Some school districts scraped together money to keep the programs running through summer, but others canceled programs altogether and laid off staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Butte County Office of Education, which oversees the Mini-Corps program for the state, laid off more than 400 employees as a result of the cuts. The Santa Clara County Office of Education laid off 22 staff and shuttered many services for migrant students, including college visits, a math and science program, a debate tournament and summer programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our hope is that we find some other finding source,” said Tad Alexander, deputy superintendent of the Butte County Office of Education. “But right now it feels like they’re trying to bleed it out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>On the move with the harvest\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Nearly 80,000 students in California are migrants, moving every few months with their parents for work, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://mephelpcenter.wested.org/hc/en-us/articles/34555377299988-2023-24-Migrant-Re-interview-Report\">recent report by West Ed\u003c/a>, an educational research and development organization. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could mean winter in Porterville for the orange harvest, spring in Salinas for strawberries, summer in Madera for peaches, fall in Oroville for almonds.

They’re either working in the fields themselves, caring for younger siblings or otherwise helping their families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But migrant students had relatively high graduation and college-going rates – primarily community college – in part thanks to the Migrant Education program. Students can get help with reading, math, science, English language skills, one-on-one tutoring, health and social-emotional support, and help enrolling in college and navigating life after high school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For nearly a century, the U.S. has offered services and protections to farm laborers from other countries. The Bracero program, an agreement between the U.S. and Mexico starting in 1942, allowed Mexican laborers to legally work in U.S. agricultural fields.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That program ended in 1964, but President Lyndon Johnson stepped in to enact a host of other programs that benefitted migrant laborers, including the landmark \u003ca href=\"https://www.lbjlibrary.org/news-and-press/media-kits/immigration-and-nationality-act\">Immigration and Nationality Act \u003c/a>and the Migrant Education program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early in his career, Johnson had worked as a teacher at a school along the Texas-Mexico border where most of his students were the children of immigrants. He helped teach them English, started sports and literary clubs and drove them to nearby towns for athletic and speech competitions. He used his first paycheck to buy playground equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That experience was the inspiration for the Migrant Education program as well as Johnson’s other anti-poverty programs from that era, according to the National Archives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Migrant Education program served about 270,000 students nationwide last year, and is among the smallest of the federal education grants. Of all the programs Trump defunded on July 1, Migrant Education has the lowest price tag: $121 million for California, $375 million nationwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘Dark times’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>De-funding the program has had a chilling effect on migrant families everywhere, said Debra Benitez, director of migrant education services for WestEd. Most migrant families deeply value education, she said, and are willing to make extraordinary sacrifices for their children to go to school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Migrant Education program allows that to happen, she said.[aside postID=news_12049156 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/250722-SUPERVISORBILALMAHMOODPB-11-BL-KQED.jpg']“This is a population of individuals who’ve dedicated their lives to agricultural labor, very difficult work which we know historically no one else is willing to do,” said Benitez, whose grandparents were migrant laborers in the San Joaquin Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All they want is for their children to be educated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She believes that defunding Migrant Education will ultimately hurt the economy because immigrants play such a crucial role in farming, dairy, fishing and other industries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These families who have historically worked as migratory farm laborers, their plight has long been hard and arduous. But they’re proud to contribute to California’s economy,” Benitez said. “And then there’s the human side of it. It’s painful. These feel like dark times.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Bilingual teacher pipeline\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Mini-Corps works with 28 colleges and universities in the state to train tutors to work in schools and camps. Tutors earn $17.25 an hour and gain classroom experience that can give them a leg up for a teaching career. Most are bilingual Spanish speakers, but some speak Punjabi, Chinese, Hmong and other languages of California migrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea is to help migrant children while also creating a pipeline of bilingual teachers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12049511\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1536px\">\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/070125_Migrant-Outdoor-Ed_LV_23-1.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/070125_Migrant-Outdoor-Ed_LV_23-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12049511\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/070125_Migrant-Outdoor-Ed_LV_23-1.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/070125_Migrant-Outdoor-Ed_LV_23-1-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Students of the Migrant Outdoor Education Program canoe along the San Joaquin River near the Scout Island Education Center in Fresno on July 11, 2025. \u003ccite>( Photo by Larry Valenzuela, CalMatters/CatchLight Local)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Daniel Martinez-Osornio worked as a Mini-Corps tutor for migrant children when he was a student at Cal State San Marcos. He spent his time at schools in Vista and San Marcos, helping students with classwork but also “building connections, helping kids so they didn’t feel called out or uncomfortable,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having grown up in Salinas, Martinez-Osornio understood the challenges that migrant students faced. Although his family didn’t move frequently for work, many of his cousins and friends did. With more than 4,300 migrant students, Monterey County has one of the highest percentages of migrant students in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know it’s tough. The parents are working all day, and kids have to be home to take care of their siblings — or be taken care of by siblings,” he said. “The kids just want someone to talk to about their day, what’s going on, express their feelings. They just want to have some happiness.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martinez-Osornio was so inspired by his work in the Mini-Corps program that he decided to become a teacher. He recently earned his credential at Stanford and hopes to be a bilingual elementary teacher in Salinas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was shocked when he heard that the federal government stopped funding the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It breaks my heart,” he said. “I just couldn’t believe it, considering the impact it has on kids and families. It’s generational impact.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Waiting and hoping\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Some counties have been able to salvage their summer migrant programs without laying off staff, at least for now. The Fresno County Office of Education, which has the state’s third-largest migrant program with 6,300 students, has converted half of its summer programming to a hybrid virtual format.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead of two weeks at an outdoor education camp called Scout Island, students will spend one week there and one week on other activities, including online learning.[aside postID=news_12049124 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/Out-of-ICE-SF-sign.jpg']Fresno County Superintendent of Schools Michele Cantwell-Copher said her office would continue to help migrant students as best it can, but it will likely have to make deep program cuts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“(This program) is a lifeline for thousands of students in Fresno County,” she said. “The students who are impacted by cuts to migrant services are the same students whose families put food on our tables. We will continue to advocate fiercely to ensure these young people get the support they deserve.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Imperial County, which has 3,543 migrant students, received nearly $5 million last year for its migrant education program. Nonetheless, the county doesn’t plan any layoffs or program cuts, in part because County Superintendent of Schools Todd Finnell said he’s confident that the federal money will come through eventually. Also, the program is worth keeping even without the federal resources, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our students and families benefit significantly from the program and any reduction or elimination would certainly be a loss in our mission to improve the quality of life in Imperial County,” Finnell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘Hope that you didn’t have before’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Yvette Medina, whose parents are laborers from Mexico, moved every few months as a child.

They’re either working in the fields themselves, caring for younger siblings or otherwise helping their families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But migrant students had relatively high graduation and college-going rates – primarily community college – in part thanks to the Migrant Education program. Students can get help with reading, math, science, English language skills, one-on-one tutoring, health and social-emotional support, and help enrolling in college and navigating life after high school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For nearly a century, the U.S. has offered services and protections to farm laborers from other countries. The Bracero program, an agreement between the U.S. and Mexico starting in 1942, allowed Mexican laborers to legally work in U.S. agricultural fields.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That program ended in 1964, but President Lyndon Johnson stepped in to enact a host of other programs that benefitted migrant laborers, including the landmark \u003ca href=\"https://www.lbjlibrary.org/news-and-press/media-kits/immigration-and-nationality-act\">Immigration and Nationality Act \u003c/a>and the Migrant Education program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early in his career, Johnson had worked as a teacher at a school along the Texas-Mexico border where most of his students were the children of immigrants. He helped teach them English, started sports and literary clubs and drove them to nearby towns for athletic and speech competitions. He used his first paycheck to buy playground equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That experience was the inspiration for the Migrant Education program as well as Johnson’s other anti-poverty programs from that era, according to the National Archives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Migrant Education program served about 270,000 students nationwide last year, and is among the smallest of the federal education grants. Of all the programs Trump defunded on July 1, Migrant Education has the lowest price tag: $121 million for California, $375 million nationwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘Dark times’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>De-funding the program has had a chilling effect on migrant families everywhere, said Debra Benitez, director of migrant education services for WestEd. Most migrant families deeply value education, she said, and are willing to make extraordinary sacrifices for their children to go to school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Migrant Education program allows that to happen, she said.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Protesters were seen shouting at agents wearing camouflage gear, helmets and gas masks. The billowing smoke drove protesters to retreat. It wasn’t clear why authorities threw the canisters or if they released chemicals such as tear gas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ventura County fire authorities responding to a 911 call of people having trouble breathing said three people were taken to nearby hospitals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the farm, agents arrested workers and removed them by bus.

Relatives of Jaime Alanis, who has worked picking tomatoes at the farm for 10 years, said he called his wife in Mexico during the raid to tell her immigration agents had arrived and that he was hiding with others inside the farm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The next thing we heard was that he was in the hospital with broken hands, ribs and a broken neck,” Juan Duran, Alanis’ brother-in-law, said in Spanish, his voice breaking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was not immediately clear how Alanis was injured. A doctor at Ventura County Medical Center told the family that those who brought Alanis to the hospital said he had fallen from the roof of a building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alanis had a broken neck, fractured skull and a rupture in an artery that pumps blood to the brain, said his niece Yesenia, who didn’t want to share her last name for fear of reprisal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They told us he won’t make it and to say goodbye,” Yesenia said, crying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hospital did not immediately respond to requests for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Confrontation with authorities\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>After immigration agents arrived at Glass House’s farm in Camarillo on Thursday morning, workers called family members to let them know authorities were there. Relatives and advocates headed to the farm some 50 miles (80 kilometers) northwest of downtown Los Angeles to try to find out what was going on, and began protesting outside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal authorities formed a line blocking the road leading through farm fields to the company’s greenhouses. Protesters were seen shouting at agents wearing camouflage gear, helmets and gas masks. The billowing smoke drove protesters to retreat. It wasn’t clear why authorities threw the canisters or if they released chemicals such as tear gas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ventura County fire authorities responding to a 911 call of people having trouble breathing said three people were taken to nearby hospitals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the farm, agents arrested workers and removed them by bus. Others, including U.S. citizens, were detained at the site for hours while agents investigated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The incident came as federal immigration agents have ramped up arrests in Southern California at car washes, \u003cspan class=\"LinkEnhancement\">\u003ca class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" href=\"https://apnews.com/article/immigration-raids-california-farmworkers-1301639766f55c8d4e8e15ff2fd45687\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\">farms\u003c/a>\u003c/span> and Home Depot parking lots, stoking \u003cspan class=\"LinkEnhancement\">\u003ca class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" href=\"https://apnews.com/article/los-angeles-ice-immigration-raids-sweeps-fear-d87e36664a8c5938865aad5520345348\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\">widespread fear\u003c/a>\u003c/span> among immigrant communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12047756\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12047756\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/AP25192726071193-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/AP25192726071193-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/AP25192726071193-2000x1333.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/AP25192726071193-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/AP25192726071193-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/AP25192726071193-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">People embrace outside of Glass House Farms, a day after an immigration raid on the facility, on Friday, July 11, 2025, in Camarillo, Calif. \u003ccite>(Damian Dovarganes/AP Photo)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Federal investigations\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The Department of Homeland Security said in a statement Friday that the investigation into immigration and potential child labor violations at the farm is ongoing.

His parents were farmworkers and were teenagers when he was born in 1968, the first of six children. The family did not have enough to eat, but Quiñones said their home was still filled with love, laughter and the rhythm of mariachi music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But there were some difficult times,” Quiñones said. “When I was about 3 years old, my little sister died.

He eventually graduated with a teaching license from a community college at the age of 18. Each summer, he would return to California, where his farming skills grew from pulling weeds to driving tractors and harvesters. But he despised the layer of dirt that coated his body at the end of each day, and he felt invisible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At 19, Quiñones made the final jump, leaving Mexico with $63. By the time he made it to Los Angeles, he was left with just three single-dollar bills. He hitchhiked to a farm near Fresno, hoping it would be the last time he picked tomatoes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At the time, my cousin was working with me, and I told him I wanted to go to school and learn English,” recalled Quiñones. “And he said to me, ‘You’re never going to do it.

This is your future.’ I felt as if someone put a dagger in my heart.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Quiñones did not give up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He landed a job as a welder for a railroad company and signed up for English language classes at night at San Joaquin Delta College.

But for him, getting status opened up a whole new world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quiñones earned a partial scholarship to UC Berkeley. He was brainy because he paid his rent by tutoring students in organic chemistry, physics, and calculus. But Quiñones is very understated — when he talks about it today, it sounds like graduating from UC Berkeley with high honors was a breeze.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"April Sabangan, CEO, Mission: BRAIN\"]‘Quiñones is a force of nature whether it’s in the world of neurosurgery or greater society. … I am struck by his ability to connect with people, to truly care about them on a personal level.’[/pullquote]“I had no idea that I was going to go to medical school,” Quiñones said. “But I look back at my past with my grandmother, Nana Maria.

He gave the commencement speech at graduation (class of 1999). He was on a path he had never imagined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other students, professors and even close friends tried to deter him from focusing on the elite field of neurosurgery. They tried to push him toward primary care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, his cutting-edge research focuses on brain tumors. His team at the Mayo Clinic is dedicated to finding a cure for cancer. He’s also passionate about bringing healthcare to low-income communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s why he cofounded \u003ca href=\"https://www.missionbrain.org/\">Mission: BRAIN (Bridging Resources and Advancing International Neurosurgery)\u003c/a>.

He cares enough to remember the little details that make an individual distinctive, whether it’s the chairman of a department or the hospital orderly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>From the fields to the operating room\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>When Quiñones reflects on his past and the influences that shaped his journey, he credits his success to his simple upbringing and his parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They grew up teaching us the value of being honest, of hard work, of giving, of always recognizing that no matter how difficult we may have it, there are other people who have it even more challenging,” he said.[aside postID=news_11967317 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/231101-MusicTherapyHMBFarmworkers-47-BL-KQED-1020x680.jpg']He does have some regrets, though.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have been very, very successful as a brain surgeon,” Quiñones said. “But where I have failed the most is as a husband, as a father, as a brother, and as a son. Now, I’m beginning to reflect more on all the sacrifices that my family made.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He knows he wouldn’t be where he is today without the support of his uncles back in the fields, the many mentors who believed in him, and his wife — who, he said, primarily raised their three children. Today, he is trying to be a better husband and offer his kids useful advice about what matters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Find joy in helping other people,” Quiñones said. “Enjoy those little things that life gives you — friendship, family and time with each other.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

This is your future.’ I felt as if someone put a dagger in my heart.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Quiñones did not give up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He landed a job as a welder for a railroad company and signed up for English language classes at night at San Joaquin Delta College.
