The Department of Homeland Security's Office of the Inspector General has repeatedly criticized the company for cutting corners on its investigations, conducting improper interviews, and producing \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/assets/2018-06/OIG-18-67-Jun18.pdf\">inaccurate reports\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one instance, the government watchdog said \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/assets/Mga/2018/oig-18-86-sep18.pdf\">ICE failed to take seriously the problem of braided bed sheets\u003c/a> hanging in detainee cells. It said similar braided sheets had been used as a noose in one suicide and in several other attempts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For many critics, Nakamoto's failures cited in the government reports help explain why unsanitary, harsh conditions at the detention centers persist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/07/02/738179391/dhs-inspector-general-finds-dangerous-overcrowding-in-border-patrol-facilities\">Public scrutiny of detention \u003c/a>facilities continues to increase. Meanwhile, the population of those detained at ICE's facilities last month reached an \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/detention-management\">all-time high of 54,000\u003c/a>. At the same time, there are persistent questions from the inspector general about whether ICE is properly overseeing the contractors that run a majority of the agency's facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/06/30/736940431/under-siege-and-largely-secret-businesses-that-serve-immigration-detention\">ICE relies heavily on private industry\u003c/a> in nearly every aspect of its operation. Outside contractors GEO Group and CoreCivic operate most of ICE's adult detention centers. For the last eight years, Nakamoto has been charged with conducting annual inspections of ICE detention centers, including those run by GEO and CoreCivic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's really not an exaggeration to say that there is basically no meaningful accountability or oversight for the companies who are involved,\" says Heidi Altman, director of policy at the National Immigrant Justice Center, an immigrant rights group. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DHS inspector general not only \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/assets/2018-06/OIG-18-67-Jun18.pdf\">criticized Nakamoto's work\u003c/a>, it also faulted ICE for not properly overseeing Nakamoto. \"ICE does not adequately hold detention facility contractors accountable for not meeting performance standards,\" the inspector general wrote in its \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/assets/2019-02/OIG-19-18-Jan19.pdf\">latest report in January\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The result, critics say, is that detainees are subject to everything from solitary confinement to negligent medical care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kidd, the 24-year-old former Adelanto detainee, says he filed grievances about his experiences. (Kidd married in December; prior to that his last name was Sorto.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kidd's Honduran mother brought him to the U.S. when he was 9. He was supposed to be protected from deportation under DACA, or the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, but ICE agents arrested him outside his apartment because of a DUI charge that was later expunged from his record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kidd says the treatment at Adelanto was inhumane. One day, during an evacuation, he says a guard screamed obscenities, calling him and his fellow detainees names.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I mean, that's when I kind of lost it,\" Kidd says. \"I just said, 'You cannot call me that, you cannot treat us like animals, because we're not.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For this, Kidd says he was briefly taken to a solitary confinement room called \"Bravo.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In Bravo, there was nobody watching in there,\" Kidd says. \"You'd see people come out of there with bruises. I saw them come out of there with bruises.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kidd filed grievances under ICE procedures with GEO Group, which ran the facility. He says GEO promised to interview his fellow detainees about the mistreatment, but never did. He says GEO dismissed his complaint. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='news_11736531,news_11728992' label='Coverage of Immigration Detention From KQED']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE did not respond to requests seeking comment about Kidd's claims. GEO referred questions regarding the case to ICE.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kidd's attorney, Sabrina Damast, says such treatment and conditions should have alarmed inspectors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Nakamoto inspectors reported no problems at Adelanto in 2017 and \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/doclib/facilityInspections/adelantoEastCa_CL_10_11_2018.pdf\">2018\u003c/a>. For the last eight years, the company has held the contract to inspect conditions at more than 100 ICE facilities, including Adelanto. (Nakamoto inspections from previous years have not been made public.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last time ICE's own Office of Detention Oversight reviewed Adelanto was \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/doclib/foia/odo-compliance-inspections/2014AdelantoJuly.pdf\">in 2014\u003c/a>. That year, ICE's internal review found the facility already fell short in six areas, including how it addressed sexual assault, its handling of detainee grievances and its food service. (Earlier this year, NPR sued the City of Adelanto seeking access to documents regarding conditions at that facility.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE declined an interview. But its spokeswoman Danielle Bennett says the agency \u003cem>has \u003c/em>improved since the inspector general's reports. In an emailed statement, Bennett said senior ICE officials now accompany Nakamoto investigators during their reviews. ICE, she notes, has multiple layers of oversight, including local staff stationed in each facility. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='immigration-detention' label='Related Coverage']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bennett says the agency is also holding contractors accountable. Between December 2018 and March 2019, she says, financial penalties against the contractors totaled $500,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But one former senior ICE official told NPR the changes Bennett points out are minor. The bigger problem is ICE has no incentive to acknowledge problems. One of ICE's \u003ca href=\"https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/19_0318_MGMT_CBJ-Annual-Performance-Review-DHS-Overview_0.pdf\">performance goals\u003c/a> is for all of its detention centers to pass inspection — and the former official, who requested anonymity to protect future employment prospects, says Nakamoto is well aware of the pressures to meet that target.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nakamoto is a private firm based outside Washington, D.C. Its Japanese American owner, Jennifer Nakamoto, frequently credits her family's experience in World War II internment camps with shaping her company's mission. The company's inspections contract with ICE started in 2011. According to USAspending, the federal government's contracting database, the potential value of Nakamoto's contract was $116 million last fiscal year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Claudia Valenzuela is an attorney with the American Immigration Council, an immigrant advocacy group. She's filed lawsuits seeking information about ICE and its contractors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think there should be more public scrutiny of Nakamoto,\" Valenzuela says. \"How did it obtain the contract? How does this company continue to hold that contract?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Nakamoto says it stands by its performance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an email, Nakamoto Vice President Mark Saunders said, \"we have made it abundantly clear that we are in no way political, and we have no agenda other than to do our work.\" He declined an interview, saying the company has already addressed negative allegations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last fall, Sen. Elizabeth Warren and other Democrats asked Nakamoto \u003ca href=\"https://www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/2018-11-16%20Letter%20to%20Nakamoto%20Group%20re%20ICE%20Detention%20Facility%20Inspections.pdf\">to respond to problems\u003c/a> raised in the inspector general's reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Attachment%203a%20-%20Response%20Letter%20from%20Nakamoto%20Group.pdf\">In her response\u003c/a>, Jennifer Nakamoto quoted from her own company's report, calling the watchdog investigators inexperienced and their findings an \"embarrassment\" to their office. She disputes many of the facts in the reports. She wrote about her mother's birth in an internment camp, saying she and her family have battled prejudice all their lives. \"Without question,\" she wrote, \"the detained immigrant population as a whole has a better life because of what Nakamoto does.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That response has not mollified critics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brian Cohen, Warren's oversight and investigations director, says neither Nakamoto nor ICE has shown interest in making changes. He says ICE has also not responded to follow up inquiries sent \u003ca href=\"https://www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/2019-04-15%20Letter%20to%20ICE%20re%20Private%20Immigration%20Contractors%20CoreCivic%20GEO%20Group%20and%20Nakamoto%20Group.pdf\">in April\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/2019.06.20%20Letter%20to%20ICE%20regarding%20the%20use%20of%20solitary%20confinement%20at%20immigration%20detention%20facilities.pdf\">June\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we concluded from all this mess is that still, nobody's taken responsibility,\" Cohen says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nakamoto's contract with ICE is set to expire in September.

"content": "\u003cp>The House of Representatives approved a resolution Tuesday evening condemning the president for a series of racist tweets about four Democratic lawmakers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vote was mostly along party lines, as the House split 240-187, with four Republicans supporting the non-binding measure. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi\"]‘Every single member of this institution, Democratic and Republican, should join us in condemning the president’s racist tweets. To do anything less would be a shocking rejection of our values.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican Reps. Fred Upton of Michigan, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Susan Brooks of Indiana and Will Hurd of Texas joined with Democrats to rebuke the president, as did Michigan Rep. Justin Amash, who recently left the GOP to become an independent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House was paralyzed for a substantial portion of the afternoon over legislative procedure. Republicans sought a ruling on the question: does calling the president’s tweets “racist” violate the rules of decorum established in the House? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So an already heated debate turned to farce as the House voted on whether to sanction House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for characterizing the president’s remarks as “racist,” as part of a debate on \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11761692/read-heres-the-resolution-condemning-trumps-racist-comments-about-congresswomen\">a resolution which also calls the president’s remarks “racist.”\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At issue was the phrasing of Pelosi as she spoke in favor of the resolution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every single member of this institution, Democratic and Republican, should join us in condemning the president’s racist tweets,” she said. “To do anything less would be a shocking rejection of our values and a shameful abdication of our oath of office to protect the American people.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>GOP Rep. Doug Collins, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, objected to the language, calling them “unparliamentary” and called for her comments to be “taken down” — officially removed from the record. When that happens, the lawmaker is no longer allowed to speak on the House floor for the remainder of the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Watch a video of Pelosi’s remarks — the exchange with GOP Rep. Collins begins at about the 6:20 mark:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/vsAt6N7eqwA?t=376\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House rules prohibit impugning the motives of a person during legislative debate. There is no explicit rule which states that lawmakers cannot call comments “racist,” but there is precedent for declaring these sorts of characterizations out of bounds. The rules and precedents are outlined in Jefferson’s Manual, which lays out parliamentary procedures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As House staff and lawmakers huddled to sort out what to do and expected a decision, the presiding chair of the House, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, D-Mo., unexpectedly dropped his gavel and declared that he was “abandoning the chair.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDNGTWPobu4\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Majority Leader Steny Hoyer later delivered the ruling that Pelosi’s words were not in order, but Democrats defeated a vote to strike them from the official congressional record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both the attempted sanctioning of the speaker of the House and Cleaver’s decision to walk off the floor and leave the House without a presiding officer are highly unusual developments in the House. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bay Area Congressman Eric Swalwell used his time on the House floor to list a series of comments President Donald Trump has made, and then called them “racist.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Birtherism is racist. Saying a Mexican judge can’t be fair because of his heritage is racist. Saying immigrants from Mexico are rapists is racist,” Swalwell said. “Saying there were good people on both sides in Charlottesville is racist. Calling African countries ‘shithole countries’ is racist.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Collins again quickly objected to Swalwell’s comments, asking them to be taken down as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zu0HbwZFWIc&\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html?id=6200155-House-Resolution-Condemning-Trump-Comments\">resolution the House was considering\u003c/a> states that the House “strongly condemns President Donald Trump’s racist comments that have legitimized and increased fear and hatred of new Americans and people of color.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president’s weekend comments about four female members of Congress has done what Trump’s remarks so often do: take control the agenda in Washington, D.C. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the weekend began, lawmakers expected that this week would be focused primarily on issues like a proposal to raise the minimum wage, a budget deal and a vote holding the attorney general in contempt over the 2020 census. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1150381395078000643\">president’s tweets\u003c/a> upended the whole order. His tweets, in which he implored four women of color to “go back” to the countries of their ancestry, dominated the conversation in the capital — with Democrats condemning it, and Republicans being asked to defend or denounce it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The statements targeted four freshman progressive lawmakers: Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts. All but Omar were born in the United States. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Coverage\" tag=\"racism\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to the president’s comments, Ocasio-Cortez \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1150746839790039040\">responded \u003c/a>that telling people of color to go back to their countries of origin reflects the “hallmark language of white supremacists.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ahead of the debate on the House floor Democrats were warned to watch their language. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a meeting with his Democratic colleagues Tuesday morning, Rules Committee Chairman Jim McGovern, D-Mass., reminded lawmakers about the House rules say they cannot impugn the personal motives of the president. Pelosi suggested to the caucus that they could use phrasing like his “words were racist,” noting that such nuance allows them to make their point and stick within the rules. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While some Republicans in the House and Senate have \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/07/15/741771445/trump-continues-twitter-assault-on-4-minority-congresswomen\">criticized \u003c/a>the president’s comments, GOP leadership in the House of Representatives stood with the president. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked if the president’s tweets were racist, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said on Tuesday that they weren’t. He added that he planned to vote against the Democratic resolution, dismissing it as “it’s all politics.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney declining to address the president’s comments directly, instead focusing on attacking the left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our opposition to our colleague’s beliefs has absolutely nothing to do with race, or gender or religion,” she told reporters. “We oppose them and their policies because their policies are dangerous and wrong and would destroy America.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

Roosevelt said, “Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists”;\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whereas immigration of people from all over the Earth has defined every stage of American history and propelled our social, economic, political, scientific, cultural, artistic, and technological progress as a people, and all Americans, except for the descendants of Native people and enslaved African-Americans, are immigrants or descendants of immigrants;\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whereas the commitment to immigration and asylum has been not a partisan cause but a powerful national value that has infused the work of many Presidents;\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whereas American patriotism is defined not by race or ethnicity but by devotion to the Constitutional ideals of equality, liberty, inclusion, and democracy and by service to our communities and struggle for the common good;\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whereas President John F. Kennedy, whose family came to the United States from Ireland, stated in his 1958 book “A Nation of Immigrants” that “The contribution of immigrants can be seen in every aspect of our national life.

Debbie Lesko, R-Ariz., disputed charges that some of those being held at a Border Patrol facility in Texas were forced to drink water from toilets. “Please, American public,” Lesko said, “there is no one asking people to drink out of toilets.” She referred to a video from the Arizona Border Patrol showing an agent touring a facility and drinking water from a sink above a toilet unit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., who made that accusation in a news conference after visiting a Texas CBP facility earlier this month, stood by her claim. After taking the unusual step of asking to be sworn in before testifying — something not required of the lawmakers — Ocasio-Cortez said when some of the women being held at the facility said they were told to drink from a toilet because the sink was broken, “I believe these women.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lesko And Ocasio-Cortez: Dueling Testimony On Facility Condition\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https://www.npr.org/templates/event/embeddedVideo.php?storyId=739530731&mediaId=741159400\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003cbr>\n Ocasio-Cortez said there were American flags hanging at all of these facilities. “That children being separated from their parents in front of an American flag, that women were being called these names under an American flag,” she said. “We cannot allow for this.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The panel also heard testimony from the Department of Homeland Security’s acting inspector general, Jennifer Costello, whose office found “serious overcrowding and prolonged detention in Border Patrol facilities requiring immediate attention.” The findings are detailed in a report released earlier this month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The committee released its own report on Friday, charging the Trump administration’s child separation policy is “more harmful, traumatic, and chaotic than previously known.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Director of Columbia Law School’s Immigrants’ Rights Clinic Elora Mukherjee spoke about the dozens of detained children whom she and her colleagues interviewed in June at the Clint Border Patrol facility in Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was and I remain shaken to my core by what I witnessed at Clint,” said Mukherjee, who has been working with detained families and children on the southern border for 12 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mukherjee: ‘What I Heard, What I Saw And What I Smelled’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https://www.npr.org/templates/event/embeddedVideo.php?storyId=739530731&mediaId=741206570\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003cbr>\n Former Immigration and Customs Enforcement acting Director Thomas Homan told the panel, “The biggest problem involves the unwillingness of Congress to address the loopholes that are causing this crisis.” He said calls for action have been met by deaf ears. “It’s about [an] open borders agenda, resisting our president — more interest in that than securing our border,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., said, “There is no excuse for how we are treating children. Is there no limit to what you will justify in this administration when it comes to the mistreatment of our fellow human beings?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘Frustrated’: Former ICE Acting Director Thomas Homan\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https://www.npr.org/templates/event/embeddedVideo.php?storyId=739530731&mediaId=741233176\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003cbr>\n When Homan tried to respond to Connolly, the two shouted over each other. Homan said later, “This is political theater at its best.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Vice President Pence traveled to McAllen, Texas, where he visited a CBP holding station. According to a pool report, he told reporters he “couldn’t be more proud of the CBP agents at the facility, and that every American would be proud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every family I spoke to said they were being well cared for,” he said, decrying the “harsh rhetoric” of Democrats. Pence said the overcrowding demonstrates why immigration laws needed to be changed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
