It’s the largest ICE detention center in the state. The company began detaining immigrants there in late August 2025 without acquiring necessary paperwork from California City, contributing to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/justice/2025/11/ice-california-city-detainee-lawsuit/\">legal and community opposition\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to GEO Group’s website, the newly activated Central Valley Annex facility is accredited by the American Correctional Association and the National Commission on Correctional Health Care. It previously housed detainees from the U.S. Marshals Service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE did not immediately respond to a question about whether the facility is now holding both U.S. Marshal and immigrant detainees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The unprecedented growth in people being held in ICE detention centers nationwide has been fueled by an influx of $45 billion delivered through the spending law Trump signed last year that he referred to as the “One Big Beautiful Bill.” The Trump administration is aiming to hold more than 100,000 immigrant detainees on any given day as part of his massive deportation campaign. When he took office in 2025, ICE was holding an average of about 40,000 people per day.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>State oversight of conditions inside\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Carmona-Cruz, the co-executive director of the California Collaborative for Immigrant Justice, said people being sent to Central Valley Annex “are at risk of the same terrible abuses and inhumane conditions that people in the ICE detention center next door have faced for years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years, detainees at the Mesa Verde and Golden State Annex facilities — the others under the same contract as Central Valley Annex — have alleged abuse and dangerous conditions, including medical neglect, \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/capitol/2024/07/detainees-immigrants-labor-rights/\">being paid only $1 a day for labor\u003c/a>, being held in solitary confinement after reporting sexual abuse and inadequate food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to some of those previous allegations, Chris V. Ferreira, the spokesman for GEO Group, has previously told CalMatters that his company “strongly disagrees with these baseless allegations, which are part of a long-standing, politically motivated, and radical campaign to abolish ICE and end federal immigration detention by attacking the federal government’s immigration facility contractors.” He did not immediately respond to a request for comment for this story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The people being sent there are our community members, neighbors, family members,” Carmona-Cruz said. “ICE and GEO Group are incapable of meeting the human needs of the people they detain. ICE detention is not only unjust and unnecessary — it is deadly. Nearly 50 people have died in ICE detention since Trump took office again, and it’s only getting worse.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, the California Attorney General’s Office \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/justice/2025/04/ice-detention-center-investigation/\">released a report\u003c/a> raising concerns about health care inside ICE facilities.

But immigrant advocates, public defenders and others say the state law lacks teeth, arguing that ICE has flouted it without any repercussions so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, a bill working its way through the state Legislature aims to strengthen the ban on courthouse civil arrests and expand protections for people going to and from courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the Judicial Council’s separate new rule, the state’s 58 trial courts starting in June will be required to track and report whether officers identified themselves, presented a warrant or took an individual into custody, as well as the date and location of each incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the move will help state officials understand the scope of the issue, it won’t protect people’s fundamental right to access the courts, said Tina Rosales-Torres, a policy advocate with the Western Center on Law and Poverty who estimates that ICE has conducted hundreds of arrests at California courts since January 2025, when President Donald Trump took office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s a good first step. It is good to have data. I do not think it is sufficient to meet the crisis that we are in,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So it is going to be helpful to kind of see at least a snippet of what is happening,” Rosales-Torres added. “But then what? The Judicial Council hasn’t proposed a solution, and data is only as effective as we use it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigration arrests at California courthouses used to be rare, reserved for cases involving national security or other significant threats.

It’s going to harm people. It’s not going to help anyone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In February, HUD proposed a change to federal housing policy requiring that every person in housing that receives the assistance submit proof of U.S. citizenship or of their eligibility as a noncitizen (as a refugee, asylum seeker or lawful resident). Those unable to do so could be evicted from HUD-supported programs, like public housing or Section 8 vouchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have zero tolerance for pushing aside hardworking U.S. citizens while enabling others to exploit decades-old loopholes,” HUD Secretary Scott Turner said at the time, adding that currently, only about a quarter of eligible Americans have access to HUD resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, a coalition of nearly 20 U.S. cities and counties, including San Francisco, Oakland and Marin County, also submitted a comment opposing the change, warning it would destabilize affordable housing operations.

During tax season, it’s usually filled with customers too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this year has been slower than normal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bell used to be ringing off the hook, says Valencia, with lines out the door. She and her son would fit walk-ins between appointments, trying to keep wait times under an hour. But today, “it’s empty,” Valencia says. “They have to wait nothing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valencia, who has been doing immigration and tax services for over 20 years, says around 80% of her clients file with an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, the tax number used by people — like undocumented immigrants — who don’t qualify for a Social Security number.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, business isn’t just slow; it’s the worst she’s ever seen.

This year, H.R. 1, also known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, \u003ca href=\"https://lulac.org/impact_of_hr_1_one_big_beautiful_bill_act_on_immigrants_and_children_of_immigrants_who_are_us_citizens/\">tightened restrictions\u003c/a> on ITIN filers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the biggest changes for undocumented taxpayers as a result of H.R. 1’s passage includes restrictions on the \u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/child-tax-credit\">Additional Child Tax Credit\u003c/a>, which previously allowed many mixed‑status families to receive thousands of dollars back.

The House passed the sweeping tax and spending bill after winning over fiscal hawks and moderate Republicans. The bill makes permanent President Donald Trump’s 2017 tax cuts, increases spending on defense and immigration enforcement and temporarily cuts taxes on tips, while at the same time, cutting funding for Medicaid, food assistance for the poor, clean energy and raises the nation’s debt limit by $5 trillion. \u003ccite>(Kevin Dietsch/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Many of Valencia’s clients are long-term customers. The tax business is built on trust, she says. This year, before accepting any work, Valencia feels an ethical obligation to tell clients the bad news that their refunds will be smaller, and maybe nonexistent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A mixed-status household could, in a normal year, expect to receive around $2,000 in the Additional Child Tax Credit. But this year, they’re lucky to get $500, she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valencia says the reaction to this information has been immediate. Prospective customers tell her: “You know what? I’m not going to file because I’m not getting any refund. So what’s the point of doing taxes?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As an undocumented immigrant, having proof of taxes is important.

Most of her clients are documented, Vigil says in Spanish, but status doesn’t seem to be the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re afraid to leave their homes because there are so many raids, and they’re scared they’ll be detained and deported,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigration enforcement agents have been active in that region, and her customers are afraid they’ll be picked up because they’re Latino, even if they are here legally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They weren’t going out at all before, and now they only go out for the bare minimum,” says Vigil, which doesn’t seem to include leaving the house to file taxes this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘There’s nothing for you’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Claudia, an undocumented immigrant from Mexico, sits wringing her hands in her lap.

In these decades, her work has ebbed and flowed, sometimes working multiple jobs at once. These days, Claudia is lucky to have her name called a few times a week. Regardless of workflow, she files her taxes every year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet it’s not just around tax season that she pays, Claudia explains in Spanish. “You pay taxes on what you earn, on what you buy, on everything you consume in this country,” Claudia says. “But you can’t get anything back from it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12030566\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1993px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12030566\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/taxes041511_qed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1993\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/taxes041511_qed.jpg 1993w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/taxes041511_qed-800x535.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/taxes041511_qed-1020x682.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/taxes041511_qed-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/taxes041511_qed-1536x1027.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/taxes041511_qed-1920x1284.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1993px) 100vw, 1993px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Current federal tax forms are distributed at the offices of the Internal Revenue Service on Nov. 1, 2005, in Chicago, Illinois. \u003ccite>(Scott Olson/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Claudia keeps filing year after year in the hope that one day she’ll have a pathway to documentation that would let her visit her family in Mexico, find work more easily and live with no fear about status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You hold onto the hope that, in the future, you’ll be able to do things the right way,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But after over 20 years of filing, her hope toward legalization only seems to be dwindling. “In the end, there’s nothing there for you, is there?” she asks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Claudia still sees no pathway to legal status and receives no Social Security benefits, no MediCal — and this year, for the first time, she was told she’ll receive no credits back for her son, who is a U.S. citizen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her voice grows soft. “So, what’s the point in paying?” she asks. “There’s no hope for someone like me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Claudia says she went back and forth in her head, deciding if this would be the year she broke her commitment to a stable future here.

For the majority of that time, he worked at a lumber company and filed his taxes consistently. Filing always felt like a no‑brainer, he says — part of his civic responsibility, even without legal status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He always considered himself a rule follower. “After all, that’s how the country keeps running,” he says. “But lately, I’ve changed my tune.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many undocumented immigrants across the state, Velasco fears being seen in public, afraid he’ll be picked up and deported. He says he feels at odds with the federal government and has begun questioning why he should contribute to a system he believes wants him gone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It doesn’t exactly give you the desire to comply,” he says. “Yet when it comes to collecting taxes, [the government] certainly want to do that, don’t they?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Velasco no longer files.

The bill makes permanent President Donald Trump’s 2017 tax cuts, increases spending on defense and immigration enforcement and temporarily cuts taxes on tips, while at the same time, cutting funding for Medicaid, food assistance for the poor, clean energy and raises the nation’s debt limit by $5 trillion. \u003ccite>(Kevin Dietsch/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Many of Valencia’s clients are long-term customers.

"info": "The MindShift podcast explores the innovations in education that are shaping how kids learn. Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
