young people who came to the United States illegally but who have attended college or served in the military.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The extraordinary step comes one week before President Barack Obama plans to address the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials' annual conference in Orlando, Fla. Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney is scheduled to speak to the group on Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama plans to discuss the new policy Friday afternoon from the White House Rose Garden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the administration plan, illegal immigrants will be immune from deportation if they were brought to the United States before they turned 16 and are younger than 30, have been in the country for at least five continuous years, have no criminal history, graduated from a U.S. high school or earned a GED, or served in the military.
