"content": "\u003cp>When President Trump's first immigration order temporarily went into effect on Jan. 27, and we began to see its impact at airports and hear stories about how it was touching many people's lives nationwide, we decided to try to capture some of those tales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We created a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/01/25/kqed-wants-your-immigration-stories/\">form\u003c/a>, asking people to share their immigration stories, and people did — 56 of them. They mostly weren't stories about the impact of the travel ban. Rather, they were stories that reflect the rich diversity California is known for. They were stories of people whose families had immigrated a generation prior from the Philippines, South Korea, Pakistan, Mexico, India and more. They were tales of people whose parents settled in the U.S. because of conflict in their home country, such as in Iran and El Salvador. They were stories of undocumented youth, known as Dreamers, who had signed up for former President Obama's DACA (or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) program — and in one case, a young man who didn't, because he didn't want to be a \"sitting duck\" if Obama's successor didn't keep the program. And there were people who came on work visas, such as the H-1B often used in Silicon Valley, and for love, such as a gay British man who married his American boyfriend.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside

I graduated in 2011 and since then I've been working as a software engineer. I started my career at a bigger company. I worked there for three years. Since then, I've been working at a smaller startup in Palo Alto for close to three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Initially, as one could imagine, getting admitted to Stanford, with all the tuition taken care of, was a dream come true. I experienced no issues getting my student visa as well. It was great. Up till then, my immigration story was very smooth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only after I graduated from Stanford did I realize the problems associated with working on a work visa in the United States. The system is definitely not encouraging folks to be independent, free, and to move from companies. It's not very straightforward at all. The laws are very complex. For the first few years, it was OK because I was just starting to work for the first time in my life. Immigration was not my primary concern.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once I wanted to switch jobs, that's when I realized how painful it was going to be to even just move from one company to another, let alone starting my own business — which is almost impossible to do. It's been downhill since then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, I've come to a point where I've spent close to eight years in this country and I'm starting to doubt whether I should still pursue this arduous journey here or should I give up and go back to my home country or another country like Canada or Australia, where they are welcoming to a lot more highly skilled immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue is primarily with the green card process. They give out 140,000 green cards* per year; no more than 7 percent can go to one specific country. For people who are born in India, we are looking at a wait time of more than 50 years. I'll probably be 70 or maybe even dead by the time I'm actually eligible to get my green card. That is the biggest issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second thing is also the mobility on the H-1B visa. For example, let's say I want to switch to another company. The company sponsors me, but then I have to go back and start the process all over again (that's generally what happens and in any case, it doesn't change the fact that I'll have to wait so many years).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last problem is, for example, let's say I have been here 10 or 15 years, and my company is not doing well. If they lay me off, I have to leave the country within 10 days. I'm basically being penalized because I was born in India. That is the root cause of the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'I've come to a point where I've spent close to eight years in this country and I'm starting to doubt whether I should still pursue this arduous journey here or should I give up and go back to my home country or another country ... where they are welcoming to a lot more highly skilled immigrants.'\u003ccite>Gokul Gunasekaran, H-1B visa holder, Sunnyvale\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>As far as the executive orders are concerned, I'm kind of scared right now to go back to visit my parents because I'm worried … whether the consulate will actually give me a stamp to come back to the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, the uncertainties toward travel, whether we will get our visa stamping, whether our work visas will be renewed -- these are all adding quite a bit of anxiety to the high-skilled immigrant community. That's it in a nutshell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every time I go back home or when I talk to my parents, they ask me if I’m close to getting my green card or do I have any permanency and I tell them, “No. It's not happening.” They ask me, “What's the point of all this? Just come back home and stay with us and stay close with family.” That is a decision that's been moving up on my things to do and I'm seriously considering that, unfortunately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The system here is totally broken.

They mostly weren't stories about the impact of the travel ban. Rather, they were stories that reflect the rich diversity California is known for. They were stories of people whose families had immigrated a generation prior from the Philippines, South Korea, Pakistan, Mexico, India and more. They were tales of people whose parents settled in the U.S. because of conflict in their home country, such as in Iran and El Salvador. They were stories of undocumented youth, known as Dreamers, who had signed up for former President Obama's DACA (or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) program — and in one case, a young man who didn't, because he didn't want to be a \"sitting duck\" if Obama's successor didn't keep the program. And there were people who came on work visas, such as the H-1B often used in Silicon Valley, and for love, such as a gay British man who married his American boyfriend.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside

I graduated in 2011 and since then I've been working as a software engineer. I started my career at a bigger company. I worked there for three years. Since then, I've been working at a smaller startup in Palo Alto for close to three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Initially, as one could imagine, getting admitted to Stanford, with all the tuition taken care of, was a dream come true. I experienced no issues getting my student visa as well. It was great. Up till then, my immigration story was very smooth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only after I graduated from Stanford did I realize the problems associated with working on a work visa in the United States. The system is definitely not encouraging folks to be independent, free, and to move from companies. It's not very straightforward at all. The laws are very complex. For the first few years, it was OK because I was just starting to work for the first time in my life. Immigration was not my primary concern.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once I wanted to switch jobs, that's when I realized how painful it was going to be to even just move from one company to another, let alone starting my own business — which is almost impossible to do. It's been downhill since then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, I've come to a point where I've spent close to eight years in this country and I'm starting to doubt whether I should still pursue this arduous journey here or should I give up and go back to my home country or another country like Canada or Australia, where they are welcoming to a lot more highly skilled immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue is primarily with the green card process. They give out 140,000 green cards* per year; no more than 7 percent can go to one specific country. For people who are born in India, we are looking at a wait time of more than 50 years. I'll probably be 70 or maybe even dead by the time I'm actually eligible to get my green card. That is the biggest issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second thing is also the mobility on the H-1B visa. For example, let's say I want to switch to another company. The company sponsors me, but then I have to go back and start the process all over again (that's generally what happens and in any case, it doesn't change the fact that I'll have to wait so many years).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last problem is, for example, let's say I have been here 10 or 15 years, and my company is not doing well. If they lay me off, I have to leave the country within 10 days. I'm basically being penalized because I was born in India. That is the root cause of the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'I've come to a point where I've spent close to eight years in this country and I'm starting to doubt whether I should still pursue this arduous journey here or should I give up and go back to my home country or another country ... where they are welcoming to a lot more highly skilled immigrants.'\u003ccite>Gokul Gunasekaran, H-1B visa holder, Sunnyvale\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>As far as the executive orders are concerned, I'm kind of scared right now to go back to visit my parents because I'm worried … whether the consulate will actually give me a stamp to come back to the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, the uncertainties toward travel, whether we will get our visa stamping, whether our work visas will be renewed -- these are all adding quite a bit of anxiety to the high-skilled immigrant community. That's it in a nutshell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every time I go back home or when I talk to my parents, they ask me if I’m close to getting my green card or do I have any permanency and I tell them, “No. It's not happening.” They ask me, “What's the point of all this? Just come back home and stay with us and stay close with family.” That is a decision that's been moving up on my things to do and I'm seriously considering that, unfortunately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The system here is totally broken.

He knew he wouldn't be able to support them in Mexico where jobs are really low-paying, so he decided to take a risk that millions of people have taken: jump the border in order to have a better life and higher-paying jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obviously, he had to face major obstacles since he entered the country illegally. He had to survive a two-week trip from his hometown to the border fence. He would then have to take another 24 hours to get through the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His goal was San Francisco since he had friends there, and after a long trip he made it. Eventually, he was able to get his green card and his citizenship, and save enough money for his family back home to build a house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My mother was born in El Salvador and immigrated legally by plane at age 25. Her parents were able to apply for a green card before she traveled to the United States and her green card was granted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The main reason for her migration was the fact that there was a civil war going on in El Salvador. She knew no one and basically had to start from scratch. Luckily, after about two years, her sister arrived in San Francisco and they were able to help each other out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Growing up in an immigrant family makes me feel fortunate that I had the opportunities to experience different cultures. It also meant that my family was different in a sense that we ate different meals than most of my friends: While they were eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch, me and my brother were eating tortillas with beans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also made me want to work harder knowing that my parents went through a hard time coming to the United States for them and their kids to have a better future.

"content": "\u003cp>Donald Trump put a national spotlight on so-called sanctuary cities, but in San Francisco the conversation has raged on and off for decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The debate began in the 1980s, as civil wars raged in Central America and churches began providing refuge to fleeing immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Reagan administration refused to recognize these refugees as asylum seekers. So cities stepped up: First Berkeley, then dozens of others, including San Francisco, began \u003ca href=\"http://scholarship.law.berkeley.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1031&context=blrlj\" target=\"_blank\">adopting policies\u003c/a> prohibiting local officials from cooperating with immigration enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Sheriff Vicki Hennessy was working as a deputy in the county jail back then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Up until that time, ICE agents, or at the time immigration agents, were allowed to come into our jails and check at all the booking cards and see who and question anybody they wanted to question,\" she said during a recent talk to the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city’s early sanctuary policies stopped those visits. But in 1989, they didn’t stop immigration officials and San Francisco police from conducting a joint raid on a Latin dance club in San Francisco, Club Elegante. Dozens of people were handcuffed and detained for hours — including many U.S. citizens.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'It wasn't even as much that he loved immigrants, it was I think more a sense of, we need this type of policy because without it, we lose the trust and cooperation of the immigrant community that we are devoted to serve.\" \u003ccite>Sanctuary law author Robert Rubin\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Former state Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, a longtime San Francisco activist and then politician, lived near Club Elegante. He said the raid \"ignited a sleeping giant\" in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was obvious that this was a big snafu that should never have happened,\" he said. \"That was it, boom, that was a benchmark. And then there were demands made on the mayor, 'What are you going to do, what is the solution?'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigrants were scared and city leaders were troubled, agreed civil rights attorney Robert Rubin. He helped write what would become the city’s sanctuary law later that year. The goal was to ensure the immigrant community didn’t fear minor encounters with police. Rubin said even then-Police Chief Frank Jordan was on board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It wasn't even as much that he that he loved immigrants, it was I think more a sense of, we need this type of policy because without it, we lose the trust and cooperation of the immigrant community that we are devoted to serve,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rubin and others working in the city at the time say the federal government pushed back against these policies, even threatening to jail city leaders or strip federal funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as time passed, the city’s law remained. So did outside pressure to change it. Now it is under perhaps its most serious threat: President Trump issued an executive order within days of taking office in January directing his administration to strip federal funding from jurisdictions deemed to be \"sanctuary\" cities and counties.

At the same time, San Francisco Assemblyman Tom Ammiano was pushing statewide legislation to limit all California jails’ cooperation. After two years — and a veto of a measure that went even further by Gov. Jerry Brown — Ammiano's state bill, a milder version of the San Francisco measure, \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/05/trust-act-signed_n_4050168.html\" target=\"_blank\">became law in 2014\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Kate Steinle murder\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, again in 2015, a horrific murder roiled San Francisco and made national headlines. Kate Steinle, 32, was shot and killed while walking along the San Francisco waterfront. Her accused killer, Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, is an undocumented immigrant who’d been deported five times and had just been released from jail in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case sparked national outrage, with even some Democrats pointing the finger at San Francisco's sanctuary city policy. But again, there was \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/08/us/san-francisco-murder-case-exposes-lapses-in-immigration-enforcement.html?_r=2\" target=\"_blank\">blame to go around\u003c/a>: The gun used in the shooting was stolen from a federal park ranger. And questions remain about why federal officials sent him to San Francisco, knowing the city wouldn’t cooperate with immigration detainer requests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lopez-Sanchez had just finished a four-year term in a federal prison for crossing the border illegally when the federal government transferred him to San Francisco jail based on a 20-year-old marijuana charge. Shortly after prosecutors declined to file charges, he was released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While some of San Francisco's more moderate politicians sought to narrow the city's sanctuary ordinance after the Steinle killing, it was another case — in which San Francisco police apparently \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/Car-theft-victim-handed-over-to-immigrations-10864148.php\" target=\"_blank\">called ICE on an undocumented immigrant reporting a stolen car\u003c/a> — that most informed a 2016 tweak to the sanctuary law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That change altered the circumstances under which city officials can cooperate with ICE. It allows the sheriff to notify immigration officials about an inmate who is accused of a violent felony if that person was convicted of a violent or serious felony in the past seven years and if a judge decides there's probable cause for the current charge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sheriff Hennessy said no one has met this criteria since she became sheriff in January 2016. But requests to detain local inmates have increased under Trump: In the last six months of 2016, the Sheriff's Department received 41 ICE requests, Hennessy said; this year, it has already received 45 requests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a high standard,\" Hennessy said, adding that she personally reviews each request.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In all, there have been 10 amendments to San Francisco’s sanctuary law since 1989. Most were made in response to aggressive deportation policies implemented by the Obama administration — and most of them made it even harder for local officials to cooperate with ICE.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while the policies remain unpopular among conservatives outside San Francisco’s borders, a recent poll found that 79 percent of San Franciscans approve of the sanctuary law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A sanctuary state?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, state lawmakers are considering a bill that could make California a sanctuary state in the view of the Trump administration, by prohibiting state and local governments from using any local resources to assist in deportation actions. Senate President Kevin de León, a Los Angeles Democrat, says the bill will keep communities safe. It \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/04/03/california-senate-oks-sanctuary-state-bill-critics-fear-losing-federal-money/\" target=\"_blank\">passed the state Senate on Monday\u003c/a> and now heads to the Assembly for consideration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The last thing we need is for crime to increase in neighborhoods because police officers have left their beats, their duties to help set up a perimeter around a church, a shelter, or an elementary school, and serving as an extension of ICE agents. Local police departments protect and serve, they don’t enforce federal immigration law,\" de León said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sheriffs and others are fighting the bill. But de León and his supporters reject the \"sanctuary\" label as a misnomer. He said it’s important to note what so-called sanctuary laws don’t do. They don’t prevent local jails from sharing fingerprints with ICE: every county in the nation does that. They don’t prevent ICE from conducting raids on their own, or from coming into prisons or jails if they secure a warrant from a judge to take custody of an undocumented prisoner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People needed to understand, that nothing in the city-of-refuge ordinance could do anything to stop the federal government from enforcing its own immigration laws,\" said Robert Rubin, the author of San Francisco’s original law. \"It simply said we are not going to help you, we are not going to be a part of it. We think this is the wrong way to go.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s still unclear what the fiscal consequence for California or San Francisco may be. The city receives about $2 billion a year from the federal government, but many legal observers believe most of that money is legally untouchable by the Trump administration because it has no connection to law enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city isn’t waiting to see what the president does, however: In January, San Francisco sued over Trump’s funding threat, saying it is unconstitutional. De León agreed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>'You just can’t , with a signature, with a pen say I am going to punish San Francisco, Los Angeles or any other city,\" he said. \"The reality is this: It’s illegal, and it’s unconstitutional.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

But in 1989, they didn’t stop immigration officials and San Francisco police from conducting a joint raid on a Latin dance club in San Francisco, Club Elegante. Dozens of people were handcuffed and detained for hours — including many U.S. citizens.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'It wasn't even as much that he loved immigrants, it was I think more a sense of, we need this type of policy because without it, we lose the trust and cooperation of the immigrant community that we are devoted to serve.\" \u003ccite>Sanctuary law author Robert Rubin\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Former state Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, a longtime San Francisco activist and then politician, lived near Club Elegante. He said the raid \"ignited a sleeping giant\" in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was obvious that this was a big snafu that should never have happened,\" he said. \"That was it, boom, that was a benchmark. And then there were demands made on the mayor, 'What are you going to do, what is the solution?'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigrants were scared and city leaders were troubled, agreed civil rights attorney Robert Rubin. He helped write what would become the city’s sanctuary law later that year. The goal was to ensure the immigrant community didn’t fear minor encounters with police. Rubin said even then-Police Chief Frank Jordan was on board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It wasn't even as much that he that he loved immigrants, it was I think more a sense of, we need this type of policy because without it, we lose the trust and cooperation of the immigrant community that we are devoted to serve,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rubin and others working in the city at the time say the federal government pushed back against these policies, even threatening to jail city leaders or strip federal funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as time passed, the city’s law remained. So did outside pressure to change it. Now it is under perhaps its most serious threat: President Trump issued an executive order within days of taking office in January directing his administration to strip federal funding from jurisdictions deemed to be \"sanctuary\" cities and counties. The threat already has sparked lawsuits, including from the city of San Francisco, and is helping drive state legislation that could make California, in the eyes of Trump, a sanctuary state.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">“This shouldn’t happen to any family ...

Jerry Brown — Ammiano's state bill, a milder version of the San Francisco measure, \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/05/trust-act-signed_n_4050168.html\" target=\"_blank\">became law in 2014\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Kate Steinle murder\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, again in 2015, a horrific murder roiled San Francisco and made national headlines. Kate Steinle, 32, was shot and killed while walking along the San Francisco waterfront. Her accused killer, Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, is an undocumented immigrant who’d been deported five times and had just been released from jail in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case sparked national outrage, with even some Democrats pointing the finger at San Francisco's sanctuary city policy. But again, there was \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/08/us/san-francisco-murder-case-exposes-lapses-in-immigration-enforcement.html?_r=2\" target=\"_blank\">blame to go around\u003c/a>: The gun used in the shooting was stolen from a federal park ranger. And questions remain about why federal officials sent him to San Francisco, knowing the city wouldn’t cooperate with immigration detainer requests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lopez-Sanchez had just finished a four-year term in a federal prison for crossing the border illegally when the federal government transferred him to San Francisco jail based on a 20-year-old marijuana charge. Shortly after prosecutors declined to file charges, he was released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While some of San Francisco's more moderate politicians sought to narrow the city's sanctuary ordinance after the Steinle killing, it was another case — in which San Francisco police apparently \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/Car-theft-victim-handed-over-to-immigrations-10864148.php\" target=\"_blank\">called ICE on an undocumented immigrant reporting a stolen car\u003c/a> — that most informed a 2016 tweak to the sanctuary law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That change altered the circumstances under which city officials can cooperate with ICE. It allows the sheriff to notify immigration officials about an inmate who is accused of a violent felony if that person was convicted of a violent or serious felony in the past seven years and if a judge decides there's probable cause for the current charge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sheriff Hennessy said no one has met this criteria since she became sheriff in January 2016. But requests to detain local inmates have increased under Trump: In the last six months of 2016, the Sheriff's Department received 41 ICE requests, Hennessy said; this year, it has already received 45 requests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a high standard,\" Hennessy said, adding that she personally reviews each request.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In all, there have been 10 amendments to San Francisco’s sanctuary law since 1989. Most were made in response to aggressive deportation policies implemented by the Obama administration — and most of them made it even harder for local officials to cooperate with ICE.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while the policies remain unpopular among conservatives outside San Francisco’s borders, a recent poll found that 79 percent of San Franciscans approve of the sanctuary law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A sanctuary state?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, state lawmakers are considering a bill that could make California a sanctuary state in the view of the Trump administration, by prohibiting state and local governments from using any local resources to assist in deportation actions. Senate President Kevin de León, a Los Angeles Democrat, says the bill will keep communities safe. It \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/04/03/california-senate-oks-sanctuary-state-bill-critics-fear-losing-federal-money/\" target=\"_blank\">passed the state Senate on Monday\u003c/a> and now heads to the Assembly for consideration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The last thing we need is for crime to increase in neighborhoods because police officers have left their beats, their duties to help set up a perimeter around a church, a shelter, or an elementary school, and serving as an extension of ICE agents. Local police departments protect and serve, they don’t enforce federal immigration law,\" de León said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sheriffs and others are fighting the bill. But de León and his supporters reject the \"sanctuary\" label as a misnomer. He said it’s important to note what so-called sanctuary laws don’t do. They don’t prevent local jails from sharing fingerprints with ICE: every county in the nation does that. They don’t prevent ICE from conducting raids on their own, or from coming into prisons or jails if they secure a warrant from a judge to take custody of an undocumented prisoner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People needed to understand, that nothing in the city-of-refuge ordinance could do anything to stop the federal government from enforcing its own immigration laws,\" said Robert Rubin, the author of San Francisco’s original law. \"It simply said we are not going to help you, we are not going to be a part of it. We think this is the wrong way to go.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s still unclear what the fiscal consequence for California or San Francisco may be. The city receives about $2 billion a year from the federal government, but many legal observers believe most of that money is legally untouchable by the Trump administration because it has no connection to law enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city isn’t waiting to see what the president does, however: In January, San Francisco sued over Trump’s funding threat, saying it is unconstitutional. De León agreed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The American Immigration Council noted \u003ca href=\"https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/sites/default/files/research/the_criminalization_of_immigration_in_the_united_states.pdf\">in a 2015 study\u003c/a> that the recent period of rising immigration to the United States from 1990 to 2013 also corresponded with plummeting crime rates across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, \u003ca href=\"https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/immigration/reports/2017/01/26/297366/the-effects-of-sanctuary-policies-on-crime-and-the-economy/\">a new study conducted by Tom K. Wong\u003c/a>, a political scientist at UC San Diego, found that there are broad benefits for local jurisdictions that resist cooperating with federal immigration enforcement — they are safer in the aggregate and enjoy stronger economies. \"For the first time we're kind of seeing that crime rates are lower when localities stay out of the business of federal immigration enforcement,\" Wong said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He looked at federal data on immigration detainers, an ICE-initiated 48-hour hold on anyone identified as being in the country illegally. When someone is arrested and detained in a local jail, their fingerprints are cross-referenced with a federal database of undocumented immigrants. If the fingerprints match those of someone known to be in the country illegally, ICE can ask local law enforcement to hold that person as federal officials decide whether to start the deportation process. (There have been court battles over whether holding people for days without actual charges with these federal immigration detainer requests is in violation of the Constitution.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wong compared the data from thousands of counties, those that ICE said did not honor detainer requests and those that did. \"We don't have to make up a definition of what a sanctuary locality is,\" Wong said. \"We have ICE telling us what it thinks a sanctuary county is.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On average, counties that did not comply with ICE requests experienced 35.5 fewer crimes per 10,000 people than those that did. Wong also found that counties that did not comply with detainer requests had higher household incomes, lower rates of unemployment, lower rates of poverty and were less likely to have children under 18 in households receiving public benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The crime numbers did not surprise Wong. Research has shown that working with federal immigration enforcement made it harder for local police agencies to investigate crimes because witnesses and victims who were in the country illegally would be less likely to come forward if they thought they risked being detained and deported. It could be that sanctuary counties have immigrant populations who are more integrated into their social fabric and economies, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The research also revealed that smaller, more rural counties experienced the most significant impact from sanctuary policies on their crime rates (lower) and economies (stronger). Taken together, Wong said, the net benefits to sanctuary cities would offset the impact of Trump's shame offensive on them. \"The ultimate effect is going to be minimal,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

The American Immigration Council noted \u003ca href=\"https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/sites/default/files/research/the_criminalization_of_immigration_in_the_united_states.pdf\">in a 2015 study\u003c/a> that the recent period of rising immigration to the United States from 1990 to 2013 also corresponded with plummeting crime rates across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Wong\u003c/a>, a political scientist at UC San Diego, found that there are broad benefits for local jurisdictions that resist cooperating with federal immigration enforcement — they are safer in the aggregate and enjoy stronger economies. \"For the first time we're kind of seeing that crime rates are lower when localities stay out of the business of federal immigration enforcement,\" Wong said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He looked at federal data on immigration detainers, an ICE-initiated 48-hour hold on anyone identified as being in the country illegally. When someone is arrested and detained in a local jail, their fingerprints are cross-referenced with a federal database of undocumented immigrants. If the fingerprints match those of someone known to be in the country illegally, ICE can ask local law enforcement to hold that person as federal officials decide whether to start the deportation process. (There have been court battles over whether holding people for days without actual charges with these federal immigration detainer requests is in violation of the Constitution.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wong compared the data from thousands of counties, those that ICE said did not honor detainer requests and those that did. \"We don't have to make up a definition of what a sanctuary locality is,\" Wong said. \"We have ICE telling us what it thinks a sanctuary county is.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On average, counties that did not comply with ICE requests experienced 35.5 fewer crimes per 10,000 people than those that did. Wong also found that counties that did not comply with detainer requests had higher household incomes, lower rates of unemployment, lower rates of poverty and were less likely to have children under 18 in households receiving public benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The crime numbers did not surprise Wong. Research has shown that working with federal immigration enforcement made it harder for local police agencies to investigate crimes because witnesses and victims who were in the country illegally would be less likely to come forward if they thought they risked being detained and deported. It could be that sanctuary counties have immigrant populations who are more integrated into their social fabric and economies, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The research also revealed that smaller, more rural counties experienced the most significant impact from sanctuary policies on their crime rates (lower) and economies (stronger). Taken together, Wong said, the net benefits to sanctuary cities would offset the impact of Trump's shame offensive on them. \"The ultimate effect is going to be minimal,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

Lopez-Sanchez had been convicted of immigration violations and deported multiple times, but San Francisco’s sanctuary laws allow local law enforcement to refrain from participating in federal immigration enforcement. Shortly after his release, Lopez-Sanchez was charged with killing Kate Steinle on July 1 as she walked along the city’s waterfront, generating national debate over sanctuary laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Question:\u003c/strong> Do you stand by your decision not to contact federal authorities before letting him [Lopez-Sanchez] go?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mirkarimi:\u003c/strong> I do. And I think it would be a real mistake for San Francisco to get sucked into this, where politicians at City Hall are professing their support for sanctuary city yet telling me with a wink and a nod to practice something different. ... There really is a schizophrenia between our municipal laws like the one signed into effect by Mayor Lee called “Due Process For All” in 2013 and how it limits that contact with ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement], and the changing federal procedures of immigration and customs and enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hennessy:\u003c/strong> The takeaway is there has to be a balance of public safety along with making sure we’re providing constitutional protections. …. I think he [Mirkarimi] erred on the wrong side of public safety in this matter. But I want to say one more thing, and that is that nobody could have known that Francisco-Lopez would go out and what would happen would happen. What we did know, though, is that he was a career criminal and we were releasing him into a city where he had no money. He had no relationships. He had nothing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Question:\u003c/strong> How would you have handled it differently if you were the sheriff? Would you have picked up the phone and called ICE?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Robinson:\u003c/strong> I certainly would have.

I think body cameras are a tool; they’re not the answer. I think accountability, expectations, working day-to-day and no complacency [are the answer].\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mirkarimi:\u003c/strong> I think it could be a problem altogether with culture inside prisons and jails throughout the United States. That’s why I’m the first sheriff in California to ask for body cameras to come in the jail system. I find it incomplete that President Obama and everybody else wants body cameras fitted on law enforcement on the streets of America. I can make 10 times the reasons as to why body cameras should be in every prison and jail in this country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Watch the exchange \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EchTiri_I0U&feature=youtu.be&t=17m15s\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10727458\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/robinson_crop.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10727458 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/robinson_crop-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"John Robinson\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/robinson_crop-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/robinson_crop-400x225.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/robinson_crop-1440x810.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/robinson_crop-1920x1080.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/robinson_crop-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/robinson_crop-960x540.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">John Robinson \u003ccite>(KQED Newsroom)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca id=\"politics\">\u003c/a>Politics and Communication\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tensions between Mayor Ed Lee and Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi have been ongoing since 2012, when Mayor Lee tried to remove Mirkarimi from office as he defended himself from domestic violence charges.

In 2012, she was pulled out of retirement by Mayor Ed Lee to serve as\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/03/20/live-eliana-lopezs-attorney-speaks\" target=\"_blank\"> interim sheriff\u003c/a> during Sheriff Mirkarimi’s \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/03/21/read-the-suspension-documents-served-to-ross-mirkarimi-today\" target=\"_blank\">suspension\u003c/a>. Of the three candidates, Hennessy has raised the most campaign dollars -- over $244,000 as of mid-September. Her endorsements are also the most numerous and include the Deputy Sheriffs' Association and the San Francisco Sheriff’s Managers and Supervisors Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hennessy said she has the executive and management experience to run the Sheriff's Department best: “I want to return proactive leadership to the San Francisco Sheriff’s Department.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>John Robinson\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Robinson worked as a correctional officer at San Quentin State Prison and later for the San Francisco Sheriff's Department for 20 years. He retired from public service in 1994 and is now CEO of Inter-State Security Inc., a private security firm. Robinson has kept a relatively low profile in this race, raising just over $16,000 as of mid-September.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robinson said he wants to address racial and economic disparities in the criminal justice system and reduce the high rate of incarceration of African-Americans and Hispanics: “I am the one who is intending to identify and promulgate a new path for San Francisco.

Lopez-Sanchez had been convicted of immigration violations and deported multiple times, but San Francisco’s sanctuary laws allow local law enforcement to refrain from participating in federal immigration enforcement. Shortly after his release, Lopez-Sanchez was charged with killing Kate Steinle on July 1 as she walked along the city’s waterfront, generating national debate over sanctuary laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Question:\u003c/strong> Do you stand by your decision not to contact federal authorities before letting him [Lopez-Sanchez] go?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mirkarimi:\u003c/strong> I do. And I think it would be a real mistake for San Francisco to get sucked into this, where politicians at City Hall are professing their support for sanctuary city yet telling me with a wink and a nod to practice something different. ... There really is a schizophrenia between our municipal laws like the one signed into effect by Mayor Lee called “Due Process For All” in 2013 and how it limits that contact with ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement], and the changing federal procedures of immigration and customs and enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hennessy:\u003c/strong> The takeaway is there has to be a balance of public safety along with making sure we’re providing constitutional protections. …. I think he [Mirkarimi] erred on the wrong side of public safety in this matter. But I want to say one more thing, and that is that nobody could have known that Francisco-Lopez would go out and what would happen would happen. What we did know, though, is that he was a career criminal and we were releasing him into a city where he had no money. He had no relationships. He had nothing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Question:\u003c/strong> How would you have handled it differently if you were the sheriff? Would you have picked up the phone and called ICE?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Robinson:\u003c/strong> I certainly would have.

I think it’s very important to set the expectations, communicate the expectations, work on them, train to them and to make sure that they’re followed and monitored. I think that’s through supervision and that’s the people that have the boots on the ground as the supervisors.

Critics of the idea cite the cost of the technology. Both sides agree that it's crucial to develop a policy for how -- and how long -- images captured on these cameras would be retained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hennessy:\u003c/strong> There are cameras in many of the new jails and they’re in most places where there’s prisoner access. And I do think that body cameras in this case would actually help, and I do think that’s something -- particularly in this linear jail, this one-style jail that we still have left in our resources -- I think it’s important to take a look at that. I think body cameras are a tool; they’re not the answer. I think accountability, expectations, working day-to-day and no complacency [are the answer].\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mirkarimi:\u003c/strong> I think it could be a problem altogether with culture inside prisons and jails throughout the United States. That’s why I’m the first sheriff in California to ask for body cameras to come in the jail system. I find it incomplete that President Obama and everybody else wants body cameras fitted on law enforcement on the streets of America. I can make 10 times the reasons as to why body cameras should be in every prison and jail in this country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Watch the exchange \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EchTiri_I0U&feature=youtu.be&t=17m15s\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10727458\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/robinson_crop.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10727458 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/robinson_crop-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"John Robinson\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/robinson_crop-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/robinson_crop-400x225.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/robinson_crop-1440x810.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/robinson_crop-1920x1080.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/robinson_crop-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/robinson_crop-960x540.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">John Robinson \u003ccite>(KQED Newsroom)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca id=\"politics\">\u003c/a>Politics and Communication\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tensions between Mayor Ed Lee and Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi have been ongoing since 2012, when Mayor Lee tried to remove Mirkarimi from office as he defended himself from domestic violence charges.

We’re elected to serve all the people and you don’t cherry-pick. You get the business of the people done. But I have to tell you, the net effect of what’s happened is that I’ve become extremely resourceful and effective in making this department, we together, a national leader in criminal justice reform without the mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Robinson: \u003c/strong>It’s essential for the sheriff to be able to communicate with the most powerful political person in this city in order to get the funds necessary in order to impact the system of recidivism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hennessy: \u003c/strong>I believe that in order to create new initiatives, you really have to work with your staff and the people on the ground who are going to be responsible for putting those initiatives into force, and I think that’s something that’s been missing. I think that what we’ve had is some leadership by headlines, particularly in The Examiner, and it’s been interesting to see that happen. I think that leadership requires effective communication but communication is sometimes, it’s listening, it’s not just talking but listening. It’s assessing and it’s got to be two-way communication up and down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
