UO President Says School Will Protect Undocumented Students

“In a 60 Minutes interview scheduled to air Sunday, President-elect Donald Trump said he planned to immediately deport 2 million to 3 million undocumented immigrants who “have criminal records” after his inauguration next January”.

Los Angeles city leaders are considering a series of moves created to protect immigrants in this city illegally in the wake of Donald Trump’s election, including the hiring of an immigration advocate and policies to prevent L.A. residents from being deported.

The students rallied outside Homestead City Hall to push for an ordinance to declare Homestead a “Sanctuary City” and ask administrators to make each of their schools so-called sanctuary campuses.

“For the past week, you’ve had so many people in the city of Los Angeles having so many questions and concerns”, Wesson said Thursday. Regarding timing, he said, “After the border is secure and after everything gets normalized, we’re going to make a determination on the people that they’re talking about who are terrific people, they’re terrific people but we are gonna make a determination at that”. “He’s cutting with a really broad stroke”.

Big-city mayors throughout the country promise to stop Trump from carrying out a deportation policy indistinguishable from Obama’s.

Many advocates and immigrants are convinced that distinctions – legal vs. unauthorized, permanent resident vs. visa holder – will not matter. Trump could either dissolve existing permits when he dismantles the executive order, or let them expire on their own.

On the list of sanctuary cities are some of the biggest cities in the USA, including New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington DC, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, and Detroit, among others.

About 5.6 percent of the city’s $8.8 billion 2016-1017 budget comes from federal funds, according to the office of the City Administrative Officer. We are better people than this. “I vow to uphold the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution, yes, by not holding people in jail without a warrant, which I think is in violation of the U.S. Constitution”, Kenney said. Sheriff David Livingston, however, said he has no intention to cut the contract.

But critics of sanctuary cities and campuses welcomed Trump’s plan.

Despite the frustrations of federal immigration enforcers, there are practical reasons for why sanctuary cities do what they do.

So far, Trump’s only threat is to punish communities by withholding federal funding. The service could not determine how many were undocumented. Cities like San Francisco would even risk losing reimbursements it receives for Medicaid.

Illegal immigration was a central issue of Trump’s presidential campaign. His lawyers have repeatedly said the July 1, 2015, shooting was an accident.

“It’s very heartwarming”, she said.

Weeks after the killing, Steinle’s parents traveled to Washington to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee, imploring Congress to take action.

Mayor Ed Murray told a crowd Wednesday night that the city will remain a sanctuary for undocumented immigrants, reported The Seattle Times.

How will the government track down those undocumented immigrants?

For the past week Harvard sociologist Roberto Gonzales has comforted dozens of undocumented students who have called, texted and messaged him asking for guidance in the wake of the Donald Trump victory. “He has a vague understanding, more confusion than anything”. She said Brown had supported undocumented students by considering DACA-status students as they would USA citizens’ applications. But the nation’s immigration courts are already overburdened. Some estimates put the number of undocumented with criminal records at less than a million.

“They are going toward this direction but there is no policy that protects the safety of undocumented students”, Mauriz said. The rest work on detention operations, screening visa applicants in foreign countries, conducting immigration audits of USA businesses and investigating crimes that include money laundering, import and export fraud, and human trafficking. Originally from Oaxaca, Mexico, Serrano helped form the student group UndocuRutgers because he says the incoming Trump administration could dramatically impact the lives of young, undocumented people. But she said she is particularly concerned about her family’s undocumented status in a Trump administration. We do not know and can not speculate about what laws or policies may be adopted in the future, or what the impact at Stanford might be.
