The uncertainty is striking fear in many students and their families, Aguilar said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My main goal in this is just to show the community of immigrants here at Berkeley that they do have a voice and there’s people out here that obviously care for them and want them to succeed,” said sophomore Karen Magana, who helped plan the rally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Organizers have a list of demands, but Aguilar said the primary goal of the march is to urge the university administration to publicly stand with its undocumented students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12024572 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/20250123_SonomaStateFile_GC-11-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“First is for the university to show some kind of sign of solidarity with the undocumented students at the school, because we have not received anything in our emails or really anything about them addressing it,” Aguilar said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2016, the UC system released a \u003ca href=\"https://undoc.universityofcalifornia.edu/files/uc-principles-in-support-of-undocumented-members-of-the-uc-community.pdf\">statement of principles in support of undocumented students and community members\u003c/a> ahead of Trump’s first term as president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, UC police will not comply with local, state or federal immigration enforcement efforts and will consider undocumented applicants to the university the same as applicants who are citizens. Each campus also provides free legal support for undocumented students, such as access to an attorney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The university has not updated these principles in the wake of more aggressive immigration policies from the second Trump administration. However, officials \u003ca href=\"https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/frequently-asked-questions-university-employees-about-possible-federal-immigration-enforcement\">updated a FAQ page\u003c/a> on Dec. 18 with information about immigration enforcement on its campuses, using information from its 2016 statement of principles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The UC Office of the President did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some students see the lack of updated statements as the university choosing to stay silent while the Trump administration \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12024246/trump-signals-schools-hospitals-and-churches-could-see-ice-raids\">ramps up immigration enforcement\u003c/a>, Aguilar said. Magana added that being undocumented can be a particularly alienating experience at a prestigious university like UC Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To address these concerns on campus, clubs and student government officials are stepping in to offer support and resources, such as career fairs, town halls and statements of solidarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We planned this very, very last minute … it was just kind of out of necessity,” Aguilar said. “I think that we could really show other schools as well that it’s time that we take action.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>Updated 3:43 p.m. Wednesday\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration on Wednesday rescinded a controversial directive that ordered a freeze on disbursements of nearly all federal funding — a memo that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12024387/california-22-other-states-sue-to-block-trumps-federal-funding-freeze\">resulted in mass confusion and multiple lawsuits\u003c/a> before a judge temporarily suspended it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a\u003ca href=\"https://x.com/PeterAlexander/status/1884661943715176503/photo/1\"> two-sentence memo\u003c/a> to the heads of executive departments and agencies, the acting director of the Office of Management and Budget said that the initial directive, issued Monday, “is rescinded” and that questions about President Donald Trump’s executive orders should go to agency lawyers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A short time later, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt\u003ca href=\"https://x.com/presssec/status/1884672871944901034?s=42\"> issued a statement on social media platform X\u003c/a> saying that the new memo is “NOT a rescission of the federal funding freeze. It is simply a rescission of the OMB memo. Why? To end any confusion created by the court’s injunction. The President’s EOs on federal funding remain in full force and effect and will be rigorously implemented.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leavitt is referring to \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/\">a spate of EOs, or executive orders\u003c/a>, Trump has signed over the past week and a half that seek to block spending on programs and policies he opposes, including those he considers “DEI” or “woke” initiatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12024325 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/250128-SFImmigration-30-BL-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s likely that the latest move by the White House will only sow more confusion since none of the orders specify exactly what qualifies. The initial directive from OMB this week threw state and local officials into panic, sparking concerns that federal funding for health care, education and even emergency aid for the Los Angeles fires would be suddenly halted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn’t theoretical: A number of states, including California, said the portal that they use to receive Medicaid funds from the federal government was temporarily unusable Tuesday. The White House said payments would not be affected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California officials, who joined with nearly two dozen states to \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/system/files/attachments/press-docs/New%20York%20et%20al.%20v.%20Trump%20et%20al.%20Compl.pdf\">sue over the funding freeze\u003c/a>, are continuing to pursue their suits. The state case, filed in Rhode Island, is progressing; at a hearing Wednesday on a temporary restraining order, the judge expressed support for the position of the Democratic attorneys general and asked them to draft a temporary restraining order within 24 hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A separate lawsuit filed by a group of nonprofits that receive funding from the federal government led to Tuesday’s temporary suspension of the directive minutes before it was set to take effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Jan. 29: A previous version of this story said a hearing on a temporary restraining order in the states’ lawsuit was scheduled for Thursday. It was underway Wednesday.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
