after-school jobs are facing additional pressure to work more to pay immigration lawyers to fight their cases, said Lauren Markham, director of the school’s learning lab.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Markham expressed concern that the urgency to work more may lead the students to miss classes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12017430

in immigration raids,” Markham said. “There is a pervasive sense of uncertainty, and this kind of looming, amorphous threat that ‘at any moment I may be sent home’ to, in many cases, a place of danger.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland Unified School District already has trained staff on how to respond to potential immigration enforcement at schools, and it urges immigrant parents to make a \u003ca

disengagement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The researchers surveyed 3600 educators in more than 700 schools in 12 states and discovered that increased absenteeism led to lower funding for schools, which affected support services for all students, said Patricia Gandara, a co-director of the project. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because most of the schools where immigrant students are found are poor schools, they [had] a hard time meeting the very deep needs of the students,” Gandara said. “Even the students who were not from immigrant families were being affected by this because of the climate in the school, the climate in the classroom, and the concern for the other students who were more targeted. So it was having a devastating effect on the schools that most need help,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said legislation to beef up protections for immigrant students sends a message to those students that schools have their back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the really sad things that we heard from teachers was that oftentimes, their best students were giving up. Because the kids would say, ‘I don’t see that I have a future in this country. Why am I knocking myself out to try and go to college if I have no future?” Gandara said. “So if these young people hear that legislators and other people in the schools are really working on their behalf and are trying to protect them, I think that’s helpful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated the number of schools surveyed by researchers at the Civil Rights Project at UCLA.

So it was having a devastating effect on the schools that most need help,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said legislation to beef up protections for immigrant students sends a message to those students that schools have their back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the really sad things that we heard from teachers was that oftentimes, their best students were giving up. Because the kids would say, ‘I don’t see that I have a future in this country. Why am I knocking myself out to try and go to college if I have no future?” Gandara said. “So if these young people hear that legislators and other people in the schools are really working on their behalf and are trying to protect them, I think that’s helpful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated the number of schools surveyed by researchers at the Civil Rights Project at UCLA.

Ambos ayudaron a formular las políticas de inmigración durante el primer mandato de Trump, incluido \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/president-biden-takes-office/2021/01/21/959074750/biden-suspends-deportations-stops-remain-in-mexico-policy\">el programa “Quédate en México”\u003c/a>, que obligaba a los migrantes que pedían asilo a esperar sus audiencias judiciales en suelo mexicano, y no estadounidense, y \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/07/15/741769333/u-s-sets-new-asylum-rule-telling-potential-refugees-to-apply-elsewhere\">los acuerdos de “tercer país seguro”\u003c/a> que requieren a los migrantes solicitantes que pidan asilo primero en países como El Salvador o Guatemala.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Al regresar a la Casa Blanca, tanto Miller como Homan pretenden cumplir muchas de las promesas de campaña de las que Trump hizo en 2024. Estas incluyen poner fin al programa de \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/es/DACA\">Acción Diferida para los Llegados en la Infancia\u003c/a> o DACA, limitar estrictamente el proceso de asilo, ampliar los centros de detención de migrantes y aplicar lo que el presidente electo ha llamado \u003ca href=\"http://EE.UU\">“la mayor operación de deportación doméstica en la historia de los EE.UU.”\u003c/a>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California tiene 1,8 millones de residentes \u003ca href=\"https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/07/22/what-we-know-about-unauthorized-immigrants-living-in-the-us/\">que carecen de estatus legal permanente\u003c/a>, según la última investigación disponible, aproximadamente el 5% de las personas que viven en el estado. En el 8% de los hogares californianos hay algún miembro de la familia sin estatus legal permanente. Ahora muchos sienten ansiedad, confusión y miedo mientras Trump sigue amenazando con la deportación de las personas que carecen de estatus legal permanente, algo que podría separar a miles de familias.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“En este momento, tenemos seis semanas para prepararnos para lo que yo diría que va a ser una versión mucho peor de lo que hemos visto antes”, dijo Huy Tran, director ejecutivo de \u003ca href=\"https://www.sirenimmigrantrights.org/\">Servicios, Derechos de los Inmigrantes y la Red de Educación (o SIREN por sus siglas en inglés)\u003c/a>, una organización con oficinas en San José y Fresno que ofrece asistencia jurídica, capacitación y desarrollo de liderazgo a las comunidades de inmigrantes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Para entender mejor lo que nos espera y lo que las familias indocumentadas y de “estatus mixto” pueden hacer ahora mismo, hablamos con abogados de inmigración que trabajan con grupos de ayuda legal en todo el estado. Siga leyendo para conocer la opinión de los expertos, teniendo en cuenta que cada situación de inmigración es única y que para recomendaciones específicas, lo mejor es hablar con un abogado licenciado sobre su caso individual.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>¿Quiénes serían afectados primero por las políticas de inmigración de Trump?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Trump puede prometer mucho en la campaña electoral, pero es importante cuestionar lo que realmente puede hacer como presidente, dijo Lourdes Martínez, abogada codirectora del bufete de derechos de los inmigrantes en el \u003ca href=\"https://www.centrolegal.org/\">Centro Legal de la Raza\u003c/a>, una organización sin fines de lucro de servicios legales en Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“La verdad es”, dijo Martínez, “que los grandes cambios en la ley avanzan con mucha lentitud”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Algo que ella le recuerda a sus clientes es que Joe Biden sigue siendo el presidente hasta la toma de posesión de Trump el 20 de enero. Hasta entonces, Trump no puede hacer ningún cambio en la política de inmigración.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y una vez que Trump esté en el poder, añadió, lo más probable es que se enfoque en cosas que pueda cambiar rápidamente sin necesidad de tener que pasar a través del Congreso. Martínez dijo que estas incluirían la seguridad a lo largo de la frontera entre los EE.UU. y México o la forma en que el gobierno federal maneja los \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/es/leyes-y-politicas/otros-recursos/beneficios-de-inmigracion-en-procedimientos-de-eoir\">procesos de expulsión en curso\u003c/a> (cuando un juez decide si un inmigrante que carece de estatus legal permanente debe ser deportado del país).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ahí es donde se van a concentrar los abogados”, dijo. “La gente que ya tiene un caso en los tribunales, especialmente los que están en proceso de expulsión”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Si ese es su caso, dijo Martínez, o el de un ser querido, “creo que sería prudente” \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12013522/free-legal-aid-in-the-bay-area-how-it-works-where-to-find-it\">consultar a un abogado lo antes posible\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>¿Cómo sé si estoy bajo el proceso de expulsión?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>La Oficina Ejecutiva de Revisión de Inmigración (o EOIR por sus siglas en inglés) del Departamento de Justicia gestiona los tribunales de inmigración, y si usted está en un procedimiento de expulsión en curso, deberían haberle enviado una carta por correo con los detalles de su próxima audiencia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Si no ha recibido una carta del EOIR, puede llamar al tribunal de inmigración que gestiona su caso y tenga a mano su \u003ca href=\"https://acis.eoir.justice.gov/es/\">número de registro de extranjero\u003c/a> (“A-Number” o “Número-A”): es un número que puede encontrar en los documentos que ha recibido de las autoridades migratorias. Podrá encontrar la información para contactar el tribunal que gestiona su caso introduciendo \u003ca href=\"https://acis.eoir.justice.gov/es/\">su Número-A en el sitio web de EOIR\u003c/a>.[aside label='Más en español' tag='kqed-en-espanol']“Si usted nunca ha tenido contacto con autoridades migratorias, como ICE, es probable que no esté en el sistema”, dijo Martínez. “La mayoría de nuestros clientes aquí en el Área de la Bahía con nuevas audiencias son muy probablemente personas que fueron detenidas en la frontera y han llegado hasta aquí. Tienen un historial de detención. Saben que fueron detenidos. Y tendrán algo de documentación”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>La Casa Blanca puede poner mayor prioridad a los casos de deportación que ya están en curso. Según el Centro Nacional de Leyes de Inmigración, esto se llama “discreción fiscal”: \u003ca href=\"https://www.nilc.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/president-legal-authority-2014-08-20.pdf\">el poder de decidir a quién investigar, arrestar, detener, acusar y procesar\u003c/a>. Según datos de ICE, \u003ca href=\"https://homeland.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/24-01143-ICEs-Signed-Response-to-Representative-Tony-Gonzales.pdf\">hay más de 662 mil 500 personas no ciudadanas con antecedentes penales en la lista\u003c/a> de casos de deportación pendientes, y eso incluye tanto a inmigrantes detenidos como no detenidos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En otras palabras, si la administración Trump cambia qué casos se priorizan, eso solo afecta a las personas que ya están acudiendo a los tribunales para un proceso de expulsión en curso. Pero Martínez dijo que la enorme atención mediática que Trump obtiene de sus amenazas contra los inmigrantes sin estatus legal permanente termina creando una percepción de miedo y eso es por su designio, dijo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Es más probable que el gobierno federal haga las cosas que puedan dar visibilidad a la administración Trump, para que pueda presumir ante sus seguidores que está haciendo lo que dijo que haría”, dijo. “Lo más probable es que lo que podríamos enfrentar es en su lugar es una cultura de miedo contra la comunidad inmigrante…solo tienen que detener a algunas personas para que el miedo repercuta realmente”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Incluso si usted no está en un procedimiento de expulsión en curso, los expertos recomiendan consultar con un abogado de inmigración sobre cuáles son sus mejores opciones, dependiendo de su situación específica.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Si tengo DACA, ¿qué puedo hacer?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Si actualmente es una de las más de las 800 mil personas a nivel nacional con DACA y es \u003ca href=\"https://unitedwedream.org/resources/daca-renewal-all-the-information-you-need-to-know-if-you-are-looking-to-renew/\">elegible para renovar esta protección\u003c/a>, los defensores recomiendan que hable con su abogado tan pronto como pueda sobre una renovación de DACA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Esto se debe a que no es solo la administración entrante la que está buscando cambiar, o eliminar, el programa. Un tribunal federal que se ha ganado una reputación por sus decisiones de inmigración de mano dura \u003ca href=\"https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/10/daca-undocumented-youth-deportation-trump-harris-2024-fifth-circuit/\">está revisando actualmente la legalidad de DACA\u003c/a>. Con esto en mente, es posible que quiera consultar con un abogado sobre si hay algo más relacionado con su situación que podría convertirse en un estatus legítimo, dijo Martínez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recuerde: Según el gobierno federal, \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/es/programas-humanitarios/consideracion-de-accion-diferida-para-los-llegados-en-la-infancia-daca/preguntas-frecuentes\">cualquiera que tenga DACA entró al país ilegalmente\u003c/a>, lo que significa que tener una “entrada ilegal” en su registro hace que sea muy difícil para los beneficiarios de DACA obtener el estatus permanente a través del matrimonio o el patrocinio de un empleado.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pero “DACA tiene disposiciones que permiten a las personas obtener \u003ca href=\"https://unitedwedream.org/resources/daca-prep-session-4-daca-renewals-and-applying-for-advance-parole/\">libertad condicional anticipada\u003c/a>, cuando [los beneficiarios] pueden viajar fuera del país por razones muy especiales, como fines educativos, emergencias médicas o ir a visitar a un familiar que está a punto de fallecer”, dijo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y si puede obtener la libertad condicional anticipada, dijo Martínez, eso podría mejorar sus posibilidades. Si sale del país, cumple con el propósito de ese viaje y luego reingresa con su libertad condicional anticipada, “ya no se encuentra sin ingreso legal”, dijo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tener una entrada legal en su registro puede ayudar a la hora de solicitar un estatus legal, dijo. “Si hay personas acogidas a DACA por lo que podrían ser elegibles para esta libertad condicional anticipada”, dijo Martínez, “este sería el momento de hacerlo”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12015515\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1536px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12015515\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/people-with-DACA-SIGNS.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1536\" height=\"936\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/people-with-DACA-SIGNS.png 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/people-with-DACA-SIGNS-800x488.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/people-with-DACA-SIGNS-1020x622.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/people-with-DACA-SIGNS-160x98.png 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jóvenes inmigrantes y simpatizantes caminan sosteniendo carteles durante una manifestación en apoyo a la Acción Diferida para los Llegados en la Infancia (DACA) en Los Ángeles, California, el 1 de septiembre de 2017. \u003ccite>(Frederic J.

Sin embargo, después de sólo una semana de aceptar solicitudes, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/11/08/g-s1-33370/judge-biden-program-immigrant-spouses-deportation\">un juez federal de Texas lo anuló\u003c/a>. Esto significa que en muchas situaciones los cónyuges sin estatus legal permanente siguen teniendo que abandonar temporalmente el país si quieren solicitar el estatus legal a pesar de estar ya casados con un ciudadano estadounidense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>González añade que hay algunas pequeñas cosas que las familias pueden hacer para mantenerse unidas si un familiar corre el riesgo de ser deportado.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Es importante que la gente sepa que no debe publicar su ubicación en Internet”, dijo, y añadió que los funcionarios de inmigración pueden trabajar con las fuerzas de orden público locales para utilizar la información disponible en las redes sociales para localizar a los inmigrantes que tienen una orden de deportación.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12015516\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1536px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12015516\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/mother-with-young-child.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1023\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/mother-with-young-child.png 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/mother-with-young-child-800x533.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/mother-with-young-child-1020x679.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/mother-with-young-child-160x107.png 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Familias asisten a un taller para inmigrantes sin estatus legal permanente en Coachella, California, durante el primer mandato de Trump, el 24 de febrero de 2017. \u003ccite>(David McNew/AFP vía Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>La mayoría de las ciudades del Área de la Bahía y \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/10/05/555920658/california-governor-signs-sanctuary-state-bill\">todo el estado de California\u003c/a> han adoptado lo que se conoce como leyes “santuario”, por las que los funcionarios locales y estatales no cooperan con las fuerzas federales de inmigración. Sin embargo, los defensores subrayan que estas políticas \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/justice/2018/05/rebelling-against-californias-sanctuary-law-from-inside-california/\">no son escudos perfectos\u003c/a>. Por eso les recuerdan a los habitantes que eviten situaciones en las que puedan terminar detenidos o interrogados por las fuerzas del orden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Las familias también deben prepararse para lo peor, dijo Cathy Sakimura, directora ejecutiva de \u003ca href=\"https://lsc-sf.org/how-we-can-help/\">Legal Services for Children\u003c/a>, una organización de ayuda legal con sede en San Francisco que se dedica principalmente a menores que entraron en el país sin sus padres. Una de las difíciles preguntas que los adultos con hijos que son ciudadanos estadounidenses deben considerar al hacer un plan de emergencia es, dijo, “¿Quién debe cuidar a los niños si los padres son deportados?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Los padres pueden ser capaces de llenar una custodia de reserva, por ejemplo, o algún otro tipo de documentos de planificación patrimonial en torno a nombrar quién se hará cargo de sus hijos si algo les sucediera”, dijo Sakimura. Dijo que lo mejor es hablar con un abogado ahora sobre la preparación de documentos legales y financieros y la forma de abordar las necesidades específicas que los niños puedan tener si los padres son repentinamente puestos bajo la custodia de los oficiales de inmigración.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Recuerde que la Constitución aún nos protege …\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>En el verano de 2019, durante la última presidencia de Trump, el ICE anunció que llevaría a cabo \u003ca href=\"https://www.univision.com/noticias/inmigracion/comienza-el-operativo-de-ice-para-arrestar-a-indocumentados-con-orden-de-deportacion-final\">redadas a gran escala para detener a inmigrantes que carecen de estatus legal permanente en todo el país\u003c/a>.

En el 8% de los hogares californianos hay algún miembro de la familia sin estatus legal permanente. Ahora muchos sienten ansiedad, confusión y miedo mientras Trump sigue amenazando con la deportación de las personas que carecen de estatus legal permanente, algo que podría separar a miles de familias.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“En este momento, tenemos seis semanas para prepararnos para lo que yo diría que va a ser una versión mucho peor de lo que hemos visto antes”, dijo Huy Tran, director ejecutivo de \u003ca href=\"https://www.sirenimmigrantrights.org/\">Servicios, Derechos de los Inmigrantes y la Red de Educación (o SIREN por sus siglas en inglés)\u003c/a>, una organización con oficinas en San José y Fresno que ofrece asistencia jurídica, capacitación y desarrollo de liderazgo a las comunidades de inmigrantes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Para entender mejor lo que nos espera y lo que las familias indocumentadas y de “estatus mixto” pueden hacer ahora mismo, hablamos con abogados de inmigración que trabajan con grupos de ayuda legal en todo el estado.

Hasta entonces, Trump no puede hacer ningún cambio en la política de inmigración.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y una vez que Trump esté en el poder, añadió, lo más probable es que se enfoque en cosas que pueda cambiar rápidamente sin necesidad de tener que pasar a través del Congreso. Martínez dijo que estas incluirían la seguridad a lo largo de la frontera entre los EE.UU. y México o la forma en que el gobierno federal maneja los \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/es/leyes-y-politicas/otros-recursos/beneficios-de-inmigracion-en-procedimientos-de-eoir\">procesos de expulsión en curso\u003c/a> (cuando un juez decide si un inmigrante que carece de estatus legal permanente debe ser deportado del país).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ahí es donde se van a concentrar los abogados”, dijo. “La gente que ya tiene un caso en los tribunales, especialmente los que están en proceso de expulsión”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Si ese es su caso, dijo Martínez, o el de un ser querido, “creo que sería prudente” \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12013522/free-legal-aid-in-the-bay-area-how-it-works-where-to-find-it\">consultar a un abogado lo antes posible\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>¿Cómo sé si estoy bajo el proceso de expulsión?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>La Oficina Ejecutiva de Revisión de Inmigración (o EOIR por sus siglas en inglés) del Departamento de Justicia gestiona los tribunales de inmigración, y si usted está en un procedimiento de expulsión en curso, deberían haberle enviado una carta por correo con los detalles de su próxima audiencia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Si no ha recibido una carta del EOIR, puede llamar al tribunal de inmigración que gestiona su caso y tenga a mano su \u003ca href=\"https://acis.eoir.justice.gov/es/\">número de registro de extranjero\u003c/a> (“A-Number” o “Número-A”): es un número que puede encontrar en los documentos que ha recibido de las autoridades migratorias.

Tienen un historial de detención. Saben que fueron detenidos. Y tendrán algo de documentación”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>La Casa Blanca puede poner mayor prioridad a los casos de deportación que ya están en curso. Según el Centro Nacional de Leyes de Inmigración, esto se llama “discreción fiscal”: \u003ca href=\"https://www.nilc.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/president-legal-authority-2014-08-20.pdf\">el poder de decidir a quién investigar, arrestar, detener, acusar y procesar\u003c/a>.

Pero Martínez dijo que la enorme atención mediática que Trump obtiene de sus amenazas contra los inmigrantes sin estatus legal permanente termina creando una percepción de miedo y eso es por su designio, dijo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Es más probable que el gobierno federal haga las cosas que puedan dar visibilidad a la administración Trump, para que pueda presumir ante sus seguidores que está haciendo lo que dijo que haría”, dijo. “Lo más probable es que lo que podríamos enfrentar es en su lugar es una cultura de miedo contra la comunidad inmigrante…solo tienen que detener a algunas personas para que el miedo repercuta realmente”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Incluso si usted no está en un procedimiento de expulsión en curso, los expertos recomiendan consultar con un abogado de inmigración sobre cuáles son sus mejores opciones, dependiendo de su situación específica.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Si tengo DACA, ¿qué puedo hacer?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Si actualmente es una de las más de las 800 mil personas a nivel nacional con DACA y es \u003ca href=\"https://unitedwedream.org/resources/daca-renewal-all-the-information-you-need-to-know-if-you-are-looking-to-renew/\">elegible para renovar esta protección\u003c/a>, los defensores recomiendan que hable con su abogado tan pronto como pueda sobre una renovación de DACA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Esto se debe a que no es solo la administración entrante la que está buscando cambiar, o eliminar, el programa. Un tribunal federal que se ha ganado una reputación por sus decisiones de inmigración de mano dura \u003ca href=\"https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/10/daca-undocumented-youth-deportation-trump-harris-2024-fifth-circuit/\">está revisando actualmente la legalidad de DACA\u003c/a>. Con esto en mente, es posible que quiera consultar con un abogado sobre si hay algo más relacionado con su situación que podría convertirse en un estatus legítimo, dijo Martínez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recuerde: Según el gobierno federal, \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/es/programas-humanitarios/consideracion-de-accion-diferida-para-los-llegados-en-la-infancia-daca/preguntas-frecuentes\">cualquiera que tenga DACA entró al país ilegalmente\u003c/a>, lo que significa que tener una “entrada ilegal” en su registro hace que sea muy difícil para los beneficiarios de DACA obtener el estatus permanente a través del matrimonio o el patrocinio de un empleado.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pero “DACA tiene disposiciones que permiten a las personas obtener \u003ca href=\"https://unitedwedream.org/resources/daca-prep-session-4-daca-renewals-and-applying-for-advance-parole/\">libertad condicional anticipada\u003c/a>, cuando [los beneficiarios] pueden viajar fuera del país por razones muy especiales, como fines educativos, emergencias médicas o ir a visitar a un familiar que está a punto de fallecer”, dijo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y si puede obtener la libertad condicional anticipada, dijo Martínez, eso podría mejorar sus posibilidades. Si sale del país, cumple con el propósito de ese viaje y luego reingresa con su libertad condicional anticipada, “ya no se encuentra sin ingreso legal”, dijo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tener una entrada legal en su registro puede ayudar a la hora de solicitar un estatus legal, dijo. “Si hay personas acogidas a DACA por lo que podrían ser elegibles para esta libertad condicional anticipada”, dijo Martínez, “este sería el momento de hacerlo”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12015515\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1536px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12015515\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/people-with-DACA-SIGNS.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1536\" height=\"936\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/people-with-DACA-SIGNS.png 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/people-with-DACA-SIGNS-800x488.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/people-with-DACA-SIGNS-1020x622.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/people-with-DACA-SIGNS-160x98.png 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jóvenes inmigrantes y simpatizantes caminan sosteniendo carteles durante una manifestación en apoyo a la Acción Diferida para los Llegados en la Infancia (DACA) en Los Ángeles, California, el 1 de septiembre de 2017. \u003ccite>(Frederic J.

Sin embargo, después de sólo una semana de aceptar solicitudes, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/11/08/g-s1-33370/judge-biden-program-immigrant-spouses-deportation\">un juez federal de Texas lo anuló\u003c/a>. Esto significa que en muchas situaciones los cónyuges sin estatus legal permanente siguen teniendo que abandonar temporalmente el país si quieren solicitar el estatus legal a pesar de estar ya casados con un ciudadano estadounidense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>González añade que hay algunas pequeñas cosas que las familias pueden hacer para mantenerse unidas si un familiar corre el riesgo de ser deportado.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Es importante que la gente sepa que no debe publicar su ubicación en Internet”, dijo, y añadió que los funcionarios de inmigración pueden trabajar con las fuerzas de orden público locales para utilizar la información disponible en las redes sociales para localizar a los inmigrantes que tienen una orden de deportación.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12015516\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1536px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12015516\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/mother-with-young-child.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1023\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/mother-with-young-child.png 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/mother-with-young-child-800x533.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/mother-with-young-child-1020x679.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/mother-with-young-child-160x107.png 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Familias asisten a un taller para inmigrantes sin estatus legal permanente en Coachella, California, durante el primer mandato de Trump, el 24 de febrero de 2017. \u003ccite>(David McNew/AFP vía Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>La mayoría de las ciudades del Área de la Bahía y \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/10/05/555920658/california-governor-signs-sanctuary-state-bill\">todo el estado de California\u003c/a> han adoptado lo que se conoce como leyes “santuario”, por las que los funcionarios locales y estatales no cooperan con las fuerzas federales de inmigración.

Por eso les recuerdan a los habitantes que eviten situaciones en las que puedan terminar detenidos o interrogados por las fuerzas del orden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Las familias también deben prepararse para lo peor, dijo Cathy Sakimura, directora ejecutiva de \u003ca href=\"https://lsc-sf.org/how-we-can-help/\">Legal Services for Children\u003c/a>, una organización de ayuda legal con sede en San Francisco que se dedica principalmente a menores que entraron en el país sin sus padres. Una de las difíciles preguntas que los adultos con hijos que son ciudadanos estadounidenses deben considerar al hacer un plan de emergencia es, dijo, “¿Quién debe cuidar a los niños si los padres son deportados?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Los padres pueden ser capaces de llenar una custodia de reserva, por ejemplo, o algún otro tipo de documentos de planificación patrimonial en torno a nombrar quién se hará cargo de sus hijos si algo les sucediera”, dijo Sakimura. Dijo que lo mejor es hablar con un abogado ahora sobre la preparación de documentos legales y financieros y la forma de abordar las necesidades específicas que los niños puedan tener si los padres son repentinamente puestos bajo la custodia de los oficiales de inmigración.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Recuerde que la Constitución aún nos protege …\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>En el verano de 2019, durante la última presidencia de Trump, el ICE anunció que llevaría a cabo \u003ca href=\"https://www.univision.com/noticias/inmigracion/comienza-el-operativo-de-ice-para-arrestar-a-indocumentados-con-orden-de-deportacion-final\">redadas a gran escala para detener a inmigrantes que carecen de estatus legal permanente en todo el país\u003c/a>.

These include ending the \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/DACA\">Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program\u003c/a> or DACA; \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/28/us/politics/harris-trump-asylum-immigration.html\">strictly limiting the asylum process\u003c/a>; expanding migrant detention centers; and enforcing what the president-elect \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/03/trump-mass-deportations-detention-camps-military-migrants\">has called “the largest domestic deportation operation in American history.”\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/07/22/what-we-know-about-unauthorized-immigrants-living-in-the-us/\">California has 1.8 million residents who l\u003c/a>ack permanent legal status, according to the latest available research — roughly 5% of people in the state. Eight percent of California households include a family member without a permanent legal status. Many are now feeling anxiety, confusion and fear as Trump continues to threaten deportation for people lacking permanent legal status — something that could separate thousands of families.[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At this point, we have nine weeks to get ready for what I would say is going to be a much worse version of what we’ve seen before,” said Huy Tran, executive director of \u003ca href=\"https://www.sirenimmigrantrights.org/\">Services, Immigrant Rights and Education Network (SIREN)\u003c/a>, an organization with offices in San José and Fresno that offers legal aid, trainings and leadership development to immigrant communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To better understand what lies ahead and what undocumented and “mixed-status” families can do right now, we spoke to immigration attorneys working with \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12013522/free-legal-aid-in-the-bay-area-how-it-works-where-to-find-it\">legal aid groups\u003c/a> throughout the state. Keep reading to hear from experts, keeping in mind that each immigration situation is unique — and that for specific recommendations, it is best to talk to a licensed attorney about your individual case.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Who would first be impacted by Trump’s immigration policies?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Trump may make a lot of promises on the campaign trail, but it’s important to question what he actually can do as president, said Lourdes Martínez, co-directing attorney of the immigrants’ rights practice at \u003ca href=\"https://www.centrolegal.org/\">Centro Legal de la Raza\u003c/a>, a legal services nonprofit in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The truth is,” Martínez said, “big changes to the law move very slowly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Something she reminds her clients is that Joe Biden is still the president until Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20. Until then, Trump can’t make any changes to immigration policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And once Trump is in office, she added, he will most likely focus on things he can change quickly without needing to go through Congress. Martínez said these would include security along the U.S.-Mexico border or the way that the federal government handles \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/laws-and-policy/other-resources/immigration-benefits-in-eoir-removal-proceedings\">active removal proceedings\u003c/a> (when a judge decides if an immigrant who lacks permanent legal status should be deported from the country.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s where lawyers are going to focus,” she said. “People who already have a case in court, especially those who are in removal proceedings.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If that’s you, Martínez said — or a loved one — “I think it would be wise” to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12013522/free-legal-aid-in-the-bay-area-how-it-works-where-to-find-it\">check in with a lawyer as soon as possible\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How do you know if you are in a removal proceeding?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The Executive Office of Immigration Review (EOIR) at the Department of Justice manages immigration courts, and if you’re in an active removal proceeding, they should have sent you a letter in the mail with the details of your next hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you \u003cem>haven’t\u003c/em> received a letter from EOIR, you can call the immigration court managing your case and have \u003ca href=\"https://acis.eoir.justice.gov/en/\">your Alien Registration Number\u003c/a> (A-Number) ready — it’s a number that you can find on documents you have received from U.S. immigration officials. You can find the contact information of the court managing your case \u003ca href=\"https://acis.eoir.justice.gov/en/\">by entering your A-Number on EOIR’s website\u003c/a>.[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=news_12013409,news_12013960,news_12014017]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you have never come in touch with immigration law enforcement, like Immigration and Customs Enforcement, you are likely not in the system,” Martínez said. “Most of our clients here in the Bay Area with new hearings are most likely people that were detained at the border and they’ve made their way here. They have a history of detention. They know they were detained. And they’ll have some paperwork.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In active removal proceedings, a Trump White House could exert influence upon which cases are given priority. According to the National Immigration Law Center, this is called “prosecutorial discretion”: \u003ca href=\"https://www.nilc.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/president-legal-authority-2014-08-20.pdf\">the power to decide whom to investigate, arrest, detain, charge and prosecute\u003c/a>. According to \u003ca href=\"https://homeland.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/24-01143-ICEs-Signed-Response-to-Representative-Tony-Gonzales.pdf\">data from Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE)\u003c/a>, there are over 662,500 noncitizens with criminal histories on this agency’s list of pending or ongoing cases, and that includes both detained and non-detained immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, if the Trump administration changes which cases are prioritized, that only affects people who are \u003cem>already\u003c/em> going to court for an active removal proceeding. But Martínez said that the huge media attention Trump gets from his threats against immigrants without permanent legal status ends up creating a perception of fear — and that’s by design, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The federal government is more likely going to do the things that can get the Trump administration visibility, so he can show off to his supporters that he’s doing what he said he would do,” she said. “Most likely what we might face is instead a culture of terror against the immigrant community … they only have to detain a few people for the fear to really reverberate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if you’re not in an active removal proceeding, experts still recommend checking in with an immigration attorney on what your best options are, depending on your specific situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>If you’re on DACA, what can you do?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>If you are currently one of the more than 800,000 people nationally on DACA and \u003ca href=\"https://unitedwedream.org/resources/daca-renewal-all-the-information-you-need-to-know-if-you-are-looking-to-renew/\">are eligible to renew this protection\u003c/a>, advocates recommend you talk to your attorney as soon as you can about a DACA renewal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is because it’s not just the incoming Trump administration that is looking to change — or eliminate — the program; a federal court that has gained a reputation for hardline immigration decisions\u003ca href=\"https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/10/daca-undocumented-youth-deportation-trump-harris-2024-fifth-circuit/\"> is currently reviewing the legality of DACA\u003c/a>. With this in mind, you may want to talk with a lawyer about if there’s anything else related to your situation that could be turned into a lawful status, Martínez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Remember: According to the federal government, \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/consideration-of-deferred-action-for-childhood-arrivals-daca/frequently-asked-questions\">anyone who has DACA entered the country unlawfully\u003c/a>. Having an “unlawful entry” on your record makes it very difficult for DACA recipients to then gain permanent status through marriage or employee sponsorship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But “DACA does have provisions that allow people to get \u003ca href=\"https://unitedwedream.org/resources/daca-prep-session-4-daca-renewals-and-applying-for-advance-parole/\">advance parole\u003c/a>: when [recipients] are able to travel outside the country for very special reasons, such as educational purposes, medical emergencies or going to visit a family member who is about to pass away,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if you can obtain advance parole, Martínez said, that could \u003cem>potentially\u003c/em> improve your chances of improving your situation. If you leave the country, fulfill the purpose of that travel and then reenter on your advance parole, “you are no longer without lawful entry,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having a lawful entry on your record may help when applying for a lawful status, she said. “If there are DACAmented people out there who could be eligible for this advance parole,” Martínez said, “this would be the time to do it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12014518\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12014518\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/GettyImages-841662300_edited.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1170\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/GettyImages-841662300_edited.png 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/GettyImages-841662300_edited-800x488.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/GettyImages-841662300_edited-1020x622.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/GettyImages-841662300_edited-160x98.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/GettyImages-841662300_edited-1536x936.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Young immigrants and supporters walk holding signs during a rally in support of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) in Los Angeles, California, on Sept. 1, 2017. \u003ccite>(Frederic J.

One difficult question adults with children who are U.S. citizens should consider when making an emergency plan is, she said, “Who should care for children if parents are deported?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Parents may be able to fill out a standby guardianship, for example, or some other kind of estate planning documents around nominating who they would want to take care of their child if something were to happen to them,” Sakimura said. She said that it’s best to talk to a lawyer now about preparing legal and financial documents and how to address specific needs children may have if parents are suddenly placed in the custody of immigration officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Remember, the Constitution still protects you…\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In the summer of 2019, during the last Trump presidency, ICE announced that it would carry out \u003ca href=\"https://www.univision.com/noticias/inmigracion/comienza-el-operativo-de-ice-para-arrestar-a-indocumentados-con-orden-de-deportacion-final\">large-scale raids to detain immigrants who lack permanent legal status across the country\u003c/a>.

Keep reading to hear from experts, keeping in mind that each immigration situation is unique — and that for specific recommendations, it is best to talk to a licensed attorney about your individual case.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Who would first be impacted by Trump’s immigration policies?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Trump may make a lot of promises on the campaign trail, but it’s important to question what he actually can do as president, said Lourdes Martínez, co-directing attorney of the immigrants’ rights practice at \u003ca href=\"https://www.centrolegal.org/\">Centro Legal de la Raza\u003c/a>, a legal services nonprofit in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The truth is,” Martínez said, “big changes to the law move very slowly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Something she reminds her clients is that Joe Biden is still the president until Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20. Until then, Trump can’t make any changes to immigration policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And once Trump is in office, she added, he will most likely focus on things he can change quickly without needing to go through Congress. Martínez said these would include security along the U.S.-Mexico border or the way that the federal government handles \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/laws-and-policy/other-resources/immigration-benefits-in-eoir-removal-proceedings\">active removal proceedings\u003c/a> (when a judge decides if an immigrant who lacks permanent legal status should be deported from the country.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s where lawyers are going to focus,” she said. “People who already have a case in court, especially those who are in removal proceedings.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If that’s you, Martínez said — or a loved one — “I think it would be wise” to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12013522/free-legal-aid-in-the-bay-area-how-it-works-where-to-find-it\">check in with a lawyer as soon as possible\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How do you know if you are in a removal proceeding?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The Executive Office of Immigration Review (EOIR) at the Department of Justice manages immigration courts, and if you’re in an active removal proceeding, they should have sent you a letter in the mail with the details of your next hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you \u003cem>haven’t\u003c/em> received a letter from EOIR, you can call the immigration court managing your case and have \u003ca href=\"https://acis.eoir.justice.gov/en/\">your Alien Registration Number\u003c/a> (A-Number) ready — it’s a number that you can find on documents you have received from U.S. immigration officials.

They have a history of detention. They know they were detained. And they’ll have some paperwork.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In active removal proceedings, a Trump White House could exert influence upon which cases are given priority. According to the National Immigration Law Center, this is called “prosecutorial discretion”: \u003ca href=\"https://www.nilc.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/president-legal-authority-2014-08-20.pdf\">the power to decide whom to investigate, arrest, detain, charge and prosecute\u003c/a>. According to \u003ca href=\"https://homeland.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/24-01143-ICEs-Signed-Response-to-Representative-Tony-Gonzales.pdf\">data from Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE)\u003c/a>, there are over 662,500 noncitizens with criminal histories on this agency’s list of pending or ongoing cases, and that includes both detained and non-detained immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, if the Trump administration changes which cases are prioritized, that only affects people who are \u003cem>already\u003c/em> going to court for an active removal proceeding. But Martínez said that the huge media attention Trump gets from his threats against immigrants without permanent legal status ends up creating a perception of fear — and that’s by design, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The federal government is more likely going to do the things that can get the Trump administration visibility, so he can show off to his supporters that he’s doing what he said he would do,” she said. “Most likely what we might face is instead a culture of terror against the immigrant community … they only have to detain a few people for the fear to really reverberate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if you’re not in an active removal proceeding, experts still recommend checking in with an immigration attorney on what your best options are, depending on your specific situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>If you’re on DACA, what can you do?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>If you are currently one of the more than 800,000 people nationally on DACA and \u003ca href=\"https://unitedwedream.org/resources/daca-renewal-all-the-information-you-need-to-know-if-you-are-looking-to-renew/\">are eligible to renew this protection\u003c/a>, advocates recommend you talk to your attorney as soon as you can about a DACA renewal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is because it’s not just the incoming Trump administration that is looking to change — or eliminate — the program; a federal court that has gained a reputation for hardline immigration decisions\u003ca href=\"https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/10/daca-undocumented-youth-deportation-trump-harris-2024-fifth-circuit/\"> is currently reviewing the legality of DACA\u003c/a>. With this in mind, you may want to talk with a lawyer about if there’s anything else related to your situation that could be turned into a lawful status, Martínez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Remember: According to the federal government, \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/consideration-of-deferred-action-for-childhood-arrivals-daca/frequently-asked-questions\">anyone who has DACA entered the country unlawfully\u003c/a>. Having an “unlawful entry” on your record makes it very difficult for DACA recipients to then gain permanent status through marriage or employee sponsorship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But “DACA does have provisions that allow people to get \u003ca href=\"https://unitedwedream.org/resources/daca-prep-session-4-daca-renewals-and-applying-for-advance-parole/\">advance parole\u003c/a>: when [recipients] are able to travel outside the country for very special reasons, such as educational purposes, medical emergencies or going to visit a family member who is about to pass away,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if you can obtain advance parole, Martínez said, that could \u003cem>potentially\u003c/em> improve your chances of improving your situation. If you leave the country, fulfill the purpose of that travel and then reenter on your advance parole, “you are no longer without lawful entry,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having a lawful entry on your record may help when applying for a lawful status, she said. “If there are DACAmented people out there who could be eligible for this advance parole,” Martínez said, “this would be the time to do it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12014518\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12014518\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/GettyImages-841662300_edited.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1170\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/GettyImages-841662300_edited.png 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/GettyImages-841662300_edited-800x488.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/GettyImages-841662300_edited-1020x622.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/GettyImages-841662300_edited-160x98.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/GettyImages-841662300_edited-1536x936.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Young immigrants and supporters walk holding signs during a rally in support of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) in Los Angeles, California, on Sept. 1, 2017. \u003ccite>(Frederic J.

Its co-founder and CEO Tom Harries explains their simple, four-step process: Step one is gently washing your body and wrapping it in a biodegradable shroud. Step two is placing the body on a bed of organic mulch, wood chip, and wildflower. Step three is optimizing temperature, moisture, and oxygen levels that creates the perfect conditions for microbes to break the body down. And step four is you’re left with nutrient-rich soil.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/capitol/2024/08/school-security-california-bill/\">\u003cb>When Should Police Be Involved At School?

However, immigration law also states that those who have been in the U.S. without legal immigration status are \u003ca href=\"https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/research/three-and-ten-year-bars\">barred from re-entering\u003c/a>, often for 10 years and sometimes longer. That has created a Catch-22 for undocumented immigrants, including spouses of U.S. citizens, who would otherwise be entitled to a green card.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new program offers “parole in place,” or the ability to apply for legal admission to the U.S. while already here, on a case-by-case basis to noncitizens who:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Entered without authorization;\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Have lived in the U.S. continuously for at least 10 years;\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Are married to a U.S. citizen;\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Have no felony convictions or current criminal charges;\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Have not been ordered deported;\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Undergo background checks and national security and public safety screenings.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>It’s also available to undocumented immigrants under age 21 who are stepchildren of U.S. citizens and have a noncitizen parent married to that citizen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement released Monday, the director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Ur Jaddou, said the process is geared toward noncitizens “who contribute to and have long standing connections within American communities across the country.”[aside label=\"More Stories about DACA\" tag=\"daca\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Too often, noncitizen spouses of U.S. citizens — many of them mothers and fathers — live with uncertainty,” said Jaddou. “This process to keep U.S. families together will remove these undue barriers for those who would otherwise qualify to live and work lawfully in the U.S.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of those parents is Brenda Valle, 35, a student enrollment administrator and mother of two young sons, who spoke at the CHIRLA press conference in Los Angeles Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valle, who says she was brought to the U.S. as a 3-year-old, has protection from deportation and a renewable two-year work permit under DACA, or \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/DACA\">Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals\u003c/a>. But that protection is temporary, and until now, she had no way to legalize her status, even though as the spouse of a U.S. citizen, she’s technically entitled to become a citizen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It brings a sense of relief I can barely put into words,” said Valle. “I look forward to the day when I can focus on long-term goals … and leave behind the constant worry of what would happen to my children if we were separated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Spreading the word\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Immigrant rights groups are beginning to host information sessions and \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/chirlausa/videos/466790242806055\">spread the word about the program through social media\u003c/a>. CHIRLA is hosting presentations three days a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The East Bay Sanctuary Covenant in Berkeley has started weekly information sessions over Zoom. The group’s immigration legal services manager, Shiori Akimoto, said she thinks the program will be especially beneficial for young adults with DACA because they’re likely to meet the criteria.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“DACA recipients have been in the U.S. since 2007, and many are married to U.S. citizens,” said Akimoto. “We have more than 1,000 DACA clients, and out of those, at least 200 may qualify.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other groups were taking a more cautious approach, with some lawyers complaining that the government had been slow to release the rules of the program. At Centro Legal de la Raza in Oakland, attorney Lourdes Martínez said her team is consulting with other groups in the area before setting up legal clinics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I expect this will be a very hot topic for many mixed households in our community,” she said. “We are training our staff, talking to partners and gearing up to respond to our community’s interest in the program.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Janet Reyes the thought of her husband Marco applying for legal immigration status generated both hope and apprehension. She said they plan to meet with their lawyer this week and find out whether he recommends applying now or seeing how the presidential election turns out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve been waiting so long anyway, so it’s okay,” she said. “We’ll wait a little more.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

We just don’t understand why having U.S. citizens actually take advantage of their right as citizens to petition for their families is threatening to anybody in the United States.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics on the right called the Biden executive order unconstitutional and suggested Vice President Kamala Harris would go further in granting legal status to undocumented immigrants if elected president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This illegal and unlegislated amnesty for half a million illegal aliens is just a cat’s paw for what is likely to come in a future administration if it is allowed to stand,” said Dan Stein, president of the conservative Federation for American Immigration Reform.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How the program works\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Under current law, noncitizens who entered the country illegally cannot become legal residents without leaving and re-entering lawfully through an official port of entry. However, immigration law also states that those who have been in the U.S. without legal immigration status are \u003ca href=\"https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/research/three-and-ten-year-bars\">barred from re-entering\u003c/a>, often for 10 years and sometimes longer. That has created a Catch-22 for undocumented immigrants, including spouses of U.S. citizens, who would otherwise be entitled to a green card.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new program offers “parole in place,” or the ability to apply for legal admission to the U.S. while already here, on a case-by-case basis to noncitizens who:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Entered without authorization;\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Have lived in the U.S. continuously for at least 10 years;\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Are married to a U.S. citizen;\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Have no felony convictions or current criminal charges;\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Have not been ordered deported;\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Undergo background checks and national security and public safety screenings.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>It’s also available to undocumented immigrants under age 21 who are stepchildren of U.S. citizens and have a noncitizen parent married to that citizen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement released Monday, the director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Ur Jaddou, said the process is geared toward noncitizens “who contribute to and have long standing connections within American communities across the country.”\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But that protection is temporary, and until now, she had no way to legalize her status, even though as the spouse of a U.S. citizen, she’s technically entitled to become a citizen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It brings a sense of relief I can barely put into words,” said Valle. “I look forward to the day when I can focus on long-term goals … and leave behind the constant worry of what would happen to my children if we were separated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Spreading the word\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Immigrant rights groups are beginning to host information sessions and \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/chirlausa/videos/466790242806055\">spread the word about the program through social media\u003c/a>. CHIRLA is hosting presentations three days a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The East Bay Sanctuary Covenant in Berkeley has started weekly information sessions over Zoom. The group’s immigration legal services manager, Shiori Akimoto, said she thinks the program will be especially beneficial for young adults with DACA because they’re likely to meet the criteria.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“DACA recipients have been in the U.S. since 2007, and many are married to U.S. citizens,” said Akimoto. “We have more than 1,000 DACA clients, and out of those, at least 200 may qualify.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other groups were taking a more cautious approach, with some lawyers complaining that the government had been slow to release the rules of the program. At Centro Legal de la Raza in Oakland, attorney Lourdes Martínez said her team is consulting with other groups in the area before setting up legal clinics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I expect this will be a very hot topic for many mixed households in our community,” she said. “We are training our staff, talking to partners and gearing up to respond to our community’s interest in the program.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Janet Reyes the thought of her husband Marco applying for legal immigration status generated both hope and apprehension. She said they plan to meet with their lawyer this week and find out whether he recommends applying now or seeing how the presidential election turns out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He added that the UC Immigrant Legal Services Center offered immigration consultation workshops for recipient employees last summer, “many of which identified eligibility for employment, family or humanitarian relief.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The University of California has a long record of support for DACA recipients, and we will continue to support our students, staff and faculty regardless of their immigration status,” Holbrook said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The University of California is also currently \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2023/uc-signals-support-for-hiring-of-undocumented-students-following-six-month-study/690855\">considering a proposal\u003c/a> to allow the university to hire students who do not have work permits under DACA. A coalition of immigrant students and allies, including legal scholars at UCLA and elsewhere, have argued that a federal law barring hiring immigrants living in the country without permission doesn’t apply to state entities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California State University and California Community Colleges offer free legal services to employees with temporary work permits. However, advocates said many faculty and staff are unaware that these services are not just for students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Melissa Villarin, spokesperson for the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office, said the community colleges have also recently included resources for staff and faculty during the annual Undocumented Student Action Week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Díaz also recommended more training for university staff about DACA recipients. She said survey respondents said there was a lack of awareness or understanding among other staff and faculty about their colleagues living in the country illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was just no knowledge by institutions of higher ed about even having undocumented staff and faculty on campus,” Díaz said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said lack of awareness can lead to insensitivity. At one point, for example, she said a human resources director asked her why she didn’t just fix her status or apply for a green card, not understanding that Díaz, like most immigrants who entered or stayed in the U.S. illegally, didn’t have a way to apply for a green card without leaving the country and possibly having to stay out for up to 10 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yang said universities should do more to highlight the stories of staff covered by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program “so that people in the public know that there are professional staff who are also potentially without any protection or support.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the challenges these immigrants face, Rodríguez, from the Presidents’ Alliance on Higher Education and Immigration, said they should be commended for their work. “They’re very involved in the students’ lives because they’re able to create such strong bonds with the students,” she said. “They’re some of the most exceptional and brilliant practitioners that I’ve come across in higher education.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2023/faculty-staff-urge-california-colleges-to-make-backup-plans-in-case-daca-ends/702129\">This story was originally published by EdSource.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\n",

He added that the UC Immigrant Legal Services Center offered immigration consultation workshops for recipient employees last summer, “many of which identified eligibility for employment, family or humanitarian relief.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The University of California has a long record of support for DACA recipients, and we will continue to support our students, staff and faculty regardless of their immigration status,” Holbrook said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The University of California is also currently \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2023/uc-signals-support-for-hiring-of-undocumented-students-following-six-month-study/690855\">considering a proposal\u003c/a> to allow the university to hire students who do not have work permits under DACA. A coalition of immigrant students and allies, including legal scholars at UCLA and elsewhere, have argued that a federal law barring hiring immigrants living in the country without permission doesn’t apply to state entities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California State University and California Community Colleges offer free legal services to employees with temporary work permits. However, advocates said many faculty and staff are unaware that these services are not just for students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Melissa Villarin, spokesperson for the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office, said the community colleges have also recently included resources for staff and faculty during the annual Undocumented Student Action Week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Díaz also recommended more training for university staff about DACA recipients. She said survey respondents said there was a lack of awareness or understanding among other staff and faculty about their colleagues living in the country illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was just no knowledge by institutions of higher ed about even having undocumented staff and faculty on campus,” Díaz said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said lack of awareness can lead to insensitivity. At one point, for example, she said a human resources director asked her why she didn’t just fix her status or apply for a green card, not understanding that Díaz, like most immigrants who entered or stayed in the U.S. illegally, didn’t have a way to apply for a green card without leaving the country and possibly having to stay out for up to 10 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yang said universities should do more to highlight the stories of staff covered by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program “so that people in the public know that there are professional staff who are also potentially without any protection or support.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the challenges these immigrants face, Rodríguez, from the Presidents’ Alliance on Higher Education and Immigration, said they should be commended for their work. “They’re very involved in the students’ lives because they’re able to create such strong bonds with the students,” she said. “They’re some of the most exceptional and brilliant practitioners that I’ve come across in higher education.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Those included crowdfunding and seeking out private scholarships that did not require citizenship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was basically the Wild, Wild West, where everybody was sort of on their own,” Yang said. “Even though many people were going through the same thing, there just wasn’t enough unification across the institutions and in the state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That drastically changed with the passing of Assembly Bill 540 in 2001, exempting some students who attended California high schools but were not legal California residents from paying nonresident tuition at public universities. The 2011 California Dream Act made those same students eligible for state financial aid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet undocumented students still struggle financially. Student centers for undocumented students across universities work with local nonprofits and their own institutions to disseminate information about professional opportunities through flyers, social media or just word of mouth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some (undocumented students) will pay out of pocket, with potential work under the table,” said Yang.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2019, the California Student Aid Commission launched the California Dream Act Service Incentive Grant Program, allowing lower-income California Dream Act students with a minimum high school GPA of 2.00 to perform community service and receive as much as $2,250 per semester.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The program had space for 2,500 students, but \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/Publications/Report/4548\">only 100 had signed up by fall of 2021\u003c/a>, according to a report from the California Legislative Analyst’s Office. The pandemic had disrupted service opportunities, and students might have been looking for higher-paying gigs, the report found. This program is now merging with College Corps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>College Corps was intentional about working with trusted messengers to reach the undocumented community, said Fryday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We did a lot of outreach in multiple languages,” he said. “We did a lot of specific Spanish earned media and interviews to make sure that we’re reaching parents of these students, which we found to be a very effective way to motivate students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>College Corps hopes to use its success as leverage to get the state Legislature to expand the program to more college campuses, Fryday said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Delgado Medrano said it’s sometimes hard navigating the maze of career preparation and figuring out which opportunities are open to AB 540 students. “I wish I could live my life without these small things. I wish I could enjoy my time at Davis. But I can’t because I have to read the fine print,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, she hasn’t given up on her goal of becoming a pediatrician. Because she wouldn’t qualify for a medical license now, she said, she plans to start by getting her master’s degree in counseling or psychology and gaining more experience working with children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know as long as I follow the track, it will eventually pay off in the end,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Carmen González is a fellow with the \u003ca href=\"http://www.calmatters.org/projects/college-journalism-network\">CalMatters College Journalism Network\u003c/a>, a collaboration between CalMatters and student journalists from across California.

Those included crowdfunding and seeking out private scholarships that did not require citizenship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was basically the Wild, Wild West, where everybody was sort of on their own,” Yang said. “Even though many people were going through the same thing, there just wasn’t enough unification across the institutions and in the state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That drastically changed with the passing of Assembly Bill 540 in 2001, exempting some students who attended California high schools but were not legal California residents from paying nonresident tuition at public universities. The 2011 California Dream Act made those same students eligible for state financial aid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet undocumented students still struggle financially. Student centers for undocumented students across universities work with local nonprofits and their own institutions to disseminate information about professional opportunities through flyers, social media or just word of mouth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some (undocumented students) will pay out of pocket, with potential work under the table,” said Yang.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2019, the California Student Aid Commission launched the California Dream Act Service Incentive Grant Program, allowing lower-income California Dream Act students with a minimum high school GPA of 2.00 to perform community service and receive as much as $2,250 per semester.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The program had space for 2,500 students, but \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/Publications/Report/4548\">only 100 had signed up by fall of 2021\u003c/a>, according to a report from the California Legislative Analyst’s Office. The pandemic had disrupted service opportunities, and students might have been looking for higher-paying gigs, the report found. This program is now merging with College Corps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>College Corps was intentional about working with trusted messengers to reach the undocumented community, said Fryday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We did a lot of outreach in multiple languages,” he said. “We did a lot of specific Spanish earned media and interviews to make sure that we’re reaching parents of these students, which we found to be a very effective way to motivate students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>College Corps hopes to use its success as leverage to get the state Legislature to expand the program to more college campuses, Fryday said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Delgado Medrano said it’s sometimes hard navigating the maze of career preparation and figuring out which opportunities are open to AB 540 students. “I wish I could live my life without these small things. I wish I could enjoy my time at Davis. But I can’t because I have to read the fine print,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, she hasn’t given up on her goal of becoming a pediatrician. Because she wouldn’t qualify for a medical license now, she said, she plans to start by getting her master’s degree in counseling or psychology and gaining more experience working with children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know as long as I follow the track, it will eventually pay off in the end,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Carmen González is a fellow with the \u003ca href=\"http://www.calmatters.org/projects/college-journalism-network\">CalMatters College Journalism Network\u003c/a>, a collaboration between CalMatters and student journalists from across California.

Over the decade it has \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/reports/DACA_performancedata_fy2022_qtr1.pdf\">benefited roughly 835,000\u003c/a> young undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children. More than a quarter of them call California home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But today, DACA’s future is uncertain. And so is the future of the people who’ve come to rely on it, including Hong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, he was working for Alameda County as a grants administrator. But \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11881855/tired-of-living-in-limbo-daca-application-backlog-puts-immigrant-lives-on-hold\">his work permit expired\u003c/a> when his DACA renewal application got caught in a federal backlog. And overnight, Hong was let go from his job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was a wake-up call for me that I'm still vulnerable, that I'm still in this limbo status,” he said. “DACA is still temporary.”[aside postID=\"news_11913665,news_11885260,news_11881855\" label=\"Related Posts\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hong mobilized, and got 600 supporters to call Congress. Within days, his DACA protection was renewed. And he probably could have gotten his job back. But after that experience, he decided to work full-time for immigrants’ rights. Today, he’s the director of \u003ca href=\"https://www.labor.ucla.edu/what-we-do/dream-resource-center/\">UCLA’s Dream Resource Center\u003c/a>, which supports undocumented students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s committed to the work, and pushing for a path to citizenship for all 11 million undocumented immigrants in the country — including his mother and older sister. But it wears on him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's very frustrating, and it’s tiring, too, sometimes, to wait for politicians to prioritize the immigrant community,” said Hong. “It's a lot of mixed emotions as we're entering into this 10th-year DACA anniversary.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DACA was always a stopgap measure: an executive action Obama took because Congress hadn’t passed the Dream Act, which would offer permanent legal residence — that path to citizenship — for young undocumented immigrants brought to the country as children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama was persuaded to act after years of outspoken activism by \"Dreamers\" — young undocumented immigrants who’d grown up in the U.S. and were yearning to build a life here legally.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Coming out and risking deportation\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Yahaira Carrillo was one of those activists. She was 7 when her mother brought her from Mexico to California so they could reunite with Carrillo’s dad. He was a farmworker in the Central Valley, and later found a job in a bakery in Napa, the same town where her mother worked as a cleaner at a nursing home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11917177\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/06/RS24952_20170414_YahairaCarrillo_Credit_BertJohnson-3-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11917177 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/06/RS24952_20170414_YahairaCarrillo_Credit_BertJohnson-3-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"A Latina woman with long, thick, wavy dark brown hair and a gold hoop earring looks directly at the camera, unsmiling.

She said her parents taught her to drive when she was 9 so that if anything happened to them, she could reach safety with other relatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It felt like you could go to work and end up deported, you could go to the market and end up deported,” she said. “I didn’t want to live with that hanging over my head.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After years of keeping her head down and striving to be a model student, Carrillo began organizing for the Dream Act. Then, in 2010, she took a bold step: She and four other college students staged a sit-in at the Arizona office of the late Senator John McCain — and she was arrested. She says she risked deportation with the sit-in because she was at the end of her rope.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was feeling like I was going to be stuck,” she said. “And that all of my personal effort, but also all of my mother's effort in trying to provide for me, was going to be wasted.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carrillo had come out of the closet once already, telling her loved ones she was queer. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11405917/queer-and-undocumented-a-powerful-force-in-the-dreamer-movement\">Along with other LGBTQ+ immigrant advocates\u003c/a>, she realized there was a similar power in having the courage to come out as undocumented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The sit-in at Sen. McCain's office was a more extreme version of that, of really scaling it up a notch,” she said. “But it started from coming out of the shadows and it was very much steeped in queer history and of coming out and sharing our stories.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When DACA was created, Carrillo applied, but she got rejected. The program has strict requirements to prove you’ve been in the U.S. continuously since 2007. And not everyone can come up with all the school records, utility bills and other paperwork to document their presence for every single month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carrillo did eventually get permanent residence, as the result of a terrible circumstance: She was a survivor of domestic violence. Her lawyer told her about one of the only avenues for undocumented people to become legal immigrants: Under a 2000 law, crime victims are eligible for a U visa, and later a green card, if they cooperate with the police. She can apply for citizenship next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others are not so fortunate. The Dream Act was first introduced in Congress in 2001, but despite strong support from voters of both parties in public opinion polls, it has never been enacted. A \u003ca href=\"https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/6\">version of the bill\u003c/a> passed the House of Representatives last year — and could benefit 2.3 million \"Dreamers.\" But it’s stuck in the U.S. Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Democratic Senator Alex Padilla has been trying to break the logjam, with bipartisan talks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What frustrates me the most is a lot of my Republican colleagues will tell me in private that they're supportive of Dreamers but don't seem to be willing to say so or act accordingly publicly when it comes to being able to support legislation,” Padilla told KQED. “So the fact that we’ve resumed negotiations is encouraging, and I'm going to keep pressing for it until we get it done.\u003cem>”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear, though, that he can win over the 10 or more Republicans he would need for the bill to pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A pivotal moment with DACA's future at stake\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, DACA has survived in the courts, but barely. In 2017 President Trump declared an end to the program. Legal challenges went all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court, and in 2020 the justices ruled that Trump’s termination had violated proper procedure, so DACA could stand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11881668/after-texas-court-ruling-whats-the-future-for-young-immigrants-and-daca-recipients\">another case, filed by Texas and six other states, is challenging the program’s legality\u003c/a>. Last year a federal judge in Texas blocked the government from considering new DACA applications as the case proceeds. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit will hear the case on July 6, and it could reach the Supreme Court next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>University of Pennsylvania sociologist \u003ca href=\"https://sociology.sas.upenn.edu/people/roberto-gonzales\">Roberto Gonzales \u003c/a>has followed the life paths of hundreds of undocumented young people in Los Angeles. He says this is a pivotal moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The question becomes, do we make good on the promise of DACA that has really catapulted young adults in this country into better lives? Or do we leave them without answers to their future?” asked Gonzales. “It's a critical question right now. And I think it will really define this contemporary moment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzales called DACA “probably the most successful policy of immigrant integration in the last several decades.” And, he said, it’s not just \"Dreamers\" like Hong who will lose out if the program is wiped away. It’s a loss for the whole country to forfeit their talents and the contributions they make to the economy and their communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Immigration has always been a contentious issue,” he said. “And that issue has been framed around this question of who belongs in the ‘we’ of our nation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Twelve days too late\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>As the years go by, fewer and fewer young people can qualify for DACA. That’s because the rules say an immigrant has to have been in the U.S. since June 15, 2007. By some estimates, \u003ca href=\"https://www.fwd.us/news/undocumented-high-school-graduates/\">the majority of this year’s 100,000 undocumented high school graduates\u003c/a> have missed the program’s cutoff date.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jennifer is a 20-year-old high school graduate in Oakland. She came from El Salvador with her grandmother when she was 5. We’re not using her last name because she’s undocumented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I didn't qualify for it because I came here 12 days too late,” she said. “It made me feel really sad, very disappointed, because I really had high hopes for it, thinking that it was going to work out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jennifer says she wants to go to college and study for a job in the health professions, a plan that was inspired by an aunt who became a doctor. For now, she’s getting by working in a fast food restaurant, under the table.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

And he probably could have gotten his job back. But after that experience, he decided to work full-time for immigrants’ rights. Today, he’s the director of \u003ca href=\"https://www.labor.ucla.edu/what-we-do/dream-resource-center/\">UCLA’s Dream Resource Center\u003c/a>, which supports undocumented students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s committed to the work, and pushing for a path to citizenship for all 11 million undocumented immigrants in the country — including his mother and older sister. But it wears on him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's very frustrating, and it’s tiring, too, sometimes, to wait for politicians to prioritize the immigrant community,” said Hong. “It's a lot of mixed emotions as we're entering into this 10th-year DACA anniversary.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DACA was always a stopgap measure: an executive action Obama took because Congress hadn’t passed the Dream Act, which would offer permanent legal residence — that path to citizenship — for young undocumented immigrants brought to the country as children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama was persuaded to act after years of outspoken activism by \"Dreamers\" — young undocumented immigrants who’d grown up in the U.S. and were yearning to build a life here legally.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Coming out and risking deportation\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Yahaira Carrillo was one of those activists. She was 7 when her mother brought her from Mexico to California so they could reunite with Carrillo’s dad. He was a farmworker in the Central Valley, and later found a job in a bakery in Napa, the same town where her mother worked as a cleaner at a nursing home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11917177\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/06/RS24952_20170414_YahairaCarrillo_Credit_BertJohnson-3-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11917177 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/06/RS24952_20170414_YahairaCarrillo_Credit_BertJohnson-3-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"A Latina woman with long, thick, wavy dark brown hair and a gold hoop earring looks directly at the camera, unsmiling.

She said her parents taught her to drive when she was 9 so that if anything happened to them, she could reach safety with other relatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It felt like you could go to work and end up deported, you could go to the market and end up deported,” she said. “I didn’t want to live with that hanging over my head.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After years of keeping her head down and striving to be a model student, Carrillo began organizing for the Dream Act. Then, in 2010, she took a bold step: She and four other college students staged a sit-in at the Arizona office of the late Senator John McCain — and she was arrested. She says she risked deportation with the sit-in because she was at the end of her rope.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was feeling like I was going to be stuck,” she said. “And that all of my personal effort, but also all of my mother's effort in trying to provide for me, was going to be wasted.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carrillo had come out of the closet once already, telling her loved ones she was queer. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11405917/queer-and-undocumented-a-powerful-force-in-the-dreamer-movement\">Along with other LGBTQ+ immigrant advocates\u003c/a>, she realized there was a similar power in having the courage to come out as undocumented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The sit-in at Sen. McCain's office was a more extreme version of that, of really scaling it up a notch,” she said. “But it started from coming out of the shadows and it was very much steeped in queer history and of coming out and sharing our stories.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When DACA was created, Carrillo applied, but she got rejected. The program has strict requirements to prove you’ve been in the U.S. continuously since 2007. And not everyone can come up with all the school records, utility bills and other paperwork to document their presence for every single month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carrillo did eventually get permanent residence, as the result of a terrible circumstance: She was a survivor of domestic violence. Her lawyer told her about one of the only avenues for undocumented people to become legal immigrants: Under a 2000 law, crime victims are eligible for a U visa, and later a green card, if they cooperate with the police. She can apply for citizenship next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others are not so fortunate. The Dream Act was first introduced in Congress in 2001, but despite strong support from voters of both parties in public opinion polls, it has never been enacted. A \u003ca href=\"https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/6\">version of the bill\u003c/a> passed the House of Representatives last year — and could benefit 2.3 million \"Dreamers.\" But it’s stuck in the U.S. Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Democratic Senator Alex Padilla has been trying to break the logjam, with bipartisan talks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What frustrates me the most is a lot of my Republican colleagues will tell me in private that they're supportive of Dreamers but don't seem to be willing to say so or act accordingly publicly when it comes to being able to support legislation,” Padilla told KQED. “So the fact that we’ve resumed negotiations is encouraging, and I'm going to keep pressing for it until we get it done.\u003cem>”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear, though, that he can win over the 10 or more Republicans he would need for the bill to pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A pivotal moment with DACA's future at stake\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, DACA has survived in the courts, but barely. In 2017 President Trump declared an end to the program. Legal challenges went all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court, and in 2020 the justices ruled that Trump’s termination had violated proper procedure, so DACA could stand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11881668/after-texas-court-ruling-whats-the-future-for-young-immigrants-and-daca-recipients\">another case, filed by Texas and six other states, is challenging the program’s legality\u003c/a>. Last year a federal judge in Texas blocked the government from considering new DACA applications as the case proceeds. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit will hear the case on July 6, and it could reach the Supreme Court next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>University of Pennsylvania sociologist \u003ca href=\"https://sociology.sas.upenn.edu/people/roberto-gonzales\">Roberto Gonzales \u003c/a>has followed the life paths of hundreds of undocumented young people in Los Angeles. He says this is a pivotal moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The question becomes, do we make good on the promise of DACA that has really catapulted young adults in this country into better lives? Or do we leave them without answers to their future?” asked Gonzales. “It's a critical question right now. And I think it will really define this contemporary moment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzales called DACA “probably the most successful policy of immigrant integration in the last several decades.” And, he said, it’s not just \"Dreamers\" like Hong who will lose out if the program is wiped away. It’s a loss for the whole country to forfeit their talents and the contributions they make to the economy and their communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Immigration has always been a contentious issue,” he said. “And that issue has been framed around this question of who belongs in the ‘we’ of our nation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Twelve days too late\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>As the years go by, fewer and fewer young people can qualify for DACA. That’s because the rules say an immigrant has to have been in the U.S. since June 15, 2007. By some estimates, \u003ca href=\"https://www.fwd.us/news/undocumented-high-school-graduates/\">the majority of this year’s 100,000 undocumented high school graduates\u003c/a> have missed the program’s cutoff date.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jennifer is a 20-year-old high school graduate in Oakland. She came from El Salvador with her grandmother when she was 5. We’re not using her last name because she’s undocumented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I didn't qualify for it because I came here 12 days too late,” she said. “It made me feel really sad, very disappointed, because I really had high hopes for it, thinking that it was going to work out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jennifer says she wants to go to college and study for a job in the health professions, a plan that was inspired by an aunt who became a doctor. For now, she’s getting by working in a fast food restaurant, under the table.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
