Pero ninguna de las dos pudo nunca contarle a Jennifer la verdad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yesenia, cuyo padre la abandonó cuando tenia 4 años, dice que el padre biológico de Jennifer dejó a su madre antes que Jennifer naciera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Yo creo que se sentía muy sola mi madre”, explica Yesenia. “Llegó este señor y la trataba muy bien. Ella siempre buscó ese tipo de atención de los hombres”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Se quedó embarazada con Jennifer, pero el hombre le instó a que abortara.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ella se negó.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Entonces Jennifer se crió pensando que otro hombre era su padre. Con el tiempo, como los demás, él también las abandonó.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>El caso legal de Jennifer, sin embargo, depende de poder informarle al tribunal lo que ocurrió con su padre.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Como resultado, Yesenia llamó por teléfono a su madre hace unas semanas, y entre las dos le contaron a Jennifer la verdad. Yesenia comenta que su mamá estuvo con varios hombres durante su vida.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Me duele mucho”, admite Yesenia, el rostro empapado de lágrimas. “Ni mi padre ni el de ella supo nunca que teníamos problemas, o que si había qué comer. Nunca supieron nada”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jennifer sigue tratando de comprender lo que su madre le reveló.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[Mi mamá] nunca me había hablado de esto”, cuenta Jennifer. “Que mi papá no era mi padre … que fue algún hombre al que nunca conocí”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>El hombre que Jennifer pensaba era su padre era en realidad el padre de su hermano menor, pero Jennifer dice que “lo quería como mi papá”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En este momento, un número creciente de niños migrantes en los EE.UU. están en la misma posición que Jennifer – desenterrando las historias familiares en un esfuerzo por quedarse en los Estados Unidos legalmente.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unos seis mil jóvenes solicitaron el estatus especial para migrantes juveniles durante el año fiscal que terminó el 30 de septiembre. Esta cifra es tres veces mayor que la de cuatro años antes. Primero, deben probar que al menos uno de sus padres les dejó, los dejó al abandono o los abusó. Si esto lo pueden probar, pueden solicitar permanecer aquí.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los abogados de inmigración dicen que esto es más fácil que solicitar el asilo, en muchos casos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jennifer ahora está por dar su primer paso por este camino en el Tribunal Superior del condado de San Mateo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Las hermanas de dirigen por los corredores del tribunal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Están inquietas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Su abogado, Jennifer Horne, tiene ciertas dudas, las cuales guarda en secreto, en este momento. Le ha resultado difícil juntar toda la evidencia y la documentación necesarias de El Salvador para probar el caso de Jennifer. Y le tocó apresurarse por reunir materiales que el juez le pidió a última hora.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Antes de entrar al tribunal, Horne rápidamente repasa la estrategia que aplicará.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Claramente el juez no ha visto los documentos que acabo de presentar”, le explica Horne a Jennifer y a Yesenia. “Hablará mayormente conmigo, pero es posible que tenga alguna pregunta para ustedes”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Las hermanas están sentadas sobre un largo banco de madera, abrazándose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Se abre la puerta del tribunal, y las hermanas siguen a Horne para sentarse frente al podio del juez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>El juez del Tribunal Superior, Joseph Scott, abre el expediente de Jennifer, analiza la evidencia y mira directamente a la joven de 17 años.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>El juez Scott pregunta: “En tiempos recientes, ¿ha intentado alguien localizar al padre de Jennifer en El Salvador? ¿Se ha hecho intento alguno?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_146007\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/08/hands.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-146007\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/08/hands.jpg\" alt=\"Jennifer and Yesenia.

Although we are working diligently to expedite these reports being submitted to the District Attorney, we will not sacrifice a complete and thorough investigation for the sake of time. Although we do not expect this process to take the full year allowed by law, we cannot give a specific date in which these cases will be presented to the District Attorney’s Office.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>One person arrested Dec. 8, UC Berkeley senior Kyle Cameron, said he was detained in what he described as a police kettle — in which officers surround a group to contain it and sometimes make arrests. The detention took place at the Ross Dress for Less parking lot in Emeryville. Cameron said he had attended the protest largely to document it, as a photographer, and to bring protesters food and water. Cameron said he hopes not to be charged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shavontae Williams, a Mills College student and organizer with \u003ca href=\"http://www.bamn.com/\" target=\"_blank\">By Any Means Necessary\u003c/a>, which helped organize protests the December protests, was also arrested Dec. 8. She said she was detained for 16 hours, ostensibly for willfully obstructing a public place and for being a public nuisance. She said a police report has not been filed and that, as a result of her arrest, she missed classes during finals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One Berkeley City College student, who asked that her name not be used, was at the courthouse after being arrested in Berkeley on the night of Dec. 6. She said that after she was arrested on Telegraph Avenue and Bancroft Way for failing to disperse and resisting arrest around 10:30 p.m., she was kept in a bus with two other people until 2 or 3 a.m. She was then taken to Berkeley's jail and booked into a cell at 4 a.m. She was released at 8:30 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ronald Cruz, an attorney and BAMN organizer, says the group wants all charges against protesters dropped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said that it was wrong that officers involved in the killings of unarmed black men in Ferguson and New York City were not put under the “scrutiny of justice” while “peaceful protesters” may face charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So long as those two police officers are not charged, the community will stand up and demand justice,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cruz also says he thinks it's unlikely formal charges will ever be filed against demonstrators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They would be scared of creating a provocation by doing a mass prosecution,\" he said. \"It would look plainly ridiculous.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 100-plus-strong group left the court after about two hours.

This was an engagement of deadly force,\" Suhr said. \"If an officer is confronted with deadly force, especially by a person who plans to draw the officer’s fire, there’s not much we can do.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A man in the crowd said he was concerned that officers appear to have fired seven bullets that missed Hoffman and could have flown across Valencia Street.

And we in the Police Department, if you want that help, we can get it for you. That’s much more the preferred way we’d like to be used to help people in crisis, because this just creates so many other victims.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

That case set her lifelong career path in motion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was crazy,\" she recalled. \"It was colorful and bizarre.

People were having LSD flashbacks in the audience.

(Steven Cuevas/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Fortunately, she says, not all trials were as \"crazy.\" But, she adds, \"They were all colorful, and significant, and had something to say to America, which made them fascinating.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deutsch cemented her reputation with a detailed and a facts-only approach to journalism. But she also knew the importance of bringing the drama of the courtroom to life for readers and making them feel as if they were sitting right there alongside her. Deutsch took detailed notes using colored pens, underlining quotes she wanted to use, and gave both sides of the case equal weight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the saturated media coverage of high-profile court cases today, facts sometimes seem to get lost amid all the commentary. But this kind of blurring of the lines between fact-based journalism and opinion never crept into Deutsch's work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'Everyone has something to gain or lose in a trial, but the reporters don’t'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The O.J. Simpson trial was very controversial with a whole faction of the press who thought he was guilty. Even more so for the Michael Jackson trial,\" Deutsch said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I had no vested interest in this. I always said that of all the people in a courtroom, the only ones who have nothing to lose are the reporters. Everyone else, something major is going to happen in their lives as a result. The defendant could lose his life or his freedom, the lawyers will make or break their careers, the judge will become either a hero or be vilified. Everyone has something to gain or lose in a trial, but the reporters don’t. We are just the flies on a wall, the eyes and ears of the public there to reflect what happened.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As to the question of whether justice plays out differently for those involved in high-profile cases -- say those who may be rich and famous -- Deutsch says, perhaps. And not always for the better. Sometimes all that extra scrutiny works on behalf of the defendant, but sometimes it can work against him or her, she says. And if there is a robust bank account to subsidize top-notch lawyers well, Deutsch says \"that’s just capitalism at work.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'I finally am free to say what I thought'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked where Deutsch will turn for court coverage herself now that she's retired, Deutsch was uncertain. She said one of the reasons she is retiring is that newspapers no longer offer the kind of coverage she provided. They simply don't have enough space to cover trials gavel-to-gavel and assign a dedicated reporter unless it is a huge case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, as much as she hates to say it, Deutsch is not sure going forward if there will be great trial reporting, or trial reporting with the kind of depth she was able to provide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a long time since those early days when a young Linda Deutsch would race out of the courtroom to a pay phone and dictate her story to someone with flying fingers back at the AP news desk. She leaves her career at AP with her reputation for reporting only the facts intact. Now, she says, she plans to write a memoir.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I finally am free to say what I thought.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

(Steven Cuevas/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Fortunately, she says, not all trials were as \"crazy.\" But, she adds, \"They were all colorful, and significant, and had something to say to America, which made them fascinating.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deutsch cemented her reputation with a detailed and a facts-only approach to journalism. But she also knew the importance of bringing the drama of the courtroom to life for readers and making them feel as if they were sitting right there alongside her. Deutsch took detailed notes using colored pens, underlining quotes she wanted to use, and gave both sides of the case equal weight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the saturated media coverage of high-profile court cases today, facts sometimes seem to get lost amid all the commentary. But this kind of blurring of the lines between fact-based journalism and opinion never crept into Deutsch's work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'Everyone has something to gain or lose in a trial, but the reporters don’t'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The O.J. Simpson trial was very controversial with a whole faction of the press who thought he was guilty. Even more so for the Michael Jackson trial,\" Deutsch said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I had no vested interest in this. I always said that of all the people in a courtroom, the only ones who have nothing to lose are the reporters. Everyone else, something major is going to happen in their lives as a result. The defendant could lose his life or his freedom, the lawyers will make or break their careers, the judge will become either a hero or be vilified. Everyone has something to gain or lose in a trial, but the reporters don’t. We are just the flies on a wall, the eyes and ears of the public there to reflect what happened.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As to the question of whether justice plays out differently for those involved in high-profile cases -- say those who may be rich and famous -- Deutsch says, perhaps. And not always for the better. Sometimes all that extra scrutiny works on behalf of the defendant, but sometimes it can work against him or her, she says. And if there is a robust bank account to subsidize top-notch lawyers well, Deutsch says \"that’s just capitalism at work.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'I finally am free to say what I thought'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked where Deutsch will turn for court coverage herself now that she's retired, Deutsch was uncertain. She said one of the reasons she is retiring is that newspapers no longer offer the kind of coverage she provided. They simply don't have enough space to cover trials gavel-to-gavel and assign a dedicated reporter unless it is a huge case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, as much as she hates to say it, Deutsch is not sure going forward if there will be great trial reporting, or trial reporting with the kind of depth she was able to provide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a long time since those early days when a young Linda Deutsch would race out of the courtroom to a pay phone and dictate her story to someone with flying fingers back at the AP news desk. She leaves her career at AP with her reputation for reporting only the facts intact. Now, she says, she plans to write a memoir.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I finally am free to say what I thought.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Out of 260 classmates, only eight were African-American. And, she says, they were treated equally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We stood out because you could see us, but the atmosphere was comfortable and we were very welcome there,” said Pichon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once again she excelled — becoming a public defender, a commissioner and then a judge. Outgoing Presiding Superior Court judge Brian Walsh symbolically handed her the gavel at the judges’ holiday party in December.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Someone asked me if I was going to lose a lot of weight today and I thought, ‘Well, I know the gavel isn’t that heavy but I’m going to pass on a load here, a real load,’ ” said Walsh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is a heavy load and a tough job, assigning judges to cases they sometimes don’t want and moving cases through the courts efficiently when lawyers want to stall them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pichon will also manage the court’s budget and deal with state cuts that already have shut down \u003ca href=\"http://http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Santa-Clara-County-shutting-courthouses-5673071.php\">courtrooms from Morgan Hill to Palo Alto. \u003c/a>And there’s pressure to deal with the disproportionate number of African-American and Latino kids in juvenile hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we don’t get the proper rehabilitative services for young people, particularly young men of color, we’re going to create a system where we create adult criminals,” said Arriola.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10394472\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/12/photo3-e1420073986737.jpeg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10394472 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/12/photo3-e1420073986737-400x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Pichon (right) with classmates at Santa Clara University Law School.

Many of the nonviolent juveniles are put into rehabilitative programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She can make sure the funding is available, which is always tight at the court for such programs,” said Arriola. “She can make sure the courts can monitor and seek out new programs so we can continue to do better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pichon also believes the courts can do better reflecting diversity, so she mentors African-American law school students like Nnennaya Amuchie, who is ready to graduate. She wants to become a judge because of Pichon’s influence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think she lets her experiences dictate what her perception of the world is,” Amuchie said. “And I think it’s important for us not to be jaded by issues because she is a testament to change.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There have been changes. Still there are only eight African-Americans in Amuchie’s law school class — the same number as when Pichon was there. And more than three decades after police used to stop her brothers on the streets of San Jose, protests over the deaths of unarmed black men at the hands of police are rattling the nation.\u003c/p>\n\n",

When they bought a home, a number of the houses on the block immediately went up for sale. Coming from the South, Pichon expected California to be the land of golden racial equality. That was not the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And my brothers, on their way to the corner to the elementary school to play basketball, would be stopped by the police,” Pichon said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10394469\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/12/photo2.jpeg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-10394469\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/12/photo2-400x533.jpeg\" alt=\"Pichon graduated from Santa Clara University in 1972.

(Courtesy Pichon)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>As an undergraduate at Santa Clara University, she felt marginalized and dismissed by some of her professors who, she said, had low expectations of her as a math major.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that all changed when she went to law school at the same university. Out of 260 classmates, only eight were African-American. And, she says, they were treated equally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We stood out because you could see us, but the atmosphere was comfortable and we were very welcome there,” said Pichon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once again she excelled — becoming a public defender, a commissioner and then a judge. Outgoing Presiding Superior Court judge Brian Walsh symbolically handed her the gavel at the judges’ holiday party in December.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Someone asked me if I was going to lose a lot of weight today and I thought, ‘Well, I know the gavel isn’t that heavy but I’m going to pass on a load here, a real load,’ ” said Walsh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is a heavy load and a tough job, assigning judges to cases they sometimes don’t want and moving cases through the courts efficiently when lawyers want to stall them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pichon will also manage the court’s budget and deal with state cuts that already have shut down \u003ca href=\"http://http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Santa-Clara-County-shutting-courthouses-5673071.php\">courtrooms from Morgan Hill to Palo Alto. \u003c/a>And there’s pressure to deal with the disproportionate number of African-American and Latino kids in juvenile hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we don’t get the proper rehabilitative services for young people, particularly young men of color, we’re going to create a system where we create adult criminals,” said Arriola.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10394472\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/12/photo3-e1420073986737.jpeg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10394472 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/12/photo3-e1420073986737-400x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Pichon (right) with classmates at Santa Clara University Law School.

Many of the nonviolent juveniles are put into rehabilitative programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She can make sure the funding is available, which is always tight at the court for such programs,” said Arriola. “She can make sure the courts can monitor and seek out new programs so we can continue to do better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pichon also believes the courts can do better reflecting diversity, so she mentors African-American law school students like Nnennaya Amuchie, who is ready to graduate. She wants to become a judge because of Pichon’s influence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think she lets her experiences dictate what her perception of the world is,” Amuchie said. “And I think it’s important for us not to be jaded by issues because she is a testament to change.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There have been changes. Still there are only eight African-Americans in Amuchie’s law school class — the same number as when Pichon was there. And more than three decades after police used to stop her brothers on the streets of San Jose, protests over the deaths of unarmed black men at the hands of police are rattling the nation.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Portales’ students are among the first who will try.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In two sessions that last 2½ hours each, Portales covers speed limits, 3-point turns, how to hold the steering wheel and the danger of passing on a two-lane road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During a break in the class, one of the students explains why she wants to get her license.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m scared because I don’t have something legal here for identification,” says Monica, who asked to go by her first name only because she’s been driving without a license.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monica moved to East San Jose from Acapulco, Mexico, to support her two daughters back at home. And for the past 12 years, she says her work as a housekeeper means she drives a lot, every day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new license that Monica hopes to get isn’t going to look like an ordinary license. Republicans pushed to make sure it was clearly different.

Jerry Brown\u003c/a> signed, the new licenses will be distinctly different. The front will say: Federal Limits Apply. And the back will say: This card is not acceptable for official federal purposes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monica says that doesn’t bother her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Portales says a lot of undocumented immigrants haven’t decided whether to risk putting themselves on record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Many of them are concerned they’re going to get deported as soon as they register themselves,” he says. “They think they’re going to get deported and they’re afraid.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Portales says many plan to step forward regardless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are two ways undocumented immigrants can apply for their licenses: Get an appointment at any DMV office or show up at one of four giant new DMVs that have opened temporarily just for this. Three are in Southern California: in Granada Hills, Lompoc and Stanton. The fourth is in San Jose. All this new real estate and personnel are projected to cost $141 million over three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Applicants need to show that they do in fact \u003ca href=\"http://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/detail/pubs/newsrel/newsrel14/2014_70\" target=\"_blank\">live in the state and to provide some form of identification\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monica has her appointment set for next week, and she says it will be a big relief when she can finally get a license.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have your identification, you don’t have so much problem,” she says. “You feeling better if the police stop.
