"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.

The letter asks the California Board of State and Community Corrections — an agency in the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation that oversees an $18 million a year federal grant program — to prove by June 30 that the state complies with a federal law that \u003ca href=\"https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1373\">requires local governments to communicate with\u003c/a> federal immigration officials about the immigration status of people they come in contact with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Many of these jurisdictions are … crumbling under the weight of illegal immigration and violent crime,” the Justice Department said in a news release, despite the fact that\u003ca href=\"https://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2016-09-26/us-crime-rate-rises-slightly-remains-near-20-year-low\"> violent crime rates in the U.S. are near record lows\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”2mLv47RLRO5pJ0MDFsFi29BQkFJAu8Py”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The news release also stated, “Just several weeks ago in California’s Bay Area, after a raid captured 11 MS-13 members on charges including murder, extortion and drug trafficking, city officials seemed more concerned with reassuring illegal immigrants that the raid was unrelated to immigration than with warning other MS-13 members that they were next.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tracie Cone, a spokeswoman for the Board of State and Community Corrections, said in a written statement that the board complies with the federal law cited in the letter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past, California officials at both the state and local level have argued that while their sanctuary laws prevent them from participating in immigration raids or holding people in jails or prison who would otherwise be released, they \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/11/29/donald-trump-wants-to-cut-funding-from-sanctuary-cities-but-can-he/\">do communicate with federal officials and therefore follow the law\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Angela Chan, an immigrants rights attorney who has helped draft sanctuary laws, said the letter is nothing more than posturing by Sessions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“There’s no teeth in this whatsoever,” she said. “\u003c/span>\u003cspan class=\"s1\">There’s still nothing in this letter that says we are going to pull funding, nothing in this letter that says we believe you are violating this federal statute, and nothing in this letter that says the federal government has the power to pull funding.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[documentcloud url=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3675426-Justice-Department-4-21-letters-to-sanctuary\" notes=\"true\" text=\"true\" search=\"true\" sidebar=\"true\" pdf=\"true\" responsive=\"true\" page=\"1\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s Trust Act prohibits local jails from holding most undocumented immigrants strictly for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) if they should otherwise be released, and many of the counties that receive the money under the grant program at issue — known as the \u003ca href=\"https://www.bja.gov/jag/\">Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program\u003c/a>, or JAG — have their own sanctuary policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But threats by Sessions and President Trump have inspired many Democrats in California to push for even stronger protections for undocumented immigrants, ever since Trump issued a \u003ca href=\"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/01/30/2017-02102/enhancing-public-safety-in-the-interior-of-the-united-states\">Jan. 25 executive order\u003c/a> directing the Justice Department to strip funding from sanctuary jurisdictions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California lawmakers are \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/04/13/california-debates-whether-to-become-a-sanctuary-state/\">weighing a bill that would expand\u003c/a> the statewide restrictions even further. Senate President Kevin de León, who is authoring the legislation, lashed out Friday over the letters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It has become abundantly clear that Attorney General Sessions and the Trump Administration are basing their law enforcement policies on principles of white supremacy — not American values,” he said in a written statement. “Their constant and systematic targeting of diverse cities and states goes beyond constitutional norms and will be challenged at every level.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview, de León said that whether the letter is simply posturing or not, “when they make threats to withhold needed police officers, we take that seriously.” He compared the threat to “holding a gun to the head” of cities, counties and states that want to protect “hard-working immigrants” and said he remains committed to his legislation, \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB54\">Senate Bill 54\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>De León noted that the bill has been amended to allow law enforcement officials to work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement if they come across people with serious and violent criminal histories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, San Francisco — which has a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/04/06/long-history-of-sanctuary-laws-debate-in-san-francisco/\">long history of protecting undocumented immigrants\u003c/a> — and Santa Clara counties already sued the federal government over the executive order, saying it is \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/01/31/s-f-files-suit-against-trump-saying-punishing-sanctuary-cities-is-illegal/\">unconstitutional\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They want a court to \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/03/09/s-f-city-attorney-asks-court-to-block-trump-order-stripping-sanctuary-city-funding/\">block the order\u003c/a> from taking effect; a judge considering the case \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/04/14/trumps-plan-to-cut-sanctuary-funds-threatens-s-f-santa-clara-counties-judge-says/\">seems inclined to side with the counties \u003c/a>while the case plays out in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the \u003ca href=\"http://www.bscc.ca.gov/downloads/2016%20JAG%20Project%20Descriptions%20-%20Rev%202.3.17.pdf\">counties that receive JAG grants\u003c/a> to pay for programs in the areas of education and crime prevention, law enforcement and prosecution, and courts, including indigent defense:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Contra Costa County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Kern County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Los Angeles County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>San Diego County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>San Francisco City and County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>San Joaquin County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>San Mateo County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Ventura County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Butte County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Merced County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Placer County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Santa Cruz County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Sonoma County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Stanislaus County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Tulare County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Yolo County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Calaveras County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Humboldt County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Imperial County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Kings County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Lassen County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Madera County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Mariposa County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Mendocino County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Modoc County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Mono County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Plumas County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>San Benito County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Shasta County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Tehama County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Tuolumne County\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Yuba County\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n",

"content": "\u003cp>Protesters rallied in downtown Los Angeles last month in support of 48-year-old Romulo Avelica Gonzalez, a father of four who \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2017/03/07/69635/attorney-uphill-battle-to-keep-highland-park-dad-i/\">immigration officials arrested\u003c/a> in February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal agents pulled him over in Highland Park, about six blocks from where he had taken one of his daughters to school, and while on the way to drop off another daughter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His case made national headlines. A video of the arrest filmed by his sobbing 13-year-old daughter was widely shared on social media. Politicians got involved. Supporters held a fundraiser to help cover his legal expenses. A broad network of activists and supporters, many strangers, came to the family's defense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The keen interest in Avelica's arrest may not have risen\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>to the level it did two years ago, under President Obama's administration, when his family says immigration agents first came to their home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"h7QZdsx09aV3F9LeMcv27qQGwCGWonIy\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In 2015 in September, ICE showed up to my mom’s house,\" said Brenda Avelica, 24, one of her father's older daughters. \"He felt that it was ICE, so he didn’t come out. My dad didn’t come out. And they didn’t have an order to come in. So they didn’t take him that day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials would not comment on any prior attempts to arrest Romulo Avelica Gonzalez. But they did confirm he would have been a priority for arrest even under the Obama administration's guidelines: According to the immigration agency, Avelica had a 2014 deportation order and a minor criminal record, including a DUI dating back to 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brenda Avelica said after the 2015 visit, the family took precautions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We lived paranoid, like scared,\" she said. \"We didn’t have a gate in the back, so we put in a big gate with a lock. We had one dog, but we got another dog, for guarding purposes … my dad didn’t go to the store by himself after that anymore. Somebody went with him, just to be a witness, or in case something like that was going to happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said it took months before the family relaxed and let down its guard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We started living normally again,\" Brenda Avelica said. \"But it was always in the back of our heads. I don't think there was a day that we weren't ... thinking that maybe it could happen.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What's Different Now\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Many immigrant families with members in the U.S illegally are living with similar fears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the Trump administration signed an executive order in January establishing a policy of strict enforcement against unauthorized immigrants, arrests have made frequent headlines. Some immigrants have \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2017/03/20/69948/fearing-immigration-crackdown-some-go-into-hiding/\">gone into hiding\u003c/a> or are preparing \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2017/03/21/69950/immigrants-prepare-for-a-day-when-another-might-ha/\">for the day ICE agents show up\u003c/a>. Others contemplate or have taken steps to return to their homeland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet for all the felt fear and life-changing decisions families are making, this is not the first time that immigration agents have cracked down on those lacking permission to reside in this country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the George W. Bush administration sent ICE agents to arrest immigrants with outstanding deportation orders. ICE \u003ca href=\"http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sdut-1n18immig211029-immigration-agents-casting-their-n-2009jan18-htmlstory.html\">\"fugitive operations\" teams \u003c/a>were sent to people's homes in the early morning hours. On many occasions, bystanders who were not being sought but were in the country illegally were also arrested. ICE called these \u003ca href=\"http://www.migrationpolicy.org/research/ice-fugitive-operations-program\">collateral\u003c/a> arrests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"vURfpyMT3dzLNYPfCVBV7WtmpnUI4H8N\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More recently, the Obama administration deported record numbers of immigrants. In fiscal years 2012 through 2014, \u003ca href=\"https://www.dhs.gov/immigration-statistics/yearbook/2015/table39\">more than 400,000 deportations\u003c/a> took place each year, according to U.S. Department of Homeland Security statistics. A record 434,015 immigrants were removed from the U.S. in fiscal year 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So why does the fear seem heightened in the wake of Trump's election?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doris Meissner, former commissioner of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service under President Clinton, says enforcement policies have gotten stricter. INS preceded the Department of Homeland Security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The [Trump] guidelines say that everybody who is in the country without a legal status is subject to deportation from the country,\" said Meissner, now a senior policy fellow at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.migrationpolicy.org/\">Migration Policy Institute\u003c/a> in Washington, D.C.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said the Trump executive order rolls back protections initiated in the later Obama years, directing immigration agents to focus on immigrants convicted of serious crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said while those with criminal records remain priority targets under Trump, agents have more discretion to arrest others deemed deportable, even if their sole charge is living in the country without legal status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's still not clear to what extent deportation numbers could change under Trump's executive order. \"We don't really know how much of a difference it will actually make,\" Meissner said. \"It is too soon to tell.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What does seem likely, she said, is there will be more collateral arrests than occurred in prior administrations, and more arrests of immigrants living in the U.S. illegally who don’t have criminal records.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Rumors, Rhetoric and Reality\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Such arrests essentially return enforcement to where it stood in the late 2000s. But a decade ago, arrests rarely made the national news. Now, cases of an \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/02/09/514299631/after-years-of-uneventful-check-ins-arizona-woman-is-arrested-faces-deportation\">immigrant suddenly deported\u003c/a> or an arrest of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2017/02/15/69100/worries-heightened-in-socal-after-arrest-of-daca-r/\">Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) participant\u003c/a> granted temporary residency can turn into a cause célèbre.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alex Nogales, director of the media watchdog group National Hispanic Media Coalition, has a theory about why this is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"DZQXOb5HmGTj7ObYu9NNYqZfSG7jeuc8\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What is so different now than it was 10 years ago, five years ago? ... [It's] that the talk is out there, day in, day out,\" Nogales said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While past administrations carried out tough enforcement, too, they did not engage in the same harsh rhetoric that Trump has employed since \u003ca href=\"http://www.usatoday.com/videos/news/2015/06/25/29292957/\">his campaign\u003c/a>. His vow to deport millions of undocumented immigrants appealed to his supporters, and that promise is now making its way into his enforcement policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know, when you have that kind of a toxic environment, of course people are going to talk about it. Of course people are going to report on it,\" Nogales said. \"Of course there is going to be a lot more action and activity and fear.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contributing to the heightened reaction are immigrant advocates who have stepped up their activity in response to Trump's enforcement policies, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some reports of ICE activity that are circulated — not just by advocates but by concerned residents via social media — have turned out to be inaccurate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You kind of get this flurry of calls from friends, like, 'I saw on Facebook that there's this checkpoint over here,' \" said Erick Huerta, a Boyle Heights community activist who grew up undocumented in the U.S. and has temporary protection from deportation under DACA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In January, the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles said witnesses told them there were \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2016/01/08/56716/weekend-immigration-raids-prompting-fear-and-rumor/\">workplace arrests in Chino\u003c/a>. But ICE officials said they made no arrests there on the day cited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE agents did announce the \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2017/02/10/68963/ice-announce-160-arrests-in-socal-as-part-of-surge/\">arrests in Southern California\u003c/a> of about 160 immigrants in February, describing the \"enforcement surge\" as part of the agency's periodic operations. However, reports at the time of ICE checkpoints and random sweeps were dismissed by David Marin, field office director for enforcement and removal operations in the Los Angeles area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"T40DrnHovNTjzMKUj95IZQY1ETlL6MWs\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marin called the information \"definitely dangerous and irresponsible because reports like that create a panic, and they put communities and law enforcement at risk,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Decisions in a Fraught Climate\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In this atmosphere, people are basing decisions about their lives on information that may not be true or to their best advantage, said Alejandra Cano, a representative of Mexico's national immigration service, the Instituto Nacional de Migración.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cano, who works at the Mexican Consulate in Los Angeles, has seen the effects of this superheated climate. She coordinates a program through Mexico's immigration service called \"Somos Mexicanos,\" or Spanish for \"We are Mexican.\" The program assists Mexicans who are returning home, both voluntarily and because of deportations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cano said that since January, 77 Southern California families have sought help to move back to Mexico. Most have U.S.-born children, and seven have already left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lately, she has seen a marked difference in the reasons people give in explaining why they want to leave the U.S..\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Before ... the reason was because they wanted to retire in Mexico,\" Cano said. \"And now, the people feel afraid.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"A6Nge2OXnIIjOpo6VuNABImWek37RAq8\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cano said she tries to reason with them. She asks them if they have a criminal record or a deportation order. If they don’t, she tells them there is no cause to rush out of the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She points out that in the first three months of this year, Mexico has received fewer deportees than in the same period a year ago, when Obama was in office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The difference now is the message that this administration is sending to everybody, and the fear in everybody,\" Cano said. \"That fear is making people take decisions they shouldn’t take.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One result of the heightened awareness of deportation cases is that those arrested — like Romulo Avelica Gonzalez — are attracting more support than they might have before Trump took office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Avelica was arrested, administrators at his daughter's school quickly spread the word and immigration activists mobilized an effort to stop his deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It has worked so far — Avelica is still in detention, but not yet deported. Lawyers are working to keep him in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel like now, with the presidency, I feel like immigration is maybe a little bigger now, and maybe it’s talked about more,\" said Avelica's daughter, Brenda. \"So maybe it is getting more attention now than before.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She's hoping, with the widespread attention he's been receiving, her father will eventually be released.\u003c/p>\n\n",

But they did confirm he would have been a priority for arrest even under the Obama administration's guidelines: According to the immigration agency, Avelica had a 2014 deportation order and a minor criminal record, including a DUI dating back to 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brenda Avelica said after the 2015 visit, the family took precautions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We lived paranoid, like scared,\" she said. \"We didn’t have a gate in the back, so we put in a big gate with a lock. We had one dog, but we got another dog, for guarding purposes … my dad didn’t go to the store by himself after that anymore. Somebody went with him, just to be a witness, or in case something like that was going to happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said it took months before the family relaxed and let down its guard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We started living normally again,\" Brenda Avelica said. \"But it was always in the back of our heads. I don't think there was a day that we weren't ... thinking that maybe it could happen.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What's Different Now\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Many immigrant families with members in the U.S illegally are living with similar fears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the Trump administration signed an executive order in January establishing a policy of strict enforcement against unauthorized immigrants, arrests have made frequent headlines. Some immigrants have \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2017/03/20/69948/fearing-immigration-crackdown-some-go-into-hiding/\">gone into hiding\u003c/a> or are preparing \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2017/03/21/69950/immigrants-prepare-for-a-day-when-another-might-ha/\">for the day ICE agents show up\u003c/a>. Others contemplate or have taken steps to return to their homeland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet for all the felt fear and life-changing decisions families are making, this is not the first time that immigration agents have cracked down on those lacking permission to reside in this country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the George W. Bush administration sent ICE agents to arrest immigrants with outstanding deportation orders. ICE \u003ca href=\"http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sdut-1n18immig211029-immigration-agents-casting-their-n-2009jan18-htmlstory.html\">\"fugitive operations\" teams \u003c/a>were sent to people's homes in the early morning hours. On many occasions, bystanders who were not being sought but were in the country illegally were also arrested. ICE called these \u003ca href=\"http://www.migrationpolicy.org/research/ice-fugitive-operations-program\">collateral\u003c/a> arrests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More recently, the Obama administration deported record numbers of immigrants. In fiscal years 2012 through 2014, \u003ca href=\"https://www.dhs.gov/immigration-statistics/yearbook/2015/table39\">more than 400,000 deportations\u003c/a> took place each year, according to U.S. Department of Homeland Security statistics. A record 434,015 immigrants were removed from the U.S. in fiscal year 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So why does the fear seem heightened in the wake of Trump's election?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doris Meissner, former commissioner of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service under President Clinton, says enforcement policies have gotten stricter. INS preceded the Department of Homeland Security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The [Trump] guidelines say that everybody who is in the country without a legal status is subject to deportation from the country,\" said Meissner, now a senior policy fellow at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.migrationpolicy.org/\">Migration Policy Institute\u003c/a> in Washington, D.C.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said the Trump executive order rolls back protections initiated in the later Obama years, directing immigration agents to focus on immigrants convicted of serious crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said while those with criminal records remain priority targets under Trump, agents have more discretion to arrest others deemed deportable, even if their sole charge is living in the country without legal status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's still not clear to what extent deportation numbers could change under Trump's executive order. \"We don't really know how much of a difference it will actually make,\" Meissner said. \"It is too soon to tell.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What does seem likely, she said, is there will be more collateral arrests than occurred in prior administrations, and more arrests of immigrants living in the U.S. illegally who don’t have criminal records.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Rumors, Rhetoric and Reality\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Such arrests essentially return enforcement to where it stood in the late 2000s. But a decade ago, arrests rarely made the national news. Now, cases of an \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/02/09/514299631/after-years-of-uneventful-check-ins-arizona-woman-is-arrested-faces-deportation\">immigrant suddenly deported\u003c/a> or an arrest of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2017/02/15/69100/worries-heightened-in-socal-after-arrest-of-daca-r/\">Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) participant\u003c/a> granted temporary residency can turn into a cause célèbre.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alex Nogales, director of the media watchdog group National Hispanic Media Coalition, has a theory about why this is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What is so different now than it was 10 years ago, five years ago? ... [It's] that the talk is out there, day in, day out,\" Nogales said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While past administrations carried out tough enforcement, too, they did not engage in the same harsh rhetoric that Trump has employed since \u003ca href=\"http://www.usatoday.com/videos/news/2015/06/25/29292957/\">his campaign\u003c/a>. His vow to deport millions of undocumented immigrants appealed to his supporters, and that promise is now making its way into his enforcement policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know, when you have that kind of a toxic environment, of course people are going to talk about it. Of course people are going to report on it,\" Nogales said. \"Of course there is going to be a lot more action and activity and fear.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contributing to the heightened reaction are immigrant advocates who have stepped up their activity in response to Trump's enforcement policies, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some reports of ICE activity that are circulated — not just by advocates but by concerned residents via social media — have turned out to be inaccurate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You kind of get this flurry of calls from friends, like, 'I saw on Facebook that there's this checkpoint over here,' \" said Erick Huerta, a Boyle Heights community activist who grew up undocumented in the U.S. and has temporary protection from deportation under DACA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In January, the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles said witnesses told them there were \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2016/01/08/56716/weekend-immigration-raids-prompting-fear-and-rumor/\">workplace arrests in Chino\u003c/a>. But ICE officials said they made no arrests there on the day cited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE agents did announce the \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2017/02/10/68963/ice-announce-160-arrests-in-socal-as-part-of-surge/\">arrests in Southern California\u003c/a> of about 160 immigrants in February, describing the \"enforcement surge\" as part of the agency's periodic operations. However, reports at the time of ICE checkpoints and random sweeps were dismissed by David Marin, field office director for enforcement and removal operations in the Los Angeles area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marin called the information \"definitely dangerous and irresponsible because reports like that create a panic, and they put communities and law enforcement at risk,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Decisions in a Fraught Climate\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In this atmosphere, people are basing decisions about their lives on information that may not be true or to their best advantage, said Alejandra Cano, a representative of Mexico's national immigration service, the Instituto Nacional de Migración.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cano, who works at the Mexican Consulate in Los Angeles, has seen the effects of this superheated climate. She coordinates a program through Mexico's immigration service called \"Somos Mexicanos,\" or Spanish for \"We are Mexican.\" The program assists Mexicans who are returning home, both voluntarily and because of deportations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cano said that since January, 77 Southern California families have sought help to move back to Mexico. Most have U.S.-born children, and seven have already left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lately, she has seen a marked difference in the reasons people give in explaining why they want to leave the U.S..\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Before ... the reason was because they wanted to retire in Mexico,\" Cano said. \"And now, the people feel afraid.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cano said she tries to reason with them. She asks them if they have a criminal record or a deportation order. If they don’t, she tells them there is no cause to rush out of the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She points out that in the first three months of this year, Mexico has received fewer deportees than in the same period a year ago, when Obama was in office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The difference now is the message that this administration is sending to everybody, and the fear in everybody,\" Cano said. \"That fear is making people take decisions they shouldn’t take.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One result of the heightened awareness of deportation cases is that those arrested — like Romulo Avelica Gonzalez — are attracting more support than they might have before Trump took office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Avelica was arrested, administrators at his daughter's school quickly spread the word and immigration activists mobilized an effort to stop his deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It has worked so far — Avelica is still in detention, but not yet deported. Lawyers are working to keep him in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel like now, with the presidency, I feel like immigration is maybe a little bigger now, and maybe it’s talked about more,\" said Avelica's daughter, Brenda. \"So maybe it is getting more attention now than before.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
