Y para los inmigrantes indocumentados, el temor es aún mayor, dice Patricia Ortiz, directora legal del programa de inmigración de la organización sin fines de lucro California Rural Legal Assistance (CRLA, por sus siglas en inglés).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11919450\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/FarmworkersIlloVignet-1020x659-1.jpg\"]\"Los trabajadores agrícolas se encuentran en una situación muy vulnerable\", dijo Ortiz. \"Están en zonas rurales, donde tal vez están aislados de la información a la que la gente en otras partes del estado tiene acceso, en cuanto a sus derechos y qué recursos tienen para hacerlos valer\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pero \u003ca href=\"https://www.dhs.gov/news/2023/01/13/dhs-anuncia-mejoras-en-los-procesos-para-apoyar-las-investigaciones-de-cumplimiento\">un nuevo programa simplificado y acelerado de solicitud de \"acción diferida\"\u003c/a>, destinado a ayudar al gobierno a acabar con los empleadores abusivos, podría animar a más trabajadores indocumentados a denunciar condiciones injustas o inseguras, dijo Ortiz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los trabajadores que demuestren que están cooperando con una investigación laboral pueden solicitar un permiso de trabajo y dos años de protección contra la deportación a través de un proceso acelerado anunciado en enero por el Secretario de Seguridad Nacional (DHS, por sus siglas en inglés), Alejandro Mayorkas. La protección, que se concederá caso por caso, se basa en \u003ca href=\"https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/memo_from_secretary_mayorkas_on_worksite_enforcement.pdf\">un memorando de octubre de 2021 en el que se describe la estrategia del DHS para hacer cumplir la ley en los lugares de trabajo (PDF)\u003c/a> (enlace sólo en inglés).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Los empresarios sin escrúpulos que se aprovechan de la vulnerabilidad de los trabajadores extranjeros perjudican a todos los trabajadores y ponen en desventaja a las empresas que respetan las normas\", declaró Mayorkas al anunciar el nuevo programa en enero. \"Responsabilizaremos a estos depredadores animando a todos los trabajadores a hacer valer sus derechos\".\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Difundir el mensaje\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Ortiz dice que grupos de defensa de los inmigrantes como el suyo han estado organizando apresuradamente cursos de formación y seminarios web para informar sobre el programa a otros proveedores de servicios jurídicos que trabajan con inmigrantes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pero Jiménez Ureña, vicealcalde de Half Moon Bay, que también ayuda dirigir la organización sin fines de lucro ALAS, o Ayudando Latinos a Soñar, que apoya a trabajadores agrícolas en el condado de San Mateo, dijo que desconocía la iniciativa federal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tras el tiroteo masivo y las posibles infracciones laborales en las granjas de hongos, la Agencia de Trabajo y Desarrollo Laboral de la administración del gobernador Newsom ha empezado a compartir información sobre el nuevo programa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"La administración ha estado en estrecho contacto con el condado de San Mateo y las organizaciones comunitarias en relación con asistencia migratoria y las nuevas orientaciones del DHS sobre posibles ayudas de inmigración para los trabajadores que hayan sufrido infracciones en el lugar de trabajo.\", dijo Erin Hickey, portavoz de la agencia, en un correo electrónico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los líderes sindicales de California llevaron a cabo un curso de formación sobre el nuevo programa en Los Ángeles. Y un grupo de abogados del Área de la Bahía programaron una videollamada para debatir cómo podrían beneficiar a sus clientes estas protecciones.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Un giro de 180 grados\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Sergio Benavides, un abogado de inmigración de Hayward dijo que ya hace tiempo es que la administración Biden debería haberse enfocado en las protecciones laborales para los inmigrantes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Para mí representa un giro completo de 180 grados con respecto a la era del expresidente Trump\", dijo. \"La administración Biden está diciendo, 'Oigan, trabajadores, queremos ayudarlos. Queremos protegerlos. Queremos investigar las violaciones de la ley. Por favor, salgan a la luz'\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pero Benavides advirtió que la acción diferida es sólo temporal, y dijo que los inmigrantes deberían consultar primero a un abogado para decidir si les beneficiaría solicitarla.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hay otras formas de alivio de la inmigración que podrían ser más duraderas para los inmigrantes indocumentados, incluidos los de las granjas de setas de Half Moon Bay, dijo. Una de ellas, \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/es/programas-humanitarios/victimas-de-la-trata-de-personas-y-de-otros-crimenes/victimas-de-actos-criminales-estatus-u-de-no-inmigrante\">el visado U\u003c/a>, puede conducir a una tarjeta verde y, en última instancia, a la ciudadanía para las víctimas de determinados delitos que cooperen con las fuerzas del orden o los investigadores gubernamentales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y la eficacia del nuevo programa federal dependerá de lo bien que se administre, dijo Benavides. Aunque el DHS dice que el proceso de solicitud será \"agilizado y acelerado\", otras solicitudes de inmigración suelen retrasarse, señaló.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"La gente puede tener derecho a prestaciones y las solicita, pero tarda años y hay estos enormes retrasos\", dijo. \"Van a intentar acelerarlo. ¿Pero qué significa eso? No sé si el gobierno de Biden tiene el personal necesario para asegurarse de que estas solicitudes se tramitan más rápido.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"funciona\">\u003c/a>Cómo funciona este programa\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Si está pensando en solicitar la acción diferida sobre la deportación, aquí tiene algunos detalles que debe conocer:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Un abogado de inmigración puede ayudarle a decidir si le conviene presentar la solicitud. También pueden decirle si hay otras formas de ayuda migratoria a las que pueda optar, incluidas protecciones más permanentes.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Para solicitarla, debe presentar, entre otros formularios:\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Una solicitud firmada en la que explique su reclamación y que está participando en una investigación de una agencia laboral.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Una carta de apoyo de la agencia laboral.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Documentos que prueben su empleo.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Prueba de su identidad y nacionalidad.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Información biográfica.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Una solicitud de permiso de trabajo.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>La protección contra la expulsión es temporal, hasta dos años. Puede renovarse si la investigación laboral está en curso. Tenga en cuenta que el DHS dice que puede poner fin a la acción diferida \"en cualquier momento, a su discreción\".\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Si su solicitud es aprobada y puede demostrar \"necesidad económica\", también puede obtener un permiso de trabajo.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>En algunos casos, el USCIS puede remitir las solicitudes al Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas de EE.UU. (ICE, por sus siglas en inglés), especialmente si está en proceso de deportación. Pueden pedir al ICE que les ayude a decidir si le conceden la acción diferida.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>El Servicio de Ciudadanía e Información de EE.UU. ha creado una oficina para tramitar las solicitudes de forma acelerada.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.dhs.gov/apoyo-del-dhs-la-aplicacion-de-las-leyes-laborales-y-de-empleo\">La información completa sobre el proceso de solicitud está disponible aquí, en español e inglés.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Este artículo fue traducido por la periodista \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/mpena/\">María Peña\u003c/a> y editado por el periodista \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/ccabreralomeli\">Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

La protección, que se concederá caso por caso, se basa en \u003ca href=\"https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/memo_from_secretary_mayorkas_on_worksite_enforcement.pdf\">un memorando de octubre de 2021 en el que se describe la estrategia del DHS para hacer cumplir la ley en los lugares de trabajo (PDF)\u003c/a> (enlace sólo en inglés).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Los empresarios sin escrúpulos que se aprovechan de la vulnerabilidad de los trabajadores extranjeros perjudican a todos los trabajadores y ponen en desventaja a las empresas que respetan las normas\", declaró Mayorkas al anunciar el nuevo programa en enero. \"Responsabilizaremos a estos depredadores animando a todos los trabajadores a hacer valer sus derechos\".\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Difundir el mensaje\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Ortiz dice que grupos de defensa de los inmigrantes como el suyo han estado organizando apresuradamente cursos de formación y seminarios web para informar sobre el programa a otros proveedores de servicios jurídicos que trabajan con inmigrantes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pero Jiménez Ureña, vicealcalde de Half Moon Bay, que también ayuda dirigir la organización sin fines de lucro ALAS, o Ayudando Latinos a Soñar, que apoya a trabajadores agrícolas en el condado de San Mateo, dijo que desconocía la iniciativa federal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tras el tiroteo masivo y las posibles infracciones laborales en las granjas de hongos, la Agencia de Trabajo y Desarrollo Laboral de la administración del gobernador Newsom ha empezado a compartir información sobre el nuevo programa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"La administración ha estado en estrecho contacto con el condado de San Mateo y las organizaciones comunitarias en relación con asistencia migratoria y las nuevas orientaciones del DHS sobre posibles ayudas de inmigración para los trabajadores que hayan sufrido infracciones en el lugar de trabajo.\", dijo Erin Hickey, portavoz de la agencia, en un correo electrónico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los líderes sindicales de California llevaron a cabo un curso de formación sobre el nuevo programa en Los Ángeles.

What do they need now?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s such a hard question because of the pain that has been inflicted, the fear, the trauma. So many who have already been affected by trauma for so long are now left without answers, but really needing mental health support first and foremost. There’s so much that they need to share and to have safe spaces to do that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They need the reassurance from our community leaders and our politicians that farmworker conditions will change. They need to know that there’s going to be a national response to improve the lives of farmworkers, their living conditions, their economic wages, their mental health, medical and so much more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We are shaken at our core that this happened in our beautiful small pumpkin town community, where people come to see the Mavericks and cut Christmas trees and pumpkins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Have people at the two farms where the shootings happened been able to return to work?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of them are trying to slowly find their way back to work. Others are paralyzed with fear, and others are confused and do not know what to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So ALAS has really been wrapping care around to say, you know, “We’re here to support you.” Our county leaders have been equally supportive and getting funding to them so that they can take the time they need to be able to process and heal through this journey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Before the shooting, your organization was already trying to improve conditions for farmworkers in California, many of whom don’t have adequate access to housing and health care and earn very low wages. So what impact has this incident had? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We have been talking about the conditions of farmworkers for a long time, particularly during COVID, as we went out into the fields and saw how difficult it was for our farmworker community and heard from farmworker leaders across the state. So we’ve been actively on the ground advocating and pushing for better housing, highlighting the disparities that exist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This tragedy brings to light the silence with which many have lived in … in these deplorable conditions with these inequitable wages and lack of health care. We are hoping that this response really turns the tide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is the lack of access to mental health care for farmworkers something you feel like people needed to know more about even before it took a shooting like this to bring it to light?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Absolutely. Our platform at ALAS is focused on mental health for Latino essential workers, for our farmworkers. It’s free, accessible and culturally centered.[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"half-moon-bay\"]We recently did a study with Stanford to really understand what the emotional experiences of farmworkers are, because it’s talked about so little in the media. The study showed that what was really important to farmworkers was access to mental health care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was before the shooting, and it highlights even more the mental health care gap that is very real and that we need to address urgently in our communities across the state\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>It’s worth noting that joining you at President Biden’s State of the Union address is Brandon Tsay, who disarmed the gunman suspected of killing 11 people in Monterey Park. This seems like a pretty strong signal, as local, state and federal lawmakers continue to respond to gun violence in this country.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Absolutely. As a professional in mental health, I’ve been following so many of the different tragedies, and worried about the children and the individuals who have been impacted by gun violence for a long time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ve been an advocate saying, “Please, the time is now to get gun reform.” We can’t turn our backs on what is happening. Lives are at stake. People are suffering. There is so much fear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And never did I expect it was going to happen locally here in a farm that we work on, that our ALAS team goes to every week. Our team was there an hour before this shooting happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But no community is safe from gun violence. And now it’s hit our farmworker community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We have to make a change for gun reform.

Anna Eshoo, whose district includes Half Moon Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Her invitation, to me, really resonated with the opportunity to be able to push this conversation as a national agenda, to change the conditions for farmworkers across our country and at home,” said Hernandez-Arriaga, whose group has been working directly to support victims’ families in the aftermath of the Jan. 23 shooting rampage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In advance of her trip, Hernandez-Arriaga spoke with KQED morning host Brian Watt about the urgent need to improve the working and living conditions of the largely underserved, overlooked communities she serves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This interview has been edited for clarity and brevity.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Since the shooting, ALAS has been working on the ground to give people critical services. What do they need now?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s such a hard question because of the pain that has been inflicted, the fear, the trauma. So many who have already been affected by trauma for so long are now left without answers, but really needing mental health support first and foremost. There’s so much that they need to share and to have safe spaces to do that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They need the reassurance from our community leaders and our politicians that farmworker conditions will change. They need to know that there’s going to be a national response to improve the lives of farmworkers, their living conditions, their economic wages, their mental health, medical and so much more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We are shaken at our core that this happened in our beautiful small pumpkin town community, where people come to see the Mavericks and cut Christmas trees and pumpkins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Have people at the two farms where the shootings happened been able to return to work?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of them are trying to slowly find their way back to work. Others are paralyzed with fear, and others are confused and do not know what to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So ALAS has really been wrapping care around to say, you know, “We’re here to support you.” Our county leaders have been equally supportive and getting funding to them so that they can take the time they need to be able to process and heal through this journey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Before the shooting, your organization was already trying to improve conditions for farmworkers in California, many of whom don’t have adequate access to housing and health care and earn very low wages. So what impact has this incident had? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We have been talking about the conditions of farmworkers for a long time, particularly during COVID, as we went out into the fields and saw how difficult it was for our farmworker community and heard from farmworker leaders across the state. So we’ve been actively on the ground advocating and pushing for better housing, highlighting the disparities that exist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This tragedy brings to light the silence with which many have lived in … in these deplorable conditions with these inequitable wages and lack of health care. We are hoping that this response really turns the tide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is the lack of access to mental health care for farmworkers something you feel like people needed to know more about even before it took a shooting like this to bring it to light?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Absolutely. Our platform at ALAS is focused on mental health for Latino essential workers, for our farmworkers. It’s free, accessible and culturally centered.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She’s always been an outlier in law enforcement — a petite woman, the daughter of immigrants.[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Scott Wiese, Monterey Park police chief\"]‘The only way they are going to protect this community is if they are mentally prepared to do so.’[/pullquote]Sometimes that outsider status has been a challenge in \u003ca href=\"https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/f941acef8b2d4c6c99a74309897415df/\">a sheriff’s department that is still largely male dominated\u003c/a>. But Corpus said it’s also given her a different perspective, even at the start of her career, when the advice was basically to suck it up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I was in our field-training program 20 years ago, I responded to a call for service of an unresponsive toddler on Thanksgiving morning,” she told KQED in an interview two weeks before the Jan. 23 shootings that left seven farmworkers dead and an eighth critically injured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And as I arrived on scene, I saw the fire department pulling this little boy out of a pond, and they worked for about 45 minutes on resuscitating him, but they were unsuccessful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The boy had slipped outside while his mother was changing her newborn baby’s diaper. Corpus remembers that her training officer told her to conduct the interviews and investigation without showing any emotion. When her report was done, they went back on patrol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Not once was I asked, ‘Are you OK? Do you want to talk to anybody?'” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That service call, though, has stayed with Corpus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s not a Thanksgiving morning that goes by that I don’t think about that curly-haired little boy in overalls and think about how he would have been an adult by now,” she said. “And then I think about the mother. Now that I’m a mother, how has she navigated through life?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For first responders, Corpus says, it’s like being handed a backpack on the first day of work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And every time you go to a critical incident, you put a rock in your backpack,” she said. “And if you don’t take those rocks out of your backpack, the backpack’s gonna get too heavy and you’re going to topple over.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During that interview with KQED, before the shooting rampage, Corpus spoke about creating a robust mental wellness program at the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Department, and working to ensure that there is a culture in which officers know it’s OK to ask for help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corpus put those plans into action last week. She said her first move on Monday was to get to the crime scenes herself to support her officers. Then she released the deputies who first responded so they could go home and be with their families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those officers also met with one of her department’s mental health professionals, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[I came to do] a debriefing with them and to openly talk about it,” Corpus said last week. “And I’ll be checking in with them on a daily basis to make sure that they’re OK and whatever support that they need, they’ll have it from me and the organization.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corpus isn’t alone in prioritizing what’s become known as “officer wellness.” The \u003ca href=\"https://www.themarshallproject.org/2017/10/03/it-s-time-we-talk-about-police-suicide\">increased focus on this issue\u003c/a> comes amid a mounting body of data showing that \u003ca href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2022/06/10/high-suicide-rate-police-firefighters-mental-health/7470846001/\">law enforcement officers are more likely to die of suicide than in the line of duty\u003c/a>.[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"mass-shootings\"]In recent years, many departments across the country have created \u003ca href=\"https://www.baltimorepolice.org/about/officer-safety-wellness/director-officer-safety-and-wellness\">positions or offices within their own command structure\u003c/a> that are dedicated to supporting the mental health of their officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, the agency that trains police officers began offering local departments \u003ca href=\"https://post.ca.gov/Wellness\">entire courses on wellness and resilience\u003c/a> just last year, after funding was approved by state leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That money comes years after the federal government highlighted the issue. Supporting officer safety and wellness was among the six main recommendations for improving policing that were highlighted in the final report of President Barack Obama’s 2015 \u003ca href=\"https://cops.usdoj.gov/pdf/taskforce/taskforce_finalreport.pdf\">Task Force on 21st Century Policing (PDF)\u003c/a> — an initiative convened largely in response to the unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, after the police killing of Michael Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the report, the task force spelled out why the mental health of law enforcement officers is “critical” to public safety at large.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“An officer whose capabilities, judgment, and behavior are adversely affected by poor physical or psychological health not only may be of little use to the community he or she serves but also may be a danger to the community and to other officers,” the report stated, pointing to corroborating testimony from a \u003ca href=\"https://www.police1.com/columnists/laurence-miller/\">prominent police psychologist\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Dr. Laurence Miller observed in his testimony that supervisors would not allow an officer to go on patrol with a deficiently maintained vehicle, an un-serviced duty weapon, or a malfunctioning radio — but pay little attention to the maintenance of what is all officers’ most valuable resource: their brains,” the report states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monterey Park Police Chief Scott Wiese acknowledged the connection between officer wellness and community safety during a news conference earlier this month, a day after his agency responded to the killing of 11 people at a local ballroom dance club.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The officers that were here last night are just coming on duty right now — they are upstairs at briefing,” he said during a press conference. “When I get done talking to you here, I will go back upstairs and make sure my officers are mindful of what took place and that they’re in a good place tonight, because their wellness means a lot to me. And the only way they are going to protect this community is if they are mentally prepared to do so.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in Half Moon Bay, Lenny Mendonca, who owns Half Moon Bay Brewing Company, said he was heartened to hear of Corpus’s focus on mental health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It starts at the top — they have to be able to say, ‘This is OK. We want you to talk about it,’” said Mendonca, who served as Gov. Gavin Newsom’s chief economic and business adviser until leaving the job in 2020 \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11896784/the-politics-of-inflation-with-lenny-mendonca\">to focus on his own mental health challenges\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m glad she’s talking about it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

But Corpus said it’s also given her a different perspective, even at the start of her career, when the advice was basically to suck it up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I was in our field-training program 20 years ago, I responded to a call for service of an unresponsive toddler on Thanksgiving morning,” she told KQED in an interview two weeks before the Jan. 23 shootings that left seven farmworkers dead and an eighth critically injured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And as I arrived on scene, I saw the fire department pulling this little boy out of a pond, and they worked for about 45 minutes on resuscitating him, but they were unsuccessful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The boy had slipped outside while his mother was changing her newborn baby’s diaper. Corpus remembers that her training officer told her to conduct the interviews and investigation without showing any emotion. When her report was done, they went back on patrol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Not once was I asked, ‘Are you OK? Do you want to talk to anybody?'” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That service call, though, has stayed with Corpus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s not a Thanksgiving morning that goes by that I don’t think about that curly-haired little boy in overalls and think about how he would have been an adult by now,” she said. “And then I think about the mother. Now that I’m a mother, how has she navigated through life?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For first responders, Corpus says, it’s like being handed a backpack on the first day of work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And every time you go to a critical incident, you put a rock in your backpack,” she said. “And if you don’t take those rocks out of your backpack, the backpack’s gonna get too heavy and you’re going to topple over.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During that interview with KQED, before the shooting rampage, Corpus spoke about creating a robust mental wellness program at the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Department, and working to ensure that there is a culture in which officers know it’s OK to ask for help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corpus put those plans into action last week. She said her first move on Monday was to get to the crime scenes herself to support her officers. Then she released the deputies who first responded so they could go home and be with their families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those officers also met with one of her department’s mental health professionals, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[I came to do] a debriefing with them and to openly talk about it,” Corpus said last week. “And I’ll be checking in with them on a daily basis to make sure that they’re OK and whatever support that they need, they’ll have it from me and the organization.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corpus isn’t alone in prioritizing what’s become known as “officer wellness.” The \u003ca href=\"https://www.themarshallproject.org/2017/10/03/it-s-time-we-talk-about-police-suicide\">increased focus on this issue\u003c/a> comes amid a mounting body of data showing that \u003ca href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2022/06/10/high-suicide-rate-police-firefighters-mental-health/7470846001/\">law enforcement officers are more likely to die of suicide than in the line of duty\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Supporting officer safety and wellness was among the six main recommendations for improving policing that were highlighted in the final report of President Barack Obama’s 2015 \u003ca href=\"https://cops.usdoj.gov/pdf/taskforce/taskforce_finalreport.pdf\">Task Force on 21st Century Policing (PDF)\u003c/a> — an initiative convened largely in response to the unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, after the police killing of Michael Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the report, the task force spelled out why the mental health of law enforcement officers is “critical” to public safety at large.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“An officer whose capabilities, judgment, and behavior are adversely affected by poor physical or psychological health not only may be of little use to the community he or she serves but also may be a danger to the community and to other officers,” the report stated, pointing to corroborating testimony from a \u003ca href=\"https://www.police1.com/columnists/laurence-miller/\">prominent police psychologist\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Dr. Laurence Miller observed in his testimony that supervisors would not allow an officer to go on patrol with a deficiently maintained vehicle, an un-serviced duty weapon, or a malfunctioning radio — but pay little attention to the maintenance of what is all officers’ most valuable resource: their brains,” the report states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monterey Park Police Chief Scott Wiese acknowledged the connection between officer wellness and community safety during a news conference earlier this month, a day after his agency responded to the killing of 11 people at a local ballroom dance club.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The officers that were here last night are just coming on duty right now — they are upstairs at briefing,” he said during a press conference. “When I get done talking to you here, I will go back upstairs and make sure my officers are mindful of what took place and that they’re in a good place tonight, because their wellness means a lot to me. And the only way they are going to protect this community is if they are mentally prepared to do so.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in Half Moon Bay, Lenny Mendonca, who owns Half Moon Bay Brewing Company, said he was heartened to hear of Corpus’s focus on mental health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It starts at the top — they have to be able to say, ‘This is OK. We want you to talk about it,’” said Mendonca, who served as Gov. Gavin Newsom’s chief economic and business adviser until leaving the job in 2020 \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11896784/the-politics-of-inflation-with-lenny-mendonca\">to focus on his own mental health challenges\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m glad she’s talking about it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And if they choose to live where they work to save money on housing, they are often more vulnerable to wage theft and other abuses, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"half-moon-bay\"]“Once an employer provides a worker housing, the worker becomes dependent on them not only for their wages but for their housing security and the security of their families,” Rice said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesperson for the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health — also known as Cal/OSHA — and the state Labor Commissioner’s office, which investigates wage theft complaints, said the state’s inspection will “ensure that employees are being afforded all the protections of California labor laws.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The spokesperson also emphasized that most workers in California, including agricultural workers, are “protected by the state’s labor laws and workplace safety and health regulations, regardless of their immigration status.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>District Attorney Wagstaffe also said that his office could potentially prosecute the owners of the farms, if evidence of serious violations was uncovered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It would be familiar territory for Wagstaffe, who in 2021 prosecuted a Texas-based owner of a hemp farm in Half Moon Bay for withholding workers’ wages for six weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local labor advocates and city officials are hopeful the current focus on working conditions at farm sites in the area will spur positive changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have exposed how our farmworker community is living, let’s not ignore that. The mental health support they need, let’s not ignore that,” Half Moon Bay Vice Mayor Joaquin Jiménez Ureña told reporters. “Many come to this community for the pumpkin [festival] and ignore the farmworkers. Not today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rice, of California Rural Legal Assistance, stressed that it shouldn’t take a mass shooting to bring light to the inequality that many farmworkers endure on a regular basis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s horrifying to think that it takes the death of so many people who are grouped together by virtue of the fact that they work to put food on our tables,” Rice said. “It will be another tragedy if there is no follow-up by enforcement agencies or others who can help these workers out.”\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",
