The Trump administration took office promising an immigration crackdown. Changes visible in the Salt Lake City court include policies around asylum, fewer judges and fliers encouraging self-deportation.

El ambiente afuera del Salt Lake City and County Building, y más tarde en las calles, era desafiante y ardiente. Formaba parte del “Paro Nacional”, en el que la gente se negó a trabajar o a comprar para manifestarse contra las tácticas migratorias de ICE y el gobierno federal.

Estados Unidos nunca ha exigido que sus ciudadanos lleven documentos, pero es posible que algún día se les pida a quienes viven en Utah demostrar su ciudadanía para poder votar y evitar ser detenidos por agentes de inmigración.

The mood outside the Salt Lake City and County Building, and later on the streets, was defiant and fiery. It was part of the “National Shutdown,” where people refused to work or shop to demonstrate against ICE’s immigration tactics and the federal government.

Dozens of the 575 federally recognized Native American tribes are making it easier to get tribal IDs by waiving fees, lowering the age of eligibility and printing cards on the spot. As Native Americans rush to secure the documents, many see a bitter irony in the first people of the land having to prove that they too are U.S. citizens.

The U.S. has never required citizens to carry papers, but it's possible Utahns could someday be asked to prove their citizenship to vote and to avoid detention by immigration agents.

No está claro si los detenidos locales permanecerían cerca si es que se construye un centro de detención en Utah, del que se rumorea. En este momento, ICE traslada a las personas fuera del estado, lo que dificulta que los abogados y sus seres queridos se mantengan en contacto.

It’s unclear if local detainees would remain local if and when a rumored Utah detention center is built. Right now, ICE takes people out of state, making it harder for attorneys and loved ones to stay in contact.

The altercation occurred Friday night at a private party hosted by the talent agency CAA. Frost is thanking venue security and police for their help. The suspect, identified as Christian Young, reportedly crashed the party.

Salt Lake City no tiene un acuerdo formal con ICE. Aun así, algunos residentes quieren cosas como una resolución de oposición o exigir órdenes judiciales válidas antes de permitir que agentes federales ingresen a propiedades de la ciudad.

Utah aún no tiene un centro de detención, así que los inmigrantes son retenidos en algunas cárceles de condados y trasladados en automóvil —o en avión— a otros estados. El viernes hubo una protesta contra un rumorado centro de detención en Salt Lake City.

Salt Lake City does not have a formal agreement with ICE. Even so, some residents want things like a resolution of opposition or requiring valid warrants before allowing federal agents on city property.
