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.",

Source: California Target Book \u003ccite>(Matthew Green/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“We knew that going into the campaign, there was a very good chance that the Democratic [presidential] nominee would carry these districts again,” said Oh on \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11850650/sam-oh-on-how-the-gop-flipped-back-house-seats-in-california\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KQED’s Political Breakdown\u003c/a>. “And one of the things that we wanted to do was create a path to victory that made sense, that we thought was realistic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That path included factors the campaigns could control, like recruiting diverse candidates with local roots, focusing on issues close to home and making selective (though rare) breaks with the president. The campaigns also may have benefited from having Trump on the ballot to bear the brunt of voter disappointment in his performance, potentially shielding down-ballot candidates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In these four key California House districts, voters picked Joe Biden (often by wide margins) over Trump, but still sent Republicans to Congress, according to district data from the non-partisan California Target Book.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The results confirm that in these districts, as in California as a whole, Trump is pretty massively unpopular,” said Darry Sragow, publisher of the California Target Book and a former Democratic consultant. “But it doesn’t mean the Republicans have abandoned their faith.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Republican victories in 2020 came in the Central Valley’s 21st District, the 25th District in northern Los Angeles and Ventura counties and the 39th and 48th districts in Orange County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2016, Trump lost all four districts, which caught the attention of national Democrats and led to the 2018 “Blue Wave” — when Democrats flipped those seats and three others in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2018, the president remained personally unpopular in California, and his policies, including the attempted repeal of the Affordable Care Act, family separations at the border and tax reform that limited deductions for many California suburbanites, drew the ire of Golden State voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But in 2018, Trump wasn’t on the ballot,” Sragow said. “And so you can conclude that voters who might otherwise vote for Republican candidates for congressional and legislative seats took their anger out on the party and did not vote for those Republican candidates who they otherwise would have supported.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]This year, Republicans in Orange County hoped that a more diverse slate of candidates — Kim and Steel are both Korean American immigrants — and a focus on small-dollar donations could help close the gap against Democratic incumbents Gil Cisneros and Harley Rouda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oh said the campaigns specifically targeted Vietnamese American voters in Orange County, who they believed might be open to voting for both Biden and a Republican congresswoman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the things that dynamic candidates, different candidates like Michelle Steel and Young Kim can do, is they can look to ethnic communities for ticket-splitters,” Oh said. “We campaigned very heavily in the 48th District to Vietnamese voters, and as we know … they are people who show up to vote, they lean Republican.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That outreach even included gently criticizing the president, as \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/dec/20/why-vietnamese-refugees-also-need-the-first-step/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Steel did over a Trump proposal\u003c/a> that opened the door to the deportation of some Vietnamese refugees convicted of crimes. However, other successful GOP candidates like \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11839743/congressional-rematch-pits-central-valley-democrat-against-the-republican-he-beat-in-2018\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">David Valadao\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11843447/north-of-los-angeles-two-republicans-chart-different-paths-for-political-survival\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mike Garcia chose to align themselves\u003c/a> more closely with the president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s increase in vote-by-mail participation (every registered voter received a mail ballot in 2020) could have also contributed to the ticket-splitting between the presidential and congressional contests, said Sragow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With more time to research and mull over down-ballot candidates from the comfort of their homes, voters may have felt more comfortable splitting their ticket instead of casting a party-line vote or skipping the congressional races altogether, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The difference in the total number of votes cast for president and for Congress has decreased in each election cycle since the four districts were created: from an average gap of 12,295 in 2012, to 8,280 in 2016, to just 2,970 this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"election-2020\"]Voters may also have consciously aimed for the president and Congress to serve as checks on one another, said Rob Stutzman, a Republican consultant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re in an era here of over 20 years now of American voters seeking divided government, splitting the power between the branches of government,” Stutzman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ticket-splitting was rare in U.S. Senate contests across the country this cycle, but more common in suburban districts like those in Orange County and northern Los Angeles County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And voters’ desire for moderation could inform how both parties approach the 2022 midterms, when Democrats will defend their narrow House majority in a new map determined by next year’s redistricting process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To Republicans, I think the cautionary tale is these are voters that are seeking a center, center-right direction for the country, but they certainly rejected Trump,” Stutzman said. Democrats, he added, “can’t just hang Trump around Republicans, especially going forward. Now that he’s out of office, you’re going to have to compete with ideas.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

The campaigns also may have benefited from having Trump on the ballot to bear the brunt of voter disappointment in his performance, potentially shielding down-ballot candidates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In these four key California House districts, voters picked Joe Biden (often by wide margins) over Trump, but still sent Republicans to Congress, according to district data from the non-partisan California Target Book.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The results confirm that in these districts, as in California as a whole, Trump is pretty massively unpopular,” said Darry Sragow, publisher of the California Target Book and a former Democratic consultant. “But it doesn’t mean the Republicans have abandoned their faith.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Republican victories in 2020 came in the Central Valley’s 21st District, the 25th District in northern Los Angeles and Ventura counties and the 39th and 48th districts in Orange County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2016, Trump lost all four districts, which caught the attention of national Democrats and led to the 2018 “Blue Wave” — when Democrats flipped those seats and three others in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2018, the president remained personally unpopular in California, and his policies, including the attempted repeal of the Affordable Care Act, family separations at the border and tax reform that limited deductions for many California suburbanites, drew the ire of Golden State voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But in 2018, Trump wasn’t on the ballot,” Sragow said. “And so you can conclude that voters who might otherwise vote for Republican candidates for congressional and legislative seats took their anger out on the party and did not vote for those Republican candidates who they otherwise would have supported.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Pero su derecho a permanecer y trabajar en este país depende de un amparo humanitario conocido como Estatus de Protección Temporal (o TPS por sus siglas en inglés), un programa que se ha convertido en un blanco de ataque del presidente Donald Trump. El mandatario ha intentado varias veces eliminar la parte del programa que beneficia a personas originarias de El Salvador y cinco otros países.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lo largo del mandato de Trump, Perlera ha pasado muchas noches en su casa de Concord sin poder dormir. Se preocupa que si termina el programa de TPS, podría perder su negocio y ser separado de sus dos hijos estadounidenses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Entonces cuando Joe Biden ganó las elecciones presidenciales a principios de noviembre, Perlera sintió un gran alivio al saber que un cambio radical en la política migratoria del país sería posible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Sentí una gran paz\", dijo Perlera en español. \"Me siento mucho más relajado y tranquilo. Ahora espero que este nuevo gobierno de Biden cumpla lo que nos ha prometido\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perlera es tan sólo uno de los casi 250 mil trabajadores en California quienes tienen un estatus temporal, el cual podría recibir protección de la administración de Biden. Cabe mencionar que 85 mil de estos obreros son considerados como esenciales. Se espera que el Presidente electo use su poder ejecutivo para revertir muchas de las órdenes de Trump para limitar la inmigración, entre las cuales se incluyen intentos para terminar con el TPS y la Acción Diferida para los Llegados en la Infancia (DACA por sus siglas en inglés). DACA beneficia a cientos de miles de jóvenes indocumentados conocidos como DREAMers o soñadores.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden por su parte ha prometido lograr una reforma migratoria que provea a los más de 11 millones de inmigrantes indocumentados en los Estados Unidos un camino a la ciudadanía, entre ellos los beneficiarios de DACA y TPS. Cumplir con esta promesa podría resultar ser mucho más difícil.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uno de los primeros obstáculos para Biden es recibir el apoyo de una mayoría del Senado, algo que no está garantizado. Pero el nuevo Presidente también tendrá que responder a situaciones más urgentes al inicio de su mandato, dijo Muzaffar Chishti, miembro principal del Instituto de política migratoria en Washington, D.C.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"La pandemia va a dominar en las conversaciones políticas por al menos un año más\", dijo Chishti. \"El poder ejecutivo tendrá muy poco tiempo libre para enfocarse en otros temas que no estén relacionados con la salud o la economía\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Presidentes anteriores como George W. Bush y Barack Obama iniciaron sus gobiernos respectivos contando con apoyo suficiente para realizar una reforma migratoria, Chishti señaló, pero emergencias como los ataques del 9/11 durante el primer año de Bush y la Gran Recesión durante el primer mandato de Obama ocuparon más atención y energía de la Casa Blanca.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Biden está heredando muy mala suerte. Imagínate, con una tasa de desempleo tan alta, ¿cómo puedes pedirla al Congreso que legalice a 11 millones de personas?\" dijo Chishti. \"Es algo muy difícil de vender y por consecuencia, creo que a corto plazo, una reforma migratoria a gran escala sería muy difícil de realizar\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11849022\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11849022\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS46071_006_KQED_Oakland_TPSPort_11182020-qut-1-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS46071_006_KQED_Oakland_TPSPort_11182020-qut-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS46071_006_KQED_Oakland_TPSPort_11182020-qut-1-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS46071_006_KQED_Oakland_TPSPort_11182020-qut-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS46071_006_KQED_Oakland_TPSPort_11182020-qut-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS46071_006_KQED_Oakland_TPSPort_11182020-qut-1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jesús Perlera maneja su camión en el puerto de Oakland el 18 de noviembre del 2020.

Asimismo, muchos recipientes de TPS (\"tepesianos\") y DACA ya han formado fuertes lazos en los Estados Unidos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lariza Digan-Cuadra, quien dirige el Centro de Recursos Centroamericanos en San Francisco, dijo que simplemente no será suficiente que el próximo Presidente restaure las protecciones temporales como existían antes de que Trump intentara eliminarlas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Según la ley, el amparo que provee el TPS dura de 6 a 18 meses. Beneficiarios de DACA deben de aplicar de nuevo cada dos años.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Como eran las cosas antes será una buena línea de partida\", dijo Dugan-Cuadra. \"Consideramos eso solamente como un plan de corto plazo, pero no aceptaremos algo que no sea una reforma legislativa para proveer un estatus permanente a los DREAMers y tepesianos\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Varias cortes federales han atrasado las acciones de Trump para acabar con el estatus de TPS para más de 400 mil personas provenientes de El Salvador, Haití, Honduras, Nepal, Nicaragua y Sudán. Pero este otoño pasado, un panel de tres jueces de la corte de apelaciones del 9o circuito falló en favor de Trump y declaró que el Presidente sí podía terminar con estos programas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los demandantes de ese caso, un grupo de tepesianos y sus hijos estadounidenses, planean solicitar una segunda revisión del caso por la corte del 9o circuito. La fecha más temprana en que oficiales de inmigracion podrían anular los permisos de trabajos de personas provenientes de El Salvador es a principios de noviembre del 2021. Inmigrantes de otros países podrían perder su amparo tan pronto como el próximo marzo, dijo Ahilan Arulanantham, abogado de la Unión estadounidense por las libertades civiles, quien representa a los demandantes en este caso.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Por otro lado, las cortes se han pronunciado en favor de preservar a DACA para los casi 650 mil DREAMers que tienen este estatus. Sin embargo, el gobierno de Trump ya no acepta solicitudes para este amparo luego de que intentó anular este programa en 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A principios de este año, la Corte Suprema falló en contra el gobierno federal y decidió que este no siguió la ley cuando trató de terminar DACA. Desde entonces, la administración de Trump se rehusa aceptar nuevas aplicaciones, lo que va en contra de fallos de tribunales inferiores.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>El Instituto de política migratoria estima que más de 685 mil otros jóvenes son elegibles para aplicar para este programa, aparte de los recipientes actuales de DACA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label ='Historias Relacionadas' tag='kqed-en-espanol']Según cálculos de la organización bipartidista de investigación y abogacía \"New American Economy\", casi todos los beneficiarios de DACA y TPS trabajan y pagan alrededor de $5.5 mil millones de dólares en impuestos cada año. Muchos trabajan en sectores considerados esenciales durante la pandemia, como el cuidado de salud, la educación, cuidado de personas mayores, la construcción y la producción y distribución de comida.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En California, alrededor de 27 mil 700 tepesianos y 56 mil 900 recipientes de DACA laboran en posiciones de primera línea, o sea que conllevan más riesgo de ser contagiados, afirma el Centro para el progreso estadounidense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>De manera similar a Jesús Perlera, Karla López también es una trabajadora esencial. DACA ha permitido que López, de 27 años y residente de San José, trabaje como asistente de enfermería y estudie en un programa de enfermería de una universidad comunitaria.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>La Junta directiva de enfermería de California requiere que todos los estudiantes de esa carrera posean un número de seguro social, algo que López no tenía hasta que aplicó a DACA en 2012, el año en que Obama creó el programa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"DACA me ayudó tanto al aplicar a todos los trabajos que he tenido\", dijo López, cuyo padre la trajo a Estados Unidos desde México cuando ella tenía tan solo 10 años. Ella ahora está criando a sus dos hijos. \"Me ha abierto muchas puertas\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>López trabaja en un asilo y cuida a personas mayores. Ella dice que no ha parado de trabajar durante la pandemia, incluso cuando estaba embarazada. Ella corre el riesgo de contagiarse y llevar el virus a su casa, donde se encuentra su hijo de 4 años.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Era algo muy espantoso\", dijo López, quien actualmente está bajo licencia de maternidad luego de dar a luz a su segundo hijo. \"¿Pero sabes qué? Es mi trabajo. Esta es la responsabilidad que yo escogí\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>López dijo que el triunfo de Biden la hizo sentir como si perteneciera de nuevo dentro de los Estados Unidos, después de temer por su futuro durante los cuatro años del gobierno de Trump. Ella espera que los recipientes de DACA y todos los otros inmigrantes indocumentados se conviertan un día en ciudadanos de Estados Unidos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Hemos vivido aquí por tanto tiempo\", dijo ella. \"Esto se ha hecho mi hogar, es donde he vivido casi toda mi vida\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11849023\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11849023\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS46081_016_KQED_Oakland_TPSPort_11182020-qut-1-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS46081_016_KQED_Oakland_TPSPort_11182020-qut-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS46081_016_KQED_Oakland_TPSPort_11182020-qut-1-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS46081_016_KQED_Oakland_TPSPort_11182020-qut-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS46081_016_KQED_Oakland_TPSPort_11182020-qut-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS46081_016_KQED_Oakland_TPSPort_11182020-qut-1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jesús Perlera cierra la puerta del remolque de su camión el pasado 18 de noviembre del 2020. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Perlera, quien ha trabajado en los Estados Unidos desde los 18 años, quiere que las contribuciones de los inmigrantes sean reconocidas y que resulten en amparos más permanentes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Le agradezco a este país por darme estas oportunidades\", dice Perlera, quien de niño soñó convertirse en camionero. \"En mi país de El Salvador, no hay tantas oportunidades como aquí\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Estos tres años pasados, Perlera enfrentó la posibilidad de la deportación y decidió que no iba a regresar con sus hijos a El Salvador, en donde la violencia de la pandilla y la pobreza siguen creciendo\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Quiero que mis hijos tengan una buena vida, no como la vida que a mí me tocó\", dijo él. \"Mi juventud era muy difícil\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perlera explicó que uno de sus siete hermanos todavía era pequeño cuando su padre murió, lo que forzó a ese hermano comenzar a trabajar en los campos de café, arroz, y otros cultivos a los 7 años.

Cabe mencionar que 85 mil de estos obreros son considerados como esenciales. Se espera que el Presidente electo use su poder ejecutivo para revertir muchas de las órdenes de Trump para limitar la inmigración, entre las cuales se incluyen intentos para terminar con el TPS y la Acción Diferida para los Llegados en la Infancia (DACA por sus siglas en inglés). DACA beneficia a cientos de miles de jóvenes indocumentados conocidos como DREAMers o soñadores.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden por su parte ha prometido lograr una reforma migratoria que provea a los más de 11 millones de inmigrantes indocumentados en los Estados Unidos un camino a la ciudadanía, entre ellos los beneficiarios de DACA y TPS. Cumplir con esta promesa podría resultar ser mucho más difícil.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uno de los primeros obstáculos para Biden es recibir el apoyo de una mayoría del Senado, algo que no está garantizado.

Bush y Barack Obama iniciaron sus gobiernos respectivos contando con apoyo suficiente para realizar una reforma migratoria, Chishti señaló, pero emergencias como los ataques del 9/11 durante el primer año de Bush y la Gran Recesión durante el primer mandato de Obama ocuparon más atención y energía de la Casa Blanca.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Biden está heredando muy mala suerte. Imagínate, con una tasa de desempleo tan alta, ¿cómo puedes pedirla al Congreso que legalice a 11 millones de personas?\" dijo Chishti. \"Es algo muy difícil de vender y por consecuencia, creo que a corto plazo, una reforma migratoria a gran escala sería muy difícil de realizar\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11849022\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11849022\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS46071_006_KQED_Oakland_TPSPort_11182020-qut-1-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS46071_006_KQED_Oakland_TPSPort_11182020-qut-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS46071_006_KQED_Oakland_TPSPort_11182020-qut-1-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS46071_006_KQED_Oakland_TPSPort_11182020-qut-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS46071_006_KQED_Oakland_TPSPort_11182020-qut-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS46071_006_KQED_Oakland_TPSPort_11182020-qut-1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jesús Perlera maneja su camión en el puerto de Oakland el 18 de noviembre del 2020.

Pero este otoño pasado, un panel de tres jueces de la corte de apelaciones del 9o circuito falló en favor de Trump y declaró que el Presidente sí podía terminar con estos programas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los demandantes de ese caso, un grupo de tepesianos y sus hijos estadounidenses, planean solicitar una segunda revisión del caso por la corte del 9o circuito. La fecha más temprana en que oficiales de inmigracion podrían anular los permisos de trabajos de personas provenientes de El Salvador es a principios de noviembre del 2021. Inmigrantes de otros países podrían perder su amparo tan pronto como el próximo marzo, dijo Ahilan Arulanantham, abogado de la Unión estadounidense por las libertades civiles, quien representa a los demandantes en este caso.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Por otro lado, las cortes se han pronunciado en favor de preservar a DACA para los casi 650 mil DREAMers que tienen este estatus. Sin embargo, el gobierno de Trump ya no acepta solicitudes para este amparo luego de que intentó anular este programa en 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A principios de este año, la Corte Suprema falló en contra el gobierno federal y decidió que este no siguió la ley cuando trató de terminar DACA. Desde entonces, la administración de Trump se rehusa aceptar nuevas aplicaciones, lo que va en contra de fallos de tribunales inferiores.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>El Instituto de política migratoria estima que más de 685 mil otros jóvenes son elegibles para aplicar para este programa, aparte de los recipientes actuales de DACA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

DACA ha permitido que López, de 27 años y residente de San José, trabaje como asistente de enfermería y estudie en un programa de enfermería de una universidad comunitaria.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>La Junta directiva de enfermería de California requiere que todos los estudiantes de esa carrera posean un número de seguro social, algo que López no tenía hasta que aplicó a DACA en 2012, el año en que Obama creó el programa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"DACA me ayudó tanto al aplicar a todos los trabajos que he tenido\", dijo López, cuyo padre la trajo a Estados Unidos desde México cuando ella tenía tan solo 10 años.

She is viewed as a leading contender to be named as Biden’s administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Mary Nichols']‘Not everybody has actually run a climate action program, or an air program for that matter.

Biden has signaled \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/7cdf40d9bd40c75861fc0053212d034a\">climate change will be a top priority\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Nichols, it would cap a career of championing stringent air pollution rules, negotiating landmark vehicle emissions standards and implementing California’s carbon trading system. She worked at the EPA from 1993 to 1997 as head of the Office of Air and Radiation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Not everybody has actually run a climate action program, or an air program for that matter. And I like working with large bureaucracies,” Nichols told The Associated Press. “If they offered it, I would take it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden’s transition team hasn’t said when he’ll announce environmental and energy nominees, and Nichols hadn’t been interviewed as of midweek. Nichols has worked before with \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/kamala-harris\">Vice President-elect Kamala Harris\u003c/a>, who was previously California’s attorney general. If Republicans hold the Senate, she may have a tough road to confirmation due to their opposition to environmental and business regulation. Republicans loyal to Trump are sure to oppose her, as California styled itself as the resistance to his administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To her allies, Nichols’ decades of experience implementing climate policy and her long relationships make her an ideal candidate to lead the agency as it goes through the arduous process of reversing Trump administration actions. During Trump’s tenure, she fought to preserve California’s ability to set its own \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/a45c4a503a7b4ea5a39c904fa18b173b\">automobile emissions standards\u003c/a> and resisted his efforts to roll back power plant pollution regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s no one in America who combines both the technical and political work and experience as Mary Nichols has,” said former California Gov. Jerry Brown, who first made Nichols chair of the California board in the late 1970s. “Having that wide scope of time and experience is invaluable, totally unique, and absolutely essential to deal with the complexities of climate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"environment,mary-nichols\" label=\"more coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Pettit, an attorney with the Natural Resources Defense Council in Los Angeles, called her “the most important actor in the climate change movement in California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But environmental groups are not united behind Nichols. Cities like Los Angeles and Fresno have some of the nation’s dirtiest air and high childhood asthma rates. Critics of California’s climate approach say the state’s policies have left low-income communities behind. The California Environmental Justice Alliance and Friends of the Earth sent a letter to Biden’s transition team Tuesday saying Nichols has ignored their suggestions and backed policies that favor industry over people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are just numerous examples of how Mary Nichols has neglected environmental justice and communities of color,” said Gladys Limon, CEJA’s executive director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Washington-based Food and Water Action isn’t taking a position on Nichols as a potential nominee, but senior energy policy analyst Jim Walsh said California has pursued a “flawed model that says that we can just make fossil fuels better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nichols began her fight against air pollution in the 1970s, when she brought a lawsuit under the Clean Air Act over dirty air in Southern California. Her current stint on the air board began in 2007 under then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Transportation makes up the largest portion of the nation’s greenhouse gas emissions, and no state has had more power in reducing them than California, which holds a major share of the American car market. The state won the power decades ago to implement its own emissions standards as smog choked Southern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in 2007, the Bush administration denied California’s request to set higher vehicle emissions standards, which in turn dictate gas mileage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the automakers sensed a political change was coming, and by the time President Barack Obama took office in 2009, Nichols was already in talks with car makers and federal officials about setting one national emissions standard, built off California’s rules. Three years later, Obama announced a requirement for the new fleet of vehicles to get 36 miles per gallon real-world driving by 2025, a major step forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just months into his tenure, Trump moved to roll back those standards and revoke California’s authority to set its own. Nichols helped persuade five companies — Ford, Honda, Volkswagen, Volvo and BMW — to buck Trump. A lawsuit is still winding through the courts, but on Monday, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1971224/gm-abandons-trumps-battle-with-california-over-clean-car-rules\">General Motors pulled out and joined with California\u003c/a>. Other automakers may soon do the same, and Biden is likely to end the efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nichols said she never spoke to Trump throughout the ordeal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration also targeted California’s cap-and-trade program, which requires polluters to buy or hold credits to emit carbon, though it lost in court. Some environmental groups oppose the market-based system, arguing it gives polluters too much leeway to continue spewing emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nichols said the air board is working to reduce pollution in the most polluted areas, but acknowledged there’s more work to be done.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Former Gov. Jerry Brown']‘There’s no one in America who combines both the technical and political work and experience as Mary Nichols has … Having that wide scope of time and experience is invaluable, totally unique and absolutely essential to deal with the complexities of climate.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Nichols prepares to leave the air board, California is pursuing more ambitious goals, including net-zero carbon emissions by 2045 and ending sales of new gas-powered vehicles by 2035. They are aggressive targets that Nichols sees as necessary to “avoid catastrophe.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden has proposed net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, which he says will mean a transition away from fossil fuels, though he is not calling for a ban.

And I like working with large bureaucracies,” Nichols told The Associated Press. “If they offered it, I would take it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden’s transition team hasn’t said when he’ll announce environmental and energy nominees, and Nichols hadn’t been interviewed as of midweek. Nichols has worked before with \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/kamala-harris\">Vice President-elect Kamala Harris\u003c/a>, who was previously California’s attorney general. If Republicans hold the Senate, she may have a tough road to confirmation due to their opposition to environmental and business regulation. Republicans loyal to Trump are sure to oppose her, as California styled itself as the resistance to his administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To her allies, Nichols’ decades of experience implementing climate policy and her long relationships make her an ideal candidate to lead the agency as it goes through the arduous process of reversing Trump administration actions. During Trump’s tenure, she fought to preserve California’s ability to set its own \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/a45c4a503a7b4ea5a39c904fa18b173b\">automobile emissions standards\u003c/a> and resisted his efforts to roll back power plant pollution regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s no one in America who combines both the technical and political work and experience as Mary Nichols has,” said former California Gov.

Cities like Los Angeles and Fresno have some of the nation’s dirtiest air and high childhood asthma rates. Critics of California’s climate approach say the state’s policies have left low-income communities behind. The California Environmental Justice Alliance and Friends of the Earth sent a letter to Biden’s transition team Tuesday saying Nichols has ignored their suggestions and backed policies that favor industry over people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are just numerous examples of how Mary Nichols has neglected environmental justice and communities of color,” said Gladys Limon, CEJA’s executive director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Washington-based Food and Water Action isn’t taking a position on Nichols as a potential nominee, but senior energy policy analyst Jim Walsh said California has pursued a “flawed model that says that we can just make fossil fuels better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nichols began her fight against air pollution in the 1970s, when she brought a lawsuit under the Clean Air Act over dirty air in Southern California.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Transportation makes up the largest portion of the nation’s greenhouse gas emissions, and no state has had more power in reducing them than California, which holds a major share of the American car market. The state won the power decades ago to implement its own emissions standards as smog choked Southern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in 2007, the Bush administration denied California’s request to set higher vehicle emissions standards, which in turn dictate gas mileage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Three years later, Obama announced a requirement for the new fleet of vehicles to get 36 miles per gallon real-world driving by 2025, a major step forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just months into his tenure, Trump moved to roll back those standards and revoke California’s authority to set its own. Nichols helped persuade five companies — Ford, Honda, Volkswagen, Volvo and BMW — to buck Trump. A lawsuit is still winding through the courts, but on Monday, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1971224/gm-abandons-trumps-battle-with-california-over-clean-car-rules\">General Motors pulled out and joined with California\u003c/a>.

Some environmental groups oppose the market-based system, arguing it gives polluters too much leeway to continue spewing emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nichols said the air board is working to reduce pollution in the most polluted areas, but acknowledged there’s more work to be done.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

At the final presidential debate in October, Biden voiced outrage over the policy, in which border agents were instructed to take children away from their mothers and fathers to facilitate criminal prosecutions of the parents and send a message intended to deter future migration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Their kids were ripped from their arms and separated. And now they cannot find over 500 sets of those parents,” Biden said during the debate. “And those kids are alone. Nowhere to go. ... It's criminal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/XaHidsQaqXE\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden was referring to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11843100/parents-of-545-children-separated-at-u-s-mexico-border-still-cant-be-found\">parents of 545 children\u003c/a> who were separated in 2017, and who lawyers and advocates say they’re still unable to locate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, the total number of families who have not been reunited — in some cases more than three years later — is believed to be far greater than that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since Trump took office in 2017, more than \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11782685/new-tally-totals-over-5500-kids-taken-from-parents-at-the-border\">5,500 children\u003c/a> have been separated due to administration policies. And while more than 3,000 parents have been located, that leaves a great many kids still in limbo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden has said that on his first day in office, he’ll create a federal task force to reunite families separated under the Trump administration. But fully addressing family separations won’t be a straightforward process — and questions remain about how far the new administration will go to address the long-term effects of these separations on the children and parents involved.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Thousands of Separated Children\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In June 2018, lawyers with the American Civil Liberties Union and the federal government appeared before U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw in San Diego as part of a months-long battle to end family separations at the U.S.-Mexico border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sabraw issued an \u003ca href=\"https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.casd.564097/gov.uscourts.casd.564097.83.0_4.pdf\">injunction\u003c/a>, ordering an end to separations and requiring the federal government to swiftly reunify children with their parents (setting a deadline of 14 days for children under the age of 5 and 30 days for older children).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The government eventually identified 2,814 separated children. These families are known as the \"original class\" in the class-action lawsuit \u003ca href=\"https://casetext.com/case/ms-l-v-us-immigration-customs-enforcement\">Ms. L. v. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement\u003c/a>. In some cases it took many months, but almost all of those families were reunited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11797878\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/GettyImages-973077552-1020x699.jpg\" label=\"More on Family Separations\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In early 2019, however, the Office of Inspector General for the Department of Health and Human Services, the agency responsible for the care of unaccompanied migrant children, \u003ca href=\"https://oig.hhs.gov/oei/reports/oei-BL-18-00511.pdf\">issued a watchdog report\u003c/a> charging that border separations began much earlier than previously known — as early as July 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Sabraw’s orders, government officials spent months investigating and finally reported there were as many as 1,556 additional separated children. As a result, Sabraw included this “expanded class” of parents in the lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Like the current class members, they too were separated from their children,” Sabraw wrote in the decision. “They were not reunited with their children despite the absence of any finding they were unfit parents or presented a danger to their children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These families make up the majority of those still separated today. Most of the parents are difficult to find because the separations occurred so long ago and many have since been deported.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Parents Who Can’t Be Found\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Of those the children in the expanded class, plaintiffs' advocates have reached the parents of 570, according to a December report to the court. They're still working on finding the parents of 628 children, nearly 300 of whom they believe to have been removed from the U.S. after their kids were taken away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ACLU attorney Lee Gelernt, who is lead counsel representing separated parents in the case, said the search for parents has been delayed because the government often provided outdated contact information or none at all.[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='ACLU lawyer Lee Gelernt']'We couldn't even begin the searches by phone, trying to contact these families.'[/pullquote]“We couldn't even begin the searches by phone, trying to contact these families,” Gelernt said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without contact information, a committee of lawyers and advocates in charge of the search have few options. They try to find parents online or through records in their country of origin, and when all else fails, they enlist a network of human rights lawyers and nonprofit organizations in Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador and Mexico, who conduct door-to-door searches. This effort has been further \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11831289/how-covid-19-has-impacted-the-search-for-separated-families\">complicated and hampered by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the challenges, Biden says his task force is committed to prioritizing the reunification of any children still separated from their families. But the details of how that might happen are still unclear.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What Else Can Be Done?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In addition to the Biden administration committing additional resources to the search, there are several other policy changes that would also help, Gelernt said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, he suggests allowing those parents to return to the U.S. and take the time they need to be reunified with their children — without fear of being deported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What I think a lot of people don't realize is that, [in addition to the parents we haven’t found] there are many more families that are [still] separated. We found them, but the Trump administration will not allow the parent to come back to the U.S. to join their child,” Gelernt said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Second, he said, providing families with some sort of legal immigration status to stay in the U.S. would help undo some of the harm caused by their forcible separations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They have been through so much,” he said, “and I think the least we can do now is to provide them with some status.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Third, Gelernt recommends the government create a fund to help families access physical and mental health care.[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='ACLU lawyer Lee Gelernt']'They have been through so much, and I think the least we can do now is to provide them with some status.'[/pullquote]Back in February, the nonprofit Physicians for Human Rights \u003ca href=\"https://phr.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/PHR-Report-2020-Family-Separation-Full-Report.pdf\">published a study\u003c/a> on parents who’d been separated from their children by the Trump administration. The study found that parents often experienced behaviors and symptoms “consistent with trauma,” and that most people in the study met the conditions for “at least one mental health condition,” such as post-traumatic stress disorder or major depression.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another paper, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11843880/us-treatment-of-migrant-children-falls-under-un-definition-of-torture-doctors-say\">recently published\u003c/a> in the medical journal Pediatrics, calls the federal government's handling of migrant children at the border \"consistent with torture.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would describe cages and sleeping on the floor and being forcefully separated from their parents as severe pain or suffering, no different than I would if someone was beaten with a truncheon,” said the paper’s co-author, Coleen Kivlahan, a family medicine doctor at UCSF and co-chair of the UCSF Health and Human Rights Initiative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, White House officials \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/white-house-killed-deal-pay-mental-health-care-migrant-families-n1248158\">blocked the Department of Justice\u003c/a> from making a deal that would have provided separated families with mental health care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, Gelernt recommends the Biden administration put an end to continued separations at the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Child Welfare Issue\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Sabraw’s injunction stopping family separations included a provision that allows Homeland Security officials to separate parents from their children if the parents are considered “unfit” or “a danger to the child.” In 2019, the ACLU \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11775527/more-than-1000-families-have-been-separated-at-the-border-despite-court-order\">asked Sabraw to reconsider that provision,\u003c/a> but the judge ultimately sided with the government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a result, more than 1,100 children have been taken away from their parents by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials under this provision, sometimes because the parent had a minor criminal conviction, or even just contact with law enforcement. Gelernt said he’s hoping these cases can be added to the ongoing class-action lawsuit against the Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"family-separation\" label=\"more coverage\"]“We do not want the kinds of separation decisions that occur under the Trump administration made by CBP and ICE officials where they are unilaterally declaring — without evidence most of the time — that the parent is a danger to the child,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates for migrant children say that any decision to take a child from their parents' custody should be made by child welfare experts, not immigration officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the government's attempting to remove a child from their parents in the dependency court context, there's a hearing. The parent has a right to counsel, as does the child.

At the final presidential debate in October, Biden voiced outrage over the policy, in which border agents were instructed to take children away from their mothers and fathers to facilitate criminal prosecutions of the parents and send a message intended to deter future migration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Their kids were ripped from their arms and separated. And now they cannot find over 500 sets of those parents,” Biden said during the debate. “And those kids are alone. Nowhere to go. ... It's criminal.”\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/XaHidsQaqXE'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/XaHidsQaqXE'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Biden was referring to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11843100/parents-of-545-children-separated-at-u-s-mexico-border-still-cant-be-found\">parents of 545 children\u003c/a> who were separated in 2017, and who lawyers and advocates say they’re still unable to locate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, the total number of families who have not been reunited — in some cases more than three years later — is believed to be far greater than that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since Trump took office in 2017, more than \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11782685/new-tally-totals-over-5500-kids-taken-from-parents-at-the-border\">5,500 children\u003c/a> have been separated due to administration policies. And while more than 3,000 parents have been located, that leaves a great many kids still in limbo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden has said that on his first day in office, he’ll create a federal task force to reunite families separated under the Trump administration. But fully addressing family separations won’t be a straightforward process — and questions remain about how far the new administration will go to address the long-term effects of these separations on the children and parents involved.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Thousands of Separated Children\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In June 2018, lawyers with the American Civil Liberties Union and the federal government appeared before U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw in San Diego as part of a months-long battle to end family separations at the U.S.-Mexico border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sabraw issued an \u003ca href=\"https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.casd.564097/gov.uscourts.casd.564097.83.0_4.pdf\">injunction\u003c/a>, ordering an end to separations and requiring the federal government to swiftly reunify children with their parents (setting a deadline of 14 days for children under the age of 5 and 30 days for older children).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The government eventually identified 2,814 separated children. These families are known as the \"original class\" in the class-action lawsuit \u003ca href=\"https://casetext.com/case/ms-l-v-us-immigration-customs-enforcement\">Ms. L. v. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement\u003c/a>. In some cases it took many months, but almost all of those families were reunited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

As a result, Sabraw included this “expanded class” of parents in the lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Like the current class members, they too were separated from their children,” Sabraw wrote in the decision. “They were not reunited with their children despite the absence of any finding they were unfit parents or presented a danger to their children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These families make up the majority of those still separated today.

They try to find parents online or through records in their country of origin, and when all else fails, they enlist a network of human rights lawyers and nonprofit organizations in Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador and Mexico, who conduct door-to-door searches. This effort has been further \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11831289/how-covid-19-has-impacted-the-search-for-separated-families\">complicated and hampered by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the challenges, Biden says his task force is committed to prioritizing the reunification of any children still separated from their families.

The study found that parents often experienced behaviors and symptoms “consistent with trauma,” and that most people in the study met the conditions for “at least one mental health condition,” such as post-traumatic stress disorder or major depression.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another paper, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11843880/us-treatment-of-migrant-children-falls-under-un-definition-of-torture-doctors-say\">recently published\u003c/a> in the medical journal Pediatrics, calls the federal government's handling of migrant children at the border \"consistent with torture.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would describe cages and sleeping on the floor and being forcefully separated from their parents as severe pain or suffering, no different than I would if someone was beaten with a truncheon,” said the paper’s co-author, Coleen Kivlahan, a family medicine doctor at UCSF and co-chair of the UCSF Health and Human Rights Initiative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, White House officials \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/white-house-killed-deal-pay-mental-health-care-migrant-families-n1248158\">blocked the Department of Justice\u003c/a> from making a deal that would have provided separated families with mental health care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, Gelernt recommends the Biden administration put an end to continued separations at the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Child Welfare Issue\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Sabraw’s injunction stopping family separations included a provision that allows Homeland Security officials to separate parents from their children if the parents are considered “unfit” or “a danger to the child.” In 2019, the ACLU \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11775527/more-than-1000-families-have-been-separated-at-the-border-despite-court-order\">asked Sabraw to reconsider that provision,\u003c/a> but the judge ultimately sided with the government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a result, more than 1,100 children have been taken away from their parents by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials under this provision, sometimes because the parent had a minor criminal conviction, or even just contact with law enforcement. Gelernt said he’s hoping these cases can be added to the ongoing class-action lawsuit against the Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But his right to be here, and his permit to work, depend on a humanitarian protection — known as temporary protected status (TPS) — that President Trump has been fighting to end for nationals from El Salvador and five other countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Jesus Perlera\"]'I feel more relaxed and calm. Now I hope this new Biden administration fulfills what it has promised us.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout Trump's presidency, Perlera has spent many sleepless nights at his home in Concord, worrying that if his TPS ends, he could lose his business and be separated from his two U.S.-born children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So when Joe Biden won the presidential election earlier this month, signaling a sea change in immigration policy, Perlera was deeply relieved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I felt an enormous amount of peace,” Perlera said in Spanish. “I feel more relaxed and calm. Now I hope this new Biden administration fulfills what it has promised us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perlera is one of nearly a quarter of a million immigrants in California — including an estimated 85,000 essential workers — whose temporary permits to live and work in the U.S. could be protected under Biden. The president-elect is expected to use his executive power to reverse many of Trump’s attempts to crackdown on immigration, including his efforts to strip TPS from most recipients and to end Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, a program that benefits hundreds of thousands of young undocumented people known as Dreamers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Biden has also promised to pursue a broader immigration reform bill that grants a pathway to citizenship to all 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. — including DACA and TPS holders — succeeding in that effort will be a much heavier lift.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For one thing, to pass legislation, Biden will need a majority of votes in the Senate, which he is not guaranteed to have.
