El ICE puede estar en el hospital con un paciente bajo custodia. Pero los detenidos tienen derechos
En julio, agentes federales de inmigración llevaron a Milagro Solís-Portillo al Glendale Memorial Hospital, en las afueras de Los Ángeles, luego que sufriera una emergencia médica estando detenida. Nunca se fueron del hospital. Durante dos semanas, contratistas del Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE) hicieron guardia en el vestíbulo del hospital las 24 horas del día. Se tomaron turnos para vigilar sus movimientos, contó Ming Tanigawa-Lau, la abogada de Solís-Portillo. Luego, el ICE trasladó a la mujer salvadoreña al Anaheim Global Medical Center, en contra de las indicaciones médicas y sin dar ninguna explicación, según dijo la abogada. Tanigawa-Lau contó que allí les permitieron a los agentes del ICE quedarse dentro de la habitación de Solís-Portillo todo el tiempo, escuchando conversaciones entre la paciente y el personal médico que deberían haber sido privadas. Solís-Portillo le dijo a su abogada que los agentes la presionaron para que dijera que estaba lo suficientemente bien como para salir del hospital, advirtiéndole que no podría comunicarse ni con su familia ni con su abogada hasta que aceptara irse. “Me lo describió como una situación en la que sentía que la estaban torturando”, enfatizó Tanigawa-Lau. Expertos legales explican que los agentes del ICE pueden estar en áreas públicas de un hospital, como el vestíbulo, y pueden acompañar a pacientes que ya están detenidos mientras reciben atención médica, lo que refleja el alcance de la autoridad federal. Sin embargo, los pacientes detenidos tienen derechos y pueden tratar de defenderse por sí mismos o buscar ayuda legal. Este año, California destinó $25 millones para financiar servicios legales para inmigrantes, y algunas jurisdicciones locales -incluidos el condado de Orange, Long Beach y San Francisco- también han asignado fondos para iniciativas de ayuda legal. El Departamento de Servicios Sociales de California enumera algunas organizaciones sin fines de lucro que han recibido estos fondos. Sophia Genovese, abogada supervisora y profesora clínica en la Facultad de Derecho de Georgetown, explicó que los agentes del orden, incluidos los agentes federales de inmigración, pueden custodiar e incluso mantener esposada a una persona bajo su custodia mientras recibe atención médica. Pero deben cumplir con las leyes constitucionales y de privacidad médica, sin importar el estatus migratorio del paciente. Según esas normas, los pacientes pueden pedir hablar en privado con los proveedores médicos y tener acceso confidencial a asesoría legal, explicó Genovese. “ICE debe ubicarse fuera de la habitación o fuera del alcance auditivo durante cualquier conversación entre el paciente y su doctor o proveedor de salud”, dijo Genovese, y agregó que lo mismo aplica a las comunicaciones con abogados. “Eso es lo que se supone que deben hacer”. Guías de ICE En cuanto a la comunicación y las visitas, las normas del ICE establecen que los detenidos deben tener acceso a un teléfono y poder recibir visitas de familiares y amigos, “dentro de las limitaciones operativas y de seguridad”. Sin embargo, Genovese dijo que esas pautas no se exigen por ley. Si los agentes de inmigración arrestan a una persona sin una orden judicial, deben informarle el motivo de la detención y, por lo general, no pueden retenerla más de 48 horas sin tomar una decisión formal sobre su custodia. Un juez federal concedió recientemente una orden de restricción temporal en un caso en el que un hombre llamado Bayron Rovidio Marín fue vigilado por agentes de inmigración en un hospital de Los Ángeles durante 37 días sin que se le presentaran cargos. En el pasado, si se percibían violaciones por parte de los agentes, se podían reportar a las oficinas locales del ICE, a la sede de la agencia o a organismos de supervisión, explicó Genovese. Pero este año el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS) redujo el personal de las oficinas del ombudsman que investigan denuncias por violaciones a los derechos civiles, argumentando que esas oficinas “obstruían la aplicación de las leyes migratorias al agregar trabas burocráticas”. Tricia McLaughlin, secretaria adjunta de asuntos públicos del DHS, dijo que los agentes arrestaron a Marín por estar en el país ilegalmente y que él mismo admitió su estatus migratorio ante los agentes del ICE. McLaughlin dijo que lo llevaron al hospital luego de que se lastimara una pierna mientras intentaba escapar de los oficiales federales durante una redada. McLaughlin señaló que los agentes no le impidieron comunicarse con su familia ni usar el teléfono. “Todos los detenidos tienen acceso a teléfonos que pueden usar para comunicarse con sus familias y abogados”, agregó. McLaughlin calificó como “activista” a la jueza que emitió la orden de restricción temporal. No respondió a preguntas sobre los recortes de personal en las oficinas del ombudsman. El DHS también dijo que Solís-Portillo estaba en el país sin autorización. Según el departamento, había sido expulsada de Estados Unidos en dos ocasiones y había sido arrestada por los delitos de uso de identificación falsa, robo y entrada en una vivienda ilegalmente. “El ICE se toma muy en serio su compromiso de ofrecer entornos seguros, protegidos y humanos para quienes están bajo nuestra custodia”, dijo McLaughlin. “Desde que una persona entra bajo custodia del ICE, es práctica de larga data proveer atención médica integral, lo que incluye acceso a citas médicas y atención de emergencia las 24 horas”. Protecciones en California El Anaheim Global Medical Center no respondió a un pedido de comentarios. En un comunicado, Dignity Health, que opera el Glendale Memorial Hospital, afirmó que “legalmente no puede restringir la presencia de personal de seguridad o agentes del orden en áreas públicas, lo que incluye el vestíbulo o las salas de espera del hospital”. En septiembre, California aprobó una ley que prohíbe a los establecimientos médicos permitir la entrada de agentes federales a áreas privadas -incluyendo espacios donde los pacientes reciben atención o discuten temas de salud- si no presentan una orden de cateo o un mandato judicial válido. Sin embargo, muchas de las noticias más destacadas sobre la presencia de agentes de migración en centros de salud han involucrado a pacientes detenidos que fueron trasladados para recibir atención. Erika Frank, vicepresidenta de asesoría legal de la California Hospital Association, dijo que los hospitales siempre han recibido personas detenidas que necesitan atención médica por parte de las autoridades, incluidos agentes federales. Según Jan Emerson-Shea, vocera de la asociación, son las autoridades quienes deciden si un paciente necesita ser vigilado todo el tiempo. Si un agente del orden escucha información médica mientras está presente en el hospital, eso no constituye una violación de la privacidad del paciente, agregó. “Legalmente, no es diferente de que otro paciente o visitante escuche información sobre alguien en una cama cercana o en una sala de emergencias”, dijo Emerson-Shea en un comunicado. No respondió si los pacientes pueden exigir privacidad con el personal médico o con sus abogados, y señaló que los hospitales no informan a familiares o amigos sobre la ubicación del paciente detenido, por razones de seguridad. Sandy Reding, presidenta de la California Nurses Association, visitó las instalaciones de Glendale cuando Solís-Portillo estuvo internada. Contó que tanto enfermeras como pacientes se sintieron intimidados al ver agentes de inmigración con máscaras en el vestíbulo del hospital. Dijo que los vio sentados detrás del escritorio donde se registran los pacientes, desde donde podían escuchar conversaciones sobre información médica privada. “Los hospitales solían ser un lugar seguro, y ahora ya no lo son”, dijo. “Y parece que el ICE actúa sin restricciones”. La Junta de Supervisores del Condado de Los Ángeles tiene previsto votar el 18 de noviembre una propuesta para brindar mayor protección a las personas detenidas en centros de salud administrados por el condado. Estas medidas incluyen limitar la capacidad de los funcionarios de inmigración para ocultar la identidad de los pacientes, permitir que estos den su consentimiento para la divulgación de información a familiares y abogados, e instruir al personal para que exija que los agentes de inmigración abandonen la habitación en determinados momentos para proteger la privacidad de los pacientes. El condado también defenderá a los empleados que intenten hacer cumplir sus políticas. La abogada de Solís-Portillo, Tanigawa-Lau, dijo que su clienta finalmente decidió regresar voluntariamente a El Salvador en lugar de pelear su caso, porque sentía que no podía recibir la atención médica que necesitaba mientras estuviera bajo la custodia del ICE. “Aunque el caso de Milagro es realmente terrible, me alegra que ahora haya más conciencia sobre este tema”, afirmó Tanigawa-Lau.

East Texas cities celebrate holiday season with parades and more local traditions
Editor’s Note: This is one of multiple stories in ETX View’s 2025 November/December Holiday issue that published Nov. 15. To read more stories and view the full digital edition, visit our ETX View homepage. East Texas has a special aura all year long, but its communities really come alive during the holiday season to become a magical place of wonder. From Christmas parades to the lighting of Kilgore’s oil derricks, the cities and towns across the region come together to celebrate the season in a big way each one a little bit unique. Tyler In Tyler, the annual Rose City Christmas Parade is a beloved tradition that residents have enjoyed for decades. This year, a monumental change is in store as the parade will be held at an all-new location. “New year, new location, same Christmas magic,” organizers say, as the parade moves from downtown Tyler to Christus Trinity Mother Frances Rose Stadium. A three-year construction project in downtown Tyler means ongoing road closures, construction equipment and more in the area the parade has called home for so many years. Organized by the city’s four Rotary International Clubs, members say the parade still promises to impress. Set to begin at 6: 30 p. m. Thursday, Dec. 4, the parade will line up on West Houston Street and go west to Fair Park Drive. Parade participants will begin staging at the Railroad Tracks on West Houston Street, but may be requested to stage at a different location based on entry type. The parade will continue onto Fair Park Drive before taking a left into the stadium parking lot and left onto the track around Earl Campbell Field. The parade will exit right into the stadium parking lot before taking a left going west on Fair Park Drive. The parade will continue North on Fair Park Drive to exit and complete the route. Public organizations, bands, and other groups will participate in the highly-anticipated “United For Good”-themed parade sponsored by South Tyler Rotary, Sunrise Rotary, The Rotary Club of Tyler, and the Tyler Food Bank Rotary Club. Like every other year, this year’s parade is expected to be Tyler’s most attended tradition to usher in the holiday season. The parade will feature Santa Claus and be followed by the Rose City Christmas Drone Show, visible from the stadium. Spectators can view the parade by parking or sitting along the parade route for free, but those who wish to sit inside the stadium will need to pay $1 or provide one canned food item. All proceeds and donations will go to the East Texas Food Bank. After the Rose City Christmas Parade, participants are invited to shift from the stadium to the W. T. Brookshire Center to enjoy the City of Tyler’s 40th Annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony. The tree-lighting ceremony, typically held on the downtown square, also had to be relocated this year due to construction. The square has been demolished to make way for a newly designed space. Longview The streets of downtown Longview will be sparkling with dazzling floats and cheery smiles awaiting the Longview AMBUCS Annual Christmas Parade, set for 6: 30 p. m. Thursday, Dec. 6. (If the parade happens to get rained out, it will be held Dec. 9 instead). Organized by AMBUCS, the City of Longview and Downtown Longview, the parade will feature marching bands, floats and an appearance by Santa himself. Food trucks will be on site. The parade route travels through downtown Longview, primarily on Whaley and Methvin streets. It’ll start at the intersection of Whaley and Green streets, moving west along Whaley before it turns south on Harney Street then east on Methvin, where it will conclude at the intersection with N. Third Street. Paradegoers are encouraged to bring chairs, blankets, and their Christmas spirit for this beloved Longview tradition. Kilgore Kilgore will be full of holiday cheer this season. To kick off the season, A Very Derrick Christmas will be held beginning at 5 p. m. Thursday, Nov. 13. The stars atop the city’s oil derricks will be lit at 7 p. m. creating a magically bright and colorful display downtown to last through the holiday season. During this event, downtown Kilgore will be filled with vendors, activities for the kids, entertainment by the Kilgore College Rangerettes and much more. Then from 6 to 9 p. m., the city will hold its Mingle and Jingle, during which downtown stores will stay open after-hours to allow shoppers to grab some deals while supporting the local economy. Kilgore’s 94th annual Christmas Parade is set for 6: 30 p. m. Dec. 2 in the town’s historic downtown center. Dozens and dozens of decorated floats will flood the streets, Santa and Mrs. Claus are expected to appear, and a good time is sure to be had by all. Marshall Marshall has been named one of the 10 most magical Christmas towns in Texas, and for good reason. The city’s annual Wonderland of Lights is definitely worth a visit. An opening ceremony will kick off the festivities Nov. 26, followed by the Christmas parade at 6 p. m. Dec. 6. The city’s Main Street organization will host a variety of themed events throughout late November into December downtown such as an ice rink, Christmas carols, Santa sightings and much more. Gladewater Gladewater Chamber will host the Sounds of Christmas Open House from 5 to 7: 30 p. m. Saturday, Nov. 8 featuring late-night shop hours, kids activities, food trucks and a visit from Mr. Claus. The city’s tree lighting will be held that night at 6 p. m. in downtown historic Gladewater. The city’s Christmas parade is set for 5 p. m. Dec. 13. Gilmer Gilmer is the place ‘yule’ want to be on Dec. 6. The annual Yulefest is an all-day event, beginning with Breakfast with Santa sessions at both 8 a. m. and 9: 30 a. m. (tickets are required). More festivities will be held throughout the day before the annual Yulefest Parade, which is set for 6 p. m. Saturday, Dec. 6. The parade starts heading south on Titus Street, then it’ll take a right and head west on Buffalo. Be sure to make time for the annual tree lighting, held at 6 p. m. Nov. 20 at the Gilmer Civic Center. Hallsville Hallsville’s Christmas parade, organized by the Lions Club, will be held at 6: 30 p. m. Tuesday, Dec. 2. The parade starts on Tex Hatley Parkway then proceeds East on Highway 80 before turning left downtown onto North Central Street, where it ultimately concludes at the Hallsville City Park. The parade will be immediately followed by the Light Up the Park Celebration event, which features the annual tree lighting, pictures with Santa and more. Lindale The 13th annual Christmas in Lindale event is set for Saturday, Dec. 6 with a lineup of activities. Locals can head to Picker’s Pavillion at Blackberry Square, which will be transformed into a winter wonderland, for a Christmas festival set for 1 to 5 p. m. The parade will start to line up at Pepperell Primary School at 5 before officially starting at 5: 30 p. m. at Park Avenue. Athens This year’s Athens Christmas Parade, hosted by the city and Athens Chamber of Commerce, will be held at 6: 30 p. m. Saturday, Dec. 6 with a theme of “Sounds of Christmas.” Bullard Bullard is a special, cozy town year-round but Magic on Main makes the town really feel like a dreamy Hallmark movie. Join the city from 6 to 9 p. m. Friday, Dec. 5 for the start of two days of winter fun in front of Bullard City Hall. The first night will feature an evening filled with fun, food, vendors, shopping, kids activities, free pictures with Santa and of course, the annual Christmas Tree Lighting which is set for 6: 30 p. m. The annual Christmas parade, hosted in partnership with the city and Bullard Chamber of Commerce, returns at 5: 45 p. m. Saturday, leading up to a Movie on Main featuring a Christmas-themed movie at 7: 30 p. m. on the greenbelt in front of city hall (114 S. Phillips St.). Admission is free but attendees are encouraged to bring chairs and blankets. Whitehouse Christmas on Main in Whitehouse is something residents cherish each year. One of the most anticipated events is the free ice skating rink, which will be open from 3 to 7 p. m. Dec. 5 and 9 a. m. to 7 p. m. Dec. 6 at 309 E. Main St. A holiday market will be held in that same location from 9 a. m to 5 p. m. Saturday, Dec. 6, featuring all sorts of fun activities, vendors, food and more. The parade will begin at 3: 30 p. m. with decorated floats, marching bands, local organizations and businesses and much more. Find a place to park and sit or bring your chairs for a front-row seat and enjoy the show. Jacksonville Jacksonville’s Christmas parade is scheduled for 6 p. m. Thursday, Dec. 4, at 307 E. Commerce St. in Jacksonville. The parade route starts at South Bolton/Commerce and goes to the Tomato Bowl, taking a left on Austin Street then another left on Wilson Street.

Floats could be decorated based on movies like Charlie Brown Christmas, Elf, A Christmas Story, Rudolph, It’s a Wonderful Life, the Grinch, Home Alone and much more.

Jennifer Lawrence on Why She Finds 1 Aspect of Making Movies ‘Scary’
Jennifer Lawrence says that there’s one part of making a movie that never gets easier. It is the wait to see how the audience will react. It has been years since she has been acting in the film industry and has been awarded many times. However, she says the moment a film goes out into the world still brings a fresh wave of anxiety. Jennifer Lawrence talks about waiting for the audience reaction to her movies Jennifer Lawrence is currently starring in a new film with Robert Pattinson, called Die My Love. She reveals that the period between finishing a film and hearing from the viewers is “very scary.” She expressed, “The experience only adds to the dread, because I’ve had so many experiences of working so hard on something, loving something so deeply, and then releasing it to the world, and the world just being like, ‘Boo! Hate you!’ It is so awful. And [yet] somehow, I read a script, I meet with the director, we get on set, we start doing it, and somehow I’m able to forget that this part of the process will happen.” Adding, she said, “I mean, I’m very blessed and very lucky. But it’s a very scary few months. My husband was so confused because he doesn’t have as much experience with this stuff. So I was telling him about my anxiety, and he was like, ‘But the movie’s incredible.’ And I was like, ‘I know, but that doesn’t matter. People might not get it.’ And he was like, ‘But they’re wrong.’ Like, as if that was supposed to make me feel better. The story is adapted from a novel by Ariana Harwicz. It follows a woman’s breakdown after the birth of a child. The actress has spoken publicly about her own struggles with postpartum depression. She feels that the movie touches on things that she considers private, and thus, the press tour for the same had felt odd to her.

New York Sirens 2025-26 PWHL preview: Retool brings star rookies and plenty of questions
Every original six PWHL franchise had to retool on the fly this offseason thanks to the expansion draft process that shook up the league. The New York Sirens’ changes, however, were a bit more deliberate. Sure, they lost top talent forwards Alex Carpenter, Jessie Eldridge and Gabby Rosenthal, and No. 1 goalie Corinne Schroeder to expansion Seattle and Vancouver. But general manager Pascal Daoust also traded forward Abby Roque to the Montreal Victoire in exchange for Kristin O’Neill, and No. 1 defender Ella Shelton to the Toronto Sceptres for the No. 3 pick in the 2025 draft, which turned into Patty Kazmaier winner Casey O’Brien. All this in an effort to shuffle the lineup and give New York a younger, new-look in 2025-26. But the question remains: Did the Sirens do enough? The roster The deadline for PWHL teams to finalize their 23-player rosters is Wednesday, Nov. 19. Strengths The Sirens have pretty clearly defined strengths and weaknesses. Let’s start with the fun part: New York has Sarah Fillier, the absolute best young player in the PWHL and the nucleus of the Sirens’ core. She’s a true double-threat in the offensive zone with elite hockey IQ and playmaking ability, but can also score when the puck is put on her stick. Nobody had more points (29) or assists (16) than Fillier last season. Her 13 goals ranked third. Fillier was named Rookie of the Year and to the PWHL’s First Team All-Stars alongside forwards Marie-Philip Poulin and Hilary Knight. “She had a remarkable impact on the league, and a remarkable impact here on our team,” said coach Greg Fargo. “She set a new standard for rookies.” Some days, Fillier is the second-best forward on the planet. The other player with the claim to that title? Fillier’s former linemate, Carpenter. In New York, Fillier and Carpenter were the best duo in the PWHL, combining on 10 goals in 26 games together. They’re both highly intelligent on the ice with the speed and skill to pull things off that most players couldn’t. As individual players, they each created space and demanded attention from opponents, which made them a nightmare to play against as a pair on a nightly basis. Now Fillier will need to prove she can be as productive without Carpenter centering her line. Last season, New York lost all four games with Carpenter out of the lineup, and Fillier did not score a goal. There are plenty of reasons to believe she’ll be just fine. Fillier and Carpenter clicked right away, but that’s also a credit to the work Fillier put into making a full-time switch to the wing after spending most of her career at center. “No one has more or higher expectations of her than herself; she wants to be the best player in the world,” said Fargo. “And you see that in how she prepares and you see it in how goes about trying to get better.” Fillier is not alone in New York this year, either. If we read into preseason, she’s likely playing beside O’Brien, who could do well in Carpenter’s absence. O’Brien, 24, is coming off a historic final season at the University of Wisconsin with 88 points and 62 assists in 41 games. It was the highest-scoring season in almost a decade, since Carpenter scored 88 for Boston College in 2016. She’s an excellent playmaker and has shown she has easy chemistry with elite wingers such as Kirsten Simms or Daryl Watts at Wisconsin which could make O’Brien the perfect fit beside Fillier. Weaknesses While a retool might have been necessary, the Sirens still lost their best center, best defender and best goalie and several other middle-of-the-lineup players. Frankly, it’s possible the team got worse at every position (at least on paper). With Carpenter (11 goals), Eldridge (9), Roque (8), Jade Downie-Landry (4), Chloé Aurard-Bushee (2) and Élizabeth Giguère (2) all gone, the Sirens have one proven offensive forward in the lineup next season. Outside of Fillier, there’s only one returning forward who scored more than one goal last season: Paetyn Levis. Even Team Canada forward Kristin O’Neill only had one goal last season for Montreal. Top draft picks such as O’Brien, Anne Cherkowski and No. 1 pick Kristýna Kaltounková should add some more skill to the top of the lineup, but New York will be hoping its returning depth forwards such as Elle Hartje, Taylor Girard and Emmy Fecteau can generate a bit more offense this season. Otherwise, the team might be asking too much of its youth movement regardless of how talented they are. On defense, the team traded star Ella Shelton. Yes, they got the No. 3 pick that turned into O’Brien, but that’s a pretty massive subtraction from a blue line that allowed the second-most shots against (859) last season, behind only the Boston Fleet. The rest of the blue line remains intact with the addition of Jincy Roese, who signed from Ottawa this summer, but they will need a collective bounce-back in front of Kayle Osborne, who only started 10 games in the New York crease last season. Captain Micah Zandee-Hart specifically has looked great at Canada camps all summer and could be up for a nice season. And the team appears to have confidence in Osborne, who has worked her way onto Team Canada’s goalie depth chart. But Schroeder (. 924) has one of the best career save percentages among starting goalies in the PWHL over the last two years, behind only Ann-Renee Desbiens in Montreal. That’s a lot of roster churn that has made New York look pretty top-heavy once again. Things might not work out this year retools rarely come together after just one season but we still have to give GM Pascal Daoust some credit for trying something new after two seasons in the basement. The big question What can we expect from No. 1 overall pick Kristýna Kaltounková? If New York isn’t going to repeat the issues of the last two seasons i. e., having only one line or one player who can produce the team is going to need Kaltounková to drive play from the second line. She absolutely has the skill level necessary to do that, and we’ve seen it at Colgate and with Czechia, but some of the roster attrition in New York this summer could complicate things. In preseason, we saw Kaltounková on a line with O’Neill. She’s an excellent, responsible middle-six center. That’s not the same as partnering with the No. 1 pick on a second line. If the plan is to have Fillier, O’Brien and Cherkowski together, it leaves New York one top offensive forward short, at least on paper. Kaltounková is also a rookie and it’s reasonable to expect some kind of learning curve. But, part of New York’s calculus in drafting Kaltounková first overall was the belief that she could make an immediate impact in the PWHL. She has a pro-ready shot, a solid frame (5-foot-9) and a physical edge to the way she plays. In her return to the Czech women’s national team at April’s world championships, Kaltounková tied for the team lead in scoring with four goals and six points, and really put on display to many scouts that her game at the college level can work against the best in the world, too. “I don’t know that there’s anybody in the draft that can shoot or score in the same ways Kalty can,” said Fargo. “When you look at Kalty and what she brings, I think the full package is really going to allow her to translate well to this level.” New York Sirens, NHL, Women’s Hockey 2025 The Athletic Media Company.
