His path to security work began as a federal agent, investigating international cybercrime at the NASA Office of Inspector General, tracking down hackers who tried to hijack NASA computers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is an interesting trend: Silicon Valley has been slowly staffing up with former agents — from the FBI, the Secret Service, or in this case, NASA. The matter even came up at a recent congressional hearing on Russia’s influence campaign on social media, where a Republican lawmaker \u003ca href=\"https://www.c-span.org/video/?436362-1/facebook-google-twitter-executives-testify-russias-influence-2016-election&start=5532\">asked a Facebook executive\u003c/a> why his company needed staff with security clearances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a way, it’s a reflection of modern crime. Criminals send emails, follow each other on Facebook, find victims on dating sites. Tech companies don’t want to be used for criminal schemes, and hiring highly trained federal investigators helps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”dxqi0DRrVYpxwb9oV6IxAT2sIt8z7wl8″]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there’s also something else. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The government doesn’t always have the birds-eye view anymore,” says Tom Pageler, a former Secret Service agent, who’s now also in the tech industry. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says it used to be that the government had more of our data: Social Security numbers, driver’s licenses, voter registration. Now, it’s private companies that know where we go online, who we’re talking to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that actually what is happening today is what we were hoping for back then,” Pageler says, referring to his days in the Secret Service in the the early 2000s. There is now “a really good partnership, where well-trained individuals are going into the private industry and know how to investigate the case and package it properly for law enforcement to do what they need to do,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Charts on the Walls\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>I met the Zadig, the Oath threat investigations chief, at the company’s Sunnyvale headquarters for essentially a super nerdy ride-along, which is how I found myself staring at that intense chart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The chart shows who did what to whom, where they are located, how they are connected to each other,” he says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His investigators can’t see the content of emails — that’s law enforcement warrant territory — but they \u003cem>can \u003c/em>connect email accounts by seeing who’s emailing whom, or whether the same phone number gets used to sign up. They can then scour the Web for social networks or other public digital trails connected to those emails and phone numbers — trying to put emails to names, faces and locations. Occasionally, they find the suspects on Facebook posing with wads of cash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We will print these charts out 2, 3 feet wide and they’ll be longer than the conference room table,” Zadig says. “And we’ll often sit down with law enforcement prosecutors and walk them through: Here’s how this account connects to this account, here’s how we identified this person.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes, Zadig says, his team would return later for a follow-up “and we’ll see these charts on the walls, law enforcement or prosecutors have marked on them, they’ve made new connections that we hadn’t made.” He says his team’s work has led to more than 150 arrests in about three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zadig’s team usually comes in after something illegal already happened. This includes the giant \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/10/03/555016024/every-yahoo-account-that-existed-in-mid-2013-was-likely-hacked\">hacks of Yahoo itself\u003c/a>, which happened in 2013 and 2014 and were disclosed by the company in late 2016. The company has not been able to identify the 2013 hack, but for the 2014 breach, the Justice Department \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/us-charges-russian-fsb-officers-and-their-criminal-conspirators-hacking-yahoo-and-millions\">has indicted\u003c/a> four people: a Canadian hacker, \u003ca href=\"https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/11/canadian-man-pleads-guilty-admits-role-in-massive-2014-yahoo-hack/\">who has pleaded guilty\u003c/a>, and three Russians, two of whom are accused as agents of the Russian government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11638345\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/img_3928-2f6858489b28df36f6eb17370ecb827270d4ea61-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"As a former federal agent, Zadig has a collection of these so-called challenge coins, which are exchanged by law enforcement agents during visits.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11638345\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">As a former federal agent, Zadig has a collection of these so-called challenge coins, which are exchanged by law enforcement agents during visits. \u003ccite>(Alina Selyukh/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>‘We are a private company’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Not all investigations end up being shared with law enforcement. Some spammers might simply be shut down by the internal team. Jasdeep Singh Bhalla, a software developer on Zadig’s team, showed me an automated search tool he’s been building for months to dig up all accounts one spammer might create using bots, allowing the team to shut them down in one fell swoop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In a matter of 30 seconds, you’ve got 70 associated accounts,” Singh Bhalla says, as a massive web of related accounts populates his screen. This is an extreme case: someone had created some 1,200 related accounts. “If you do this manually,” Singh Bhalla says, “it would take you two months to search.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And here’s an example of how a case that does end up resulting in arrests might develop inside a tech company. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few years back, a bank alerted Yahoo that someone was hacking into accounts and switching associated email addresses to Yahoo emails. But when Zadig’s team looked in, they found something else: subject lines indicating that numerous tax filings were being completed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bigger scheme was tax return fraud. Yahoo’s investigators could see dozens of Yahoo accounts created to file tax returns with various tax providers, indicating that numerous refunds were being issued and cashed out. (Two guys were later arrested as part of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/article45492507.html\">massive identity-theft sweep\u003c/a> in the Miami area.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”pZkjLNGp9ojZvuA5a8r9D2od5hcvsXiP”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For law enforcement, this kind of information is only available with a search warrant — for each email account. They might have never connected these particular dots, and definitely not this fast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And this can be a touchy comparison. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s a point that Zadig made at least three times in two days: “We are not law enforcement; we work for a private company … We don’t want to be accused of being an agent of law enforcement, of doing things that would normally require a legal process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I asked Zadig and Pageler — who’s now the chief risk and security officer at Neustar — why they’d left public service, both offered similar stories. Those had been dream jobs — Pageler even says he’d felt physically sick to leave the Secret Service. But the hours were extreme, the travel intense, the pay not as good — both men wanted a more family-friendly lifestyle. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Pageler was a special agent, he established the San Francisco electronic crimes task force, meant to spur exactly what he says is happening now: better coordination and cooperation between the tech companies and the government. “It’s really pretty awesome for me to see,” he says. “I feel like we’re on the path that I was working for and I think it’s working very well.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

The company has not been able to identify the 2013 hack, but for the 2014 breach, the Justice Department \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/us-charges-russian-fsb-officers-and-their-criminal-conspirators-hacking-yahoo-and-millions\">has indicted\u003c/a> four people: a Canadian hacker, \u003ca href=\"https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/11/canadian-man-pleads-guilty-admits-role-in-massive-2014-yahoo-hack/\">who has pleaded guilty\u003c/a>, and three Russians, two of whom are accused as agents of the Russian government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11638345\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/img_3928-2f6858489b28df36f6eb17370ecb827270d4ea61-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"As a former federal agent, Zadig has a collection of these so-called challenge coins, which are exchanged by law enforcement agents during visits.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11638345\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">As a former federal agent, Zadig has a collection of these so-called challenge coins, which are exchanged by law enforcement agents during visits. \u003ccite>(Alina Selyukh/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>‘We are a private company’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Not all investigations end up being shared with law enforcement. Some spammers might simply be shut down by the internal team. Jasdeep Singh Bhalla, a software developer on Zadig’s team, showed me an automated search tool he’s been building for months to dig up all accounts one spammer might create using bots, allowing the team to shut them down in one fell swoop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In a matter of 30 seconds, you’ve got 70 associated accounts,” Singh Bhalla says, as a massive web of related accounts populates his screen. This is an extreme case: someone had created some 1,200 related accounts. “If you do this manually,” Singh Bhalla says, “it would take you two months to search.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And here’s an example of how a case that does end up resulting in arrests might develop inside a tech company. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few years back, a bank alerted Yahoo that someone was hacking into accounts and switching associated email addresses to Yahoo emails. But when Zadig’s team looked in, they found something else: subject lines indicating that numerous tax filings were being completed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bigger scheme was tax return fraud. Yahoo’s investigators could see dozens of Yahoo accounts created to file tax returns with various tax providers, indicating that numerous refunds were being issued and cashed out. (Two guys were later arrested as part of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/article45492507.html\">massive identity-theft sweep\u003c/a> in the Miami area.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For law enforcement, this kind of information is only available with a search warrant — for each email account. They might have never connected these particular dots, and definitely not this fast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And this can be a touchy comparison. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s a point that Zadig made at least three times in two days: “We are not law enforcement; we work for a private company … We don’t want to be accused of being an agent of law enforcement, of doing things that would normally require a legal process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I asked Zadig and Pageler — who’s now the chief risk and security officer at Neustar — why they’d left public service, both offered similar stories. Those had been dream jobs — Pageler even says he’d felt physically sick to leave the Secret Service. But the hours were extreme, the travel intense, the pay not as good — both men wanted a more family-friendly lifestyle. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>I grew up in San Luis Obispo, a small town about 20 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean in Central California. I was raised primarily by my grandmother, Anna Herrera. She was a very affectionate woman who liked to tell jokes and stories and take walks along the river behind her small house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there was one thing we hardly ever talked about. I knew we were Salinan Indian, but — scarred by a history of racism and oppression endured by her family — she rarely brought up what happened to us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Salinan suffered what all California Indian tribes went through: genocide. Spanish missionaries came in the 18th century and forced them into slavery to build 21 missions that still line the state. In 1849, the Gold Rush brought settlers from the east into California and drove many Indians from their traditional hunting and gathering places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The situation turned dire in 1851 when Gov. Peter Burnett declared during his \u003ca href=\"http://governors.library.ca.gov/addresses/s_01-Burnett2.html\">state of the state address\u003c/a> that “a war of extermination will continue to be waged between the races until the Indian race becomes extinct.” Many, including our own Salinan people, hid in plain sight, taking on Spanish names.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/570208941/570603541\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Losing Ancestral Lands\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In 1997, I was in my early 20s and working on a short film about my then-76-year-old grandmother. I asked her to take me to where many of our ancestors are laid to rest: a place called Toro Creek, nestled in the Santa Lucia mountain range. With gorgeous views stretching from the mountains to the sea, it’s prime California real estate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My family lived at Toro Creek, an ancestral Salinan village, for generations — my great-great-great grandmother, Clara Encinales, is buried out there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Salinan no longer have land. One reason for that: The Salinan are among 40 California tribes that lack what’s known as federal recognition. That’s due to a number of factors, including being forced into labor by Spanish missionaries.

I was raised primarily by my grandmother, Anna Herrera. She was a very affectionate woman who liked to tell jokes and stories and take walks along the river behind her small house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there was one thing we hardly ever talked about. I knew we were Salinan Indian, but — scarred by a history of racism and oppression endured by her family — she rarely brought up what happened to us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Salinan suffered what all California Indian tribes went through: genocide. Spanish missionaries came in the 18th century and forced them into slavery to build 21 missions that still line the state. In 1849, the Gold Rush brought settlers from the east into California and drove many Indians from their traditional hunting and gathering places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The situation turned dire in 1851 when Gov. Peter Burnett declared during his \u003ca href=\"http://governors.library.ca.gov/addresses/s_01-Burnett2.html\">state of the state address\u003c/a> that “a war of extermination will continue to be waged between the races until the Indian race becomes extinct.” Many, including our own Salinan people, hid in plain sight, taking on Spanish names.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/570208941/570603541\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Losing Ancestral Lands\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In 1997, I was in my early 20s and working on a short film about my then-76-year-old grandmother.

This will essentially shift all enforcement to the Federal Trade Commission, which polices violations rather than pre-empts them through regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Broadband companies have been saying that they do not intend to block, slow down or prioritize any web traffic as a result of this repeal, arguing that it's not in their interest to aggravate their users by messing with their internet traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Net neutrality activists, however, have been \u003ca href=\"https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/12/net-neutrality-supporters-break-the-internet-in-latest-protest/\">rallying widespread protests\u003c/a> against the vote, saying the repeal will empower broadband companies to act as gatekeepers of the internet, for example allowing them to prioritize their own video-streaming services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consumer interest groups have told NPR that they are also planning to pursue a lawsuit challenging Thursday's FCC decision, which would be the fourth related \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/06/14/471286113/u-s-appeals-court-holds-up-net-neutrality-rules-in-full\">court case\u003c/a> in a decade.

They have argued, among other things, that the FCC rushed the procedure and ignored a massive outpouring of millions of public comments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commenting process has been mired in controversy after several reviews \u003ca href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/millions-of-people-post-comments-on-federal-regulations-many-are-fake-1513099188\">found a number of the comments\u003c/a> to be fraudulent or duplicative, using fake names, fake addresses and even names of dead people.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Debate\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, who voted against the rules in 2015, has portrayed the Obama-era regulations — which put broadband providers under the strictest-ever FCC oversight — as government \"micromanaging the internet.\" He and broadband companies have argued that the regulations have stifled innovation and investment in broadband networks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What is responsible for the phenomenal development of the internet? Certainly wasn't heavy-handed government regulation,\" Pai said on Thursday, adding his oft-repeated line that \"there was no problem to solve. The internet wasn't broken in 2015, we were not living in some digital dystopia. ... It is time for us to bring faster, better and cheaper internet access to all Americans.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Large tech companies — such as Netflix, Google and Facebook — have long spoken in support of strict net neutrality rules. However, as they've grown in size, their advocacy \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/12/technology/net-neutrality-fcc-tech.html?_r=0\">has become more muted\u003c/a>, putting on the forefront smaller competitors like Etsy and Vimeo, which argue that startups stand to lose the most on an internet that allows for special \"priority\" traffic deals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"WA8g6zxu9UZopjREKUB0PU7X7QNwcOOc\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have heard from innovators, worried that we are standing up a 'mother-may-I' regime, where the broadband provider becomes arbiter of acceptable online business models,\" Democratic FCC Commissioner Mignon Clyburn said in a blistering dissent on Thursday, adding, \"When the current 2015 net neutrality rules are laid to waste, we may be left with no single authority with the power to protect consumers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, the Internet Association, which represents dozens of tech companies, called Pai's repeal \"a departure from more than a decade of broad, bipartisan consensus on the rules governing the internet\" and amounted to \"relying\" on internet providers \"to live to their own 'promises.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican FCC Commissioner Mike O'Rielly called the concerns of potential net neutrality violations \"guilt by imagination\" and \"baseless fear-mongering.\" He said, \"I'm simply not persuaded that heavy-handed rules are needed to protect from hypothetical harm.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Editor's note: NPR's legal counsel has filed comments with the FCC on behalf of the public radio system, opposing the repeal of the 2015 net neutrality rules. \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://ecfsapi.fcc.gov/file/10717112197099/NPR%20Restoring%20Internet%20Freedom%20Comments.Final.pdf\">\u003cem>You can read them here.\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

Livestreams from inside the empty rooms showed security guards with what appeared to be bomb-sniffing dogs.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What Happens Now\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In undoing the regulations, the FCC has reasserted one of the net neutrality requirements: that internet providers — such as Comcast, Verizon and AT&T — disclose to their users what exactly they do to web traffic. This will essentially shift all enforcement to the Federal Trade Commission, which polices violations rather than pre-empts them through regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Broadband companies have been saying that they do not intend to block, slow down or prioritize any web traffic as a result of this repeal, arguing that it's not in their interest to aggravate their users by messing with their internet traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Net neutrality activists, however, have been \u003ca href=\"https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/12/net-neutrality-supporters-break-the-internet-in-latest-protest/\">rallying widespread protests\u003c/a> against the vote, saying the repeal will empower broadband companies to act as gatekeepers of the internet, for example allowing them to prioritize their own video-streaming services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consumer interest groups have told NPR that they are also planning to pursue a lawsuit challenging Thursday's FCC decision, which would be the fourth related \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/06/14/471286113/u-s-appeals-court-holds-up-net-neutrality-rules-in-full\">court case\u003c/a> in a decade.

They have argued, among other things, that the FCC rushed the procedure and ignored a massive outpouring of millions of public comments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commenting process has been mired in controversy after several reviews \u003ca href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/millions-of-people-post-comments-on-federal-regulations-many-are-fake-1513099188\">found a number of the comments\u003c/a> to be fraudulent or duplicative, using fake names, fake addresses and even names of dead people.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Debate\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, who voted against the rules in 2015, has portrayed the Obama-era regulations — which put broadband providers under the strictest-ever FCC oversight — as government \"micromanaging the internet.\" He and broadband companies have argued that the regulations have stifled innovation and investment in broadband networks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What is responsible for the phenomenal development of the internet? Certainly wasn't heavy-handed government regulation,\" Pai said on Thursday, adding his oft-repeated line that \"there was no problem to solve. The internet wasn't broken in 2015, we were not living in some digital dystopia. ... It is time for us to bring faster, better and cheaper internet access to all Americans.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Large tech companies — such as Netflix, Google and Facebook — have long spoken in support of strict net neutrality rules. However, as they've grown in size, their advocacy \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/12/technology/net-neutrality-fcc-tech.html?_r=0\">has become more muted\u003c/a>, putting on the forefront smaller competitors like Etsy and Vimeo, which argue that startups stand to lose the most on an internet that allows for special \"priority\" traffic deals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have heard from innovators, worried that we are standing up a 'mother-may-I' regime, where the broadband provider becomes arbiter of acceptable online business models,\" Democratic FCC Commissioner Mignon Clyburn said in a blistering dissent on Thursday, adding, \"When the current 2015 net neutrality rules are laid to waste, we may be left with no single authority with the power to protect consumers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, the Internet Association, which represents dozens of tech companies, called Pai's repeal \"a departure from more than a decade of broad, bipartisan consensus on the rules governing the internet\" and amounted to \"relying\" on internet providers \"to live to their own 'promises.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican FCC Commissioner Mike O'Rielly called the concerns of potential net neutrality violations \"guilt by imagination\" and \"baseless fear-mongering.\" He said, \"I'm simply not persuaded that heavy-handed rules are needed to protect from hypothetical harm.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Editor's note: NPR's legal counsel has filed comments with the FCC on behalf of the public radio system, opposing the repeal of the 2015 net neutrality rules. \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://ecfsapi.fcc.gov/file/10717112197099/NPR%20Restoring%20Internet%20Freedom%20Comments.Final.pdf\">\u003cem>You can read them here.\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

But in other cases, women have shared their experiences and there has been no change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silicon Valley engineer Niniane Wang wanted to be certain that when she came forward, the man responsible paid a price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wang has the kind of pedigree that should equal dollar signs for any investor: a master’s in computer science, founder of Google Desktop and lead engineering positions at Microsoft.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for women in Silicon Valley, all those credentials \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2017/11/16/564498133/struggling-for-investments-silicon-valley-women-reluctant-to-speak-out-on-harass\">might not add up to much\u003c/a>. Over the past decade, the share of women getting venture funding has hovered around 2 percent. Wang is among the few who did manage to get some of that money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she hit a snag one night back in 2010. Justin Caldbeck, an investor in a startup incubator that she ran, asked to meet for a drink to talk about a company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/568455103/570603553\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I showed up,” Wang says, “he switched the conversation to be questions about my dating life and then started to pressure me for sex.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wang didn’t know what to say. She was afraid to offend an investor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She politely told Caldbeck she didn’t want to mix business with pleasure. But she says Caldbeck continued to pursue her, not just that night but over a period of weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I felt very trapped,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, she says, Caldbeck stopped. Still, Wang didn’t want to go public because she worried it would jeopardize her relationships with other investors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She had seen too many cases where women told their stories only to be ignored or disbelieved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You worked up all this courage to tell your story and the perpetrator doesn’t have any consequences,” Wang says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”w2GuW1DZ1GIUPZtzKUrqoQInPjaEfkro”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, she saw \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/06/21/533754816/uber-founder-resigns-under-pressure-as-ceo-published-report-says\">the resignation of Uber’s CEO\u003c/a> and other executives after the company got caught up in a harassment scandal. Seeing how they were brought down inspired her. With the logic of an engineer, she developed her own method for her situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, she set a goal for herself: Stop Caldbeck from harassing other women. Then, she gathered evidence — texts, emails, phone records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Word got around the whisper network and two other victims of Caldbeck’s harassment came forward with her. They thought hard about the best way to talk about what happened to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s very important if you want results that you actually tell the story in a dispassionate way with evidence that describes the details of what happened without extraneous, irrelevant content,” Wang says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They strategically picked a media outlet: \u003ca href=\"https://www.theinformation.com/silicon-valley-women-tell-of-vcs-unwanted-advances\">The Information\u003c/a>, an online news site read by Silicon Valley elite. They felt it was the best way to show people in the industry what was happening to women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, on a Thursday in June, the article was published. “I felt at the time like I was jumping off a cliff and taking two other women with me,” Wang says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first, nothing happened. Wang had a network of people on social media, so she made sure they saw the article and reposted it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People were tweeting. I messaged some of them and gave them the info they were asking for,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”a9KpLsy6HzI6gnLwbRdYCk3UbHftUvyj”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the course of four days, Caldbeck went from denying the allegations to \u003ca href=\"https://www.axios.com/binary-capital-partner-quits-2448160422.html\">resigning from his venture capital firm\u003c/a>, Binary Capital. He told NPR: “I’m sorry to any women that I’ve ever put in a bad position or made uncomfortable through my actions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wang’s clearheaded engineering strategy had worked. In fact, it had worked so well that it actually impressed some investors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of them was Mike Hirshland. He says he knew Wang a little, and he was always impressed with her. So when he saw the story, he sent her a note. “In a time that she probably felt like she was in the middle of a tempest,” he says. “I just wanted to share with her that I was a big fan and hoped someday to back her.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other good things happened for Wang. Her current startup was purchased by Niantic, a Google spinoff, and her boyfriend proposed to her. Her success sparked more women to come forward, and some of them came to her for advice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of them was Kater Gordon. “When I saw Niniane come forward this summer I reached out to her,” she says. “I just thought, ‘Man, you’re so brave.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gordon told Niniane her story. It involved a powerful Hollywood figure — Matthew Weiner — the creator of the hit series \u003cem>Mad Men\u003c/em>. When she was 27, Gordon was his writing assistant; she won an Emmy for her work. Gordon says she often worked long hours late into the night alone with Weiner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then one night, she says, things took a different turn. “We were working together, and he told me that I owed it to him to let him see me naked,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gordon ignored the comment, but she says it made her question whether Weiner really thought she was talented. It changed their relationship. He began to yell at her during work hours. Eventually, she left the show and gave up her career in Hollywood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, eight years later, she wanted Wang’s help to tell her story. Wang sat her down and walked through how she had done it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wang told Gordon she needed a goal. For Gordon, it was about restoring her reputation as a writer and warning other women about Weiner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, just as she had done, Wang told Gordon to develop a sort of chart with ways to achieve her goal. That involved finding other people to verify her account of what happened and telling her story in a way that was dispassionate and clear. Then, finding the best publication for her target audience. And if needed, Gordon should think of social media contacts that could help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She found a pattern for herself that worked,” says Gordon, “and then she’s expanding it to include other people, so that … you’re not starting from square one.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gordon’s account did go public. Weiner denies her allegations. But Gordon feels she achieved her goal of warning other women about him. And now she plans to pass this method on to others.\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://www.google-analytics.com/__utm.gif?utmac=UA-5828686-4&utmdt=How+A+Female+Engineer+Built+A+Public+Case+Against+A+Sexual+Harasser+In+Silicon+Valley&utme=8(APIKey)9(MDAxOTAwOTE4MDEyMTkxMDAzNjczZDljZA004)\">\u003c/p>\n\n",

She was afraid to offend an investor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She politely told Caldbeck she didn’t want to mix business with pleasure. But she says Caldbeck continued to pursue her, not just that night but over a period of weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I felt very trapped,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, she says, Caldbeck stopped. Still, Wang didn’t want to go public because she worried it would jeopardize her relationships with other investors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She had seen too many cases where women told their stories only to be ignored or disbelieved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You worked up all this courage to tell your story and the perpetrator doesn’t have any consequences,” Wang says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, she saw \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/06/21/533754816/uber-founder-resigns-under-pressure-as-ceo-published-report-says\">the resignation of Uber’s CEO\u003c/a> and other executives after the company got caught up in a harassment scandal. Seeing how they were brought down inspired her. With the logic of an engineer, she developed her own method for her situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, she set a goal for herself: Stop Caldbeck from harassing other women. Then, she gathered evidence — texts, emails, phone records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Word got around the whisper network and two other victims of Caldbeck’s harassment came forward with her. They thought hard about the best way to talk about what happened to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s very important if you want results that you actually tell the story in a dispassionate way with evidence that describes the details of what happened without extraneous, irrelevant content,” Wang says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They strategically picked a media outlet: \u003ca href=\"https://www.theinformation.com/silicon-valley-women-tell-of-vcs-unwanted-advances\">The Information\u003c/a>, an online news site read by Silicon Valley elite. They felt it was the best way to show people in the industry what was happening to women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, on a Thursday in June, the article was published. “I felt at the time like I was jumping off a cliff and taking two other women with me,” Wang says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first, nothing happened. Wang had a network of people on social media, so she made sure they saw the article and reposted it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People were tweeting. I messaged some of them and gave them the info they were asking for,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the course of four days, Caldbeck went from denying the allegations to \u003ca href=\"https://www.axios.com/binary-capital-partner-quits-2448160422.html\">resigning from his venture capital firm\u003c/a>, Binary Capital. He told NPR: “I’m sorry to any women that I’ve ever put in a bad position or made uncomfortable through my actions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wang’s clearheaded engineering strategy had worked. In fact, it had worked so well that it actually impressed some investors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of them was Mike Hirshland. He says he knew Wang a little, and he was always impressed with her. So when he saw the story, he sent her a note. “In a time that she probably felt like she was in the middle of a tempest,” he says. “I just wanted to share with her that I was a big fan and hoped someday to back her.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other good things happened for Wang. Her current startup was purchased by Niantic, a Google spinoff, and her boyfriend proposed to her. Her success sparked more women to come forward, and some of them came to her for advice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of them was Kater Gordon. “When I saw Niniane come forward this summer I reached out to her,” she says. “I just thought, ‘Man, you’re so brave.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gordon told Niniane her story. It involved a powerful Hollywood figure — Matthew Weiner — the creator of the hit series \u003cem>Mad Men\u003c/em>. When she was 27, Gordon was his writing assistant; she won an Emmy for her work. Gordon says she often worked long hours late into the night alone with Weiner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then one night, she says, things took a different turn. “We were working together, and he told me that I owed it to him to let him see me naked,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gordon ignored the comment, but she says it made her question whether Weiner really thought she was talented. It changed their relationship. He began to yell at her during work hours. Eventually, she left the show and gave up her career in Hollywood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, eight years later, she wanted Wang’s help to tell her story. Wang sat her down and walked through how she had done it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wang told Gordon she needed a goal. For Gordon, it was about restoring her reputation as a writer and warning other women about Weiner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, just as she had done, Wang told Gordon to develop a sort of chart with ways to achieve her goal. That involved finding other people to verify her account of what happened and telling her story in a way that was dispassionate and clear. Then, finding the best publication for her target audience. And if needed, Gordon should think of social media contacts that could help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She found a pattern for herself that worked,” says Gordon, “and then she’s expanding it to include other people, so that … you’re not starting from square one.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He said that within 12 months — or by July 2017 — transgender people also would be able to enlist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump, however, tweeted in July that the federal government “will not accept or allow” transgender troops to serve “in any capacity” in the military. A month later, he issued a formal order telling the Pentagon to extend the ban. He gave the department six months to determine what to do about those currently serving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s decision was quickly challenged in court, and two U.S. district court judges have already ruled against the ban. Part of one ruling required the government to allow transgender individuals to enlist beginning Jan. 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The government had asked that the Jan. 1 requirement be put on hold while the appeal proceeds. The Pentagon move, however, signals the growing sense within the government that authorities are likely to lose the legal fight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The controversy will not be about whether you allow transgender enlistees, it’s going to be on what terms,” said Brad Carson, who was deeply involved in the last administration’s decisions. “That’s really where the controversy will lie.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carson worried, however, that the Defense Department could opt to comply with a deadline on allowing transgender recruits, but “under such onerous terms that practically there will be none.” Carson, who worked for Carter as the acting undersecretary of defense for personnel, said requiring 18 months of stability in the preferred sex is a reasonable time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It doesn’t have any basis in science,” he said, noting that experts have suggested six months is enough. “But as a compromise among competing interests and perhaps to err on the side of caution, 18 months was what people came around to. And that’s a reasonable position and defensible.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Border officers apprehended 310,531 people for being in the country illegally in fiscal 2017, a 25 percent decrease from the year before. Meanwhile, arrests by agents with ICE in the interior of the country spiked from the year before to 143,470 immigrants — mostly Central Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly after taking office, Trump ordered immigration agents to change their priorities. No longer would they arrest only unauthorized immigrants who had committed serious crimes or had entered the country recently. Under Trump's crackdown, federal officers were encouraged to arrest anyone they come across who is in the country illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a result, arrests of \"non-criminal aliens\" — immigrants whose only crime was an immigrant violation — have risen 42 percent. ICE acting chief Homan says arrests of gang members — including the violent MS-13 gang — have jumped 83 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homan stressed that 92 percent of all ICE arrests this fiscal year were of those who had criminal convictions. The arrests were of immigration fugitives or those who illegally re-entered the country. \"We arrested more criminals this year than last year,\" Homan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the numbers of people trying to cross the southern border declined 25 percent, Ron Vitiello, acting deputy commissioner of Customs and Border Protection, said the agency is still concerned about continuing illegal entries by families and unaccompanied children from Central America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some immigrants in shelters in Mexican border cities say they are now afraid to cross because of tough talk coming from Washington and stepped-up arrests in the interior.
