He went on to sign a slew of immigration-related orders, including one titled “\u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/protecting-the-american-people-against-invasion/\">Protecting The American People Against Invasion\u003c/a>,” which called for a dramatic surge in border enforcement and, among other things, the dissolution of the Family Reunification Task Force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The task force was born out of a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11964656/settlement-over-trump-family-separations-at-the-border-limits-future-separations-for-8-years\">federal settlement agreement\u003c/a>, reached in 2023 between the Biden administration and the American Civil Liberties Union after a yearslong lawsuit, that required the government to reunite thousands of families who were forcibly separated during Trump’s first term. The separations were part of the Trump administration’s “Zero Tolerance” immigration policy, a crackdown on illegal border crossings in 2018. As reports emerged of weeping children being taken from their parents’ arms and languishing behind chain-link fences, the policy drew global condemnation for its inhumane treatment of people seeking asylum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked by a reporter if he expected his new immigration orders to be challenged in the courts, Trump responded that he didn’t think they could be. “They’re very straight up,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigration and civil rights attorneys who work with separated families disagree, saying the sweeping changes will test the strength of the federal settlement agreement, which also banned most separations for eight years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s broad focus on total enforcement of all immigration laws, without specifying who exactly the orders apply to, has the ACLU and immigrant advocates on alert for anything that resembles a new family separation policy or undermines the settlement. And they’re spring-loaded to fight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We will be monitoring very closely to see whether the Trump administration faithfully applies the settlement,” said Lee Gelernt, the ACLU attorney who led the lawsuit. “And if they don’t, we’ll be back in court immediately.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly seven years after Zero Tolerance, hundreds of children remain apart from their families. For the more than 3,000 families who have already been reunited and for thousands more making their way toward the border today, even a relatively minor or temporary policy change could jeopardize their claims for asylum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Basically, [the administration is] trying to shut down the border again to all asylum seekers,” said Laura Peña, director of the South Texas Pro Bono Asylum Representation Project (ProBAR). “And that is going to affect children. It is going to affect families.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s what to know about family separation under President Trump, then and now.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A ‘shameful chapter’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>To understand how so many families ended up separated, you have to go back to pre-Trump America. Unauthorized entry to the U.S. is illegal, but for decades, adults who crossed the border illegally with their children, many of whom were fleeing violence and persecution in their home countries, were generally not prosecuted for that infraction alone. Instead, families would either be allowed to stay in the U.S. pending immigration rulings or be deported together. But things changed after Trump took office in 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That spring, the U.S. Border Patrol in El Paso, Texas, started toying with a new way to deter people from crossing the border illegally: prosecute every adult, including those crossing with kids. In April of 2018, then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/press-release/file/1049751/dl\">took the policy border-wide\u003c/a>, dubbing it “Zero Tolerance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Having children does not give you immunity from arrest and prosecution,” Sessions \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/archives/opa/speech/attorney-general-sessions-addresses-recent-criticisms-zero-tolerance-church-leaders#:~:text=That%20is%20what%20the%20law,to%20jail%20with%20their%20parents.\">later said\u003c/a> of the policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11797878]Now, when families were apprehended at the border, federal agents began sending children and their parents or guardians to separate holding facilities. A 14-year-old boy and his older sister, who had raised him, crossed the border into Texas, where they surrendered to the Border Patrol. “On the third day, they took me out of my cage and said I would be separated from my sister, but they didn’t tell me where I was going,” the boy later \u003ca href=\"https://www.hrw.org/news/2019/07/11/written-testimony-kids-cages-inhumane-treatment-border\">told a visitor from Human Rights Watch\u003c/a>. “I don’t understand why they separated us. They didn’t give me a chance to say goodbye.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three months after Zero Tolerance was formally implemented, the Trump administration began touting a dip in illegal border crossings but did not mention it was a small dip, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.politifact.com/article/2018/jul/19/did-zero-tolerance-policy-reduce-illegal-immigrati/\">typical for that time of year\u003c/a>. Meanwhile, border-area prosecutors complained that their dockets were overwhelmed by all the misdemeanor immigration cases and that people accused of serious crimes were \u003ca href=\"https://oig.justice.gov/sites/default/files/reports/21-028_0.pdf\">slipping through the cracks\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there was an even more problematic consequence of Zero Tolerance: the massive number of children who were suddenly in the care of the federal government. Children went to holding pens — many of them \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/06/19/621065383/what-we-know-family-separation-and-zero-tolerance-at-the-border\">tents\u003c/a> erected for the purpose — while they waited to be placed in shelters or foster homes. Over 40% of those detention centers were located in California, Arizona and Texas. Humanitarian workers reported that federal authorities were not prepared to care for them, so older children took care of younger ones and illnesses went untreated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, the government lost track of which children belonged to which parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11899567\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11899567\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/ap_19276669107972-4157dfa405bb5b5b5ae1512bc469aa8dc930c533-e1639768153780.jpg\" alt=\"Children walk in a line past barricades toward a large white tent.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Migrant youth line up to enter a tent at the Homestead Temporary Shelter for Unaccompanied Children in Homestead, Florida., in Feb. 2019.

While many had been reunited by then, some parents had been deported, leaving their children in the United States with other family members or in foster care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In December of 2023, the Biden administration settled the ACLU’s lawsuit by agreeing to aid in the reunification of separated families and to provide a pathway for their claims to asylum, including access to work permits, various forms of support and a three-year legal status called humanitarian parole.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before approving the settlement, federal judge Dana Sabraw, of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California in San Diego, \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/2023/12/08/separation-families-border-ruling-00130938\">said\u003c/a> family separation “represents one of the most shameful chapters in the history of our country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Out of the frying pan\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The ACLU’s Gelernt said there could be as many as 1,000 children still separated from their parents or guardians. Those families have been identified using the sparse records kept by the Trump administration during Zero Tolerance, which often yield little more than a name. The government and a coalition of nonprofit advocacy organizations have not been able to find them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11843100]Lesly Tayes, an attorney in Guatemala, has been working to track down separated parents by combing through Guatemalan government records for information on their possible whereabouts. When she finds them, often in rural indigenous communities, she helps them travel to the Guatemalan capital to formally regain custody of their kids. But some parents Tayes worked with had never been to a city in their lives. “I had to support them with transportation or hotels,” she said. “Many of them didn’t even speak Spanish.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parents who want to join their children in the U.S. and seek asylum often need help removing bureaucratic obstacles first; a sibling may need a passport for the journey or a legal guardian proof of their relationship with the child from whom they were separated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even after families are together again in the United States, their struggle is hardly over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alfonso Mercado, a psychologist in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley, has spent the last several years conducting clinical research and consulting as an expert witness in family separation cases at the border. “There was trauma everywhere,” he said. “These children were experiencing difficulties integrating into an environment that abused them,” by which he meant the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joanna Dreby, a sociologist at the State University of New York at Albany who has studied the impact of immigration policies on families for the past two decades, said that even after separated families are reunited, parents and children can struggle to repair their relationships. In some cases, children who were separated when very young are reunited with parents they don’t remember.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Kids might be like, ‘Why did they even go? Why did they do that? It led to this mess,’” Dreby said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11843880]The \u003cem>Ms. L\u003c/em> settlement agreement promises that, once reunified in the United States, families will be \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/court-approves-historic-settlement-in-aclus-family-separation-lawsuit\">supported\u003c/a> with mental health and other medical care, housing and legal assistance and the ability to apply for work permits. But advocates say these resources have fallen short of what’s needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The increase in mental health services for this population is still very scarce and very limited,” Mercado said. “There’s no continuity of care.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in the U.S., families face an avalanche of urgent problems. Tayes said parents and guardians often wait months to get authorization to work. “Some of them were struggling with food, housing. It wasn’t easy for them,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hanging over these families is the specter of another deportation. According to the ACLU, the 2023 court settlement should supersede any immigration-related orders from the Trump administration. But the agreement doesn’t guarantee asylum, and the application process can be difficult to navigate, even with the help of an attorney. Non-governmental organizations serving Ms L. class members say they have struggled to provide pro bono legal help, especially after family separations were no longer a front-page issue and funding sources dried up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question of legal status can be complicated by the fact that members of separated families are often pursuing separate immigration cases. Children’s asylum claims, for example, were often filed after the initial separation, when the government designated them as “unaccompanied.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If [parents] lose their asylum cases,” Gelernt said, “then they’re going to be in real trouble of being removed and/or re-separated from their children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Separations continue\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In settling \u003cem>Ms. L\u003c/em>, the federal government agreed to halt further family separation at the border through 2031, though there are exceptions that have allowed \u003ca href=\"https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/october-2024-monthly-report-on-separated-children.pdf\">hundreds more separations\u003c/a> since the settlement went into effect. For example, parents and children crossing the border illegally are still detained separately when the adults are deemed a national security or public safety risk, a danger to their children or if they’ve been charged with a felony other than crossing the border without authorization. However, the wording of the exceptions allows for broad interpretation. “You can basically run an 18-wheeler through them,” said one immigration law expert with knowledge of family separations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11877202\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11877202\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1232636077.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1232636077.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1232636077-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1232636077-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1232636077-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A woman protests family separations at the border as a coalition of activist groups and labor unions participate in a May Day march in Los Angeles for workers and human rights in 2021. \u003ccite>(David McNew/AFP via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Peña, whose organization ProBAR is a project of the American Bar Association, said cases in which border crossers are flagged for national security reasons are hard for attorneys like her to challenge because they often involve classified information. “The government can cite national security risk without revealing what information exactly is underlying that determination,” she said. “So it’s hard to determine the source of the risk and advocate for family reunification.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If a parent is flagged under one of the exceptions, they often go into federal immigration custody while their child goes to a shelter operated by the Office of Refugee Resettlement. Many parents are later released from custody if they successfully fight their case, but because the government has become legally responsible for their children’s welfare, strict guidelines kick in for releasing them into the care of someone else — even their parents. As a result, it can take much longer to reunite a family than to separate them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The settlement agreement mandates that families who are separated be given written notice of the reason. Agencies have to facilitate communication between parents and children, and if parents are being deported, they must be given the option to be deported with or without their children. But Peña said this doesn’t always happen: “There are certain rights that the parents have under this settlement agreement that they’re not going to know about if they don’t have a lawyer who is also educated on these.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gelernt said the ACLU is relying on organizations like Peña’s to report apparent patterns in immigration enforcement. Cases of parents being flagged under the exceptions could suddenly increase, for example, creating what, in effect, becomes a new separation policy. If that happens, Gelernt said, “We’d go back to court and say, it can’t be that four out of five parents all of a sudden are abusing their children, or four out of every five parents are a public safety threat to the United States.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He thinks the Trump administration knows better than to try to renegotiate or oppose the settlement agreement or to reestablish a formal separation policy. “I’d be surprised if they do forcible separation again, given the outcry against it,” he said. “But I’ve been wrong before about where they’re willing to go.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The next chapter\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Attorneys and immigrants’ rights advocates say it’s too early to tell how Trump’s spiking the task force, which has been a collaboration between the departments of Homeland Security, Health and Human Services, State, and Justice, will impact reunification efforts. The group’s main purpose in recent months has been to determine whether separated families were eligible for relief under the settlement agreement and to smooth the way for reunification.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003cem>Ms. L\u003c/em> settlement agreement remains in effect, Gelernt said, so even without a task force, the Trump administration will have to do something to meet its requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House could not immediately be reached for comment as to whether the Trump administration intends to honor the court-ordered settlement. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which houses several federal agencies involved in immigration issues, did not respond to the same question by publication time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NGOs working with separated families said that, so far, the government appears to be meeting its obligations under the settlement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, \u003ca href=\"https://www.dhs.gov/family-reunification-task-force\">the task force’s website\u003c/a> was updated to reflect the new secretaries of Homeland Security and the State Department, Kristi Noem and Marco Rubio, and to remove references to the Biden-Harris administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11907020]The settlement agreement stipulates that the federal website where separated families can register for relief, \u003ca href=\"http://together.gov/\">Together.gov\u003c/a>, has to stay up and that the registration process has to remain open until December 2026. Gelernt worries that potential class members may be afraid to come forward in the current enforcement climate but urges them to register: “Otherwise, they are very vulnerable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if the dismantling of the task force is only symbolic, Gelernt sees it as a tactic to erase Zero Tolerance from the collective consciousness. “That they immediately eliminated the task force highlights the Trump administration’s failure to admit there was such a policy, much less acknowledge the brutal abuse it inflicted on little children,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And even without a formal policy of family separation, sweeping changes to the bureaucracy — especially when they’re rushed — can get messy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peña worries that, as Trump’s orders take effect, there may not be clear guidance for immigration authorities on the ground. “Law enforcement agencies could really be looking at anybody who’s not a citizen and trying to figure out, ‘Okay, are they a priority or not?’” she said. “Because of the complexity, a lot of people who should not be on this priority list are going to get caught up in it. And that’s where we’re going to see mass family separations, potentially not just at the border, but across the nation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ACLU believes they should be notified if class members are picked up for removal, but Gelernt acknowledges the government may hold a different view. DHS did not respond to questions about how it will handle those encounters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Erika Pinheiro, executive director of Al Otro Lado, an organization that supports migrants on both the U.S. and Mexican sides of the border, said her office has been fielding calls from separated families asking how the new executive orders could affect them. “Unfortunately, we can tell them what we know, which isn’t much at this point.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dreby, the sociologist, has observed that the mere threat of deportation and separation weighs heavily on immigrants, even those with legal status. “The ongoing anxiety is a really big deal,” she said, adding that cultural shifts can matter, as well as changes in policy. “When you have moments of really strong anti-immigrant rhetoric, the anxiety bubbles to the surface.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mercado put it more succinctly: “As a psychologist, I am very concerned about what’s to come.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, Gelernt and other legal advocates are confident that the \u003cem>Ms. L\u003c/em> settlement agreement, and their fight against Zero Tolerance during Trump’s first term, have prepared them for potential legal battles. “By the time we understood that it was systematic, it had already been happening for months and months,” Gelernt said of the original wave of family separations. “This time, I think everyone’s attuned to watching for it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>February 13, 8:50 p.m. This story has been updated to reflect that “Protecting The American People Against Invasion” was not Trump’s second executive order; it was signed later in the same sitting. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>February 13, 5:30 p.m.: This story was updated to clarify that the Ms. L settlement agreement may not require the government to alert the ACLU when it detains a member of the settlement class. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Tayes said parents and guardians often wait months to get authorization to work. “Some of them were struggling with food, housing. It wasn’t easy for them,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hanging over these families is the specter of another deportation. According to the ACLU, the 2023 court settlement should supersede any immigration-related orders from the Trump administration. But the agreement doesn’t guarantee asylum, and the application process can be difficult to navigate, even with the help of an attorney. Non-governmental organizations serving Ms L. class members say they have struggled to provide pro bono legal help, especially after family separations were no longer a front-page issue and funding sources dried up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question of legal status can be complicated by the fact that members of separated families are often pursuing separate immigration cases. Children’s asylum claims, for example, were often filed after the initial separation, when the government designated them as “unaccompanied.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If [parents] lose their asylum cases,” Gelernt said, “then they’re going to be in real trouble of being removed and/or re-separated from their children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Separations continue\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In settling \u003cem>Ms. L\u003c/em>, the federal government agreed to halt further family separation at the border through 2031, though there are exceptions that have allowed \u003ca href=\"https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/october-2024-monthly-report-on-separated-children.pdf\">hundreds more separations\u003c/a> since the settlement went into effect. For example, parents and children crossing the border illegally are still detained separately when the adults are deemed a national security or public safety risk, a danger to their children or if they’ve been charged with a felony other than crossing the border without authorization. However, the wording of the exceptions allows for broad interpretation. “You can basically run an 18-wheeler through them,” said one immigration law expert with knowledge of family separations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11877202\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11877202\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1232636077.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1232636077.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1232636077-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1232636077-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/GettyImages-1232636077-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A woman protests family separations at the border as a coalition of activist groups and labor unions participate in a May Day march in Los Angeles for workers and human rights in 2021. \u003ccite>(David McNew/AFP via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Peña, whose organization ProBAR is a project of the American Bar Association, said cases in which border crossers are flagged for national security reasons are hard for attorneys like her to challenge because they often involve classified information. “The government can cite national security risk without revealing what information exactly is underlying that determination,” she said. “So it’s hard to determine the source of the risk and advocate for family reunification.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If a parent is flagged under one of the exceptions, they often go into federal immigration custody while their child goes to a shelter operated by the Office of Refugee Resettlement. Many parents are later released from custody if they successfully fight their case, but because the government has become legally responsible for their children’s welfare, strict guidelines kick in for releasing them into the care of someone else — even their parents. As a result, it can take much longer to reunite a family than to separate them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The settlement agreement mandates that families who are separated be given written notice of the reason. Agencies have to facilitate communication between parents and children, and if parents are being deported, they must be given the option to be deported with or without their children. But Peña said this doesn’t always happen: “There are certain rights that the parents have under this settlement agreement that they’re not going to know about if they don’t have a lawyer who is also educated on these.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gelernt said the ACLU is relying on organizations like Peña’s to report apparent patterns in immigration enforcement. Cases of parents being flagged under the exceptions could suddenly increase, for example, creating what, in effect, becomes a new separation policy. If that happens, Gelernt said, “We’d go back to court and say, it can’t be that four out of five parents all of a sudden are abusing their children, or four out of every five parents are a public safety threat to the United States.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He thinks the Trump administration knows better than to try to renegotiate or oppose the settlement agreement or to reestablish a formal separation policy. “I’d be surprised if they do forcible separation again, given the outcry against it,” he said. “But I’ve been wrong before about where they’re willing to go.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The next chapter\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Attorneys and immigrants’ rights advocates say it’s too early to tell how Trump’s spiking the task force, which has been a collaboration between the departments of Homeland Security, Health and Human Services, State, and Justice, will impact reunification efforts.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which houses several federal agencies involved in immigration issues, did not respond to the same question by publication time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NGOs working with separated families said that, so far, the government appears to be meeting its obligations under the settlement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, \u003ca href=\"https://www.dhs.gov/family-reunification-task-force\">the task force’s website\u003c/a> was updated to reflect the new secretaries of Homeland Security and the State Department, Kristi Noem and Marco Rubio, and to remove references to the Biden-Harris administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Gelernt worries that potential class members may be afraid to come forward in the current enforcement climate but urges them to register: “Otherwise, they are very vulnerable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if the dismantling of the task force is only symbolic, Gelernt sees it as a tactic to erase Zero Tolerance from the collective consciousness. “That they immediately eliminated the task force highlights the Trump administration’s failure to admit there was such a policy, much less acknowledge the brutal abuse it inflicted on little children,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And even without a formal policy of family separation, sweeping changes to the bureaucracy — especially when they’re rushed — can get messy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peña worries that, as Trump’s orders take effect, there may not be clear guidance for immigration authorities on the ground. “Law enforcement agencies could really be looking at anybody who’s not a citizen and trying to figure out, ‘Okay, are they a priority or not?’” she said. “Because of the complexity, a lot of people who should not be on this priority list are going to get caught up in it.

"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",

The amendment has been interpreted as prohibiting the federal government from forcing states to use their resources to carry out federal responsibilities, such as immigration enforcement. The suit also alleges that Trump’s actions violate the separation of powers, spending clause, due process clause and administrative procedures act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the federal government illegally asserting a right it does not have, telling cities how to use their resources, and commandeering local law enforcement,” San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu said. “This is the federal government coercing local officials to bend to their will or face defunding or prosecution.

We litigated before, and we prevailed. We are litigating again, and we will prevail again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UCLA law professor Hiroshi Motomura said the Constitution does prohibit state law from conflicting with federal law but added that in past cases, the courts have ruled clearly on the sides of the states when it comes to the question of whether the federal government can force a city to use its personnel or resources to do the federal government’s job. Immigration has been clearly defined as in the purview of the federal government, Motomura added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Constitution protects city and local autonomy,” he said. “If ICE calls up San Francisco and says we need some of your police officers to back up an immigration raid, the city attorney would surely say that’s commandeering. You can’t tell us how to spend our resources, basically make local decisions for us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Motomura said part of the Trump administration’s goal is a chilling effect, to scare immigrants in sanctuary jurisdictions — and prevent other cities and counties from enacting new sanctuary laws or policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of what’s going on in the administration is, you know, basically messaging and making people afraid. And so a lot of that is accomplished whether or not there is even ever a lawsuit or even follow through,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco and Santa Clara County receive billions of dollars a year from the federal government. Chiu and LoPresti said that the Trump administration has not yet actually withheld any funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, LoPresti added, “We have seen the administration moving so fast, and oftentimes so chaotically, it’s difficult to tell when they are putting something forward or withdrawing it. So rather than be caught flat-footed, we definitely felt like we needed to be proactive rather than wait for the impacts to our residents in our community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

The suit claims that the order is in violation of federal law, which requires the U.S. to allow people to enter the country to apply for asylum and prohibits the government from returning people to a country where they face the threat of persecution or torture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Under the Proclamation, the government is doing just what Congress by statute decreed that the United States must not do. It is returning asylum seekers — not just single adults, but families too — to countries where they face persecution or torture, without allowing them to invoke the protections Congress has provided,” the suit reads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s order relies on Section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which says that the president can “suspend the entry” of non-citizens when their entry “would be detrimental to the interest of the United States.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The order classifies immigration at the southern border as an “invasion” and says that under Article IV of the Constitution, the president has the responsibility to protect the country. Trump has ordered the Secretary of Homeland Security, Secretary of State and Attorney General to block asylum seekers from entering the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit argues that Trump has not given a definition of an invasion and that immigration at any scale would not be considered one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12024922\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12024922\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/GettyImages-2194989581.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/GettyImages-2194989581.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/GettyImages-2194989581-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/GettyImages-2194989581-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/GettyImages-2194989581-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/GettyImages-2194989581-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/GettyImages-2194989581-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">President Donald Trump signs executive orders in the Oval Office on January 20, 2025, in Washington, D.C. \u003ccite>(Anna Monkeymaker/Getty)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“The invasion provision of the Constitution has in the past been used in wartime,” said Melissa Crow, the director of litigation for the Center for Gender and Refugee Studies. “We are alleging that [Trump] is abusing his authority, both because there’s not an invasion and because there are numerous separate provisions of the immigration law that give people who are either physically present in the United States or who arrive in the United States the right to apply for asylum.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other sections of the Immigration and Nationality Act prevent the U.S. from removing people who have reached ports of entry or entered the country without inspection. The law says that anyone who does arrive is entitled to apply for asylum and prohibits the country from removing non-citizens to a country where their life or freedom would be threatened or returning them to a country where the U.S. believes they would be in danger of being tortured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12025063 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/081723_Assembly-Floor-File_SN_CM-05-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As far as we can tell, under the terms of the proclamation, these people will be expelled from the United States without any process,” Crow said. “Immigration laws provide a very specific process that people have to go through before they can be removed or deported from the United States. That is not happening here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, asylum seekers who arrive without valid documents, like a visa, are entitled to an interview with an asylum officer to determine if they have a “credible fear” of returning to the country from which they fled.

La primera cláusula de la enmienda establece:\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Toda persona nacida o naturalizada en los Estados Unidos, y sujeta a su jurisdicción, es ciudadana de los Estados Unidos y del estado en que resida.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>El Congreso propuso por primera vez la 14ª Enmienda después de la Guerra Civil de 1861, para proteger los derechos de las personas afroamericanas que anteriormente fueron esclavizadas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y aunque los legisladores que redactaron la enmienda lo hicieron para responder a la discriminación que enfrentaba la población,, la Corte Suprema, que tiene la responsabilidad de interpretar lo que realmente significa la Constitución, declaró en 1898 que la ciudadanía por nacimiento \u003ca href=\"https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/169/649\">también incluye a los hijos de padres inmigrantes que no son ciudadanos de EE.UU.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>La Corte Suprema estableció este precedente en el caso histórico EE.UU. contra Wong Kim Ark, llamado así por un hombre nacido en San Francisco en la década de 1870 de padres inmigrantes chinos.

Las autoridades insistieron en que no era ciudadano estadounidense, sino un nacional chino, un grupo al que se le prohibía entrar en el país debido a la Ley de Exclusión China.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>El gobierno argumentó que la ciudadanía de Wong no dependía de dónde había nacido, sino de la nacionalidad de sus padres. Pero la Corte Suprema no aceptó esa premisa y dictaminó que Wong era ciudadano debido a que había nacido en San Francisco, y añadió que la 14ª Enmienda “en palabras claras y con intención manifiesta, incluye a los niños nacidos en el territorio de los EE.UU. de todas las demás personas, de cualquier raza o color, domiciliadas en los EE.UU.” \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12015449/a-129-year-old-san-francisco-lawsuit-could-stop-trump-from-ending-birthright-citizenship\">Lea más sobre este caso histórico de ciudadanía por nacimiento\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>¿Existen excepciones a la ciudadanía por nacimiento?\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Sí, pero solo se aplican en circunstancias muy específicas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Desde el caso \u003ci>Wong Kim Ark\u003c/i>, la Corte Suprema \u003ca href=\"http://https//efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://sgp.fas.org/crs/misc/LSB10214.pdf\">ha establecido tres excepciones a la 14.ª Enmienda\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Si, en el momento de su nacimiento, sus padres se encuentran en EE.UU. como diplomáticos extranjeros de alto rango sujetos a la jurisdicción de los EE.UU.

Pero, según las circunstancias que describe la orden, estas son las familias que podrían verse afectadas por la orden ejecutiva de ciudadanía por nacimiento de Trump:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Familias en las que ninguno de los padres tiene documentos legales de inmigración en el momento que nació su bebé.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Familias en las que ambos padres sólo tienen un estatus legal temporal, que podría incluir: \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/es/programas-humanitarios/estatus-de-proteccion-temporal\">Estatus de Protección Temporal (TPS)\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/es/DACA\">Acción Diferida para los Llegados en la Infancia (DACA)\u003c/a>, titulares de H1-B, una visa J-1 de estudiante o una visa H-2A para trabajadores agrícolas, u otra visa temporal o permiso humanitario.

Si eso sucediera, y la orden se hace cumplir el 19 de febrero, nadie nacido antes de esa fecha perderá su ciudadanía estadounidense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>La orden ejecutiva no dice nada sobre quitar la ciudadanía a las personas que ya nacieron en EE.UU. antes del 19 de febrero, independientemente del estatus migratorio de sus padres.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"espera\">\u003c/a>Estoy en espera de un bebé que podría nacer después del 19 de febrero. ¿Seguirán siendo ciudadanos estadounidenses automáticamente?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Esto es una cuestión complicada, ya que depende totalmente de lo que decidan los tribunales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En su decisión del 23 de enero, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12023740/federal-judge-temporarily-blocks-trumps-executive-order-ending-birthright-citizenship\">el juez de distrito de EE.UU. John Coughenour, del estado de Washington, congeló la orden ejecutiva solo durante 14 días, hasta el 6 de febrero\u003c/a>. Este caso fue interpuesto por los estados de Washington, Arizona, Illinois y Oregón, pero hay otras cuatro demandas importantes contra el gobierno federal (incluida la de California) que buscan revocar permanentemente la orden ejecutiva.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Un juez federal diferente podría emitir otra moratoria que vaya más allá del 6 de febrero, o anular la orden por completo. Sin embargo, el Departamento de Justicia, que representa al gobierno federal, dijo en un comunicado que \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/birthright-citizenship-donald-trump-lawsuit-immigration-9ac27b234c854a68a9b9f8c0d6cd8a1c\">“defenderá enérgicamente” la orden de Trump\u003c/a>, y se espera que apele cualquier decisión que intente detener la orden. Un caso tendría que pasar por los diferentes niveles del sistema judicial antes de llegar a la Corte Suprema, que luego tomaría una decisión definitiva.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sin embargo, no está claro si el caso llegará al expediente de la Corte Suprema antes del 19 de febrero.
