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.",

"content": "\u003cp>After four years of former President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown, the Biden administration on Thursday announced new guidelines that are expected to sharply limit arrests and deportations carried out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the guidance, ICE agents and officers have been told to prioritize threats to national security and public safety when deciding whom to arrest, detain and deport.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE officials said the guidance is intended to help the agency allocate its limited resources to cases the public cares about most.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Like every law enforcement agency at the local, state, and federal level, we must prioritize our efforts to achieve the greatest security and safety impact,\" ICE acting Director Tae Johnson said in a statement. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The guidance to ICE agents is part of a broader effort by President Biden to roll back the previous administration's hard-line immigration policies. Also on Thursday, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/02/18/968989967/democrats-unveil-sweeping-immigration-bill\">congressional Democrats unveiled an immigration bill\u003c/a> – \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/inauguration-day-live-updates/2021/01/20/958626092/on-immigration-biden-goes-big-in-opening-bid-to-congress\">a plan that President Biden had proposed on his first day in office\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill includes a path to citizenship for the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States and a fast-track process for young \"Dreamer\" immigrants brought to the country illegally as children. The bill faces steep hurdles in a divided Congress. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Changes at ICE also face pushback – from outside the agency and within. Immigration hawks complain that the new guidance will prevent ICE agents and officers from doing their jobs – in essence, abolishing ICE without actually abolishing it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The men and women of ICE, they took an oath to enforce immigration laws,\" said Thomas Homan, who served as acting ICE director under former President Trump. \"It's unfortunate they can't do the job. ... And it's unfortunate that many criminals are going to be walking the streets of America because this administration simply thinks they're not important enough to take off the streets.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE is charged with enforcing the nation's immigration laws – including arresting and deporting people living in the country illegally. In many ways, its agents became the public face of Trump's immigration crackdown, spreading fear and confusion in immigrant communities. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new guidance also was greeted with criticism from some immigrant advocates. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Naureen Shah, senior advocacy and policy counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union, said in a statement that the Biden administration isn't going far enough to \"fully break from the harmful deportation policies of both the Trump and Obama presidencies.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shah said the guidance would lead to \"continued disproportionate deportations of Black and Brown immigrants, including Muslims\" and that it contradicts the Biden administration's pledge to make sure that people seeking asylum are treated with dignity. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new guidance directs ICE agents and officers to focus on non-citizens who recently crossed the border illegally, or who are deemed to be threats to national security or public safety. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The guidance defines a public safety threat as someone who has been convicted of an aggravated felony, such as murder and rape, or of actively participating in a criminal street gang. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Field officers have been instructed to seek preapproval from supervisors before making arrests of non-citizens convicted of other crimes, such as minor drug offenses, immigration offenses and driving under the influence. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In practice, that means ICE arrests would be limited largely to immigrants who have been convicted of felony offenses and are already detained in federal or state prisons. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's not unusual for enforcement priorities at ICE to change from administration to administration – nor is it unusual for the changes to be controversial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='ice']The Obama administration instructed ICE to prioritize criminals for removal. Obama then faced criticism from immigrant advocates who decried the dramatic rise in deportations under his watch, as well as immigration hard-liners who said he shouldn't have set any priorities that tied agents' hands. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Biden administration guidelines are more restrictive – and facing the same range of criticism. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Obama-era policies ... set a dangerous precedent for the non-enforcement of the immigration laws of the United States in the name of prioritizing scarce ICE resources,\" said Andrew Arthur, a former immigration judge who is now at the Center for Immigration Studies, a nonprofit in Washington that advocates for lower levels of immigration. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Biden administration's plan is \"much, much worse,\" Arthur \u003ca href=\"https://cis.org/Arthur/Biden-Limits-Immigration-Enforcement-Are-Much-Worse-Even-Obamas\">wrote in a blog post\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homan, the former acting director of ICE, predicted that the new guidance would hurt morale at the agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the union representing ICE agents has been silent on the new Biden guidance, the National ICE Council twice endorsed Trump for president and agents talked openly about feeling empowered during his administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly before the Trump administration ended, the union signed an unusual labor agreement with ICE. According to a whistleblower complaint, the deal would have given the union extraordinary power to \"indefinitely delay\" changes to immigration enforcement policies that it doesn't like. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Biden administration said this week it is moving to scrap the deal. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2021 NPR.

Also on Thursday, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/02/18/968989967/democrats-unveil-sweeping-immigration-bill\">congressional Democrats unveiled an immigration bill\u003c/a> – \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/inauguration-day-live-updates/2021/01/20/958626092/on-immigration-biden-goes-big-in-opening-bid-to-congress\">a plan that President Biden had proposed on his first day in office\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill includes a path to citizenship for the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States and a fast-track process for young \"Dreamer\" immigrants brought to the country illegally as children. The bill faces steep hurdles in a divided Congress. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Changes at ICE also face pushback – from outside the agency and within. Immigration hawks complain that the new guidance will prevent ICE agents and officers from doing their jobs – in essence, abolishing ICE without actually abolishing it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The men and women of ICE, they took an oath to enforce immigration laws,\" said Thomas Homan, who served as acting ICE director under former President Trump. \"It's unfortunate they can't do the job. ... And it's unfortunate that many criminals are going to be walking the streets of America because this administration simply thinks they're not important enough to take off the streets.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE is charged with enforcing the nation's immigration laws – including arresting and deporting people living in the country illegally. In many ways, its agents became the public face of Trump's immigration crackdown, spreading fear and confusion in immigrant communities. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new guidance also was greeted with criticism from some immigrant advocates. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The family lore became a constant soundtrack that, over time, receded to a kind of background noise — always heard, seldom absorbed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in 1990, as a master’s student at the University of Northern Colorado, Tonai actually visited the site just outside the town of Granada. He explored the remnants of building foundations and other landmarks for an independent study project in photography.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His father had described the exact location of the family barracks — Building 9L, Apartment B. Tonai approached a slight dip in what remained of the foundation, a subtle reminder of the doorway to another time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just stepping across that threshold proved a life-changing experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I did that,” recalls Tonai, 60, “the stories came flooding back.

Dingell Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act. The massive legislation included dozens of initiatives and effectively launched a study of the Amache site’s suitability. But months later, the gears ground to a halt: Most significantly, the COVID-19 crisis stifled the normal schedule of public comment and wreaked havoc on the prescribed timeline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Right now, it’s kind of in limbo,” Hopper says. “The way I’m looking at it, we’ve lost a year with the COVID deal, not being able to meet in person.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An already lengthy federal process — the study and recommendation alone have a three-year timeline — suddenly seemed to get nudged even further into the future. For Hopper, who has seen his work with Amache become an all-consuming passion, the prospect of handing the lion’s share of the responsibility for the site to the government experts sooner rather than later offers peace of mind — not to mention the chance for actual retirement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s something that not only has become a part of my life, but it’s on my mind just about every day — doesn’t matter what day,” Hopper, 57, says of Amache. “It’s always on my mind. It’s made me what I am, from an educational standpoint with these students. I want to make sure that the school continues to be involved as well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a time when rural Colorado struggles with declining population and attendant economic challenges, Amache offers restorative opportunities. The work of the Amache Preservation Society has already helped restore a valuable historic and cultural marker. And in combination with both the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site near Eads and a similar attraction at Bent’s Old Fort in La Junta — each less than an hour’s drive from Granada – it creates a historic triangle on the Eastern Plains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>National Park designation would only add to the attraction, Hopper figures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People would be a lot more aware,” he says. “Once they’re down here and tour all these sites, there are a lot of others. We’ve got the Santa Fe Trail, plus museums in Holly and Las Animas. We’re building up a decent historical area for people to come and see.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Amache, structures from barracks to the camp’s guard and water towers have been reconstituted on the grounds. Memorials have been constructed or restored. An original recreation center at the camp that had been moved to Granada’s city park was returned to its original foundation. A museum in town has slowly collected an impressive array of artifacts from the era.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People come from a long distance away to see Amache,” Hopper says. “That’s a help for the community, as well as people spending dollars and time in Granada. That’s the other thing: You become a National Park site, and it helps the community with more jobs and kind of solidifies that the community will stay.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>COVID-19-related delays in the federal study’s public engagement effort, which stalled last spring, could push that portion of the process to next spring, notes Jeremy Sweat, chief of planning and compliance for the National Park Service regional office in Lakewood. Some meetings scheduled to take place in person, including some on the West Coast to accommodate original internees and their families, had to be canceled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once a new NPS team has been assembled, he adds, some virtual meetings will be added to the schedule to receive public input. When that portion of the process is complete, the federal staffers will start analyzing the four key criteria that figure into the study recommendation to the Secretary of the Interior, who then forwards the report to Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congress isn’t bound by the findings, which are designed simply to inform lawmakers.

On average, about one in four studies results in a recommendation for inclusion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even with approval, the NPS notes, it can take as long as 10 years to get a new national park up and running.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, Amache is hoping to clear four hurdles of the site study:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Significance: Amache’s status as a National Historic Landmark already pretty well checks this box.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We typically still do some level of analysis to make sure nothing has changed, that there’s no new information,” Sweat says. “But in this case, it’s safe to say it’s nationally significant.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A couple of other factors also weigh in its favor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Ralph Carr’s welcoming the arrival of Japanese Americans, in stark contrast to many other reactions across the country and even sentiment within Colorado, bolsters the site with a unique set of historical circumstances. Additionally, Amache experienced much less conflict and violence than other incarceration sites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Suitability: This is where the process becomes even more detailed, as the focus turns to the site’s uniqueness and whether or not it’s represented or protected by other entities. Here, the study completes a comparative analysis to other sites — and among the 10 camps that were scattered across the interior U.S., a handful of others have already achieved federal recognition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sweat explains that the study looks at whether other sites tell the exact same story or have similar resources. But he emphasizes that the fact that there are other incarceration sites in other areas of the country in no way disqualifies Amache from consideration. The U.S. has many federally recognized sites that reference the same general historical narrative, such as the Civil War or Revolutionary War or even other Japanese American sites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As long as it’s demonstrated that the site has a unique history and resources, that doesn’t count against it,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feasibility: This portion of the study looks at whether the site is of sufficient size and appropriate configuration to allow the NPS to manage it at a reasonable cost. Sweat says that access is a key factor here — whether the site can be accessed safely by visitors, but also that it can be acquired as federal land.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Amache grounds are owned by the town of Granada, which Hopper says currently seems disposed to offer the land for a National Park site. But that can change with the political winds, which is another reason Hopper would like to see this process move quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With local elections, you never know,” he says. “Maybe down the road people say maybe we don’t want to donate the land now. That’s why I’d like to move this along. But it’s not going to move along anytime soon.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Need for NPS management: The question here is whether NPS management is the “clearly superior” approach to other options. Could a site continue under its current management or move to management by some other entity, whether state or federal, private or nonprofit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fact that Amache already benefits from the management of the Amache Preservation Society doesn’t necessarily mean that this is the optimal approach — and won’t count against the site in the study. [aside tag=\"internment, japanese\" label=\"More Related Stories\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s definitely not a disqualifier that there’s an existing organization,” Sweat says. “Most that are considered for inclusion in the Park Service usually have a managing entity. The real question is whether it’s necessary for the federal government and Park Service to manage, or does it receive adequate protection from the existing organization?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hopper feels that National Park designation would be optimal, though if the federal government were to disagree he would probably pursue other avenues, such as the creation of a state park on the site. But he has looked hard at all the NPS criteria and, by his calculation, Amache more than measures up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I thought we were a good fit on all of them,” he says. “Amache is nationally significant, and we’d be the furthest east of all the other National Park camps. We’re right on Highway 50, a coast-to-coast highway that’s well traveled. And Amache has a uniqueness about it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Maintenance isn’t easy\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The site can be a handful for the students to maintain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hopper has nine students participating this year, and their time has been consumed re-staining the guard tower, mowing, trimming trees, conducting tours and working at the museum. They also typically give presentations about the camp to schools in Colorado, Kansas and Oklahoma. Every other year — at least before COVID — students also visited Japan and stayed with host families to learn more about the culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A current project has featured students helping to erect a replica of a historic kiosk that displayed the names of all the internees from Amache who served in the U.S. military.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re talking around a thousand names — plus a Medal of Honor recipient, and of course the 31 who died fighting for the United States,” Hopper says. “I’ve got students filing names correctly so we can get them to a company to manufacture panels for us. I used to be a roofer, so I built the roof myself.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it’s finished, the kiosk will greet visitors at the main gate, with a series of flagpoles behind it flying the American flag, Colorado state flag, the flag for the 442nd Infantry Regiment that included almost entirely soldiers of Japanese American ancestry and a yet-to-be designed flag representing Amache.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Then we’ll light it up so people will understand that the people at Amache fought for the United States,” Hopper says. “So many people don’t understand that. You wouldn’t believe it. We still have people saying they were POWs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, if the study process moves Amache to the next stage, a member of Congress could introduce a bill to authorize the creation of a new National Park. That would then need to pass in both the House and Senate and be signed into law by the president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s the outcome that would bring Hopper a sense of completion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I retire, I want to feel good about it,” he says. “I want to walk away and let the next generation take it on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that’s where Tanner Grasmick comes in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 26-year-old social studies teacher grew up around Granada and, in his senior year, worked at Amache fixing signs, doing restoration, giving tours and then traveling to spread the word around the region. He even visited Japan, where he met a host family with whom he remains in touch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His dedication to Amache now has the familiar echo of Hopper’s as he works the dark history of the camp into his own teaching at Granada High School. That’s why Hopper already has tagged him as his successor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether the National Park Service takes control of the site or not, there will always be a role for the area kids — even if it’s just managing the museum, which would remain a separate, local entity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grasmick feels like he’s up for the task of following in his teacher’s footsteps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve met countless people from pilgrimages to Amache, and they’re such great people that I’d love to continue on with what Mr. Hopper has done and keep it going for them, too,” he says. “I’d definitely like to do it for a lifetime commitment.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

The family lore became a constant soundtrack that, over time, receded to a kind of background noise — always heard, seldom absorbed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in 1990, as a master’s student at the University of Northern Colorado, Tonai actually visited the site just outside the town of Granada. He explored the remnants of building foundations and other landmarks for an independent study project in photography.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His father had described the exact location of the family barracks — Building 9L, Apartment B.

We’re right on Highway 50, a coast-to-coast highway that’s well traveled. And Amache has a uniqueness about it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Maintenance isn’t easy\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The site can be a handful for the students to maintain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hopper has nine students participating this year, and their time has been consumed re-staining the guard tower, mowing, trimming trees, conducting tours and working at the museum. They also typically give presentations about the camp to schools in Colorado, Kansas and Oklahoma. Every other year — at least before COVID — students also visited Japan and stayed with host families to learn more about the culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A current project has featured students helping to erect a replica of a historic kiosk that displayed the names of all the internees from Amache who served in the U.S. military.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re talking around a thousand names — plus a Medal of Honor recipient, and of course the 31 who died fighting for the United States,” Hopper says. “I’ve got students filing names correctly so we can get them to a company to manufacture panels for us. I used to be a roofer, so I built the roof myself.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it’s finished, the kiosk will greet visitors at the main gate, with a series of flagpoles behind it flying the American flag, Colorado state flag, the flag for the 442nd Infantry Regiment that included almost entirely soldiers of Japanese American ancestry and a yet-to-be designed flag representing Amache.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Then we’ll light it up so people will understand that the people at Amache fought for the United States,” Hopper says. “So many people don’t understand that. You wouldn’t believe it. We still have people saying they were POWs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, if the study process moves Amache to the next stage, a member of Congress could introduce a bill to authorize the creation of a new National Park. That would then need to pass in both the House and Senate and be signed into law by the president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s the outcome that would bring Hopper a sense of completion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I retire, I want to feel good about it,” he says. “I want to walk away and let the next generation take it on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that’s where Tanner Grasmick comes in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 26-year-old social studies teacher grew up around Granada and, in his senior year, worked at Amache fixing signs, doing restoration, giving tours and then traveling to spread the word around the region. He even visited Japan, where he met a host family with whom he remains in touch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His dedication to Amache now has the familiar echo of Hopper’s as he works the dark history of the camp into his own teaching at Granada High School. That’s why Hopper already has tagged him as his successor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether the National Park Service takes control of the site or not, there will always be a role for the area kids — even if it’s just managing the museum, which would remain a separate, local entity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grasmick feels like he’s up for the task of following in his teacher’s footsteps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Last year, Trump expanded the restrictions to include some citizens from six mostly African countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mohammed Albarak, a Yemeni American man who works at his father’s corner store in San Francisco, is another U.S. citizen whose family was affected by the ban. Albarak said he didn’t even bother applying to bring over his wife from Yemen until recently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Since the travel ban was there, I knew I would have to spend so much time on getting nowhere,” said Albarak, 26, referring to the difficulty of obtaining a waiver, something reserved for people who could prove they suffered “undue hardship.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Albarak returned to Yemen in 2018 for his wedding. Last September, he came back to the U.S. to apply for his wife’s visa — and to vote for Biden, in hopes he would end the travel ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Albarak said he believes his family now has a better chance of reuniting in the U.S, though he expects the application to take more than seven months.

The years-long struggle to get his dad a visa has taken a toll, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can definitely see some depression, anxiety and the feel of hopelessness in my father,” Deroee said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"immigration\"]Deroee recently flew to Turkey to accompany his dad to a medical exam at the U.S. Embassy. The exam is a required part of the visa application, but it couldn’t be done in Tehran, since the U.S. has no embassy in Iran.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He hopes this is the last step his father must complete for an application that began in 2015, when Deroee’s sister requested visas for both of their parents. U.S. officials granted his mother's visa the following year, but required his father to undergo additional screening. Before that was completed, Trump imposed the travel ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eventually, the family won a waiver to the ban, but then faced another barrier: a Trump proclamation that suspended certain visas to protect American jobs during the pandemic. Though that is still in effect, Deroee’s family succeeded in circumventing it after they joined a successful lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I look back at what we’ve been through, I don’t think it’s imaginable for whoever has not been through that process,” said Deroee. “All of us have been in this sense of suspense, of, ‘What’s going to happen next?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deroee said his father, who was 77 when the visa process started, has gone through several rounds of background checks, each of which can take months to complete. He hopes Biden’s administration makes that vetting process less onerous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden’s proclamation revoking the travel ban also orders the State and Homeland Security departments to recommend ways to improve the screening of people who seek entry into the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I understand it’s a necessary process, but it needs to be more efficient,” Deroee said. “The time and energy of these staff in government can be used in better ways, and they are being paid from our tax money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

The exam is a required part of the visa application, but it couldn’t be done in Tehran, since the U.S. has no embassy in Iran.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He hopes this is the last step his father must complete for an application that began in 2015, when Deroee’s sister requested visas for both of their parents. U.S. officials granted his mother's visa the following year, but required his father to undergo additional screening. Before that was completed, Trump imposed the travel ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eventually, the family won a waiver to the ban, but then faced another barrier: a Trump proclamation that suspended certain visas to protect American jobs during the pandemic. Though that is still in effect, Deroee’s family succeeded in circumventing it after they joined a successful lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I look back at what we’ve been through, I don’t think it’s imaginable for whoever has not been through that process,” said Deroee. “All of us have been in this sense of suspense, of, ‘What’s going to happen next?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deroee said his father, who was 77 when the visa process started, has gone through several rounds of background checks, each of which can take months to complete. He hopes Biden’s administration makes that vetting process less onerous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden’s proclamation revoking the travel ban also orders the State and Homeland Security departments to recommend ways to improve the screening of people who seek entry into the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I understand it’s a necessary process, but it needs to be more efficient,” Deroee said. “The time and energy of these staff in government can be used in better ways, and they are being paid from our tax money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I’m not making new law — I’m eliminating bad policy,” Biden told reporters in the Oval Office before signing three actions to begin to roll back former President Donald Trump’s hard-line immigration measures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the orders creates a task force to find ways to reunite children in the U.S. with their parents who have been deported without them — something Biden said was a “moral and national shame.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The job is made challenging by a lack of records.

So they don’t have any reason to believe the U.S. government is going to do anything to help them.’[/pullquote]The task force will issue a report on its progress in 120 days, and every 60 days thereafter, White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But advocates said urgent action is needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we need now is an immediate commitment to specific remedies, including reunification in the U.S., permanent legal status, and restitution for all of the 5,500-plus families separated by the Trump administration,” said the ACLU’s Lee Gelernt, who fought the issue in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Anything short of that will be extremely troubling given that the U.S. government engaged in deliberate child abuse,” Gelernt said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials who previewed the executive actions to reporters said change won’t happen overnight. In fact, more actions are almost certain to follow. “It takes time to review everything, so we are starting with these right now, but that doesn’t mean it’s the end of it,” one of the officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Confronting a Deep Lack of Trust\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Cathleen Caron, founder and director of Justice in Motion, a U.S.-based nonprofit working to reunify separated families, emphasized how important it is that Biden’s task force plans to work with representatives of families who were separated from their children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said many of those families have difficulty trusting people from the United States — and especially the government — after everything that has happened to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They were deeply, deeply scarred by having their children taken away,” she said. “So they don’t have any reason to believe the U.S. government is going to do anything to help them.

They need to be at the center of this so the families aren’t unintentionally traumatized [and] hurt again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As to one possible avenue for beginning to rebuild trust with separated families? University of San Francisco law and migration studies Professor Bill Hing suggested offering visas to parents who were deported to return to the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve damaged them. And there are visas in our law already, for example, [for] victims of crime, victims of domestic violence… Well, why not a visa for someone who has been victimized by the United States government?” Hing said. “That might add some incentives. And if you couple that with most likely much needed mental health counseling, regular health counseling, of course, they all need that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='family-separations']\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Restoring Asylum\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>A second order Biden signed Tuesday looks at how to address the surge of migrants seeking asylum in the U.S. in recent years and will look at how to replace the Migrant Protection Protocols program — what Trump referred to as “Remain in Mexico.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden suspended that program on his first day in office. He has vowed to help countries in Central America address the underlying causes of migration. But the administration wants to restore the asylum system, officials said — and do something to help people stuck in camps at the border. The details of how that will happen are not yet clear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to put in place an immigration process here that is humane, that is moral, that considers applications for refugees, applications for people to come into this country at the border in a way that treat people as human beings. That’s going to take some time. It’s not going to happen overnight,” Psaki told reporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The third order requires agencies to do a “top-to-bottom review of recent regulations, policies and guidance that have set up barriers to our legal immigration system.” The first one to go: Trump’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/08/12/748328652/trump-administration-rule-would-penalize-immigrants-for-using-benefits\">“public charge” rule\u003c/a>, which prevented immigrants from getting permanent resident or “green card” status if they had or were likely to require public benefits such as housing subsidies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocacy groups said ending the public charge rule would help immigrants struggling with health care and food insecurity amid the COVID-19 crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new administration is \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/12/13/944791054/on-immigration-activists-demands-may-exceed-biden-realities\">under pressure from immigration activists\u003c/a> who are worried that reforms will stall as Biden rushes to deal with the response to the health and economic crises caused by the COVID-19 pandemic — as well as climate change and racial equity priorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden sent a \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/inauguration-day-live-updates/2021/01/20/958626092/on-immigration-biden-goes-big-in-opening-bid-to-congress\">sweeping immigration legislative proposal\u003c/a> to Congress the day he was sworn into office, but it’s unclear how quickly the plan may be considered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story includes reporting from NPR’s Franco Ordoñez and Joel Rose, and KQED’s Michelle Wiley. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

He has vowed to help countries in Central America address the underlying causes of migration. But the administration wants to restore the asylum system, officials said — and do something to help people stuck in camps at the border. The details of how that will happen are not yet clear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to put in place an immigration process here that is humane, that is moral, that considers applications for refugees, applications for people to come into this country at the border in a way that treat people as human beings. That’s going to take some time. It’s not going to happen overnight,” Psaki told reporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The third order requires agencies to do a “top-to-bottom review of recent regulations, policies and guidance that have set up barriers to our legal immigration system.” The first one to go: Trump’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/08/12/748328652/trump-administration-rule-would-penalize-immigrants-for-using-benefits\">“public charge” rule\u003c/a>, which prevented immigrants from getting permanent resident or “green card” status if they had or were likely to require public benefits such as housing subsidies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocacy groups said ending the public charge rule would help immigrants struggling with health care and food insecurity amid the COVID-19 crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new administration is \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/12/13/944791054/on-immigration-activists-demands-may-exceed-biden-realities\">under pressure from immigration activists\u003c/a> who are worried that reforms will stall as Biden rushes to deal with the response to the health and economic crises caused by the COVID-19 pandemic — as well as climate change and racial equity priorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden sent a \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/inauguration-day-live-updates/2021/01/20/958626092/on-immigration-biden-goes-big-in-opening-bid-to-congress\">sweeping immigration legislative proposal\u003c/a> to Congress the day he was sworn into office, but it’s unclear how quickly the plan may be considered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story includes reporting from NPR’s Franco Ordoñez and Joel Rose, and KQED’s Michelle Wiley. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
