The event drew around 300 attendees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A few weeks ago, ICE did a raid in Southern California of 240 people -- that was under your jurisdiction,” Valenciano can be heard telling Johnson in the video, referring to \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-240-immigrants-arrested-ice-20150831-story.html\">a four-day sweep in late August that was covered by the Los Angeles Times\u003c/a>. “Why do you continue to violate the Fourth Amendment rights of immigrants?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Are you done?” Johnson asks in response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am not done,” Valenciano shoots back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was joined by several others affiliated with her group, a statewide coalition of immigrant youth organizations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She later said in an interview that the coalition had repeatedly contacted the Department of Homeland Security to seek clarity on the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/pep\" target=\"_blank\">Priority Enforcement Program\u003c/a> -- a new system for local and state law enforcement to partner with federal immigration officials. The program, sometimes referred to as PEP-Comm, was announced last November to replace the controversial Secure Communities Program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to her comments, Johnson said the Secure Communities Program \"created a lot of legal and political controversy, because that program was rounding up people based on mere warrants, and not convictions.

So, we’ve ended the Secure Communities Program ...”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Valenciano interrupted him again, saying, “No, you have recreated it through the PEP-Comm program.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I disagree,” Johnson replied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valenciano continued venting loudly about deportation policies until she was escorted out by campus guards. “Don’t do that,” Johnson told them initially. “Let her stay.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The disruption continued, though, and she was ultimately removed from the venue while protesters outside the forum banged on doors, chanting, “Shut down ICE! Shut Down ICE!” Valenciano later said the purpose was to let the DHS chief know that “the community is going to push back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Secure Communities began in 2008 as a collaboration between ICE and local law enforcement agencies, to facilitate deportation of individuals arrested for crimes. In November, President Barack Obama issued a directive \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/immigration-2/obamas-immigration-plan-includes-end-to-secure-communities/\">to end the controversial program\u003c/a>. Activists have stressed that deportations can separate families and cause upheaval in individuals' lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under ICE's PEP program, fingerprints of individuals booked for criminal violations are automatically sent to the FBI for criminal history and warrant checks; that biometric data is simultaneously sent to ICE. If ICE deems the individual to be a “priority for removal” based on these records, they can ask the local law enforcement agency to notify them before releasing the individual from custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But immigrant rights organizations say PEP contains similar pitfalls to Secure Communities. In a \u003ca href=\"http://www.caimmigrant.org/groups-celebrate-s-comm-end/\" target=\"_blank\">statement \u003c/a>issued just after the new program was announced, the California Immigrant Policy Center said that under the new system, “some immigrants will be transferred into ICE custody after contact with local police, and therefore many immigrant communities will still fear reporting crime to local police.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue of police cooperation with immigration authorities has been a topic of debate in recent months, following the July 1 \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/07/07/mirkarimi-immigration-authorities-trade-blame-in-pier-14-shooting\" target=\"_blank\">shooting death of Kate Steinle\u003c/a> on San Francisco’s Pier 14.

Its homicide rate is about 25 times higher than in Los Angeles.

He’d approved several in recent weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco attorney Zach Nightingale has represented a number of clients who have tied the knot in ICE detention. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Unfortunately, sometimes it’s in a visiting room where it’s through a glass partition,” says Nightingale. “I’ve seen them done sometimes in a courtroom setting. Usually it’s a free space that they have.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are strict guidelines for in-detention marriages. ICE reviews the case and, if approved, gives the warden the OK.

There were just four people in Yu Wang’s wedding party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At that time my wife, my attorney and the pastor,” says Wang.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Chinese national got picked up by immigration authorities two years ago after overstaying a student visa. He was studying massage therapy. He’d also fallen in love with an American woman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The couple had no immediate plans to marry. Wang’s detention changed that. While being held at an ICE facility near San Diego he applied for an in-custody marriage. According to ICE guidelines, detainees should get a response within 30 days. Wang says he heard nothing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I pushed ICE and filled out the application,” says Wang. “And after two or three months, there is no response. That is why we used (a different) procedure”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10140880\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/09/ICEOfficer.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/09/ICEOfficer-400x429.jpg\" alt=\"An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer guards a group of immigrants waiting to be deported.

(Jose CABEZAS/AFP/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>With deportation looming, Wang’s attorney, Brian Jiang, found an outside pastor to come to the facility and discreetly conduct the ceremony during regular visiting hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As long as the pastor is authorized to perform ceremonies and as long as he saw two people together, that is all he needed,” says Jiang.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you wanted to have it done inside the detention center by their own chaplain, once someone in the chain of command says ‘no,’ then it’s not going to happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are lots of reasons for wanting to go to such lengths to get married while in ICE detention. There is, of course, the most obvious; love. And if you marry a U.S. citizen, you can stay in the U.S … right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That is certainly a drastic overstatement of the law,” says attorney Zach Nightingale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, in some cases marriage may provide a shield from deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Immigration law revolves around a key concept of family unification,” explains Nightingale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And so, if a U.S. citizen marries a spouse, they can generally apply to sponsor that spouse to be granted lawful permanent residence, otherwise known as a green card.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Someone like Yu Wang, for example, who overstayed a visa, could be eligible for a green card.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney Christina Lee tells us about another man, a former client. We’ll call him Roberto. He came to the U.S. from Mexico as a tourist with his family when he was a child — and overstayed his visa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roberto, now in his early 30s, got picked up by authorities over alleged gang ties. He was never charged. But his expired visa was exposed and he was detained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was living with his girlfriend and they were planning on getting married and actually inviting family members and having it in a church,” says Lee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Unfortunately, he was detained, so his marriage was the key to his case.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because Roberto, like Yu Wang, entered the U.S. legally, he could apply for an adjustment of status upon marrying. So he and his wife were wed while he was in immigration detention. But a honeymoon would have to wait. It took another seven months before Roberto was granted a green card and released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> “The marriage is only the very first step because then, after they got married, immigration is going to look at whether or not this marriage is a real marriage or not,” says Lee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So then I had to document all this evidence to show that this is client that’s been in this relationship for years and they planned on getting married at some point, maybe not this soon.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roberto is now living with his wife in Arizona. Christina Lee says such “happy endings” are rare. Most people facing deportation crossed into the U.S. without a visa. That means they can’t get legal by getting married.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And I’m all for love,” laughs Lee. But in most cases she’s leery of assisting a detainee get married while in custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If I thought legally it was a tool that would add to their case, I would definitely do it,” says Lee. “But usually they are in there for some kind of violation, and so merely getting married would not always add a benefit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yu Wang was released from detention after being wed. But before papers could be filed and approved to adjust his legal status to that of a permanent resident, he was detained again by ICE in San Francisco and deported back to China.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oh my gosh, this is horrible actually,” says Wang by phone from his home in central China.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m (the sole) supporter. If I am deported there are no other people who can support my daughter and my wife. I don’t know how long (until) I will return back to America.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It could be a very long time. Now that he’s outside the U.S., Wang faces an enormous hurdle: a 10-year bar for re-entry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The only way to avoid that is to secure a waiver by convincing authorities that his wife will suffer extreme and unusual hardship if he is not allowed to return.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s a claim that even Wang’s own attorney says could be very difficult to prove with or without a wedding ring.\u003c/p>\n\n",

There were just four people in Yu Wang’s wedding party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At that time my wife, my attorney and the pastor,” says Wang.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Chinese national got picked up by immigration authorities two years ago after overstaying a student visa. He was studying massage therapy. He’d also fallen in love with an American woman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The couple had no immediate plans to marry. Wang’s detention changed that. While being held at an ICE facility near San Diego he applied for an in-custody marriage. According to ICE guidelines, detainees should get a response within 30 days. Wang says he heard nothing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I pushed ICE and filled out the application,” says Wang. “And after two or three months, there is no response. That is why we used (a different) procedure”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10140880\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/09/ICEOfficer.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/09/ICEOfficer-400x429.jpg\" alt=\"An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer guards a group of immigrants waiting to be deported.

There is, of course, the most obvious; love. And if you marry a U.S. citizen, you can stay in the U.S … right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That is certainly a drastic overstatement of the law,” says attorney Zach Nightingale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, in some cases marriage may provide a shield from deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Immigration law revolves around a key concept of family unification,” explains Nightingale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And so, if a U.S. citizen marries a spouse, they can generally apply to sponsor that spouse to be granted lawful permanent residence, otherwise known as a green card.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Someone like Yu Wang, for example, who overstayed a visa, could be eligible for a green card.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney Christina Lee tells us about another man, a former client. We’ll call him Roberto. He came to the U.S. from Mexico as a tourist with his family when he was a child — and overstayed his visa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roberto, now in his early 30s, got picked up by authorities over alleged gang ties. He was never charged. But his expired visa was exposed and he was detained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was living with his girlfriend and they were planning on getting married and actually inviting family members and having it in a church,” says Lee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Unfortunately, he was detained, so his marriage was the key to his case.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because Roberto, like Yu Wang, entered the U.S. legally, he could apply for an adjustment of status upon marrying. So he and his wife were wed while he was in immigration detention. But a honeymoon would have to wait. It took another seven months before Roberto was granted a green card and released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> “The marriage is only the very first step because then, after they got married, immigration is going to look at whether or not this marriage is a real marriage or not,” says Lee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So then I had to document all this evidence to show that this is client that’s been in this relationship for years and they planned on getting married at some point, maybe not this soon.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roberto is now living with his wife in Arizona. Christina Lee says such “happy endings” are rare. Most people facing deportation crossed into the U.S. without a visa. That means they can’t get legal by getting married.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And I’m all for love,” laughs Lee. But in most cases she’s leery of assisting a detainee get married while in custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If I thought legally it was a tool that would add to their case, I would definitely do it,” says Lee. “But usually they are in there for some kind of violation, and so merely getting married would not always add a benefit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yu Wang was released from detention after being wed. But before papers could be filed and approved to adjust his legal status to that of a permanent resident, he was detained again by ICE in San Francisco and deported back to China.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oh my gosh, this is horrible actually,” says Wang by phone from his home in central China.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m (the sole) supporter. If I am deported there are no other people who can support my daughter and my wife. I don’t know how long (until) I will return back to America.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It could be a very long time. Now that he’s outside the U.S., Wang faces an enormous hurdle: a 10-year bar for re-entry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The only way to avoid that is to secure a waiver by convincing authorities that his wife will suffer extreme and unusual hardship if he is not allowed to return.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The program requires local police to check the immigration status of arrested suspects by running their fingerprints against a centralized federal database. ICE requires even non-criminal arrestees to be detained if their status is in question. The program has been controversial because it has contributed to the deportation of thousands of non-criminals, as reported by the Los Angeles Times and others. Furthermore, San Francisco considers itself a \u003ca href=\"http://www.sf311.org/index.aspx?page=543\">sanctuary city\u003c/a>, having passed an ordinance that prohibits local law enforcement from this type of cooperation with immigration authorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, the California Assembly's Public Safety Committee passed AB 1081, also known as The TRUST Act.

The Examiner reports that 111 inmates were detained for deportation between last June and February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE spokeswoman Virginia Kice told the newspaper that Hennessey's decision was unfortunate. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfexaminer.com/local/2011/05/san-francisco-county-jail-won-t-hold-inmates-ice\">Examiner\u003c/a> has more details, including the following: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The new policy, set to begin June 1, means illegal immigrants arrested for petty crimes such as disorderly conduct, drunk in public or shoplifting will not be held in jail until U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials come to collect them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco would become the first county in California to implement such a policy, he said.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\nThe ICE program in dispute is called \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/04/29/what-is-immigration-and-customs-secure-communities-and-ab-1081/\">Secure Communities\u003c/a>. The program requires local police to check the immigration status of arrested suspects by running their fingerprints against a centralized federal database. ICE requires even non-criminal arrestees to be detained if their status is in question. The program has been controversial because it has contributed to the deportation of thousands of non-criminals, as reported by the Los Angeles Times and others. Furthermore, San Francisco considers itself a \u003ca href=\"http://www.sf311.org/index.aspx?page=543\">sanctuary city\u003c/a>, having passed an ordinance that prohibits local law enforcement from this type of cooperation with immigration authorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, the California Assembly's Public Safety Committee passed AB 1081, also known as The TRUST Act.

When the system makes a match, officers learn a suspect’s entire documented immigration history. They also learn whether ICE wants to place a “hold” on the suspect, which requires the police agency to detain the individual until immigration agents can take custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To supporters of increased local immigration enforcement, the program is nothing more than a database at the jails, and does not encourage profiling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though still new, Secure Communities helped catch many thousands of illegal immigrants across California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2009, local law enforcement in California has turned over 71,918 illegal immigrants to ICE through the program, according to federal data. Of those, 35,643 were removed from the United States.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Sheriff Michael Hennessy, a critic of the program, testified at the hearing that the city was originally \u003ca href=\"http://www.fogcityjournal.com/wordpress/2323/ice-confirms-s-comm-is-a-voluntary-program/\">told\u003c/a> it could opt out before being told it couldn't. Today's \u003ca href=\"http://www.baycitizen.org/immigration/story/ice-gave-conflicting-info-fingerprint/\">Bay Citizen\u003c/a> reports that \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Communities#Voluntary_v._Mandatory\">conflicting information\u003c/a> on the legality of opting out was sent in hundreds of emails from ICE staff to local law enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yesterday, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said that local governments \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/04/26/BAOG1J74HV.DTL&type=newsbayarea\">cannot \"exclude themselves\"\u003c/a> from the program. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
