The class is livestreamed, and an increasing number of students are opting to take the course online, the teacher said. CalMatters is withholding the teacher’s name to ensure V.’s anonymity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was harder to focus while taking online classes, V. said — her kids often interrupted the livestream or something on the computer distracted her. After about two weeks of online school, V. returned to class in person, despite her kids’ fears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steve Curiel, the principal, said the school is allowing students without legal status to attend, at least for now, until the education department provides more guidance about its new policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a month now, adult schools have been managing uncertainty over federal policy and funding. Federal funding for adult schools typically comes through on a yearly basis, with the fiscal year beginning July 1, and it provides as much as 30% of a school’s budget. The education department \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/k-12-education/2025/07/education-funding-california/\">withheld the money\u003c/a> for a month, leading California Attorney General Rob Bonta to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2025/01/california-trump-lawsuits/\">sue\u003c/a> Education Secretary Linda McMahon. On Friday, the department said it would begin \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/2025/07/education-department-3/\">releasing the money this week\u003c/a>, but the lawsuit is still ongoing, according to Elissa Perez, a spokesperson for Bonta’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re feeling optimistic, but we’re still holding our breath a little bit because we want to see the actual release of the funds,” said Curiel. He was about to begin making cuts on Friday to contracts at Huntington Adult School, but said he will now hold off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many states rely entirely on the federal government to fund English-language learning and high school equivalency programs for adults, whereas California has a financial cushion: The state provides over $650 million each year specifically for adult education, representing the bulk of funding for California’s adult schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Turning teens away from classes\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The education department’s new policy on adults without legal status could also affect high school students. Although much of the federal funding in question supports adults taking English classes and high school equivalency courses, career technical education is part of a separate pot of money, known as Perkins funds, and includes hundreds of high schools across the state. The education department memo says that funding for those programs should be restricted to students who are legal residents or citizens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An estimated \u003ca href=\"https://www.migrationpolicy.org/data/unauthorized-immigrant-population/state/CA\">150,000 children\u003c/a> between the ages of 3 and 17 live in California but lack legal status, according to the Migration Policy Institute. The vast majority are enrolled in school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12026832\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12026832\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/GettyImages-2197914000-scaled-e1740613370625.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1334\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A protester waves the national flags of Mexico during a demonstration for immigrants’ rights outside of Los Angeles City Hall on Feb. 5, 2025. \u003ccite>(Qian Weizhong/VCG via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The U.S. Supreme Court case Plyer v. Doe requires K-12 school districts to provide all students, regardless of their legal status, with “a basic public education,” but in the memo, the U.S. education department said that career technical classes are no longer considered part of a “basic” education. The memo also says that children without legal status are now prohibited from taking college-level courses in high school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To implement the education department’s new policy, public K-12 schools would need to tell certain students that they can’t take specific classes because of their legal status. It would create “an enormous problem for schools,” said Tillery, since schools don’t ask students about their legal status. Public schools would need to gather data about who is a legal resident and who isn’t, he said, which could deter some students from attending school at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. Education Department did not respond to CalMatters’ questions asking how schools should respond or what enforcement might look like. The Los Angeles Unified School District said it was “awaiting further guidance” from the state’s education department, which also declined to comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For V., the English classes are about her family more than anything, she said repeatedly. Her daughter is about to be 11 years old and prefers to speak English over Spanish, though she has a speech impediment and struggles to communicate in either language. V. said she wants to be able to speak more English with her daughter, hoping it might help, despite the risks of going to class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re not living our own lives,” said V. “We’re living for our children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This article was \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2025/07/adult-school-california/\">originally published on CalMatters\u003c/a> and was republished under the \u003ca href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/\">Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives\u003c/a> license.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

The class is livestreamed, and an increasing number of students are opting to take the course online, the teacher said. CalMatters is withholding the teacher’s name to ensure V.’s anonymity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was harder to focus while taking online classes, V. said — her kids often interrupted the livestream or something on the computer distracted her. After about two weeks of online school, V. returned to class in person, despite her kids’ fears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steve Curiel, the principal, said the school is allowing students without legal status to attend, at least for now, until the education department provides more guidance about its new policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a month now, adult schools have been managing uncertainty over federal policy and funding. Federal funding for adult schools typically comes through on a yearly basis, with the fiscal year beginning July 1, and it provides as much as 30% of a school’s budget. The education department \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/k-12-education/2025/07/education-funding-california/\">withheld the money\u003c/a> for a month, leading California Attorney General Rob Bonta to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2025/01/california-trump-lawsuits/\">sue\u003c/a> Education Secretary Linda McMahon. On Friday, the department said it would begin \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/2025/07/education-department-3/\">releasing the money this week\u003c/a>, but the lawsuit is still ongoing, according to Elissa Perez, a spokesperson for Bonta’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re feeling optimistic, but we’re still holding our breath a little bit because we want to see the actual release of the funds,” said Curiel. He was about to begin making cuts on Friday to contracts at Huntington Adult School, but said he will now hold off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many states rely entirely on the federal government to fund English-language learning and high school equivalency programs for adults, whereas California has a financial cushion: The state provides over $650 million each year specifically for adult education, representing the bulk of funding for California’s adult schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Turning teens away from classes\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The education department’s new policy on adults without legal status could also affect high school students. Although much of the federal funding in question supports adults taking English classes and high school equivalency courses, career technical education is part of a separate pot of money, known as Perkins funds, and includes hundreds of high schools across the state. The education department memo says that funding for those programs should be restricted to students who are legal residents or citizens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An estimated \u003ca href=\"https://www.migrationpolicy.org/data/unauthorized-immigrant-population/state/CA\">150,000 children\u003c/a> between the ages of 3 and 17 live in California but lack legal status, according to the Migration Policy Institute. The vast majority are enrolled in school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12026832\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12026832\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/GettyImages-2197914000-scaled-e1740613370625.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1334\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A protester waves the national flags of Mexico during a demonstration for immigrants’ rights outside of Los Angeles City Hall on Feb. 5, 2025. \u003ccite>(Qian Weizhong/VCG via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The U.S. Supreme Court case Plyer v. Doe requires K-12 school districts to provide all students, regardless of their legal status, with “a basic public education,” but in the memo, the U.S. education department said that career technical classes are no longer considered part of a “basic” education. The memo also says that children without legal status are now prohibited from taking college-level courses in high school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To implement the education department’s new policy, public K-12 schools would need to tell certain students that they can’t take specific classes because of their legal status. It would create “an enormous problem for schools,” said Tillery, since schools don’t ask students about their legal status. Public schools would need to gather data about who is a legal resident and who isn’t, he said, which could deter some students from attending school at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. Education Department did not respond to CalMatters’ questions asking how schools should respond or what enforcement might look like. The Los Angeles Unified School District said it was “awaiting further guidance” from the state’s education department, which also declined to comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For V., the English classes are about her family more than anything, she said repeatedly. Her daughter is about to be 11 years old and prefers to speak English over Spanish, though she has a speech impediment and struggles to communicate in either language. V. said she wants to be able to speak more English with her daughter, hoping it might help, despite the risks of going to class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re not living our own lives,” said V. “We’re living for our children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This article was \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2025/07/adult-school-california/\">originally published on CalMatters\u003c/a> and was republished under the \u003ca href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/\">Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives\u003c/a> license.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Iijima honors their service by volunteering as a docent at the USS Hornet’s 442nd Nisei Exhibit in Alameda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Iijima, 75, guided me through the exhibit’s diverse artifacts. For example, the back room of the museum boasts six garlands of origami cranes folded from paper American flags. In Japanese culture, origami cranes came to symbolize peace, resilience and healing after a young survivor of the World War II atomic bombing developed leukemia and folded 1,300 paper birds before her death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sitting near the cranes for our interview, Iijima was decked out in an American battleship baseball cap and his Friends and Family of Nisei Veterans sweater vest.

While the exact numbers are unclear, between October 2023 and June 2024, more than 500 unaccompanied minors were released to a sponsor (an adult who takes responsibility for the child while they await immigration proceedings) in Alameda County, \u003ca href=\"https://www.hhs.gov/programs/social-services/unaccompanied-children-released-to-sponsors-by-county-june-2024.html\">according to the latest Health and Human Services data\u003c/a>. Alameda County is second only to Los Angeles County in the number of unaccompanied minors released to sponsors statewide. \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/california-divide/2024/07/unaccompanied-minors-legal-advocacy-ending/\">More than 64,000\u003c/a> unaccompanied children settled in California between January 2015 and May 2023, according to an analysis of federal data by CalMatters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unaccompanied minors’ journeys to the U.S. leave a lasting mark on their mental health, compounded by the economic demands on them when they arrive. Once here, they face a staggering cost of living fueled by the Bay Area’s housing crisis. Some, like Jorge, must also pay the debt they accumulated getting to the U.S. As the challenges build, so do the traumas, yet the need for mental health care is often lost behind basic survival.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’ve sometimes experienced layers of trauma and family separation,” explained Lisa Hoffman, the Co-Executive Director of East Bay Sanctuary Covenant (EBSC). “They are incredibly vulnerable and need many layers of support.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hoffman’s organization works with the Children’s Holistic Immigration Representation Project (CHIRP), a pilot program with the Acacia Center for Justice, a nonprofit, non-governmental organization that pairs a social worker with an immigration lawyer to provide stabilizing and trauma-informed support to unaccompanied minors immigrating into the U.S., while also helping them maneuver the immigration court system. The program is one of few that offers assistance to unaccompanied minors. According to data from CHIRP, between Sept. 1, 2022 and Dec. 31, 2023, legal representation was provided to more than 600 children with immigration cases. CHIRP also accompanied 300 youth to critical appointments including educational or medical services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Governor Gavin Newsom’s proposed budget for 2025–2026 excludes funding for CHIRP, which would leave a more than $17 million gap in the program’s budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal funding for the Acacia Center’s legal aid program for unaccompanied minors is also in flux. On Feb. 18, the Department of Interior emailed a stop-work order to the center to immediately pause services for their Unaccompanied Children Program. The order was lifted by the Trump administration on Feb. 21 and the center issued a statement reading in part: “Children who arrive in the U.S. unaccompanied by parents or legal guardians often have survived targeted violence, abuse, persecution or trafficking. It is unconscionable to think that they should be forced to represent themselves in immigration court against a trained government attorney in an adversarial hearing before a judge, without even a child-friendly orientation or understanding of their legal options.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unaccompanied minors are a group targeted by the Trump administration’s plans to deport undocumented immigrants, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-administration-directs-ice-agents-find-deport-unaccompanied-migrant-2025-02-23/\">Reuters\u003c/a>, which reviewed an \u003ca href=\"https://english.elpais.com/usa/2025-02-25/trump-administration-launches-offensive-to-deport-undocumented-minors-who-entered-us-alone.html\">internal memo\u003c/a> from the administration to ICE detailing those plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘Kids experience trauma in different ways than adults’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The immediate needs of unaccompanied minors can both subsume and multiply their mental health needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Center on Immigrant Child Welfare Director Kristina Lovato described the experience of these young migrants as the triple-trauma paradigm: the trauma of leaving your home, the trauma of the journey and the trauma of resettling in an ambiguous or even hostile environment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The mental health needs of unaccompanied minors are severely impacted upon resettlement in the U.S.,” Lovato said. “They’ve dreamed of being in the U.S. for the ability to go to college, the ability to send money back home, but once they arrive here, there’s a different reality and they realize that they have to go to work immediately.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Time constraints and a need to work were significant barriers to establishing a sense of community, further affecting their mental health, Lovato said, according to a forthcoming study in which the Center on Immigrant Child Welfare interviewed 90 unaccompanied minors and young adults across California about their mental health needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The need to work is primary and that means other things fall to the wayside, like the ability to go to school, the ability to feel like they can engage in civic life,” Lovato said, as was the case for Jorge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abigail L’Esperance is the interim co-director of the immigration unit at the East Bay Community Law Center (EBCLC), which provides legal aid for CHIRP participants. She emphasized the importance of trauma-informed practices when working with children, noting that they often have difficulty talking about their experiences because of the trauma they have endured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Kids experience trauma in different ways than adults,” L’Esperance said. “It takes them longer to build trust with their legal advocate and to also understand what’s happening during the legal process. We’ve learned we need to prioritize the mental health of the child, to avoid having the child be retraumatized during the process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jorge came to the U.S. with his brother, following family members who had come to Oakland before them. The brothers were seeking better education and work opportunities. However, the financial support promised by a family member who had said they could help fell through almost immediately.

They face a litany of needs, from assistance navigating a byzantine legal system to basic health care like teeth cleaning. But, the report noted, “the need for stable housing seems to be paramount.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the 2023–2024 school year alone, the Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) had approximately 1,006 immigrant students — 75% of whom were unaccompanied minors — who came to the U.S. in the past three years and are considered housing insecure, according to\u003ca href=\"https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1wHQAMEDu1GtgGMPtazPOotygX35EGqTR?usp=drive_link\"> the most recent OUSD McKinney-Vento data\u003c/a>, which tracks the number of students considered homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>OUSD Newcomer and Refugee/Asylum Services Program Manager Nate Dunstan said in a Sept. 2024 interview that almost all the students he works with are housing insecure or living in overcrowded housing. “Either they’re doubled up or they’re in substandard housing,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For many, the lack of basic needs, such as housing, often pushes aside the ability to address mental and emotional needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do see a lot of that,” La Familia Caminos Program Supervisor Elizabeth Ventura said. “We’re client-driven, so if their need is food and basic needs or medical or whatever it is … through that process, we’re planting seeds. We’re planting seeds around mental health.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Caminos Program, which is a collaboration between Alameda County Health Service’s Healthy Schools and Communities Agency and the nonprofit organization La Familia, was launched in 2013 following an uptick in unaccompanied minors arriving in the county, according to Jasmine Gonzalez, the program coordinator. The program partners with schools around Alameda County to offer training and wraparound support for unaccompanied minors, including mental health support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzalez and Ventura said the program has found success working within schools to build community trust, offer services and sometimes break down the stigma around seeking mental health support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Schools are a safe place for students to be at when they’re unaccompanied,” Ventura said. “So really working with administration and the school sites … providing that education around [students’] needs and their challenges, so that they can work with them and not work against them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, language access, time constraints and navigating health systems are some of the continued barriers unaccompanied minors and recent immigrants face, especially when resources are scarce. Lisa Hoffman with EBSC said she has long dealt with a lack of resources in her work and she expects that scarcity to continue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s not enough lawyers, but there’s also very few mental health professionals who are trained to be able to work with this population in linguistically and culturally accessible ways,” Hoffman said. “Many people in immigrant communities, whether youth or adults, are living in a lot of fear right now, and unaccompanied minors are also absorbing a lot of this rhetoric and fear. It does create even more barriers for them to be able to access the services that they need.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite this, Lovato said many of the immigrant youth she has spoken to have developed and relied on social networks and mutual aid in their community for emotional, mental health and basic needs support.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Informal networks of care\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Despite the lack of readily available services, some unaccompanied youth not only survive but thrive by drawing connections to the area’s immigrant community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When they’re unable to access support because of barriers, let’s say because of their [immigration] status, these youth are so resilient,” Lovato said. “I think what’s working well is the ways in which youth find incredible, insightful ways to reach out to one another and be of support to one another, and that’s happening through mutual aid,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lovato said oftentimes people rely on word-of-mouth and it is a friend or community member of unaccompanied minors and young adults that serves as a connection point to services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12033300\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1568px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12033300\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/01.16.2025-Alex-03-scaled-copy-e1743096010246.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1568\" height=\"1025\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/01.16.2025-Alex-03-scaled-copy-e1743096010246.jpg 1568w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/01.16.2025-Alex-03-scaled-copy-e1743096010246-800x523.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/01.16.2025-Alex-03-scaled-copy-e1743096010246-1020x667.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/01.16.2025-Alex-03-scaled-copy-e1743096010246-160x105.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/01.16.2025-Alex-03-scaled-copy-e1743096010246-1536x1004.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1568px) 100vw, 1568px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jorge at a park in East Oakland on Thursday, Jan. 16, 2025. \u003ccite>(Hiram Alejandro Durán for El Tímpano/Catchlight/Report for America corps member)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>While Jorge didn’t seek out mental health services when experiencing immense stress, he said finding a community meant finding support for goals that once felt out of reach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now 20, Jorge is a student at an alternative high school where he said he is on track to graduate in May.

It has opened more doors for me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attending school has not come without its challenges, however. Since he began attending school two days a week, he’s had to give up some work hours and at times has struggled to afford life in Oakland. When he is not in school or working with the nonprofit, he is still working in construction and landscaping. But, Jorge adds, he is committed to finishing school and continuing his education in college, studying either biology or architecture, he hasn’t decided yet. “Biology because I want to help my community,” he said, “and architecture I want to [study] because I have the ability to work in construction, so I want to use my skills.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>El Tímpano is part of the \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://mentalhealthjournalism.org/parity-collaborative/\">\u003cem>Mental Health Parity Collaborative\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem>, a group of newsrooms that are covering stories on mental health care access and inequities in the U.S. The partners on this project include The Carter Center and newsrooms in select states across the country.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Once here, they face a staggering cost of living fueled by the Bay Area’s housing crisis. Some, like Jorge, must also pay the debt they accumulated getting to the U.S. As the challenges build, so do the traumas, yet the need for mental health care is often lost behind basic survival.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’ve sometimes experienced layers of trauma and family separation,” explained Lisa Hoffman, the Co-Executive Director of East Bay Sanctuary Covenant (EBSC). “They are incredibly vulnerable and need many layers of support.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hoffman’s organization works with the Children’s Holistic Immigration Representation Project (CHIRP), a pilot program with the Acacia Center for Justice, a nonprofit, non-governmental organization that pairs a social worker with an immigration lawyer to provide stabilizing and trauma-informed support to unaccompanied minors immigrating into the U.S., while also helping them maneuver the immigration court system. The program is one of few that offers assistance to unaccompanied minors. According to data from CHIRP, between Sept. 1, 2022 and Dec. 31, 2023, legal representation was provided to more than 600 children with immigration cases. CHIRP also accompanied 300 youth to critical appointments including educational or medical services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Governor Gavin Newsom’s proposed budget for 2025–2026 excludes funding for CHIRP, which would leave a more than $17 million gap in the program’s budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal funding for the Acacia Center’s legal aid program for unaccompanied minors is also in flux. On Feb. 18, the Department of Interior emailed a stop-work order to the center to immediately pause services for their Unaccompanied Children Program. The order was lifted by the Trump administration on Feb. 21 and the center issued a statement reading in part: “Children who arrive in the U.S. unaccompanied by parents or legal guardians often have survived targeted violence, abuse, persecution or trafficking. It is unconscionable to think that they should be forced to represent themselves in immigration court against a trained government attorney in an adversarial hearing before a judge, without even a child-friendly orientation or understanding of their legal options.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unaccompanied minors are a group targeted by the Trump administration’s plans to deport undocumented immigrants, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-administration-directs-ice-agents-find-deport-unaccompanied-migrant-2025-02-23/\">Reuters\u003c/a>, which reviewed an \u003ca href=\"https://english.elpais.com/usa/2025-02-25/trump-administration-launches-offensive-to-deport-undocumented-minors-who-entered-us-alone.html\">internal memo\u003c/a> from the administration to ICE detailing those plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘Kids experience trauma in different ways than adults’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The immediate needs of unaccompanied minors can both subsume and multiply their mental health needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Center on Immigrant Child Welfare Director Kristina Lovato described the experience of these young migrants as the triple-trauma paradigm: the trauma of leaving your home, the trauma of the journey and the trauma of resettling in an ambiguous or even hostile environment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The mental health needs of unaccompanied minors are severely impacted upon resettlement in the U.S.,” Lovato said. “They’ve dreamed of being in the U.S. for the ability to go to college, the ability to send money back home, but once they arrive here, there’s a different reality and they realize that they have to go to work immediately.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Time constraints and a need to work were significant barriers to establishing a sense of community, further affecting their mental health, Lovato said, according to a forthcoming study in which the Center on Immigrant Child Welfare interviewed 90 unaccompanied minors and young adults across California about their mental health needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The need to work is primary and that means other things fall to the wayside, like the ability to go to school, the ability to feel like they can engage in civic life,” Lovato said, as was the case for Jorge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abigail L’Esperance is the interim co-director of the immigration unit at the East Bay Community Law Center (EBCLC), which provides legal aid for CHIRP participants. She emphasized the importance of trauma-informed practices when working with children, noting that they often have difficulty talking about their experiences because of the trauma they have endured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Kids experience trauma in different ways than adults,” L’Esperance said. “It takes them longer to build trust with their legal advocate and to also understand what’s happening during the legal process. We’ve learned we need to prioritize the mental health of the child, to avoid having the child be retraumatized during the process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jorge came to the U.S. with his brother, following family members who had come to Oakland before them. The brothers were seeking better education and work opportunities. However, the financial support promised by a family member who had said they could help fell through almost immediately. Meanwhile, Jorge was pressured to hand over the money he owed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jorge said he skipped meals to save money any way he could to pay off his debt within six months and avoid accumulating interest. He didn’t have the time or the financial stability to attend school or socialize. He had bills to pay — rent, a cell phone, car insurance and $1,500 a month towards his debt until it was paid off. At the time, he was making about $120 a day, working five to six days weekly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can’t forget, I was able to endure hunger to pay everything I owed,” he said. “I didn’t want people to put more pressure on me, asking me, ‘When are you going to pay me?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Jorge, the financial stress was isolating, he said. “I was only thinking about that … I almost didn’t want to talk to other people anymore.” Had he not been able to find work, he added, the stress would have been even more daunting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12033299\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1568px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12033299\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/01.16.2025-AlexDiptych-01-scaled-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1568\" height=\"1022\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/01.16.2025-AlexDiptych-01-scaled-copy.jpg 1568w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/01.16.2025-AlexDiptych-01-scaled-copy-800x521.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/01.16.2025-AlexDiptych-01-scaled-copy-1020x665.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/01.16.2025-AlexDiptych-01-scaled-copy-160x104.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/01.16.2025-AlexDiptych-01-scaled-copy-1536x1001.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1568px) 100vw, 1568px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Left: A letter Jorge wrote in preparation for his interview with El Tímpano and to practice his written Spanish.

Lisa Hoffman with EBSC said she has long dealt with a lack of resources in her work and she expects that scarcity to continue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s not enough lawyers, but there’s also very few mental health professionals who are trained to be able to work with this population in linguistically and culturally accessible ways,” Hoffman said. “Many people in immigrant communities, whether youth or adults, are living in a lot of fear right now, and unaccompanied minors are also absorbing a lot of this rhetoric and fear. It does create even more barriers for them to be able to access the services that they need.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite this, Lovato said many of the immigrant youth she has spoken to have developed and relied on social networks and mutual aid in their community for emotional, mental health and basic needs support.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Informal networks of care\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Despite the lack of readily available services, some unaccompanied youth not only survive but thrive by drawing connections to the area’s immigrant community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When they’re unable to access support because of barriers, let’s say because of their [immigration] status, these youth are so resilient,” Lovato said. “I think what’s working well is the ways in which youth find incredible, insightful ways to reach out to one another and be of support to one another, and that’s happening through mutual aid,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lovato said oftentimes people rely on word-of-mouth and it is a friend or community member of unaccompanied minors and young adults that serves as a connection point to services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12033300\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1568px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12033300\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/01.16.2025-Alex-03-scaled-copy-e1743096010246.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1568\" height=\"1025\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/01.16.2025-Alex-03-scaled-copy-e1743096010246.jpg 1568w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/01.16.2025-Alex-03-scaled-copy-e1743096010246-800x523.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/01.16.2025-Alex-03-scaled-copy-e1743096010246-1020x667.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/01.16.2025-Alex-03-scaled-copy-e1743096010246-160x105.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/01.16.2025-Alex-03-scaled-copy-e1743096010246-1536x1004.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1568px) 100vw, 1568px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jorge at a park in East Oakland on Thursday, Jan. 16, 2025. \u003ccite>(Hiram Alejandro Durán for El Tímpano/Catchlight/Report for America corps member)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>While Jorge didn’t seek out mental health services when experiencing immense stress, he said finding a community meant finding support for goals that once felt out of reach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now 20, Jorge is a student at an alternative high school where he said he is on track to graduate in May.

But, Jorge adds, he is committed to finishing school and continuing his education in college, studying either biology or architecture, he hasn’t decided yet. “Biology because I want to help my community,” he said, “and architecture I want to [study] because I have the ability to work in construction, so I want to use my skills.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>El Tímpano is part of the \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://mentalhealthjournalism.org/parity-collaborative/\">\u003cem>Mental Health Parity Collaborative\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem>, a group of newsrooms that are covering stories on mental health care access and inequities in the U.S. The partners on this project include The Carter Center and newsrooms in select states across the country.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>President Donald Trump returned to office last month with a major show of force on immigration, issuing numerous orders and directives to dramatically increase enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’ve sparked glee from his supporters, condemnation from his opponents, fear from immigrant communities amid nationwide raids — and also \u003ca href=\"https://www.mynspr.org/news/2025-01-31/north-state-ice-sightings-circulating-on-social-media-likely-false-claims\">plenty of false alarms\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The flurry of new policies — some pushing long-held legal boundaries — are part of a “shock and awe” strategy meant to amplify the promises of a military-assisted mass deportation, experts said. Among the administration’s goals is for fearful immigrants to “voluntarily depart.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The big issue is this basically full-court press (from the administration) on immigration enforcement and the fear it’s generated,” said UC Davis immigration law professor Kevin Johnson. “(The fear) probably is the biggest impact of all.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The uncertainty over immigrants’ futures has led communities to question whether workers should continue to show up to businesses, children to school and patients to doctors’ offices — and whether there will be economic disruptions and school funding consequences as a result.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many immigrants \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/us/immigrant-communities-hiding-ice.html\">are staying home\u003c/a>. Others have little choice but to continue their routines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Kern County, an immigrant citrus picker who spoke on the condition that her name not be used because she fears deportation said, like many of her coworkers, she stayed home for a day in the wake of \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/2025/01/kern-county-immigration-sweep/\">a Border Patrol operation last month\u003c/a> — conducted before Trump took office — that seemed to target farmworkers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she has bills to pay, so she’s continued going to work and sending her child to daycare. Rumors of immigration authority sightings have also continued to spread, including one that prompted the contractor she works for to keep her crew in the orange grove at the end of a recent workday. The contractor didn’t release them to go home until checking that the roads were clear, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everybody goes out with fear,” she said. “But one has needs. And my needs are bigger than the fear.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s actions have the potential to drastically remake the immigration landscape. Here’s what’s changed so far and how California is responding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Targeting birthright citizenship\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of Trump’s first-day executive orders sought to end the century-plus-old practice of granting citizenship to all children born on U.S. soil, even if their parents are undocumented. Courts have affirmed the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of birthright citizenship since 1898, in the case of a San Francisco man whose parents were from China.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two federal judges, responding to separate lawsuits, quickly halted the order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A third lawsuit, brought by 18 states, including California and the city of San Francisco, was heard in a Massachusetts federal court last Friday. Attorney General Rob Bonta’s office says the executive order would strip citizenship rights from about 24,500 children who are born in California each year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Expanding ICE’s reach\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration has directed the Immigration and Customs Enforcement to \u003ca href=\"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-01720.pdf\">expand\u003c/a> use of a process called “expedited removal”: deportations that are allowed to bypass immigration courts, where a judge would normally decide the merit of allowing someone to stay in the country. In the past, immigrants without legal status and who do not make an asylum claim can be placed in this process if they’re arrested within 14 days of entering the country and within 100 miles of the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That already covered most of California. The new order expands the process to the entire country and to immigrants arrested within two years of entering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That could have a huge effect” on the number of people authorities can arrest and put in the fast-tracked deportation process far from the border, said UCLA law professor Ahilan Arulanantham.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigration courts have a longstanding backlog that, in \u003ca href=\"https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/IN/IN12492\">late 2024, rose to 3.5 million cases\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other Trump actions could also dramatically increase those cases:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>He revoked a policy prohibiting agents from making arrests in “sensitive locations” such as churches, schools and hospitals;\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>And he signed the Laken Riley Act, a GOP bill that had some Democratic support, directing ICE to detain and deport immigrants who are charged — not just convicted — with certain crimes.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Experts say much of how this is carried out still depends on how much Congress is willing to allow ICE to spend. The agency, which operates on about $9 billion a year, estimates it needs $27 billion to carry out the Laken Riley Act, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2025/01/16/nx-s1-5262921/laken-riley-act-deportation-ice\">NPR has reported\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reach of ICE’s recent activity is also unclear. The agency in the last week of January posted daily arrest numbers on the social media platform X, showing nationwide an average of about 800 arrests a day. That’s far higher than daily arrests during the Biden administration, which \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/tracking-administrative-arrests-ice/\">averaged about 300 in 2024\u003c/a>, according to ICE.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s not clear how many people have been held in detention, released with immigration court cases pending, or deported: ICE spokesperson Richard Beam said those figures aren’t available, nor was a state-by-state breakdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency also would not provide figures of how many of those arrested have the criminal convictions the administration says it’s targeting. An NBC News report in late January \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/ice-trump-deportations-numbers-rcna188937\">found for one of the days\u003c/a>, nearly half of those arrested were nonviolent offenders or had no criminal record.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Cancelling legal immigration paths\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In addition to targeting immigrants without legal status, Trump is revoking pathways for immigrants to arrive legally, often on humanitarian grounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump suspended refugee admissions in one Day-One order. In other actions, he’s gone after the temporary legal statuses of immigrants whom the Biden administration allowed to enter. Trump’s administration has called those statuses another way to allow illegal immigration under the guise of government support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, his Homeland Security department canceled the temporary status of about 300,000 Venezuelans that had allowed them protections from deportation and work permits. That status, intended to protect people from tumultuous home countries, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2025/02/04/nx-s1-5285470/venezuelans-florida-tps-immigration-trump\">expires in April\u003c/a>, and another 250,000 protected Venezuelans’ status expires in September.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration also is preparing, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/23/us/politics/trump-immigrants-deportation.html\">according to the New York Times\u003c/a>, to strip the temporary legal status of immigrants from four countries (Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela and Haiti) that the Biden administration had allowed to enter — and gain work permits — if they found American sponsors, as a way to curb illegal border crossings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly, on Day One, Trump ended a Biden-era program allowing migrants at the border to schedule appointments to be temporarily allowed into the U.S. with work permits while they wait for immigration cases to be decided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because many of those immigrants are newer arrivals, Kathleen Bush-Joseph, policy analyst at the Migration Policy Institute, said, they’re particularly likely to be put in the fast-tracked deportation process.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Trying to secure local cooperation\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The administration is again trying to overturn local and state sanctuary laws, meaning we’re likely to see a return to the California-versus-federal showdown from the first Trump administration on how much the state can be required to help immigration agents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those fights, Arulanantham said, “really are fundamental to balance of power between the federal government and states with respect to how immigration enforcement plays out on the ground.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[aside label=’Related Coverage' tag='immigration']\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the arresting immigration agents to the detention bed space to the judges considering whether to order deportations, the Trump administration doesn’t have nearly the capacity to carry out the level of crackdown he vows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, his orders seek to sign on more local police as partners in the effort. The administration is also suing Chicago and Cook County over their non-cooperation policies, accusing the cities of “thwarting” enforcement, and has threatened to prosecute local officials who fail to cooperate with immigration agents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On her first day as attorney general, Pam Bondi ordered the Justice Department to once again pause grants for sanctuary cities and states. That could include California, which in 2017 passed a law barring police and sheriffs from arresting or detaining immigrants on behalf of federal agents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the previous iteration of this standoff, California won in court when the federal government tried to withhold funding. On Friday, San Francisco and Santa Clara counties renewed the fight, suing Trump over his latest threats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Attorney General Rob Bonta on Friday said he hadn’t seen any interruptions to grants yet, but “if that happens, we will sue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California conservative sheriffs are now in an odd position between a blue state and a red federal administration. Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, in a video Thursday, sought to quell fears and “misinformation” among constituents that his agency was involved in immigration enforcement. Yet, in the same video, he said he hoped to assist ICE “within the confines of the sanctuary state laws” with arresting undocumented immigrants who are being held in his jails.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>California’s response\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The Legislature this week passed $50 million in a special session Gov. Gavin Newsom called to help “Trump-proof” the state — $25 million for the state Department of Justice to sue the federal administration on a variety of matters, including immigration and $25 million toward legal aid to represent immigrants in deportation proceedings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic lawmakers have introduced a series of bills seeking to discourage the presence of immigration authorities near or at schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom has scaled back his own criticisms of the president in recent weeks as he seeks to secure federal wildfire aid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonta has continued to push back with a series of press statements encouraging immigrants to know their rights and advising school employees they don’t have to assist immigration agents in apprehending immigrant students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California notched some big wins in court opposing many policies during the last Trump administration, including halting the Muslim ban and Trump’s efforts to undo temporary legal status for immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Bush-Joseph noted the Supreme Court in 2023 limited the states’ powers to challenge presidential immigration policies when Texas and other red states tried to sue Biden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The inverse can be true under the Trump administration if blue states try to bring lawsuits,” Bush-Joseph said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Attorney General Rob Bonta’s office says the executive order would strip citizenship rights from about 24,500 children who are born in California each year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Expanding ICE’s reach\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration has directed the Immigration and Customs Enforcement to \u003ca href=\"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-01720.pdf\">expand\u003c/a> use of a process called “expedited removal”: deportations that are allowed to bypass immigration courts, where a judge would normally decide the merit of allowing someone to stay in the country. In the past, immigrants without legal status and who do not make an asylum claim can be placed in this process if they’re arrested within 14 days of entering the country and within 100 miles of the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That already covered most of California. The new order expands the process to the entire country and to immigrants arrested within two years of entering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That could have a huge effect” on the number of people authorities can arrest and put in the fast-tracked deportation process far from the border, said UCLA law professor Ahilan Arulanantham.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigration courts have a longstanding backlog that, in \u003ca href=\"https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/IN/IN12492\">late 2024, rose to 3.5 million cases\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other Trump actions could also dramatically increase those cases:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>He revoked a policy prohibiting agents from making arrests in “sensitive locations” such as churches, schools and hospitals;\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>And he signed the Laken Riley Act, a GOP bill that had some Democratic support, directing ICE to detain and deport immigrants who are charged — not just convicted — with certain crimes.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Experts say much of how this is carried out still depends on how much Congress is willing to allow ICE to spend. The agency, which operates on about $9 billion a year, estimates it needs $27 billion to carry out the Laken Riley Act, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2025/01/16/nx-s1-5262921/laken-riley-act-deportation-ice\">NPR has reported\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reach of ICE’s recent activity is also unclear. The agency in the last week of January posted daily arrest numbers on the social media platform X, showing nationwide an average of about 800 arrests a day. That’s far higher than daily arrests during the Biden administration, which \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/tracking-administrative-arrests-ice/\">averaged about 300 in 2024\u003c/a>, according to ICE.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s not clear how many people have been held in detention, released with immigration court cases pending, or deported: ICE spokesperson Richard Beam said those figures aren’t available, nor was a state-by-state breakdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency also would not provide figures of how many of those arrested have the criminal convictions the administration says it’s targeting. An NBC News report in late January \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/ice-trump-deportations-numbers-rcna188937\">found for one of the days\u003c/a>, nearly half of those arrested were nonviolent offenders or had no criminal record.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Cancelling legal immigration paths\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In addition to targeting immigrants without legal status, Trump is revoking pathways for immigrants to arrive legally, often on humanitarian grounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump suspended refugee admissions in one Day-One order. In other actions, he’s gone after the temporary legal statuses of immigrants whom the Biden administration allowed to enter. Trump’s administration has called those statuses another way to allow illegal immigration under the guise of government support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, his Homeland Security department canceled the temporary status of about 300,000 Venezuelans that had allowed them protections from deportation and work permits. That status, intended to protect people from tumultuous home countries, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2025/02/04/nx-s1-5285470/venezuelans-florida-tps-immigration-trump\">expires in April\u003c/a>, and another 250,000 protected Venezuelans’ status expires in September.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration also is preparing, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/23/us/politics/trump-immigrants-deportation.html\">according to the New York Times\u003c/a>, to strip the temporary legal status of immigrants from four countries (Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela and Haiti) that the Biden administration had allowed to enter — and gain work permits — if they found American sponsors, as a way to curb illegal border crossings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly, on Day One, Trump ended a Biden-era program allowing migrants at the border to schedule appointments to be temporarily allowed into the U.S. with work permits while they wait for immigration cases to be decided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because many of those immigrants are newer arrivals, Kathleen Bush-Joseph, policy analyst at the Migration Policy Institute, said, they’re particularly likely to be put in the fast-tracked deportation process.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Trying to secure local cooperation\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The administration is again trying to overturn local and state sanctuary laws, meaning we’re likely to see a return to the California-versus-federal showdown from the first Trump administration on how much the state can be required to help immigration agents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those fights, Arulanantham said, “really are fundamental to balance of power between the federal government and states with respect to how immigration enforcement plays out on the ground.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The administration is also suing Chicago and Cook County over their non-cooperation policies, accusing the cities of “thwarting” enforcement, and has threatened to prosecute local officials who fail to cooperate with immigration agents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On her first day as attorney general, Pam Bondi ordered the Justice Department to once again pause grants for sanctuary cities and states. That could include California, which in 2017 passed a law barring police and sheriffs from arresting or detaining immigrants on behalf of federal agents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the previous iteration of this standoff, California won in court when the federal government tried to withhold funding. On Friday, San Francisco and Santa Clara counties renewed the fight, suing Trump over his latest threats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Attorney General Rob Bonta on Friday said he hadn’t seen any interruptions to grants yet, but “if that happens, we will sue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California conservative sheriffs are now in an odd position between a blue state and a red federal administration. Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, in a video Thursday, sought to quell fears and “misinformation” among constituents that his agency was involved in immigration enforcement. Yet, in the same video, he said he hoped to assist ICE “within the confines of the sanctuary state laws” with arresting undocumented immigrants who are being held in his jails.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>California’s response\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The Legislature this week passed $50 million in a special session Gov. Gavin Newsom called to help “Trump-proof” the state — $25 million for the state Department of Justice to sue the federal administration on a variety of matters, including immigration and $25 million toward legal aid to represent immigrants in deportation proceedings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic lawmakers have introduced a series of bills seeking to discourage the presence of immigration authorities near or at schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom has scaled back his own criticisms of the president in recent weeks as he seeks to secure federal wildfire aid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonta has continued to push back with a series of press statements encouraging immigrants to know their rights and advising school employees they don’t have to assist immigration agents in apprehending immigrant students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California notched some big wins in court opposing many policies during the last Trump administration, including halting the Muslim ban and Trump’s efforts to undo temporary legal status for immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Bush-Joseph noted the Supreme Court in 2023 limited the states’ powers to challenge presidential immigration policies when Texas and other red states tried to sue Biden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
