WE ARE GETTING WORD OF THE
DRAMATIC SHIFT IN POLICY OR
UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS CAUGHT
CROSSING THE BORDER.
ELSA: REUTERS IS REPORTING THAT
MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN COULD
BE SEPARATED.
KCAL 9 POLITICAL REPORTER DAVE
BRYAN JOINS US NOW WITH MORE ON
THE PROPOSAL AND THEIR REACTION
TO IT.
REPORTER: A LOT OF CONTROVERSY
TONIGHT ABOUT A COUPLE OF
IMMIGRATION ISSUES.
TONIGHT SOME IMMIGRATION RIGHTS
GROUPS ARE CHARGING PRESIDENT
TRUMP'S EXECUTIVE ORDER ON
DEPORTATIONS IS NOW BREAKING UP
FAMILIES -- SEPARATING PARENTS
FROM THEIR CHILDREN AND FOR
THOSE WHO WILL TRY TO SNEAK INTO
THE U.S. ILLEGALLY ESTATES MAY
BE GETTING A LOT HIGHER.
WOMEN AND CHILDREN WHO CROSSED
THE BORDER TOGETHER INTO THE
U.S. ILLEGALLY COULD BE
SEPARATED WHEN THEY GET HERE
AFTER PROPOSAL BEING CONSIDERED
BY THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND
SECURITY.
REUTERS REPORTS IT'S ONE PIECE
OF A PROPOSED
OTHERS FROM TAKING THE RISK OF
LOSING THEIR CHILDREN FOR A
WHILE IN ORDER TO GET
U.S. WITHOUT PROPER PAPERS.
UNDER THE PROPOSAL OF BORDER
PATROL CAN ARREST THE PARENTS TO
KEEP THEM IN CUSTODY WHILE THE
CHILDREN WOULD BE PUT INTO
PROTECTIVE CUSTODY OPERATED BY
THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND
HUMAN SERVICES.
CALIFORNIA SENATE PRESIDENT
KEVIN DALY ON TELL "CNN" THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA INDICATED
THERE'S NOT MUCH THE STATE CAN
DO TO STOP IT.
THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS AN
INVISIBLE SHIELD OR IF YOU ARE
AN ADOPTIVE IMMIGRANT YOU ARE
PROTECTED.
THE REALITY IS THE IMMIGRATION
LAW IS ENFORCED BY FEDERAL
AUTHORITIES HOMELAND SECURITY
AND I.C.E. AND NO ONE CAN
PROTECT YOU FROM THAT.
WHAT WE CAN DO IN CALIFORNIA AND
OTHER PARTS TO SAY WE ARE NOT
GOING TO PARTICIPATE IN
SEPARATING MOTHERS FROM THEIR
CHILDREN.
REPORT THE NEWS OF THE PROPOSAL
COMES AT A TIME IN THEIR GROWING
QUESTIONS ABOUT WHETHER
IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES
ARE ROUNDING UP AND DEPORTING
MORE THAN JUST DANGEROUS
CRIMINALS.
THE SOUND OF A 13-YEAR-OLD GIRL
WEEPING WHILE SHE SHOT VIDEO OF
HER FATHER BEING ARRESTED AND
TAKEN AWAY BY IMMIGRATION
AUTHORITIES AS HE WAS DROPPING
OFF HIS CHILDREN AT SCHOOL THIS
WEEK IN LINCOLN HEIGHTS.
I CRIED BECAUSE IT'S NOT EASY
TO SEE HER FATHER IN THAT
SITUATION AND BEING TAKEN AWAY.
REPORTER: HE WAS TRACKED DOWN
FOR DEPORTATION BECAUSE OF HER
MAMA RECORD THAT INCLUDED A
MISDEMEANOR DUI CONVICTION TWO
YEARS AGO IN TO DRIVING
INFRACTIONS ARE RESULTED FROM
HIS INDICTMENT STATUS.
NOW A NUMBER OF SIMILAR ARRESTS
AND DEPORTATIONS ACROSS THE
COUNTRY ARE SHAKING UP IMMIGRANT
COMMUNITIES AND CREATING A SENSE
OF FEAR AND LOATHING.
THE ONLY MAN IN MY LIFE.
YOU ARE RIPPING HIM APART FROM
ME.
A PART OF ME HAS DIED.
REPORTER: AND EMOTIONAL ROSE
ESCOBAR DESCRIBED HOW THE
DEPORTATION OF HER HUSBAND HAS
DEVASTATED HER AND HER TWO
CHILDREN.
MR. ESCOBAR HAD LIVED IN THE
U.S. FOR 16 YEARS AND HAD
TEMPORARY PERMISSION TO STAY BUT
MISSED AN IMMIGRATION HEARING
AND IN JACKSON MISSISSIPPI THIS
WEEK 22-YEAR-OLD DANIELLA VARGAS
HE CAME TO THE U.S. WHEN SHE WAS
SEVEN SPOKE AT AN IMMIGRATION
RALLY ABOUT HER FEAR OF BEING
DEPORTED.
SOON THEREAFTER HER WORST
NIGHTMARE BECAME REALITY WHEN
SHE WAS PULLED OVER, DETAINED
AND WILL SIMPLY DEPORTED FOR
OVERSTAYING HER VISA.
THESE ARE NOT THE KINDS OF
IMMIGRANTS PRESIDENT TRUMP KEEPS
TALKING ABOUT DEPORTING.
WE ARE GETTING THE BAD ONES
OUT, OKAY?
WATCH THESE PEOPLE.
IT'S LIKE I'M SO UPSET.
WE ARE GETTING BAD PEOPLE OUT OF
THIS COUNTRY, PEOPLE THAT
SHOULDN'T BE WHETHER IT'S DRUGS
OR MURDER OR OTHER THINGS.
REPORTER: THAT'S NOT WHAT THE
EXECUTIVE ORDER SIGNED BY
PRESIDENT TRUMP IN JANUARY SAYS.
IT CALLS FOR EXECUTION OF THE
IMMIGRATION LAWS AGAINST ALL
REMOVABLE ALIENS AND IT LEAVES
IT UP TO THE JUDGMENT OF THE
IMMIGRATION OFFICER TO DECIDE IF
AND NOT DOCUMENTED IMMIGRANT IS
IN THE COUNTRY ILLEGALLY BUT HAS
NOT COMMITTED A SERIOUS CRIME
STILL POSES AN UNSPECIFIED RISK.
JOSÉ ESCOBAR'S ATTORNEY SAID THE
DOWN HAS GONE TOO
DEPORTING CRIMINALS, GETTING
RID OF THE BAD HOMBRES.
SADLY WE
HOMBRES DEPORTED TO.
REPORTER: SUPPORTERS OF AN
IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN ARGUED THE
OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF THOSE
WHO ARE BEING DEPORTED ARE IN
FACT DANGEROUS CRIMINALS.
OVERWHELMING NUMBERS THEY SAY IN
THE CHARGE CRITICS OF THE USING
A HANDFUL OF CASES TO CREATE THE
ILLUSION THAT EVERYONE IS BEING
