This Week in Border Security: March 2, 2018
Eligible Dreamers are safe from the March 5 deadline, for now
President Trump abruptly decided to end Deferred Action for Child Arrivals (DACA) on September 5, 2017, giving Congress until March 8 to come up with a legislative solution that he found acceptable. (DACA, based on a 2012 executive order from President Barack Obama, protected from deportation undocumented people who had been brought to the United States as children.) Hopes for a legislative fix have been dashed, as Republican efforts to tie DACA to border wall funding, “chain migration,” the VISA lottery, and other immigration issues caused legislative gridlock.
Nonetheless, District Court Judge William Alsup of the Northern District of California and District Court Judge Nicholas G. Garaufis of the Eastern District of New York ruled illegal President Trump’s abrupt action. Both filed injunctions to keep DACA in place, with some strings attached. According to the Houston Chronicle, due to the rulings, “all of the 700,000 young immigrants who previously had the permits can keep applying to renew their permission. But no new applicants, young immigrants who turned 16 after September making them eligible for the program or others who didn't yet have the required high school certification, can apply.”
Moreover, The Arizona Republic points out that thousands of Dreamers whose renewals expire soon will lose deportation protections and work permits because “they haven't had time to send in renewal applications or because their applications are still being processed.” According to Vox, “Because not everyone who was eligible for renewals applied in time, an average of 122 immigrants are losing DACA protections each day right now; on March 5, that number is estimated to climb to over 400 a day, and around August 2018, it would climb to over 1,000 a day.”
Ordinarily, Trump would have to appeal this decision to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and depending on whether the court were to side with Judge Alsup or Trump, the case would respectively go to the Supreme Court or would not. However, Trump requested to circumvent the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and go directly to the Supreme Court. This unusual request is likely a White House attempt to bypass the liberal-leaning 9th Circuit in order to appeal directly to the Supreme Court—which would potentially be more receptive to the administration’s case. On February 26, the Supreme Court rejected Trump’s request, which means DACA is now in the hands of the judiciary, starting with the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. The DACA deadline does not, for now, require an immediate act of Congress—although a legislative fix remains urgent.
Trump persists in demand that Mexico pay for border wall, Enrique Peña Nieto cancels U.S. trip, U.S. ambassador to Mexico resigns
Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto’s tentative plans to visit the White House within the next few months were cancelled when a 50-minute phone conversation with President Trump, largely dedicated to the U.S.-Mexican border wall, ended badly. Trump would not compromise on his notorious campaign to make Mexico pay for a wall, and President Peña Nieto refused to entertain this “humiliating” demand.
According to the Washington Post, officials said that during the confidential call, “both countries agreed to call off the plan [for a U.S. visit] after Trump would not agree to publicly affirm Mexico’s position that it would not fund construction of a border wall that the Mexican people widely consider offensive.”
The same report cites former Mexican ambassador to the United States Arturo Sarukhan: “Even from the get-go, the idea of Mexico paying for the wall was never going to fly. His relationship with Mexico isn’t strategically driven. It’s not even business; it’s personal, driven by motivations and triggers, and that’s a huge problem. It could end up with the U.S. asking itself, ‘Who lost Mexico?’ ”
After nearly two years as U.S. ambassador to Mexico, Roberta Jacobson, announced March 1 that she will be resigning. She does so “amid strained relations between the two countries,” much of which stems from Trump’s vow to make Mexico pay for a border wall, the Associated Press reported.
Seeking asylum becomes harder in the United States
Amid severe violence from gangs and organized crime in Central America, families continue to make the perilous trek through Mexico to seek asylum in the United States. Once they arrive, agents following new Trump administration guidelines are aggressively prying migrants for suspected fraud.
Elmer Danilo Díaz Hernández, profiled in the Wall Street Journal, fled Honduras with his son because he was being pressured to join the MS-13 gang and when he refused, “MS-13 said they would come and kill me and my son.” Laben Perdoma fled with his 5 year old daughter after “My daughter saw the [gang] leader put a gun to my head and say I’m going to work for him.” Blanca Vasquez fled after gang members killed her husband and targeted her sons.
Once in the United States, it becoming increasingly common for parents to be separated from their children, something that U.S. authorities rarely did before. In some cases, it goes beyond separation. Blanca Vasquez’s 13 year old son was separated from her once immigration officials determined she did not have a legitimate fear to return home. Vasquez was then criminally prosecuted, the Houston Chronicle reports.
Migrants can be held indefinitely without the right to a bond hearing
On February 27 the Supreme Court ruled 5-3 on the case Jennings v. Rodriguez that migrants can be held indefinitely without receiving bond hearings, “even if they have permanent legal status or are seeking asylum,” according to The Hill. This overturned an earlier ruling from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which held that migrants can not be detained indefinitely and that they have the right to a bond hearing every 6 months.  
NPR reported that the average migrant is held for 13 months without bond; however, lead plaintiff Alejandro Rodriguez—a migrant who entered the US as a child—was held for 3 years without the right to ask for bond after being found guilty of possessing a controlled substance. Though Supreme Court rulings cannot be appealed, questions regarding the constitutionality of holding someone indefinitely without bail are likely to persist as cases like Rodríguez’s continue to surface.
California judge approves the border wall’s environmental waivers, but Trump unexpectedly threatens to halt border wall construction
On February 27 a California federal judge sided with the U.S. government in a lawsuit challenging dozens of environmental waivers the Trump administration has used to speed up construction of a border wall, under a 2005 law that exempts national security interests from such scrutiny. However, after the administration’s win, Trump tweeted:
“I have decided that sections of the Wall that California wants built NOW will not be built until the whole Wall is approved. Big victory yesterday with ruling from the courts that allows us to proceed. OUR COUNTRY MUST HAVE BORDER SECURITY!”
Despite the administration’s green light, Trump is still adamant about securing a $25 billion trust fund for border infrastructure, including at least $18 billion for several hundred miles of new border wall, before building. Nonetheless, according to the San Diego Tribune, “Administration officials could not point to any change in policy” and regarding several border projects “neither the White House nor the Department of Homeland Security responded to questions about whether Trump meant to delay any of those, and there was no sign that construction would stop.”
Border Patrol Agent released on pretrial supervision after attempting to smuggle 130 lbs. of marijuana
Border Patrol agent Alex Peña faces up to 2 years in prison after pleading guilty to helping smuggle marijuana in exchange for money, the Arizona Daily Star reports. On August 2, 2016 Peña stole a Border Patrol truck, which he intended to use to smuggle “more than 130 pounds of marijuana.” Upon further investigation, it was found that Peña regularly deposited large sums of money into his bank account, including one $30,000 deposit in 2016. Since he was found guilty February 22, “Peña has been released on pretrial supervision since March 2017, court records show.”

DOJ confirms new criminal probe linked to Waymo v. Uber lawsuit
Enlarge (credit: Bloomberg / Getty Images News)
A newly-released letter has formally acknowledged what was only briefly stated last month in a San Francisco courtroom: federal prosecutors have an open criminal investigation into Uber.
Late last month, as part of the proceedings in the high-profile and ongoing Waymo v. Uber trade secrets lawsuit, US District Judge William Alsup said that on November 22 he had received a letter from San Francisco-based federal prosecutors. It is very unusual for a judge in a civil case to be apprised of a pending criminal investigation involving one of the litigants.
In a separate November 28 letter sent to Judge Alsup, Acting US Attorney Alex Tse asked that the first letter not be made public. The judge unsealed both letters on Wednesday.
