Deportation policies: An article in the Nov. 26 Section A about deportation policies stated that low-level crimes that are considered deportable offenses can include immigration or traffic violations. According to enforcement policies set by the Department of Homeland Security in 2014, minor traffic offenses and any crime for which an essential element is immigration status are excluded and do not make a person eligible for deportation. Also, the article said that Mayra Machado, who has spent a year in immigration detention, had pleaded guilty to one felony charge involving a forged check 12 years ago, when she was 18. She pleaded guilty to three felony charges in the case: forgery, theft by receiving and failure to appear.

Santa’s Village: An article in the Dec. 3 California section about the reopening of Santa’s Village near Lake Arrowhead misspelled the last name of park visitor Joey Inigo as Indigo.
