He noted that a presidential order can be overturned if Congress chooses to pass legislation invalidating it. With Republicans controlling both the House of Representatives and the Senate, Congress has largely stayed silent, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State leaders and civil rights groups from across the country have challenged Trump’s orders.

Its next hearing is scheduled for Feb. 21.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The policy announced by the National Institutes of Health would set a 15% cap on overhead reimbursements going to research institutions. The money, also referred to as indirect cost reimbursements, is used by grantees to cover non-research-related costs such as waste management and electricity. Previously, reimbursement rates were determined through negotiations between the NIH and individual research institutions, and it is still unclear whether the agency has the legal authority to do away with those regulatory procedures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Research institutions in California rely on federal funding to offset operating costs, and the NIH provides a significant portion of those federal grants, according to a press release issued by Bonta’s office. The University of California, for example, received over $2 billion in contract and grant funding in the last academic year. If the NIH’s new policy goes into effect, the university could lose hundreds of millions of dollars in annual funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12025963 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/250206-TrumpTariffs-11-BL-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These time-honored University partnerships have led to some of the most powerful and impactful research discoveries in human history,” the UC Office of the President said in a statement on Monday. “Life-saving treatments for cancer, diabetes, heart attacks, and strokes, including in children, and new technologies and industries that translate into hundreds of thousands of well-paying jobs are all at risk.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford University administration also expressed concerns about what the NIH’s indirect funding cap could mean for its research initiatives. In a statement released Saturday, Stanford leadership said the cuts would amount to $160 million, which would have otherwise gone toward research infrastructure, including lab equipment and staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Benjamin Good, an assistant professor of applied physics at Stanford who studies the evolution of the human microbiome, said the NIH provides his lab with the majority of its funding — the same is true for other small labs and research projects. Without sizable NIH grants, a lot of these labs are in jeopardy, and that could mean losing out on new research and medical advancements, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By cutting out investment in these basic discoveries now, we could really be hampering our nation’s competitiveness in the kinds of technologies we could have access to down the road,” Good said. “Science is a public good. … It’s really important that our country keeps contributing to it in the future. It’s one of the main ways we’ve been as successful as we have been.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials at California State University, which received nearly $160 million in NIH funds in the last audited year, said in a statement on Monday that cuts to funding jeopardize not only critical groundbreaking research but also opportunities for student innovation. The reduction in administrative overhead cost reimbursements will short the university of millions of dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the NIH policy announcement, the federal agency spent more than $35 billion on research grants in 2023, and nearly $9 billion of the allocated funds were used by institutions to cover administrative overhead, which can be difficult for the NIH to steward. Under the new policy, the NIH would change its rates to align with private grant institutions, many of which set indirect cost reimbursement rates at 15% or below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, NIH is the largest funder of biomedical research, and its reach and impact cannot be compared to that of private donors, said Dr. Elena Fuentes-Afflick, a chief officer at the Association of American Medical Colleges. Grant foundations fund a small percentage of research projects, and those research initiatives tend to be more narrow than the ones funded by the NIH.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The impact of NIH funding on Americans cannot be overstated,” Fuentes-Afflick said. “If you have had diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular diseases … chances are that your treatment, your evaluation and your diagnostic testing has been impacted by research funded by the NIH.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She added that cuts in research funding would affect the economy as well. The NIH funds over 400,000 jobs, according to a report by \u003ca href=\"https://www.unitedformedicalresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/UMR-NIHs-Role-in-Sustaining-the-US-Economy-2024-Update.pdf\">United for Medical Research\u003c/a>, and the new policy could jeopardize thousands of opportunities for employment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/shossaini\">\u003cem>Sara Hossaini\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

In a statement released Saturday, Stanford leadership said the cuts would amount to $160 million, which would have otherwise gone toward research infrastructure, including lab equipment and staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Benjamin Good, an assistant professor of applied physics at Stanford who studies the evolution of the human microbiome, said the NIH provides his lab with the majority of its funding — the same is true for other small labs and research projects. Without sizable NIH grants, a lot of these labs are in jeopardy, and that could mean losing out on new research and medical advancements, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By cutting out investment in these basic discoveries now, we could really be hampering our nation’s competitiveness in the kinds of technologies we could have access to down the road,” Good said. “Science is a public good. … It’s really important that our country keeps contributing to it in the future. It’s one of the main ways we’ve been as successful as we have been.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials at California State University, which received nearly $160 million in NIH funds in the last audited year, said in a statement on Monday that cuts to funding jeopardize not only critical groundbreaking research but also opportunities for student innovation. The reduction in administrative overhead cost reimbursements will short the university of millions of dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the NIH policy announcement, the federal agency spent more than $35 billion on research grants in 2023, and nearly $9 billion of the allocated funds were used by institutions to cover administrative overhead, which can be difficult for the NIH to steward. Under the new policy, the NIH would change its rates to align with private grant institutions, many of which set indirect cost reimbursement rates at 15% or below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, NIH is the largest funder of biomedical research, and its reach and impact cannot be compared to that of private donors, said Dr. Elena Fuentes-Afflick, a chief officer at the Association of American Medical Colleges. Grant foundations fund a small percentage of research projects, and those research initiatives tend to be more narrow than the ones funded by the NIH.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The impact of NIH funding on Americans cannot be overstated,” Fuentes-Afflick said. “If you have had diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular diseases … chances are that your treatment, your evaluation and your diagnostic testing has been impacted by research funded by the NIH.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She added that cuts in research funding would affect the economy as well. The NIH funds over 400,000 jobs, according to a report by \u003ca href=\"https://www.unitedformedicalresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/UMR-NIHs-Role-in-Sustaining-the-US-Economy-2024-Update.pdf\">United for Medical Research\u003c/a>, and the new policy could jeopardize thousands of opportunities for employment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/shossaini\">\u003cem>Sara Hossaini\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Among the administration’s goals is for fearful immigrants to “voluntarily depart.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The big issue is this basically full-court press (from the administration) on immigration enforcement and the fear it’s generated,” said UC Davis immigration law professor Kevin Johnson. “(The fear) probably is the biggest impact of all.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The uncertainty over immigrants’ futures has led communities to question whether workers should continue to show up to businesses, children to school and patients to doctors’ offices — and whether there will be economic disruptions and school funding consequences as a result.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many immigrants \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/us/immigrant-communities-hiding-ice.html\">are staying home\u003c/a>. Others have little choice but to continue their routines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Kern County, an immigrant citrus picker who spoke on the condition that her name not be used because she fears deportation said, like many of her coworkers, she stayed home for a day in the wake of \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/2025/01/kern-county-immigration-sweep/\">a Border Patrol operation last month\u003c/a> — conducted before Trump took office — that seemed to target farmworkers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she has bills to pay, so she’s continued going to work and sending her child to daycare. Rumors of immigration authority sightings have also continued to spread, including one that prompted the contractor she works for to keep her crew in the orange grove at the end of a recent workday. The contractor didn’t release them to go home until checking that the roads were clear, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everybody goes out with fear,” she said. “But one has needs. And my needs are bigger than the fear.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s actions have the potential to drastically remake the immigration landscape. Here’s what’s changed so far and how California is responding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Targeting birthright citizenship\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of Trump’s first-day executive orders sought to end the century-plus-old practice of granting citizenship to all children born on U.S. soil, even if their parents are undocumented. Courts have affirmed the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of birthright citizenship since 1898, in the case of a San Francisco man whose parents were from China.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two federal judges, responding to separate lawsuits, quickly halted the order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A third lawsuit, brought by 18 states, including California and the city of San Francisco, was heard in a Massachusetts federal court last Friday. Attorney General Rob Bonta’s office says the executive order would strip citizenship rights from about 24,500 children who are born in California each year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Expanding ICE’s reach\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration has directed the Immigration and Customs Enforcement to \u003ca href=\"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-01720.pdf\">expand\u003c/a> use of a process called “expedited removal”: deportations that are allowed to bypass immigration courts, where a judge would normally decide the merit of allowing someone to stay in the country. In the past, immigrants without legal status and who do not make an asylum claim can be placed in this process if they’re arrested within 14 days of entering the country and within 100 miles of the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That already covered most of California. The new order expands the process to the entire country and to immigrants arrested within two years of entering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That could have a huge effect” on the number of people authorities can arrest and put in the fast-tracked deportation process far from the border, said UCLA law professor Ahilan Arulanantham.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigration courts have a longstanding backlog that, in \u003ca href=\"https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/IN/IN12492\">late 2024, rose to 3.5 million cases\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other Trump actions could also dramatically increase those cases:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>He revoked a policy prohibiting agents from making arrests in “sensitive locations” such as churches, schools and hospitals;\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>And he signed the Laken Riley Act, a GOP bill that had some Democratic support, directing ICE to detain and deport immigrants who are charged — not just convicted — with certain crimes.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Experts say much of how this is carried out still depends on how much Congress is willing to allow ICE to spend. The agency, which operates on about $9 billion a year, estimates it needs $27 billion to carry out the Laken Riley Act, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2025/01/16/nx-s1-5262921/laken-riley-act-deportation-ice\">NPR has reported\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reach of ICE’s recent activity is also unclear. The agency in the last week of January posted daily arrest numbers on the social media platform X, showing nationwide an average of about 800 arrests a day. That’s far higher than daily arrests during the Biden administration, which \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/tracking-administrative-arrests-ice/\">averaged about 300 in 2024\u003c/a>, according to ICE.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s not clear how many people have been held in detention, released with immigration court cases pending, or deported: ICE spokesperson Richard Beam said those figures aren’t available, nor was a state-by-state breakdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency also would not provide figures of how many of those arrested have the criminal convictions the administration says it’s targeting. An NBC News report in late January \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/ice-trump-deportations-numbers-rcna188937\">found for one of the days\u003c/a>, nearly half of those arrested were nonviolent offenders or had no criminal record.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Cancelling legal immigration paths\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In addition to targeting immigrants without legal status, Trump is revoking pathways for immigrants to arrive legally, often on humanitarian grounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump suspended refugee admissions in one Day-One order. In other actions, he’s gone after the temporary legal statuses of immigrants whom the Biden administration allowed to enter. Trump’s administration has called those statuses another way to allow illegal immigration under the guise of government support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, his Homeland Security department canceled the temporary status of about 300,000 Venezuelans that had allowed them protections from deportation and work permits. That status, intended to protect people from tumultuous home countries, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2025/02/04/nx-s1-5285470/venezuelans-florida-tps-immigration-trump\">expires in April\u003c/a>, and another 250,000 protected Venezuelans’ status expires in September.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration also is preparing, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/23/us/politics/trump-immigrants-deportation.html\">according to the New York Times\u003c/a>, to strip the temporary legal status of immigrants from four countries (Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela and Haiti) that the Biden administration had allowed to enter — and gain work permits — if they found American sponsors, as a way to curb illegal border crossings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly, on Day One, Trump ended a Biden-era program allowing migrants at the border to schedule appointments to be temporarily allowed into the U.S. with work permits while they wait for immigration cases to be decided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because many of those immigrants are newer arrivals, Kathleen Bush-Joseph, policy analyst at the Migration Policy Institute, said, they’re particularly likely to be put in the fast-tracked deportation process.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Trying to secure local cooperation\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The administration is again trying to overturn local and state sanctuary laws, meaning we’re likely to see a return to the California-versus-federal showdown from the first Trump administration on how much the state can be required to help immigration agents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those fights, Arulanantham said, “really are fundamental to balance of power between the federal government and states with respect to how immigration enforcement plays out on the ground.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[aside label=’Related Coverage' tag='immigration']\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the arresting immigration agents to the detention bed space to the judges considering whether to order deportations, the Trump administration doesn’t have nearly the capacity to carry out the level of crackdown he vows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, his orders seek to sign on more local police as partners in the effort. The administration is also suing Chicago and Cook County over their non-cooperation policies, accusing the cities of “thwarting” enforcement, and has threatened to prosecute local officials who fail to cooperate with immigration agents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On her first day as attorney general, Pam Bondi ordered the Justice Department to once again pause grants for sanctuary cities and states. That could include California, which in 2017 passed a law barring police and sheriffs from arresting or detaining immigrants on behalf of federal agents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the previous iteration of this standoff, California won in court when the federal government tried to withhold funding. On Friday, San Francisco and Santa Clara counties renewed the fight, suing Trump over his latest threats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Attorney General Rob Bonta on Friday said he hadn’t seen any interruptions to grants yet, but “if that happens, we will sue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California conservative sheriffs are now in an odd position between a blue state and a red federal administration. Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, in a video Thursday, sought to quell fears and “misinformation” among constituents that his agency was involved in immigration enforcement. Yet, in the same video, he said he hoped to assist ICE “within the confines of the sanctuary state laws” with arresting undocumented immigrants who are being held in his jails.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>California’s response\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The Legislature this week passed $50 million in a special session Gov. Gavin Newsom called to help “Trump-proof” the state — $25 million for the state Department of Justice to sue the federal administration on a variety of matters, including immigration and $25 million toward legal aid to represent immigrants in deportation proceedings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic lawmakers have introduced a series of bills seeking to discourage the presence of immigration authorities near or at schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom has scaled back his own criticisms of the president in recent weeks as he seeks to secure federal wildfire aid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonta has continued to push back with a series of press statements encouraging immigrants to know their rights and advising school employees they don’t have to assist immigration agents in apprehending immigrant students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California notched some big wins in court opposing many policies during the last Trump administration, including halting the Muslim ban and Trump’s efforts to undo temporary legal status for immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Bush-Joseph noted the Supreme Court in 2023 limited the states’ powers to challenge presidential immigration policies when Texas and other red states tried to sue Biden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The inverse can be true under the Trump administration if blue states try to bring lawsuits,” Bush-Joseph said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Others have little choice but to continue their routines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Kern County, an immigrant citrus picker who spoke on the condition that her name not be used because she fears deportation said, like many of her coworkers, she stayed home for a day in the wake of \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/2025/01/kern-county-immigration-sweep/\">a Border Patrol operation last month\u003c/a> — conducted before Trump took office — that seemed to target farmworkers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she has bills to pay, so she’s continued going to work and sending her child to daycare. Rumors of immigration authority sightings have also continued to spread, including one that prompted the contractor she works for to keep her crew in the orange grove at the end of a recent workday. The contractor didn’t release them to go home until checking that the roads were clear, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everybody goes out with fear,” she said. “But one has needs. And my needs are bigger than the fear.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s actions have the potential to drastically remake the immigration landscape. Here’s what’s changed so far and how California is responding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Targeting birthright citizenship\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of Trump’s first-day executive orders sought to end the century-plus-old practice of granting citizenship to all children born on U.S. soil, even if their parents are undocumented. Courts have affirmed the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of birthright citizenship since 1898, in the case of a San Francisco man whose parents were from China.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two federal judges, responding to separate lawsuits, quickly halted the order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A third lawsuit, brought by 18 states, including California and the city of San Francisco, was heard in a Massachusetts federal court last Friday. Attorney General Rob Bonta’s office says the executive order would strip citizenship rights from about 24,500 children who are born in California each year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Expanding ICE’s reach\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration has directed the Immigration and Customs Enforcement to \u003ca href=\"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-01720.pdf\">expand\u003c/a> use of a process called “expedited removal”: deportations that are allowed to bypass immigration courts, where a judge would normally decide the merit of allowing someone to stay in the country. In the past, immigrants without legal status and who do not make an asylum claim can be placed in this process if they’re arrested within 14 days of entering the country and within 100 miles of the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That already covered most of California. The new order expands the process to the entire country and to immigrants arrested within two years of entering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That could have a huge effect” on the number of people authorities can arrest and put in the fast-tracked deportation process far from the border, said UCLA law professor Ahilan Arulanantham.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigration courts have a longstanding backlog that, in \u003ca href=\"https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/IN/IN12492\">late 2024, rose to 3.5 million cases\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other Trump actions could also dramatically increase those cases:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>He revoked a policy prohibiting agents from making arrests in “sensitive locations” such as churches, schools and hospitals;\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>And he signed the Laken Riley Act, a GOP bill that had some Democratic support, directing ICE to detain and deport immigrants who are charged — not just convicted — with certain crimes.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Experts say much of how this is carried out still depends on how much Congress is willing to allow ICE to spend. The agency, which operates on about $9 billion a year, estimates it needs $27 billion to carry out the Laken Riley Act, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2025/01/16/nx-s1-5262921/laken-riley-act-deportation-ice\">NPR has reported\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reach of ICE’s recent activity is also unclear. The agency in the last week of January posted daily arrest numbers on the social media platform X, showing nationwide an average of about 800 arrests a day. That’s far higher than daily arrests during the Biden administration, which \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/tracking-administrative-arrests-ice/\">averaged about 300 in 2024\u003c/a>, according to ICE.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s not clear how many people have been held in detention, released with immigration court cases pending, or deported: ICE spokesperson Richard Beam said those figures aren’t available, nor was a state-by-state breakdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency also would not provide figures of how many of those arrested have the criminal convictions the administration says it’s targeting. An NBC News report in late January \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/ice-trump-deportations-numbers-rcna188937\">found for one of the days\u003c/a>, nearly half of those arrested were nonviolent offenders or had no criminal record.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Cancelling legal immigration paths\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In addition to targeting immigrants without legal status, Trump is revoking pathways for immigrants to arrive legally, often on humanitarian grounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump suspended refugee admissions in one Day-One order. In other actions, he’s gone after the temporary legal statuses of immigrants whom the Biden administration allowed to enter. Trump’s administration has called those statuses another way to allow illegal immigration under the guise of government support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, his Homeland Security department canceled the temporary status of about 300,000 Venezuelans that had allowed them protections from deportation and work permits. That status, intended to protect people from tumultuous home countries, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2025/02/04/nx-s1-5285470/venezuelans-florida-tps-immigration-trump\">expires in April\u003c/a>, and another 250,000 protected Venezuelans’ status expires in September.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration also is preparing, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/23/us/politics/trump-immigrants-deportation.html\">according to the New York Times\u003c/a>, to strip the temporary legal status of immigrants from four countries (Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela and Haiti) that the Biden administration had allowed to enter — and gain work permits — if they found American sponsors, as a way to curb illegal border crossings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly, on Day One, Trump ended a Biden-era program allowing migrants at the border to schedule appointments to be temporarily allowed into the U.S. with work permits while they wait for immigration cases to be decided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because many of those immigrants are newer arrivals, Kathleen Bush-Joseph, policy analyst at the Migration Policy Institute, said, they’re particularly likely to be put in the fast-tracked deportation process.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Trying to secure local cooperation\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The administration is again trying to overturn local and state sanctuary laws, meaning we’re likely to see a return to the California-versus-federal showdown from the first Trump administration on how much the state can be required to help immigration agents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those fights, Arulanantham said, “really are fundamental to balance of power between the federal government and states with respect to how immigration enforcement plays out on the ground.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The administration is also suing Chicago and Cook County over their non-cooperation policies, accusing the cities of “thwarting” enforcement, and has threatened to prosecute local officials who fail to cooperate with immigration agents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On her first day as attorney general, Pam Bondi ordered the Justice Department to once again pause grants for sanctuary cities and states. That could include California, which in 2017 passed a law barring police and sheriffs from arresting or detaining immigrants on behalf of federal agents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the previous iteration of this standoff, California won in court when the federal government tried to withhold funding. On Friday, San Francisco and Santa Clara counties renewed the fight, suing Trump over his latest threats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Attorney General Rob Bonta on Friday said he hadn’t seen any interruptions to grants yet, but “if that happens, we will sue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California conservative sheriffs are now in an odd position between a blue state and a red federal administration. Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, in a video Thursday, sought to quell fears and “misinformation” among constituents that his agency was involved in immigration enforcement. Yet, in the same video, he said he hoped to assist ICE “within the confines of the sanctuary state laws” with arresting undocumented immigrants who are being held in his jails.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>California’s response\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The Legislature this week passed $50 million in a special session Gov. Gavin Newsom called to help “Trump-proof” the state — $25 million for the state Department of Justice to sue the federal administration on a variety of matters, including immigration and $25 million toward legal aid to represent immigrants in deportation proceedings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic lawmakers have introduced a series of bills seeking to discourage the presence of immigration authorities near or at schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom has scaled back his own criticisms of the president in recent weeks as he seeks to secure federal wildfire aid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonta has continued to push back with a series of press statements encouraging immigrants to know their rights and advising school employees they don’t have to assist immigration agents in apprehending immigrant students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California notched some big wins in court opposing many policies during the last Trump administration, including halting the Muslim ban and Trump’s efforts to undo temporary legal status for immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Bush-Joseph noted the Supreme Court in 2023 limited the states’ powers to challenge presidential immigration policies when Texas and other red states tried to sue Biden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It was the case brought by nonprofits that \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-pause-federal-grants-aid-f9948b9996c0ca971f0065fac85737ce\">resulted in the temporary halt to the funding freeze\u003c/a> just minutes before it was set to take effect at 2 p.m. Pacific. The judge ruled that it would be paused until Monday afternoon, when another hearing is scheduled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview, California Attorney General Rob Bonta slammed the directive, saying it “puts at risk a lot of very important, essential, critical social safety net services,” including health care, food assistance, housing programs and emergency funding for recovery from the Los Angeles fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The wide-ranging directive, issued late Monday by the acting director of the Office of Management and Budget, caused immediate confusion throughout the nation about which programs would and would not be affected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite insistence from the White House that the move would not restrict funds directly provided to individuals, Democratic officials said Tuesday that they were \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/RonWyden/status/1884303421894975874\">receiving reports\u003c/a> that state portals for federally funded programs, including Medicaid, were not working.

In announcing the suit, they said Trump’s move threatens funding covering disaster relief, law enforcement grants, infrastructure projects, nutrition assistance, child care and more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We will not stand by while the president attempts to disrupt vital programs that feed our kids, provide medical care to our families and support housing in our communities. We won’t stand by while the president breaks the law and oversteps his authority,” Bonta said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is reckless. It is dangerous, unprecedented in scope and devastating in its attendant effect. It’s thrown state programs into chaos and created confusion among our residents,” he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration insisted that the order is simply aimed at ensuring that federal spending aligns with the new president’s priorities and is not going to what White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt called “illegal DEI programs … transgenderism and wokeness across our federal bureaucracy and agencies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12024194 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/SacramentoDelta-17_qed-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not a blanket pause on federal assistance and grant programs from the Trump administration. Individual assistance that includes — I’m not naming everything that’s included, but just to give you a few examples: Social Security benefits, Medicare benefits, food stamps, welfare benefits, assistance that is going directly to individuals will not be impacted by this pause,” Leavitt said at a briefing Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the Trump administration blamed the media for confusion over what funding the directive will affect, Bonta said he believes the ambiguity in the memo was intentional — both to test the bounds of the law and to confuse and scare federal officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s very broad, and it’s very expansive. It’s very ambiguous and imprecise,” he said. “They could have enumerated with great precision everything that it included and everything that it didn’t. Instead, they wanted to play politics, and they used a bunch of buzzwords that mean different things to different people. Like what’s wokeism?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonta said that if the directive is allowed to stand, it could result in states facing immediate cash shortfalls — something that could have particularly “devastating” impacts in California, where the state is working to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12024151/trump-and-newsom-embrace-in-fire-ravaged-la-but-the-president-wants-to-tie-federal-aid-to-voter-id\">respond to the recent Los Angeles wildfires\u003c/a>. Bonta said he believes the state’s FEMA funding would be at risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other Democratic lawmakers also reacted in anger. California Sen. Alex Padilla called on Republican senators to halt the confirmation process of the man tapped to lead the Office of Management and Budget, Russell Vought, until Trump “reverses this reckless order.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Donald Trump is illegally blocking hundreds of billions of dollars for essential federal programs … all in his effort to pay for his tax cuts for large corporations and billionaires, like the ones he surrounded himself with during his inauguration,” Padilla said. “This overreach is unconstitutional and hurts the thousands of Californians who have been devastated by the recent fires.

"content": "\u003cp>Federal immigration authorities are looking for a potential new detention center in Northern California, an effort that alarms advocates and some Democratic state lawmakers as President-elect Donald Trump gears up to unleash his mass deportation plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In August, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) issued a request for information to identify additional detention bed space in the state as other federal agencies intensified border enforcement. The effort began in the wake of the Biden administration’s sweeping asylum ban, implemented in June, for migrants caught crossing the U.S.-Mexico border outside designated entry points. Under the ban, border agents can deport such migrants within hours or days without considering their asylum claims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates say an expansion of detention space would give Trump a runway to carry out more mass deportations in California. Immigrants in counties with more detention space are more likely to be arrested and detained, according to research by advocacy groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike in Texas, where state officials are offering up land to the Trump administration to facilitate mass deportations, California tried to ban new federal immigrant detention centers from opening during the first Trump administration. The court blocked that, ruling that the state was unconstitutionally overstepping on federal immigration enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Attorney General Rob Bonta told CalMatters that the state may be powerless to stop the possibility of a new facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>ICE’s expansion plans\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Federal documents show ICE issued the request for information on Aug. 14. Such requests can pave the way for federal contracts, in this case to obtain “available detention facilities for single adult populations (male and female)” in Arizona, New Mexico, Washington, Oregon, and California. Its request says the facilities should each have from 850 to 950 detention beds and “may be publicly or privately owned and publicly or privately operated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the facilities should be within a two-hour drive of the San Francisco field office, the documents state. The request also seeks facilities near field offices in Phoenix, El Paso, and Seattle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“ICE has identified a need for immigration detention services within the Western U.S. area of responsibility,” ICE spokesman Richard Beam wrote in an email to CalMatters. “The proposed services are part of ICE’s effort to continually review its detention requirements and explore options that will afford ICE the operational flexibility needed to house the full range of detainees in the agency’s custody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='immigration']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, ICE detains roughly 38,000 people every day in about 120 immigration jails across the country. In California, that number is just under 3,000 detainees each day, held in six facilities, according to the most recently available immigration data maintained by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s the third-largest population of detained immigrants in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While ICE, the federal agency responsible for immigration enforcement, owns and operates a very small number of facilities nationwide, it mostly contracts with private prison operators such as CoreCivic, GEO Group, and Management and Training Corp. Their detention facilities house 80% of ICE’s detainees. Stock for CoreCivic and GEO Group soared upon Trump’s win last month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, private, for-profit prison companies run all six ICE detention facilities – the Golden State Annex and Mesa Verde detention facilities in Kern County; the Adelanto Detention Facility and Desert View Annex, both in San Bernardino County; the Otay Mesa Detention Center in San Diego County; and the Imperial Regional Detention Facility in Imperial County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Across all six, the federal government has the capacity to detain up to 7,188 people statewide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12015881\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/GettyImages-2167160569-scaled.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12015881 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/GettyImages-2167160569-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1696\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/GettyImages-2167160569-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/GettyImages-2167160569-800x530.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/GettyImages-2167160569-1020x676.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/GettyImages-2167160569-160x106.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/GettyImages-2167160569-1536x1017.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/GettyImages-2167160569-2048x1357.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/GettyImages-2167160569-1920x1272.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Former US President Donald Trump speaks about immigration and border security near Coronado National Memorial in Montezuma Pass, Arizona, Aug. 22, 2024. \u003ccite>(Olivier Touron/AFP via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>State Sen. María Elena Durazo, a Democrat from Los Angeles, said she was concerned about the potential economic impacts of ICE having an increased capacity for detention and, therefore, deportations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The expansion of detention in California concerns everyone in our state. Expanding detention correlates with increased ICE raids and family separation, all of which has devastating social and economic impacts for California,” she said. “In addition, these facilities are run by private for-profit companies that consistently place their bottom-line profit above the health and safety of those who work in or are detained in these facilities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates argue that detention expansions lead to human rights abuses and undermine community safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“An expansion of ICE detention operations within the Bay Area and Northern California is going to be part of a reign of terror on our communities the Trump administration is threatening,” said Bree Bernwanger, a senior staff attorney on the Immigrants’ Rights team at the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California. “We already know from existing facilities within California that ICE does not and cannot maintain safe and or healthy standards of confinement for people inside.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ACLU is suing to learn more about the federal agency’s expanded detention plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bernwanger was referring to issues like complaints of sexually abusive pat downs. Also, in 2023, ICE allegedly retaliated against hunger strikers by storming into their cells, violently dragging them, threatening them with forced feedings, and then providing food that was not appropriate for breaking a 21-day fast, prompting a medical condition in at least one inmate, according to a claim filed by the inmate, who was represented by two advocacy groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In August, the civil liberties organization released a 34-page report detailing 485 grievances filed by detainees across six immigration detention facilities in California between 2023 and June 2024. Those grievances included allegations of hazardous facilities, inhumane treatment, medical neglect, and retaliation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE declined to comment on the report.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>California failed to ban for-profit federal detention centers\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In December 2019, California passed a law that would have banned private immigration detention centers. It was part of a wave of resistance by California Democrats to the first Trump administration. It also prohibited the state from using for-profit prisons for any inmates starting in 2028. The for-profit facilities “contribute to over-incarceration” and “do not reflect our values,” Gov.

The effort began in the wake of the Biden administration’s sweeping asylum ban, implemented in June, for migrants caught crossing the U.S.-Mexico border outside designated entry points. Under the ban, border agents can deport such migrants within hours or days without considering their asylum claims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates say an expansion of detention space would give Trump a runway to carry out more mass deportations in California.

María Elena Durazo, a Democrat from Los Angeles, said she was concerned about the potential economic impacts of ICE having an increased capacity for detention and, therefore, deportations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The expansion of detention in California concerns everyone in our state. Expanding detention correlates with increased ICE raids and family separation, all of which has devastating social and economic impacts for California,” she said. “In addition, these facilities are run by private for-profit companies that consistently place their bottom-line profit above the health and safety of those who work in or are detained in these facilities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates argue that detention expansions lead to human rights abuses and undermine community safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“An expansion of ICE detention operations within the Bay Area and Northern California is going to be part of a reign of terror on our communities the Trump administration is threatening,” said Bree Bernwanger, a senior staff attorney on the Immigrants’ Rights team at the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California. “We already know from existing facilities within California that ICE does not and cannot maintain safe and or healthy standards of confinement for people inside.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ACLU is suing to learn more about the federal agency’s expanded detention plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bernwanger was referring to issues like complaints of sexually abusive pat downs. Also, in 2023, ICE allegedly retaliated against hunger strikers by storming into their cells, violently dragging them, threatening them with forced feedings, and then providing food that was not appropriate for breaking a 21-day fast, prompting a medical condition in at least one inmate, according to a claim filed by the inmate, who was represented by two advocacy groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In August, the civil liberties organization released a 34-page report detailing 485 grievances filed by detainees across six immigration detention facilities in California between 2023 and June 2024. Those grievances included allegations of hazardous facilities, inhumane treatment, medical neglect, and retaliation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE declined to comment on the report.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>California failed to ban for-profit federal detention centers\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In December 2019, California passed a law that would have banned private immigration detention centers. It was part of a wave of resistance by California Democrats to the first Trump administration. It also prohibited the state from using for-profit prisons for any inmates starting in 2028. The for-profit facilities “contribute to over-incarceration” and “do not reflect our values,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement when signing the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Days before the law was set to go into effect, ICE signed new contracts for its facilities in California.

He was sentenced to 50 years in state prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Incarcerated for 23 years, he was paroled in 2020 at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bun had come to the United States as a refugee at age 6. He was born during the \u003ca href=\"https://cla.umn.edu/chgs/holocaust-genocide-education/resource-guides/cambodia\">Cambodian Genocide\u003c/a> when millions of people were put into work camps, separated from their families and killed by the communist group Khmer Rouge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although he’s a legal permanent resident of the United States, the 46-year-old is among the thousands of Californians who live in constant fear of deportation because of a past criminal conviction. That threat became even more serious earlier this month when Donald Trump was reelected. The president-elect has vowed to launch the biggest militarized mass deportation in U.S. history, and his team has since doubled down on those threats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I worry about what’s going to happen to my kids,” Bun said. “It’s like you’re not even here. Your mind is in such fear that you can’t even enjoy breathing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigration experts warn of an indiscriminate dragnet that could put almost anyone at risk, but some are in more immediate jeopardy than others. Those include noncitizens who have had contact with the criminal justice system, some 1.3 million people nationwide who have already received final orders of removal, and undocumented people who may live or work close to the other two groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Folks who have had contact with the criminal legal system will be of high priority,” said Nayna Gupta, the policy director at the left-leaning Washington think tank American Immigration Council. “Under current immigration law, that includes people who might have convictions from decades prior. There’s no statute of limitations on when the government can remove someone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Communities closer to the border may be at greater risk early in the next Trump administration because that’s where more Customs and Border Protection agents and Border Patrol officials are located. Trump has said he plans to use those agencies to carry out his mass deportation plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For months, advocates have been planning ways to fight back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He doesn’t own our states,” said \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/bio/naureen-shah\">Naureen Shah\u003c/a>, deputy director of government affairs at the American Civil Liberties Union. “And our states will be the frontline in the defense of our civil liberties and our civil rights.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California, which has the country’s largest immigrant population, already has strong state laws to protect immigrant communities from mass deportations, although not as strong as Oregon and Illinois, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ilrc.org/state-map-immigration-enforcement-2024\">Immigrant Legal Resource Center\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those two states have comprehensive laws restricting transfers of people to ICE, whereas California state prison employees regularly contact the federal immigration enforcement agency about inmates in their custody, including United States citizens, public records show. Immigrant Legal Resource Center, a national nonprofit that provides legal training and does pro-immigrant policy work in California and Texas, estimates 70% to 75% of ICE arrests in the interior of the U.S. are handoffs from another law enforcement agency, such as local jails or state or federal prisons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During Trump’s first term, California led in resisting federal deportation of undocumented immigrants by becoming the first “sanctuary state” that \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2018/03/how-california-went-from-anti-immigration-to-sanctuary-state/\">curbed local agencies’ cooperation\u003c/a> with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. But before that law was signed, it was weakened to allow state prisons to continue their coordination with ICE and to give federal immigration agents access to interview people in prisons and jails. Protections that limited police agencies sharing data with ICE were also weakened \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/california-s-sanctuary-state-bill-protecting-immigrants-closer-approval-n801976\">to allow for information to be provided\u003c/a> if a person has been convicted of one of some 800 crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The day after Trump’s second election, Gov. Gavin Newsom summoned the Legislature, dominated by his fellow Democrats, to a special session starting Dec. 2 — vowing to “protect California values” as the state braces for renewed clashes with the incoming administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘There is no price tag’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Trump’s political ascent was fueled by racist and xenophobic rhetoric about immigrants: At a December 2023 campaign rally in New Hampshire, for instance, he said they were “\u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/trump-says-immigrants-are-poisoning-blood-country-biden-campaign-liken-rcna130141\">poisoning the blood of our country\u003c/a>.” He’s promised to expend massive federal resources on raids and sweeps in immigrant communities, especially in ‘sanctuary cities.’ One goal is to discourage future illegal immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not a question of a price tag. It’s not — really, we have no choice,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/trump-says-no-price-tag-mass-deportation-plan-rcna179178\">he recently told NBC\u003c/a>. “When people have killed and murdered, when drug lords have destroyed countries, and now they’re going to go back to those countries because they’re not staying here.

The highest number of deportations in a single fiscal year in recent history was fiscal year 2012 — during the Obama administration — with 407,821 deportations across the United States. During Trump’s first term, he was only able to carry out several hundred thousand removals a year, about on par with other presidents, at least partly because of California and other states’ new sanctuary laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the American Immigration Council, the long-term cost of deporting one million people annually could average $88 billion annually, which would be higher than the Department of Homeland Security’s $62 billion budget in fiscal year 2025. It would also require massive expansions of federal immigration court systems and detention facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deportations from California have reached record lows in recent years following the changes in state law and policy about ICE pick-ups and new federal regulations about COVID-19 testing before pick-ups at state prisons, public records show.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘Power not panic’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Advocates are emphasizing the need for community preparedness and organization to combat the anticipated crackdown on immigrants in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are a lot of people actively preparing, and I think community members should take heart in that and also participate,” Mensing said. “Ultimately, that is what is going to prevent Trump from getting what he wants, which is to terrorize people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In immigrant communities across the state, advocates are helping those at risk of detention and deportation make emergency plans, including who will pick up their children from school and how to protect their assets in the United States. “Know your rights” workshops are being organized, and neighbors are helping each other get informed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Power not panic” is a mantra Mensing and others often repeat. “Trump is going to attack sanctuary cities and sanctuary states because he is vindictive. Our main tools are to be organized and to be informed,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pedro Rios, director of the American Friends Service Committee’s U.S.-Mexico Border Program, a Quaker organization, said even people with some form of legal status and protection are concerned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The amount of worry and the amount of uncertainty that people have is just tremendous, and what I tell people is to find a supportive community and to not be alone at this time,” Rios said. He said he was asked to talk to a 6-year-old child “because what he had been hearing in his school terrified him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bun said his phone has also been ringing nonstop with urgent calls from fellow Cambodian refugees across the country. Meanwhile, he’s been trying to figure out how to tell his own 3-year-old son that there might be a knock on the door, and he’ll be gone forever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is like planning a life sentence,” he said. “How could you plan for that?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Journalism engineer \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/author/mohamed-al-elew/\">Mohamed Al Elew\u003c/a> contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Those include noncitizens who have had contact with the criminal justice system, some 1.3 million people nationwide who have already received final orders of removal, and undocumented people who may live or work close to the other two groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Folks who have had contact with the criminal legal system will be of high priority,” said Nayna Gupta, the policy director at the left-leaning Washington think tank American Immigration Council. “Under current immigration law, that includes people who might have convictions from decades prior. There’s no statute of limitations on when the government can remove someone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Communities closer to the border may be at greater risk early in the next Trump administration because that’s where more Customs and Border Protection agents and Border Patrol officials are located. Trump has said he plans to use those agencies to carry out his mass deportation plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For months, advocates have been planning ways to fight back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He doesn’t own our states,” said \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/bio/naureen-shah\">Naureen Shah\u003c/a>, deputy director of government affairs at the American Civil Liberties Union. “And our states will be the frontline in the defense of our civil liberties and our civil rights.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California, which has the country’s largest immigrant population, already has strong state laws to protect immigrant communities from mass deportations, although not as strong as Oregon and Illinois, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ilrc.org/state-map-immigration-enforcement-2024\">Immigrant Legal Resource Center\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those two states have comprehensive laws restricting transfers of people to ICE, whereas California state prison employees regularly contact the federal immigration enforcement agency about inmates in their custody, including United States citizens, public records show. Immigrant Legal Resource Center, a national nonprofit that provides legal training and does pro-immigrant policy work in California and Texas, estimates 70% to 75% of ICE arrests in the interior of the U.S. are handoffs from another law enforcement agency, such as local jails or state or federal prisons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During Trump’s first term, California led in resisting federal deportation of undocumented immigrants by becoming the first “sanctuary state” that \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2018/03/how-california-went-from-anti-immigration-to-sanctuary-state/\">curbed local agencies’ cooperation\u003c/a> with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. But before that law was signed, it was weakened to allow state prisons to continue their coordination with ICE and to give federal immigration agents access to interview people in prisons and jails. Protections that limited police agencies sharing data with ICE were also weakened \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/california-s-sanctuary-state-bill-protecting-immigrants-closer-approval-n801976\">to allow for information to be provided\u003c/a> if a person has been convicted of one of some 800 crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The day after Trump’s second election, Gov. Gavin Newsom summoned the Legislature, dominated by his fellow Democrats, to a special session starting Dec. 2 — vowing to “protect California values” as the state braces for renewed clashes with the incoming administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘There is no price tag’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Trump’s political ascent was fueled by racist and xenophobic rhetoric about immigrants: At a December 2023 campaign rally in New Hampshire, for instance, he said they were “\u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/trump-says-immigrants-are-poisoning-blood-country-biden-campaign-liken-rcna130141\">poisoning the blood of our country\u003c/a>.” He’s promised to expend massive federal resources on raids and sweeps in immigrant communities, especially in ‘sanctuary cities.’ One goal is to discourage future illegal immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not a question of a price tag. It’s not — really, we have no choice,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/trump-says-no-price-tag-mass-deportation-plan-rcna179178\">he recently told NBC\u003c/a>. “When people have killed and murdered, when drug lords have destroyed countries, and now they’re going to go back to those countries because they’re not staying here.

The highest number of deportations in a single fiscal year in recent history was fiscal year 2012 — during the Obama administration — with 407,821 deportations across the United States. During Trump’s first term, he was only able to carry out several hundred thousand removals a year, about on par with other presidents, at least partly because of California and other states’ new sanctuary laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the American Immigration Council, the long-term cost of deporting one million people annually could average $88 billion annually, which would be higher than the Department of Homeland Security’s $62 billion budget in fiscal year 2025. It would also require massive expansions of federal immigration court systems and detention facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deportations from California have reached record lows in recent years following the changes in state law and policy about ICE pick-ups and new federal regulations about COVID-19 testing before pick-ups at state prisons, public records show.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘Power not panic’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Advocates are emphasizing the need for community preparedness and organization to combat the anticipated crackdown on immigrants in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are a lot of people actively preparing, and I think community members should take heart in that and also participate,” Mensing said. “Ultimately, that is what is going to prevent Trump from getting what he wants, which is to terrorize people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In immigrant communities across the state, advocates are helping those at risk of detention and deportation make emergency plans, including who will pick up their children from school and how to protect their assets in the United States. “Know your rights” workshops are being organized, and neighbors are helping each other get informed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Power not panic” is a mantra Mensing and others often repeat. “Trump is going to attack sanctuary cities and sanctuary states because he is vindictive. Our main tools are to be organized and to be informed,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pedro Rios, director of the American Friends Service Committee’s U.S.-Mexico Border Program, a Quaker organization, said even people with some form of legal status and protection are concerned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The amount of worry and the amount of uncertainty that people have is just tremendous, and what I tell people is to find a supportive community and to not be alone at this time,” Rios said. He said he was asked to talk to a 6-year-old child “because what he had been hearing in his school terrified him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bun said his phone has also been ringing nonstop with urgent calls from fellow Cambodian refugees across the country. Meanwhile, he’s been trying to figure out how to tell his own 3-year-old son that there might be a knock on the door, and he’ll be gone forever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is like planning a life sentence,” he said. “How could you plan for that?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
