La vaste offensive anti-immigration de Donald Trump a pris forme dès son discours d'investiture. Dans la soirée du 20 Janvier, il a signé depuis la Maison Blanche le décret déclarant l'état d'urgence à la frontière avec le Mexique. Donald Trump compte aussi s'attaquer au droit d'asile et au droit du sol. À Los Angeles, à des centaines de kilomètres de Washington, c'est l'incrédulité qui domine avec le renforcement de cette politique anti-immigration. Des opérations d'arrestations et d'expulsions massives pourraient débuter très vite.Dans le quartier d'Altadena, ces mêmes immigrés que Donald Trump veut renvoyer dans leur pays aident à déblayer les quartiers dévastés par les incendies qui ont fait 27 morts.« C'est un message que nous voulons envoyer, le jour même de l'investiture », explique Nadia Marin-Molina de l'organisation de défense des droits des travailleurs immigrés, NDLON, rencontré par notre envoyé spécial Achim Lippold. « Alors que les immigrants sont stigmatisés par le nouveau gouvernement, ici, des travailleurs immigrés se mobilisent pour aider leur quartier », poursuit-elle. Certains ont tout perdu : leur maison, leur travail et à présent ils risquent l'expulsion.José, un migrant venu du Guatemala il y a 18 ans est en situation irrégulière et il est inquiet : « J'ai perdu mon emploi parce que je travaillais pour une famille de Pacific Palisades qui a perdu sa maison. Je m'occupais de leur jardin. Alors, comme je n'ai plus rien à faire, je viens ici depuis plusieurs jours pour aider à nettoyer. J'essaie de redonner un peu à ce pays qui m'a tant donné. »Chaque matin, des centaines de bénévoles affluent pour donner un coup de main dans ce quartier particulièrement touché par les feux. Beaucoup sont dans des situations extrêmement précaires : ils n'ont pas accès à l'aide fédérale. Certains évitent même les centres d'aide publiques, par peur des contrôles de la police fédérale de l'immigration qu'ils appellent « la Migra », en espagnol.L'inquiétude sur ce qui va se passer dans les prochains jours est bien réelle, explique José : « Tous mes amis, ceux qui n'ont pas de papiers, disent : mais comment je vais faire ? J'ai une voiture, j'ai un crédit… Ça fait des années que je suis ici, comment je vais faire s'ils me renvoient dans mon pays alors que j'ai des enfants ici ? » À la frontière mexicaine, des milliers de migrants bloqués dans l'attente d'un rendez-vousPremier effet concret de la vaste offensive anti-immigration de Donald Trump : la plateforme de demandes d'asile lancée par l'administration Biden Customs and Border Protection (CBP One) a cessé de fonctionner dès lundi. «Les rendez-vous existants ont été annulés», a indiqué le service sur son site internet.Au Mexique, des milliers de migrants principalement d'origine d'Amérique du Sud et d'Amérique centrale sont déconcertés. Dans la ville frontalière de Ciudad Juarez, Carly Fernandez, rencontré par notre correspondante Gwendolina Duval vient de recevoir un courriel d'annulation de son rendez-vous prévu en février. « On a tant lutté pour arriver là », témoigne-t-elle, « Ma soeur veut rentrer, elle fatigue de tout ce qu'on a enduré pour arriver ici… pour rien… »Au Paso de Norte, lui des points d'entrée pour aller à pied aux États-Unis, Yaledi a eu l'espoir d'être parmi les dernières à bénéficier du programme CBP One comme une centaine d'autres personnes qui attendaient depuis tôt le matin. Mais elle vient d'apprendre qu'elle ne pourra plus déposer une demande d'asile aux États-Unis, malgré son rendez-vous programmé l'après-midi même. « Je trouve que c'est injuste », dit-elle, « ce matin encore des personnes encore sont entrées. Pourquoi on ne nous donne pas cette chance ? Pourquoi ? ». Haïti : la fin du programme Humanitarian Parole « un jour triste pour des milliers d'Haïtiens »Donald Trump a également mis fin au programme « Humanitarian Parole » spécifiquement conçu pour les migrants en provenance d'Haïti, de Cuba, du Nicaragua et du Venezuela.Pour Gotson Pierre, directeur de l'agence Alterpresse, « c'est un jour triste pour des milliers d'Haïtiens qui comptaient sur ce programme appelé aussi « programme Biden » comme moyen pour fuir le pays ». « C'était une voie pour trouver refuge aux États-Unis et tenter de se créer un autre avenir », poursuit-il, « c'est un coup dur pour eux et c'est également l'incertitude pour d'autres qui bénéficiaient du programme temporaire : ils ne savent pas ce que sera leur sort, alors que le président américain brandit la menace de centaines de milliers d'expulsions »Pour Frantz Duval, qui signe un éditorial dans le Nouvelliste intitulé Trump, Haïti et les Haïtiens, Donald Trump « avait fait des Haïtiens installés à Springfield dans l'Ohio les emblèmes de l'immigration délétère » et le président américain avait à plusieurs reprises insulté ceux qui « habitent un sale trou (pour employer un euphémisme) et sont porteurs du Sida ». « Si l'on ignore si Donald Trump va se pencher sur les affaires haïtiennes autrement que via son programme restrictif sur l'immigration », poursuit l'éditorialiste, « il a déjà annoncé la couleur : le programme humanitarian Parole » qui bénéficie à de nombreux Haïtiens, « a pris fin ce jour même quelques heures après sa prestation de serment ». « Le président Trump peut nous enfoncer, nous laisser cuire dans notre jus ou nous ignorer. Dans tous les cas, nous avons des devoirs à faire. », conclut le Nouvelliste. Certains décrets anti-immigration de Trump « compliqués voire impossibles à mettre en œuvre »État d'urgence à la frontière avec le Mexique et «millions» d'expulsions promises, retrait de l'accord de Paris sur le climat, grâces pour des centaines d'assaillants du Capitole... L'avalanche de décrets signés par Donald Trump pour son retour au pouvoir compte quelques mesures spectaculaires qui risquent néanmoins d'être difficiles à mettre en œuvre. Elles promettent aussi de vives contestations devant les tribunaux. Certaines semblent même violer la constitution américaine.«Si le message est très clair», dit le NY Times, certains de ces décrets anti-immigration feront face à « de gros défis d'un point de vue légal et pourraient être compliqués voire impossible à appliquer ». Pour exemple, l'état d'urgence décrété à la frontière mexicaine et le rôle de l'armée qui pourrait être sollicité pour autre chose qu'un simple maintien de l'ordre. Le décret indique que l'armée aidera à « refermer les frontières et maintenir la souveraineté, l'intégrité du territoire et la sécurité des États-Unis en repoussant les différentes formes d'invasion ».« Cette directive pourrait entrer en opposition avec une loi datant de 1870 appelée le Posse Comitatus Act qui limite l'usage des troupes fédérales à des fins de maintien de l'ordre à l'intérieur des États-Unis », explique le NY Times qui fait aussi allusion à la volonté de Donald Trump de mettre fin au droit du sol, qui viendrait contredire le « 14ième amendement vieux de 157 ans, et d'ailleurs, dans les heures qui ont suivi cette annonce », explique le quotidien américain, « l'union américaine des libertés civiles a déjà annoncé sa volonté d'intenter un procès. » Colombie : l'état d'urgence décrété pour 90 joursLa Colombie fait face à une vague de violences, des affrontements entre guérillas qui ont déjà fait plus d'une centaine de morts et 20 000 déplacés. Le président Gustavo Petro a déclaré l'état d'urgence, un décret qui sera effectif pour 90 jours avec possibilité de prolongation jusqu'à 270 jours, précise El espectador dans son édition du jour, mais le président colombien aura besoin de l'aval du Parlement s'il veut prolonger.Pour Semana qui cite des sources gouvernementales, l'état d'urgence ne s'appliquera pas à tout le territoire mais « dans les municipalités les plus touchées du nord de Santander en raison des affrontements entre l'ELN et les dissidents des FARC. »« C'est un caprice pour gouverner par décret », fustige l'opposition dans El espectador. La sénatrice María Fernanda Cabal du Centre Démocratique estime que « la situation dans la région du Catatumbo autour du contrôle de la production de cocaïne a été créée par le président lui-même. »

Immigrant Workers Say They are Essential, Donald Trump Is Not in the Fight for Their Lives with Nadia Molina, Co-Ex. Director of the National Day Laborers Organizing network (NDLON) Molina talks about improving the lives of day laborers, migrants and low-wage workers and building leadership and power among those facing injustice so they can challenge inequality and expand labor, civil and political rights for all. NDLON aspires to live in a world of diverse communities where day laborers live with full rights and responsibilities in an environment of mutual respect, peace, harmony and justice.

For years before the coronavirus hit, Sergio Armas hustled to support his parents back home in Nicaragua. By day, he helped manage a small housekeeping business in San Francisco. At night, he served dinners at a popular Italian restaurant with views of the Golden Gate Bridge.The family breadwinner from afar, he typically wired his parents $300 every month for food, electricity and medicine. His father, 82, is blind and has heart problems. His mother, 68, has a neuromuscular disease and can't walk without getting winded. They rely on his support to survive.But it's been more than two months since Armas, 33, got his last paycheck — and two months since he wired them cash. “I'm the only one with the opportunity to help my family, and I can do nothing right now.”Sergio Armas, immigrant“I'm the only one here. I'm the only one with the opportunity to help my family, and I can do nothing right now,” he said recently. “I'm so worried about it. That's my main concern in this moment.”Immigrants across the globe share his worries. In normal times, millions of small financial transactions take place daily worldwide when immigrants wire a portion of their earnings to loved ones back home. Last year, these remittances totaled more than $550 billion, according to the World Bank. This year, the economic crisis is wrecking that cash flow. Worldwide, remittances are expected to fall a staggering 20% this year — plummeting by about $100 billion, according to a recent report by the World Bank.  “That is going to rupture an important lifeline to a large number of people,” said Dilip Ratha a lead economist at the World Bank on migration and remittances.Hundreds of millions will feel the financial hit in countries such as India, China, Mexico and the Philippines, which rely heavily on remittances from expats overseas. The economic ripple effects will also extend to smaller countries, such as those in Central America, along with Kyrgyzstan, South Sudan and Haiti.Related: A California hospital is translating coronavirus information for immigrantsThe fall in remittances is also far greater than the 5% decrease that resulted from the 2009 global recession. The effects of that economic crisis also took longer to hit.“It's not comparable in terms of the magnitude and unexpected loss of work within a couple of days,” said Manuel Orozco, senior director of remittances and development at the Inter-American Dialogue, a Washington, DC-based think tank. “In 2009, some people may have waited three months until they got the news. Here, it was mañana.”In addition, people who receive remittances typically have no other safety net. “People will not be able to compensate for it by just borrowing from some friends. They will have to cut their consumption of food and they will have to suffer.”Dilip Ratha, economist at the World Bank“People will not be able to compensate for it by just borrowing from some friends,” Ratha said. “They will have to cut their consumption of food, and they will have to suffer.”For Armas, receiving federal aid or unemployment benefits from the US government could help him keep his family in Nicaragua from suffering. But he cannot access that help because he does not have a Social Security number yet — a requirement for such relief. He was on the verge of receiving his green card, and thus his SSN when the pandemic hit and disrupted US immigration services.For now, Armas, like many undocumented immigrants, pays taxes using an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, or ITIN, which the Internal Revenue Service issues to people who are ineligible for a Social Security number. People using an ITIN are excluded from the $1,200 check most Americans get under the $2.2 trillion stimulus bill passed by Congress in March. So are their spouses and children — whether or not they are US-born — if they file taxes jointly as a household.These restrictions anger Francisco Silva, Armas' husband. Though Silva is a US citizen, he is ineligible for relief under the stimulus bill since he and Armas file taxes together.“If you're paying taxes, if you are helping out the economy of this country, you should be OK to receive help,” Silva said. “But blocking that? I think it's really discriminatory.”The pair lives together in a working-class part of Richmond, just across the Bay Bridge from San Francisco, but a world away from the area's glitzy tech scene.California recently became the first state in the country to pledge financial aid for undocumented residents affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. It set aside $75 million to support them. A conservative group, the Center for American Liberty, is now legally challenging the funding, arguing that the funds will be administered by nonprofits that are not controlled by the state and that providing unemployment benefits to undocumented immigrants is unlawful.Related: Immigrants in US detention fear spread of coronavirusNationwide, immigrant advocates are raising funds to fill the gap as well, including the National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON) based in Pasadena, California. The organization has launched a funding campaign that prioritizes assisting workers over 60 years old and with underlying conditions that make them more vulnerable to the coronavirus.Angela Sanbrano, NDLON's co-executive director, said it is a mistake to deny relief to certain immigrants. “This situation affects all of us,” she said. “If people do not see that connection, then we are in serious trouble.”  She pointed to a fact made by many economists: When people such as Armas can no longer send cash back to their relatives, those relatives may be forced to leave their homes in order to survive. “It will create a situation where people are going to say, well, I'm going to come to the United States, too,” Sanbrano said.Related: US deportation flights risk spreading coronavirus globallyThese days, Armas finds solace in his garden filled with tomato vines, budding passion fruit and newly planted mint. Pink and purple petunias border a small lawn, which also contains his grill and a patio strung with small light bulbs. He calls his mother every day. She says it's hot in Nicaragua, nearly 100 degrees. On a recent call, she sat in a wooden rocking chair holding a damp washcloth to keep cool and to swat away mosquitoes.“How are things there?” he asked her. “What do you want me to tell you?” she responded. “ Prices are rising. Rice, beans, salt, sugar — all more expensive.”After the call, Sergio took a moment to compose himself. “It's really hard to just think that I don't know what can happen with them. Expensive medicine, expensive everything over there."Sergio Armas, immigrant“It's really complicated. It's really hard for me,” he said. “It's really hard to just think that I don't know what can happen with them. Expensive medicine, expensive everything over there."As a stopgap, to help his parents, he is maxing out a credit card that he lets them use in Nicaragua. His husband is helping, too, but now his job is looking shaky. On Fridays, Armas visits church down the street for a free lunch. And he's up most nights worrying. “It's like 4 a.m., and I cannot sleep, thinking about what can I do. What I will do tomorrow?” he said.Two weeks ago, Armas finished building a new addition to one corner of the yard: an altar to the Virgin Mary. He arranged a portrait of her framed by white lattice and flowers. At night, he visits the altar and prays. “I watch the sky, and say thank you for everything,” he said. “Good things and bad things.” Armas knows he's not alone. Nearly all of his friends are going through the same thing — and so are all the families connected to them in other parts of the world.

In the early 2000s, Yunuen Bonaparte and her family had no choice but to leave Mexico for the United States. “There were times when we had to eat — how do you say it — old tortillas, like they get hard,” she said. “You just had to like warm them up, like eating tostadas and my mom would have a garden in the backyard, because there was times that there wasn’t enough for us to have meals,” she said of trying to survive in her home country. Bonaparte arrived in Los Angeles when she was 12 and grappled with the trauma and hardship of living in the United States as an undocumented immigrant. Becoming a DACA recipient enabled her to get an education and now she’s a photojournalist who recently exhibited a series of photos about other Dreamers and their stories. Bonaparte talks with Erica Mu for the Alhambra Source’s inaugural podcast about her immigration journey, paying her way through school, the untold stories of undocumented immigration and what others can do to help.
