CALIFORNIA EMPOWERED IMMIGRANTS TO SPEAK UP AT WORK. TRUMP COULD END THEIR PROTECTIONS
Jeanne Kuang CalMatters
In30 years in America, Alejandro Gamez took any job he could as an undocumented worker — at fast food restaurants, factories and car washes and driving trucks, even when conditions were poor.
“I had no status,” he said. “I had no options.”
But after speaking up in 2017 about unpaid wages at an Inglewood car wash, his fortunes changed. As part of a state investigation into that employer’s labor practices, Gamez this year became eligible for four years of protection from deportation — and a temporary work permit that seemed to open doors overnight. The 51-year-old Hawthorne resident said he can apply for better, stable jobs that pay more and provide benefits. He now has a union-represented position in a college kitchen and a Social Security number to build his credit.
“It changed my life,” he said in Spanish. “It is giving me many job opportunities, to be better financially and to give a better life to my family.”
His opportunities are thanks to a recent federal program that grants temporary legal status to workers involved in certain labor investigations. With some of the nation’s strictest workplace laws but widespread concerns of employer retaliation, California has issued more than 200 requests to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, asking it to grant legal status to workers who report violations.
But just months after Gamez got his reprieve, the program may be on the chopping block: President-elect Donald Trump and his advisors have vowed mass deportations, a return to workplace immigration raids and the repeal of similar temporary protection programs.
Gamez’s attorney, Yvonne Medrano, said she’s expecting the program to be axed soon after Trump takes office Jan. 20. Her firm, the Los Angeles-based Bet Tzedek Legal Services, is no longer pursuing new cases under the program after representing workers seeking protections in 15 different workplace investigations.
“Removing this protection will return workers to a time when they fear deportation for
asking for minimum wage, their paychecks or any other protections they have,” Medrano said.
Other immigration attorneys in California had already stopped filing new applications before Election Day. They said they expect Homeland Security to honor the four-year reprieves that the department has already granted, but are uncertain what happens next.
“This is a discretionary program,” said Jessie Hahn, senior counsel for labor and employment policy at the National Immigration Law Center, an advocacy group. “We are not anticipating that if Trump were elected he would continue the program.”
A Trump campaign spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment about his intentions for the program.
It has created another group of immigrants who have been granted temporary permission to be in the United States as the chances of a federal immigration overhaul have grown ever slimmer — making their prospects heavily dependent on the see-saw of each presidential administration.
The program, one of several Biden administration efforts to boost the enforcement of

it as a way to earn money legally and get better-paying jobs outside the underground economy. Others said it gives them time — and a much quicker path to a work permit — as their other immigration-related cases wind their way through the federal bureaucracy.
Immigration attorneys and advocates say while some applicants are seeking reprieves from active deportation cases, most have been living and working without papers undetected, meaning they’ve come forward to federal immigration authorities for the first time.
It’s not clear how many of those workers are in California. A Homeland Security spokesperson would not release state-by-state figures, citing “ongoing investigations.”
labor laws, aims to give state investigators easier access to witnesses who may otherwise fear reprisal for making workplace complaints.
It’s similar to the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program that gave work permits and temporary deportation protections to immigrants who had been brought to the U.S. without authorization as children. About 500,000 residents have that form of legal status, but the program has stopped granting new applications after challenges in the federal courts. Trump tried to rescind the program in his last term; Stephen Miller, a close Trump advisor, said he will do so again, the New York Times has reported.
Deferred Action for Labor Enforcement is much narrower — 7,700 workers have benefitted since January 2023. Anyone who’s not a U.S. citizen can apply if they can prove they were working for an employer under investigation. First, a state or federal labor agency must submit a letter to Homeland Security saying they need the cooperation of worker witnesses in each investigation.
Those granted deferred action are shielded from deportation and allowed to work legally for four years, but there is no path toward permanent residency. Some recipients see
But California is an eager participant in the program; Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration says it was the first state to file a letter supporting worker protections. The state is home to nearly 1.5 million workers who are undocumented immigrants, making up more than 7% of the workforce.
Such workers are a frequent focus of the state’s labor investigations, and labor advocates say undocumented workers routinely fear both losing their jobs and being reported to immigration authorities for complaining about workplace violations.
“This fear can prevent them from fully cooperating with labor enforcement agencies in reporting and corroborating violations of the law,” Daniel Lopez, spokesperson for the state Labor Commissioner’s Office, said in a statement. “Ultimately, fewer protections undermine workers and impact responsible employers.”
In the past two years, the office, which investigates wage theft, has sent letters supporting deportation protections in 136 workplace investigations covering potentially hundreds of workers. The Division of Occupational Safety and Health has sent at least 12 letters. The Agricultural Labor Relations Board, which oversees farmworkers’ rights, has sent 10, and the Civil Rights Department, which investigates workplace discrimination complaints, has sent 60, spokespersons said.
The state has even paid to help immigrants get work permits. Last year,

Newsom announced $4.5 million to pay for free legal services to help farmworkers who are involved in labor investigations apply for deferred action. The money, allocated through mid-2026, has so far helped screen more than 500 workers for eligibility and 175 apply for the program.
There are as many as 800,000 seasonal and year-round farmworkers in California; at least half are believed to be undocumented.
“Agricultural regions have very limited access to immigration legal services,” said Jason Montiel, spokesperson for the Department of Social Services, which administers the grant to five legal aid groups statewide. “Providing farmworkers direct access to immigration legal services when their labor rights are violated increases the likelihood that they will file labor claims and collaborate with labor agencies.”
Newsom’s spokespersons did not respond to an inquiry about what will happen with the state grant program if federal rules change.
Nicole Gorney, a supervising attorney with VIDAS Legal Services, which is receiving a state grant, said that she has 12 farmworker clients waiting to be granted deferred action. She had hoped the state would expand the program to include workers in other industries.
“There are still a lot of workers out there who may qualify but really don’t want to come out of the shadows,” she said the morning after the election.
Gamez’ deferred action was granted in connection with retaliation claims he and his coworkers filed against Century Car Wash in 2018. That year, they had also filed wage theft claims with the state Labor Commissioner’s Office. According to state records, they told the office their managers made them show up earlier and leave later than the businesses’ opening hours, but their time-sheets didn’t match all the hours they worked. The car wash’s co-owners denied the claims, and told the state the time-sheets were accurate.
After demanding payment from his managers, Gamez said he was fired, and told to leave in front of customers. According to state records, he and his coworkers won the wage claims in 2021; a state hearing officer ruled Gamez was owed more than $20,000. But the state is still investigating claims the workers were fired and questioned about their immigration status in retaliation for speaking up. Last year at Gamez’ attorney’s request, the Labor Commissioner’s Office sent a letter to Homeland Security to request deportation protection for the workers.
“The ongoing investigation … is being conducted by our Retaliation Complaint Investigation unit and requires worker cooperation and testimony,” Labor Commissioner Lilia Garcia-Brower wrote in the letter.
Reached by phone, one of Century Car Wash’s owners deferred to the co-owner, who did not respond to a request for comment.
Gamez said his deferred action status kept him calm last week as many immigrants feared for their futures under a second Trump administration.

Others who received the protection remain afraid.
Alejandra Montoya came to the United States five years ago fleeing “problems in the family,” she said, and found work in the Central Valley’s fields. She had a degree in business administration in her native Mexico, and said she never intended to be an undocumented immigrant. But she had a son, and stayed to raise him in Bakersfield.
Montoya said she enjoys farm work, despite the hard days on her hands and knees picking and bunching carrots for $3.05 per box. On a good day, when the field conditions are forgiving, she can take home $150 or more, she said.
Working for a contractor hired by Grimmway Farms, she said she kept her head down, until one day last September when a coworker, Rosa Sanchez, was struck by a truck and killed in the field next to hers. Montoya said workers had raised concerns about that driver and she believed the accident was preventable. Some of the workers were told to keep working around Sanchez’ body, she said. Stunned, and now knowing what else to do, she did.
It was “traumatic,” she said through a translator. “Inhumane.”
In March, the state’s workplace safety agency issued more than $65,000 of citations against Grimmway, the contractor Esparza Enterprises and another contractor that employed the driver, alleging serious safety violations for allowing employees to work “in close proximity to a Commercial Truck being driven in an unsafe manner,” according to files obtained through a public records request. Federal and state records show the driver was backing up when the truck struck Sanchez.
The company and its contractors have contested the citations. Esparza did not respond to a request for comment. In a statement, Grimmway spokesperson Dana Brennan wrote that the company has strict policies prohibiting retaliation against employees or contractors’ employees who report issues at work.
“We have a confidential, anonymous, bilingual hotline where employees can report ethical concerns,” Brennan wrote. “As we have since we first learned of this tragic accident, we are committed to working with authorities throughout their investigation and extend our deepest sympathies to Ms. Sanchez’s family and her co-workers on this grievous loss.”
As a potential witness to the accident, Montoya applied for deferred action with the help of the United Farm Workers, and has since become more active with the organization, encouraging coworkers to apply and speak at a union convention in September.
The day after the election, she said she’s both relieved she got her work permit this year and fearful that she’s given her information to federal immigration authorities. In the fields, most of the workers were talking about Trump’s victory, “about what will happen with us now.”
“It protects us from deportation,” she said of the program. “Even so, the fear exists … Whenever he wants, he can take it away.”
PROGRAMA QUE BENEFICIA A INMIGRANTES QUE DENUNCIAN IRREGULARIDADES EN EL TRABAJO PODRÍA ESTAR EN RIESGO CON LA LLEGADA DE TRUMP
California quiere proteger de la deportación a los testigos en investigaciones laborales, pero el programa de la administración Biden para empleados indocumentados está en riesgo con el regreso de Donald Trump a la Casa Blanca.

Durante
sus 30 años en Estados Unidos, Alejandro Gamez aceptó cualquier empleo que pudo como trabajador indocumentado: en restaurantes de comida rápida, fábricas, lavado de autos y conduciendo camiones, incluso cuando las condiciones eran malas. “No tenía estatus”, dijo. “No tenía opciones”.
Pero después de denunciar en 2017 que no le habían pagado los salarios en un lavado de coches de Inglewood, su suerte cambió. Como parte de una investigación estatal sobre las prácticas laborales de ese empleador, Gamez este año pudo acogerse a cuatro años de protección contra la deportación y a un permiso de trabajo temporal que pareció abrirle puertas de la noche a la mañana. El residente de Hawthorne, de 51 años, dijo que puede solicitar empleos mejores y estables que paguen más y proporcionen beneficios. Ahora tiene un puesto representado por un sindicato en la cocina de una universidad y un número de Seguro Social para construir su crédito.
“Me cambió la vida”, dijo. “Me está dando muchas oportunidades laborales, de estar mejor económicamente y de darle una mejor vida a mi familia”.
Sus oportunidades se deben a un reciente programa federal que otorga estatus legal temporal a los trabajadores involucrados en ciertas investigaciones laborales. Con algunas de las leyes laborales más estrictas del país, pero con preocupaciones generalizadas de represalias por parte de los empleadores, California ha emitido más de 200 solicitudes al Departamento de Seguridad Nacional de los EE.UU., pidiendo que otorgue estatus legal a los trabajadores que denuncien violaciones.
Pero apenas unos meses después de que Gamez consiguiera su indulto, el programa puede estar al borde de la desaparición: el presidente electo Donald Trump y sus asesores han prometido deportaciones masivas, el regreso a las redadas de inmigración en los lugares de trabajo y la revocación de programas similares de protección temporal.
La abogada de Gamez, Yvonne Medrano, dijo que espera que el programa sea cancelado poco después de que Trump asuma el cargo el 20 de enero. Su firma, Bet Tzedek Legal Services, con sede en Los Ángeles, ya no está buscando nuevos casos bajo el programa después de representar a trabajadores que buscan protección en 15 investigaciones laborales diferentes.
“Quitar esta protección hará que los trabajadores vuelvan a un momento en el que temen ser deportados por pedir el salario mínimo, sus cheques de pago o cualquier otra protección que tengan”, dijo Medrano.
Otros abogados de inmigración en California ya habían dejado de presentar nuevas solicitudes antes del día de las elecciones. Dijeron que esperan que el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional respete las prórrogas de cuatro años que ya ha concedido, pero no están seguros de qué ocurrirá a continuación.
“Este es un programa discrecional”, dijo Jessie Hahn, asesora principal de políticas laborales y de empleo del Centro Nacional de Derecho Migratorio, un grupo de defensa. “No prevemos que si Trump fuera elegido, continuaría con el
programa”.
Un portavoz de la campaña de Trump no respondió a una solicitud de comentarios sobre sus intenciones para el programa.
Ha creado otro grupo de inmigrantes a quienes se les ha concedido permiso temporal para estar en Estados Unidos a medida que las posibilidades de una reforma migratoria federal son cada vez más escasas, lo que hace que sus perspectivas dependan en gran medida del vaivén de cada administración presidencial.
El programa, uno de varios esfuerzos de la administración Biden para impulsar la aplicación de las leyes laborales, tiene como objetivo dar a los investigadores estatales un acceso más fácil a los testigos que de otro modo podrían temer represalias por presentar quejas en el lugar de trabajo.
Es similar al programa de Acción Diferida para los Llegados en la Infancia (DACA, por sus siglas en inglés) de la era Obama, que otorgaba permisos de trabajo y protecciones temporales contra la deportación a inmigrantes que habían sido traídos a Estados Unidos sin autorización cuando eran niños. Unos 500,000 residentes tienen esa forma de estatus legal, pero el programa ha dejado de conceder nuevas solicitudes tras impugnaciones en los tribunales federales. Trump intentó rescindir el programa en su último mandato; Stephen Miller, un asesor cercano de Trump, dijo que lo volverá a hacer, según informó el New York Times.
La Acción Diferida para la Aplicación de Normas Laborales es mucho más limitada: 7,700 trabajadores se han beneficiado de ella desde enero de 2023. Cualquier persona que no sea ciudadana estadounidense puede solicitarla si puede demostrar que trabajaba para un empleador bajo investigación. Primero, una agencia laboral estatal o federal debe enviar una carta al Departamento de Seguridad Nacional indicando que necesita la cooperación de los trabajadores testigos en cada investigación.
Los beneficiarios de la acción diferida quedan protegidos de la deportación y pueden trabajar legalmente durante cuatro años, pero no existe una vía para obtener la residencia permanente. Algunos beneficiarios la ven como una forma de ganar dinero legalmente y conseguir empleos mejor remunerados fuera de la economía sumergida. Otros dicen que les da tiempo -y una vía mucho más rápida para obtener un permiso de trabajo- mientras sus otros casos relacionados con la inmigración avanzan a través de la burocracia federal.
Los abogados y defensores de inmigración dicen que, si bien algunos solicitantes buscan obtener indultos en sus casos de deportación activos, la mayoría ha estado viviendo y trabajando sin papeles sin ser detectados, lo que significa que se han presentado ante las autoridades federales de inmigración por primera vez. No está claro cuántos de esos trabajadores se encuentran en California. Un portavoz de Seguridad Nacional no dio a conocer cifras por estado, citando “investigaciones en curso”. Pero California participa con entusiasmo en el programa; la administración del gobernador Gavin Newsom dice que fue el primer estado en presentar una carta en apoyo a las protecciones para los trabajadores. El estado alberga a casi 1.5 millones de trabajadores que son inmigrantes indocumentados, lo que repre-
senta más del 7% de la fuerza laboral. Estos trabajadores son un foco frecuente de las investigaciones laborales del estado, y los defensores laborales dicen que los trabajadores indocumentados rutinariamente temen perder sus empleos y ser denunciados ante las autoridades de inmigración por quejarse de violaciones en el lugar de trabajo.
“Este temor puede impedirles cooperar plenamente con las agencias de cumplimiento de la ley laboral para denunciar y corroborar las violaciones de la ley”, dijo Daniel López, portavoz de la Oficina del Comisionado Laboral del estado, en un comunicado. “En última instancia, la falta de protecciones socava a los trabajadores y afecta a los empleadores responsables”.
En los últimos dos años, la oficina, que investiga el robo de salarios, ha enviado cartas apoyando las protecciones contra la deportación en 136 investigaciones laborales que afectan potencialmente a cientos de trabajadores. La División de Seguridad y Salud Ocupacional ha enviado al menos 12 cartas. La Junta de Relaciones Laborales Agrícolas, que supervisa los derechos de los trabajadores agrícolas, ha enviado 10, y el Departamento de Derechos Civiles, que investiga las denuncias de discriminación en el lugar de trabajo, ha enviado 60, dijeron los portavoces.
El estado incluso ha pagado para ayudar a los inmigrantes a obtener permisos de trabajo. El año pasado, Newsom anunció 4.5 millones de dólares para pagar servicios jurídicos gratuitos para ayudar a los trabajadores agrícolas que están involucrados en investigaciones laborales a solicitar la acción diferida. El dinero, asignado hasta mediados de 2026, ha ayudado hasta ahora a evaluar la elegibilidad de más de 500 trabajadores y 175 han solicitado el programa.
En California hay unos 800,000 trabajadores agrícolas estacionales y permanentes; se cree que al menos la mitad son indocumentados.
“Las regiones agrícolas tienen un acceso muy limitado a los servicios legales de inmigración”, dijo Jason Montiel, portavoz del Departamento de Servicios Sociales, que administra la subvención a cinco grupos de asistencia legal en todo el estado. “Proporcionar a los trabajadores agrícolas acceso directo a los servicios legales de inmigración cuando se violan sus derechos laborales aumenta la probabilidad de que presenten reclamos laborales y colaboren con las agencias laborales”.
Los portavoces de Newsom no respondieron a una pregunta sobre qué pasará con el programa de subvenciones estatales si cambian las reglas federales.
Nicole Gorney, abogada supervisora de VIDAS Legal Services, que recibe una subvención estatal, dijo que tiene 12 clientes trabajadores agrícolas que esperan que se les conceda la acción diferida. Ella esperaba que el estado ampliara el programa para incluir a trabajadores de otras industrias.
“Todavía hay muchos trabajadores que podrían calificar pero realmente no quieren salir de las sombras”, dijo la mañana después de la elección.
La acción diferida de Gamez se concedió en relación con las denuncias por represalias que él y sus compañeros de trabajo presentaron contra Century Car Wash en 2018. Ese año, también habían presentado denuncias por robo de salario ante la Oficina del Comisionado Laboral del estado. Según los registros estatales, le dijeron a la oficina que sus gerentes los obligaban a llegar antes y salir más tarde del horario de apertura de los negocios, pero sus planillas de horas no coincidían con todas las horas que trabajaron. Los copropietarios del lavadero de autos negaron las denuncias y le dijeron al estado que las planillas de horas eran precisas.
Después de exigir el pago a sus gerentes, Gamez dijo que lo despidieron y le dijeron que se fuera frente a los clientes. Según los registros
estatales, él y sus compañeros de trabajo ganaron los reclamos salariales en 2021; un oficial de audiencias estatal dictaminó que a Gamez se le debían más de $20,000. Pero el estado todavía está investigando las denuncias de que los trabajadores fueron despedidos e interrogados sobre su estatus migratorio en represalia por hablar. El año pasado, a pedido del abogado de Gamez, la Oficina del Comisionado Laboral envió una carta al Departamento de Seguridad Nacional para solicitar protección contra la deportación para los trabajadores.
“La investigación en curso… está siendo realizada por nuestra unidad de Investigación de Quejas por Represalias y requiere la cooperación y el testimonio de los trabajadores”, escribió la
Comisionada Laboral Lilia García-Brower en la carta.
Cuando se contactó por teléfono a uno de los propietarios de Century Car Wash, éste le remitió el asunto al copropietario, quien no respondió a una solicitud de comentarios.
Gamez dijo que su estatus de acción diferida lo mantuvo tranquilo la semana pasada mientras muchos inmigrantes temían por su futuro bajo una segunda administración de Trump.
“Eliminar esta protección hará que los trabajadores vuelvan a un momento en el que temen ser deportados por pedir el salario mínimo, sus cheques de pago o cualquier

Otros que recibieron protección siguen teniendo miedo.
Alejandra Montoya llegó a Estados Unidos hace cinco años huyendo de “problemas familiares”, dijo, y encontró trabajo en los campos del Valle Central. Estudió administración de empresas en su natal México y dijo que nunca tuvo la intención de ser una inmigrante indocumentada. Pero tenía un hijo y se quedó a cuidarlo en Bakersfield.
Montoya dijo que disfruta del trabajo agrícola, a pesar de los duros días que pasa de rodillas recogiendo y amontonando zanahorias por 3.05 dólares la caja. En un buen día, cuando las condiciones del campo son indulgentes, puede llevarse a casa 150 dólares o más, dijo.
Montoya dijo que, como trabajaba para un contratista contratado por Grimmway Farms, mantuvo la cabeza agachada hasta que un día de septiembre pasado una compañera de trabajo, Rosa Sánchez, fue atropellada por un camión y murió en el campo junto al suyo. Montoya dijo que los trabajadores habían expresado su preocupación por ese conductor y que creía que el accidente se podía haber evitado. A algunos de los trabajadores se les dijo que siguieran trabajando cerca del cuerpo de Sánchez, dijo. Aturdida, y ahora sabiendo qué más hacer, lo hizo.
Fue “traumático”, dijo a través de un traductor. “Inhumano”.
En marzo, la agencia de seguridad laboral del estado emitió más de $65,000 en multas contra Grimmway, el contratista Esparza Enterprises y otro contratista que empleaba al conductor, alegando graves violaciones de seguridad por permitir que los empleados trabajaran “muy cerca de un camión comercial que se conducía de manera insegura”, según los archivos obtenidos a través de una solicitud de registros públicos. Los registros federales y estatales muestran que el conductor estaba dando marcha atrás cuando el camión golpeó a Sánchez.
La empresa y sus contratistas han impugnado las citaciones. Esparza no respondió a una solicitud de comentarios. En una declaración, la portavoz de Grimmway, Dana Brennan, escribió que la empresa tiene políticas estrictas que prohíben las represalias contra los empleados o los empleados de los contratistas que denuncien problemas en el trabajo.
“Contamos con una línea directa confidencial, anónima y bilingüe donde los empleados pueden denunciar inquietudes éticas”, escribió Brennan. “Como lo hemos hecho desde que nos enteramos de este trágico accidente, nos comprometemos a trabajar con las autoridades durante toda la investigación y extendemos nuestras más profundas condolencias a la familia de Sánchez y a sus compañeros de trabajo por esta dolorosa pérdida”.
Como posible testigo del accidente, Montoya solicitó una acción diferida con la ayuda de United Farm Workers, y desde entonces se ha vuelto más activo con la organización, alentando a sus compañeros de trabajo a presentar sus solicitudes y hablando en una convención sindical en septiembre.
Al día siguiente de las elecciones, dijo que se sentía alivio por haber obtenido su permiso de trabajo este año y con temor de haber dado su información a las autoridades federales de inmigración. En los campos, la mayoría de los trabajadores hablaban sobre la victoria de Trump, “sobre lo que pasará con nosotros ahora”.
“Nos protege de la deportación”, dijo sobre el programa. “Aun así, el miedo existe… Cuando él quiera, lo puede quitar”.

Q&A: DAFNE KEEN AND HOW DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE BROUGHT HER BACK TO A CHERISHED ROLE IN THE MARVEL UNIVERSE
Arturo Hilario El Observador
Thissummer proved that superhero films are far from losing steam and popularity, with the return of two iconic Marvel characters and the actors who have made them legendary, Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds in Deadpool & Wolverine.
The film, which broke the record for highest grossing Rrated film of all time, no doubt earned its popularity in large part from the portrayals of the aforementioned actors, who have been playing the superheroes for quite some time, in the case of Jackman it’s been decades, having starred as Wolverine/Logan in 10 films since 2000.
Although this is the third iteration in the Deadpool series which started in 2016 and focuses on the life of Reynolds’ “merc with a mouth” Deadpool/Wade Wilson, this also serves as an extension of what was seen as the final Wolverine film, 2017’s Logan. That film also starred 12 year old Dafne Keen as Laura, also known as X-23, who is a child used as a lab experiment to create a new Wolverine-type mutant.
Despite Logan’s hesitancy to connect with other people in general, he’s drawn to Laura and understands her perspective of the world and her circumstances. Together the unruly pair go on an adventure to help Laura escape the clutches of the organization responsible for the torture she endured.
The film ends on a somber note when the pair are separated, but Laura is able to escape and live her life.
The return of Wolverine was eagerly awaited because of the finality of that film, so seeing Wolverine return was a huge draw for the team up in Deadpool & Wolverine What people did not expect, and what was one of many huge cameo surprises in the film, was that Dafne Keen returns as an older Laura. This ended up becoming one of the most emotional and enduring beats in the film, and a fan favorite reunion. Although, because of multiverse reasons, this isn’t the same Wolverine Laura grew
fond of in Logan, but despite that they are able to create a connection and help each other once again.
Recently Dafne Keen spoke with El Observador and provided a behind the scenes perspective on what it meant to come back to the role she had in her childhood, and what it was like to work with Hugh Jackman again on this blockbuster film with characters that are beloved by fans.
Directed by Shawn Levy, Deadpool & Wolverine is available to stream on Disney+ now.
Earlier this year you were doing press interviews for the character Jecki Lon, for the Star Wars show The Acolyte. And at the same time, without the public knowing it, you were holding back that secret that you were involved with Deadpool & Wolverine with your cameo of the beloved Laura. What was it like having to hold back on talking about that secret role you had been working on?
It was quite fun. I think I really enjoyed keeping that secret. It felt like my own little secret, and it was really fun when I got to share it with the world. And I'm really happy the way things turned out. It was quite fun to lie to the press.
What was the experience like being able to reach back into that role from nearly eight years ago?
There's something so beautiful about the mixture of the sarcasm and the grit and the rawness of these characters.
-Dafne Keen
I think getting back into it was really fun. I think acting with Hugh is always such an honor to me, and I always feel so lucky that I get to do it. And honestly, the script was so special, and it felt like such a love letter to Marvel fans and to the Fox universe. It was just really exciting to get to be a part of that and to get to act with the people that I got to act with and to work with Shawn, who is just such a wonderful director who I've looked up to
for years. It was just a really wonderful experience.
And as wacky as the Deadpool films have been over the years, why do you think it works to also have this emotional weight to it and have characters that come from the much more solemn Logan in this film?
I think there's something so beautiful about the contrast of Wolverine and Deadpool, and I think that's what really
works about it, the opposites meet in the middle in a way. And there's something so wonderful about this duo. I think a lot of it is how special Hugh and Ryan's friendship is and Shawn's and the love that they all have for these characters and the love they have for the fans. And there's something so beautiful about the mixture of the sarcasm and the grit and the rawness of these characters.
Given that Deadpool & Wolverine involves alternate multiverses and many cameos from other eras of Marvel films, did you go back to research and watch any of the Marvel Studios films to get an idea of where this might be headed?
Yeah, I did. I definitely did. I did a lot of watching of all of my fellow cameos' movies. That's something that I really enjoyed doing. I rewatched all the Fantastic Fours, which I loved back in the day. I watched the Blades, I watched the Elektra movie. It was just really fun. I got to watch these movies that I already loved, that I'd already watched just in a natural way and getting to understand the multiverse as someone who now was going to be a part of it. It was really cool.
It's really cool when your job is watch good movies, and my job was to watch Avengers and X-Men [movies].
And I would be like, "I am just doing research tonight, which is a full movie."
What was that process of
figuring out how to play Laura after all that time had gone by from Logan?
It was really, really wonderful. And getting to play her and getting to finally give her that moment to thank Logan was so special to me and kind of giving her a happy ending that's still tragic because it's still not her Wolverine. It was beautiful. And like I've said before, I think acting with Hugh is my biggest privilege and the biggest honor. So anytime I get to do anything with Hugh, I'm there.
And on reflection, of these two projects where you've been Laura/X-23, what do you think the legacy of the character that you brought to life is?
I honestly think Laura's legacy is the legacy that Logan left her with. I think it's, "don't be what they made you." And I think when we meet her in Deadpool again, she's been pretty true to that. I think that's something that's really beautiful.
After the film premiered at Comic Con this year, days before its theatrical release, did you guys have an idea then of what the reaction would be from fans and the audiences from then on?
I think we hoped, and our expectations were not only met, but exceeded to a level that I think none of us really were expecting. At least I wasn't expecting it to be what it was, especially as a cameo. I was really surprised by it in a really wonderful way, and I feel so grateful. Even the experience of getting to celebrate the movie opening at Hall H, it was really exciting.
So for those that have yet to see the film, what would be your pitch to get them to watch it on Disney+?
My pitch would be that you get to watch it from the comfort of your own home, that it's a fun movie, it's full of action, it's full of love. And it can be really human at times and pretty devastating. And I think it's a pretty special movie, and you should definitely watch it.

Q&A: DAFNE KEEN Y CÓMO DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE LA REGRESARON A UN PAPEL PRECIADO EN EL UNIVERSO MARVEL
La actriz española que destacó en Logan de 2017 regresa a un papel de su infancia en un cameo para la nueva película de Deadpool
Arturo Hilario El Observador
Esteverano demostró que las películas de superhéroes están lejos de perder fuelle y popularidad, con el regreso de dos personajes icónicos de Marvel y los actores que los hicieron legendarios, Hugh Jackman y Ryan Reynolds en Deadpool & Wolverine.
La película, que batió el récord de película clasificación R más taquillera de todos los tiempos, sin duda ganó su popularidad en gran parte por las interpretaciones de los actores antes mencionados, que llevan bastante tiempo interpretando a los superhéroes, en el caso de Jackman, han pasado décadas, interpretando a Wolverine/ Logan en 10 películas desde 2000.
Aunque esta es la tercera entrega de la serie Deadpool que comenzó en 2016 y se centra en la vida del “mercenario con boca grande” de Reynolds, Deadpool/ Wade Wilson, esto también sirve como una extensión de lo que se vio como la última película de Wolverine de 2017, Logan. Esa película también fue protagonizada por Dafne Keen, de 12 años, como Laura, también conocida como X-23, una niña utilizada como experimento de laboratorio para crear un nuevo mutante tipo Wolverine.
A pesar de la vacilación de Logan a la hora de conectarse con otras personas, se siente conectado con Laura y comprende su perspectiva del mundo y sus circunstancias. Juntos, la pareja rebelde emprende una aventura para ayudar a Laura a escapar de las garras de la organización responsable de la tortura que sufrió.
La película termina con una nota sombría cuando ambos se separan, pero Laura logra escapar y vivir su vida.
El regreso de Wolverine fue esperado con impaciencia debido al final de esa película, por lo que ver a Wolverine regresar fue un gran atractivo para el equipo en Deadpool & Wolverine. Lo que la gente no esperaba, y que fue uno de los muchos cameos sorpresa de la película, fue que Dafne Keen regresa como una Laura mayor. Esto terminó convirtiéndose en uno de los momentos más emotivos y duraderos de la película, y en una de las reuniones favoritas de los fanáticos. Aunque, por razones del multiverso, este no es el mismo Wolverine al que Laura se encariñó en Logan, pero a pesar de eso son capaces de crear una conexión y ayudarse mutuamente una vez más.
Recientemente Dafne Keen habló con El Observador y brindó una perspectiva detrás de escena sobre lo que significó volver al papel que tuvo en su infancia y cómo fue trabajar nuevamente con Hugh Jackman en esta exitosa película con personajes tan queridos por los fanáticos.
Dirigida por Shawn Levy, Deadpool & Wolverine ya está disponible para transmitir en Disney+.
A principios de este año estuviste haciendo entrevistas de prensa para el per-
Actuar con Hugh es mi mayor privilegio y un gran honor. Así que cada vez que tengo que hacer algo con Hugh, estoy allí.
-Dafne Keen
sonaje Jecki Lon, para el show de Star Wars The Acolyte. Mientras, sin que el público lo supiera, estabas ocultando este secreto de que estabas involucrada en Deadpool & Wolverine con tu cameo de la querida Laura. ¿Cómo fue tener que abstenerse de hablar sobre ese papel secreto en el que habías estado trabajando?
Fue bastante divertido. Creo que realmente disfruté guardando ese secreto. Lo sentí como mi pequeño secreto y fue muy divertido cuando pude compartirlo con el mundo. Y estoy muy feliz de cómo resultaron las cosas. Fue muy divertido mentirle a la prensa.
¿Cómo fue la experiencia de volver a asumir ese rol después de casi ocho años?
Volver a hacerlo fue muy divertido. Creo que actuar con Hugh siempre es un gran honor para mí y siempre me siento muy afortunada de poder hacerlo. Y sinceramente, el guión fue muy especial, se sintió como una gran carta de amor para los fanáticos de Marvel y para el universo Fox. Fue realmente emocionante ser parte de
alguna de las películas de Marvel Studios para tener una idea de hacia dónde podría dirigirse?
Sí, lo hice. Definitivamente lo hice. Vi todas las películas de mis compañeros cameos. Es algo que realmente disfruté hacer. Volví a ver los Cuatro Fantásticos, que me encantaban en aquel entonces. Vi las de Blade, vi la película de Elektra. Fue muy divertido. Pude ver estas películas que ya amaba, que ya había visto de forma natural y pude entender el multiverso como alguien que ahora iba a ser parte de él. Fue realmente genial.
Es realmente genial cuando tu trabajo es ver buenas películas, y mi trabajo era ver [películas] de Los Avengers y X-Men. Y yo decía: "Esta noche estoy investigando, y veía una película completa".
¿Cuál fue ese proceso de descubrir cómo interpretar a Laura después de que había pasado todo ese tiempo desde Logan?
Fue realmente maravilloso. Poder interpretarla y finalmente otorgarle ese momento para agradecer a Logan fue muy especial para mí y le dio un final feliz que sigue siendo trágico porque todavía no es su Wolverine. Fue hermoso. Y como dije antes, creo que actuar con Hugh es mi mayor privilegio y el mayor honor. Así que cada vez que tengo que hacer algo con Hugh, estoy allí.
Y reflexionando, de estos dos proyectos en los que has sido Laura/X-23, ¿Cuál crees que sea el legado del personaje al que le diste vida?
eso y actuar con la gente con la que actué y trabajar con Shawn, que es un director maravilloso al que he admirado durante años. Fue simplemente una experiencia maravillosa.
Y por más locas que han sido las películas de Deadpool a lo largo de los años, ¿Por qué crees que funciona tener también ese peso emocional y personajes que provienen del mucho más solemne Logan en esta película?
Hay algo muy hermoso en el contraste de Wolverine y Deadpool, creo que eso es lo que realmente funciona, los opuestos se encuentran en el medio de alguna manera. Y hay algo maravilloso en este dúo. Creo que en gran parte se debe a lo especial que es la amistad de Hugh, Ryan y Shawn y el amor que todos tienen por estos personajes, el amor que tienen por los fans. Y hay algo tan hermoso en la mezcla de sarcasmo, determinación y crudeza de estos personajes.
Dado que Deadpool & Wolverine involucra multiversos alternativos y muchos cameos de otras épocas de las películas de Marvel, ¿Volviste a investigar y viste
Sinceramente, creo que el legado de Laura es el legado que Logan le dejó. Creo que es "no seas lo que te hicieron". Y creo que cuando la volvamos a encontrar en Deadpool, ella ha sido bastante fiel a eso. Creo que eso es realmente hermoso.
Después del estreno de la película en la Comic Con de este año, días antes de su estreno en cines, ¿Tenían una idea de cuál sería la reacción de los fans y del público a partir de entonces?
Creo que teníamos esperanzas y nuestras expectativas no sólo se cumplieron, sino que se superaron a un nivel que ninguno de nosotros esperábamos. Al menos no esperaba que fuera lo que fue, especialmente como cameo. Realmente me sorprendió de una manera maravillosa y me siento muy agradecida. Incluso la experiencia de poder celebrar el estreno de la película en el Hall H fue realmente emocionante.
Entonces, para aquellos que aún no han visto la película, ¿Cuál sería tu propuesta para que la vean en Disney+?
Mi propuesta sería que puedas verla desde la comodidad de tu hogar, que sea una película divertida, llena de acción y llena de amor. Que a veces puede ser realmente humana y devastadora. Creo que es una película muy especial y definitivamente tienes que verla.

¿POR QUÉ LOS PRIMEROS CINCO PIES?
Las brasas de un incendio forestal suelen asentarse en los cinco pies alrededor de las estructuras. Retirar el material combustible es fundamental para reducir las igniciones.
Cómo cinco pies de espacio podrían salvar su casa durante un incendio forestal.
CONSEJOS PARA UN ESPACIO DEFENDIBLE
El Espacio Defendible es un área alrededor de su casa (hasta 100 pies o el límite de su propiedad) que está libre de material inflamable o vegetación. Un estudio de 2019 CAL FIRE descubrió que las estructuras que no seguían las pautas de espacio defendible tenían cinco veces más probabilidades de ser destruidas por incendios forestales. Investigaciones adicionales muestran que el área que rodea inmediatamente la casa es la más crítica para evitar la ignición por brasas.*
Estos son algunos pasos sencillos para crear cinco pies de espacio defendible alrededor de su casa:
1 Retire arbustos, árboles y plantas que se encuentren a cinco pies de su casa
2 Limpie las agujas de pino y escombros de sus canaletas y su techo
3 Mueva las parrillas de BBQ, los muebles de patio y cualquier cosa combustible de los costados de su casa
