"content": "\u003cp>Detecting very small earthquakes is notoriously difficult. The rumbling of the ocean, a passing car or even the wind can feel a lot like a minor quake to the sensors that blanket seismically active parts of the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s a problem for scientists who rely on data about all the earthquakes in a region to study what triggers the biggest, most destructive ones. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Coverage\" tag=\"earthquakes\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, a team of scientists says it has found a way to accurately detect tiny earthquakes, and it has published a new, more comprehensive list of quakes that occurred over a recent 10-year period in Southern California. The work was \u003ca href=\"https://science.sciencemag.org/cgi/doi/10.1126/science.aaw6888\">published Thursday\u003c/a> in the journal \u003cem>Science.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The team relied on data \u003ca href=\"http://www.scsn.org/index.php/scsn/index.html\">from a network\u003c/a> of about 400 seismic sensors in California, spread from the U.S.-Mexico border up through the southern part of the state. Those sensors continuously measure movement in the Earth’s crust, looking for evidence of quakes. During the decade from 2008 to 2017, scientists had already identified 180,000 earthquakes in the region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They have a robust seismic network in Southern California,” explains \u003ca href=\"https://www.lanl.gov/expertise/profiles/view/daniel-trugman\">Daniel Trugman\u003c/a>, a seismologist at Los Alamos National Laboratory and an author of the study. But while 180,000 might seem like a large number of quakes, there were many, many more hiding undetected in the data. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Trugman and his collaborators re-analyzed the data using a powerful array of computer processors, they found evidence of 10 times as many earthquakes — 1.81 million temblors in a decade, or roughly one tiny earthquake every three minutes or so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You don’t feel them happening all the time,” Trugman says. But “they’re happening all the time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most quakes detected in the study are so small, their magnitude falls below zero. It’s not impossible for humans to feel such subtle trembling in the rock beneath our feet, but it is unlikely. Trugman equates it to a table being kicked over in your kitchen. If you are standing in the kitchen when it happens, you’ll notice the table hitting the ground.

The work was \u003ca href=\"https://science.sciencemag.org/cgi/doi/10.1126/science.aaw6888\">published Thursday\u003c/a> in the journal \u003cem>Science.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The team relied on data \u003ca href=\"http://www.scsn.org/index.php/scsn/index.html\">from a network\u003c/a> of about 400 seismic sensors in California, spread from the U.S.-Mexico border up through the southern part of the state. Those sensors continuously measure movement in the Earth’s crust, looking for evidence of quakes. During the decade from 2008 to 2017, scientists had already identified 180,000 earthquakes in the region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They have a robust seismic network in Southern California,” explains \u003ca href=\"https://www.lanl.gov/expertise/profiles/view/daniel-trugman\">Daniel Trugman\u003c/a>, a seismologist at Los Alamos National Laboratory and an author of the study. But while 180,000 might seem like a large number of quakes, there were many, many more hiding undetected in the data. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Trugman and his collaborators re-analyzed the data using a powerful array of computer processors, they found evidence of 10 times as many earthquakes — 1.81 million temblors in a decade, or roughly one tiny earthquake every three minutes or so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You don’t feel them happening all the time,” Trugman says.

"content": "\u003cp>Six months after the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California history, the town of Paradise remains a disaster zone. Only 6 percent of the debris from last November’s Camp Fire has been hauled away. Burned-out skeletons of cars, piles of toxic rubble and blackened old-growth pine trees can still be seen everywhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Stories\" tag=\"paradise\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the wildfire, the population of Paradise was about 26,000. Today, it’s in the hundreds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The extent of the latest crisis unfolding in Paradise is yet unknown: The deadly fire may also have contaminated up to 173 miles of pipeline in the town’s water system with cancer-causing benzene and other volatile organic compounds, or VOCs. Preliminary results have shown contamination in about a third of the lines tested, though only about 2 percent of the entire system has been sampled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the water crisis is just the latest setback that has called into question whether the town is ready to reopen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And some have had no choice but to move back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As soon as the house was cleaned, our insurance company told us that we had to come home,” says Paradise resident Kyla Awalt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Awalt’s home off Bille Road is the only one still eerily standing in the rubble of what used to be her neighborhood. Her family had planned to move back, eventually. In January, though, they were notified that their “additional living expenses” had run out. But there was still no potable water in town then, nor is there today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They considered selling. But how do you put a home on the market if it doesn’t have any water?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can’t,” Awalt says. “That’s part of the inspection process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So they bought a huge water tank, out of pocket, for $6,500. It’s sitting beneath the shade of an old walnut tree along the fence line of her property. On the other side of the fence is the rubble of what used to be her neighbor’s home. There are piles of debris and a couple of mangled, burnt lawn mowers waiting to be hauled away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Awalts spend $250 to fill the water tank every few weeks. It’s expensive, but it offers peace of mind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s kind of up to the homeowner,” Awalt says. “It’s on them to figure it out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the Camp Fire, Paradise was known as a bedroom community as well as an affordable haven for retirees. Much of the population tended to skew lower income, and the idea that they’re now being left to fend for themselves is alarming to experts like Andrew Whelton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s not protecting public health,” says Whelton, a civil engineer who built his career advising the U.S. military on how to restore water infrastructure after disasters. “That’s not what we’re supposed to be doing with a population that has gone under trauma like this; we’re supposed to help them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whelton, now at Purdue University, has recently been consulting with the town’s primary water supplier, the Paradise Irrigation District. The utility is trying to pinpoint the source of the contamination, whether it’s from burnt plastic pipes and meters or from the toxic waste from burnt structures that was flushed into the town’s water pipes. Much of the town’s housing stock was older and didn’t have back-flow protection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The scale of the recovery effort and the testing that’s needed in my experience here will be unprecedented,” Whelton says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s likely unprecedented, but it’s also a warning to other cities in high-risk wildfire zones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district’s manager, Kevin Phillips, says his staff is overwhelmed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is no playbook for a wildfire that destroys a town and you have a depressurization of a system that creates contamination,” Phillips says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are 10,500 service lines in the district’s system, which was built in the 1950s and already had a reputation of being outdated and haphazardly designed. Phillips says the plan is to prioritize testing in neighborhoods where homes are still standing and to shut down and isolate the contaminated places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The system will take years to fix.

Only 6 percent of the debris from last November’s Camp Fire has been hauled away. Burned-out skeletons of cars, piles of toxic rubble and blackened old-growth pine trees can still be seen everywhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the wildfire, the population of Paradise was about 26,000. Today, it’s in the hundreds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The extent of the latest crisis unfolding in Paradise is yet unknown: The deadly fire may also have contaminated up to 173 miles of pipeline in the town’s water system with cancer-causing benzene and other volatile organic compounds, or VOCs. Preliminary results have shown contamination in about a third of the lines tested, though only about 2 percent of the entire system has been sampled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the water crisis is just the latest setback that has called into question whether the town is ready to reopen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And some have had no choice but to move back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As soon as the house was cleaned, our insurance company told us that we had to come home,” says Paradise resident Kyla Awalt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Awalt’s home off Bille Road is the only one still eerily standing in the rubble of what used to be her neighborhood. Her family had planned to move back, eventually. In January, though, they were notified that their “additional living expenses” had run out. But there was still no potable water in town then, nor is there today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They considered selling. But how do you put a home on the market if it doesn’t have any water?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can’t,” Awalt says. “That’s part of the inspection process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So they bought a huge water tank, out of pocket, for $6,500. It’s sitting beneath the shade of an old walnut tree along the fence line of her property. On the other side of the fence is the rubble of what used to be her neighbor’s home. There are piles of debris and a couple of mangled, burnt lawn mowers waiting to be hauled away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Awalts spend $250 to fill the water tank every few weeks. It’s expensive, but it offers peace of mind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s kind of up to the homeowner,” Awalt says. “It’s on them to figure it out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the Camp Fire, Paradise was known as a bedroom community as well as an affordable haven for retirees. Much of the population tended to skew lower income, and the idea that they’re now being left to fend for themselves is alarming to experts like Andrew Whelton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s not protecting public health,” says Whelton, a civil engineer who built his career advising the U.S. military on how to restore water infrastructure after disasters. “That’s not what we’re supposed to be doing with a population that has gone under trauma like this; we’re supposed to help them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whelton, now at Purdue University, has recently been consulting with the town’s primary water supplier, the Paradise Irrigation District. The utility is trying to pinpoint the source of the contamination, whether it’s from burnt plastic pipes and meters or from the toxic waste from burnt structures that was flushed into the town’s water pipes. Much of the town’s housing stock was older and didn’t have back-flow protection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The scale of the recovery effort and the testing that’s needed in my experience here will be unprecedented,” Whelton says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s likely unprecedented, but it’s also a warning to other cities in high-risk wildfire zones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district’s manager, Kevin Phillips, says his staff is overwhelmed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is no playbook for a wildfire that destroys a town and you have a depressurization of a system that creates contamination,” Phillips says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are 10,500 service lines in the district’s system, which was built in the 1950s and already had a reputation of being outdated and haphazardly designed. Phillips says the plan is to prioritize testing in neighborhoods where homes are still standing and to shut down and isolate the contaminated places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The system will take years to fix. The testing alone could take more than two years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We feel like we are under the microscope of the nation right now, that we are going to be the reason why the town doesn’t rebuild. … If there’s no water, there’s no town,” Phillips says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Phillips says they won’t do anything hastily that would jeopardize public health. As more people try to move back, the utility hopes to buy and deliver tanks with potable water — a program that will hopefully begin later this month. But no one knows yet who will pay for that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whelton worries that means folks living here will continue to be exposed to yet unknown risks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11740560\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1600px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/image-from-ios-1-_wide-82709c7e83ee2caeab6037da94ec88628604786e-s1600-c85.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11740560\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/image-from-ios-1-_wide-82709c7e83ee2caeab6037da94ec88628604786e-s1600-c85.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"899\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/image-from-ios-1-_wide-82709c7e83ee2caeab6037da94ec88628604786e-s1600-c85.jpg 1600w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/image-from-ios-1-_wide-82709c7e83ee2caeab6037da94ec88628604786e-s1600-c85-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/image-from-ios-1-_wide-82709c7e83ee2caeab6037da94ec88628604786e-s1600-c85-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/image-from-ios-1-_wide-82709c7e83ee2caeab6037da94ec88628604786e-s1600-c85-1020x573.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/image-from-ios-1-_wide-82709c7e83ee2caeab6037da94ec88628604786e-s1600-c85-1200x674.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Paradise Irrigation District manager Kevin Phillips shows a sample of the town’s water pipes, which were frequently woven between underground root systems that were likely burned during the fire. \u003ccite>(Kirk Siegler/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“In a disaster of this scale, that is one of the takeaways here,” he says. “In the absence of any credible authority providing help to a population, they will do what it takes to survive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, there are strict warnings that people moving back in should not drink or even boil the water, let alone use it for any household activity unless it has been tested.

"content": "\u003cp>Dirty words make it to the U.S. Supreme Court only occasionally. One of those occasions came Monday, in a case involving a clothing line named “\u003ca href=\"https://fuct.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FUCT.”\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue is whether the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office acted unconstitutionally when it refused to grant trademark protection to the brand name.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, for the justices, the immediate problem was how to discuss the the F-word without actually saying it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The “FUCT” clothing line, created by designer Eric Brunetti, is mainly hoodies, loose pants, shorts and T-shirts, all with the brand name prominently displayed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11740529\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 618px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11740529\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Screen-Shot-2019-04-16-at-11.23.05-AM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"618\" height=\"297\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Screen-Shot-2019-04-16-at-11.23.05-AM.png 618w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Screen-Shot-2019-04-16-at-11.23.05-AM-160x77.png 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A few items from the FUCT clothing line. Courtesy of FUCT Instagram.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Brunetti opened the line in 1990, aimed at 20-somethings, and he has been trying to get the brand trademarked ever since.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Go to eBay, and you’ll see a lot of counterfeits, or go to Amazon, and you’ll see lots of counterfeits,” he said, noting that the knockoffs are costing him real money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If he could get his brand trademarked, he could go after the copycats and shut them down. The U.S. government Patent and Trademark Office, however, has consistently rejected his trademark application, contending that those letters, “FUCT,” violate the federal statute that bars trademark protection for “immoral,” “shocking,” “offensive” and “scandalous” words.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brunetti’s case got a boost two years ago when the Supreme Court \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/06/19/533514196/the-slants-win-supreme-court-battle-over-bands-name-in-trademark-dispute\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ruled that an Asian-American band calling itself “The Slants” could not be denied \u003c/a>trademark protection. The trademark office had turned the band down, because it deemed the name racially “disparaging,” but the court said the denial amounted to unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dealing with the brand name “FUCT” proved a bit more daunting in the Supreme Court chamber Monday. Deputy Solicitor General Malcolm Stewart referred to the brand name as a “profane past participle form of a well-known word of profanity and perhaps the paradigmatic word of profanity in our language.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=science_1938007,news_11729888 label='Intellectual Property Disputes']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The government, he maintained, can deny trademark protection for that word. The justices pointed to a chart showing which terms had been granted trademarks by the government, and which ones had not. Most of the names on the chart — those granted and not granted — are not suitable for a general audience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Suffice to say that while “FUCT” did not win trademark approval, “FCUK” did, and so did the well-known brand “FUBAR.” The word “crap” was registered in a trademarked name 70 times, but the S-word was consistently denied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That prompted Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to ask how the trademark office defines what is scandalous, shocking or offensive.

The U.S. government Patent and Trademark Office, however, has consistently rejected his trademark application, contending that those letters, “FUCT,” violate the federal statute that bars trademark protection for “immoral,” “shocking,” “offensive” and “scandalous” words.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brunetti’s case got a boost two years ago when the Supreme Court \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/06/19/533514196/the-slants-win-supreme-court-battle-over-bands-name-in-trademark-dispute\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ruled that an Asian-American band calling itself “The Slants” could not be denied \u003c/a>trademark protection. The trademark office had turned the band down, because it deemed the name racially “disparaging,” but the court said the denial amounted to unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dealing with the brand name “FUCT” proved a bit more daunting in the Supreme Court chamber Monday. Deputy Solicitor General Malcolm Stewart referred to the brand name as a “profane past participle form of a well-known word of profanity and perhaps the paradigmatic word of profanity in our language.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It took three weeks to get back on antidepressants, he says, and the sessions with the psychologists at Adelanto were only cursory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They keep their actual sessions to five to 10 minutes,\" he says. \"It's basically like a quick check-in. They just ask you, 'How are you? Do you have any suicidal thoughts? When is your next court date?'

The two men became close friends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He was persecuted in Mexico because of being gay,\" Mario says. Months of detention \"and not getting any mental health care really took a toll on him. And that's when he cut himself. He cut his wrist with a razor blade that we get to shave.

It's one of the reasons people were reluctant to seek help, Mario says. But also, like other detainees, he was worried about being labeled as depressed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I couldn't express whenever I was extremely feeling sad or depressed or anxious because I was afraid that would be used against me in court,\" he explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judges cannot use mental health conditions to deny legal status to a detainee, according to immigration attorneys.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, long after GEO Group says the company addressed any problems detailed in the Disability Rights California report, detainees in Adelanto staged a hunger strike.

She is one of the hundreds of Mexican citizens who cross the border from Mexicali, Mexico, to Calexico every morning. She picks lettuce at a farm in the Imperial Valley to support her three children, and she was waiting in downtown Calexico for a bus to take her to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says she hasn't been following the news, but her friends have been telling her about President \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/04/04/709933534/trump-walks-back-threat-to-close-u-s-border-giving-mexico-a-1-year-warning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trump's on-again, off-again threats\u003c/a> to close the southwest border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They have told me, 'What are you going to do if that happens?' And I'm like, 'Oh, I don't know what I'm going to do,' \" Godoy says. \"I have to cross every day. So if he closes it, I'm not going to be able to cross.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a doughnut and coffee shop filled with farmworkers from across the border, 45-year-old Enrique Javier, who has been working in the Imperial Valley for 30 years, says a border closure would be hard not only for farmworkers, but for the entire city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The marketplace would be affected, the taxi companies, the buses, everything would be impacted that works with Mexicans,\" Javier says in Spanish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Families that straddle the border would also have to make tough decisions. Edgar Godinez, 21, who lives in Heber, Calif., has a 1-year-old son in Mexicali.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I wouldn't be able to see my son if they do that. I might have to stay in Mexico to stay with my son,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before sunrise, buses take the agricultural workers to fields throughout the Imperial Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"KQED Immigration Stories\" tag=\"immigration\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jack Vessey is a fourth-generation farmer in Holtville, California, about 15 miles north of the border. More than half of his workers cross from Mexico. He says that the threats and the tension along the border are just not good for business — especially in the midst of the cabbage harvest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\"\u003c/strong>It's a region. It's not this fence or this line or this border. It's been there. It's been here for a long, long time. And to see the people passing back and forth — be it families, be it dollars, be it pesos — you know, we live together,\" Vessey says at his family's farm office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vessey acknowledges the need for immigration reform, but he doesn't think a shutdown or even a short-term interruption at the border would be the right way to go about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't know what we'd do,\" Vessey says. \"It would be very difficult to do what we do on a daily basis.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>South of the border, in Mexicali, lots of businesses rely on cross-border traffic coming over from the U.S. In La Chinesca — a Chinese neighborhood in Mexicali — 25-year-old Hernan Gomez runs the BabyBois Barber Shop with a group of friends. The neighborhood was founded by Chinese railroad workers who had been deported from the U.S. because of the Chinese Exclusion Act, and it has been shaped \u003ca href=\"https://www.huffpost.com/entry/mexicali-chinatown_n_589bcd59e4b09bd304c00a99\">throughout the decades by U.S. and Mexican policies toward immigrants\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gomez's shop is currently undergoing construction, and he feels as if the border shutdown scare could not have come at a worse time for his regular clients, who he'll be relying on to keep him in business through the remodeling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If it were to close down, they would be affected. It's a barbershop, man. Man likes to stay fresh.\" Gomez said. \"Man, we'd lose customers like that. Sometimes when the wait [at the border] is too long, we lose customers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some border crossings — like those in El Paso — have experienced \u003ca href=\"https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-immigration-mexico/trucks-snarled-at-el-paso-border-mexico-says-no-serious-problems-idUSKCN1RF1Y5?il=0\">wait times of up to seven hours to get into the U.S\u003c/a>., because Customs and Border Protection staff have been pulled away to deal with huge numbers of asylum-seeking families arriving on the southwest border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calexico has not had as many asylum-seekers presenting at its port of entry as nearby San Diego, but delays at the border might occur as security ramps up for Trump's visit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The renovated fence is now slatted — the previous one wasn't — and allows border patrol agents to see through it into Mexico. But the barrier itself isn't new to Calexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At least 45 years there's been a fence there. Now they've obviously replaced the fence. It's now higher and so now you can see through it, but the fence has been there for many, many years,\" says Calexico City Manager David Dale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dale insists, though, that what we call that barrier is important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's our sister city in Mexicali, so they're like our brothers and sisters there. And so we say it's not a wall, it's a fence,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calexico is already planning for protesters — including some who will launch a large, inflatable Trump balloon to greet the president's visit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.\u003c/div>\n\n",

More than half of his workers cross from Mexico. He says that the threats and the tension along the border are just not good for business — especially in the midst of the cabbage harvest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\"\u003c/strong>It's a region. It's not this fence or this line or this border. It's been there. It's been here for a long, long time. And to see the people passing back and forth — be it families, be it dollars, be it pesos — you know, we live together,\" Vessey says at his family's farm office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vessey acknowledges the need for immigration reform, but he doesn't think a shutdown or even a short-term interruption at the border would be the right way to go about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't know what we'd do,\" Vessey says. \"It would be very difficult to do what we do on a daily basis.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>South of the border, in Mexicali, lots of businesses rely on cross-border traffic coming over from the U.S. In La Chinesca — a Chinese neighborhood in Mexicali — 25-year-old Hernan Gomez runs the BabyBois Barber Shop with a group of friends. The neighborhood was founded by Chinese railroad workers who had been deported from the U.S. because of the Chinese Exclusion Act, and it has been shaped \u003ca href=\"https://www.huffpost.com/entry/mexicali-chinatown_n_589bcd59e4b09bd304c00a99\">throughout the decades by U.S. and Mexican policies toward immigrants\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gomez's shop is currently undergoing construction, and he feels as if the border shutdown scare could not have come at a worse time for his regular clients, who he'll be relying on to keep him in business through the remodeling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If it were to close down, they would be affected. It's a barbershop, man. Man likes to stay fresh.\" Gomez said. \"Man, we'd lose customers like that. Sometimes when the wait [at the border] is too long, we lose customers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some border crossings — like those in El Paso — have experienced \u003ca href=\"https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-immigration-mexico/trucks-snarled-at-el-paso-border-mexico-says-no-serious-problems-idUSKCN1RF1Y5?il=0\">wait times of up to seven hours to get into the U.S\u003c/a>., because Customs and Border Protection staff have been pulled away to deal with huge numbers of asylum-seeking families arriving on the southwest border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calexico has not had as many asylum-seekers presenting at its port of entry as nearby San Diego, but delays at the border might occur as security ramps up for Trump's visit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The renovated fence is now slatted — the previous one wasn't — and allows border patrol agents to see through it into Mexico. But the barrier itself isn't new to Calexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At least 45 years there's been a fence there. Now they've obviously replaced the fence. It's now higher and so now you can see through it, but the fence has been there for many, many years,\" says Calexico City Manager David Dale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dale insists, though, that what we call that barrier is important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's our sister city in Mexicali, so they're like our brothers and sisters there. And so we say it's not a wall, it's a fence,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calexico is already planning for protesters — including some who will launch a large, inflatable Trump balloon to greet the president's visit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.\u003c/div>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

That’s what happened when they arrived in the mail back in the mid-2000s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was a scare tactic,” said Julie Pace, an employment lawyer at the Cavanagh Law Firm in Phoenix.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back then, as now, the federal government was trying to crack down on unauthorized workers. Pace understands the need to keep accurate records. But she thinks these letters were also intended to threaten employers who might have undocumented workers on the payroll.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They were like the very old school formal government letter that scared you,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are a lot of reasons someone’s Social Security number might not match: name changes or clerical errors, for example.

Federal agents are on pace to apprehend or encounter more than 100,000 migrants in March — the largest monthly total in more than a decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CBP will reluctantly begin releasing more migrant families with a notice to appear in immigration court, McAleenan said, instead of first handing them over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for processing and detention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CBP already had begun \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/03/20/705341748/border-patrol-starts-releasing-asylum-seeking-migrants-to-south-texas-streets\">releasing some recently apprehended migrants\u003c/a> to the streets of cities in the Rio Grande Valley. Senior border officials say they are prepared to extend that practice to other cities such as San Diego; Yuma, Arizona; and Del Rio and El Paso, Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The majority of these migrants are families and children fleeing violence and poverty in Central America. McAleenan said they are straining the resources of border patrol facilities, which were designed primarily for single men and are far beyond their official capacity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='immigration' label='KQED coverage of immigration']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are doing everything we can to simply avoid a tragedy,\" McAleenan said. \"But with these numbers, with the types of illnesses we're seeing at the border, I fear that it's just a matter of time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CBP has stepped up medical care for migrants since two children died in custody in December. But McAleenan said efforts to provide that medical attention have diverted border patrol agents from their security duties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our expanded medical checks and concerted efforts are saving lives,\" McAleenan said. \"But they have a high cost to our enforcement mission.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response, McAleenan said, CBP is redirecting 750 blue-uniformed agents who work at ports of entry to help the Border Patrol with the care and custody of migrants. McAleenan warned that could lead to longer wait times at ports of entry on the U.S.-Mexico border, but said \"this is required to help us manage this operational crisis.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McAleenan spoke in El Paso, which has become \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/03/26/706583199/a-surge-of-migrants-strains-border-patrol-as-el-paso-becomes-latest-hot-spot\">the latest hot spot for migrant crossings in recent months\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's no questioning why this is happening,\" McAleenan said. \"The increase in family units is a direct response to the vulnerabilities in our legal framework, where migrants and smugglers know that they will be released and allowed to stay in the U.S. indefinitely pending immigration proceedings that could be many years out.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But immigrant advocates dispute that. They note that migrants have a legal right to seek asylum once they're in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics say the Trump administration has been too focused on deterring migrants from coming and has not allocated enough resources for humanitarian aid or adjudicating the migrants' asylum claims quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Trump administration's response to the multidimensional refugee and migration challenge posed by deteriorating conditions in Central America is one-dimensional,\" said Frank Sharry, director of America's Voice. \"No wonder their simplistic and futile strategy has failed so miserably.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There may be \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/03/21/705620835/with-thousands-of-migrants-crossing-the-border-daily-we-asked-why-now\">several reasons the number of migrants has grown\u003c/a> in recent months — including the reach of social media, lower smuggling costs and unintended consequences of the Trump administration's crackdown on immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>John Burnett contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

The investigations by Congress and other federal and state authorities into other aspects of Trump's campaign and business will continue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As to Friday's report, Barr wrote to congressional leaders that he intends to consult with Mueller and with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein \"to determine what other information from the report can be released to Congress and the public consistent with the law.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A message from Mueller was delivered early in the afternoon to Rosenstein and given \"within minutes\" to Barr, a Justice Department spokeswoman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials would not characterize the length of Mueller's report but would say it is \"comprehensive.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House learned about the completion of the report at 4:45 p.m., when attorney Emmet Flood in the White House counsel's office received the notification.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barr has previously committed generally to airing publicly what he gets from Mueller — \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/01/14/685132053/barr-vows-to-let-mueller-finish-his-russia-work-and-promises-transparency\">as much as permitted by the law and regulations\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He may opt to uphold that pledge by releasing a redacted version of what Mueller has prepared, or Barr may write his own report to summarize the confidential findings for public consumption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The precise next steps weren't immediately clear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One thing that has become clear is that the leadership of the Justice Department did not reject any proposed action by Mueller. Regulations require the attorney general to notify Congress if the attorney general says no to some request. Barr wrote that he had no such notifications to make.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosenstein phoned Mueller at 4:30 on Friday afternoon to thank him for his service. The deputy attorney general has been expected to leave the Justice Department following \u003ca href=\"http://time.com/5533163/donald-trump-jeffrey-rosen-deputy-attorney-general/\">the nomination of his prospective replacement\u003c/a> but no date has yet been set for Rosenstein's departure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Calls start for Mueller report to be public\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Members of Congress in both parties, including the leaders of the House and Senate, called for the report to be released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Kamala Harris, of California said: “We need total transparency here\" and called for a declassified report to be made public. She also said U.S. Attorney General Will Barr must publicly testify under oath about the investigation and its findings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is about securing American democracy and protecting voters’ confidence in our elections and our system of government,” she said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congresswoman Barbara Lee also urged Barr to make Mueller's findings available to Congress and in full to the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The American people deserve to know whether foreign powers interfered in our elections – and whether there were illegal attempts to obstruct federal investigators from determining the answer,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., the vice chairman of the Senate intelligence committee, also said Congress must get access to the report's underlying documents and other materials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Congress and the American people deserve to judge the facts for themselves,\" Warner said. \"The special counsel's report must be provided to Congress immediately, and the attorney general should swiftly prepare a declassified version of the report for the public. Nothing short of that will suffice.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Doug Collins, R-Ga., the ranking member on the House Judiciary Committee, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/RepDougCollins/status/1109203722352103424\">wrote on Twitter that he agreed\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, called it significant that Barr had told Congress that the leadership of the Justice Department hadn't rejected any requests for authority by Mueller.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Importantly, the notification also indicates that there were no areas of disagreement between the attorney general or the acting attorney general and special counsel Mueller regarding courses of action,\" Graham said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have always believed it was important that Mr. Mueller be allowed to do his job without interference, and that has been accomplished,\" Graham said\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other members of Congress said they want to hear from the principals themselves. Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., who sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said she wanted Barr to testify in public on Capitol Hill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., who sits on the House intelligence committee, told NPR on Friday afternoon that he wants to hear from Mueller himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We ultimately will have to hear from special counsel Mueller in order to verify,\" he said. \"I don't think the American people will accept anything less than his word.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>White House: Next moves are up to Barr\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn't immediately clear whether the White House might object to the public release of the report, for example on the ground that it can shield its own workings under executive privilege.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/PressSec/status/1109202143045738496\">Press secretary Sarah Sanders said\u003c/a> administration officials have not yet been briefed about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What happens next is up to Barr, Sanders said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Inflection point\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report is expected to provide the most comprehensive accounting so far about what the special counsel and his office have uncovered since his appointment following the dismissal of \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/05/15/527773206/what-just-happened-the-james-comey-saga-in-timeline-form\">FBI Director James Comey\u003c/a> in May 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mueller's office took over an FBI counterintelligence investigation that had been underway at that point for nearly a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump goes back and forth regarding what he accepts about the Russian interference; \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/07/17/629764949/ryan-vladimir-putin-does-not-share-our-interests\">he even briefly absolved \u003c/a>Russian President Vladimir Putin in person at a 2018 summit in Finland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But all along, Trump has maintained that the notion that his campaign had conspired with the Russians was a \"hoax,\" one he said was perpetuated by what he called biased conspirators and Democrats desperate for an excuse about why they lost the 2016 election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president also frequently referred to the investigation led by Mueller as a \"witch hunt\" begun by Democrats based on unproven claims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, suggestions about Russian cyberattacks against the U.S. appeared as early as 2015, when Britain's signals intelligence agency \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/06/us/politics/russia-hack-report.html\">detected Russian activity aimed at political targets\u003c/a> in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then in the summer of 2016, an Australian diplomat told American officials that a Trump campaign aide he had met in London — \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/09/07/645539743/ex-trump-aide-papadopoulos-1st-charged-in-russia-probe-sentenced-to-14-days\">junior foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos\u003c/a> — said Russians or their agents had been offering him dirt on Hillary Clinton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FBI began to investigate Papadopoulos and others, including another campaign adviser, Carter Page; onetime campaign chairman \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/03/13/702743703/paul-manafort-to-serve-total-of-more-than-7-years-following-d-c-guilty-plea\">Paul Manafort\u003c/a>; and national security adviser Michael Flynn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Papadopoulos, Manafort and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/18/677558000/federal-judge-delays-michael-flynn-sentencing-in-case-of-lying-to-feds\">Flynn\u003c/a> all were eventually charged, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/09/643444815/all-the-criminal-charges-to-emerge-so-far-from-robert-muellers-investigation\">along with several others\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Long-burning fuse\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The existence of the investigation remained an official secret through the election in 2016 and until the early spring of 2017, when Comey revealed at a public hearing of the House intelligence committee that it not only had taken place — it was ongoing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump fired Comey that May. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein then \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/05/17/528846598/former-fbi-director-mueller-appointed-special-counsel-to-oversee-russia-probe\">commissioned Mueller to take over the inquiry as a special counsel\u003c/a> within the Justice Department.
