MORE THAN 20 MILLION PEOPLE ARE ESTIMATED TO HAVE BEEN IMPACTED BY MONDAY'S EARTHQUAKES IN SOUTHERN TURKEY AND NORTHERN SYRIA.

SURVIVORS ARE STRUGGLING TO COPE WITHOUT FOOD, SHELTER, OR HEAT.

THE ISLAMIC COMMUNITY IN SAN DIEGO WAS RALLYING TO HELP.

CLAIRE STRONG WENT TO MEET SOME OF THEM.

>> Reporter: SINCE MONDAY'S DEVASTATING EARTHQUAKES IN TURKEY AND SYRIA, THIS MAN THAT VOLUNTEERS AT THE ISLAMIC CENTER IN SAN DIEGO HAS BEEN WORKING HARD TO HELP THOSE IMPACTED.

>> Reporter: THE NEED CRUMBLED NEIGHBORHOODS, SIGNS OF LIFE ON TOP OF PILES OF DEBRIS.

RESCUERS TEAR AND CARRY A CHILD TO MEDICAL HELP.

THESE TWO CHILDREN AND OTHER SURVIVORS ARE FREED FROM THE TANGLE OF STEEL AND CONCRETE.

SOME OF THESE AREAS ARE CONTROLLED BY ANTIGOVERNMENT REBELS.

THE EIGHT AGENCIES ARE ESPECIALLY WORRIED.

IT IS HOME TO MORE THAN 4 MILLION PEOPLE ALREADY RELYING ON HUMANITARIAN HELP.

>> WITH THE DEVASTATION AND NOW THIS CRISIS ON TOP OF IT IT IS THE PERFECT STORM THAT NOBODY EVER WISHED FOR.

>> Reporter: ANOTHER WORRY.

AS COLD SETTLES IN MANY SURVIVORS ARE NOW HOMELESS AND FACING FREEZING TEMPERATURES.

THERE IS ORGANIZED CHAOS AT THE COLLECTION CENTER.

FOOD, WATER, AND OTHER NECESSITIES ARE STACKED HIGH BUT IT IS NOT ENOUGH.

HOSPITALS ARE OVERLOADED AND THE WIDESPREAD DAMAGE CAUSED A TEMPORARY DISRUPTION TO THE UNITED NATIONS ONLY CROSSING TO DELIVER AID INTO SYRIA.

>> THEY HAD STOPPED CROSS- BORDER AID TO MILLIONS OF CIVILIANS THAT ARE OUT IN THE COLD.

>>> THE UNITED STATES HAS DEPORTED THOUSANDS OF MILITARY VETERANS THAT WERE NOT BORN HERE.

SOME OF THOSE VETERANS ARE NOW BEING ALLOWED TO RETURN TO THE U.S. AS JOHN CARROLL SHOWS US, TWO OF THEM BECAME CITIZENS TODAY.

>> Reporter: AND A FIFTH FLOOR CONFERENCE ROOM IN THE DOWNTOWN OFFICES OF THE U.S.

CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION SERVICES, A CEREMONY FOR TWO VETERANS WHO SERVED THE COUNTRY BUT THEN GOT DEPORTED.

THE RETIRED DISTRICT DIRECTOR OF THE SAN DIEGO OFFICE, DEBORAH ROGERS, QUOTED FROM A POEM IN HER OPENING REMARKS.

>> THE FREEDOM OF MAN IN MIND IS NOTHING BUT A DREAM.

THEY ARE RIGHT IT IS THE AMERICAN DREAM.

>> Reporter: THE AMERICAN DREAM COME TRUE AT LAST FOR THESE ARMY VETERANS.

ROGERS DETAILED THEIR SERVICE.

CONTRERAS, WHO JOINED IN 1976 AT THE AGE OF 17 , SERVED FOR A YEAR AND WAS HONORABLY DISCHARGED.

HERNANDEZ SERVED FROM 2000 TO 2006 DOING TOURS IN AFGHANISTAN, WINNING NUMEROUS METALS.

ROGERS ADMINISTERED THE OATH OF CITIZENSHIP.

AFTER RECEIVING THE NATURALIZATION CERTIFICATES, CONTRERAS AND HERNANDES SPOKE ABOUT WHAT THIS MEANS TO THEM.

>> I FEEL VERY BLESSED AND HAPPY TO BE BACK ON AMERICAN SOIL.

>> WE DID ALL THOSE THINGS FOR YOU ALL AS WELL, BUT YOU WOULD NOT HAVE TO.

THAT IS WHY MANY PEOPLE COULD NOT WALK IN MY SHOES BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE SELF-SERVING.

WE ARE NOT.

WE ARE SERVANTS OF THE PEOPLE.

>> IT WAS A VERY HAPPY FEELING WITH A LOT OF BUTTERFLIES AND A LOT OF HAPPINESS.

I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT WAS HAPPENING.

>> ANYBODY THAT IS WILLING TO LAY DOWN MY LIFE, THEIR SANITY, AND GIVE UP EVERYTHING THEY HOLD DEAR FOR AMERICAN FREEDOM SHOULD BE EVENTUALLY AT ONE POINT IN THEIR LIFE CONSIDERED A U.S. CITIZEN, BECOME A U.S. CITIZEN AND HAVE THOSE SAME RIGHTS THAT AMERICAN CITIZENS THAT WE FIGHT FOR HALF.

>> Reporter: NOW THEY DO.

JOHN CARROLL, KPBS NEWS.

>> DEPORTATIONS OF NONCITIZENS CYLINDERS MILITARY MEMBERS STARTED AFTER THE ACT THAT WAS PASSED IN 1996.

UNDER THIS BIDEN ADMINISTRATION INITIATIVE MORE THAN 50 VETERANS HAVE RETURNED SO FAR.

>>> FOR THE FIRST TIME THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT IS SAYING THEY WILL NOT SUPPORT THE REMAIN IN MEXICO PROGRAM THAT FORCES ASYLUM-SEEKERS TO LIVE IN THE COUNTRY WHILE THEIR CASES ARE ADJUDICATED.

IT ONLY WORKS IF MEXICO IS ON BOARD.

>> Reporter: THE DIRECTOR OF THE TIJUANA MIGRANT SERVICES DEPARTMENT SAID TRUMP ERA PROGRAMS LIKE REMAIN IN MEXICO AND TITLE 42 CREATED A HUMANITARIAN CRISIS AT THE BORDER.

>> [ SPEAKING NON-ENGLISH ] >> BOTH PROGRAMS ALLOW THE U.S. TO TURN PEOPLE AWAY AT THE BORDER INSTEAD OF DEPORTING THEM BACK TO THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN.

IT ONLY WORKS IF MEXICO AGREES TO ACCEPT MIGRANTS FROM OTHER COUNTRIES.

SO FAR MEXICO HAS TAKEN IN MIGRANTS FROM COUNTRIES LIKE HONDURAS, HAITI, VENEZUELA, CUBA, AND GUATEMALA.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME MEXICO HAS PUBLICLY PUSHED BACK ON THE ARRANGEMENT.

IT COULD BE THE BEGINNING OF THE END FOR REMAIN IN MEXICO AND TITLE 42 BUT IT IS A LITTLE BIT TOO EARLY TO TELL.

>> [ SPEAKING NON-ENGLISH ] >> Reporter: HE PLANS TO WAIT AND SEE HOW THE U.S. REACTS TO THIS FORMAL OPPOSITION.

THE U.S. COULD PUT EVEN MORE PRESSURE ON MEXICO TO KEEP PLAYING BALL OR IT COULD MEAN THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN PLANS TO FINALLY TERMINATE THE PROGRAMS.

ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE BORDER, ADVOCATES DESCRIBE THE NEWS AS TOO LITTLE TOO LATE.

>> IT'S A LONG TIME COMING.

IT SHOULD HAPPEN THE STANCE FROM THE BEGINNING.

>> Reporter: THAT WAS PITTER WITH THE AMERICAN FRIENDS SERVICE COMMITTEE.

IT'S 1000S OF MIGRANTS WERE FORCED TO RETURN TO MEXICO AND WERE KIDNAPPED, ASSAULTED, AND EVEN MURDERED.

THEY CRITICIZED MEXICO FOR WAITING TOO LONG TO OPPOSE REMAIN IN MEXICO.

HE WANTS TO SEE A SIMILAR OPPOSITION TO TITLE 42.

>> IT SHOULD BE THE SAME STANCE THEY ARE TAKING ON THE REMAIN IN MEXICO PROGRAM.

WITH TITLE 42 WE ARE SEEING THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THAT ARE BEING EXPELLED FROM THE U.S. WITH DUE PROCESS RIGHTS NOT BEEN RECOGNIZED.

>>> PRESIDENT BIDEN'S MESSAGE A GOUT GUN VIOLENCE DURING THE STATE OF THE UNION RESONATED WITH COLLEGE STUDENTS WHO HAVE BEEN IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

THIS WEEK.

A GROUP OF STUDENTS HAS BEEN THERE TO LOBBY FOR SUPPORT AND MORE FUNDING FOR HIGHER EDUCATION, BUT THE STUDENT PRESIDENT OF MIRAMAR COLLEGE SAID IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT MONEY AND NOT JUST ABOUT HIGHER EDUCATION.

>> PEOPLE GOING TO COLLEGE RIGHT NOW OR EVEN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND HIGH SCHOOL THESE KIDS WILL GROW UP TO BE THE FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY.

I THINK IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR THEM TO HAVE A SAFE SPACE TO LEARN AND FOR THEM TO HAVE A STRESS-FREE ENVIRONMENT SO THEY CAN SUCCEED TO THE BEST OF THEIR ABILITIES.

>> THE STUDENT DELEGATES WATCH THE SPEECH FROM THEIR HOTEL ROOM LAST NIGHT.

THEY ARE HEADED BACK TO SAN DIEGO THIS EVENING.

>>> OUTDOOR DINING IS ONE OF THE WAYS RESTAURANTS DATAFLOW DURING THE PANDEMIC.

NOW MONEY IS AVAILABLE TO KEEP IT GOING.

THE CITY IS MAKING GRANTS AVAILABLE UP TO $20,000 TO ALLOW BUSINESSES TO COVER PERMITED AND OTHER COSTS TO STAY IN COMPLIANCE WITH CITY ROLES.

BUSINESSES AND LOW OR MODERATE INCOME LOCATIONS HAVE PRIORITY.

>>> THE IRS SAYS SOME PEOPLE NEED TO WAIT TO FILE THEIR TAXES THIS YEAR.

THAT IS BECAUSE THE STATE RELIEF CHECKS GIVEN OUT IN 2022.

WITH A CAT WHO WILL NEED TO INCLUDE THE MIDDLE-CLASS TAX REFUND ON THEIR TAX RETURNS.

>> Reporter: MANY CALIFORNIA TAXPAYERS GOT MIDDLE-CLASS TAX REFUNDS LAST YEAR IN AMOUNTS RANGING FROM $200-$1050.

A TAX ACCOUNTANT TELLS ME IT HAS CAUSED ISSUES WITH TAX FILINGS.

>> WHAT'S COME UP IS THE QUESTIONS ABOUT IS A TAXABLE IN THE FEDERAL LEVEL BECAUSE IT IS NOT TAXABLE IN THE STATE LEVEL OF CALIFORNIA.

>> Reporter: THE FRANCHISE TAX BOARD SAID THEY SENT OUT OR THAN 6 MILLION 1099 FORMS TO PEOPLE THAT GOT AT LEAST $600.

THE IRS SAID TAX FILERS THAT GOT THE STATE PAYMENT AND THE 1099S SHOULD WAIT TO FILE THEIR TAX RETURNS.

IN A STATEMENT THEY SAID THEY ARE WORKING WITH STATE TAX OFFICIALS TO GET MORE INFORMATION AND CLARITY TO TAXPAYERS THIS WEEK.

ALVAREZ SAYS HIS OFFICE IS GETTING A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THE FORMS.

>> PEOPLE ARE COMING IN WITH THESE NOTICES.

THE FIRST THING I TELL THEM IS DON'T CONCERN YOURSELF TOO MUCH .

IF IT IS TAXABLE IT IS NOT A GAME CHANGER.

IT IS JUST A SMALL AMOUNT.

>> Reporter: HE SAID HIS FIRM AND MANY OTHERS ARE TAKING THE POSITION THAT THE REFUND IN ANY AMOUNT IS NONTAXABLE AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL.

>> YOU ARE TALKING MILLIONS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE ALREADY FILED ARE NOW GOING TO HAVE TO GET THAT CORRECTED.

>> Reporter: SOME CALIFORNIANS ARE STILL WAITING FOR THEIR REFUNDS.

IN THIS CASE IT IS ACTUALLY NOT A BAD THING.

ANYBODY THAT CAUGHT THE PAYMENT ON JANUARY FIRST OR LATER WON'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT IT UNTIL NEXT YEAR.

THE FILING DEADLINE FOR MOST TAXPAYERS IS TO SAY, APRIL 18.

THAT IS A LITTLE BIT LATER THAN USUAL THANKS TO A WEEKEND AT A FEDERAL HOLIDAY.

>>> SAN DIEGO RESEARCHERS HAVE IDENTIFIED A NEW SPECIES OF FISH IN DEEP OCEAN WATERS NEAR COSTA RICA.

ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTER ERIC ANDERSON SHOWS US HOW AND UNDERWATER VIDEO AND SOME DETECTIVE WORK LED TO THE DISCOVERY.

>> Reporter: RESEARCHERS WERE LOOKING FOR LARGESS AND MUSCLES WHEN THEY SET A ROBOTIC SUBMARINE 6000 FEET UNDER THE OCEAN'S SURFACE.

THIS IS THE COLLECTION MANAGER AT THE SCRIPPS INSTITUTE OF OCEANOGRAPHY.

>> METHANE IS COMING UP AT FROM THE SEAFLOOR AND ITS SLIGHTLY HIGHER TEMPERATURE THAN THE REST OF THE OCEAN.

APPARENTLY THAT'S ENOUGH TO ATTRACT ANIMALS THAT NORMALLY ONLY LIKE IT HOT.

>> Reporter: THE RESEARCHER PILOTING THIS SUBMERSIBLE HAS BEEN HERE BEFORE.

IT DID NOT TAKE LONG TO FIND PRIME HABITAT ALONG A MINI BEEN SIZED TANGLE OF WARM SHELLS.

HE POINTS OUT THE HABITAT IN THE VIDEO RECORDED BY THE DIVE TEAM.

>> THIS IS A FANTASTIC GROUP OF WORMS.

THESE ANIMALS, EACH ONE LOOKS SORT OF LIKE A PIECE OF PASTA BUT THEY ARE GROWING TOGETHER.

THEY ARE ANCHORED IN THE SEDIMENT GETTING ENERGY FROM THE CHEMICALS AND MICROBES THAT LIVE INSIDE THE TUBES.

IT IS A GREAT PLACE TO BE A TUBE OR THEM.

LOOK AT ALL OF THEM.

>> Reporter: IT IS ALSO WHERE THEY RECORDED VIDEO OF THE NEWLY IDENTIFIED AND PINK EEL.

THAT COLOR DOES NOT MEAN MUCH ON THE OCEAN FLOOR WHERE IT IS COLD AND DARK.

>> THERE IS PROBABLY NO NEED FOR IT TO BE FLASHY OR HAVE EXTRAORDINARY CAMOUFLAGE.

>> Reporter: IT LOOKS LIKE A SMALL EEL AND SOME SPECIES HAVE A DOWNTURNED MOUTH REMINDING SOME OF THE SAD, POUTING FISH.

>> THEY DO NOT MOVE VERY FAST AND THEY DON'T GO TOO FAR FROM THEIR HOMES.

>> Reporter: THE FISH LIVES ON THE OCEAN FLOOR.

WHILE THE PINK FISH STANCE ON VIDEO, THE COLOR CANNOT BE SEEN IN THE DARK WATER.

THEY ALSO HAVE NOT BEEN SEEN OUTSIDE OF THIS GEOGRAPHICALLY SPECIFIC UNDERWATER HABITAT.

THE MANAGER OF ONE OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST MARINE VERTEBRATE COLLECTIONS LOCATED IN SAN DIEGO >> IT IS KIND OF THE GROUP OF FISH AND RELATIVES.

AS YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT FISHES.

>> Reporter: HE IS SHOWING US WHAT IS BEST DESCRIBED AS A FISH LIBRARY.

THE SHELVES ARE FULL OF UNDERWATER CREATURES PERFECTLY PRESERVED IN THESE JARS.

THIS WAS HIS FIRST STOP TO IDENTIFY THE SAMPLES BROUGHT BACK BY RESEARCHERS IN 2018.

SINCE THE SAMPLES DID NOT MATCH UP WITH ANYTHING HE TURNED TO PUBLISHED LITERATURE.

>> GOING THROUGH THE BOOK AND REFERENCES TRYING TO MATCH THEM UP THEY ARE RESONATING WITH ANYTHING I SEE.

>> Reporter: HE REACHED OUT TO A COLLEAGUE IN DENMARK.

HE HAS BEEN CONSIDERED AN AUTHORITY ON DEEP-SEA, BOTTOM LIVING FISHES.

>> HE RECOGNIZED IT AS A GENUS THAT HAS ONLY BEEN DESCRIBED IN THE LAST 20 YEARS IT IS CALLED FIRE WOLF.

>> Reporter: HE KNEW IMMEDIATELY THAT THE FISH WAS SOMETHING NEW.

IS IT THAT HELPS TO EXPLAIN THE LACK OF SCALES AND THE NUMBER AND LOCATION OF SENSORY PORES ON THEIR BODIES.

THOSE ARE KEY TO HELPING THEM FIND FOOD.

>> THEY ARE LIVING IN PITCH BLACK ENVIRONMENT SO THEY RELY ON NOT JUST THEIR EYES, AND OTHER ORGANS FOR SENSING MOVEMENT AND PRAY.

>> Reporter: THERE ARE ONLY FOUR SAMPLES AVAILABLE TO RESEARCHERS.

TWO IN SAN DIEGO AND TWO IN DENMARK.
