"content": "\u003cp>A three-judge appeals panel is weighing a lower federal court's order that preserves — for now — temporary protections allowing hundreds of thousands of immigrants to live and work in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During a hearing Wednesday in Pasadena, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel seemed skeptical of U.S. District Judge Edward Chen's order last fall that blocked the Trump administration from ending Temporary Protected Status for more than 400,000 immigrants nationwide, including 75,000 in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department of Homeland Security announced last year that it was ending TPS for nationals of El Salvador, Haiti, Nicaragua and Sudan. In the spring, it added two more countries to the list: Honduras and Nepal. Judge Chen issued an injunction last October that has kept the protections in place while the courts consider the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congress created the TPS program in 1990 to provide humanitarian relief to immigrants already in the U.S. who could not return safely to home countries struck by wars or natural disasters, such as earthquakes. The secretary of the Department of Homeland Security must periodically review a country’s TPS designation to decide whether to extend the status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration defends getting rid of the protections, saying they’re no longer warranted for most TPS holders because the original conditions that led to the designations no longer exist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But plaintiffs say the DHS broke practice with previous administrations that had extended TPS, and its terminations of the program were unlawful and motivated by President Trump’s hostility against non-white immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the hearing, ACLU attorney Ahilan Arulanantham cited a vulgar slur by Trump disparaging African nations as “shithole countries” as part of the evidence of the racial animus that allegedly influenced TPS terminations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='immigration' label='Related Coverage']But Judge Ryan Nelson questioned whether such statements were enough to support the plaintiff’s arguments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There's this assumption that the president has animus,” said Nelson, a Trump appointee. “But if you go read the president's statements, none of them except for one have anything to do with the TPS statute that we're reviewing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. Department of Justice attorney Gerard Sinzdak argued the government had the authority to issue the program terminations, despite any statements by Trump — before or after he took the oath of office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s inappropriate to draw the kind of inferences that plaintiffs are asking you to draw here… and then draw the inference that the (DHS) secretary was motivated by those views,” he said. “There is no cause for that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the 9th circuit ends the lower court’s temporary injunction, plaintiffs would likely appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. Once a final ruling is made, TPS holders from the six affected countries could ultimately face deportation after a four-month grace period, said Sinzdak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear when the appeals panel will rule.\u003c/p>\n\n",

In the spring, it added two more countries to the list: Honduras and Nepal. Judge Chen issued an injunction last October that has kept the protections in place while the courts consider the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congress created the TPS program in 1990 to provide humanitarian relief to immigrants already in the U.S. who could not return safely to home countries struck by wars or natural disasters, such as earthquakes. The secretary of the Department of Homeland Security must periodically review a country’s TPS designation to decide whether to extend the status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration defends getting rid of the protections, saying they’re no longer warranted for most TPS holders because the original conditions that led to the designations no longer exist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Once a final ruling is made, TPS holders from the six affected countries could ultimately face deportation after a four-month grace period, said Sinzdak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear when the appeals panel will rule.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>On a recent Friday at the San Ysidro Port of Entry, the modern, well-lit pedestrian crossing bustled with travelers on their way from Tijuana into San Diego. As they waited in line for a border officer to inspect their passports or other documents, another line began forming in a separate part of the building. This one was for asylum-seekers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='small' align='right' citation='Kevin, asylum-seeker from Honduras']‘It’s like you lose hope. Maybe asylum isn’t real. Sometimes I wonder.’[/pullquote]In this room, hidden from the routine flow of traffic, men, women and small children from Africa, the Caribbean and Central America stood in silence — single file, with their hands behind their backs. They waited for an officer to take them down several flights of stairs to the port basement, where they would be placed in a holding cell while U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) decided where they would go next.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In late May, KQED got a rare glimpse inside CBP’s Admissibility Enforcement Unit, the basement of the San Ysidro Port of Entry where asylum-seekers attempting to enter the U.S. legally from Tijuana are initially processed. Under \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/2017-Sep/CBP%20TEDS%20Policy%20Oct2015.pdf\">CBP standards\u003c/a>, people should generally not be held in such facilities for more than 72 hours, but the time limit is often exceeded. Migrants told KQED they were recently detained there for weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asylum-seeking migrants often travel for weeks or even months to get to the U.S.-Mexico border. But officials say they are overwhelmed and can process only a limited number of requests each day, so the migrants put their names on an informal list and then wait in Tijuana — sometimes for months — until it’s their turn to return to the port of entry and ask for asylum. As large numbers of asylum-seekers arrive here, the basement has become ground zero for what the agency describes as a \u003ca href=\"https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Owen-Provost-Padilla%20Joint%20Testimony.pdf\">crisis\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four asylum-seekers recently detained here told KQED that border officers denied them food, delayed medical treatment, used physical force against them or other detainees and pressured them to sign paperwork that would trigger their return to Mexico. While KQED was not able to independently verify the accounts from asylum-seekers, several individuals repeated the same observations in separate interviews.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A CBP spokeswoman denied those allegations, calling them unsubstantiated, and said the agency “treats those in its custody with dignity and respect and provides multiple avenues to report any misconduct.” She said the agency investigates all formal complaints.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The San Ysidro Port of Entry\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every day, 34,000 people walk north through the San Ysidro Port of Entry’s pedestrian crossings, and 45,000 cars move through its vehicle inspection lines, according to CBP. With 19% of all traffic coming into the United States here, San Ysidro is the busiest land border crossing in the Western Hemisphere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qx01gsmr8RI&feature=youtu.be\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The port’s underground facility looks like a jail, but cleaner. White cinder block walls enclose hallways with surveillance cameras. The floor is gray linoleum with drains. Migrants first undergo a medical screening. People with contagious illnesses, transgender migrants and other vulnerable detainees must be isolated, according to CBP.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote]‘A CBP spokeswoman denied allegations made by four asylum-seekers who spoke to KQED, calling them unsubstantiated.’[/pullquote]After the initial intake process, migrants pass through a chain-link gate and stand at a counter to answer questions from officers sitting behind computers. Mothers and children sit together beneath a large American flag hanging in a waiting room. Meanwhile, migrants shuffle back and forth from holding cells to the cafeteria or showers, walking in single file with their hands behind their backs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cells are the size of a small bedroom. Inside, migrants sit on metal benches or use the toilet — shielded only by a waist-high divider. Detainees hold aluminum blankets and thin, rolled-up sleeping mats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of the people who spoke to KQED are Central Americans who underwent an initial screening and were sent back to Tijuana to await their hearings in U.S. immigration court under the government’s recent Migrant Protection Protocols, or “Return to Mexico” policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Below are accounts of detention inside the San Ysidro Port of Entry from four asylum-seekers. KQED has agreed to identify them by partially naming them— generally using their first names— because they all have ongoing asylum cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11752913\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11752913\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/10-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/10-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/10-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/10-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/10-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/10-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/10.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Carmen Lovo looks out from a rooftop in Tijuana, Mexico, on May 23, 2019.

As they waited in line for a border officer to inspect their passports or other documents, another line began forming in a separate part of the building.

They waited for an officer to take them down several flights of stairs to the port basement, where they would be placed in a holding cell while U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) decided where they would go next.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In late May, KQED got a rare glimpse inside CBP’s Admissibility Enforcement Unit, the basement of the San Ysidro Port of Entry where asylum-seekers attempting to enter the U.S. legally from Tijuana are initially processed. Under \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/2017-Sep/CBP%20TEDS%20Policy%20Oct2015.pdf\">CBP standards\u003c/a>, people should generally not be held in such facilities for more than 72 hours, but the time limit is often exceeded. Migrants told KQED they were recently detained there for weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asylum-seeking migrants often travel for weeks or even months to get to the U.S.-Mexico border. But officials say they are overwhelmed and can process only a limited number of requests each day, so the migrants put their names on an informal list and then wait in Tijuana — sometimes for months — until it’s their turn to return to the port of entry and ask for asylum. As large numbers of asylum-seekers arrive here, the basement has become ground zero for what the agency describes as a \u003ca href=\"https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Owen-Provost-Padilla%20Joint%20Testimony.pdf\">crisis\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four asylum-seekers recently detained here told KQED that border officers denied them food, delayed medical treatment, used physical force against them or other detainees and pressured them to sign paperwork that would trigger their return to Mexico. While KQED was not able to independently verify the accounts from asylum-seekers, several individuals repeated the same observations in separate interviews.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A CBP spokeswoman denied those allegations, calling them unsubstantiated, and said the agency “treats those in its custody with dignity and respect and provides multiple avenues to report any misconduct.” She said the agency investigates all formal complaints.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The San Ysidro Port of Entry\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every day, 34,000 people walk north through the San Ysidro Port of Entry’s pedestrian crossings, and 45,000 cars move through its vehicle inspection lines, according to CBP. With 19% of all traffic coming into the United States here, San Ysidro is the busiest land border crossing in the Western Hemisphere.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/qx01gsmr8RI'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/qx01gsmr8RI'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>The port’s underground facility looks like a jail, but cleaner.

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>Updated at 1 p.m., Thursday, May 16\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump announced an immigration proposal on Thursday that would dramatically reshape the legal immigration system in the United States, prioritizing merit-based immigration over family ties and asylum-seekers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plan \"puts jobs, wages and safety of American workers first,\" Trump said in the White House Rose Garden. \"We must implement an immigration system that will allow our citizens to prosper for generations to come.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plan does not address the pressing challenge of what to do about the estimated 11 million people currently in the country illegally, one of the core issues that has animated Trump's presidency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The speech was notably softer in tone for a president who has often used harsh language when describing immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, has been quietly working on the plan for months and briefed Republican senators on the details Tuesday. A senior administration official, who spoke to reporters Wednesday on the condition that his name not be used, said the proposal was a \"good faith effort\" intended to unify Republicans and start a discussion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Right now, this is the Trump plan and we're hoping this will become the Republican plan,\" the official said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMbmQMrANic\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plan, as described by the administration official, would prioritize merit-based immigration, limiting the number of people who could get green cards by seeking asylum or based on family ties. But it would keep immigration levels static, neither increasing or decreasing the number of people allowed to legally enter the U.S. each year. Here are the elements of the proposal as described to reporters:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Securing the border:\u003c/strong> Finishing the border wall\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Protecting American wages: \u003c/strong>Stemming the flow of low-wage labor\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Attract and retain the best and brightest immigrants\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Prioritize nuclear families: \u003c/strong>It would limit family members who can come to the country to children and spouses\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Import labor for critical industries\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Preserve humanitarian values:\u003c/strong> Keep asylum system, but limit it\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Democrats criticized the plan, which House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said was “dead on arrival.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to say something about the word that they use, merit,\" Pelosi said. \"It is really a condescending word. Are they saying family is without merit? Are they saying most of the people that ever came to the United States in the history of our country are without merit because they don’t have an engineering degree? Certainly we want to attract the best to our country and that includes many people from many parts of society.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The announcement comes as the Trump administration is struggling to deal with a dramatic increase in asylum-seekers trying to enter the U.S. along the southern border, creating what many are now calling a humanitarian crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/02/15/695253043/trump-declares-national-emergency-to-help-fund-southern-border-wall\">President Trump declared a national emergency\u003c/a> to go against the wishes of Congress and shift funds to build the border wall he promised during his presidential campaign. White House aides see this as an ideal moment to try again to reshape the immigration system and enhance border security, something that requires congressional buy-in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='immigration' label='More KQED immigration coverage']Democrats are unlikely to support any immigration proposal that doesn't also address the young people who came to the U.S. as children and are now here illegally, known as Dreamers. Trump moved to eliminate the Obama-era program to give them work permits and protection from deportation, and the program is now in limbo pending court action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last time Trump and his White House proposed an immigration overhaul, it included a path to citizenship for Dreamers. While potentially more detailed, this proposal is less comprehensive than previous offers by Trump and his administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked about this omission, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said Thursday: \"Because it's a serious program, it's not included. Every single time that we have put forward or anyone else has put forward any type of immigration plan and it's included DACA, it's failed. It's a divisive thing. Certainly something to discuss and look at and address, but this plan is focused on fixing a different part of the immigration system.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DACA has registered strong bipartisan support among voters: \u003ca href=\"https://news.gallup.com/poll/235775/americans-oppose-border-walls-favor-dealing-daca.aspx\">A 2018 Gallup poll\u003c/a> found that 83% of Americans backed giving citizenship to DACA recipients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA) said Trump's plan was \"more-of-the-same\" — one that cuts family visas, guts the asylum system and funds a failed border wall — and left out those in the country on conditional status, such as Dreamers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This immoral immigration plan helps only those in the lap of privilege and leaves families in the cold,\" Angelica Salas, CHIRLA's executive director, said in a statement. \"Most importantly, we need to affirm, in no uncertain terms, that migration is not a matter of deserving — that it is a human right, not a conferred privilege. Everyone has the right to seek safety and a better life for themselves and their family, and we should aim for a fair process that lets them do that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/RepBarbaraLee/status/1129100915854794752\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., a close ally to Trump, said the proposal was purposely narrow by not addressing those in the country already.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't think it's designed to get Democratic support as much as it is to unify the Republican party around border security,\" said Graham, who characterized it more as a \"negotiating position\" than a legislative proposals. \"This is what we want on border security, this is what we want on merit-based immigration, and then we'll have to sit down and find common ground on the 11 million.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Graham was involved in the last major bipartisan effort to overhaul immigration in 2013. It passed the Senate but failed in the House. Trump's proposal has zero chance of becoming law without bipartisan support. At the moment, it isn't clear whether it has Republican buy-in, much less Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the proposal is likely to run into trouble from the right, too, because it doesn't restrict legal immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This bill will only get worse. As a starting point, it's not acceptable,\" said Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Krikorian wants to see the level of legal immigration reduced and is concerned that the Trump proposal doesn't even start by calling for a cut in immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='border' label='More KQED coverage of the U.S.-Mexico border']\"I don't think any of them really understands how important it is to his voters that there be some acknowledgement that numbers need to come down,\" said Krikorian. \"Is it an actual legislative vehicle or is it a campaign statement? And if it is real legislation why would they start with what is already a compromise position? The art of the deal says you start with an aggressive position. Why wouldn't this have cuts to legal immigration?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While insisting that this was a serious proposal, the White House official also suggested that the Democrats running for president should be asked about the plan — which isn't in the form of legislation and has no lawmakers signed on as sponsors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking in Trumpian hyperbole, the administration official boasted, \"This will probably be one of the most detailed immigration proposals that has ever been put out,\" before adding the caveat that he was talking about language to be released at some future date and not what Trump will unveil in the Rose Garden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED News' Ted Goldberg, Miranda Leitsinger and Farida Jhabvala Romero contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Every single time that we have put forward or anyone else has put forward any type of immigration plan and it's included DACA, it's failed. It's a divisive thing.

"content": "\u003cp>In recent months, thousands of migrants have gathered in Tijuana, hoping for asylum in the United States. Some will be deported before ever stepping foot in the U.S. Others will be detained by U.S. immigration authorities as they wait for their hearings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some will be allowed to live in the U.S. while their cases wind through the system. Legal experts say if they stay in California, they'll be lucky. The state has a cadre of pro bono attorneys eager to help them navigate the complicated asylum process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2017, California lawmakers approved a state budget that included $45 million in funding for immigrant legal services. With that increased funding, the state's Department of Social Services has contracted dozens of nonprofits to offer legal help to \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdss.ca.gov/Portals/9/Immigration/ISF%20Fact%20Sheet%20May%202018.pdf?ver=2018-05-11-135436-710\">thousands of immigrants\u003c/a> every year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state money is spread to organizations throughout California. But \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdss.ca.gov/Portals/9/Immigration/FY%202017-18%20Immigration%20Services%20Funding%20Award%20Announcement.pdf?ver=2017-10-31-092359-893\">regional breakdowns\u003c/a> show that nonprofits in Los Angeles and the Bay Area have received the largest chunks of money. These areas may be expensive for migrants, but the data show that having access to legal aid makes a huge difference in asylum cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still California's high cost of living continues to push families out of the very places offering the most help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A lot of our immigrant community are finding themselves having to move outside of Los Angeles so that they can afford to live,\" said \u003ca href=\"https://www.esperanza-la.org/patricia-ortiz\">Patricia Ortiz\u003c/a>, a lawyer with the Esperanza Immigrant Rights Project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But once they're there, there is not quite the same amount of resources or support that they would have here,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11710236/bay-area-asylum-seeker-anxious-as-grandmother-escorts-teen-son-to-border\">Bay Area Asylum-Seeker Anxious as Her Teen Son Is Escorted to Border by His Grandmother\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11710236/bay-area-asylum-seeker-anxious-as-grandmother-escorts-teen-son-to-border\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/RS34304_alt_806-1-1180x885.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rosa\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of Ortiz's clients, Rosa, has been in Los Angeles for about two months. She fled gang violence in El Salvador with her two children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before Rosa arrived, she pictured Los Angeles as a place full of luxury and natural beauty. Some areas of the city are like that, Rosa said. But her corner of Los Angeles looks and feels like the place she escaped from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I sometimes feel as if I were in the capital of El Salvador,\" said Rosa, who requested that her last name be withheld because her asylum case is ongoing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was surprised by how much housing costs here. During their first month in Los Angeles, Rosa and her family lived in cramped quarters with another family sleeping right next to the bathroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We chose to move because we could not access the bathroom,\" she said. \"We did not feel comfortable entering it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, Rosa has found a studio apartment near downtown LA that rents for $800 per month. But even coming up with that amount will be a struggle. Asylum-seekers are not eligible for a work permit until at least six months into their cases. Many work under the table to get by.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite these hurdles, Rosa said California provides what she didn't have in El Salvador: Safety, and the chance of a better life for her kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There is opportunity here,\" she said. \"Here, you can realize any dream you want.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ortiz said even though it is an expensive place to live, asylum-seekers in Los Angeles have access to people who want to help. For instance, she said, \"Getting our clients connected to mental health resources outside of the LA region is very difficult. It's something that we are always struggling with.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/683328305/683501501\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.humanrightsfirst.org/biography/jenna-gilbert\">Jenna Gilbert\u003c/a>, a pro bono asylum attorney at Human Rights First, said it's heartbreaking to get calls from clients who plan to leave California months into their case, because they can't afford to stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She tells them they're not just losing their lawyer. They're leaving behind California's Ninth Circuit for courts that may be more likely to deny asylum claims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you move to a small town in Texas, housing is going to be much cheaper,\" Gilbert said. \"But you probably won't have the legal resources.

But she said gangs threatened her for refusing to pay a \"war tax,\" a local form of extortion. She fled with her husband and two of her children, now aged 6 and 14.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They've been living in Los Angeles for more than two years, and they're still awaiting a decision in their asylum case. By now, they've settled into a routine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At six o'clock, we get up and get ready,\" Lizeth said. They need to be out the door by 7:20 a.m., so Lizeth can get to work by 8:30 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took Lizeth a year and a half to get her work permit. Her husband just received his. Like other asylum-seekers, they started off renting rooms in houses crammed with other occupants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But now, they can afford the $1,000 rent for their own studio apartment in the San Fernando Valley. It doesn't offer much privacy, Lizeth said. A simple room divider separates the living room from the bedroom. But their home is decked out with festive Christmas decorations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's 1,000 percent better,\" than anything she expected to have, Lizeth said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have dreams. I have goals. And I know I can achieve them. In my country, you have goals. You have hope. But everything remains a dream,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two years may sound like a long time to wait for an asylum decision. But Lizeth's attorney Jenna Gilbert said these days \"two years is on the shorter end.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As years go by, Gilbert worries that judges may start to think her clients no longer have a credible fear of gang members in their home country. She says a claim that may have been strong a few years ago, \"maybe today isn't so strong.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Things are changing so rapidly, there's really no way to provide your clients with any kind of comfort, any kind of understanding of what the road ahead might look like,\" Gilbert said.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'I have dreams. I have goals. And I know I can achieve them. In my country, you have goals. You have hope. But everything remains a dream.'\u003ccite>Lizeth, immigrant from Honduras living in L.A.\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>At this point, Gilbert is hoping that a decision in Lizeth's case is delayed until 2020 or later, when there could be a new president in the White House with more favorable asylum policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Now that we're kind of at the halfway point, I'm hoping that cases slow down as much as possible until we can see the end of this administration,\" Gilbert said. \"Hopefully.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, Lizeth and her family grow more comfortable in California every day. They've put a down payment on a car. Their kids are picking up English in school. Lizeth worries what would happen if they were deported back to Honduras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They think those of us coming from the United States are carrying a lot of money,\" she said. \"There are many cases of people who went back to Honduras and didn't live more than a month.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for now, Lizeth said, the future is bright. In Honduras, holidays were hard. She could afford to give her kids gifts or a nice meal, but never both. This year, in the U.S., she was able to make a big Christmas dinner and give her children new clothes and shoes. A nice Christmas, she said, like she hadn't had in a long time.\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Some will be deported before ever stepping foot in the U.S. Others will be detained by U.S. immigration authorities as they wait for their hearings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some will be allowed to live in the U.S. while their cases wind through the system. Legal experts say if they stay in California, they'll be lucky. The state has a cadre of pro bono attorneys eager to help them navigate the complicated asylum process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2017, California lawmakers approved a state budget that included $45 million in funding for immigrant legal services. With that increased funding, the state's Department of Social Services has contracted dozens of nonprofits to offer legal help to \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdss.ca.gov/Portals/9/Immigration/ISF%20Fact%20Sheet%20May%202018.pdf?ver=2018-05-11-135436-710\">thousands of immigrants\u003c/a> every year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state money is spread to organizations throughout California. But \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdss.ca.gov/Portals/9/Immigration/FY%202017-18%20Immigration%20Services%20Funding%20Award%20Announcement.pdf?ver=2017-10-31-092359-893\">regional breakdowns\u003c/a> show that nonprofits in Los Angeles and the Bay Area have received the largest chunks of money. These areas may be expensive for migrants, but the data show that having access to legal aid makes a huge difference in asylum cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still California's high cost of living continues to push families out of the very places offering the most help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A lot of our immigrant community are finding themselves having to move outside of Los Angeles so that they can afford to live,\" said \u003ca href=\"https://www.esperanza-la.org/patricia-ortiz\">Patricia Ortiz\u003c/a>, a lawyer with the Esperanza Immigrant Rights Project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But once they're there, there is not quite the same amount of resources or support that they would have here,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11710236/bay-area-asylum-seeker-anxious-as-grandmother-escorts-teen-son-to-border\">Bay Area Asylum-Seeker Anxious as Her Teen Son Is Escorted to Border by His Grandmother\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11710236/bay-area-asylum-seeker-anxious-as-grandmother-escorts-teen-son-to-border\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/RS34304_alt_806-1-1180x885.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rosa\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of Ortiz's clients, Rosa, has been in Los Angeles for about two months. She fled gang violence in El Salvador with her two children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before Rosa arrived, she pictured Los Angeles as a place full of luxury and natural beauty. Some areas of the city are like that, Rosa said. But her corner of Los Angeles looks and feels like the place she escaped from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I sometimes feel as if I were in the capital of El Salvador,\" said Rosa, who requested that her last name be withheld because her asylum case is ongoing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was surprised by how much housing costs here. During their first month in Los Angeles, Rosa and her family lived in cramped quarters with another family sleeping right next to the bathroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We chose to move because we could not access the bathroom,\" she said. \"We did not feel comfortable entering it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, Rosa has found a studio apartment near downtown LA that rents for $800 per month. But even coming up with that amount will be a struggle. Asylum-seekers are not eligible for a work permit until at least six months into their cases. Many work under the table to get by.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite these hurdles, Rosa said California provides what she didn't have in El Salvador: Safety, and the chance of a better life for her kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There is opportunity here,\" she said. \"Here, you can realize any dream you want.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ortiz said even though it is an expensive place to live, asylum-seekers in Los Angeles have access to people who want to help. For instance, she said, \"Getting our clients connected to mental health resources outside of the LA region is very difficult. It's something that we are always struggling with.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/683328305/683501501\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.humanrightsfirst.org/biography/jenna-gilbert\">Jenna Gilbert\u003c/a>, a pro bono asylum attorney at Human Rights First, said it's heartbreaking to get calls from clients who plan to leave California months into their case, because they can't afford to stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She tells them they're not just losing their lawyer. They're leaving behind California's Ninth Circuit for courts that may be more likely to deny asylum claims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you move to a small town in Texas, housing is going to be much cheaper,\" Gilbert said. \"But you probably won't have the legal resources.

But she said gangs threatened her for refusing to pay a \"war tax,\" a local form of extortion. She fled with her husband and two of her children, now aged 6 and 14.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They've been living in Los Angeles for more than two years, and they're still awaiting a decision in their asylum case. By now, they've settled into a routine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At six o'clock, we get up and get ready,\" Lizeth said. They need to be out the door by 7:20 a.m., so Lizeth can get to work by 8:30 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took Lizeth a year and a half to get her work permit. Her husband just received his. Like other asylum-seekers, they started off renting rooms in houses crammed with other occupants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But now, they can afford the $1,000 rent for their own studio apartment in the San Fernando Valley. It doesn't offer much privacy, Lizeth said. A simple room divider separates the living room from the bedroom. But their home is decked out with festive Christmas decorations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's 1,000 percent better,\" than anything she expected to have, Lizeth said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have dreams. I have goals. And I know I can achieve them. In my country, you have goals. You have hope. But everything remains a dream,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two years may sound like a long time to wait for an asylum decision. But Lizeth's attorney Jenna Gilbert said these days \"two years is on the shorter end.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As years go by, Gilbert worries that judges may start to think her clients no longer have a credible fear of gang members in their home country. She says a claim that may have been strong a few years ago, \"maybe today isn't so strong.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Things are changing so rapidly, there's really no way to provide your clients with any kind of comfort, any kind of understanding of what the road ahead might look like,\" Gilbert said.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'I have dreams. I have goals. And I know I can achieve them. In my country, you have goals. You have hope. But everything remains a dream.'\u003ccite>Lizeth, immigrant from Honduras living in L.A.\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>At this point, Gilbert is hoping that a decision in Lizeth's case is delayed until 2020 or later, when there could be a new president in the White House with more favorable asylum policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Now that we're kind of at the halfway point, I'm hoping that cases slow down as much as possible until we can see the end of this administration,\" Gilbert said. \"Hopefully.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, Lizeth and her family grow more comfortable in California every day. They've put a down payment on a car. Their kids are picking up English in school. Lizeth worries what would happen if they were deported back to Honduras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They think those of us coming from the United States are carrying a lot of money,\" she said. \"There are many cases of people who went back to Honduras and didn't live more than a month.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for now, Lizeth said, the future is bright. In Honduras, holidays were hard. She could afford to give her kids gifts or a nice meal, but never both. This year, in the U.S., she was able to make a big Christmas dinner and give her children new clothes and shoes. A nice Christmas, she said, like she hadn't had in a long time.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
