They were soon separated and spent the next 85 days apart in detention. Juan was sent to Tulsa, Oklahoma, while his son was sent to a detention shelter New York.

The adjustment came after the Senate parliamentarian determined that the higher fee did not meet the rules needed to qualify for a simple majority vote.[aside postID=news_12044974 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Presser_IMG_5746-1020x765.jpg']Arthur said adjudicating each application can be costly. “ It’s not unreasonable to expect them to pay at least $100 for their asylum application if only to cover a portion — and a very small portion of that — of the processing and adjudication fees,” he added, speaking about migrants seeking asylum to stay in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Heidi Altman, vice president of policy at the National Immigration Law Center, argued that the new or increased fees will put an “unaffordable price tag on due process” for many immigrants. According to Altman, among the biggest increases is the fee to appeal an immigration judge’s decision: from the current $110 to $900.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Many of these fees are going to become barriers or obstacles to people making their way through the very basic requirements of the immigration court system,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Safety net programs\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The initial House bill \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2025/05/28/nx-s1-5403815/congress-reconciliation-immigrants-benefits\">already stripped health coverage\u003c/a> under Affordable Care Act marketplaces and Medicare for a range of lawfully present immigrants including refugees, asylees, and those with other humanitarian protections. It also restricted eligibility for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The final version maintains those cuts while extending similar limitations to federal funding for Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program, according to Shelby Gonzales, the vice president for immigration policy at the left-leaning think tank Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The truth is that already a lot of people are barred from insurance just based off of not having the right kind of immigration status,” Gonzales said. “The changes that are made in this law go even further.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those remaining eligible for these public benefits are green card holders who have completed the five-year waiting period, certain Cubans and Haitians, and individuals residing in the U.S. under the Compacts of Free Association, which includes people from Micronesia, Palau and the Marshall Islands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arthur from the Center for Immigration Studies argued that the U.S. already faces a challenge supporting a large number of low-income citizens — even without the additional strain on the country’s social safety nets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is reasonable to expect those who come to this country to be able to provide for themselves,” he said. Arthur added that states who want to provide benefits should be able to fund them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzales said her most immediate concern is the limits to SNAP benefits, adding that she is worried whether food banks can meet potential increased demand in the future. “I don’t think that they have the capacity to help people in huge numbers that might be losing access to food immediately,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill’s changes to the Child Tax Credit will also have an impact on immigrant families. Currently, only the child needs to have a Social Security number to qualify for the benefit. While the House initially proposed requiring both parents to have a Social Security number, the final version requires just one parent to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The child tax credit will be effectively cut off for kids with two undocumented parents,” said Tara Watson, director of the Center for Economic Security and Opportunity at the Brookings Institution. “That’s a significant amount of money that assists with the wellbeing of citizen children and it will be gone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Immigration courts\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Over $3 billion is allocated to the Justice Department for immigration-related activities. That includes the hiring of more immigration judges to address the growing case backlog, which was at \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/eoir/media/1344791/dl?inline\">nearly 4 million cases\u003c/a> as of April, the latest data available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bush-Joseph from the Migration Policy Institute said the immigration court system is vastly underfunded compared to ICE and CBP, therefore the additional funding is promising. But she noted that the bill caps the number of judges to 800, which may fall short of what’s needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bush-Joseph pointed to a 2023 analysis by the \u003ca href=\"https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/R47637\">Congressional Research Service\u003c/a>, which estimated that over 1,300 judges would be necessary to eliminate the backlog over the next several years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To my mind, immigration courts will likely continue to struggle to keep up because the backlog is so huge,” she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

It’s very different from the descriptions of hardened criminals President Donald Trump has touted.

In 2013, California passed the Safe and Responsible Drivers Act, granting undocumented residents the ability to obtain driver’s licenses. More than a million undocumented Californians \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/california-divide/2023/01/drivers-licenses-undocumented-immigrants/\">got the special licenses\u003c/a>, which look slightly different than regular state licenses. Some advocates worried at the time the licenses could be misused by immigration authorities to identify people who are undocumented. ICE did not respond to a request for comment about whether it is identifying immigrants without legal status by their AB60 driver’s licenses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ordóñez said the agents let them go, so they went into the restaurant with their children and had dinner. But when they returned to the parking lot, four agents were standing around their car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They told him he had signed a voluntary return in 1996 and had not left the country, and so they were going to detain him and take him,” she said, adding that he’s currently being held in a California detention facility. Ordóñez said her husband never signed the voluntary return form.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The father has a very important role in the family, and right now, our children are traumatized.

More than a million undocumented Californians \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/california-divide/2023/01/drivers-licenses-undocumented-immigrants/\">got the special licenses\u003c/a>, which look slightly different than regular state licenses.

ICE did not respond to a request for comment about whether it is identifying immigrants without legal status by their AB60 driver’s licenses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ordóñez said the agents let them go, so they went into the restaurant with their children and had dinner. But when they returned to the parking lot, four agents were standing around their car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They told him he had signed a voluntary return in 1996 and had not left the country, and so they were going to detain him and take him,” she said, adding that he’s currently being held in a California detention facility. Ordóñez said her husband never signed the voluntary return form.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The father has a very important role in the family, and right now, our children are traumatized.

Newsom has done it when certain refugees faced removal due to old cases, like Bun’s, but Newsom’s clemency rate has been lower than that of other governors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Gov. Newsom has pardoned far fewer people than Gov. Brown,” said Angela Chan, assistant chief attorney of the San Francisco public defender’s office. “Thus far, in his six years in office, Gov. Newsom has granted \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/2024/11/11/governor-newsom-grants-executive-clemency-11-11-24/\">186 pardons\u003c/a>, an average of 31 per year. By contrast, Gov. Brown issued \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2018/12/governor-jerrry-brown-pardon-record-number/\">1,332 pardons\u003c/a> during his third and fourth terms as governor, an average of 166 pardons per year.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are limits to what California can do. Lots of legal issues remain unresolved and will be battled out in court. Most sanctuary laws have a caveat that says local law enforcement cannot cooperate with immigration authorities “unless required by a valid court order.” Experts said what constitutes a valid court order might become an issue for the courts. The U.S. Supreme Court let California’s sanctuary law stand in 2020 by not hearing a Trump challenge to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state also can’t do much about military troops entering California. The president can \u003ca href=\"https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/LSB/LSB10121\">federalize the National Guard\u003c/a>. In 2018, Trump sent nearly 6,000 active-duty service members to the border, authorizing them to perform “military protective activities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s going to have to be fought out in the courts,” said Shawn VanDiver, a national security expert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the avenues Trump is exploring to deploy the military, such as the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798, would require an invasion by a foreign government, some lawyers say. Lee Gelernt, a lawyer at the American Civil Liberties Union who argued challenges to immigration restrictions during Trump’s first term, said the president-elect’s plan to use the military is illegal, and the civil liberties organization was already preparing legal challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='More Immigration Coverage' tag='immigration']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Trump is going to do everything that he can get away with,” Mensing said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, there are limits to what Trump can do, too, particularly based on the resources he’d need to deliver on some of his campaign promises.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president-elect has said he plans to carry out a million deportations a year. The highest number of deportations in a single fiscal year in recent history was fiscal year 2012 — during the Obama administration — with 407,821 deportations across the United States. During Trump’s first term, he was only able to carry out several hundred thousand removals a year, about on par with other presidents, at least partly because of California and other states’ new sanctuary laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the American Immigration Council, the long-term cost of deporting one million people annually could average $88 billion annually, which would be higher than the Department of Homeland Security’s $62 billion budget in fiscal year 2025. It would also require massive expansions of federal immigration court systems and detention facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deportations from California have reached record lows in recent years following the changes in state law and policy about ICE pick-ups and new federal regulations about COVID-19 testing before pick-ups at state prisons, public records show.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘Power not panic’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Advocates are emphasizing the need for community preparedness and organization to combat the anticipated crackdown on immigrants in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are a lot of people actively preparing, and I think community members should take heart in that and also participate,” Mensing said. “Ultimately, that is what is going to prevent Trump from getting what he wants, which is to terrorize people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In immigrant communities across the state, advocates are helping those at risk of detention and deportation make emergency plans, including who will pick up their children from school and how to protect their assets in the United States. “Know your rights” workshops are being organized, and neighbors are helping each other get informed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Power not panic” is a mantra Mensing and others often repeat. “Trump is going to attack sanctuary cities and sanctuary states because he is vindictive. Our main tools are to be organized and to be informed,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pedro Rios, director of the American Friends Service Committee’s U.S.-Mexico Border Program, a Quaker organization, said even people with some form of legal status and protection are concerned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The amount of worry and the amount of uncertainty that people have is just tremendous, and what I tell people is to find a supportive community and to not be alone at this time,” Rios said. He said he was asked to talk to a 6-year-old child “because what he had been hearing in his school terrified him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bun said his phone has also been ringing nonstop with urgent calls from fellow Cambodian refugees across the country. Meanwhile, he’s been trying to figure out how to tell his own 3-year-old son that there might be a knock on the door, and he’ll be gone forever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is like planning a life sentence,” he said. “How could you plan for that?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Journalism engineer \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/author/mohamed-al-elew/\">Mohamed Al Elew\u003c/a> contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Newsom has done it when certain refugees faced removal due to old cases, like Bun’s, but Newsom’s clemency rate has been lower than that of other governors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Gov. Newsom has pardoned far fewer people than Gov. Brown,” said Angela Chan, assistant chief attorney of the San Francisco public defender’s office. “Thus far, in his six years in office, Gov. Newsom has granted \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/2024/11/11/governor-newsom-grants-executive-clemency-11-11-24/\">186 pardons\u003c/a>, an average of 31 per year. By contrast, Gov.

Lots of legal issues remain unresolved and will be battled out in court. Most sanctuary laws have a caveat that says local law enforcement cannot cooperate with immigration authorities “unless required by a valid court order.” Experts said what constitutes a valid court order might become an issue for the courts. The U.S. Supreme Court let California’s sanctuary law stand in 2020 by not hearing a Trump challenge to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state also can’t do much about military troops entering California. The president can \u003ca href=\"https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/LSB/LSB10121\">federalize the National Guard\u003c/a>. In 2018, Trump sent nearly 6,000 active-duty service members to the border, authorizing them to perform “military protective activities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s going to have to be fought out in the courts,” said Shawn VanDiver, a national security expert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the avenues Trump is exploring to deploy the military, such as the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798, would require an invasion by a foreign government, some lawyers say. Lee Gelernt, a lawyer at the American Civil Liberties Union who argued challenges to immigration restrictions during Trump’s first term, said the president-elect’s plan to use the military is illegal, and the civil liberties organization was already preparing legal challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The highest number of deportations in a single fiscal year in recent history was fiscal year 2012 — during the Obama administration — with 407,821 deportations across the United States. During Trump’s first term, he was only able to carry out several hundred thousand removals a year, about on par with other presidents, at least partly because of California and other states’ new sanctuary laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the American Immigration Council, the long-term cost of deporting one million people annually could average $88 billion annually, which would be higher than the Department of Homeland Security’s $62 billion budget in fiscal year 2025. It would also require massive expansions of federal immigration court systems and detention facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deportations from California have reached record lows in recent years following the changes in state law and policy about ICE pick-ups and new federal regulations about COVID-19 testing before pick-ups at state prisons, public records show.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘Power not panic’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Advocates are emphasizing the need for community preparedness and organization to combat the anticipated crackdown on immigrants in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are a lot of people actively preparing, and I think community members should take heart in that and also participate,” Mensing said. “Ultimately, that is what is going to prevent Trump from getting what he wants, which is to terrorize people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In immigrant communities across the state, advocates are helping those at risk of detention and deportation make emergency plans, including who will pick up their children from school and how to protect their assets in the United States. “Know your rights” workshops are being organized, and neighbors are helping each other get informed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Power not panic” is a mantra Mensing and others often repeat. “Trump is going to attack sanctuary cities and sanctuary states because he is vindictive. Our main tools are to be organized and to be informed,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pedro Rios, director of the American Friends Service Committee’s U.S.-Mexico Border Program, a Quaker organization, said even people with some form of legal status and protection are concerned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The amount of worry and the amount of uncertainty that people have is just tremendous, and what I tell people is to find a supportive community and to not be alone at this time,” Rios said. He said he was asked to talk to a 6-year-old child “because what he had been hearing in his school terrified him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bun said his phone has also been ringing nonstop with urgent calls from fellow Cambodian refugees across the country. Meanwhile, he’s been trying to figure out how to tell his own 3-year-old son that there might be a knock on the door, and he’ll be gone forever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is like planning a life sentence,” he said. “How could you plan for that?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, signed a measure banning private prisons and detention facilities from operating in California. However, a federal court later declared the law unconstitutional as it related to immigration detention centers, saying it interfered with federal functions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2021, state lawmakers passed a bill requiring private detention centers to comply with state and local public health orders and worker safety and health regulations. That measure was adopted at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, as the virus tore through detention facilities where people were packed into dorms with little or no protection from airborne viruses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, at the Otay Mesa Detention Center in San Diego, one outbreak at the start of the pandemic infected more than 300 staff members and detainees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Health Officers Association of California, which represents the public health officers for the state’s 61 local health departments, supports Durazo’s legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These investigations play a pivotal role in identifying and addressing health and sanitary concerns within these facilities, thereby mitigating risks to detainees, staff, and the surrounding communities,” according to \u003ca href=\"https://californiahealthline.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/07/240531-SB-1132-Durazo-Support-Letter.pdf\">a letter\u003c/a> from the association’s executive director, Kat DeBurgh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the measure, public health officers \u003ca href=\"https://californiahealthline.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/07/202320240SB1132_Assembly-Public-Safety.pdf\">would determine\u003c/a> whether the facilities are complying with environmental rules, such as ensuring proper ventilation, and offering basic mental and health care, emergency treatment, and safely prepared food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike public correctional facilities, which local health officers inspect every year, private detention centers would be inspected as needed, to be determined by the health officer.[aside label=\"More Immigration Coverage\" tag=\"immigration\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>GEO Group spokesperson Christopher Ferreira and ICE spokesperson Richard Beam declined to comment on the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>American Public Health Association Executive Director Georges Benjamin said public health officers are well positioned to inspect these facilities because they understand how to make confined spaces safer for large populations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though they likely can’t force the detention centers to comply with their recommendations, their reports could provide valuable information for public officials, attorneys, and others who want to pursue options such as litigation, he said. “When the system isn’t working, the courts can play a very profound role,” Benjamin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal system that monitors health care and the transmission of communicable diseases inside immigration detention centers is broken, said Annette Dekker, an assistant clinical professor of emergency medicine at UCLA, who studies health care in these facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inspections of detention centers are typically conducted by ICE employees and, up until 2022, by a private auditor.

However, a federal court later declared the law unconstitutional as it related to immigration detention centers, saying it interfered with federal functions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2021, state lawmakers passed a bill requiring private detention centers to comply with state and local public health orders and worker safety and health regulations. That measure was adopted at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, as the virus tore through detention facilities where people were packed into dorms with little or no protection from airborne viruses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, at the Otay Mesa Detention Center in San Diego, one outbreak at the start of the pandemic infected more than 300 staff members and detainees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Health Officers Association of California, which represents the public health officers for the state’s 61 local health departments, supports Durazo’s legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These investigations play a pivotal role in identifying and addressing health and sanitary concerns within these facilities, thereby mitigating risks to detainees, staff, and the surrounding communities,” according to \u003ca href=\"https://californiahealthline.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/07/240531-SB-1132-Durazo-Support-Letter.pdf\">a letter\u003c/a> from the association’s executive director, Kat DeBurgh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the measure, public health officers \u003ca href=\"https://californiahealthline.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/07/202320240SB1132_Assembly-Public-Safety.pdf\">would determine\u003c/a> whether the facilities are complying with environmental rules, such as ensuring proper ventilation, and offering basic mental and health care, emergency treatment, and safely prepared food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike public correctional facilities, which local health officers inspect every year, private detention centers would be inspected as needed, to be determined by the health officer.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In facilities with two or more hospitalizations or deaths in the previous week, all detainees are tested during intake. It is up to each facility’s medical providers to decide when a test is necessary after that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Lovos filed a complaint with the GEO Group in June, alleging medical and mental health neglect, they said they were placed in solitary confinement for 20 days without a properly functioning toilet. “I was smelling my urine and feces because I was not able to flush.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ferreira declined to address Lovos’ allegations but said via email that detainees receive “around-the-clock access to medical care,” including doctors, dentists, psychologists, and referrals to off-site specialists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“GEO takes exception to the unsubstantiated allegations that have been made regarding access to health care services at GEO-contracted ICE Processing Centers,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/assets/2024-04/OIG-24-23-Apr24.pdf\">unannounced inspection\u003c/a> by federal immigration officials in April 2023 found Golden State Annex employees did not respond within 24 hours to medical complaints, which the report said could negatively affect detainees’ health and did not properly store detainees’ medical records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lovos said that no one has addressed their concerns and that conditions have only worsened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Please come check these places out,” Lovos said in a plea to local health officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Gavin Newsom and California Department of Public Health Director Dr. Tomás Aragón.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to the letter, officials with the CDPH sat down with a group of the advocates, said Carmona-Cruz, who attended the meeting. He said the group petitioned CDPH to mandate access to Pfizer and Moderna boosters at the seven ICE detention centers in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are requesting the state to intervene, to protect the health and safety of immigrants when there’s federal inaction with regards to booster and vaccine access,” said Carmona-Cruz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CDPH is reviewing the advocates’ letter, but has “no further comment at this time,” said a spokesperson with the agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, advocates are most worried about the estimated 4,500 people in ICE detention across the country who they say are at higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19 because of underlying medical conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of them is Enrique Cristobal Meneses, who was confirmed positive for COVID-19 on Jan. 26 while held at Golden State Annex, a privately run ICE detention center north of Bakersfield. The previous week, the facility had reported no detainees with COVID-19, but \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/coronavirus\">it now has 46\u003c/a>, according to ICE’s figures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My lungs hurt. I’ve been coughing since the 21st” of January, said Cristobal, 38, who suffers from severe asthma and spoke with KQED by phone from the detention center last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cristobal contracted the virus a few days after he said guards placed a new detainee in his dorm, a man with fever, muscle aches and other coronavirus symptoms. The placement was an apparent violation of ICE’s pandemic protocols, which require detention facilities to test all new arrivals for COVID-19 and house them separately for 14 days while monitoring for any symptoms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel like their negligence put our health and our lives at risk,” said Cristobal. “I was frustrated … there were a lot of detainees displaying symptoms, and it could have been prevented with Golden State staff following protocol.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cristobal did not get a booster, he said, because the detention center only offered Johnson & Johnson doses, and he had had a bad reaction after his initial J&J vaccine. He had been requesting a Moderna or Pfizer booster since November, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Their response is you can get the Johnson & Johnson. If you don’t want it, you wait till you get out,” said Cristobal, who was transferred to ICE custody on November 2020, after serving 17 years in state prison for a conviction of attempted murder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Newsom had commuted his prison sentence and determined he was ready for release on parole, citing his rehabilitation and “exemplary disciplinary record.” But Cristobal, an immigrant from Mexico, had entered the U.S. without authorization when he was a teen. ICE considered him a public safety threat and arrested him as soon as he was released from state prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11905256\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11905256 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/RS53729_GradPhoto-qut.jpg\" alt=\"A man stands wearing a black graduation cap and gown behind a sign that's reads "Congrats Grad."\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1316\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/RS53729_GradPhoto-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/RS53729_GradPhoto-qut-800x548.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/RS53729_GradPhoto-qut-1020x699.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/RS53729_GradPhoto-qut-160x110.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/RS53729_GradPhoto-qut-1536x1053.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Enrique Cristobal Meneses celebrates earning his General Education Development degree on June 12, 2014, at the Correctional Training Facility in Soledad. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Pangea Legal Services)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A spokesperson for the GEO Group, the company that operates Golden State Annex, declined to comment on Cristobal’s COVID story. He said boosters are available to detainees, but wouldn’t say which kind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We continue to work closely with our government agency partners and state and local health departments to make vaccinations, including booster shots, available to all eligible individuals housed at ICE Processing Centers,” said the GEO spokesperson in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last March, California became \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11864820/ice-detainees-in-california-now-eligible-for-covid-19-vaccine\">one of the first states\u003c/a> to offer COVID-19 vaccines to people held at federal immigrant detention facilities, after ICE maintained for months that the state was responsible for allocating doses within its borders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>County public health departments initially distributed vaccine shipments to detention centers. But now, facilities may order doses — including Moderna — directly through the state’s MyCAvax, a system for requesting and tracking COVID-19 vaccines. The shots can be administered by either medical personnel in the ICE detention centers or county health department staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE’s Health Service Corps has also provided the single-dose J&J vaccines to detention centers. The Imperial Regional Detention Facility in Calexico, where 20 detainees currently are under isolation or monitoring for COVID-19, has received vaccines and boosters from ICE since July 2021, said Issa Arnita, a spokesperson with the prison company that runs that facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At this time, J&J is the only booster vaccine provided by the ICE Health Service Corps,” said Arnita, with Management & Training Corporation, in an email. “Boosters are available to all residents.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, medical experts have established that only offering the J&J vaccine as a booster shot falls below the standard of care expected for anyone in the country, said Eunice Cho, an attorney with the ACLU \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">National Prison Project\u003c/span>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cho filed a \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/legal-document/aclu-complaint-behalf-medically-vulnerable-people-denied-covid-19-booster-shots\">lawsuit last month on behalf of four medically vulnerable ICE\u003c/a> detainees with conditions such as asthma and diabetes who couldn’t get boosters at all, including at Golden State Annex, where Cristobal is held. A fifth plaintiff, who was advised to not take a J&J booster because he had an adverse reaction to that vaccine, was told Moderna and Pfizer doses were unavailable, according to the complaint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is really inconceivable at this point that ICE has not gotten its act together to provide COVID-19 boosters to people in detention. This really just goes beyond the pale,” said Cho.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit calls for ICE to provide boosters to the five plaintiffs, but Cho said she hopes the agency will also feel pressured to adopt a nationwide policy to offer the more effective boosters to all eligible detainees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE has been working to secure access to Pfizer or Moderna doses for all detention facilities, said an agency spokesperson, who declined to answer questions about how many detainees have gotten boosters, citing pending litigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“ICE is committed to applying CDC guidance through its Pandemic Response Requirements and regularly communicates with senior medical leadership across the federal government on its detention health standards,” said the ICE spokesperson in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Vaccine education materials have been developed and are available in multiple languages to ensure that those in our care and custody can make an informed choice during this global pandemic,” they added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Enrique Cristobal Meneses, at Golden State Annex, feared long-term damage to his lungs as he said his condition continued to deteriorate. An X-ray last week showed lung inflammation, and medical staff prescribed him antibiotics and more frequent use of an inhaler, said his attorney Jessica Yamane, with Pangea Legal Services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But on Friday, an immigration judge granted Cristobal the right to stay in the U.S, Yamane said, adding that his release will give him a chance to fully recover from the impact of COVID.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cristobal, who earned his GED and became a certified drug and alcohol counselor during his time in prison, already has job offers as a restorative justice counselor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While in ICE detention, Cristobal said he encouraged other detainees to learn about immigration law and the ICE guidelines the facility must follow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Silence is not an option,” said Cristobal. “If you know your rights, you can advocate for yourself.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Gavin Newsom and California Department of Public Health Director Dr. Tomás Aragón.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to the letter, officials with the CDPH sat down with a group of the advocates, said Carmona-Cruz, who attended the meeting. He said the group petitioned CDPH to mandate access to Pfizer and Moderna boosters at the seven ICE detention centers in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are requesting the state to intervene, to protect the health and safety of immigrants when there’s federal inaction with regards to booster and vaccine access,” said Carmona-Cruz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CDPH is reviewing the advocates’ letter, but has “no further comment at this time,” said a spokesperson with the agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, advocates are most worried about the estimated 4,500 people in ICE detention across the country who they say are at higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19 because of underlying medical conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of them is Enrique Cristobal Meneses, who was confirmed positive for COVID-19 on Jan. 26 while held at Golden State Annex, a privately run ICE detention center north of Bakersfield. The previous week, the facility had reported no detainees with COVID-19, but \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/coronavirus\">it now has 46\u003c/a>, according to ICE’s figures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My lungs hurt. I’ve been coughing since the 21st” of January, said Cristobal, 38, who suffers from severe asthma and spoke with KQED by phone from the detention center last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cristobal contracted the virus a few days after he said guards placed a new detainee in his dorm, a man with fever, muscle aches and other coronavirus symptoms. The placement was an apparent violation of ICE’s pandemic protocols, which require detention facilities to test all new arrivals for COVID-19 and house them separately for 14 days while monitoring for any symptoms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel like their negligence put our health and our lives at risk,” said Cristobal. “I was frustrated … there were a lot of detainees displaying symptoms, and it could have been prevented with Golden State staff following protocol.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cristobal did not get a booster, he said, because the detention center only offered Johnson & Johnson doses, and he had had a bad reaction after his initial J&J vaccine. He had been requesting a Moderna or Pfizer booster since November, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Their response is you can get the Johnson & Johnson. If you don’t want it, you wait till you get out,” said Cristobal, who was transferred to ICE custody on November 2020, after serving 17 years in state prison for a conviction of attempted murder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Newsom had commuted his prison sentence and determined he was ready for release on parole, citing his rehabilitation and “exemplary disciplinary record.” But Cristobal, an immigrant from Mexico, had entered the U.S. without authorization when he was a teen. ICE considered him a public safety threat and arrested him as soon as he was released from state prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11905256\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11905256 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/RS53729_GradPhoto-qut.jpg\" alt=\"A man stands wearing a black graduation cap and gown behind a sign that's reads "Congrats Grad."\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1316\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/RS53729_GradPhoto-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/RS53729_GradPhoto-qut-800x548.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/RS53729_GradPhoto-qut-1020x699.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/RS53729_GradPhoto-qut-160x110.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/RS53729_GradPhoto-qut-1536x1053.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Enrique Cristobal Meneses celebrates earning his General Education Development degree on June 12, 2014, at the Correctional Training Facility in Soledad. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Pangea Legal Services)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A spokesperson for the GEO Group, the company that operates Golden State Annex, declined to comment on Cristobal’s COVID story. He said boosters are available to detainees, but wouldn’t say which kind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We continue to work closely with our government agency partners and state and local health departments to make vaccinations, including booster shots, available to all eligible individuals housed at ICE Processing Centers,” said the GEO spokesperson in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last March, California became \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11864820/ice-detainees-in-california-now-eligible-for-covid-19-vaccine\">one of the first states\u003c/a> to offer COVID-19 vaccines to people held at federal immigrant detention facilities, after ICE maintained for months that the state was responsible for allocating doses within its borders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>County public health departments initially distributed vaccine shipments to detention centers. But now, facilities may order doses — including Moderna — directly through the state’s MyCAvax, a system for requesting and tracking COVID-19 vaccines. The shots can be administered by either medical personnel in the ICE detention centers or county health department staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE’s Health Service Corps has also provided the single-dose J&J vaccines to detention centers. The Imperial Regional Detention Facility in Calexico, where 20 detainees currently are under isolation or monitoring for COVID-19, has received vaccines and boosters from ICE since July 2021, said Issa Arnita, a spokesperson with the prison company that runs that facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At this time, J&J is the only booster vaccine provided by the ICE Health Service Corps,” said Arnita, with Management & Training Corporation, in an email. “Boosters are available to all residents.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, medical experts have established that only offering the J&J vaccine as a booster shot falls below the standard of care expected for anyone in the country, said Eunice Cho, an attorney with the ACLU \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">National Prison Project\u003c/span>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cho filed a \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/legal-document/aclu-complaint-behalf-medically-vulnerable-people-denied-covid-19-booster-shots\">lawsuit last month on behalf of four medically vulnerable ICE\u003c/a> detainees with conditions such as asthma and diabetes who couldn’t get boosters at all, including at Golden State Annex, where Cristobal is held. A fifth plaintiff, who was advised to not take a J&J booster because he had an adverse reaction to that vaccine, was told Moderna and Pfizer doses were unavailable, according to the complaint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is really inconceivable at this point that ICE has not gotten its act together to provide COVID-19 boosters to people in detention. This really just goes beyond the pale,” said Cho.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit calls for ICE to provide boosters to the five plaintiffs, but Cho said she hopes the agency will also feel pressured to adopt a nationwide policy to offer the more effective boosters to all eligible detainees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE has been working to secure access to Pfizer or Moderna doses for all detention facilities, said an agency spokesperson, who declined to answer questions about how many detainees have gotten boosters, citing pending litigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“ICE is committed to applying CDC guidance through its Pandemic Response Requirements and regularly communicates with senior medical leadership across the federal government on its detention health standards,” said the ICE spokesperson in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Vaccine education materials have been developed and are available in multiple languages to ensure that those in our care and custody can make an informed choice during this global pandemic,” they added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Enrique Cristobal Meneses, at Golden State Annex, feared long-term damage to his lungs as he said his condition continued to deteriorate. An X-ray last week showed lung inflammation, and medical staff prescribed him antibiotics and more frequent use of an inhaler, said his attorney Jessica Yamane, with Pangea Legal Services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But on Friday, an immigration judge granted Cristobal the right to stay in the U.S, Yamane said, adding that his release will give him a chance to fully recover from the impact of COVID.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cristobal, who earned his GED and became a certified drug and alcohol counselor during his time in prison, already has job offers as a restorative justice counselor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While in ICE detention, Cristobal said he encouraged other detainees to learn about immigration law and the ICE guidelines the facility must follow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Silence is not an option,” said Cristobal. “If you know your rights, you can advocate for yourself.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
