The Trump administration has called for ending the Flores settlement as part of its demands for changes to immigration laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gelernt, deputy director of the ACLU’s Immigrants’ Rights Project, said Monday that the woman is from a village in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and speaks little English.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The woman passed the initial screening to determine if she had a “credible fear” of returning to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the lawsuit said. Gelernt declined to name her or discuss her case in detail, saying she could be in danger if she’s ultimately denied asylum and has to return to Congo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, Gelernt said, “she is worried sick about her daughter, whether she’s ever going to see her again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under previous administrations, immigration authorities charged thousands of people with illegally entering or re-entering the U.S., holding them in jail and at times separating them from their children. But Gelernt and other immigrant advocates say the Trump administration is detaining more adults seeking asylum and separating them from their children than in previous years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates have also accused border agents of unlawfully turning away people who are seeking asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration has broadly cracked down on people who cross the U.S.-Mexico border without legal permission. In a January interview with The Associated Press, Tom Homan, acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said there “have been some separations done,” particularly in cases where parents have been accused of paying smugglers to bring their children across the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homan said he believed many families that seek asylum are making weak claims that are ultimately rejected by immigration judges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’d be a fool to say that none of them have a case of credible fear. They’re really escaping danger,” Homan said. “But I can tell you … many of them are taking advantage of a low threshold.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"headTitle": "The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>In the spring of 1975, the North Vietnamese took control of Saigon and the United States began frantically evacuating tens of thousands of South Vietnamese. Overnight, Camp Pendleton in Southern California was transformed into a makeshift refugee camp. The Marines had 36 hours to set up tents, toilets and showers before refugees started arriving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That first wave included two teenage sisters, Evelyn and Jessica Kheo. They settled in nearby San Diego, but hadn’t been back to the base in 42 years. I got a chance to take a tour with them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Driving through the gate of the base, nothing looks very familiar to Jessica and Evelyn. We’re at the northernmost part of Camp Pendleton, miles from the beach. It’s dry and hot. There's scrubby grass and dusty canyons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Evelyn was just 14 when her family arrived here. Jessica, who was 16, remembers being nervous when their plane landed at the military airport.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgkU4KOvIas\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were kind of scared -- worried how people would treat us outside, because we knew about the anti-war movement,” Jessica said. “We were walking into a situation where people have protested before and you didn’t know what was going to happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they got on a bus from the airport, and she remembers civilians in the streets waving at them, smiling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a lot of nervous laughter as these two women -- now in their 50s -- try to remember what it was like to be vulnerable teenagers leaving their comfortable home in Saigon to start over in a new country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[audio src=\"https://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/tcrmag/2017/09/TCRMag20170929bSVietRefSis.mp3\" Image=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/Untitled-1-1020x680.jpg\" Title=\"Remember When Camp Pendleton Was a Refugee Camp? These Vietnamese Sisters Do\" program=\"The California Report\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jessica and Evelyn came from a well-to-do family in Vietnam. They spoke French and wore fashionable dresses and barrettes in their hair. They were sheltered teenagers -- their mother hardly let them out of her sight. So coming to Camp Pendleton felt like an adventure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It looked pretty to me,” Jessica said. “I never camped before so it was kind of like camping. I'm sure my mom was not happy, but for me it was fun.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their mother was nervous about having her young daughters around so many military men in uniform. But Jessica and Evelyn remember the Marines as kind and gentle young men working to help the refugees. A base nurse treated their sister for asthma with great tenderness.

So, in a way for him to connect with the refugees, he would walk around in his pocket with this little fish sauce.

Scott Wahl said Wednesday. Those who refuse are given citations and those who resist further are arrested. Police over the past two weeks have been issuing about 50 citations a week — up from 30 a week before the crackdown, Wahl said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he did not have figures on how many have been arrested.

But if they don't, people will be cited. This is about saving lives.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The region's homeless population, which often lacks adequate access to restrooms or showers, has been hit the hardest since the outbreak started last November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was unclear where the homeless people who were along the downtown street have gone. Many suspected they scattered to other parts of the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bob McElroy of the nonprofit Alpha Project said he's working on opening a camping area in the short term and providing small tents for 200 people near downtown, along with restrooms and showers and washing facilities. His organization and two other service providers for the homeless are also working with the city to erect three massive commercial-grade tents starting in December that would house hundreds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hepatitis A spreads when someone comes in contact with an infected person's feces, sometimes when hands are not properly washed after going to the bathroom or changing diapers, and the virus is then spread through food or objects. It can also be spread through sex or by sharing drug paraphernalia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Health officials say the incubation period ranges from 15 to 50 days, and symptoms include fever, malaise, dark urine, anorexia, nausea and abdominal discomfort, followed by jaundice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Diego County public health nurses have been teaming up with police and visiting areas where the homeless are camped to offer vaccinations against hepatitis A.

Scott Wahl said Wednesday. Those who refuse are given citations and those who resist further are arrested. Police over the past two weeks have been issuing about 50 citations a week — up from 30 a week before the crackdown, Wahl said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he did not have figures on how many have been arrested. Some, he said, have been taken to mental health services if they showed signs of distress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The crackdown was necessary to increase the effectiveness of cleaning efforts that include the power-washing of streets and installation of hand-washing stations, Wahl said. San Diego County is battling an epidemic of hepatitis A, a contagious liver disease that has killed 17 people and infected 461 people, including more than 300 who had to be hospitalized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But if they don't, people will be cited. This is about saving lives.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The region's homeless population, which often lacks adequate access to restrooms or showers, has been hit the hardest since the outbreak started last November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was unclear where the homeless people who were along the downtown street have gone. Many suspected they scattered to other parts of the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bob McElroy of the nonprofit Alpha Project said he's working on opening a camping area in the short term and providing small tents for 200 people near downtown, along with restrooms and showers and washing facilities. His organization and two other service providers for the homeless are also working with the city to erect three massive commercial-grade tents starting in December that would house hundreds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hepatitis A spreads when someone comes in contact with an infected person's feces, sometimes when hands are not properly washed after going to the bathroom or changing diapers, and the virus is then spread through food or objects. It can also be spread through sex or by sharing drug paraphernalia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Health officials say the incubation period ranges from 15 to 50 days, and symptoms include fever, malaise, dark urine, anorexia, nausea and abdominal discomfort, followed by jaundice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Diego County public health nurses have been teaming up with police and visiting areas where the homeless are camped to offer vaccinations against hepatitis A. The city also has been installing restrooms and washing stations in areas frequented by the homeless.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
