Undocumented immigrants fearful of Deportation while attending OSU St etso n Pay n e M anag in g Editor @ Ste tso n __ Payn e

Editor’s Note: Emma and Sam are OSU students with legal status under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals executive order, which President Donald Trump could revoke at any time. To protect their safety, the O’Colly is identifying both students only by pseudonyms.

Since President Donald Trump’s inauguration, Emma has been afraid; a deep, crippling fear of tomorrow keeps her from sleeping well. Every knock at the door could mean the end of the life she has known since her third birthday, the end of living in the country she grew up in, the end of an education she is months away from finishing.

All of it could be over at any moment because Emma, an Oklahoma State University student, is undocumented.

“I went to bed not knowing if I would be here by the end of the week,” Emma said. “I would go to bed checking the news for updates, and I would wake up

The United States is home to me.” undocumented

waiting to be deported.

“I can’t describe it to you.

It’s just this dark place and extremely overwhelming sense of fear and anguish of the unknown.”

Emma is at OSU because of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals executive order, which allowed undocumented children of illegal immigrants to defer deportation and apply for a work permit, letting more than 750,000 like Emma, a marketing student, go to college.

Amir Farazaneh knows DACA well. The Oklahoma City-based immigration attorney has practiced for 21 years and helps his clients negotiate DACA and the citizenship process that

comes after it.

He said although DACA helped students like Emma achieve a tenuous legal status, it’s a signature away from meaning immediate deportation. “(DACA) is in the hands of the executive branch,” Faranzeh said. “They could kill it at any time.”

DACA helps bring undocumented people out of the shadows and provides a minimum level of documentation for work and education, Farazaneh said.

Being in the United States is breaking the law for undocumented people, and Farazaneh said the secrecy that comes with being undocumented doesn’t help anyone.

“When people are always in hiding, bad things happen,” Farazaneh said. “If they’re victims of a crime, they don’t come forward. If they do commit crime, it’s harder to find them.”

Sam, another undocumented OSU student, commutes from Tulsa for his accounting classes every day. He has called Oklahoma home since his parents moved to Tulsa from California.

Before California, Sam’s parents brought him across the border from Mexico when he was 2 without documentation. He has no memory of anything but the United States.

Until Sam turned 16, he

didn’t see his life as different from anyone else’s. It didn’t take long for him to realize the odds were stacked against him.

“I wasn’t able to get a driver’s permit; I wasn’t able to get that summer job at the mall with my friends,” Sam said. “I realized I couldn’t apply for FAFSA. At that point, the realistic options for college weren’t there.”

Sam graduated high school in May 2012, at a time when, for him, college was impossible. That changed when President Barack Obama approved DACA a month later, which replaced the stalled Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors

Act, better known as the DREAM Act. DACA was no sure thing, but Sam said he knew because of his grades and clean record, he had a good chance of being approved for a work permit. Even so, he said he remembers the day he got the letter in the mail.

“I was delighted,” Sam said. “My attorney said I had a high, probable chance of being accepted, but when I did receive the card, I was excited. I could apply to any job I qualified for, and I did.”

Although DACA opened the door for undocumented students to go to college, it didn’t offer a path to citizenship or residency. Regina

Henry, OSU coordinator of international programs, said DACA work permits have to be renewed every two years.

Prospective undocumented OSU students have to sign a letter of intent that states when permanent residency and citizenship is available, the student will become a legal resident, Henry said. OSU Director of Communications Gary Shutt said in an email nine students with letters of intent enrolled in fall 2016.

Henry, who works in the International Students & Scholars Office, said Trump’s election hasn’t affected DACA permits yet.

“Since some (students) filed prior to Trump, then they get the two years (from the permit),” Henry said.

“Those who filed recently, it looks like they get the two years, too. I haven’t seen the

approvals yet, but it looks like it will be the same.”

While students such as Emma and Sam attend class each day, their legal status hangs in the balance.

Trump’s signature in the form of an executive order would mean the end of DACA and its work permits allowing Emma and Sam to attend classes.

For Emma, that means going back to Mexico and forfeiting her hopes of an education because she said she doesn’t speak Spanish well enough to attend college there.

Emma was born in Jalisco, a state in west-central Mexico. She said when she was 3, her parents secured visas for them to travel to the United States. Several years after the visas had expired, Emma’s family went back to Mexico to reapply for new

visas.

Emma’s grandparents’ farm failed, leaving the family without a future in Jalisco. Her family members decided they would return to the United States with new visas after she finished second grade and stay for as long as they could last.

Emma’s undocumented status presented another challenge when she decided to go to college: Undocumented students cannot receive state or federal financial aid. Emma said she struggled to accept the circumstances after graduating high school.

“I graduated high school with a 3.99 GPA, I was ranked 36 out of my 500-person class and had all these accolades,” Emma said. “None of it mattered because I wasn’t a citizen.

I’m not able to receive any

scholarship money, anything.

“It was really hard for me to see people who hadn’t done as well as I had in school and had everything paid off and are being paid to go to school.”

Many of Farazaneh’s clients are like Emma, he said, victims of circumstances and decisions they never had control of.

“Every one of them are really fine individuals,” Farazaneh said. “They’re really just like any other American kid, most of them.

It just happened that they’re illegal or they were brought to the U.S.” After she graduates in May, Emma has a job lined up but said she wanted to eventually practice immigration law and run for office, in part because she wants to help fix the system she has dealt with all her life.

Undocumented immigrants are often criticized for not taking a legal path to citizenship, something Emma said isn’t practical when families are trying to find better lives.

“A lot of the things I’ve heard recently is ‘Why don’t you just become a citizen?

Why don’t you just wait in line?’” Emma said. “Well, I have. I’ve waited my entire life. In the past six years, just in immigration fees, I’ve paid over $11,000. That’s not counting the times I’ve applied for citizenship.

“It doesn’t take three to five business days. It takes a very long time.”

Nearly two years after Trump announced his campaign and said Mexicans crossing the border were bringing crime and drugs and were rapists, Emma said it’s an entirely different

America than what she has known.

Emma said because she doesn’t look or sound as Hispanic as others, she hasn’t seen as much discrimination, but it often means people tell her how they truly feel about immigration. She said she doesn’t feel welcome in America anymore.

Despite those feelings, Emma said she hopes she never has to go back to Mexico.

“My biggest fear is that I would have to go back,” Emma said. “That may not sound that bad, but I haven’t been there since I was in second grade.

“The United States is home to me.”

Orange Shield

Orange Shield has been available to download for almost two years, but only about a third of Oklahoma State University campusgoers have it on their phones.

About 8,500 users have enrolled on the free campus safety app out of about 27,000 students, faculty and administrators who visit the main Stillwater campus every day.

Campus officials attribute the lack of downloads to students feeling safe on campus and invincible in general.

“It’s just who you are

The Orange Shield safety app connects on-campus 911 calls to Oklahoma State University Police dispatch.

between the ages of 18 and 25,” OSU public information officer Carrie Hulsey-Greene said.

“We’re dealing with a population that doesn’t think anything bad is go-

ing to happen to them.”

Lt. W. Anthony Gillilan of the OSU Police Department said the 9.8-megabyte app costs $32,000 per year, which is paid out of the OSU

public safety budget to the Ohio-based company 911Cellular LLC. Gillilan said the budget shrunk last year and he expects it will shrink even more next year. OSUPD, though, is committed to keeping Orange Shield.

OSU police Lt. Mark Shearer said one of the biggest reasons he wants students to download the app is because it directs their 911 calls to the ap-

propriate dispatch center.

Orange Shield uses geofencing technology to direct users’ calls on campus to OSUPD dispatch.

Shearer said without the app, a 911 call made on campus is directed to the Stillwater Police Department, which could be disadvantageous.

Shearer said in most cases, especially medical emergencies, it is critical to not waste time being transferred from SPD dispatch to OSUPD dispatch.

Gillilan said the app also allows OSUPD to set a geofence around Boone Pickens Stadium on game days to direct 911 calls made on the app to the

on-site OSUPD command post to shorten response times.

Another important feature of the app is its locating capabilities, Gillilan said. When a 911 call is made using Orange Shield, the app gives OSUPD the longitude, latitude and altitude of the caller.

He said the altitude of a caller is found using WiFi routers. The altitude makes it easier for OSUPD to locate a caller in a building with multiple floors, such as residential halls, Gillilan said.

first universities in the country to use the altitude technology.

911Cellular has provided campus safety apps for more than a dozen universities, including Louisiana State University and Vanderbilt University.

The app-developing company signed a contract with OSUPD for Orange Shield in December 2014, Gillilan said.

Orange Shield had a rocky start when it launched on the Apple App Store and Google Play in August 2015, according to app store reviews. Customers complained of not being able to register on the app, but poor reviews ceased after a couple of version

updates. The latest update was in December 2016.

Hulsey-Greene said she has not received any individual complaints about the app.

Salahshour said the biggest challenge facing Orange Shield was raising awareness for students and faculty to download it.

OSU police officer K. Adam Queen spends a few minutes each year at freshman orientation to market the app, Gillilan said.

OSU freshmen Tantiana Mooneyham and Emaya Nelson downloaded the app at orientation.

“I haven’t even opened it since,” Mooneyham said.

Nelson said she has not

used the app either.

“But I guess it’s a good thing I haven’t had to use it,” Nelson said.

Hulsey-Greene said she is glad OSU is a campus where people feel safe but is still pushing for those who have not downloaded the app to do so.
