Horsetail Fall itself, a small waterfall that usually only flows during winter, needs to actually have water in it. It's this water that glows orange when it's lit from behind by the setting sun. The firefall also requires a clear sky, because any haze or cloudiness affects the quality of the illusion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/visualdavid/status/1362471683567742976\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2020, the hoped-for firefall actually \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/travel/story/2020-02-13/yosemites-natural-firefall-may-not-glow-this-year\">failed to fully materialize\u003c/a> because of imperfect conditions. On Feb. 11, the National Park Service warned of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kcra.com/article/firefall-yosemite-valley-horsetail-fall-no-water-flow/30882971#\">\"little to no water\"\u003c/a> in Horsetail Fall ahead of the projected 2021 firefall, although that particular alert is no longer visible on \u003ca href=\"https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/horsetailfall.htm\">Yosemite's firefall webpage\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you're thinking of trying your luck, keep your eye on \u003ca href=\"https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/conditions.htm\">park conditions on Yosemite's website\u003c/a> and watch the weather forecast. And if conditions \u003cem>aren't\u003c/em> perfect to see a Yosemite firefall this year, at least there's plenty of other natural wonders to witness in Yosemite National Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to \u003ca href=\"#restrictions\">Yosemite's own restrictions within the park\u003c/a>, remember that the state of California's current COVID-19 travel recommendations ask that Californians \"\u003ca href=\"https://covid19.ca.gov/travel/\">not travel more than 120 miles from their home\u003c/a> for non-essential purposes such as pleasure or recreation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you do travel, the state asks that you take appropriate COVID-19 safety precautions, including wearing a face covering, maintaining social distance of 6 feet from people who aren't in your household and frequent hand-washing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11861072\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1966px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11861072\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Stacy-Yosemite2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1966\" height=\"1312\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Stacy-Yosemite2.jpg 1966w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Stacy-Yosemite2-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Stacy-Yosemite2-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Stacy-Yosemite2-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Stacy-Yosemite2-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Stacy-Yosemite2-1920x1281.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1966px) 100vw, 1966px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yosemite's \"firefall\" in action this year \u003ccite>(Stacy Brand)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Making a Reservation for Yosemite Firefall 2021\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>You can make a Yosemite National Park day reservation for $35 per car (National Park pass holders only pay a $2 reservation fee) through \u003ca id=\"https://www.recreation.gov/timed-entry/10086745|\" href=\"https://www.recreation.gov/timed-entry/10086745\">Recreation.gov\u003c/a>.

Horsetail Fall itself, a small waterfall that usually only flows during winter, needs to actually have water in it. It's this water that glows orange when it's lit from behind by the setting sun. The firefall also requires a clear sky, because any haze or cloudiness affects the quality of the illusion.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Gavin Newsom, Senate leader Toni G. Atkins and Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon today announced $600 one-time payments to households receiving the state’s earned income tax credit, along with an extra $600 for undocumented taxpayers earning less than $75,000 who were ineligible for previous federal stimulus payments and other assistance for low-income residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deal is a compromise version of Newsom’s \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/california-divide/2021/01/newsom-wants-extra-600-stimulus-for-low-wage-californians/\">Golden State Stimulus\u003c/a> package and would help an estimated 5.7 million Californians. It now needs formal approval in the state Legislature as part of a \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/2021/02/17/governor-newsom-legislative-leaders-announce-immediate-action-agreement-for-relief-to-californians-experiencing-pandemic-hardship/\">$9.6 billion California economic stimulus package\u003c/a> aimed at helping workers and small businesses. A vote could come as soon as Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People are hungry and hurting,” Atkins, a San Diego Democrat, said in a statement. “I’m proud we were able to come together to get Californians some needed relief.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Senate leader Toni G. Atkins']'People are hungry and hurting ... I’m proud we were able to come together to get Californians some needed relief.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under Newsom’s original $2.4 billion proposal, California would have sent $600 payments to the families of approximately 4 million workers with annual incomes below $30,000, including some undocumented workers. But some advocates and lawmakers argued that the money would be better spent on filling gaps in federal relief, rather than trying to jumpstart the economy. Instead, they pushed for two alternatives that would send much larger cash payments payments to California’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/publication/undocumented-immigrants-in-california/\">nearly one in 10 workers\u003c/a> who are undocumented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today’s $3.8 billion Golden State Stimulus deal took those concerns into account. California will now send $600 tax rebates out to 3.8 million workers who made less than $30,000 last year. On top of that, an estimated 575,000 undocumented workers who make up to $75,000 a year will get an extra $600, in some cases bringing their total aid to $1,200.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grants of $600 will also go out to 405,000 very low-income families with children enrolled in CalWorks, as well as 1.2 million elderly, blind and disabled recipients of Supplemental Security Income or the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdss.ca.gov/capi\">state’s Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Sending Out More Cash\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>California’s coffers have grown since Newsom’s January proposal, likely increasing lawmakers’ appetite to send out more cash. \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/GavinNewsom/status/1357089574288117760?s=20\">The state now expects\u003c/a> $10.3 billion more in revenue than was projected in January, \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/california-divide/2021/01/california-budget-depends-on-staggering-wealth-gap/\">driven by the pandemic gains of the state’s wealthiest residents\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sending thousands in relief to undocumented immigrants would be a political nonstarter in most other parts of the country. But not in California, which has used its growing Democratic super majority of legislators — \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/california-legislature/2021/01/how-diverse-california-legislature/\">of which one in four are Latino\u003c/a> — to break economic barriers for those without legal status, granting them driver’s licenses, sending them low-income tax refunds and expanding health care for undocumented children and young adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think about my community and the 2 million people across the state who have been left out of any type of assistance,” said Assembly Member Wendy Carrillo, a Democrat from Los Angeles who was formally undocumented herself, in a hearing on the proposal. [ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Ineligible For Federal Aid\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Undocumented Californians, many who work in industries ravaged both by pandemic closures and the coronavirus itself, don’t qualify for federal stimulus payments and unemployment benefits. They are also largely ineligible for other safety net benefits, like food stamps. Newsom created a program to send $500 to undocumented immigrants last spring, but there was only enough money for about 150,000 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the summer, Newsom also created Housing for the Harvest to provide hotel rooms for farmworkers who can’t safely quarantine at home. But as of late January, \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/california-divide/2020/12/why-few-farmworkers-isolate-in-californias-free-covid-19-hotel-rooms/\">just 119 rooms had been reserved\u003c/a>. Earlier today Newsom acknowledged that the program has been “underutilized.” The early action deal doubles down on the program, investing $24 million in financial assistance and services for farmworkers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s stimulus will act like a boost to the California’s Earned Income Tax Credit, which is already available to undocumented workers who file taxes with an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, thanks to a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/california-divide/2020/09/newsom-weighs-pandemic-relief-for-undocumented-immigrants/\">new law passed last year\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During legislative hearings, the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office recommended sending \u003ca href=\"https://abgt.assembly.ca.gov/sites/abgt.assembly.ca.gov/files/Feb%202%20Sub%204%20LAO%20The-2021-22-Budget-Golden-State-Stimulus-012221.pdf\">$1,800 payments\u003c/a> just to the low-income ITIN filers, cutting the plan’s price tag to under $1 billion. Then distribute the remaining funds to the approximately half of undocumented workers who don’t have ITINS or other very low-income Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Target Aid To Undocumented\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Fiscal and policy analyst Chas Alamo said Newsom’s $2.4 billion proposal was too small to stimulate California’s $3.1 trillion economy. By contrast, he noted Californians received about $4 billion in unemployment benefits each week during 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The LAO alternative had gained support from a group of 17 Assembly Democrats. [aside tag=\"immigration\" label=\"more coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We must continue to work together to address the void created by years of inaction by the federal government that has left our undocumented worker population in the cold, without any viable economic support to survive this pandemic,” the lawmakers wrote in a letter to the budget committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, a coalition of pro-immigrant and anti-poverty advocacy groups had called for lawmakers to build immigrant relief on top of Newsom’s original proposal: For most workers, they wanted to keep the $600 tax credits. For households making less than $50,000 last year that file taxes with ITINS, they asked California to send $1,200 per parent and child.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The compromise with Newsom was less. Advocates applauded lawmakers for sending extra help to undocumented immigrants, but said it didn’t go far enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With a multibillion dollar surplus we should be creating a real California for All,” said Sasha Feldstein, economic justice policy manager at the California Immigrant Policy Center. “And that means filling in all of the gaps left by exclusionary federal relief efforts, not just pieces.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

But some advocates and lawmakers argued that the money would be better spent on filling gaps in federal relief, rather than trying to jumpstart the economy. Instead, they pushed for two alternatives that would send much larger cash payments payments to California’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/publication/undocumented-immigrants-in-california/\">nearly one in 10 workers\u003c/a> who are undocumented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today’s $3.8 billion Golden State Stimulus deal took those concerns into account. California will now send $600 tax rebates out to 3.8 million workers who made less than $30,000 last year. On top of that, an estimated 575,000 undocumented workers who make up to $75,000 a year will get an extra $600, in some cases bringing their total aid to $1,200.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grants of $600 will also go out to 405,000 very low-income families with children enrolled in CalWorks, as well as 1.2 million elderly, blind and disabled recipients of Supplemental Security Income or the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdss.ca.gov/capi\">state’s Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Sending Out More Cash\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>California’s coffers have grown since Newsom’s January proposal, likely increasing lawmakers’ appetite to send out more cash. \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/GavinNewsom/status/1357089574288117760?s=20\">The state now expects\u003c/a> $10.3 billion more in revenue than was projected in January, \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/california-divide/2021/01/california-budget-depends-on-staggering-wealth-gap/\">driven by the pandemic gains of the state’s wealthiest residents\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sending thousands in relief to undocumented immigrants would be a political nonstarter in most other parts of the country. But not in California, which has used its growing Democratic super majority of legislators — \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/california-legislature/2021/01/how-diverse-california-legislature/\">of which one in four are Latino\u003c/a> — to break economic barriers for those without legal status, granting them driver’s licenses, sending them low-income tax refunds and expanding health care for undocumented children and young adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think about my community and the 2 million people across the state who have been left out of any type of assistance,” said Assembly Member Wendy Carrillo, a Democrat from Los Angeles who was formally undocumented herself, in a hearing on the proposal. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They are also largely ineligible for other safety net benefits, like food stamps. Newsom created a program to send $500 to undocumented immigrants last spring, but there was only enough money for about 150,000 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the summer, Newsom also created Housing for the Harvest to provide hotel rooms for farmworkers who can’t safely quarantine at home. But as of late January, \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/california-divide/2020/12/why-few-farmworkers-isolate-in-californias-free-covid-19-hotel-rooms/\">just 119 rooms had been reserved\u003c/a>. Earlier today Newsom acknowledged that the program has been “underutilized.” The early action deal doubles down on the program, investing $24 million in financial assistance and services for farmworkers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s stimulus will act like a boost to the California’s Earned Income Tax Credit, which is already available to undocumented workers who file taxes with an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, thanks to a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/california-divide/2020/09/newsom-weighs-pandemic-relief-for-undocumented-immigrants/\">new law passed last year\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During legislative hearings, the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office recommended sending \u003ca href=\"https://abgt.assembly.ca.gov/sites/abgt.assembly.ca.gov/files/Feb%202%20Sub%204%20LAO%20The-2021-22-Budget-Golden-State-Stimulus-012221.pdf\">$1,800 payments\u003c/a> just to the low-income ITIN filers, cutting the plan’s price tag to under $1 billion.

By contrast, he noted Californians received about $4 billion in unemployment benefits each week during 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The LAO alternative had gained support from a group of 17 Assembly Democrats. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

For households making less than $50,000 last year that file taxes with ITINS, they asked California to send $1,200 per parent and child.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The compromise with Newsom was less.

They froze some 350,000 unemployment accounts around the time Hansen’s card was cut off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The catch: while Hansen and other out-of-work Californians were left in financial purgatory unable to access unemployment money, a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/2020/11/how-bank-of-america-helped-fuel-californias-unemployment-meltdown/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Great Recession-era contract\u003c/a> ensured that the state and the bank kept raking in millions of dollars in merchant fees whenever debit cards still in circulation were swiped. In September, the EDD made $5.2 million on a debit card revenue sharing agreement with Bank of America — a sizable chunk of the $22.5 million the state raked in from March to October, according to public records requested by CalMatters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How much money did Bank of America make on its end of the deal? The state says it doesn’t know, and the bank won’t say, despite a contract requirement to report unemployment debit card fees and revenue each month. “EDD does not track BofA’s revenue,” the agency told CalMatters. The bank declined to comment on its unemployment revenue and financial reporting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is essentially a nifty little hidden kickback scheme,” said Assembly Member Jim Patterson, a Republican from Fresno. “This is becoming far too familiar.

Instead, the two parties split revenue on merchant transaction fees when the cards are swiped, and the bank charges limited consumer fees for things like ATM use or rush shipping on new debit cards. The contract specifies only that the state’s share of the fee revenue will “assist in offsetting program costs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bank was supposed to report at least monthly on any fees earned and its average revenue, according to the contract provided by the state. But when CalMatters asked for those reports, the state said it did not have any records on bank fees. The agency said only that Bank of America made $37.8 million in transaction fees during 2013 — a figure disclosed as part of a bond estimate in a year when California paid out a sliver of the record \u003ca href=\"https://www.auditor.ca.gov/reports/2020-128and628.1/introduction.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$111 billion\u003c/a> in unemployment benefits from March to December last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[ad fullwidth]\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m stunned that EDD doesn’t know,” Patterson said, “and I’m not sure that I believe that they don’t know.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bank of America said it suspended some consumer fees, including rush shipping charges, in the spring. The bank declined to comment on transaction fees. Faiz Ahmad, managing director of transaction services for Bank of America, \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/2021/01/bank-of-america-lost-hundreds-of-millions-on-california-unemployment-fiasco/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">told lawmakers last week\u003c/a> that despite any money the bank may have made during the pandemic, it “lost hundreds of millions of dollars on the contract” last year due to fraud and a need to hire more customer service workers to respond to complaints.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Wendy Carrillo, Democratic Assembly Member, Los Angeles\"]‘Bank of America’s contract with EDD belongs to California’s taxpayers. Its contents are not secret. They belong to the public record.’[/pullquote] \u003c/span>“Bank of America’s contract with EDD belongs to California’s taxpayers,” said Assembly Member Wendy Carrillo, a Democrat from Los Angeles. “Its contents are not secret. They belong to the public record.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lauren Saunders, associate director of the National Consumer Law Center, has \u003ca href=\"https://www.nclc.org/images/pdf/pr-reports/report-prepaid-card-2013.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">studied unemployment debit card contracts\u003c/a> including the one Bank of America has in California. She found that many states are “not paying any attention” to fees earned by banks — a lack of transparency that makes it hard to know how much unemployed workers are paying to use their benefit money — but that California’s revenue sharing agreement appears to be unique.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Banks have to make money. They are selling a product,” Saunders said. “What’s more unusual is the state making money. That’s because California is such a big market and there was so much interchange revenue that the bank was willing to share some with the state, but that money should go back into making sure that people aren’t paying fees and to making sure that people get the money where they want to get it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A Long Fight\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>As fall turned to winter, Hansen tried everything she could think of to get her missing unemployment money back. She spent hours on hold with the bank, then called the state when she was told it was an identity verification issue. After waiting hours longer to get through to the state agency, and often hung up on in the process, she was told that she needed to call the bank. She called politicians and posted online, and briefly saw the account reopened just long enough for another $672 to post to the account, only to have the card frozen again. [aside tag=\"unemployment\" label=\"More Related Coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By December, it was too late.

They froze some 350,000 unemployment accounts around the time Hansen’s card was cut off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The catch: while Hansen and other out-of-work Californians were left in financial purgatory unable to access unemployment money, a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/2020/11/how-bank-of-america-helped-fuel-californias-unemployment-meltdown/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Great Recession-era contract\u003c/a> ensured that the state and the bank kept raking in millions of dollars in merchant fees whenever debit cards still in circulation were swiped. In September, the EDD made $5.2 million on a debit card revenue sharing agreement with Bank of America — a sizable chunk of the $22.5 million the state raked in from March to October, according to public records requested by CalMatters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How much money did Bank of America make on its end of the deal? The state says it doesn’t know, and the bank won’t say, despite a contract requirement to report unemployment debit card fees and revenue each month. “EDD does not track BofA’s revenue,” the agency told CalMatters. The bank declined to comment on its unemployment revenue and financial reporting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is essentially a nifty little hidden kickback scheme,” said Assembly Member Jim Patterson, a Republican from Fresno. “This is becoming far too familiar.

Instead, the two parties split revenue on merchant transaction fees when the cards are swiped, and the bank charges limited consumer fees for things like ATM use or rush shipping on new debit cards. The contract specifies only that the state’s share of the fee revenue will “assist in offsetting program costs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bank was supposed to report at least monthly on any fees earned and its average revenue, according to the contract provided by the state. But when CalMatters asked for those reports, the state said it did not have any records on bank fees. The agency said only that Bank of America made $37.8 million in transaction fees during 2013 — a figure disclosed as part of a bond estimate in a year when California paid out a sliver of the record \u003ca href=\"https://www.auditor.ca.gov/reports/2020-128and628.1/introduction.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$111 billion\u003c/a> in unemployment benefits from March to December last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They are selling a product,” Saunders said. “What’s more unusual is the state making money. That’s because California is such a big market and there was so much interchange revenue that the bank was willing to share some with the state, but that money should go back into making sure that people aren’t paying fees and to making sure that people get the money where they want to get it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A Long Fight\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>As fall turned to winter, Hansen tried everything she could think of to get her missing unemployment money back.

Faulconer has criticized Newsom's management of the pandemic as erratic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Look, we've had some businesses in California that have been open and shut five different times,\" Faulconer said on \u003ca href=\"https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ex-san-diego-mayor-exploratory-committee-challenge-gov-newsom-raised-1-million\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fox News\u003c/a> last month. \"The fact that we had outdoor dining shut these past several months, again, when there was no science behind the transmission of the virus in outdoor dining settings, I think speaks volumes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's why so many Californians up and down the state are frustrated and at their wits end,\" he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Faulconer enters the governor's race after declining to run in 2018, despite the urging of top party leaders who thought his relatively moderate philosophy on issues like immigration, LGBT and abortion rights ,and climate change would appeal to independent voters and more conservative Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, Newsom crushed Republican John Cox in that election 62% to 38%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Faulconer has been involved in the latest campaign to recall Newsom, which has until March 17 to turn in about 1.5 million valid signatures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although largely avoiding partisan politics as mayor of San Diego, Faulconer intensified his criticism of Newsom after the governor's widely covered — and lambasted — \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/18/politics/gavin-newsom-french-laundry-california-governor/index.html\">dinner in November\u003c/a> at the posh French Laundry restaurant in Napa, where he joined lobbyists and others for a birthday party with guests who did not wear masks.

He signed a series of city budgets that financed libraries, fire stations, parks and road paving. However, when he left office last year, Faulconer handed incoming Mayor Todd Gloria, a Democrat, an $86 million deficit to manage, largely as a result of plummeting revenues during the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Faulconer's efforts to reduce homelessness in San Diego also had mixed results.

In May, a 57-year-old Salvadoran man held at the Otay Mesa Detention Center, near San Diego, became the first person to die from COVID-19 in ICE custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These are lives that are at greater risk considering what we know happens at these facilities,” said Thomas, who directs government affairs at the California Immigrant Policy Center in Sacramento. “So if the ball was dropped, it needs to get picked up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state initially prioritized people in congregate settings, including those incarcerated, for vaccine allocation. More than 8,700 state prison inmates — 9% of the total prison population — have received the first round of the vaccine, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it is unclear if any immigrant detainees in the state have been inoculated yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE and two private prison companies operating most of the detention facilities in California — the GEO Group and CoreCivic — declined to answer whether any detainees in their custody had received the vaccine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Issa Arnita, a spokesman with Management & Training Corp., which runs the Imperial Regional Detention Facility in Calexico, said while some staffers have received doses, the vaccine “has not yet reached detainees.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Arnita said that the company would offer the vaccine to people held in its facilities once local authorities deliver it.

The number of people held in immigration detention centers has plummeted during the pandemic to 14,200 nationwide — from 23,400 last June — in part because courts have ordered ICE to release vulnerable immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, nearly 9,000 people who were or are in ICE detention have tested positive for the virus so far, including hundreds in California, according to agency figures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state has argued in court recently that it has the right to protect people’s safety and health within its borders, even those who are in federal detention facilities. Yet with ICE declining responsibility, and California seeming to take no action, Yazdan Panah worries that immigrant detainees may not be able to receive the vaccine at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we want to see is California exercising [its] right and ensuring that individuals in these facilities are protected,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bureaucratic confusion comes as the state struggles with one of the slowest vaccine rollouts in the nation. One of the biggest problems is that the federal government hasn’t delivered enough doses to the state, said Kiran Savage-Sangwan, who directs the California Pan-Ethnic Health Network and also sits on the CDPH’s Community Vaccine Advisory Committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even with the limited supply, California is trying to speed up delivery by shifting from a complex list of at-risk populations and essential workers, to a simpler age-based system, with those 65 and older first in line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That change, and the state’s lack of clarity around who is in charge of vaccinating immigrant detainees, may delay COVID-19 protections even longer for people held at ICE facilities, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I hope it gets resolved because it’s so important,” said Savage-Sangwan. “We really have seen major outbreaks in the detention centers and we have to, you know, not be playing hot potato with this issue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

In May, a 57-year-old Salvadoran man held at the Otay Mesa Detention Center, near San Diego, became the first person to die from COVID-19 in ICE custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These are lives that are at greater risk considering what we know happens at these facilities,” said Thomas, who directs government affairs at the California Immigrant Policy Center in Sacramento. “So if the ball was dropped, it needs to get picked up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state initially prioritized people in congregate settings, including those incarcerated, for vaccine allocation. More than 8,700 state prison inmates — 9% of the total prison population — have received the first round of the vaccine, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it is unclear if any immigrant detainees in the state have been inoculated yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE and two private prison companies operating most of the detention facilities in California — the GEO Group and CoreCivic — declined to answer whether any detainees in their custody had received the vaccine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Issa Arnita, a spokesman with Management & Training Corp., which runs the Imperial Regional Detention Facility in Calexico, said while some staffers have received doses, the vaccine “has not yet reached detainees.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Arnita said that the company would offer the vaccine to people held in its facilities once local authorities deliver it. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The number of people held in immigration detention centers has plummeted during the pandemic to 14,200 nationwide — from 23,400 last June — in part because courts have ordered ICE to release vulnerable immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, nearly 9,000 people who were or are in ICE detention have tested positive for the virus so far, including hundreds in California, according to agency figures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state has argued in court recently that it has the right to protect people’s safety and health within its borders, even those who are in federal detention facilities. Yet with ICE declining responsibility, and California seeming to take no action, Yazdan Panah worries that immigrant detainees may not be able to receive the vaccine at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we want to see is California exercising [its] right and ensuring that individuals in these facilities are protected,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bureaucratic confusion comes as the state struggles with one of the slowest vaccine rollouts in the nation. One of the biggest problems is that the federal government hasn’t delivered enough doses to the state, said Kiran Savage-Sangwan, who directs the California Pan-Ethnic Health Network and also sits on the CDPH’s Community Vaccine Advisory Committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even with the limited supply, California is trying to speed up delivery by shifting from a complex list of at-risk populations and essential workers, to a simpler age-based system, with those 65 and older first in line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That change, and the state’s lack of clarity around who is in charge of vaccinating immigrant detainees, may delay COVID-19 protections even longer for people held at ICE facilities, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I hope it gets resolved because it’s so important,” said Savage-Sangwan. “We really have seen major outbreaks in the detention centers and we have to, you know, not be playing hot potato with this issue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The 20-year-old asylum seeker, held by immigration authorities at a jail north of Sacramento, tested positive for COVID-19 on Jan. 7, a few days after his symptoms began.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The diagnosis felt particularly stinging to Erazo Herrera. He had repeatedly called on officials with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Yuba County Jail to do more to prevent a coronavirus outbreak at the facility, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11835611/ice-detainees-at-yuba-jail-press-for-covid-19-protections\">waging hunger strikes\u003c/a> last year to protest what he believed were unsafe conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Juan Jose Erazo Herrera, ICE detainee at Yuba County Jail\"]'It’s not our fault we get sick when we can’t protect ourselves.'[/pullquote]“They didn’t listen to us,” Erazo Herrera said in Spanish. “And it’s really unfair. It’s not our fault we get sick when we can’t protect ourselves.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The coronavirus has spread rapidly at the Yuba County Jail, infecting about half of all the people currently locked up there. More than 120 county inmates and nine ICE detainees at the facility have tested positive for COVID-19 since last month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Guards isolated Erazo Herrera in a small, concrete cell with no windows for 12 days, he said. When he was first placed there, he said the conditions were squalid, with a filthy toilet, moldy walls and a bed covered in dust and other people’s hair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not going to lie, when I first saw the cell, I started crying,” said Erazo Herrera, who is originally from El Salvador. “I tried to protest.

He asked for cleaning products and wiped it down himself despite having a severe headache and shortness of breath.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the pandemic, a federal judge in San Francisco has been monitoring conditions at the jail, located in Marysville, and on Dec. 23 he ordered ICE take steps to protect detainees, including testing them at least weekly for the coronavirus, and ensuring cells are cleaned and disinfected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria intervened after immigrants held at Yuba County Jail and another facility in Bakersfield \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11832472/people-are-terrified-sf-judge-orders-covid-19-testing-at-ice-facility\">sued to force ICE to release detainees\u003c/a> in an effort to reduce the detained population and allow for social distancing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the cleaning requirement at Yuba County Jail isn’t being met, said Kelly Wells, an attorney with the San Francisco Public Defender’s immigration unit, who represents Erazo Herrera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We've heard consistently from every single detainee who has been moved since the order that they have arrived to filthy cells that clearly hadn't even been cleaned, much less disinfected,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11857142\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11857142\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/01/Yuba-County-Jail-Cells.jpg\" alt=\"Exterior doors of isolation cells at Yuba County Jail\" width=\"800\" height=\"577\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/01/Yuba-County-Jail-Cells.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/01/Yuba-County-Jail-Cells-160x115.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">ICE detainees and other people incarcerated at Yuba County Jail can be placed in isolation in windowless 'safety cells' for days at a time. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Rosen Bien Galvan & Grunfeld LLP)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A spokeswoman with the Yuba County Sheriff’s Office, which oversees the jail, referred questions to ICE. The immigration agency also declined to comment about the conditions of Erazo Herrera’s medical segregation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement cannot comment due to pending litigation,” said ICE spokesman Jonathan Moor in a statement. “However, a lack of comment should not be construed as an agreement with or stipulation to any allegations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly 9,000 people have tested positive for COVID-19 while in ICE detention, according to agency \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/coronavirus#detStat\">figures\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE detention centers must ensure that medical isolation is “operationally distinct” from any punitive form of housing, according to the agency’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/doclib/coronavirus/eroCOVID19responseReqsCleanFacilities.pdf\">pandemic response requirements\u003c/a>. For instance, facilities must provide detainees with access to TV, recreation and books to the fullest extent possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But immigrants held at various detention centers, including private prisons and county jails, have reported that ICE is \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11841120/ice-misusing-solitary-confinement-for-covid-19-quarantine-detainees-say\">misusing solitary confinement\u003c/a> for COVID-19 quarantine. Erazo Herrera said the 12-day quarantine he experienced felt like a punishment, and his mental health deteriorated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='immigration']He was kept in the cell alone, 22 hours per day, he said. For days, there was nothing for him to do to pass the time. The jail eventually allowed him to have books friends outside the jail sent him, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That cell is not for a human being, it’s like for keeping a dangerous animal locked up. There’s no TV, there’s nothing,” said Erazo Herrera. “You start feeling so depressed that you think about killing yourself. You wonder what you’ve done to deserve to be treated this way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was released from medical segregation last week and said he no longer feels severe COVID-19 symptoms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since April, the ICE detainee population at Yuba County Jail has decreased from 144 to 16 people. Judge Chhabria ordered the agency to release more than 50 immigrants from the facility. Others were transferred, deported or released by ICE, which can free individuals after assessing their public safety and flight risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney Wells said conditions are so miserable that some immigrants held at Yuba County Jail have given up and agreed to be deported after just one month in detention.
