Immigrants without legal status can apply for California Coronavirus $500 grants
By: Matthew Ormseth ~ Los Angeles Times ~ May 18, 2020
Undocumented Californians may begin applying for disaster assistance payments of $500 per person and up to $1,000 per household.
The state government has made available $75 million to help a projected 150,000 undocumented immigrants weather the coronavirus crisis.
To qualify, applicants must show that they are ineligible for federal assistance programs stemming from the coronavirus pandemic, such as the CARES Act or federal unemployment benefits, and that they have endured a hardship from the pandemic. Only adults may apply. A state guide to common questions and answers about the program is posted online.
Twelve nonprofit groups are working with the state government to disburse the aid. The groups help applicants determine if they’re eligible for the assistance, apply for it and deliver payment cards to those who receive it. Applicants must contact the group administering the assistance in their… Read full article here
La deportación de más de 900 niños migrantes en forma exprés
Por: Redacción , La Opinión – 20 de Mayo 2020
Las restricciones en las fronteras de Estados Unidos por la pandemia de coronavirus, le han permitido al Gobierno del presidente Donald Trump implementar algunas de sus medidas migratorias, como la deportación acelerada.
Esto ha afectado a diversos grupos, pero un reciente reporte de The New York Times indica que, según los datos disponibles del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS), entre marzo y abril se deportaron a 915 menores de edad.
Las expulsiones se dieron apenas llegaron a la frontera, en menos de 96 horas, como marca el nuevo protocolo, que en abril permitió la expulsión de 10,000 adultos, según datos de las propias autoridades.
El informe indica que 60 fueron enviados a sus hogares desde el interior de los Estados Unidos… Leer Artículo Completo Aquí

By MARCUS YAM, RUBEN VIVES, Los Angeles Times – May 21, 2020
The coronavirus is killing so many people in Tijuana that the morgue has run out of refrigerator space for bodies. As of Tuesday, the Mexican border city had confirmed 392 deaths.
On the front lines of the pandemic in Tijuana is the Mexican Red Cross. Its 13 ambulances handle the majority of emergency calls for the city of 1.8 million people. Lately that has meant as many as 40 coronavirus calls a day.

CMSC-CHRCL to file class-action lawsuit against US Dept. of Education & Secretary Betsy DeVos
The California-Mexico Studies Center (CMSC) is working with the Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law (CHRCL) to file a potential class-action lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Education and Secretary Betsy DeVos’ discriminatory exclusion of DACA, TPS, and other immigrant students from the CARES Act benefits for colleges and universities. While the bill does not reflect the exclusion of undocumented students currently enrolled in a higher education institution, the department determined that this population would not be eligible.
Thus, we are calling upon DACA / TPS recipients and Asylum seekers that were denied this benefit to become plaintiffs to file the lawsuit along with the CMSC and CHRCL. We are also calling upon organizations that want to get involved as plaintiffs.

Supreme Court could allow Trump to end DACA protections for Dreamers
By: Nicole Prchal Svajlenka ~ Center for American Progress ~ May 13, 2020
Any day now, the U.S. Supreme Court will announce its long-awaited decision on Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), a policy offering work authorization and protection from deportation to hundreds of thousands of immigrants who came to the United States many years ago as children. If the court rules that the Trump administration’s termination of DACA was lawful, it will clear the path for the administration to end DACA and strip protections from these individuals after more than two years of legal challenges. Notwithstanding such a ruling, the administration will likely not have to throw DACA recipients out of the workforce and put them, their families, and communities in jeopardy. However, if the administration does choose to apply the decision in that way, it is hard to imagine a worse time to do so than during a global pandemic, when more than 200,000 DACA recipients are working on the frontlines of the response. Should the Supreme Court rule against DACA, the Trump administration can and should continue to accept and process renewals, giving DACA recipients piece of mind and giving Congress..

For ‘essential’ Latinos, a high price to pay
By: Hailey Branson-Potts, Alejandra Reyes- Velarde, Matt Stiles, Andrew J. Campa ~ Los Angeles Times ~ May 17, 2020
For Lupe Martinez, who does the laundry at a Riverside nursing home, each day presented an agonizing choice: Go to work and risk getting the novel coronavirus or lose the $13.58-an-hour paycheck her family relies upon.
Martinez went to work.
Even after the masks started running low. Even, she said, after a patient whose room she had entered without protective equipment fell ill and was put into isolation.
Martinez, 62, tested positive for COVID-19 last month, followed by her 60-year-old husband, who had to stop working after having a heart attack last year. Her adult son and daughter, who live with them, also tested positive.
“There were many times I didn’t want to go to work,” said Martinez, coughing heavily as she spoke. “I didn’t want to get sick. My husband said, ‘Don’t.’ I said we can’t live. We have these bills. … I had to push myself to go. I had a commitment to my family.” Read Full article here
