Threat to DACA imperils the undocumented Trump expected to undo education safeguard Tuesday BRANDON PHO Daily Titan Undocumented students at CSUF now face a question of security amid reports of President Donald
Trump’s impending decision to terminate Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, an executive order signed into law by Barack Obama in 2012. “Our university police departments will not honor immigration hold requests, and our university police will not contact, detain, question or arrest individuals solely on the basis of
being – or suspected of being – a person who lacks documentation,” said CSU Chancellor Timothy White in a Feb. 22 written statement responding to Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly’s memoranda on Trump’s border security and immigration-related orders. White stipulated in his memo that Kelly’s
statements did not affect existing DACA policies and that he was not expecting subsequent “stepped up enforcement” on CSU campuses. He said any member of the CSU community that has been approached by federal, state or local officials regarding documentation or immigration status should contact the
University Police Department, which will act as a liaison and coordinate with the Office of General Council to provide guidance. Students have a variety of rights in the event that they encounter an Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent. The Immigration Legal Resource Center has
printable red cards on its website to clarify one’s own constitutional rights to a member of law enforcement. Among the rights articulated, one does not have to answer the door if an ICE officer is knocking, nor do they have to answer any questions. Students can print their own red cards at https://www. ilrc.org/red-cards.
Fullerton From CSUF theatre to ‘Hamilton’ rethinks crowd sizes at city bars Rubén Carbajal tells the story about how he snagged his role.

Fullerton City Council voted 5-0 Aug. 15 to approve a Resolution of Intent to address a proposition to change the maximum occupancy of downtown bars. Changes to the downtown occupancy restrictions have procedural hurdles to overcome before they are enacted. “We need more information. We have a lot of questions about how we can better regulate these businesses, and I think we need those answers,” said Councilman Greg Sebourn. Many downtown Fullerton business owners have requested the City Council approve changes to lower restrictions at many of their establishments. Currently, downtown bars are subject to a requirement stating that one person be allowed for every 15 square feet available for the building’s maximum occupancy. If approved, the maximum occupancy requirement would match the California law, totalling one person for every 7 square feet. Bar owners are claiming damages to their business because restrictions are driving customers to neighboring cities. “We’re just asking for a chance to compete. We’re asking leadership to step up and give us the opportunity to help Fullerton grow,” said Joe Florentine, owner of Florentine’s Grill. Many complaints have piled up over the years about the downtown Fullerton bar scene. Fights, vandalism and public drunkenness are some of the problems associated with downtown. Citizens are worried that increasing the maximum occupancy downtown will worsen these problems. SEE BARS 3
Before Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Broadway musical phenomenon “Hamilton” gained massive popularity, his musical “In the Heights,” changed how CSUF alumnus Rubén Carbajal saw his potential as an actor. “I remember sitting there and thinking, ‘I can see myself on that stage,’ and it was because I saw people that looked like me. I heard people speak the way I speak, the way my family members speak,” Carbajal said. Carbajal now sees himself onstage eight shows a week at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre playing John Laurens and Phillip Hamilton in Miranda’s “Hamilton.” He visited the Titan Theater last Monday to speak to CSUF students and alumni about his professional journey during an intimate event. CSUF professor Jeremy Lewis hosted the “Inside the Actor’s Studio”-type event presented by CSUF’s Office of Alumni Engagement,

followed by an exclusive meet and greet. The day Carbajal first met Miranda at the stage door after an “In the Heights” performance years ago was among the stories he told the captivated audience. “I was very lucky to see
(Miranda) perform. I remember it was super quick but it felt like I was meeting someone that I knew was going to change my life. I shook his hand and I remember saying, ‘Hey man, you’re my idol. I really appreciate everything you’re
doing for us, Latinos,’” Carbajal said. “Little did I know, I would be in one of his shows.” Before graduating in 2015 with a bachelor’s degree of fine arts in musical theatre, Carbajal starred in campus productions such as
“Legally Blonde,” “Spring Awakening” and “Kiss Me, Kate.” Right out of college, he was able to star in an “In the Heights” production along with a few others based in Orange County. SEE HAMILTON

Titans take first loss of the season CSUF women’s soccer ends undefeated streak against Utah. YARESLY SANCHEZ-AGUILERA KATHRYNE PADILLA Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer recorded its first loss of the season Sunday in a double-overtime, 2-1 defeat against the University of Utah Utes. “It’s a disappointing result, and we thought we could’ve gotten more. But that’s how football is sometimes. We just pick our heads up and go again for the next game,” Atlanta Primus said. For the duration of the match, the Titans maintained pressure on the Utes’ defense. However, both teams remained scoreless in the first half. The Titans re-entered the match in the second half with more intensity, despite weather conditions that made it difficult for both teams to effectively take advantage of any opportunities to score. The Utes attempted to
