Lesly Rodriguez Gutierrez, 28, and her two sons, who are 4 and 6 years old, were arrested on Tuesday as she attended a routine asylum check-in appointment in the city, \u003ca href=\"https://www.cde.ca.gov/nr/ne/yr26/yr26rel11.asp\">state Superintendent Tony Thurmond\u003c/a> said during a news conference on Friday. He said at the time of their detention, the 6-year-old, who is deaf, did not have his hearing aids and remains without access to necessary medical devices. “We are calling for the immediate return of this young man and his family,” Thurmond said. “This is a student who needs access to medical devices, hearing aids, and he needs to be in a program where he can receive support and care — not in some detention center, not in some cell living in squalor and poor conditions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nikolas De Bremaeker, an attorney with Centro Legal De La Raza, said that in the days since their arrest, advocates have been trying to locate the family and have been misled about their whereabouts by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials. “We were told at every point that the family was at a different location, and even up to last night when I spoke with ICE, they told me a different location than where they actually were,” he told reporters. “This is no way for a democracy to work.

Gutierrez migrated to the U.S from Colombia four years ago. She had no criminal record, according to De Bremaeker. De Bremaeker said that when they were arrested, another family member was located outside of the ICE office on 478 Tehama St. in San Francisco with the medical equipment that Rodriguez Gutierrez’s son needed, but was prevented from delivering it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s inhumane, it’s illegal, and it’s unconstitutional for this to happen,” he said Friday, adding that sign language in Colombia is different from the American Sign Language that the young student had been learning here. The child attends the California School for the Deaf in Fremont, and had been home sick on Tuesday. “It’s incredibly cruel to rip a child, as they are thriving and not only using the assistive devices that they need … out of this incredibly brave and strong progress that he has made,” De Bremaeker said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"ArticlePage-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kpbs.org/news/politics/2026/03/06/desmond-files-to-run-in-congressional-district-held-by-issa\">\u003cstrong>Issa to retire, endorses Desmond to succeed him in 48th Congressional District\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Congressman Darrell Issa (R-Alpine) announced late Friday he will retire at the end of this term. “This decision has been on my mind for a while and I didn’t make it lightly,” Issa said in a statement. “Today I’m announcing my enthusiastic endorsement of Supervisor Jim Desmond for Congress – to represent California’s new 48th district.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier on Friday, San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond withdrew as a candidate from the race for the 49th Congressional District seat.

As the arrest was unfolding, she ran to the bathroom, threw his prescriptions in a plastic bag and handed them to an officer.[aside postID=news_12073728 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/260218-George-Retes-01-KQED.jpg']Ulises said officers drove him to a nearby alley and beat him again, his hands still cuffed behind his back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I thought they were going to kill me,” he said. “Suddenly, I couldn’t feel anything. I couldn’t see anything.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He came to with an officer pressing on his chest, performing CPR. He heard another man call an ambulance. The next thing he knew, he was in the hospital, hooked up to tubes and wires and handcuffed to the bed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE’s arrest report tells the story differently. There’s no mention of officers striking Ulises. The report said they handcuffed him without incident, but once he was in the ICE vehicle, Ulises told them he had a heart condition and “appeared to be panicking.” They gave him a pill from one of the prescription bottles, but he started coughing and spitting out pill fragments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE said Ulises threw up a red substance and began convulsing, at which point officers uncuffed him and laid him on the ground. He began “violently coughing up phlegm and grabbing his chest,” ICE said. When he lost consciousness, they performed chest compressions until an ambulance arrived, the report said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE did not reply to requests for comment for this story. Last year, shortly after the arrest, ICE \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12028303/ice-arrest-left-bay-area-man-hospitalized-struggling-breathe-attorney-says\">responded\u003c/a> to KQED and denied mistreating Ulises.

Likewise, she said, ICE prevented him from speaking privately with doctors or his wife.

But the little girl who used to sleep peacefully now wakes up screaming nightly. She’s fearful of strangers and jumpy when a car door slams. A year on, she is still replaying the event in her mind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We did a video call just two days ago, and my daughter asked, ‘Papi, are the men going to come back and hit you again? Does it still hurt?’” Ulises said. “That just broke me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The dislocation in Emily’s life only compounded after her father’s arrest. Aby, 32, who’d been a stay-at-home mom, had to go back to work as a licensed vocational nurse. Needing child care on an unpredictable schedule, she moved Emily in with her parents in Chico. Aby typically works three 14-hour shifts, then drives the four hours north to spend a couple of days with her daughter before starting the work week again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She doesn’t have me or her dad nearby now,” Aby said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The arrangement runs counter to therapists’ suggestion that Emily’s recovery depends on a predictable routine, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She’s always having to say goodbye,” Aby said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Aby is home in Sunnyvale, the apartment feels empty. Her daughter’s closet is still full of toys and small pink dresses. Her husband’s watch is still on his nightstand, his razor in the bathroom – comforting reminders of the life they used to share.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pair met a decade ago when she went to a restaurant where he was working. She was in nursing school, and he was training with the carpenters’ union. She admired that he was a hard worker and was happy to find that he loved to cook. When Emily was born, and Aby was recovering from a difficult pregnancy, Ulises soothed the baby to sleep on his chest.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The future\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Ulises was 18 when he came to the U.S. in 2013. According to his appeal to the Ninth Circuit, he was fleeing the Jalisco Cartel after its members extorted his family and beat him, then — when he reported it to the police — murdered his uncle and cousins. Lawyer Priya Patel, with the California Collaborative for Immigrant Justice, believes Ulises should have been considered for asylum at the time. Instead, he was swiftly deported under an expedited removal order. He crossed the border again, undetected, came to the Bay Area and built a life, unaware of that deportation order or the fact that it could be reinstated at any time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal documents show that early last year, ICE’s Law Enforcement Support Center flagged Ulises’ whereabouts for the San Francisco field office. The ICE arrest report mentions several misdemeanor convictions from his 20s. The most serious is a 2019 assault. Patel said Ulises pleaded no contest, following a verbal fight with his wife after he’d been out drinking. He was given a suspended sentence, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12074618\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12074618\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/260219-SUNNYVALEDEPORTED-02-BL-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/260219-SUNNYVALEDEPORTED-02-BL-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/260219-SUNNYVALEDEPORTED-02-BL-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/260219-SUNNYVALEDEPORTED-02-BL-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aby Peña speaks by phone with her husband, Ulises Peña Lopez, from their home in Sunnyvale on Feb. 19, 2026.

She wonders if she should move to Chico to be with Emily. And then she wonders if she and Emily should move to Mexico to be with Ulises — though he doesn’t want his daughter to grow up there.

And both agree, their prime motivation is ensuring Emily gets well and has a bright future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Whenever I call them, I can hear their smiles,” Ulises said. “I know what it means to be a parent: Your children are the engine that drives you, and you never give up.

There’s no mention of officers striking Ulises. The report said they handcuffed him without incident, but once he was in the ICE vehicle, Ulises told them he had a heart condition and “appeared to be panicking.” They gave him a pill from one of the prescription bottles, but he started coughing and spitting out pill fragments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE said Ulises threw up a red substance and began convulsing, at which point officers uncuffed him and laid him on the ground. He began “violently coughing up phlegm and grabbing his chest,” ICE said. When he lost consciousness, they performed chest compressions until an ambulance arrived, the report said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE did not reply to requests for comment for this story. Last year, shortly after the arrest, ICE \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12028303/ice-arrest-left-bay-area-man-hospitalized-struggling-breathe-attorney-says\">responded\u003c/a> to KQED and denied mistreating Ulises.

Likewise, she said, ICE prevented him from speaking privately with doctors or his wife. When Aby was finally allowed 30 minutes with him the next morning, ICE officers took her cellphone away so she couldn’t photograph him, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Soon after, Ulises was transported to Golden State Annex, a privately run immigration jail in northern Kern County, where his lawyers say he didn’t receive consistent medication or meaningful follow-up care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12074623\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12074623\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/260219-SUNNYVALEDEPORTED-14-BL-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/260219-SUNNYVALEDEPORTED-14-BL-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/260219-SUNNYVALEDEPORTED-14-BL-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/260219-SUNNYVALEDEPORTED-14-BL-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Family photos hang on the wall at Aby Peña and Ulises Peña Lopez’s home in Sunnyvale on Feb. 19, 2026.

But the little girl who used to sleep peacefully now wakes up screaming nightly. She’s fearful of strangers and jumpy when a car door slams. A year on, she is still replaying the event in her mind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We did a video call just two days ago, and my daughter asked, ‘Papi, are the men going to come back and hit you again? Does it still hurt?’” Ulises said. “That just broke me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The dislocation in Emily’s life only compounded after her father’s arrest. Aby, 32, who’d been a stay-at-home mom, had to go back to work as a licensed vocational nurse. Needing child care on an unpredictable schedule, she moved Emily in with her parents in Chico. Aby typically works three 14-hour shifts, then drives the four hours north to spend a couple of days with her daughter before starting the work week again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She doesn’t have me or her dad nearby now,” Aby said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The arrangement runs counter to therapists’ suggestion that Emily’s recovery depends on a predictable routine, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She’s always having to say goodbye,” Aby said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Aby is home in Sunnyvale, the apartment feels empty. Her daughter’s closet is still full of toys and small pink dresses. Her husband’s watch is still on his nightstand, his razor in the bathroom – comforting reminders of the life they used to share.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pair met a decade ago when she went to a restaurant where he was working. She was in nursing school, and he was training with the carpenters’ union. She admired that he was a hard worker and was happy to find that he loved to cook. When Emily was born, and Aby was recovering from a difficult pregnancy, Ulises soothed the baby to sleep on his chest.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The future\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Ulises was 18 when he came to the U.S. in 2013. According to his appeal to the Ninth Circuit, he was fleeing the Jalisco Cartel after its members extorted his family and beat him, then — when he reported it to the police — murdered his uncle and cousins. Lawyer Priya Patel, with the California Collaborative for Immigrant Justice, believes Ulises should have been considered for asylum at the time. Instead, he was swiftly deported under an expedited removal order. He crossed the border again, undetected, came to the Bay Area and built a life, unaware of that deportation order or the fact that it could be reinstated at any time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal documents show that early last year, ICE’s Law Enforcement Support Center flagged Ulises’ whereabouts for the San Francisco field office. The ICE arrest report mentions several misdemeanor convictions from his 20s. The most serious is a 2019 assault. Patel said Ulises pleaded no contest, following a verbal fight with his wife after he’d been out drinking. He was given a suspended sentence, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12074618\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12074618\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/260219-SUNNYVALEDEPORTED-02-BL-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/260219-SUNNYVALEDEPORTED-02-BL-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/260219-SUNNYVALEDEPORTED-02-BL-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/260219-SUNNYVALEDEPORTED-02-BL-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aby Peña speaks by phone with her husband, Ulises Peña Lopez, from their home in Sunnyvale on Feb. 19, 2026.

Among their demands: a ban on masking by federal agents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener said that while constitutional experts had advised him that SB 627 would pass constitutional muster even without including state law enforcement, he respects the court’s contrary stance. Wiener said he believes there will be support in the California Legislature to add state law enforcement back in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are in a very different world right now than we were in the summer of 2025,” he said. “Things were bad last year, but they have only gotten worse since then, particularly given what happened in Minneapolis.”[aside postID=news_12058936 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/BorderPatrolAgentsGetty.jpg']He continued: “People do not want masked law enforcement in their communities, people want to be able to see who is patrolling their communities, people understand that if ICE and any other law enforcement wear ski masks, that creates an atmosphere of impunity and terror, and prevents accountability.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s not clear if Newsom would sign such a bill. In response to the ruling, his press office \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/govpressoffice/status/2021016512677675504?s=46\">wrote\u003c/a> on social media, “Mr. Wiener rejected our proposed fixes to his bill — language that was later included in the identification bill the court upheld today.

To the contrary, she added later, the “presence of masked and unidentifiable individuals, including law enforcement, is more likely to heighten the sense of insecurity for all.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in a clear rebuke to statements made by \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12070101/california-prosecutors-push-back-on-ice-immunity-claims\">Vice President JD Vance and others\u003c/a> after the Minneapolis shootings, Snyder noted that, “The law is clear that federal officers do not have absolute immunity from state prosecution.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Among the things Democrats are demanding: a ban on face masks for ICE officers; a requirement to obtain judicial warrants before taking people out of their homes, cars or workplaces; an explicit prohibition on ICE detaining or deporting U.S. citizens; and guarantees of independent, transparent investigations into excessive use of force by ICE agents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Noem already announced this week that DHS field officers, including ICE, would have body cameras, starting with those in Minnesota, another demand by Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And earlier Wednesday, Tom Homan, Trump’s “border czar,” who was sent to Minnesota after the killing of ICU nurse Alex Pretti by federal agents, said 700 immigration agents would be pulled from Minnesota, leaving about 2,000 federal officers in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The controversy comes as the NFL is expanding its footprint internationally, with nine games planned for outside the U.S next season. At a press event this week, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said, “We have a really big announcement from my standpoint, [which] is we’re heading back to Mexico City in December, which I think is wonderful for our fans in Mexico.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goodell, known as a shrewd marketer of football, must know that a controversial immigration enforcement action by ICE agents at the Super Bowl would not go over well south of the border — or in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",
