His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

She approaches race and equity not as a beat, but as a fundamental lens for all investigative and explanatory reporting.\r\n\r\nSandhya covered policing, housing, social justice movements, and the shifting demographics of cities and suburbs.\r\n\r\nShe was the creator and co-host of the podcast American Suburb, about the transformation of suburbia into the most diverse space in American life. She was the editor for Truth Be Told, an advice show for and by people of color. \r\n\r\nHer stories about race, space, and belonging were part of KQED's So Well Spoken project, which won RNDTA's Kaleidoscope award, honoring outstanding achievements in the coverage of diversity.\r\n\r\nPrior to joining KQED in 2015, Sandhya covered the 2012 presidential election from the swing state of Iowa for Iowa Public Radio. At KPBS in San Diego, she broke the story of a sexual harassment scandal that led to the mayor's resignation.\r\n\r\nShe got her start in radio working on documentaries about Oakland that investigated the high drop-out rate in public schools and mistrust between the police and the community.\r\n\r\nSandhya lives in Oakland and believes all stories are stories about power.",

That morning, as many as 37 employees complained of an odor that made them sick. Officials say five of them sought medical treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Agricultural officials took foliage samples from fields in the area. Lab tests on those samples confirmed that Vulcan, a pesticide with the controversial chemical \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2017/03/29/521898976/will-the-epa-reject-a-pesticide-or-its-own-scientific-evidence\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">chlorpyrifos\u003c/a>, and Cosavet DF, which contains sulfur, had drifted a half-mile away, into the area where the cabbage-harvesting employees were working.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sun Pacific was fined $30,250 for violating five pesticide laws. It had applied Vulcan to a number of seedless tangerine fields starting the evening before the workers got sick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investigators said the company improperly sprayed the chemical because it used a nozzle that violated the pesticide company’s label guidelines. Growers who use Vulcan are supposed to ensure that their sprays involve droplets that are too heavy to be carried through the air.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They used nozzles which created a mist which was too fine than was specified on the label,” Fankhauser said in an interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grapeman was penalized $20,000 for violating two pesticide regulations. The company applied Cosavet DF to several grape sites an hour before the illnesses were reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was windy the morning the grower used the pesticide, investigators said. The company should not have sprayed the chemicals, given the weather conditions and the possibility they could have drifted to nearby fields.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Representatives of Sun Pacific and Grapeman Farms have yet to respond to requests for comment. Both companies can appeal the fines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The penalties were announced less than a week after more than a dozen farmworkers in South Bakersfield got sick, possibly because of a chemical drift. Kern County fire officials say 13 people in that Aug. 2 incident were decontaminated after complaining of eye irritation and nausea while working in a garlic field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fankhauser says his office is investigating six farm labor contractors, landowners and pesticide applicators in connection with last week’s case.

Its largest division — the Office of Field Operations — admits people and goods at 328 airports, land crossings and seaports. They admitted 390 million travelers during the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, including 119 million at airports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much of the work done by the agency is at border crossings along the U.S.-Mexico border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The busiest point of entry is San Diego’s San Ysidro crossing with Tijuana, Mexico, with 31.8 million admissions during the latest 12-month period, an average of 87,000 per day. El Paso, Texas, across from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, was second-busiest with 28.8 million admissions, followed by San Diego’s Otay Mesa crossing (17.8 million), Laredo, Texas (17.7 million), and New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (15.9 million).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The travel ban will mostly affect airports because that’s how visitors from the six countries generally arrive. Aside from JFK, the only airports to crack the top 20 in passenger volume are Miami International (No. 11), Los Angeles International (No. 12) and San Francisco International (No. 20).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>HOW WILL OFFICERS ENFORCE THE TRAVEL BAN?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration this week set new criteria for visa applicants from the six countries and for all refugees, requiring a “close” family or business tie to the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Visas that have already been approved will not be revoked, but instructions issued by the State Department say that new applicants from the six countries must prove a relationship with a parent, spouse, child, adult son or daughter, son-in-law, daughter-in-law or sibling already in the United States to be eligible. The same requirement, with some exceptions, holds for would-be refugees from all nations that are still awaiting approval for admission to the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grandparents, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, fiances or other extended family members are not considered to be close relationships, according to the guidelines that were issued in a cable sent to all U.S. embassies and consulates late on Wednesday. The new rules take effect at 8 p.m. EDT on Thursday, according to the cable, which was obtained by \u003cem>The Associated Press\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The task will fall largely to the State Department but Customs and Border Protection officers would get involved if someone from one of the six countries arrived without a visa or there was a reason to question the validity of their documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WHAT ILLEGAL ACTIVITY DO OFFICERS FIND?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Agents primarily seize drugs and stop people seeking to enter the country illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Drugs — increasingly heroin and methamphetamine — are commonly smuggled into the United States by car from Mexico. People also enter the country illegally by hiding in trunks or by using someone else’s travel documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officers denied admission 274,821 times at airports, land crossings and seaports during the latest fiscal year, an increase of 8 percent from the same period a year earlier. They seized 257 tons of marijuana, 26.3 tons of cocaine, 18.8 tons of methamphetamine and 2.1 tons of heroin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An estimated 40 percent of people in the country illegally overstay their visas, and one of the agency’s top priorities is to better track them. The absence of a system for people to check out when they leave the country makes that a daunting and expensive endeavor. Homeland Security said in May that nearly 740,000 foreigners overstayed visas during the latest fiscal year, and that was only for those who arrived by plane or ship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>IS IT DIFFERENT THAN BORDER PATROL?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Border Patrol is another division within the agency. Customs and Border Protection agents wear blue uniforms and patrol ports of entry. Border Patrol agents work areas between and wear green uniforms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Customs and Border Protection is the nation’s largest law enforcement agency, with about 60,000 employees and an annual budget of $13.5 billion. Trump has requested a 21 percent spending increase, partly to build a wall on the border with Mexico and hire more Border Patrol agents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WHAT ABOUT THE STAFFING SHORTAGE?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration said this month that it has 1,400 vacancies for officers at ports of entry. Customs and Border Protection has struggled to fill jobs for years, largely because an unusually high number of applicants fail to pass a polygraph that has been a hiring requirement since 2012. One official recently said 75 percent failed, more than double the average among law enforcement agencies surveyed by \u003cem>The Associated Press\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House of Representatives passed a bill this month to waive the polygraph requirement for many veterans and some other applicants. Customs and Border Protection recently said it was easing some physical fitness and language requirements in hiring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration has called for expanding the Border Patrol by 5,000 agents, but has not proposed any increase in officers at airports, land crossings and seaports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Associated Press writers Alicia A. Caldwell and Matthew Lee in Washington contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Its largest division — the Office of Field Operations — admits people and goods at 328 airports, land crossings and seaports. They admitted 390 million travelers during the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, including 119 million at airports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much of the work done by the agency is at border crossings along the U.S.-Mexico border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The busiest point of entry is San Diego’s San Ysidro crossing with Tijuana, Mexico, with 31.8 million admissions during the latest 12-month period, an average of 87,000 per day. El Paso, Texas, across from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, was second-busiest with 28.8 million admissions, followed by San Diego’s Otay Mesa crossing (17.8 million), Laredo, Texas (17.7 million), and New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (15.9 million).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The travel ban will mostly affect airports because that’s how visitors from the six countries generally arrive. Aside from JFK, the only airports to crack the top 20 in passenger volume are Miami International (No. 11), Los Angeles International (No. 12) and San Francisco International (No. 20).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>HOW WILL OFFICERS ENFORCE THE TRAVEL BAN?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration this week set new criteria for visa applicants from the six countries and for all refugees, requiring a “close” family or business tie to the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Visas that have already been approved will not be revoked, but instructions issued by the State Department say that new applicants from the six countries must prove a relationship with a parent, spouse, child, adult son or daughter, son-in-law, daughter-in-law or sibling already in the United States to be eligible. The same requirement, with some exceptions, holds for would-be refugees from all nations that are still awaiting approval for admission to the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grandparents, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, fiances or other extended family members are not considered to be close relationships, according to the guidelines that were issued in a cable sent to all U.S. embassies and consulates late on Wednesday. The new rules take effect at 8 p.m. EDT on Thursday, according to the cable, which was obtained by \u003cem>The Associated Press\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The task will fall largely to the State Department but Customs and Border Protection officers would get involved if someone from one of the six countries arrived without a visa or there was a reason to question the validity of their documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WHAT ILLEGAL ACTIVITY DO OFFICERS FIND?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Agents primarily seize drugs and stop people seeking to enter the country illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Drugs — increasingly heroin and methamphetamine — are commonly smuggled into the United States by car from Mexico. People also enter the country illegally by hiding in trunks or by using someone else’s travel documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officers denied admission 274,821 times at airports, land crossings and seaports during the latest fiscal year, an increase of 8 percent from the same period a year earlier. They seized 257 tons of marijuana, 26.3 tons of cocaine, 18.8 tons of methamphetamine and 2.1 tons of heroin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An estimated 40 percent of people in the country illegally overstay their visas, and one of the agency’s top priorities is to better track them. The absence of a system for people to check out when they leave the country makes that a daunting and expensive endeavor. Homeland Security said in May that nearly 740,000 foreigners overstayed visas during the latest fiscal year, and that was only for those who arrived by plane or ship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>IS IT DIFFERENT THAN BORDER PATROL?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Border Patrol is another division within the agency. Customs and Border Protection agents wear blue uniforms and patrol ports of entry. Border Patrol agents work areas between and wear green uniforms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Customs and Border Protection is the nation’s largest law enforcement agency, with about 60,000 employees and an annual budget of $13.5 billion. Trump has requested a 21 percent spending increase, partly to build a wall on the border with Mexico and hire more Border Patrol agents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WHAT ABOUT THE STAFFING SHORTAGE?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration said this month that it has 1,400 vacancies for officers at ports of entry. Customs and Border Protection has struggled to fill jobs for years, largely because an unusually high number of applicants fail to pass a polygraph that has been a hiring requirement since 2012. One official recently said 75 percent failed, more than double the average among law enforcement agencies surveyed by \u003cem>The Associated Press\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House of Representatives passed a bill this month to waive the polygraph requirement for many veterans and some other applicants. Customs and Border Protection recently said it was easing some physical fitness and language requirements in hiring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration has called for expanding the Border Patrol by 5,000 agents, but has not proposed any increase in officers at airports, land crossings and seaports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Now in her early thirties, she came to Los Angeles from Mexico over a decade ago, and moved to Northern California to marry her now-husband, who she says turned out to be abusive and alcoholic. They wed in 2015, and she left her factory job before giving birth prematurely to her son last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11510515\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2932-1024x768.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11510515\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2932-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2932-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2932-1024x768-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2932-1024x768-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2932-1024x768-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2932-1024x768-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2932-1024x768-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2932-1024x768-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2932-1024x768-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sophora Acheson reviews the board tracking all families living at Ruby’s Place in the intake room. \u003ccite>(Virginia Fay/Peninsula Press)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Afraid that her husband had also begun physically abusing their 6-month-old baby, she came to Ruby’s Place.

Others fear using medical services — clinics note that some patients with chronic illnesses have stopped showing up for treatment. Even legal immigrants are afraid. In some areas, they’ve un-enrolled from \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/calfresh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CalFresh\u003c/a>, government food benefits available only to legal residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And many immigrant women across Northern California are too afraid to file for restraining orders, report abuse or seek U visas — predominately for victims of domestic and sexual violence —because those filings require working with law enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Acheson said before Trump took office, roughly half of their undocumented domestic violence clients were interested in working with police and filing for U visas. Now, “maybe 10 percent are willing or will request any sort of legal services,” she said. “And especially [if] they have to be in direct contact with the police and working with them for prosecution, they’ll flat out just say no, absolutely not.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When survivors do come in for help, they are often so scared that they won’t stay more than a few days or a week, even packing up their belongings and bolting in the middle of the night, under cover of darkness. “We haven’t really seen that in the past. Maybe once in a blue moon that would happen,” said Acheson. “Now, one in five undocumented families that come in will only stay a week and then flee, because they feel that they’re safer running, than sort of being a ‘sitting duck’ as they’ve called it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/327145121&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police chiefs in \u003ca href=\"http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/HPD-chief-announces-decrease-in-Hispanics-11053829.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Houston \u003c/a>and \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-immigrant-crime-reporting-drops-20170321-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Los Angeles\u003c/a> have both announced concerning decreases in reports of sexual and domestic violence by Latina women. According to the San Francisco Police Department, their unpublished data show a 14 percent decrease in reports of domestic violence by Hispanic women in the first three months of the year, compared to the same time period in the previous year. SFPD Sgt. Michael Andraychak said they couldn't attribute the drop to any particular reason, though they are aware of deportation concerns in the immigrant community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our goal is to reassure the community that victims or witnesses of any crime can come forward and report those incidents to the police, without concerns of their immigration status being questioned,” said Andraychak in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many other local law enforcement agencies, immigration lawyers and shelters say it’s too early in the new presidential administration to release conclusive data. But, from Livermore to Sacramento, organizations report observations of increased fears causing immigrants to retreat from the services they need, and the preliminary data they do have echoes the anecdotal reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Undocumented immigrants “are already so marginalized, and they’re getting nabbed by ICE and detained all the time, so it’s really scary for survivors of domestic violence … to come forward right now,” said Jill Zawisza, executive director of \u003ca href=\"http://www.womaninc.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WOMAN Inc.\u003c/a>, an organization that serves domestic violence survivors in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the election, WOMAN Inc. has received about 10 percent more calls to its domestic violence hotline and seen an increase in therapy appointments from people who don’t want to involve law enforcement. As women shy away from reporting crimes, they turn to others for help. “There’s definitely something going on,” said Zawisza. “A lot of people who want to connect, people who want to talk to someone, people who don’t want to interface with the police department for a myriad of reasons.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But service providers, like WOMAN Inc., are uncertain about how to advise their clients. “We basically tell them that anytime they call the police department to their home or into their situation, that they’re losing an element of control,” said Zawisza. \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/11/14/defiant-san-francisco-vows-to-remain-sanctuary-city/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Given San Francisco’s sanctuary status\u003c/a>, she said undocumented immigrants have a better chance of safely interacting with law enforcement, but fear is still pervasive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can’t wholeheartedly assure people that they’re not going to get in trouble if they call the police department. It’s hard to know how to respond,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morgan Weibel, executive director of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.tahirih.org/locations/san-francisco-bay-area/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">San Francisco Bay Area office of Tahirih Justice Center\u003c/a>, which specializes in legal services for immigrant women, said this is a pressing moral issue for advocates. “The current climate and situation, for me at least, has taken away my personal feeling that I could responsibly tell someone you have absolutely nothing to fear,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local police departments are also concerned about how this climate is affecting their relationships with immigrant communities, and they’re conducting outreach to maintain communication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Redwood City police Capt. John Spicer, who works closely with the immigrant community there, said his department has seen a noticeable dampening effect on victims’ and witnesses’ willingness to come forward, making it increasingly difficult for police to intervene. Such fear, he said, “means that crime is able to flourish a little more,” which impacts everyone’s safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This effect extends far beyond domestic and sexual violence survivors. “I don’t think it matters what the crime is. I think people will see law enforcement and the justice system as something that is now less accessible to them and potentially threatening to them, because they’re concerned that the federal government will somehow get that information and use it to deport them,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In early March, a man in Redwood City began shooting through the walls of his apartment and into neighbors’ homes in the middle of the night. Police came to the small, gray apartment complex, and began evacuating adjacent residences as the shooter’s gunshots blasted through walls, but one resident refused to leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This person could hear gunshots and see officers in uniform, but was convinced that the entire situation was “a ruse being used by the federal government to get them out and take them into custody,” said Spicer. As an undocumented immigrant, “that person was in peril, because they really mistrusted any form of authority.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Getting a Driver's License\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Fear of interacting with authorities is also affecting immigrants who want to obtain driver’s licenses. In January 2015, California passed a law, \u003ca href=\"https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/detail/ab60\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AB 60\u003c/a>, allowing residents without Social Security numbers to get driver’s licenses. \u003ca href=\"https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/insights/should-states-give-drivers-licenses-unauthorized-residents\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A recent Stanford study\u003c/a> found that issuing licenses to undocumented immigrants decreased hit-and-run incidents and increased overall traffic safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, data provided from the DMV show a steady decrease in AB 60 licenses issued since the program went into effect, which the department attributes to an initial rush of applications when the program began.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Gina Gates, who runs free Spanish-language driver’s education workshops for immigrants applying for AB 60 licenses in San Jose, has noted increased fear and reluctance to apply for licenses since Trump’s campaign — which may also explain the decrease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following the election, she stopped offering classes while reaching out to elected officials and the DMV to see how the program might be affected under Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11510513\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/20170523_194416-1024x576.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11510513\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/20170523_194416-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/20170523_194416-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/20170523_194416-1024x576-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/20170523_194416-1024x576-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/20170523_194416-1024x576-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/20170523_194416-1024x576-960x540.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/20170523_194416-1024x576-240x135.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/20170523_194416-1024x576-375x211.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/20170523_194416-1024x576-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A group of driver’s education students study at Gina Gates’ recent class in May, the first she’s held since the election. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Gina Gates)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Gates said many immigrants are worried that, having given their addresses to the DMV to obtain licenses, ICE may find and arrest them. Some have even considering moving. Those who haven’t applied for licenses yet are more hesitant to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gates ran her first class since the election in late May, and although she said it went well, “everyone is feeling very attacked,\" and expressed worries about being deported if they give government officials their addresses. She’s updated her curriculum to include information about their rights when approached by ICE, and to encourage parents to make plans for their children in case they’re detained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mass, the ACLU lawyer, said the risk of obtaining an AB 60 license varies case by case. “It’s a little different calculus,” she said. “Now we just say, it’s important to get a driver’s license, but it’s also important to know that getting a driver’s license might make it easier for federal immigration authorities to find you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gates will no longer list the locations or times of her classes online either, as she doesn't want that information to be available to federal immigration authorities. Instead, details of classes are circulated via word of mouth.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Anxiety Drives Down School Attendance\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"sc-dropcap\">U\u003c/span>ndocumented immigrants’ fears of deportation are acute in schools, too. In Alameda County, Assistant District Attorney Teresa Drenick has seen an uptick in immigrant families embroiled in habitual truancy cases. Rumors of ICE patrolling near schools in largely Hispanic neighborhoods inspired so much fear that parents kept their children home from school for extended periods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Moms are worried that they’re going to drop their kids off in the morning and then get swept up by immigration authorities and not be there in the afternoon, so they’re scared to do it at all,” said Drenick in a May interview. Her priority was to work with families to keep children in class, rather than to prosecute truancy cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11510512\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2967-1024x768.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11510512\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2967-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2967-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2967-1024x768-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2967-1024x768-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2967-1024x768-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2967-1024x768-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2967-1024x768-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2967-1024x768-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2967-1024x768-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nicole Knight references the Oakland Unified School District’s newly created Sanctuary District web page. \u003ccite>(Virginia Fay/Peninsula Press)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In response to deportation fears and anxiety in schools, Oakland’s Board of Education renewed \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/01/05/pre-inauguration-california-districts-declare-sanctuary-schools/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a resolution upholding the district as a sanctuary\u003c/a>.

In each case, school staff collected details about the time and place of arrest and where the family member was held and reached out to immigrant rights organizations and attorneys to obtain legal help.

Each school in the district has one mental health counselor, which Hernandez-Goff said is no longer enough to manage the mental health issues that have manifested this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ravenswood students recently completed yearly academic assessment tests. “Stress, and not having certain things in place in your everyday life, does affect your academic outcomes,” Hernandez-Goff said. “So I’m not really sure what to expect from the [test] results of this year.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Medical Services Go Unused\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The negative effects of anxiety on immigrants’ mental health extends past children. “It’s really traumatic. [We see] individuals who are going into forms of depression, individuals who now feel that they’re unwanted in the country they may have lived in for decades,” said Greg Garrett, chief of policy at \u003ca href=\"https://www.alamedahealthconsortium.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alameda Health Consortium\u003c/a>, a private, nonprofit group of health centers. “And this is causing trauma, which is actually resulting in severe mental health issues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the consortium has seen an increase in immigrants seeking mental health services, they’ve experienced a drop-off in other patients, including immigrants with chronic illnesses. In one instance, a cancer patient was in remission until she recently started showing signs of cancer again. But after two sessions, she stopped showing up for treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caseworkers eventually were able to make contact with her, and discovered she had a friend who was recently deported. Her fear of being similarly identified and detained if she continued using health services caused her to stop treatment for several months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have individuals putting their own lives at risk because of this fear,” said Garrett.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kathleen Clanon, medical director of the Health Care Services Agency of Alameda County, said that though they’ve heard of immigrants hesitating to enroll or continue enrollment in health services, at their organization they've been able to leverage their existing relationships to prevent that from happening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clanon said they're worried, though, about people who don’t have trusting relationships with doctors and are now not receiving any medical care.

Suddenly, people were picking up the phone to unenroll from CalFresh benefits. Only legal residents are eligible for CalFresh. But even legal immigrants are feeling compelled to disconnect from government food assistance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A draft executive order leaked in January seeking to deport immigrants dependent on taxpayer help incited fear that \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2017/03/28/deportation-fears-prompt-immigrants-to-cancel-food-stamps/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">legal immigrants would be deported for using social services\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That has concerned our immigrant population in terms of feeling safe about applying for CalFresh, because they don’t want that to be the reason they might be deported,” said Denise Boland, director of employment and benefits services at the Santa Clara County Social Services Agency. “So even legal immigrants are concerned now about CalFresh and don’t feel safe.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chandra Johnson, director of communications at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfhsa.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">San Francisco Human Services Agency\u003c/a>, said they can’t know for sure why people decline services, but households with at least one noncitizen were particularly likely to unenroll. Many mixed-status families are especially prone to disengage from services due to fear of family members being deported, even if the person receiving benefits has legal status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Due to the increase in mixed-status families unenrolling, and a slight decrease in applications from the same group, the San Francisco office has been reaching out to the community to ensure people know that policies have not changed, and anyone who was previously eligible for benefits still is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Any time we think that families are turning away from nutrition benefits, or having to make some of those hard choices … in a city as expensive as San Francisco, in between housing or putting food on the table or [paying for] utilities or those sorts of things,” Johnson said, “it’s a concern to us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11510519\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DSC2159-1024x684.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-large wp-image-11510519\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DSC2159-1024x684-1020x681.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DSC2159-1024x684-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DSC2159-1024x684-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DSC2159-1024x684-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DSC2159-1024x684-960x641.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DSC2159-1024x684-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DSC2159-1024x684-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DSC2159-1024x684-520x347.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DSC2159-1024x684.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Food is passed out at a Second Harvest Food Bank distribution site. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Second Harvest Food Bank)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.shfb.org/\">Second Harvest Food Bank\u003c/a>, which both distributes food through several programs independent of the government and helps people enroll in CalFresh at some of their facilities, has seen increased hesitancy in immigrants wanting to take government benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One family, of five legal refugees from Nepal living in Sunnyvale, came to the food pantry because they couldn't make ends meet. The family was paying $2,080 in monthly rent, but only bringing in a monthly income of $2,000.

And so they decided not to apply for CalFresh after all, which was kind of heartbreaking,” said Anna Dyer, Second Harvest’s director of client services. “It’s really tough to qualify for [CalFresh], because it’s only the lowest-income folks, so it means that they’re really, really struggling.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What Now?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"sc-dropcap\">I\u003c/span>ndependent and government agencies alike are struggling with how to counteract the fear of deportation that’s causing immigrants to retreat back into the shadows.

Uncertainty of what the future will bring is a major driving force in the collective anxiety felt by immigrants, and, to a lesser degree, by the service providers themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lucy Barron lives in East Palo Alto and works in administration at Ravenswood Unified School District. Steep local housing prices have led her to live in a garage with her husband and five children.

Michael Andraychak said they couldn't attribute the drop to any particular reason, though they are aware of deportation concerns in the immigrant community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our goal is to reassure the community that victims or witnesses of any crime can come forward and report those incidents to the police, without concerns of their immigration status being questioned,” said Andraychak in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many other local law enforcement agencies, immigration lawyers and shelters say it’s too early in the new presidential administration to release conclusive data. But, from Livermore to Sacramento, organizations report observations of increased fears causing immigrants to retreat from the services they need, and the preliminary data they do have echoes the anecdotal reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Undocumented immigrants “are already so marginalized, and they’re getting nabbed by ICE and detained all the time, so it’s really scary for survivors of domestic violence … to come forward right now,” said Jill Zawisza, executive director of \u003ca href=\"http://www.womaninc.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WOMAN Inc.\u003c/a>, an organization that serves domestic violence survivors in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the election, WOMAN Inc. has received about 10 percent more calls to its domestic violence hotline and seen an increase in therapy appointments from people who don’t want to involve law enforcement. As women shy away from reporting crimes, they turn to others for help. “There’s definitely something going on,” said Zawisza. “A lot of people who want to connect, people who want to talk to someone, people who don’t want to interface with the police department for a myriad of reasons.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But service providers, like WOMAN Inc., are uncertain about how to advise their clients. “We basically tell them that anytime they call the police department to their home or into their situation, that they’re losing an element of control,” said Zawisza. \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/11/14/defiant-san-francisco-vows-to-remain-sanctuary-city/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Given San Francisco’s sanctuary status\u003c/a>, she said undocumented immigrants have a better chance of safely interacting with law enforcement, but fear is still pervasive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can’t wholeheartedly assure people that they’re not going to get in trouble if they call the police department. It’s hard to know how to respond,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morgan Weibel, executive director of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.tahirih.org/locations/san-francisco-bay-area/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">San Francisco Bay Area office of Tahirih Justice Center\u003c/a>, which specializes in legal services for immigrant women, said this is a pressing moral issue for advocates. “The current climate and situation, for me at least, has taken away my personal feeling that I could responsibly tell someone you have absolutely nothing to fear,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local police departments are also concerned about how this climate is affecting their relationships with immigrant communities, and they’re conducting outreach to maintain communication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Redwood City police Capt. John Spicer, who works closely with the immigrant community there, said his department has seen a noticeable dampening effect on victims’ and witnesses’ willingness to come forward, making it increasingly difficult for police to intervene. Such fear, he said, “means that crime is able to flourish a little more,” which impacts everyone’s safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This effect extends far beyond domestic and sexual violence survivors. “I don’t think it matters what the crime is. I think people will see law enforcement and the justice system as something that is now less accessible to them and potentially threatening to them, because they’re concerned that the federal government will somehow get that information and use it to deport them,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In early March, a man in Redwood City began shooting through the walls of his apartment and into neighbors’ homes in the middle of the night. Police came to the small, gray apartment complex, and began evacuating adjacent residences as the shooter’s gunshots blasted through walls, but one resident refused to leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This person could hear gunshots and see officers in uniform, but was convinced that the entire situation was “a ruse being used by the federal government to get them out and take them into custody,” said Spicer. As an undocumented immigrant, “that person was in peril, because they really mistrusted any form of authority.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Getting a Driver's License\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Fear of interacting with authorities is also affecting immigrants who want to obtain driver’s licenses. In January 2015, California passed a law, \u003ca href=\"https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/detail/ab60\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AB 60\u003c/a>, allowing residents without Social Security numbers to get driver’s licenses. \u003ca href=\"https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/insights/should-states-give-drivers-licenses-unauthorized-residents\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A recent Stanford study\u003c/a> found that issuing licenses to undocumented immigrants decreased hit-and-run incidents and increased overall traffic safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, data provided from the DMV show a steady decrease in AB 60 licenses issued since the program went into effect, which the department attributes to an initial rush of applications when the program began.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Gina Gates, who runs free Spanish-language driver’s education workshops for immigrants applying for AB 60 licenses in San Jose, has noted increased fear and reluctance to apply for licenses since Trump’s campaign — which may also explain the decrease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following the election, she stopped offering classes while reaching out to elected officials and the DMV to see how the program might be affected under Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11510513\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/20170523_194416-1024x576.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11510513\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/20170523_194416-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/20170523_194416-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/20170523_194416-1024x576-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/20170523_194416-1024x576-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/20170523_194416-1024x576-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/20170523_194416-1024x576-960x540.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/20170523_194416-1024x576-240x135.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/20170523_194416-1024x576-375x211.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/20170523_194416-1024x576-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A group of driver’s education students study at Gina Gates’ recent class in May, the first she’s held since the election. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Gina Gates)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Gates said many immigrants are worried that, having given their addresses to the DMV to obtain licenses, ICE may find and arrest them.

She’s updated her curriculum to include information about their rights when approached by ICE, and to encourage parents to make plans for their children in case they’re detained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mass, the ACLU lawyer, said the risk of obtaining an AB 60 license varies case by case. “It’s a little different calculus,” she said. “Now we just say, it’s important to get a driver’s license, but it’s also important to know that getting a driver’s license might make it easier for federal immigration authorities to find you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gates will no longer list the locations or times of her classes online either, as she doesn't want that information to be available to federal immigration authorities.

In Alameda County, Assistant District Attorney Teresa Drenick has seen an uptick in immigrant families embroiled in habitual truancy cases. Rumors of ICE patrolling near schools in largely Hispanic neighborhoods inspired so much fear that parents kept their children home from school for extended periods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Moms are worried that they’re going to drop their kids off in the morning and then get swept up by immigration authorities and not be there in the afternoon, so they’re scared to do it at all,” said Drenick in a May interview. Her priority was to work with families to keep children in class, rather than to prosecute truancy cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11510512\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2967-1024x768.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11510512\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2967-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2967-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2967-1024x768-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2967-1024x768-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2967-1024x768-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2967-1024x768-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2967-1024x768-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2967-1024x768-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/IMG_2967-1024x768-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nicole Knight references the Oakland Unified School District’s newly created Sanctuary District web page. \u003ccite>(Virginia Fay/Peninsula Press)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In response to deportation fears and anxiety in schools, Oakland’s Board of Education renewed \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/01/05/pre-inauguration-california-districts-declare-sanctuary-schools/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a resolution upholding the district as a sanctuary\u003c/a>.

In each case, school staff collected details about the time and place of arrest and where the family member was held and reached out to immigrant rights organizations and attorneys to obtain legal help.

She educates public school counselors about the recent migration of Syrian refugees to Fresno.
