The\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>two-count indictment accuses Abrego Garcia “of conspiracy to unlawfully transport illegal aliens for financial gain” and “unlawful transportation of illegal aliens for financial gain.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bondi says Abrego Garcia will face trial in the U.S. on these charges and, if found guilty, will serve time in a U.S. prison before being deported back to El Salvador.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abrego Garcia’s attorney said they’re going to keep fighting to get him a fair trial. “Now, after months of delay and secrecy, they’re bringing him back, not to correct their error but to prosecute him. This shows that they were playing games with the court all along,” Abrego Garcia’s lawyer, Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, told NPR. “Due process means the chance to defend yourself before you’re punished, not after. This is an abuse of power, not justice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12042492 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/20250501_MayDayRally_GC-11_qed-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Salvadoran native who had been living with his wife and children in Maryland, Abrego-Garcia was deported in March to El Salvador’s notorious CECOT prison despite a 2019 court order barring his deportation to that country due to fear of persecution. The Trump administration defended the move, claiming he was a member of the criminal gang MS-13. His wife and attorneys deny that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 10-page criminal indictment unsealed today alleges that Abrego Garcia participated in more than 100 trips smuggling individuals, including unaccompanied minors and alleged members of the Salvadoran gang MS-13.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abrego Garcia’s deportation case has become a bedrock for both the Trump administration and immigration advocates as the push to streamline deportations undercuts key elements of due process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the announcement of Abrego Garcia’s return, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement that the indictment against Abrego Garcia “proves the unhinged Democrat Party was wrong, and their stenographers in the Fake News Media were once again played like fools,” adding that the administration would “continue to hold criminals accountable to the fullest extent of the law.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s been nearly three months since the father of three children was pulled over in his car by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and ended up imprisoned in El Salvador. Abrego Garcia was arrested on March 12 on his way home from work in Baltimore. He was deported a few days later, along with more than 230 other immigrants, and housed at CECOT. By April 20, according to court documents, Abrego Garcia was moved to a lower security Salvadoran prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration was quick to admit that it had deported Abrego Garcia due to an “administrative error.” Abrego Garcia, who had arrived unlawfully in the U.S., when he was a teenager, had received protection from removal to El Salvador in 2019 by an immigration judge. That protection, known as withholding of removal, had never been challenged by government officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis in Maryland has overseen the months-long legal case over the deportation of Abrego Garcia. Xinis, an Obama-appointed judge, last month ordered the government to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s return. The Justice Department repeatedly invoked the state secrets privilege in federal court to withhold information related to the first three flights to El Salvador, one of which Abrego Garcia was on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On April 10, in a 9–0 ruling U.S. Supreme Court that\u003cu> \u003c/u>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2025/04/10/nx-s1-5358421/supreme-court-abrego-garcia-deportation-decision\">\u003cu>the government “must facilitate\u003c/u>\u003c/a>” the return of Abrego Garcia. Still, the administration slow-walked the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump officials had remained adamant since the Supreme Court ruling that Abrego Garcia would “never” return to the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Salvadoran President \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2025/04/18/nx-s1-5368266/trump-week-el-salvador-abrego-garcia\">\u003cu>Bukele also said\u003c/u>\u003c/a> he would not release Abrego Garcia. Notably, Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., traveled to El Salvador in late April to seek Abrego Garcia’s release. Several other Democrats made their own trips, arguing that the Trump administration was violating due process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal prosecutors have requested that Abrego Garcia be held in “pre-trial custody because he poses a danger to the community and a serious risk of flight.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

The Trump administration defended the move, claiming he was a member of the criminal gang MS-13. His wife and attorneys deny that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 10-page criminal indictment unsealed today alleges that Abrego Garcia participated in more than 100 trips smuggling individuals, including unaccompanied minors and alleged members of the Salvadoran gang MS-13.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abrego Garcia’s deportation case has become a bedrock for both the Trump administration and immigration advocates as the push to streamline deportations undercuts key elements of due process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the announcement of Abrego Garcia’s return, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement that the indictment against Abrego Garcia “proves the unhinged Democrat Party was wrong, and their stenographers in the Fake News Media were once again played like fools,” adding that the administration would “continue to hold criminals accountable to the fullest extent of the law.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s been nearly three months since the father of three children was pulled over in his car by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and ended up imprisoned in El Salvador. Abrego Garcia was arrested on March 12 on his way home from work in Baltimore. He was deported a few days later, along with more than 230 other immigrants, and housed at CECOT. By April 20, according to court documents, Abrego Garcia was moved to a lower security Salvadoran prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration was quick to admit that it had deported Abrego Garcia due to an “administrative error.” Abrego Garcia, who had arrived unlawfully in the U.S., when he was a teenager, had received protection from removal to El Salvador in 2019 by an immigration judge. That protection, known as withholding of removal, had never been challenged by government officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis in Maryland has overseen the months-long legal case over the deportation of Abrego Garcia. Xinis, an Obama-appointed judge, last month ordered the government to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s return. The Justice Department repeatedly invoked the state secrets privilege in federal court to withhold information related to the first three flights to El Salvador, one of which Abrego Garcia was on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On April 10, in a 9–0 ruling U.S. Supreme Court that\u003cu> \u003c/u>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2025/04/10/nx-s1-5358421/supreme-court-abrego-garcia-deportation-decision\">\u003cu>the government “must facilitate\u003c/u>\u003c/a>” the return of Abrego Garcia. Still, the administration slow-walked the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump officials had remained adamant since the Supreme Court ruling that Abrego Garcia would “never” return to the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Salvadoran President \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2025/04/18/nx-s1-5368266/trump-week-el-salvador-abrego-garcia\">\u003cu>Bukele also said\u003c/u>\u003c/a> he would not release Abrego Garcia. Notably, Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., traveled to El Salvador in late April to seek Abrego Garcia’s release. Several other Democrats made their own trips, arguing that the Trump administration was violating due process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal prosecutors have requested that Abrego Garcia be held in “pre-trial custody because he poses a danger to the community and a serious risk of flight.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

In California, about a third of them could lose their health coverage, according to an analysis by the research group Urban Institute.

House Speaker Mike Johnson \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbsnews.com/news/mike-johnson-house-speaker-trump-bill-medicaid-work-requirements/\">told CBS that work requirements\u003c/a> have a “moral component” and that people who don’t work are “defrauding the system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But health policy researchers and advocates point to New Hampshire and Arkansas, where state-imposed work requirements failed in recent years. Their \u003ca href=\"https://www.healthaffairs.org/doi/10.1377/hlthaff.2020.00538\">policies didn’t actually boost employment\u003c/a>; they did, however, leave thousands of eligible people without health insurance within a matter of months. Both states have since canceled their work policies.

Like many populists, Trump wants to “Make America Great Again” and champions nostalgia about a past golden age.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump said he wants to remind Americans of “our extraordinary heritage, consistent progress toward becoming a more perfect Union, and unmatched record of advancing liberty, prosperity, and human flourishing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But many historians are sounding an alarm and say the president is going too far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics worry that the executive actions taken together, for instance, would minimize or even erase achievements by women and minorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Organization of American Historians says that under the Trump administration, institutions such as museums and historic parks are now “\u003ca href=\"https://www.oah.org/2025/03/31/statement-on-executive-order-restoring-truth-and-sanity-to-american-history/\">under assault\u003c/a>.” The 6,000-member group calls the president’s order “a disturbing attack on core institutions and the public presentation of history, and indeed on historians and history itself.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s allies defend his executive actions, saying they’re meant to correct what conservatives see as attempts to skew history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“President Trump continues to fulfill his promise in restoring truth and common sense to the United States and its institutions,” White House Spokesman Davis Ingle said in a statement to NPR. “President Trump is ensuring that we are celebrating true American history and ingenuity instead of corrupting it in the name of left-wing ideology.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12041448\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1600px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12041448\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/npr.brightspotcdn-copy-11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1259\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/npr.brightspotcdn-copy-11.jpg 1600w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/npr.brightspotcdn-copy-11-800x630.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/npr.brightspotcdn-copy-11-1020x803.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/npr.brightspotcdn-copy-11-160x126.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/npr.brightspotcdn-copy-11-1536x1209.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cadets training to join the first black combat unit in the US Army Air Corps are seen with an instructor in Tuskegee, Ala., on Sept. 5, 1942. \u003ccite>(AP Photo)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Here’s a sampling of Trump’s actions, and what critics and supporters say about the battle over how the country’s cultural and historical heritage should be presented.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Executive actions and orders related to history\u003c/h2>\n\u003cul class=\"edTag\">\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/restoring-truth-and-sanity-to-american-history/\">Restoring Truth And Sanity To American History\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nThe\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2025/03/27/nx-s1-5342914/smithsonian-president-trump-executive-order\"> March 27 executive order\u003c/a> calls for the removal of “divisive, race-centered ideology” at the Smithsonian Institution, and instructs the Interior secretary to \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2025/03/28/nx-s1-5343613/trump-executive-order-smithsonian-monuments\">revoke recent changes to landmarks and monuments\u003c/a> if they’re found to “perpetuate a false reconstruction of American history.”\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/improving-education-outcomes-by-empowering-parents-states-and-communities/\">Improving Education Outcomes by Empowering Parents, States, and Communities\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nThe March 20 executive order seeks to shut down the Department of Education.

And I would say the more accurate it is, in terms of its complexity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Organization of American Historians agrees. In its response to Trump’s order on American History, it warned that his action “proposes to rewrite history to reflect a glorified narrative that downplays or disappears elements of America’s history — slavery, segregation, discrimination, division — while suppressing the voices of historically excluded groups.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some instances, legal challenges have \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2025/05/06/nx-s1-5388902/library-funding-cuts-trump-injunction\">put some of the initiatives on hold\u003c/a> for now.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Conservatives applaud Trump’s moves\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Conservative groups have largely welcomed Trump’s push to influence history and culture.

The country’s story includes the institution of slavery and the Jim Crow era, he explains, as well as the Constitution and the Declaration\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>of Independence and the notion of God-given individual rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Butcher’s view, the history of race in the U.S. has been portrayed recently in inaccurate or problematic ways, citing both \u003cem>The 1619 Project\u003c/em> and an influential essay, “\u003ca href=\"https://admin.artsci.washington.edu/sites/adming/files/unpacking-invisible-knapsack.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack\u003c/a>” by Peggy McIntosh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Criticizing those works, Butcher argues that they’re based on the “idea that there are burdens that America will either never get around or that systemic racism can’t be resolved.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It doesn’t give students the chance to look back in American history and say these were, of course, imperfect people who were trying, in many cases, in key cases, to live up to America’s founding ideals,” Butcher says. “And I think that that’s the message that we need to be giving to the next generation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Renaming places can unite people — if done correctly\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In the U.S., recent pushes to transform how the past is remembered echo another large-scale attempt at revamping history: the \u003ca href=\"https://www.neh.gov/news/reconstruction-vs-redemption\">Redemption era\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the decades after the Civil War, white Southerners led a violent counteraction to Reconstruction and sought a return to the old order based on white supremacy. Statues and monuments sprang up to honor the Confederacy. Through at least the 1940s, U.S. military bases were named for Confederate leaders, \u003ca href=\"https://history.army.mil/Research/Frequently-Asked-Questions/Naming-of-US-Army-Posts/\">according to the U.S. Army\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 1950s and ’60s, as tensions again rose over civil rights in the U.S., so did memorials to the Confederacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past decade, many monuments and memorials linked to white supremacy made headlines again. This time, they’ve been targeted for \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/08/05/633952187/where-do-confederate-monuments-go-after-they-come-down\">removal\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2023/11/06/1211025633/the-last-army-base-named-for-a-confederate-general-is-now-called-fort-eisenhower\">renaming\u003c/a> during a national reckoning that grew after shocking events such as the \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2016/06/08/481149042/how-a-shooting-changed-charlestons-oldest-black-church\">mass shooting that killed nine Black worshipers\u003c/a> at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C., in 2015 and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/trial-over-killing-of-george-floyd/2021/04/20/987777911/court-says-jury-has-reached-verdict-in-derek-chauvins-murder-trial\">the police killing of George Floyd\u003c/a> in Minneapolis in 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A similar dynamic can be seen in other countries: In times of social and political upheaval, leaders seek to refocus the lens of history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Political regimes seek “to represent and manipulate landscapes to promote their own ideological and political objectives,” says Martha Lungi Kabinde-Machate, who\u003ca href=\"https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/03736245.2024.2418603\"> studies language and names\u003c/a> at Tshwane University of Technology in Pretoria, South Africa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Changing things like street names, she says, helps politicians focus “on cleansing, restoring, and transforming memory.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kabinde-Machate has analyzed what happened after the end of apartheid when South Africa renamed geographic markers like streets. The most successful efforts, she says, use eponyms “that unite people rather than names that cause divisions … These [uniting] names include athletes, poets, scholars, doctors, and musicians.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some ways, President Trump appears to be following this thinking: Many people to be featured in the “Garden of American Heroes” are from entertainment (Alex Trebek) and sports (Kobe Bryant). But his approach to military forts and historical markers is more divisive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump \u003ca href=\"https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2020/06/10/trump-opposes-changing-bases-named-for-confederate-generals/\">previously opposed a plan to rename U.S. bases\u003c/a> if their namesakes were Confederate figures. And in his second term, Trump’s defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, has restored names such as \u003ca href=\"https://www.live5news.com/2025/03/03/pentagon-changes-name-georgia-army-base-back-fort-benning-dumping-fort-moore/\">Fort Benning\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2025/02/11/nx-s1-5293246/hegseth-fort-bragg-liberty-name\">Fort Bragg\u003c/a>. The Pentagon says those two installations now honor U.S. veterans with the same last names as Confederate officers. But as Hegseth announced the change to the now-former Fort Liberty in North Carolina, he stated, “That’s right: Bragg is back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such reversions raise a question: The Trump administration’s push to remake American history is stirring controversy, but what kind of lasting effects might it have?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As long as the data is not lost, it seems all reversible,” Vanderbilt’s Cowie says. “Especially since they’re executive orders, which you can immediately reverse with a new regime.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Trump’s intent is to make changes that truly resonate and reflect America, Kabinde-Machate’s work suggests that the process should be transparent. The goal, she says, is that “everyone has a chance to participate and express their opinions on the process; the information should be made public.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

In its response to Trump’s order on American History, it warned that his action “proposes to rewrite history to reflect a glorified narrative that downplays or disappears elements of America’s history — slavery, segregation, discrimination, division — while suppressing the voices of historically excluded groups.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some instances, legal challenges have \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2025/05/06/nx-s1-5388902/library-funding-cuts-trump-injunction\">put some of the initiatives on hold\u003c/a> for now.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Conservatives applaud Trump’s moves\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Conservative groups have largely welcomed Trump’s push to influence history and culture.

And in his second term, Trump’s defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, has restored names such as \u003ca href=\"https://www.live5news.com/2025/03/03/pentagon-changes-name-georgia-army-base-back-fort-benning-dumping-fort-moore/\">Fort Benning\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2025/02/11/nx-s1-5293246/hegseth-fort-bragg-liberty-name\">Fort Bragg\u003c/a>. The Pentagon says those two installations now honor U.S. veterans with the same last names as Confederate officers. But as Hegseth announced the change to the now-former Fort Liberty in North Carolina, he stated, “That’s right: Bragg is back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such reversions raise a question: The Trump administration’s push to remake American history is stirring controversy, but what kind of lasting effects might it have?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As long as the data is not lost, it seems all reversible,” Vanderbilt’s Cowie says. “Especially since they’re executive orders, which you can immediately reverse with a new regime.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Trump’s intent is to make changes that truly resonate and reflect America, Kabinde-Machate’s work suggests that the process should be transparent. The goal, she says, is that “everyone has a chance to participate and express their opinions on the process; the information should be made public.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

While our team has reviewed it, there may be errors.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:00:35] Tyche, you’ve covered immigration for a long time. Based on your conversations with immigration lawyers, advocates, just what we’ve seen in the news, how would you describe the mood right now, especially on college campuses?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Tyche Hendricks \u003c/strong>[00:01:30] I would say destabilized. I think there’s a lot of fear. And for university administrations, this is a very tough time. They’re feeling pressure from the Trump administration over DEI policies, over their curricula around Middle Eastern studies and so forth. And real dollars are being withheld. And so they are destabilized and concerned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:01:54] How much of a shift is this and how has the Trump administration justified these actions?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Tyche Hendricks \u003c/strong>[00:02:02] So the Trump administration has said, there’s no room for your student activism. They are equating pro-Palestinian activism with anti-Semitism. And Marco Rubio has said we gave you a visa to come here and study. We didn’t give you a visa come here and tear up universities. But in some of these cases, these are students who were not involved in any political activism. But in, some cases, they may have had a minor. brush with the law in their history, and it seems like those things are being targeted as well. You know, student visas do get revoked, but it’s typically if you stop going to class, you know, if your course load falls below the required amount or if you, you know take a job that you’re not authorized to have under your visa or something like that. But this is really, I would say, pretty unprecedented that the government is coming in and sort of terminating people’s student status even when they’ve been in good standing at their schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n\u003c/p>\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:03:08] What do we know about how many students have had their visas revoked, maybe even face deportation, both nationally and here in the Bay Area, California?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Tyche Hendricks \u003c/strong>[00:03:19] The latest numbers that I have at UC Berkeley, there have been 21 students, which includes undergrads, grad students, and also recent graduates who have still permission to be getting some practical experience here after they graduate. 21 of them have had their visas revoked. I would say there’s definitely over 100 in California and the number keeps growing. And there could be, I mean, there’s at least 600 maybe. above, well above a thousand nationwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:03:56] You’ve also reported on an instance of two students pushing back, two international students pushing back via two separate lawsuits. Who are these students and what do we know about them?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Tyche Hendricks \u003c/strong>[00:04:07] We don’t know a lot about them because they are scared that they could be targeted for retaliation, including potentially being arrested by ICE and detained and put into deportation proceedings. So they filed their lawsuits as, you know, Student Doe #1 and Student Doe #2. What we know is that one is at a college in Orange County, another one’s in the Inland Empire in a university there. and that they are both from Muslim-majority countries. They have not been involved in any activism. They each had a misdemeanor traffic issue on their record. I think in at least one of those cases, the government knew about it when they issued the student visa, so it wasn’t a surprise. And so this kind of came out of the blue for these students. And they’ve sued ICE, the Department of Homeland Security in federal court in the los angeles area and they’ve said like this is unlawful that you have terminated our student status when you know there’s no there’s no basis for it we’ve complied with all the terms of our student visas .\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:05:17] What happened to their student visa status?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Tyche Hendricks \u003c/strong>[00:05:20] You know, it’s a little complicated system here. But basically, the State Department issues the student visa that says, you have permission to come into our country and go to a university here. And then based on that, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which is sort of the police agency within. Homeland Security that’s tracking people inside the country has a big database of students. It’s called SEVIS. And universities have to put information in there to show that the students are complying with the terms of being an international student here. Now, in this case, ICE has come in and terminated their records in this database, basically saying, you don’t have student status. and that then makes them potentially deportable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n\u003c/p>\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:06:15] Understandably Student Doe #1, Student Doe #2 not talking to the media, but I know you spoke with their lawyer What can you tell me about what he said and what’s being alleged here?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n\u003c/p>\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Tyche Hendricks \u003c/strong>[00:06:26] So I spoke with Khaled Alrabe, who is a Berkeley-based attorney with the National Immigration Project. He’s representing both of these students who filed suits. To be clear, these are not class action suits that would cover lots of other people as well. They’re just in these particular cases, but they want to be restored as students so that they don’t have to fear deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Khaled Alrabe \u003c/strong>[00:06:50] We’re the first to file lawsuit is many forthcoming, and this should be viewed in the context of the larger kind of environment we’re in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Tyche Hendricks \u003c/strong>[00:06:57] He says, you know, it’s been very alarming, very abrupt all across the country, these student visas getting revoked, and that it really should be a concern for everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Khaled Alrabe \u003c/strong>[00:07:09] These terminations are unlawful. They entered on visas, valid visas. They have been in compliance with their student status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Tyche Hendricks \u003c/strong>[00:07:18] And he said, you know, they’re trying to figure out a pattern for who’s being targeted. Some of the students have been, you know, politically active against Israel’s war in Gaza. Some of them have had minor infractions, misdemeanors like these two students. But it seems like a lot of these students are from Muslim-majority countries, the Middle East, South Asia, Muslim- majority countries in Africa. so you know, that’s starting to show up as a pattern that is concerning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:07:50] Have ICE or the State Department said anything about this case?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Tyche Hendricks \u003c/strong>[00:07:55] I reached out to both, and ICE did not respond to my request for comment. The State Department did send a statement that said they have zero tolerance for non-citizens who violate U.S. laws, quote, those who break the law, including students, may face visa refusal, visa revocation, and or deportation. And they also said that they revoke visas every day and that they do it in order to keep America safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:08:46] Tyche, another part of this story, of course, is the role of universities themselves. What are these schools doing or not doing as their students are having visas revoked or are even facing deportation, possibly?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Tyche Hendricks \u003c/strong>[00:08:59] Public universities have to comply with California’s law about protecting people’s information, and they are clear that they’re going to do that. They also have legal resources available for immigrant students. But beyond that, they’ve been pretty circumspect, I would say. And they haven’t been willing to talk to me or the press generally because they are under a lot of pressure, Alan. The Trump administration has suspended or halted research grants that are, you know, federal funds that go to a lot of universities.

And they will have hearings, initial hearings, and then their cases will be heard. You know, they may be looking for some kind of a temporary stay or restraining order to be put in place to protect them from deportation while the case goes forward.

I mean, we’ve talked about this a little bit. The administration is willing to go very, very far in order to deport people that things shouldn’t be here, including even people with green cards.

The Trump administration is sending people to El Salvador, to an intense prison. They’re locking them up without any due process, sending people to Guantanamo without access to attorneys saying, for example, that, you know, they’re not just going after undocumented people, but they’re going after people and trying to take away their green cards, which is their lawful permanent residence status. And so the overall message is, if you’re an immigrant, you’re not safe here. And in many ways, the message is you don’t belong here. And in a state like California, where one in four of us was born in another country and many, many more of us have parents who were born in other country, that’s a pretty chilling message.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Based on your conversations with immigration lawyers, advocates, just what we’ve seen in the news, how would you describe the mood right now, especially on college campuses?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Tyche Hendricks \u003c/strong>[00:01:30] I would say destabilized. I think there’s a lot of fear. And for university administrations, this is a very tough time. They’re feeling pressure from the Trump administration over DEI policies, over their curricula around Middle Eastern studies and so forth. And real dollars are being withheld. And so they are destabilized and concerned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:01:54] How much of a shift is this and how has the Trump administration justified these actions?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Tyche Hendricks \u003c/strong>[00:02:02] So the Trump administration has said, there’s no room for your student activism. They are equating pro-Palestinian activism with anti-Semitism. And Marco Rubio has said we gave you a visa to come here and study. We didn’t give you a visa come here and tear up universities. But in some of these cases, these are students who were not involved in any political activism. But in, some cases, they may have had a minor. brush with the law in their history, and it seems like those things are being targeted as well. You know, student visas do get revoked, but it’s typically if you stop going to class, you know, if your course load falls below the required amount or if you, you know take a job that you’re not authorized to have under your visa or something like that. But this is really, I would say, pretty unprecedented that the government is coming in and sort of terminating people’s student status even when they’ve been in good standing at their schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n\u003c/p>\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:03:08] What do we know about how many students have had their visas revoked, maybe even face deportation, both nationally and here in the Bay Area, California?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Tyche Hendricks \u003c/strong>[00:03:19] The latest numbers that I have at UC Berkeley, there have been 21 students, which includes undergrads, grad students, and also recent graduates who have still permission to be getting some practical experience here after they graduate. 21 of them have had their visas revoked. I would say there’s definitely over 100 in California and the number keeps growing. And there could be, I mean, there’s at least 600 maybe. above, well above a thousand nationwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:03:56] You’ve also reported on an instance of two students pushing back, two international students pushing back via two separate lawsuits. Who are these students and what do we know about them?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Tyche Hendricks \u003c/strong>[00:04:07] We don’t know a lot about them because they are scared that they could be targeted for retaliation, including potentially being arrested by ICE and detained and put into deportation proceedings. So they filed their lawsuits as, you know, Student Doe #1 and Student Doe #2. What we know is that one is at a college in Orange County, another one’s in the Inland Empire in a university there. and that they are both from Muslim-majority countries. They have not been involved in any activism. They each had a misdemeanor traffic issue on their record. I think in at least one of those cases, the government knew about it when they issued the student visa, so it wasn’t a surprise. And so this kind of came out of the blue for these students. And they’ve sued ICE, the Department of Homeland Security in federal court in the los angeles area and they’ve said like this is unlawful that you have terminated our student status when you know there’s no there’s no basis for it we’ve complied with all the terms of our student visas .\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:05:17] What happened to their student visa status?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Tyche Hendricks \u003c/strong>[00:05:20] You know, it’s a little complicated system here. But basically, the State Department issues the student visa that says, you have permission to come into our country and go to a university here. And then based on that, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which is sort of the police agency within. Homeland Security that’s tracking people inside the country has a big database of students. It’s called SEVIS. And universities have to put information in there to show that the students are complying with the terms of being an international student here. Now, in this case, ICE has come in and terminated their records in this database, basically saying, you don’t have student status. and that then makes them potentially deportable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n\u003c/p>\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:06:15] Understandably Student Doe #1, Student Doe #2 not talking to the media, but I know you spoke with their lawyer What can you tell me about what he said and what’s being alleged here?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n\u003c/p>\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Tyche Hendricks \u003c/strong>[00:06:26] So I spoke with Khaled Alrabe, who is a Berkeley-based attorney with the National Immigration Project. He’s representing both of these students who filed suits. To be clear, these are not class action suits that would cover lots of other people as well. They’re just in these particular cases, but they want to be restored as students so that they don’t have to fear deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Khaled Alrabe \u003c/strong>[00:06:50] We’re the first to file lawsuit is many forthcoming, and this should be viewed in the context of the larger kind of environment we’re in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Tyche Hendricks \u003c/strong>[00:06:57] He says, you know, it’s been very alarming, very abrupt all across the country, these student visas getting revoked, and that it really should be a concern for everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Khaled Alrabe \u003c/strong>[00:07:09] These terminations are unlawful. They entered on visas, valid visas. They have been in compliance with their student status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Tyche Hendricks \u003c/strong>[00:07:18] And he said, you know, they’re trying to figure out a pattern for who’s being targeted. Some of the students have been, you know, politically active against Israel’s war in Gaza. Some of them have had minor infractions, misdemeanors like these two students. But it seems like a lot of these students are from Muslim-majority countries, the Middle East, South Asia, Muslim- majority countries in Africa. so you know, that’s starting to show up as a pattern that is concerning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:07:50] Have ICE or the State Department said anything about this case?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Tyche Hendricks \u003c/strong>[00:07:55] I reached out to both, and ICE did not respond to my request for comment. The State Department did send a statement that said they have zero tolerance for non-citizens who violate U.S. laws, quote, those who break the law, including students, may face visa refusal, visa revocation, and or deportation. And they also said that they revoke visas every day and that they do it in order to keep America safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:08:46] Tyche, another part of this story, of course, is the role of universities themselves. What are these schools doing or not doing as their students are having visas revoked or are even facing deportation, possibly?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Tyche Hendricks \u003c/strong>[00:08:59] Public universities have to comply with California’s law about protecting people’s information, and they are clear that they’re going to do that. They also have legal resources available for immigrant students. But beyond that, they’ve been pretty circumspect, I would say. And they haven’t been willing to talk to me or the press generally because they are under a lot of pressure, Alan. The Trump administration has suspended or halted research grants that are, you know, federal funds that go to a lot of universities. And they’ve initiated investigations of universities, so there’s a lot of pressure on colleges and universities around California and across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:09:44] So if there’s not strong pushback from universities, what kind of pushback or resistance is out there right now?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Tyche Hendricks \u003c/strong>[00:09:53] I spoke with Zahra Billoo, the executive director of the Bay Area chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Zahra Billoo \u003c/strong>[00:10:00] We have been on watch concerned about more abductions, as we saw with Mahmoud Khalil.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Tyche Hendricks \u003c/strong>[00:10:07] She was on her way to Stanford to do a know your rights training with students there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Zahra Billoo \u003c/strong>[00:10:13] So we have been receiving inquiries from other visa holders, as well as, by the way, from U.S. citizens who are asking, could they be next?
