Kate Steinle's Case Summary

Green Meadows Hospital is newly constructed community hospital owned by Southern Hospitals Corporation. Kate Cooper was very excited when she got a new position at Green Meadows as a Manager of Adult Services. They started hiring people and were getting ready to open the hospital. However, things did not go well as they planned and wanted to. Therefore, Kate had to resign. The biggest problem that I see in this was their unorganized management skills and communications skills. They should have more prepared since they were new hospital and related to people’s lives but from the beginning, it seemed like they did not think that it was a big of deal and just went it the flow.

“Since the presidential election, there has been a sharp downturn in reports of sexual assault and domestic violence among Latinos throughout the country, and many experts attribute the decline to fears of deportation.” (Too Scared to Report Sexual Abuse. The Fear: Deportation.) With constant talk of things like deportation and building a wall on the Mexican-American border, it’s no surprise that immigrants and Latinos have stopped reporting incidents of rape and abuse. This article shows that immigrants no longer feel safe or protected in America. “‘I would call the police and use another name or make a neighbor call,’ said April, who came across the border from Mexico when she was about 8 and lives in Orange County. ‘When he came after me, he’d say that I would get sent back to Mexico and never see my kids again. I believed him for a long time.’” (Too Scared to Report Sexual Abuse. The Fear: Deportation.) Women who have risked everything to come to America and begin a new life are being manipulated and threatened to the point where they are beyond terrified to report any form of assault or domestic abuse that they have experienced in fear of being deported away from their children and family. This is becoming the sad reality of life as an immigrant in the United

In “Sanctuary city districts brace for executive order to withhold funds”... by Angela Pascopella, she writes on how Donald Trump is attempting to stop the funding of these sanctuary cities. Sanctuary cities are places where Illegal immigrants, immigrants who entered the U. S. without the correct things to enter legally, are protected from the wrath of the government. The immigrants are protected by the county they are in, so that the federal government can’t take them away, because the county government has them under their control. For example, Los Angeles is a sanctuary city. Nearly 4 million of K12 students, or 7 percent of the U.S. come from undocumented families. Los Angeles and other cities like Chicago and New York try and protect

With important issues occurring every hour these days, more questions are being asked with them. One of those issues is Sanctuary Cities. A Sanctuary city is a city in which State and Local government do not follow immigration policy and do not actively seek and deport undocumented immigrants. Some could find that this Local policy hurts all Americans. Some could find this a moral obligation as a citizen of the United States. But by any means this topics has major implications to President Trumps policies and Federalism. And with these cities becoming more mainstream, question are becoming more relevant to other parts of government. There are direct effects on issues like cities health program, fight against opioids, and other local

Bang! A bullet left the chamber of a handgun, disrupting San-Francisco’s touristy promenade into chaos. Only one person was killed, an innocent woman named Kate Steinle. Kate was just walking with her father until Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez pulled the trigger which ended her nice pleasant stroll with her father and her life on that beautiful evening. The killer, Juan Francisco Lopez- Sanchez is an illegal immigrant that was never legally permitted to carry a firearm in the State of California in the first place, but somehow he got a hold of one and shot Kate Steinle in the back. He was deported to Mexico five times, and has a criminal record of committing several crimes, and recently murdering Kate Steinle(Sakuma). This event sparked national

Christina Littlefield reports that Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, an undocumented immigrant, had seven felony convictions in the United States and had been deported from the country five times, yet the city of San Francisco declined to detain him for ICE officials and released him into the community. Sanctuary cities release criminals, like Lopez-Sanchez; consequently posing a threat to surrounding communities. According to Jessica Vaughan out 8,145 undocumented immigrants released from detention requests, 63% had previous criminal convictions. Sanctuary cities allow perilous immigrants among legal residents of the United States. These cities enable aliens to commit barbaric crimes, leave the country, and then come right back with no penalty. Of those previous criminal records, Vaughan reports 36.6% undocumented immigrants had felony charges and 23.4% had charges related to violence, assault, sexual abuse, weapons, or drug distribution. Rapist, drug dealers, and murderers are all threats to the community. Hostile immigrants deserve to be in jail, not harbored in Sanctuary

The history of the “sanctuary city” designation is vague in its origin and definition, the word sanctuary meant something to those refugees, and to a lot of congregations all over the country who provided them with shelter. As for today, the term has become charged and in some ways toxic. With hundreds of cities considered sanctuary jurisdictions, five states and 644 counties have policies limiting local law enforcement’s cooperation with federal

The new president has signed a lot of orders. There is one major topic that he talks about which is sanctuary cities and their fundings. In this essay, I’m going to talk about how Donald Trump is taking away funds from the sanctuary cities. This is happening because of the help they are giving to immigrants. The second thing is how these decision affects many immigrants and their families. I know that there’s a lot of people who disagree with these cities. I am in favor, because there are many immigrants that come to the United states in seek of a better life. To live the “American dream.” These immigrants are not here to harm America in any way.

Sanctuary cities are considered to be havens for undocumented immigrants who have entered the United States for economic opportunities, to escape violence, or other various reasons. One of the first sanctuary cities in the country was Los Angeles, which along with the rest of Los Angeles County is home to roughly 814,000 undocumented immigrants as of 2013 (PPIC). Many of these undocumented immigrants have never committed a criminal act outside of the civil offence of entering the country without the proper immigration documents. While there may be flaws to sanctuary cities, Los Angeles’ status as a sanctuary city is vital to the protection of not only the undocumented immigrants living there but the rest of the community as well.

The Los Angeles freelance writer Richards discussed the changing ideology and opinions that have shaped California’s immigration policies. Even though Los Angeles is a sanctuary city that hosts several hundred thousand of immigrants, the city was once a tough place for immigrants to settle and enter. For example, in 1986, the city had instituted measures that could deport immigrants more so the ones who had a higher risk of recidivism (Richards). However, as the immigrants’ population surged and their political relevance increased, a federal court eventually awarded them the right to be accorded public services that other city members were entitled to, retracting the 1994 discriminatory policy that denied immigrants such privileges (Richards).

Furthermore, Arizona SB 1070 is a bill signed on April 23, 2010, that requires officers to demand papers proving citizenship or immigration status from people they stop based on “reasonable suspicion” that they are illegally in Arizona (“Frequently”). This legislation clearly allows a person to use racism to justify a crime due to their race, violating basic human rights. After the passing of SB 1070, many families felt obligated to move, causing “upheaval that impacted young people’s academic performance, personal health, and emotional stability” (Lopes 7). Similarly, a counselor at a school in Arizona typically saw 40 to 60 students; however, in the 2012-2011 school year, after the passing of the bill, she worked with around 120 students (Lopes 14). It is evident that the bill mentally ravaged the students in school during this time, causing even young children to panic over issues that should not concern them yet. Additionally, a United States citizen named Yesenia was finishing her freshman year at Arizona State University for journalism, when her parents held visas without work authorizations; after the passing of the SB 1070, she decided to drop out of college to support her family during this time of immense struggle (Lopes 12). A young girl who could have contributed immensely to the journalism world is no longer able to provide her contribution of skilled communication towards a multicultural perspective. Due to profiling, she can no

There has been an issue for several years in the United States, and yet it hasn’t been resolved. While the government is looking for a solution, there have been so many families that are getting separated just because they are deporting too many people. Some states that have made their own laws which are laws that are absolutely unconstitutional, such as the one from Arizona the SB-1070, which that law allows the police within that state, to stop and interrogate any person who appears to be an immigrant. They can be identified by their skin color, and their way of talking. That law is unconstitutional because the police are judging

There are many phrases that dehumanize an individual. One of these phrases is illegal immigrant. The phrase has been used by media outlets, politicians, and the public for years in the United States. It diminishes the idea that diversity is substantially vast in our country (Chomsky, 2014). “Immigrants exhibit a large proportion of ingenious and valuable workmen,” said Founding Father, Thomas Jefferson. In 2013, more than 41.3 million of the United States population were immigrants. This made up 13 percent of the U.S. population at the time and the percentage has only increased since then (Zong and Batalova). On November 20th of 2014, President Barack Obama addressed the nation regarding his plans on immigration. The President said, “My fellow Americans, we are and always will be a nation of immigrants. We were strangers once, too” (The White House). An illegal immigrant is defined as a foreign-born, undocumented individual who migrates across the national borders in a way that infringes the immigration regulations and laws of the country (United States Department of Homeland Security). There are many reasons as to how and why this phrase receives adverse responses. Illegal immigrant is a phrase that labels and misrepresents the undocumented individuals of the United States who are an influential and dynamic part of the society.

Kate Steinle’s death, including the judiciary hearing, is a historical current event because it’s repercussions and concerns will have a long lasting affect on the world, especially the United States. Her solemn death, along with others murdered by illegal immigrants, has caused the citizens of the United States to attempt to increase the enforcement of immigration laws, and therefore add more protection to the country now and in the future. Nevertheless, strengthening the immigration laws in the United States will have a large impact on the world. If America’s “sanctuary” communities begin to cooperate with the federal immigration enforcement, then the country could become much safer, amicable, and endure less death. However, the people immigrating

During recent years, we have seen the focus on immigration shift from every other racial and ethnic group to Mexican immigrants because of the disproportionate representation of Latinos on the news for instances of drugs and criminality. In 2010, SB 1070 was passed in Arizona and it was essentially an anti-immigrant law, which allowed “police to demand papers proving citizenship or immigration status from anyone they stop and suspect of being in the country unlawfully” (ACLU). It allowed the police and other paramilitary forces to racially profile Latinos without any probable cause and allowed them to harass people and question their legality based on assumptions of race. This legislation allowed “the deportations of almost 400,000 people in
