His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>[dropcap]T[/dropcap]ameika Lovell was retrieving baggage at New York City’s Kennedy Airport when two female U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers stopped her for a “random search.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was Nov. 27, 2016, the Sunday after Thanksgiving, and the school counselor from Long Island had just arrived from a short Jamaica vacation. Lovell, who is black, had been stopped and felt profiled before, but this time a CBP supervisor began posing questions she hadn’t heard previously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Don’t you think you’re spending too much money traveling?” Lovell, 34, recalls him asking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What allegedly happened next is outlined in a harrowing civil lawsuit Lovell filled in March in federal court. And the assertions aren’t unique, based on allegations in similar suits filed not just in New York but also in California, Arizona, Texas, Michigan and Pennsylvania.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inside a secure room, Lovell’s litigation asserts, one of the female officers searched Lovell’s belongings, presumably for illegal drugs, and asked Lovell if she were using a tampon or sanitary pad. The question upset her, but she replied “no” and complied when told to remove her shoes, lift her arms and spread her legs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the other female officer observed, hand on her firearm, the suit says, the first touched Lovell from “from head to toe,” before ordering her to squat. The officer squeezed Lovell’s breasts “hard,” and allegedly “placed her right hand into her [Lovell’s] pants ‘forcibly’ inserting four gloved fingers into plaintiff’s vagina” before parting Lovell’s buttocks with her hand “for viewing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lovell was left “violated, shocked and afraid,” according to her suit, which accuses CBP officers of violating not only her constitutional rights, but the agency’s own \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/2017-Sep/CBP%20TEDS%20Policy%20Oct2015.pdf\">handbook\u003c/a> as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An August 1 Justice Department filing sought to dismiss CBP and individual officers, but not the U.S government, as defendants. Nevertheless, Lovell’s lawsuit — and 10 others since 2011 reviewed by the Center for Public Integrity — raise timely and unsettling questions about how far border and other immigration officers can go with their considerable power to detain people at the nation’s 328 ports of entry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The existing rules can be shocking for travelers. \u003ca href=\"https://fas.org/sgp/crs/homesec/RL31826.pdf\">Legal precedents\u003c/a> grant federal officers at ports of entry the power, without warrants, to require people to strip for a “visual inspection” of genitals and rectums, and to submit to a “monitored bowel movement” to check for secreted drugs. At the same time, a \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/2017-Sep/CBP%20TEDS%20Policy%20Oct2015.pdf\">CBP detention-and-search handbook\u003c/a> instructs officers to record a solid justification for every single step beyond a frisk, and to respect detainees’ dignity and “freedom from unreasonable searches” and to “consider the totality of the circumstances … when making a decision to search.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The handbook also warns officers against engaging in what could be considered either a “visual or physical intrusion” into vaginal or anal cavities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet in these suits, innocent women — including minor girls — who were not found with any contraband say CBP officers subjected them to harsh interrogation that led to indignities that included unreasonable strip searches while menstruating to prohibited genital probing. Some women were also handcuffed and transported to hospitals where, against their will, they underwent pelvic exams, X-rays and in one case, drugging via IV, according to suits. Invasive medical procedures require a detainee’s consent or a warrant. In two cases, women were billed for procedures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suits underscore mounting criticism that accountability for officer conduct is too weak — at a time when President Donald Trump is beefing up the ranks of CBP officers and urging ever-tougher crackdowns at the border and other ports of entry. Settlements show that the government has opted to close some cases before trials that could require CBP court testimony; six of these suits have resulted in settlements that cost taxpayers more than $1.2 million in payments to plaintiffs by the U.S. Treasury Department. A \u003ca href=\"https://www.upi.com/Canadian-woman-says-was-groped-at-border/34791297392076/\">Canadian traveler\u003c/a> who sued \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/local-media-release/federal-jury-clears-detroit-cbp-officers-wrongdoing\">lost a jury trial\u003c/a> in 2013. Other cases continue to wind their way through the system.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Minors Strip Searched?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In one pending suit, filed in March in Fresno, California, a detained undocumented teen from Guatemala alleges that in 2016 in Presidio, Texas, a male CBP agent touched her vaginal area and breasts after ordering her to strip. He allegedly said he was checking for weapons. A federal court has sealed the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11688719\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/pic1.jpg\" alt=\"A lawsuit alleges that CBP officers violated a teen’s rights when they forced her to strip so they could scrutinize her private parts for hidden drugs.\" width=\"800\" height=\"280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11688719\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/pic1.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/pic1-160x56.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/pic1-240x84.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/pic1-375x131.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/pic1-520x182.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A lawsuit alleges that CBP officers violated a teen’s rights when they forced her to strip so they could scrutinize her private parts for hidden drugs.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In February in San Diego, another suit filed in federal court on behalf of C.R., a 16-year-old, alleges that CBP strip-searched her last September as she and her adult sisters were returning from a family visit in Mexico through the San Ysidro pedestrian port.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sisters were allegedly “flagged” after a false drug-sniffing dog alert. Female officers took C.R. aside, the suit asserted, and allegedly told the tearful girl to disrobe, hand over a sanitary pad—and squat and cough “while officers probed and shined a flashlight at her vaginal and anal areas.” Justice Department attorneys representing officers have filed to dismiss C.R.’s suit, arguing that it was not filed properly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But C.R.’s alleged experience isn’t isolated: It is one of three alleged San Diego border strip searches of Hispanic minors and one 42-year-old Hispanic woman reported just since last September to the San Diego office of the American Friends Service Committee, a rights group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And C.R.’s lawsuit isn’t the first of its kind filed in San Diego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unbeknownst to the public, almost two years before C.R.’s search, records reviewed by the Center show that in 2015 the U.S. government quietly settled a different lawsuit for $500,000 with a woman also subjected to a prolonged ordeal at the San Ysidro port — an ordeal that allegedly involved vaginal probing, twice, by a CBP officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11688727\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/RS5955_166174595-800x457.jpg\" alt=\"A US Border Patrol agent stands near a crossing to Mexico at the San Ysidro port of entry along the US-Mexico border near San Diego, California on April 4, 2013.\" width=\"800\" height=\"457\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11688727\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/RS5955_166174595-800x457.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/RS5955_166174595-160x91.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/RS5955_166174595-1020x582.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/RS5955_166174595-1200x685.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/RS5955_166174595.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/RS5955_166174595-1180x674.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/RS5955_166174595-960x548.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/RS5955_166174595-240x137.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/RS5955_166174595-375x214.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/RS5955_166174595-520x297.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A US Border Patrol agent stands near a crossing to Mexico at the San Ysidro port of entry along the US-Mexico border near San Diego, California on April 4, 2013. \u003ccite>(FREDERIC J. BROWN/AFP/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>CBP officials at Washington headquarters declined to comment on lawsuits, settled or pending, with the exception of the now-sealed suit filed by that undocumented Guatemalan teen in U.S. District Court in Fresno. In a statement, the agency said: \"We take allegations of misconduct seriously and there is no room in CBP for the mistreatment or misconduct of any kind toward those in our custody…. We fully cooperate with any criminal administrative investigation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CBP also said it has \"policies, procedures and training in place to ensure officers and agents treat travelers and those in custody with professionalism and courtesy, while protecting the civil rights, civil liberties, and well-being of every individual with whom we interact.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CBP declined to discuss, however, whether accused officers named in settled or pending suits have been investigated, absolved, disciplined, retrained, fired or moved to other jobs. The agency referred questions to the U.S. Justice Department, whose officials also declined comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Department generally has a policy not to discuss cases past or otherwise, as it could sometimes have implications on future matters,” media coordinator Devin O’Malley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CBP said its officers \"encounter persons attempting to smuggle narcotics into the United States internally, a very dangerous smuggling method that comes with the risk of great personal harm.\" But the agency would not discuss at what rates officers discover drugs secreted in travelers’ bodies. At a May 30 congressional hearing on borders and opioids in Tucson, Arizona, acting CBP field director Guadalupe Ramirez testified that officers “regularly find drugs concealed in body cavities,” as well as taped to bodies and hidden in vehicles and hygiene products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In New York, Lovell’s lawsuit says CBP officers’ search at JFK “shocked the conscience,” and caused her to seek immediate medical care at a hospital, as well as rape counseling. When the search ended, Lovell said, the CBP supervisor told her to expect other searches since she often travels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“'We’re the federal government and we have the right to search you the way we think we need to',” Lovell recalls him saying. “I’ll never forget that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May 2017, Lovell followed a standard procedure by filing a “federal tort claim” directly with CBP.

The family of a male autistic teen traumatized by a strip search, Rios said, decided against a complaint out of fear of retaliation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CBP officers, the CBP handbook says, should “weigh all factors” before an officer, who should ordinarily be of the same gender, searches a juvenile. Officers are told to seek parental consent for a strip search and refrain from touching or a “visual” search of a minor’s body cavities. If a parent refuses consent, officers should seek advice from CBP counsel. In addition to compensatory and punitive damages, C.R.’s suit in San Diego seeks an injunction blocking CBP defendants “from engaging in invasive law enforcement searches.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The handbook also instructs officers to perform duties “in a non-discriminatory manner.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A person’s ethnicity isn’t grounds for a search. But officers do consider factors such as travel to certain countries, unusual travel patterns and behavior that seems evasive or otherwise suspicious, according to lawyers who’ve represented travelers in suits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Canine contraband alerts are also a factor — but it’s not uncommon for alerts to be false, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/sites/default/files/field_document/2017-05-18_aclu_statement_house_homeland_security_hearing_critical_canine_contributions_to_the_dhs_mission.pdf\">American Civil Liberties Union\u003c/a> has argued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officers’ ability to initiate warrantless searches on “reasonable suspicion,” a lower threshold than “probable cause,” is grounded in arguments that ports merit greater scrutiny, as well as a 1985 Supreme Court ruling. In that case, \u003ca href=\"https://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-supreme-court/473/531.html\">\u003cem>United States vs. Montoya\u003c/em>,\u003c/a> the court found that a rectal exam revealing cocaine-filled balloons didn’t violate a woman’s Fourth Amendment rights because officers considered various factors and had “reasonable” concerns that she’d concealed drugs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Settled civil suits accusing officers of failing to wisely act on suspicions don’t establish guilt or criminal liability. But documents do reveal how searches escalated, and how attorneys attempted to defend CBP before settling.

I never felt so violated!!!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Plaintiff was visibly upset, crying and professing her innocence during and after the search,” the suit alleges. The officers allegedly “mocked” her, calling her a “basket case.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After 20 minutes the same female officer allegedly repeated a vaginal search.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I questioned why she was doing it again she told me ‘Because I am’ and the male officer behind her said, ‘What, do you work here?’ Even if I was a criminal NO ONE should be treated in this manner,” the woman wrote to CBP, which allegedly did not respond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around 10 p.m., an officer allegedly suggested “this is all wrong” and that he’d investigate. The suit alleges that the officer spoke with Contra Costa law enforcement about the warrant’s discrepancies and was told to hold the woman for later transport to that county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At about 1:40 a.m., the woman was handcuffed and driven to the Las Colinas Detention Facility, a San Diego County jail for women. She wasn’t released until she posted a $10,000 bond the next day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People with tremendous power are not always using it in a discerning fashion,” said San Diego attorney Timothy Scott, the woman’s lawyer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He accused officers of acting with “indifference, and compounding error with arrogance.” Scott said his client didn’t seek to air her grievances in media because she was so upset, and still doesn’t want to be identified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. government and CBP didn’t file responses to the suit, and within two months settled for the $500,000, according to Treasury Department records.

The woman allegedly explained that she travels often on airline employee discounts available to family members. “At no time did the CBP defendants contact the airline” to confirm her relative’s job or make other attempts to verify her story, her suit asserts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officers then tried to “shame” the detained woman into a false confession, the suit says, by asking if she was religious or had children. Her suit says that she was told she’d be released after a pat down. But after seven hours — and attempts to get her to consent to an X-ray — the woman was allegedly handcuffed, shackled and “dragged” from the airport and taken to a local hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officers “provided false and misleading information” to staff suggesting that she was “packing” drugs, the woman’s suit further alleges, and that she’d have to remain in a room “until she had urinated and defecated into a plastic container in the presence of an officer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a staff shift change, the suit alleges, a nurse announced that the woman’s heart rate was elevated, and doctors “involuntarily” admitted her to care due to “possible drug toxicity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the suit, the woman was tied to a bed with restraints, stripped naked by medical staff and had a tampon removed from her vagina during a body search. In court filings, the hospital doesn’t deny conducting the exam, administering sedatives using an IV, catheterizing the woman to collect urine and putting her through X-rays and abdominal and pelvic CT scans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The agents had no basis for their suspicion” of the plaintiff, her suit says. “Medical personnel confirmed what [the plaintiff] had told CBP agents from the moment she encountered them: that she had no contraband on her person.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justice Department attorneys, however, argue in a filing that the “federal defendants deny that CBP officers had no basis for their suspicions,” and that the Dominican Republic is “a known illegal drug source country.” CBP officers, the response alleges, asked the woman to “consent to an X-ray that would expeditiously determine” if drugs were inside her and “explored whether to seek a warrant” but did not because she was involuntarily admitted to the hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Plaintiff was afforded all constitutional rights and protections to which she was entitled at all material times to the incidents alleged,\" the response also argues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After she woke from a sedated state, the woman’s suit asserts, she was driven back to the airport and suffered an accident driving her own car to her destination. The woman’s lawyer said that his client asked not to be identified and that he refrain from commenting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital in Darby, Pennsylvania, where procedures were conducted, said in a statement: “While we cannot provide details about any specific patient's health or treatment, we strive to honor the sacredness and dignity of every person.” Documents show the hospital system agreed to close the case in what the woman’s attorney said is an undisclosed settlement.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>In Texas\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>A Hispanic U.S. citizen\u003cstrong>,\u003c/strong> 52-year-old “Jane Doe,” was returning from visiting a deported family friend in Mexico in December 2012 when CBP took her aside at about 2 p.m. at El Paso’s Cordova Bridge pedestrian port of entry for a “random” check, according to her lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit, which was filed and publicly disclosed by the ACLU, was settled in 2016 with a $450,000 payment by the U.S. Treasury Department and a total of another $1.1 million from El Paso’s University Medical Center and other medical defendants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During an initial frisk, Doe’s suit alleges, a CBP officer allegedly inserted a finger into the crevice of Doe’s buttocks. Then a CBP canine handler tapped his foot in front of Doe and his dog lunged, after which Doe, inside a room, was made to lower her pants and squat, while an officer allegedly looked at her anus with a flashlight. Another officer allegedly “pressed her fingers into Ms. Doe’s vagina and visually examined her genitalia with a flashlight. … Ms. Doe was understandably humiliated and she began crying.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around 4 p.m., a handcuffed Doe was taken to the medical center, where she was allegedly ordered to take a laxative and execute a bowel moment in the presence of CBP officers. She was then subjected to an X-ray, without a warrant or her consent, and handcuffed to an exam table and given a vaginal and anal exam followed by an abdominal CT scan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ms. Doe felt that she was being treated less than human, like an animal,” her suit asserts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jane Doe refused to sign a consent form that a CBP officer allegedly said would allow CBP to cover procedure costs. She was billed more than $5,000, according to her suit, which claims that CBP had a “pattern and practice” of using the hospital to carry out searches on suspected carriers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think this should give everyone pause, in terms of what the government is doing,” said Piñon of the ACLU, which represented Doe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The touchstone of the Fourth Amendment is reasonableness,” Piñon said, which means officers can’t keep invasively searching “on a whim.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In initial court filings, CBP officers either denied abuse or asserted “qualified immunity,” a defense for government officials if their actions don’t violate “clearly established” rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, though, the government settled. The University Medical Center also settled, issuing a statement that the agreement was “meant to bring closure for the plaintiff” and ensure that “we have taken steps to tighten our policies.” The settlement included a CBP commitment to provide one hour of extra training to officers in the El Paso region. The ACLU also wrote letters to hospitals along the border warning them of liability if they engage in unconstitutional searches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11688752\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/GettyImages-162774159-e1535152151275.jpg\" alt=\"A U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer from the Office of Field Operations (OFO) watches as people arrive to cross from Mexico into the United States on February 26, 2013 in Nogales, Arizona.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1296\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11688752\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer from the Office of Field Operations (OFO) watches as people arrive to cross from Mexico into the United States on February 26, 2013 in Nogales, Arizona. \u003ccite>(John Moore/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>In Arizona\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>An 18-year-old Hispanic U.S. citizen closed a lawsuit against CBP last October — terms haven’t been revealed — that accuses CBP of violating her rights after she returned to Arizona through a pedestrian crossing in 2014 from a brief trip to Nogales, Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ashley Cervantes initially discussed her allegations with media outlets, but she and her attorney recently declined to comment as litigation in federal court came to a close.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cervantes’ suit and her testimony at a deposition allege that officers had dogs sniff at her, handcuffed her to a chair and subjected her to “invasive pat-downs” before taking her to a hospital where she agreed to an X-ray to “get out of there.” Instead, after she donned a hospital gown, a doctor removed a tampon from her and “forcefully and digitally probed Ashley’s vagina and anus.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was “shocked and humiliated,” her suit asserts. Her family was billed for the procedures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this case, Justice Department attorneys argued in a filing that the CBP handbook isn’t the final word on searches: “This handbook does not limit the search authority of CBP officers” and is “merely for internal guidance,” attorneys wrote, quoting from a \u003ca href=\"http://www.aila.org/infonet/cbp-personal-search-handbook\">2004 version\u003c/a> of the handbook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another defense filing contends that Cervantes “was afforded all constitutional rights and protections to which she was entitled.” In an affidavit, the doctor who performed the pelvic exam on Cervantes asserts that Cervantes permitted the exam. Defendant Holy Cross Hospital “denies it is vicariously liable for the CBP agents or the United States.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On July 20, a federal judge dismissed the claims against all medical defendants, finding that they couldn’t be held liable under a federal tort claims lawsuit and that other legal options, such as a medical malpractice suit, had been available under Arizona law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Up north, in Michigan\u003cstrong>,\u003c/strong> a Canadian woman settled a lawsuit in 2016 for $25,000 after alleging that \u003ca href=\"http://www.wnem.com/story/31767498/us-pays-25000-to-settle-lawsuit-over-body-search-at-border\">CBP officers\u003c/a> at a tunnel checkpoint had searched her so roughly that a tampon she was using was dislodged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And at Kennedy Airport in New York, CBP officers intercepted two women returning from a short trip to Grenada in 2014 who later sued and settled for $8,500 last March. After being allegedly threatened with handcuffing and jailing, one woman, 40, a legal Guyanese immigrant, was allegedly forced remove her underwear, hand over a sanitary pad and squat, as menstrual blood flowed from her exposed genitals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officers linked the woman to an address used by drug traffickers who’d been arrested, according to court filings. But the women said one officer also made “racially motivated remarks that it was officers’ right to search them because black people “are the ones trafficking illegal drugs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lovell’s suit also accuses CBP at Kennedy of racial profiling. These sorts of allegation aren’t new. A 1997 lawsuit on behalf of 87 black women also alleged \u003ca href=\"http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2006-02-05/news/0602050279_1_searches-customs-agents-reasonable-suspicion\">racial profiling\u003c/a> by Customs officers and illegal strip searches and pat downs at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. The suit was settled in 2006 with a $1.9 million payment by the U.S. Treasury Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2000, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.gao.gov/products/GGD-00-38\">U.S. Government Accountability Office\u003c/a> found that two years earlier, black female U.S. citizens were nine times more likely than white counterparts to be X-rayed by customs officers after airport frisking, although they were less than half as likely to be found with contraband than white females also X-rayed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The racial profiling issue was absolutely constant,” said Gil Kerlikowske, a CPB commissioner during former President Barack Obama’s administration. Kerlikowske said he tried to improve a complaint system and began regular meetings with the ACLU and other rights groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Piñon of the ACLU said: “I worry that the cases we represent underestimate how often this [invasive searching] occurs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Underestimated\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Government records don’t address Piñon’s concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Treasury Department’s Judgment Fund records, where settlement dollars are listed, three lawsuits alleging unconstitutional searches were listed as “false arrest” claims and three were labeled “miscellaneous.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But records also show scores of “false arrest” or “miscellaneous” complaints filed directly with either CPB or Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE, that have been settled over the last decade. Such administrative settlements leave no publicly accessible court trail revealing exactly what was alleged. (ICE officers can work at borders but are primarily in charge of inland enforcement and detention of immigrants facing deportation.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawyers also say that the most vulnerable people who could be searched by CBP and ICE are immigrants, who usually are more worried about fighting possible deportation than filing administrative complaints or civil litigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Timothy Scott, the lawyer who represented the woman mistakenly detained in San Diego, said many immigrants are “from countries where there’s no profit in criticizing authorities. … There’s no doubt in my mind that this [invasive searching] is underreported.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May, the ACLU released documents obtained from the Department of Homeland Security, parent of CBP and ICE, through the Freedom of Information Act that include, among other claims, accusations of rough searches of unaccompanied migrant minors between 2009 and 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, CBP spokesman Daniel Hetlage called allegations in complaints the ACLU released “unfounded and baseless.” CBP said that the \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.dhs.gov/assets/pr/2014/Sig_Mem_Over_Unac_Alien_Child090214.pdf\">Office of the Inspector General\u003c/a> for the Department of Homeland Security, or DHS, made 57 unannounced visits to 41 immigrant holding facilities and found no evidence that the allegations were true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CBP declined to comment, however, when asked if two specific complaints alleging searches of minors were investigated. In one complaint, an undocumented Honduran minor alleged that CBP officers at San Diego’s Otay Mesa port “forcefully spread her legs apart and touched her private parts so hard that she screamed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Freedom for Immigrants, a volunteer group that aids detained immigrants, also obtained documents alleging rough treatment in ICE detention centers between 2010 and 2014, including guards allegedly ripping clothes off detainees if they refused to disrobe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response, ICE in a statement said it has “already initiated several steps to bolster the division's quality assurance process” and planned more detention inspections this fiscal year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In December 2017, a \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/assets/2017-12/OIG-18-32-Dec17.pdf\">DHS inspector general\u003c/a> report found that ICE detainees held under contract in a city jail in Santa Ana, California, were strip searched unjustifiably.

The officer squeezed Lovell’s breasts “hard,” and allegedly “placed her right hand into her [Lovell’s] pants ‘forcibly’ inserting four gloved fingers into plaintiff’s vagina” before parting Lovell’s buttocks with her hand “for viewing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lovell was left “violated, shocked and afraid,” according to her suit, which accuses CBP officers of violating not only her constitutional rights, but the agency’s own \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/2017-Sep/CBP%20TEDS%20Policy%20Oct2015.pdf\">handbook\u003c/a> as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An August 1 Justice Department filing sought to dismiss CBP and individual officers, but not the U.S government, as defendants. Nevertheless, Lovell’s lawsuit — and 10 others since 2011 reviewed by the Center for Public Integrity — raise timely and unsettling questions about how far border and other immigration officers can go with their considerable power to detain people at the nation’s 328 ports of entry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The existing rules can be shocking for travelers. \u003ca href=\"https://fas.org/sgp/crs/homesec/RL31826.pdf\">Legal precedents\u003c/a> grant federal officers at ports of entry the power, without warrants, to require people to strip for a “visual inspection” of genitals and rectums, and to submit to a “monitored bowel movement” to check for secreted drugs. At the same time, a \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/2017-Sep/CBP%20TEDS%20Policy%20Oct2015.pdf\">CBP detention-and-search handbook\u003c/a> instructs officers to record a solid justification for every single step beyond a frisk, and to respect detainees’ dignity and “freedom from unreasonable searches” and to “consider the totality of the circumstances … when making a decision to search.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The handbook also warns officers against engaging in what could be considered either a “visual or physical intrusion” into vaginal or anal cavities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet in these suits, innocent women — including minor girls — who were not found with any contraband say CBP officers subjected them to harsh interrogation that led to indignities that included unreasonable strip searches while menstruating to prohibited genital probing. Some women were also handcuffed and transported to hospitals where, against their will, they underwent pelvic exams, X-rays and in one case, drugging via IV, according to suits. Invasive medical procedures require a detainee’s consent or a warrant. In two cases, women were billed for procedures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suits underscore mounting criticism that accountability for officer conduct is too weak — at a time when President Donald Trump is beefing up the ranks of CBP officers and urging ever-tougher crackdowns at the border and other ports of entry. Settlements show that the government has opted to close some cases before trials that could require CBP court testimony; six of these suits have resulted in settlements that cost taxpayers more than $1.2 million in payments to plaintiffs by the U.S. Treasury Department.

Female officers took C.R. aside, the suit asserted, and allegedly told the tearful girl to disrobe, hand over a sanitary pad—and squat and cough “while officers probed and shined a flashlight at her vaginal and anal areas.” Justice Department attorneys representing officers have filed to dismiss C.R.’s suit, arguing that it was not filed properly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But C.R.’s alleged experience isn’t isolated: It is one of three alleged San Diego border strip searches of Hispanic minors and one 42-year-old Hispanic woman reported just since last September to the San Diego office of the American Friends Service Committee, a rights group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And C.R.’s lawsuit isn’t the first of its kind filed in San Diego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unbeknownst to the public, almost two years before C.R.’s search, records reviewed by the Center show that in 2015 the U.S. government quietly settled a different lawsuit for $500,000 with a woman also subjected to a prolonged ordeal at the San Ysidro port — an ordeal that allegedly involved vaginal probing, twice, by a CBP officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11688727\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/RS5955_166174595-800x457.jpg\" alt=\"A US Border Patrol agent stands near a crossing to Mexico at the San Ysidro port of entry along the US-Mexico border near San Diego, California on April 4, 2013.\" width=\"800\" height=\"457\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11688727\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/RS5955_166174595-800x457.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/RS5955_166174595-160x91.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/RS5955_166174595-1020x582.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/RS5955_166174595-1200x685.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/RS5955_166174595.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/RS5955_166174595-1180x674.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/RS5955_166174595-960x548.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/RS5955_166174595-240x137.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/RS5955_166174595-375x214.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/RS5955_166174595-520x297.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A US Border Patrol agent stands near a crossing to Mexico at the San Ysidro port of entry along the US-Mexico border near San Diego, California on April 4, 2013. \u003ccite>(FREDERIC J.

In a statement, the agency said: \"We take allegations of misconduct seriously and there is no room in CBP for the mistreatment or misconduct of any kind toward those in our custody…. We fully cooperate with any criminal administrative investigation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CBP also said it has \"policies, procedures and training in place to ensure officers and agents treat travelers and those in custody with professionalism and courtesy, while protecting the civil rights, civil liberties, and well-being of every individual with whom we interact.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CBP declined to discuss, however, whether accused officers named in settled or pending suits have been investigated, absolved, disciplined, retrained, fired or moved to other jobs. The agency referred questions to the U.S. Justice Department, whose officials also declined comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Department generally has a policy not to discuss cases past or otherwise, as it could sometimes have implications on future matters,” media coordinator Devin O’Malley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CBP said its officers \"encounter persons attempting to smuggle narcotics into the United States internally, a very dangerous smuggling method that comes with the risk of great personal harm.\" But the agency would not discuss at what rates officers discover drugs secreted in travelers’ bodies. At a May 30 congressional hearing on borders and opioids in Tucson, Arizona, acting CBP field director Guadalupe Ramirez testified that officers “regularly find drugs concealed in body cavities,” as well as taped to bodies and hidden in vehicles and hygiene products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In New York, Lovell’s lawsuit says CBP officers’ search at JFK “shocked the conscience,” and caused her to seek immediate medical care at a hospital, as well as rape counseling. When the search ended, Lovell said, the CBP supervisor told her to expect other searches since she often travels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“'We’re the federal government and we have the right to search you the way we think we need to',” Lovell recalls him saying. “I’ll never forget that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May 2017, Lovell followed a standard procedure by filing a “federal tort claim” directly with CBP. The claim was denied in March 2018 and she filed suit against the United States, CBP and officers referred to as “John Doe” or by last names and badge numbers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lovell’s suit and the others reviewed by the Center level a range of accusations at officers, including violations of due process and the Fourth Amendment’s protection against illegal searches, as well as battery, sexual assault, false arrest, abuses “under color of law” and discrimination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11688733\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/pic3-800x205.jpg\" alt=\"An Arizona teen CBP detained as she returned from Mexico says she didn’t authorize a hospital to perform a pelvic exam that found no hidden drugs.\" width=\"800\" height=\"205\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11688733\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/pic3-800x205.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/pic3-160x41.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/pic3-240x62.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/pic3-375x96.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/pic3-520x133.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/pic3.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An Arizona teen CBP detained as she returned from Mexico says she didn’t authorize a hospital to perform a pelvic exam that found no hidden drugs.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Lawyers for the women say that the relatively modest number of suits shouldn’t be considered a measure of how frequently detained people are invasively searched.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Instances like these are traumatic and people feel sexually assaulted. Filing a lawsuit requires detailing a significantly painful incident in a public forum,” said Adriana Piñon, staff attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union in Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since September, AFSC U.S.-Mexico Border Program director Pedro Rios said, he’s helped file two complaints alleging invasive searches on the San Diego border directly with the CBP Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties. The family of a male autistic teen traumatized by a strip search, Rios said, decided against a complaint out of fear of retaliation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CBP officers, the CBP handbook says, should “weigh all factors” before an officer, who should ordinarily be of the same gender, searches a juvenile. Officers are told to seek parental consent for a strip search and refrain from touching or a “visual” search of a minor’s body cavities. If a parent refuses consent, officers should seek advice from CBP counsel. In addition to compensatory and punitive damages, C.R.’s suit in San Diego seeks an injunction blocking CBP defendants “from engaging in invasive law enforcement searches.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The handbook also instructs officers to perform duties “in a non-discriminatory manner.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A person’s ethnicity isn’t grounds for a search. But officers do consider factors such as travel to certain countries, unusual travel patterns and behavior that seems evasive or otherwise suspicious, according to lawyers who’ve represented travelers in suits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Canine contraband alerts are also a factor — but it’s not uncommon for alerts to be false, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/sites/default/files/field_document/2017-05-18_aclu_statement_house_homeland_security_hearing_critical_canine_contributions_to_the_dhs_mission.pdf\">American Civil Liberties Union\u003c/a> has argued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officers’ ability to initiate warrantless searches on “reasonable suspicion,” a lower threshold than “probable cause,” is grounded in arguments that ports merit greater scrutiny, as well as a 1985 Supreme Court ruling. In that case, \u003ca href=\"https://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-supreme-court/473/531.html\">\u003cem>United States vs. Montoya\u003c/em>,\u003c/a> the court found that a rectal exam revealing cocaine-filled balloons didn’t violate a woman’s Fourth Amendment rights because officers considered various factors and had “reasonable” concerns that she’d concealed drugs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Settled civil suits accusing officers of failing to wisely act on suspicions don’t establish guilt or criminal liability. But documents do reveal how searches escalated, and how attorneys attempted to defend CBP before settling.

Several hours later, the woman was handcuffed and driven 10 miles away to the San Ysidro port of entry along with other female and male detainees. There, the suit alleges, the woman and three other detainees were told to told to line up and spread their feet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Plaintiff could observe the female CBP officer placing a gloved hand down each of the three women’s pants as part of this search,” the suit alleges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This officer squeezed my breasts hard and went into my underwear and in my vagina with her finger. She did this with the same glove that she did three other women before me!!” the woman later wrote later in an email to a CBP official, according to the suit. “I was mortified!!!! I never felt so violated!!!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Plaintiff was visibly upset, crying and professing her innocence during and after the search,” the suit alleges. The officers allegedly “mocked” her, calling her a “basket case.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After 20 minutes the same female officer allegedly repeated a vaginal search.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I questioned why she was doing it again she told me ‘Because I am’ and the male officer behind her said, ‘What, do you work here?’ Even if I was a criminal NO ONE should be treated in this manner,” the woman wrote to CBP, which allegedly did not respond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around 10 p.m., an officer allegedly suggested “this is all wrong” and that he’d investigate. The suit alleges that the officer spoke with Contra Costa law enforcement about the warrant’s discrepancies and was told to hold the woman for later transport to that county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At about 1:40 a.m., the woman was handcuffed and driven to the Las Colinas Detention Facility, a San Diego County jail for women. She wasn’t released until she posted a $10,000 bond the next day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People with tremendous power are not always using it in a discerning fashion,” said San Diego attorney Timothy Scott, the woman’s lawyer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He accused officers of acting with “indifference, and compounding error with arrogance.” Scott said his client didn’t seek to air her grievances in media because she was so upset, and still doesn’t want to be identified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. government and CBP didn’t file responses to the suit, and within two months settled for the $500,000, according to Treasury Department records. Contra Costa County settled with her for an additional $450,000, according to a document obtained from that county.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>In Philadelphia\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>An African-American woman, 36, flew into the Philadelphia International Airport from a one-day trip to Punta Cana, the Dominican Republic, on Dec.4, 2012 — and a 24-hour ordeal ensued in a fruitless search for hidden drugs, her 2015 lawsuit says.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch4 style=\"text-align: center\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.publicintegrity.org/2018/08/19/21887/invasive-searches-woman-s-24-hour-ordeal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Invasive Searches: A Woman’s 24-hour Ordeal\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.publicintegrity.org/2018/08/19/21887/invasive-searches-woman-s-24-hour-ordeal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/RS5955_166174595.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The woman’s complaint against CBP defendants was quietly settled in 2017 for $189,500 paid by the U.S. Treasury Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After her arrival, CBP officers intercepted the woman at customs and took her to a screening room to search her belongings and allegedly interrogate her about suspicions that her short trip might indicate drug smuggling. The woman allegedly explained that she travels often on airline employee discounts available to family members. “At no time did the CBP defendants contact the airline” to confirm her relative’s job or make other attempts to verify her story, her suit asserts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officers then tried to “shame” the detained woman into a false confession, the suit says, by asking if she was religious or had children. Her suit says that she was told she’d be released after a pat down. But after seven hours — and attempts to get her to consent to an X-ray — the woman was allegedly handcuffed, shackled and “dragged” from the airport and taken to a local hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officers “provided false and misleading information” to staff suggesting that she was “packing” drugs, the woman’s suit further alleges, and that she’d have to remain in a room “until she had urinated and defecated into a plastic container in the presence of an officer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a staff shift change, the suit alleges, a nurse announced that the woman’s heart rate was elevated, and doctors “involuntarily” admitted her to care due to “possible drug toxicity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the suit, the woman was tied to a bed with restraints, stripped naked by medical staff and had a tampon removed from her vagina during a body search. In court filings, the hospital doesn’t deny conducting the exam, administering sedatives using an IV, catheterizing the woman to collect urine and putting her through X-rays and abdominal and pelvic CT scans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The agents had no basis for their suspicion” of the plaintiff, her suit says. “Medical personnel confirmed what [the plaintiff] had told CBP agents from the moment she encountered them: that she had no contraband on her person.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justice Department attorneys, however, argue in a filing that the “federal defendants deny that CBP officers had no basis for their suspicions,” and that the Dominican Republic is “a known illegal drug source country.” CBP officers, the response alleges, asked the woman to “consent to an X-ray that would expeditiously determine” if drugs were inside her and “explored whether to seek a warrant” but did not because she was involuntarily admitted to the hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Plaintiff was afforded all constitutional rights and protections to which she was entitled at all material times to the incidents alleged,\" the response also argues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After she woke from a sedated state, the woman’s suit asserts, she was driven back to the airport and suffered an accident driving her own car to her destination. The woman’s lawyer said that his client asked not to be identified and that he refrain from commenting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital in Darby, Pennsylvania, where procedures were conducted, said in a statement: “While we cannot provide details about any specific patient's health or treatment, we strive to honor the sacredness and dignity of every person.” Documents show the hospital system agreed to close the case in what the woman’s attorney said is an undisclosed settlement.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>In Texas\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>A Hispanic U.S. citizen\u003cstrong>,\u003c/strong> 52-year-old “Jane Doe,” was returning from visiting a deported family friend in Mexico in December 2012 when CBP took her aside at about 2 p.m. at El Paso’s Cordova Bridge pedestrian port of entry for a “random” check, according to her lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit, which was filed and publicly disclosed by the ACLU, was settled in 2016 with a $450,000 payment by the U.S. Treasury Department and a total of another $1.1 million from El Paso’s University Medical Center and other medical defendants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During an initial frisk, Doe’s suit alleges, a CBP officer allegedly inserted a finger into the crevice of Doe’s buttocks. Then a CBP canine handler tapped his foot in front of Doe and his dog lunged, after which Doe, inside a room, was made to lower her pants and squat, while an officer allegedly looked at her anus with a flashlight. Another officer allegedly “pressed her fingers into Ms. Doe’s vagina and visually examined her genitalia with a flashlight. … Ms. Doe was understandably humiliated and she began crying.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around 4 p.m., a handcuffed Doe was taken to the medical center, where she was allegedly ordered to take a laxative and execute a bowel moment in the presence of CBP officers. She was then subjected to an X-ray, without a warrant or her consent, and handcuffed to an exam table and given a vaginal and anal exam followed by an abdominal CT scan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ms. Doe felt that she was being treated less than human, like an animal,” her suit asserts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jane Doe refused to sign a consent form that a CBP officer allegedly said would allow CBP to cover procedure costs. She was billed more than $5,000, according to her suit, which claims that CBP had a “pattern and practice” of using the hospital to carry out searches on suspected carriers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think this should give everyone pause, in terms of what the government is doing,” said Piñon of the ACLU, which represented Doe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The touchstone of the Fourth Amendment is reasonableness,” Piñon said, which means officers can’t keep invasively searching “on a whim.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In initial court filings, CBP officers either denied abuse or asserted “qualified immunity,” a defense for government officials if their actions don’t violate “clearly established” rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, though, the government settled. The University Medical Center also settled, issuing a statement that the agreement was “meant to bring closure for the plaintiff” and ensure that “we have taken steps to tighten our policies.” The settlement included a CBP commitment to provide one hour of extra training to officers in the El Paso region. The ACLU also wrote letters to hospitals along the border warning them of liability if they engage in unconstitutional searches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11688752\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/GettyImages-162774159-e1535152151275.jpg\" alt=\"A U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer from the Office of Field Operations (OFO) watches as people arrive to cross from Mexico into the United States on February 26, 2013 in Nogales, Arizona.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1296\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11688752\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer from the Office of Field Operations (OFO) watches as people arrive to cross from Mexico into the United States on February 26, 2013 in Nogales, Arizona. \u003ccite>(John Moore/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>In Arizona\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>An 18-year-old Hispanic U.S. citizen closed a lawsuit against CBP last October — terms haven’t been revealed — that accuses CBP of violating her rights after she returned to Arizona through a pedestrian crossing in 2014 from a brief trip to Nogales, Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ashley Cervantes initially discussed her allegations with media outlets, but she and her attorney recently declined to comment as litigation in federal court came to a close.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cervantes’ suit and her testimony at a deposition allege that officers had dogs sniff at her, handcuffed her to a chair and subjected her to “invasive pat-downs” before taking her to a hospital where she agreed to an X-ray to “get out of there.” Instead, after she donned a hospital gown, a doctor removed a tampon from her and “forcefully and digitally probed Ashley’s vagina and anus.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was “shocked and humiliated,” her suit asserts. Her family was billed for the procedures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this case, Justice Department attorneys argued in a filing that the CBP handbook isn’t the final word on searches: “This handbook does not limit the search authority of CBP officers” and is “merely for internal guidance,” attorneys wrote, quoting from a \u003ca href=\"http://www.aila.org/infonet/cbp-personal-search-handbook\">2004 version\u003c/a> of the handbook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another defense filing contends that Cervantes “was afforded all constitutional rights and protections to which she was entitled.” In an affidavit, the doctor who performed the pelvic exam on Cervantes asserts that Cervantes permitted the exam. Defendant Holy Cross Hospital “denies it is vicariously liable for the CBP agents or the United States.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On July 20, a federal judge dismissed the claims against all medical defendants, finding that they couldn’t be held liable under a federal tort claims lawsuit and that other legal options, such as a medical malpractice suit, had been available under Arizona law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Up north, in Michigan\u003cstrong>,\u003c/strong> a Canadian woman settled a lawsuit in 2016 for $25,000 after alleging that \u003ca href=\"http://www.wnem.com/story/31767498/us-pays-25000-to-settle-lawsuit-over-body-search-at-border\">CBP officers\u003c/a> at a tunnel checkpoint had searched her so roughly that a tampon she was using was dislodged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And at Kennedy Airport in New York, CBP officers intercepted two women returning from a short trip to Grenada in 2014 who later sued and settled for $8,500 last March. After being allegedly threatened with handcuffing and jailing, one woman, 40, a legal Guyanese immigrant, was allegedly forced remove her underwear, hand over a sanitary pad and squat, as menstrual blood flowed from her exposed genitals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officers linked the woman to an address used by drug traffickers who’d been arrested, according to court filings. But the women said one officer also made “racially motivated remarks that it was officers’ right to search them because black people “are the ones trafficking illegal drugs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lovell’s suit also accuses CBP at Kennedy of racial profiling. These sorts of allegation aren’t new. A 1997 lawsuit on behalf of 87 black women also alleged \u003ca href=\"http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2006-02-05/news/0602050279_1_searches-customs-agents-reasonable-suspicion\">racial profiling\u003c/a> by Customs officers and illegal strip searches and pat downs at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. The suit was settled in 2006 with a $1.9 million payment by the U.S. Treasury Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2000, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.gao.gov/products/GGD-00-38\">U.S. Government Accountability Office\u003c/a> found that two years earlier, black female U.S. citizens were nine times more likely than white counterparts to be X-rayed by customs officers after airport frisking, although they were less than half as likely to be found with contraband than white females also X-rayed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The racial profiling issue was absolutely constant,” said Gil Kerlikowske, a CPB commissioner during former President Barack Obama’s administration. Kerlikowske said he tried to improve a complaint system and began regular meetings with the ACLU and other rights groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Piñon of the ACLU said: “I worry that the cases we represent underestimate how often this [invasive searching] occurs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Underestimated\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Government records don’t address Piñon’s concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Treasury Department’s Judgment Fund records, where settlement dollars are listed, three lawsuits alleging unconstitutional searches were listed as “false arrest” claims and three were labeled “miscellaneous.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But records also show scores of “false arrest” or “miscellaneous” complaints filed directly with either CPB or Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE, that have been settled over the last decade. Such administrative settlements leave no publicly accessible court trail revealing exactly what was alleged. (ICE officers can work at borders but are primarily in charge of inland enforcement and detention of immigrants facing deportation.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawyers also say that the most vulnerable people who could be searched by CBP and ICE are immigrants, who usually are more worried about fighting possible deportation than filing administrative complaints or civil litigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Timothy Scott, the lawyer who represented the woman mistakenly detained in San Diego, said many immigrants are “from countries where there’s no profit in criticizing authorities. … There’s no doubt in my mind that this [invasive searching] is underreported.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May, the ACLU released documents obtained from the Department of Homeland Security, parent of CBP and ICE, through the Freedom of Information Act that include, among other claims, accusations of rough searches of unaccompanied migrant minors between 2009 and 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, CBP spokesman Daniel Hetlage called allegations in complaints the ACLU released “unfounded and baseless.” CBP said that the \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.dhs.gov/assets/pr/2014/Sig_Mem_Over_Unac_Alien_Child090214.pdf\">Office of the Inspector General\u003c/a> for the Department of Homeland Security, or DHS, made 57 unannounced visits to 41 immigrant holding facilities and found no evidence that the allegations were true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CBP declined to comment, however, when asked if two specific complaints alleging searches of minors were investigated. In one complaint, an undocumented Honduran minor alleged that CBP officers at San Diego’s Otay Mesa port “forcefully spread her legs apart and touched her private parts so hard that she screamed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Freedom for Immigrants, a volunteer group that aids detained immigrants, also obtained documents alleging rough treatment in ICE detention centers between 2010 and 2014, including guards allegedly ripping clothes off detainees if they refused to disrobe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response, ICE in a statement said it has “already initiated several steps to bolster the division's quality assurance process” and planned more detention inspections this fiscal year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In December 2017, a \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/assets/2017-12/OIG-18-32-Dec17.pdf\">DHS inspector general\u003c/a> report found that ICE detainees held under contract in a city jail in Santa Ana, California, were strip searched unjustifiably. Freedom for Immigrants, then known as \u003ca href=\"http://www.endisolation.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/CIVIC_Complaint_SACJ.pdf\">CIVIC\u003c/a>, wrote in 2015 to DHS alleging that detainees were routinely ordered to show genitals and rectums after meeting with lawyers at the jail and after immigration court hearings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in New York, U.S. citizen Tameika Lovell is just beginning the legal journey challenging her alleged body cavity search in November 2016 at Kennedy Airport.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because of “shame,” she said, she understands why people hesitate to publicly air grievances about getting searched: “Even though you are the victim,” she said, “there’s always that shadow of a doubt that people have about you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“From the squeezing of my breasts, to the fingers in my private parts to the insulting questions about my travel,” Lovell said, “I was a black female traveling alone and I feel I was singled out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She called the CBP officers who searched her “mean,” and although her detention and search might have lasted only 10 to 20 minutes, “it felt like forever.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was so shaken, she said, she wasn’t sure whether she could assert her rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I didn’t know if what they were doing,” she said, “was legal or not.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

To cope, in July the federal district court in San Diego agreed to a Justice Department request to designate a separate courtroom where judges could arraign and sentence the migrants in a single day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These speedy mass hearings, better known as Operation Streamline, were adopted in other southern border states starting in 2005.

It’s a way to put into the court record their belief that the expedited hearings violate their clients’ rights. At lunch, they strategized about how to do that without running afoul of the judge’s rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ultimately, I think we have to obey the protocol or be held in contempt,” Davis said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lunch also served as a time to blow off steam.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davis pushed a bag of M&M cookies out of reach, exclaiming, “Get those away from me!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do a lot of eating our feelings,” Morgan said, laughing.

Every afternoon from 2 p.m., the presiding judge hears only one kind of case: misdemeanor charges against migrants for illegal entry into the United States. Defense attorneys call it the “1325” court, for the section of the federal \u003ca href=\"https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1325\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statute\u003c/a> that sets out charges and fines for the crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A group of magistrate judges rotates through 2A. On the day KQED observed, Judge Barbara Major presided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Each of you are here because the United States has charged you with the misdemeanor crime of improper entry by an alien,” Major told a group of defendants sitting in a jury box, shackled at the ankles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the course of the next three hours, Major arraigned, sentenced and set bond for about a dozen people at a time. The Federal Defenders raised objection after objection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one point, Sandoval objected to a new rule judges have implemented that limits motions by defense attorneys.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I understand the court’s orders that we’re not allowed to raise motions,” Sandoval said. “And if we would like to …”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You are allowed to,” Major responded. “You just have to do it in writing. And it can’t be today. I’m not going to get through my criminal calendar as it is.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the new system, federal marshals bring migrants to the court directly from Border Patrol stations, where many detainees say they do not get enough food or sleep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sandoval questioned whether the conditions of her client’s confinement could be a form of coercion, pushing him to plead guilty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To which Major, clearly exasperated, said, “Stop! Which one? Does he want to plead guilty today?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He does,” Sandoval said. “But I just haven’t had …”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“OK,” Major interrupted. “Then we’re good.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Major decided to hold Sandoval’s two cases over another day. She said she could not accept a plea unless it was made willingly and knowingly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around 5 p.m., Judge Major announced that the court had run out of time and she would carry over the cases of roughly a dozen defendants. These clients would spend another night in jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6:30 p.m.: Regroup at the Federal Defenders Office\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morgan, Davis and Sandoval retrieved their belongings and headed for home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davis left to help his wife, who was taking care of their newborn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morgan needed to get home to her 11-month-old twins, but she and Sandoval stayed a few minutes longer to discuss what had happened in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new court procedures put defense attorneys and judges at cross-purposes, Sandoval said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a tension: We want to make sure that we are asserting our client’s rights during their initial appearance,” she said. But the court’s interest “is to make sure that these clients are processed as quickly as possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sandoval said that friction was evident in the courtroom where Judge Major had “50-plus matters on calendar and not enough time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morgan echoed that concern.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This separate court is just about processing a number of cases as quickly as possible,” she said. “The only way that happens is when people are complicit in giving up the rights that their clients have.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morgan said Federal Defenders plans to keep pushing back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our plan honestly is to keep it up until either we’re all held in contempt, or we’re shackled ourselves, or until this stops,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why Adopt Operation Streamline Now?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear why \u003ca href=\"https://www.casd.uscourts.gov/SitePages/Judges.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Barry Moskowitz\u003c/a>, the chief judge of the federal court in San Diego, agreed to the expedited hearings. Moskowitz declined to answer questions about the changes at the court and did not issue a public order when they took effect in July.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year, Moskowitz convened a \u003ca href=\"https://www.casd.uscourts.gov/Rules/GeneralOrders/Lists/General%20Orders/Attachments/205/General%20Order%20671%20Criminal%20Case%20Management%20Committee.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">committee\u003c/a> of judges and attorneys to discuss how to handle the increased caseload under the Trump administration’s zero tolerance policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The U.S. Attorney has advised the Court that he intends to substantially increase the prosecution of illegal entry cases, including at least 100 misdemeanor cases a week,” Moskowitz wrote in a court order. “The increase has and will cause strains, issues and problems.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Federal Defenders office won some concessions, such as setting a maximum caseload of four clients for each of its attorneys. Federal prosecutors also agreed that if they could not provide clients’ records to defense attorneys by a daily deadline, they would drop the charges. An unknown number of cases have been dismissed since Operation Streamline took effect in San Diego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Prosecutions of Other Federal Crimes\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics believe the administration’s policy of prosecuting all illegal border-crossers is a misuse of resources that has resulted in a drop in prosecutions for more serious drug and trafficking crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A recent \u003ca href=\"http://trac.syr.edu/immigration/reports/524/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report\u003c/a> by \u003ca href=\"http://trac.syr.edu/immigration/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse\u003c/a>, a data research organization at Syracuse University, found that in border region courts the number of prosecutions of non-immigration related crimes dropped from a total of 1,093 in March 2018 to 703 prosecutions in June 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Unless crimes are suddenly less prevalent in the districts along the southwest border, the odds of being prosecuted for many federal offenses have declined,” the report found. “The declining number of prosecutions has already begun to show up in the Southern District of California, in New Mexico, and in the Southern District of Texas.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of California disputed the TRAC findings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an Aug. 10 email, Kelly Thornton wrote, “Our overall prosecutions of non-immigration matters are on track to exceed last year’s.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Then they would most likely be transferred to the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s mostly folks with minimal or little criminal record, minimal or zero deportation history either,” Davis said. “They’re people who just a few months ago would have been processed for deportation and told, ‘You know, you can’t be in the country.’ But now they’re trying to give them criminal convictions that can affect the rest their lives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davis doubted whether his clients understood that they were being criminally prosecuted or that a guilty plea could prevent them from ever returning to the U.S. legally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>12:45 p.m.: Lunch at ‘The Sandbox’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The attorneys have roughly an hour each day to eat lunch, which they usually do together at a table in a dusty yard between the courthouses they affectionately call “The Sandbox.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawyers have developed a practice of raising objections to the judge at every possible opportunity. It’s a way to put into the court record their belief that the expedited hearings violate their clients’ rights. At lunch, they strategized about how to do that without running afoul of the judge’s rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ultimately, I think we have to obey the protocol or be held in contempt,” Davis said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lunch also served as a time to blow off steam.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davis pushed a bag of M&M cookies out of reach, exclaiming, “Get those away from me!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do a lot of eating our feelings,” Morgan said, laughing. She and her colleagues say they find Operation Streamline discouraging and unjust.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After an hour, the defenders swept up their lunch trash and headed to court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11688394\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11688394\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/ICEBus-800x512.jpg\" alt=\"Migrants facing criminal charges for entering the U.S. illegally are bused to the Metropolitan Correctional Center in downtown San Diego.\" width=\"800\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/ICEBus-800x512.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/ICEBus-160x102.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/ICEBus-1020x652.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/ICEBus-1200x768.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/ICEBus.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/ICEBus-1180x755.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/ICEBus-960x614.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/ICEBus-240x154.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/ICEBus-375x240.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/ICEBus-520x333.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Migrants facing criminal charges for entering the U.S. illegally are bused to the Metropolitan Correctional Center in downtown San Diego. \u003ccite>(Julie Small/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2 p.m.: The ‘1325’ Court\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Courtroom 2A is on the second floor of a squat cement building with tinted windows and bare of decor. Every afternoon from 2 p.m., the presiding judge hears only one kind of case: misdemeanor charges against migrants for illegal entry into the United States. Defense attorneys call it the “1325” court, for the section of the federal \u003ca href=\"https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1325\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statute\u003c/a> that sets out charges and fines for the crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A group of magistrate judges rotates through 2A. On the day KQED observed, Judge Barbara Major presided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Each of you are here because the United States has charged you with the misdemeanor crime of improper entry by an alien,” Major told a group of defendants sitting in a jury box, shackled at the ankles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the course of the next three hours, Major arraigned, sentenced and set bond for about a dozen people at a time. The Federal Defenders raised objection after objection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one point, Sandoval objected to a new rule judges have implemented that limits motions by defense attorneys.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I understand the court’s orders that we’re not allowed to raise motions,” Sandoval said. “And if we would like to …”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You are allowed to,” Major responded. “You just have to do it in writing. And it can’t be today. I’m not going to get through my criminal calendar as it is.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the new system, federal marshals bring migrants to the court directly from Border Patrol stations, where many detainees say they do not get enough food or sleep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sandoval questioned whether the conditions of her client’s confinement could be a form of coercion, pushing him to plead guilty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To which Major, clearly exasperated, said, “Stop! Which one? Does he want to plead guilty today?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He does,” Sandoval said. “But I just haven’t had …”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“OK,” Major interrupted. “Then we’re good.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Major decided to hold Sandoval’s two cases over another day. She said she could not accept a plea unless it was made willingly and knowingly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around 5 p.m., Judge Major announced that the court had run out of time and she would carry over the cases of roughly a dozen defendants. These clients would spend another night in jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6:30 p.m.: Regroup at the Federal Defenders Office\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morgan, Davis and Sandoval retrieved their belongings and headed for home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davis left to help his wife, who was taking care of their newborn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morgan needed to get home to her 11-month-old twins, but she and Sandoval stayed a few minutes longer to discuss what had happened in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new court procedures put defense attorneys and judges at cross-purposes, Sandoval said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a tension: We want to make sure that we are asserting our client’s rights during their initial appearance,” she said. But the court’s interest “is to make sure that these clients are processed as quickly as possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sandoval said that friction was evident in the courtroom where Judge Major had “50-plus matters on calendar and not enough time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morgan echoed that concern.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This separate court is just about processing a number of cases as quickly as possible,” she said. “The only way that happens is when people are complicit in giving up the rights that their clients have.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morgan said Federal Defenders plans to keep pushing back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our plan honestly is to keep it up until either we’re all held in contempt, or we’re shackled ourselves, or until this stops,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why Adopt Operation Streamline Now?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear why \u003ca href=\"https://www.casd.uscourts.gov/SitePages/Judges.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Barry Moskowitz\u003c/a>, the chief judge of the federal court in San Diego, agreed to the expedited hearings. Moskowitz declined to answer questions about the changes at the court and did not issue a public order when they took effect in July.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year, Moskowitz convened a \u003ca href=\"https://www.casd.uscourts.gov/Rules/GeneralOrders/Lists/General%20Orders/Attachments/205/General%20Order%20671%20Criminal%20Case%20Management%20Committee.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">committee\u003c/a> of judges and attorneys to discuss how to handle the increased caseload under the Trump administration’s zero tolerance policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The U.S. Attorney has advised the Court that he intends to substantially increase the prosecution of illegal entry cases, including at least 100 misdemeanor cases a week,” Moskowitz wrote in a court order. “The increase has and will cause strains, issues and problems.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Federal Defenders office won some concessions, such as setting a maximum caseload of four clients for each of its attorneys. Federal prosecutors also agreed that if they could not provide clients’ records to defense attorneys by a daily deadline, they would drop the charges. An unknown number of cases have been dismissed since Operation Streamline took effect in San Diego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Prosecutions of Other Federal Crimes\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics believe the administration’s policy of prosecuting all illegal border-crossers is a misuse of resources that has resulted in a drop in prosecutions for more serious drug and trafficking crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A recent \u003ca href=\"http://trac.syr.edu/immigration/reports/524/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report\u003c/a> by \u003ca href=\"http://trac.syr.edu/immigration/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse\u003c/a>, a data research organization at Syracuse University, found that in border region courts the number of prosecutions of non-immigration related crimes dropped from a total of 1,093 in March 2018 to 703 prosecutions in June 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Unless crimes are suddenly less prevalent in the districts along the southwest border, the odds of being prosecuted for many federal offenses have declined,” the report found. “The declining number of prosecutions has already begun to show up in the Southern District of California, in New Mexico, and in the Southern District of Texas.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of California disputed the TRAC findings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>The Trump administration has lost another round in its efforts to get courts to dismiss lawsuits challenging \u003ca href=\"https://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html?id=4426784-Planned-Questions-2020-Acs#document/p11/a414610\">the citizenship question it added to the 2020 census\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg \u003ca href=\"https://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html?id=4776064-August-17-2018-Order-by-U-S-District-Judge\">issued an order\u003c/a> allowing two cases filed at San Francisco federal court to continue. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ruling sets up a legal fight that may extend into the final months of preparation for the national head count. It follows \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/07/26/629773825/multi-state-lawsuit-against-census-citizenship-question-to-move-ahead\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">an order last month by a judge in New York\u003c/a>, who rejected the Justice Department's efforts to get two similar lawsuits filed by the state of New York, plus more than two dozen other states, cities and other groups, tossed out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuits in San Francisco were filed by the state of California — the first to sue after the new citizenship question was announced in March — as well as the city and county of Los Angeles, a handful of other cities in California, and the Black Alliance for Just Immigration, a California-based immigrant-rights group led by Black Lives Matter co-founder Opal Tometi. Their attorneys, plus those for the Justice Department, are now gearing up for a potential trial that could start on Jan. 7, at the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The New York cases are moving toward a potential trial that could begin in late October. Attorneys for those cases are arguing that the decision to add a question about U.S. citizenship status by Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, who oversees the census, was a misuse of Ross' authority and motivated in part to discriminate against immigrant communities of color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seeborg's order opens up an additional front against the Commerce Department and Census Bureau, which are both named as defendants in all six lawsuits over the hotly contested question. In addition to their claims under the Administrative Procedure Act, the judge is allowing the California plaintiffs to argue that adding a question about U.S. citizenship status to census forms is unconstitutional because it may prevent the federal government from counting every person living in U.S. — regardless of citizenship status — as required by the Constitution once a decade. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his order, Seeborg wrote that the plaintiffs \"make a sufficient showing\" that the new citizenship question \"will undermine\" the accuracy of the head count and \"violate the Constitution's actual enumeration command.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Numbers from the U.S. census shape how power and federal dollars are distributed around the country. How many congressional seats and Electoral College votes each state gets, as well as the share of federal funding for schools, roads and other public institutions and services, are all tied to the population count.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Research by the Census Bureau suggests noncitizens may avoid taking part in the census if forms for the head count include a citizenship question. The lawsuits' plaintiffs argue that growing anti-immigrant sentiment and increased immigration enforcement under the Trump administration make citizenship status an especially sensitive topic to ask all U.S. households about for the census. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vylt-NTsT8I&feature=youtu.be&t=1h27m37s\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ross has testified in Congress\u003c/a> that the Justice Department \"initiated\" the request for a question about citizenship — a topic the Census Bureau has not asked all U.S. households since 1950 — in order to better enforce the Voting Rights Act's provisions against racial discrimination.

Their attorneys, plus those for the Justice Department, are now gearing up for a potential trial that could start on Jan. 7, at the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The New York cases are moving toward a potential trial that could begin in late October. Attorneys for those cases are arguing that the decision to add a question about U.S. citizenship status by Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, who oversees the census, was a misuse of Ross' authority and motivated in part to discriminate against immigrant communities of color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In addition to their claims under the Administrative Procedure Act, the judge is allowing the California plaintiffs to argue that adding a question about U.S. citizenship status to census forms is unconstitutional because it may prevent the federal government from counting every person living in U.S. — regardless of citizenship status — as required by the Constitution once a decade. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his order, Seeborg wrote that the plaintiffs \"make a sufficient showing\" that the new citizenship question \"will undermine\" the accuracy of the head count and \"violate the Constitution's actual enumeration command.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Numbers from the U.S. census shape how power and federal dollars are distributed around the country. How many congressional seats and Electoral College votes each state gets, as well as the share of federal funding for schools, roads and other public institutions and services, are all tied to the population count.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Research by the Census Bureau suggests noncitizens may avoid taking part in the census if forms for the head count include a citizenship question. The lawsuits' plaintiffs argue that growing anti-immigrant sentiment and increased immigration enforcement under the Trump administration make citizenship status an especially sensitive topic to ask all U.S. households about for the census. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vylt-NTsT8I&feature=youtu.be&t=1h27m37s\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ross has testified in Congress\u003c/a> that the Justice Department \"initiated\" the request for a question about citizenship — a topic the Census Bureau has not asked all U.S. households since 1950 — in order to better enforce the Voting Rights Act's provisions against racial discrimination.

[They] were chanting, ‘Let us kill them, let us kill them!’” he recalls. “When we locked ourselves in the house, people wanted to burn down the house. They destroyed almost everything.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The landlord begged protesters not to burn down the house, but to call the police instead. When the officers arrived, they arrested Sseguya and his partner and put them in a crowded jail cell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The police then told the other inmates that the two men were gay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Immediately after closing, chaos erupted in the cell,” Sseguya remembers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The inmates beat and threatened to kill both of them. When the officers came back a few minutes later, Sseguya was bleeding. This was the last time Sseguya saw his partner before they were separated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sseguya’s family never visited him in jail. “Most of them, they were happy that I [was] in jail, that’s why they didn’t come to see me,” he explains. “If you know somebody who is a gay and you don’t report, you are also taken as a criminal. Maybe that’s why they didn’t show up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After one month in jail, a colleague bailed him out. But Sseguya’s ordeal did not end there. He was required to report regularly to authorities. Additionally, he could not get his business license renewed because of his sexual orientation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eventually, life became so stressful for Sseguya that he decided to take a break and visit the U.S. It was there he learned that the Ugandan police issued a warrant for his arrest because he had failed to report to the authorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My friend… he’s the one who told me, ‘You know what? Don’t come back,’” he recalls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fearing for his life, Sseguya decided to seek political asylum in California. But four years after his arrival in Los Angeles, he is still wary of revealing too much to strangers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even here in California, a state almost two times the size of Uganda, he has not escaped homophobia in the immigrant community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People they always want to know: ‘Why? Why? Why?’” he says. “At the end of the day, it’s none of their business. It’s your business.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Persecution is not the only reason Sseguya is guarded. Not only did he lose his family, his partner, and his job, but here in Los Angeles, he is homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I got here, I had some money,” he describes. “Then, the person I was living with kicked me out because I had no money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This explains why our interviews took place inside his friend’s battered old minivan. It took him a while to admit it, but this is where he lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To survive, Sseguya wakes up at the break of dawn every day, collects scrap, and backs up the van to the recycling bins at a swap meet in Van Nuys. He manages to scrape together around $300 each month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the circumstances, he does not complain. Instead, he is grateful to be alive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wanted to live my life to the fullest, the way I wanted to be,” he said. “I chose what was best for me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Sseguya now sets his sights on becoming a defense attorney to fight for people’s rights, he has a long journey ahead. First, he has to secure his political asylum by proving what happened to him in Uganda. In the meantime, he has to survive financially and try to get off the streets, in the hopes that one day he will be able to live openly as a gay man.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every day, I have hope,” he said. “As long as I’m still alive, I have hope that one day I can make it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only then can he make his California dream a reality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was produced in collaboration with an advanced reporting class at the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism.

This was the last time Sseguya saw his partner before they were separated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sseguya’s family never visited him in jail. “Most of them, they were happy that I [was] in jail, that’s why they didn’t come to see me,” he explains. “If you know somebody who is a gay and you don’t report, you are also taken as a criminal. Maybe that’s why they didn’t show up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After one month in jail, a colleague bailed him out. But Sseguya’s ordeal did not end there. He was required to report regularly to authorities. Additionally, he could not get his business license renewed because of his sexual orientation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eventually, life became so stressful for Sseguya that he decided to take a break and visit the U.S. It was there he learned that the Ugandan police issued a warrant for his arrest because he had failed to report to the authorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My friend… he’s the one who told me, ‘You know what? Don’t come back,’” he recalls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fearing for his life, Sseguya decided to seek political asylum in California. But four years after his arrival in Los Angeles, he is still wary of revealing too much to strangers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even here in California, a state almost two times the size of Uganda, he has not escaped homophobia in the immigrant community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People they always want to know: ‘Why? Why? Why?’” he says. “At the end of the day, it’s none of their business. It’s your business.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Persecution is not the only reason Sseguya is guarded. Not only did he lose his family, his partner, and his job, but here in Los Angeles, he is homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I got here, I had some money,” he describes. “Then, the person I was living with kicked me out because I had no money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This explains why our interviews took place inside his friend’s battered old minivan. It took him a while to admit it, but this is where he lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To survive, Sseguya wakes up at the break of dawn every day, collects scrap, and backs up the van to the recycling bins at a swap meet in Van Nuys. He manages to scrape together around $300 each month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the circumstances, he does not complain. Instead, he is grateful to be alive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wanted to live my life to the fullest, the way I wanted to be,” he said. “I chose what was best for me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Sseguya now sets his sights on becoming a defense attorney to fight for people’s rights, he has a long journey ahead. First, he has to secure his political asylum by proving what happened to him in Uganda. In the meantime, he has to survive financially and try to get off the streets, in the hopes that one day he will be able to live openly as a gay man.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every day, I have hope,” he said. “As long as I’m still alive, I have hope that one day I can make it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only then can he make his California dream a reality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was produced in collaboration with an advanced reporting class at the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. Students spent a semester examining what the California Dream means to Angelenos from different walks of life.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
