She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R.

"content": "\u003cp>University of California President Janet Napolitano strode into the Hercules High School gymnasium last week to address a couple hundred of the school’s sophomores and juniors as part of a UC college fair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was the first time Napolitano had visited a high school in West Contra Costa County, and Hercules was her choice, she said, because the school’s mix of students represents the future of California. The student body is divided about evenly between Latinx, African American, Asian and Filipino students. About half the school’s students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and many are potential first-generation college goers who come from immigrant families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They were Napolitano’s target.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We get a lot of students from Hercules High,” she told the students. “We want more.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Napolitano, who plans to retire next year, likes to tout the progress her administration has made to increase the number of first-generation students at UC campuses. Two years ago, UC enlisted over 1,000 faculty throughout the system who were first-generation students themselves to step forward and mentor newcomers. In 2016, there were 88,242 first-generation undergraduates system-wide, about a quarter of them coming in as transfers from California community colleges. Napolitano said by the time she steps down in August, 42% of UC’s undergrads will be the first in their families to attend college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Chyna Oyola, college adviser at Hercules High\"]‘[Housing] can be a make-or-break factor. It can be as much as tuition depending on where you are going.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can afford a UC education,” Napolitano told the Hercules students. “If you come from a family that makes less than $80,000 a year, you pay no tuition or fees to attend the University of California. And there is other financial aid available to help you with the cost of housing and books.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But those room-and-board costs can be enough to derail a first-generation student’s aspirations, according to Chyna Oyola, a college adviser at Hercules High.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes it can be a make-or-break factor. It can be as much as tuition depending on where you are going,” said Oyola. “Even if they get scholarships, it takes $10,000 plus to go to a four-year. If there are no scholarships it is either out-of-pocket or you don’t go.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hercules High Principal Paul Mansingh said many first-generation college goers from his school have other reasons for not wanting to attend a UC, including distance from home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Moving away from family, sometimes 600 miles away … there are a lot of reasons why a student would want to stay close to home and go to a community college instead: community, finances, family and food,” said Mansingh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Napolitano’s message resonated with Penelope Wu, a junior at Hercules High. She’s thinking a lot about college right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really stressing me out because next year I have to start my applications,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11785353\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11785353 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/Hercules-High-juniors-Emilio-De-La-Paz-and-Penelope-Wu-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Hercules High juniors Emilio De La Paz (left) and Penelope Wu are applying to UCs.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hercules High juniors Emilio De La Paz (left) and Penelope Wu are applying to UCs. \u003ccite>(Julia McEvoy/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Wu said she thinks Napolitano’s message that Hercules students can get into and afford the UCs if they try, is realistic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know a lot of high school students are all like ‘Oh my gosh I can’t get into college, I don’t have good grades.’ but I believe if junior year they start thinking about it and put in the effort, if they really want to go, they will get in,” she said. “I’m shooting for a UC but I know many of my classmates want to save a lot more money … I also believe going to community college for two years and then transferring is a very good path to take.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Principal Mansingh said his school has partnered with UC Berkeley to try and get more of its students into UC campuses. Last year 88 students applied, 58 were accepted and 40 ended up enrolling, out of a senior class of 250.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mansingh credits his partnership with the college adviser Oyola with helping get Hercules students through the process. Oyola is one of 52 advisers UC Berkeley sends to high schools across the state to help under-privileged students apply to and afford college. She’s in her second year at Hercules as part of a college advising corps which hires recent college graduates to return to their communities as mentors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to work toward educational equity,” Oyola said. “So when they recruited me I was like ‘Oh wow, I can get paid to do this?'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://dcac.berkeley.edu/\">UC Berkeley outreach program\u003c/a> has been around for over a decade but it wasn’t until last year that UC Merced replicated the program. UC Santa Barbara followed suit this year, and UCLA plans to start a similar program in 2020. With the typical ratio of California high school counselors to students \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2019/many-california-schools-have-police-but-no-counselors-aclu-report-finds/609643\">at nearly 700 to 1\u003c/a>, the addition of these mentors focused on college admissions in under served schools makes a difference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oyola works to help students like Antania Ford apply and find financial aid, a process parents who haven’t already attended college may not be familiar with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11786227\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11786227\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/Antania-Ford-800x988.jpg\" alt=\"Hercules High student Antania Ford wants to attend UCLA, but she says she may opt for Diablo Valley Community College to save money.\" width=\"800\" height=\"988\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/Antania-Ford-800x988.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/Antania-Ford-160x198.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/Antania-Ford-1020x1259.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/Antania-Ford-972x1200.jpg 972w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/Antania-Ford.jpg 1512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hercules High student Antania Ford wants to attend UCLA, but she says she may opt for Diablo Valley Community College to save money. \u003ccite>(Julia McEvoy/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“I’m thinking about UCLA, Riverside, Santa Barbara. A lot of my family has been there and I’ve been there for breaks and it’s my type of environment,” said Ford.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ford said she’s willing to pay “whatever,” even if it means borrowing. “It’s really expensive. Sometimes I think about going to a community for two [years] to do the regular basic classes and then transfer to save a little bit more money and help my parents,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Student Housing Costs May Be the Biggest Hurdle\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Despite UC waiving tuition and fees for students from families earning less than $80,000 per year, California’s affordable housing crisis is a huge barrier for an increasing number of students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The cost of housing in many instances is higher than the cost of tuition,” said Napolitano. “So covering that housing cost is really important.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"More From the College Try Series\" tag=\"college-try\"]But progress toward creating more affordable housing for students has been slow, especially in Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A UC Berkeley Master Plan Task Force \u003ca href=\"http://evcp.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/housing_master_plan_task_force_final_draft_january_2017.pdf\">report\u003c/a> found UC Berkeley alone would need 15,600 beds to house 50% of undergrads and 25% of graduate students, about double its current number of beds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of 2016, the UC was providing housing, on average, for 38.1% of undergraduates and for 19.6% of graduate students across the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are on a housing construction binge,” said Napolitano. “Since I announced the presidential student housing initiative in 2016 we have added 17,000 beds and we have another 12,000 beds on the drawing board throughout the system. All the student housing that we build has to be substantially below market rent. Plus, when students live in student housing they have better retention, they form community, we call them living and learning communities. It really enriches the college experience.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hercules High junior Emilio De La Paz, 16, said he was surprised Napolitano came to his school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But I have a feeling she sees a lot of potential in this school. I feel like everyone should have the opportunity to go to college. I’m trying to prepare to get to a UC, I think it’s doable,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story is part of our series The College Try about what it takes to get a higher degree in California.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

"content": "\u003cp>Advocates for migrant families who were forcibly separated by the Trump administration in 2017 and 2018 are embarking on a new effort to locate and reunite parents and children after the federal government revealed last month that it had separated \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11782685/new-tally-totals-over-5500-kids-taken-from-parents-at-the-border\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1,556 more children\u003c/a> than previously reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The search follows a painstaking process, begun in the summer of 2018 and still not complete, to reunify more than 2,800 families that the government initially identified, under orders from a federal judge in San Diego. Locating the new group could be harder, advocates say, because most of the parents have been deported to Central America and the children have been placed with U.S. foster families or other sponsors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We may be looking at a months- or years-long process,” said Lee Gelernt, a lawyer with the American Civil Liberties Union, which represents parents in a lawsuit challenging the government’s family separation policy. “But, as we told the court, we will not stop until we find every one of these families.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public outcry swelled after then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced in April of 2018 that children would be taken away from their parents as part of a “zero tolerance” policy to criminally prosecute all adults who cross the border without authorization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two months later, President Trump ordered an end to the practice, and on June 26, 2018, U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw issued \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/legal-document/ms-l-v-ice-order-granting-plaintiffs-motion-classwide-preliminary-injunction\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an injunction\u003c/a> barring border officials from taking kids from their parents, except in rare circumstances. Sabraw ordered the families reunified and the government identified 2,814 affected children. The ACLU then set up a “steering committee” of lawyers and advocates to track down the parents and reconnect them with their kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As that process was underway, the inspector general of the Department of Health and Human Services, the agency that took custody of the children, issued a report in January saying hundreds or thousands more separated kids might have passed through HHS shelters, as much as a year before the controversial practice came to light. Sabraw then ordered the government to review the records of 47,000 unaccompanied minors in HHS custody since July 1, 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"family-separation\" label=\"Related Coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Based on that review, government lawyers began providing the ACLU with lists of names of children who were indeed separated after July 1, 2017, but were no longer in government custody on June 26, 2018, when Sabraw issued his injunction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those lists, which the ACLU says total 1,556 children, have now been turned over to the plaintiffs’ steering committee, which has 120 lawyers working on the reunification effort. Each lawyer is responsible for tracking down a set of families. But contact information provided by the government may be out-of-date, wrong or incomplete, said Steven Herzog, with the law firm \u003ca href=\"https://www.paulweiss.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Paul, Weiss,\u003c/a> which is leading the endeavor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That information dates from when the parents first entered, which means that the information is often two years old,” Herzog said. “We are provided with phone numbers for less than 20% of the parents, but for a majority of the children’s sponsors, the adults with whom the child is currently living. Those numbers also are dated, and sometimes are incorrect or do not work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes a child’s sponsor can provide a working phone number for a parent, he said.

Locating the new group could be harder, advocates say, because most of the parents have been deported to Central America and the children have been placed with U.S. foster families or other sponsors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We may be looking at a months- or years-long process,” said Lee Gelernt, a lawyer with the American Civil Liberties Union, which represents parents in a lawsuit challenging the government’s family separation policy. “But, as we told the court, we will not stop until we find every one of these families.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public outcry swelled after then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced in April of 2018 that children would be taken away from their parents as part of a “zero tolerance” policy to criminally prosecute all adults who cross the border without authorization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two months later, President Trump ordered an end to the practice, and on June 26, 2018, U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw issued \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/legal-document/ms-l-v-ice-order-granting-plaintiffs-motion-classwide-preliminary-injunction\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an injunction\u003c/a> barring border officials from taking kids from their parents, except in rare circumstances. Sabraw ordered the families reunified and the government identified 2,814 affected children. The ACLU then set up a “steering committee” of lawyers and advocates to track down the parents and reconnect them with their kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As that process was underway, the inspector general of the Department of Health and Human Services, the agency that took custody of the children, issued a report in January saying hundreds or thousands more separated kids might have passed through HHS shelters, as much as a year before the controversial practice came to light. Sabraw then ordered the government to review the records of 47,000 unaccompanied minors in HHS custody since July 1, 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Each lawyer is responsible for tracking down a set of families. But contact information provided by the government may be out-of-date, wrong or incomplete, said Steven Herzog, with the law firm \u003ca href=\"https://www.paulweiss.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Paul, Weiss,\u003c/a> which is leading the endeavor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That information dates from when the parents first entered, which means that the information is often two years old,” Herzog said. “We are provided with phone numbers for less than 20% of the parents, but for a majority of the children’s sponsors, the adults with whom the child is currently living. Those numbers also are dated, and sometimes are incorrect or do not work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes a child’s sponsor can provide a working phone number for a parent, he said. Once the lawyers do make contact with parents, they often need hard-to-find translators who speak indigenous languages, including Mayan languages \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/ff140d3396e64a9ba83485ddeaa776be\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">like Mam and K’iche’,\u003c/a> which are spoken in parts of Guatemala.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even with scores of U.S. lawyers on the case, it can be difficult to reach parents.

The move could prevent hundreds of thousands of eligible people — including more than 200,000 Californians — from becoming U.S. citizens, critics say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/news/news-releases/uscis-updates-fee-waiver-requirements?utm_source=rss-feed&utm_campaign=News%20Releases\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">new policy\u003c/a>, scheduled to go into effect December 2, applicants will no longer qualify for fee waivers based simply on the fact that they receive benefits, such as Medi-Cal or CalFresh food stamps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will still exempt applicants from filing fees if they can prove financial hardship with other documents, including federal tax transcripts that must be requested from the Internal Revenue Service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>USCIS argues the receipt of food stamps and other federally funded programs should not be considered in fee waiver requests because the income levels used to decide people’s eligibility for public benefits “vary greatly” across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked for more information about how much the income level for benefit eligibility differs from state to state, a spokeswoman with USCIS said they did not have that data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[aside tag=\"public-charge\" label=\"More Related Stories\"]\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency, which waived a total of $294 million in fees in 2018, depends on revenue from fees to fund most of its operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>USCIS Acting Director Ken Cuccinelli said the changes will make the process more fair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The revised fee waiver process will improve the integrity of the program and the quality and consistency of fee waiver approvals going forward,” said Cuccinelli. “Providing clear direction to agency adjudicators for more uniform determinations will help us to uphold our mission of efficiently and fairly adjudicating immigration requests.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An application for a lawful permanent residence document, known as a green card, costs a total of $1,225, while an application for citizenship is $725.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents said the change will be a barrier for low income immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We strongly condemn the actions of the Trump administration. It’s one more attempt to try to block access to U.S. citizenship for immigrants,” said Melissa Rodgers, director of programs at the Immigrant Legal Resource Center. “This rule has the practical effect of reserving access to U.S. citizenship for the wealthy, which is not aligned with the values of our country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Receipt of public benefits is a straightforward and popular way for people to show they qualify for a fee waiver, said Rodgers. However, having to secure tax documents adds a layer of bureaucratic maneuvering that will prevent potential citizens from applying, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Your average American is not going around having to ask the IRS for tax transcripts,” said Rodgers, who leads the New Americans Campaign, which helps people apply for citizenship. “It goes against any concept of making it easy to navigate government.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11745013/free-immigration-applications-may-become-harder-to-get-under-federal-proposal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">220,000 people\u003c/a> in California who are eligible for citizenship will no longer be able to use their current enrollment in public benefits to qualify for a free application, according to researchers with the Immigration Policy Lab at Stanford University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>USCIS estimates fee waivers totaled about $370 million in 2017, and $344 million the year before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rodgers said her organization and others are planning to challenge the new rule in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Daniels of the U.S. District Court in Manhattan said in his decision that not doing so would create unnecessary burdens for citizens across the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would be illogical, for example, if a New York resident was eligible for adjustment of status but a resident of a sister state with the same exact background was not eligible, only because the second resident had the misfortune of living somewhere not covered by a limited injunction,” Daniels said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[documentcloud url=\"http://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6467875-Public-Charge-Ruling-in-New-York.html\" responsive=true]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Daniels also said that nearly two dozen jurisdictions have brought suit against this rule, and would “wreak havoc on the immigration system if limited injunctions were issued.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, legal experts and immigrant advocates say the rulings mean good news for immigrants who worried about the rule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What it means here, locally, is that there’s protection coming out of the court order from New York and from our case. Our case protects everyone in California, so there’s kind of a double-layer of protection at this time,” said James Williams, counsel for Santa Clara County, which filed one of the lawsuits against the rule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration has argued that the public charge rule aligned with federal policy, which requires immigrants to be self-sufficient in order to obtain citizenship.

"description": "\u003ch1>The California Dream\u003c/h1>\r\nYou became a Californian because someone in your family believed in a dream. A strong public education. The promise of a job. The weather.
