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.",

The nearest immigration courts are in San Francisco and Los Angeles, and though attorneys can often make their appearances by phone, in some instances they’ve got to show up in person. That makes for lots of driving, and additional expenses for clients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Davenport’s Firebaugh presentation comes to an end, a crowd forms around her.

Because there are so few lawyers, the Central Valley is ripe for immigration fraud. “When you cannot connect people to quality service providers,” Davenport says, “they’re going to go to the person nearest them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Often that means an unqualified provider. In California, immigration consultants -- often known as \u003cem>notarios\u003c/em> in Spanish -- are barred from giving legal advice to clients, as they are not attorneys.

Perhaps nowhere is the crunch so tight as in the Central Valley, where a huge immigrant population is vying for a tiny number of immigration attorneys.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.aila.org/\">American Immigration Lawyers Association\u003c/a> has about 500 members in San Francisco and Oakland alone. In the entire Central Valley there are barely 40.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And for this small number of immigration lawyers, there are \u003ca href=\"http://data.cmsny.org/puma.html\">close to 300,000 legal immigrants eligible to become citizens in the region\u003c/a> -- and \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/main/publication_show.asp?i=818\">almost as many undocumented immigrants\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lack of attorneys poses one challenge to potential clients, as well as the fact that most of the lawyers are based in the cities that dot this vast agricultural region. But money also keeps a lot of people from getting legal help. Sweeney is well aware that most of his clients are farmworkers, with little cash to spare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11477450\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11477450 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/IMG_3845-e1495743457233-800x518.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"518\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/IMG_3845-e1495743457233-800x518.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/IMG_3845-e1495743457233-160x104.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/IMG_3845-e1495743457233-1020x660.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/IMG_3845-e1495743457233-1180x764.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/IMG_3845-e1495743457233-960x621.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/IMG_3845-e1495743457233-240x155.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/IMG_3845-e1495743457233-375x243.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/IMG_3845-e1495743457233-520x337.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/IMG_3845-e1495743457233.jpg 1829w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Justin Sweeney has seen an uptick in family-based immigration cases as well as deportation cases. \u003ccite>(Vanessa Rancano/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"This is an expensive case,\" Sweeney tells a green-card client who’s trying to help his undocumented wife become a legal resident. “I charge $5,000, and I need a $1,000 retainer upfront.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He adds: “I know, it’s a lot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For someone like Lupe Santoyo, that’s just too much. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Where are you gonna get that?

She says he’s had his green card for 30 years, but he’s scared to apply for citizenship because of an old DUI.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He really is afraid,” she says, explaining his concern that submitting the application requires alerting immigration authorities to this criminal history: “‘What if I submit the application and they’re going to deport me?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawyers are hard to come by in Santoyo’s town, and money’s tight.

It has identified more than 400 nonprofit immigration providers in California. Only 28 of them work in the Central Valley.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of the reason there are so few immigration attorneys or nonprofits working here, Davenport says, comes down to logistics. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Geography makes it a complicated place to practice,” she says. The nearest immigration courts are in San Francisco and Los Angeles, and though attorneys can often make their appearances by phone, in some instances they’ve got to show up in person. That makes for lots of driving, and additional expenses for clients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Davenport’s Firebaugh presentation comes to an end, a crowd forms around her. Hardly anyone here says they’ve consulted with any kind of immigration provider, and everyone is bursting with questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m gonna stay to answer a few individual questions,” Davenport says, “but they’ve got to be quick because there are so many.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'A lot of attorneys in the area, a lot of their caseload is cleaning up the mess created by fraudulent providers.'\u003ccite>Allison Davenport\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>For Lupe Santoyo the advice was well worth the wait -- she got some good news about her husband. “The lawyer said, 'Tell him to go ahead and fill it out and become a United States citizen.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now Santoyo’s challenge is finding trustworthy help with the paperwork. Because there are so few lawyers, the Central Valley is ripe for immigration fraud. “When you cannot connect people to quality service providers,” Davenport says, “they’re going to go to the person nearest them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Often that means an unqualified provider. In California, immigration consultants -- often known as \u003cem>notarios\u003c/em> in Spanish -- are barred from giving legal advice to clients, as they are not attorneys. In Mexico, \u003cem>notarios,\u003c/em> or notaries, are licensed to practice law, which leads some immigrants in the United States to trust any legal services they charge for. Some of these businesses are incompetent, while others are swindlers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a big, big problem,” Davenport says. “A lot of attorneys in the area, a lot of their caseload is cleaning up the mess created by fraudulent providers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fresno attorney Sweeney does his share of cleanup.

There’s nothing legally that I can do to bring her back. And I literally see that every week.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

How long have you had this contract, and why did you agree to it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sheriff David Livingston:\u003c/strong> The contract actually began back in 1992 with the U.S. Marshals Service. More recently ICE has asked to also use that contract to hold some of their detainees in our facility, which is important to know is a dormitory-style building in West County. It is intended specifically for that type of population. They actually have keys to their own cell doors. It's minimum to low security and it's extra bed space. So we thought it prudent to go ahead and rent those spaces to ICE, generate revenue and reduce the operating costs to the taxpayers of Contra Costa County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vu:\u003c/strong> How much revenue do you get from it a year?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Livingston:\u003c/strong> Typically it's about $6 million a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vu:\u003c/strong> And how many detainees on a given day, a given month?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Livingston:\u003c/strong> Our average is about 200 a day, although that moves day to day by as many as 10 or 20 in either direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vu:\u003c/strong> So on any given day, most people in your jail are there for reasons unrelated to immigration. They may be awaiting trial. They're serving time for other crimes. But in this country all inmates have their fingerprints sent to the FBI database. So once federal immigration authorities figure out that some of the folks you have there are undocumented, what do they want you to do?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Livingston:\u003c/strong> So essentially anyone that's booked into my jail and for Contra Costa -- of course, we don't have a choice who comes in the facility -- everyone is booked into one of our jails. Those fingerprints are automatically sent to Homeland Security and to FBI. It's at that time that ICE determines that they may want to interview one of the persons recently arrested in my facility, for example, and they notify us that they'd like to talk to that person. Formerly they might put in a request for a hold. Holds are no longer allowed in California. We don't honor holds. If that person is subject to being released at a certain time we release them at that time. If ICE is present to interview them, we’ll allow the interview to occur. Otherwise, that person is released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vu:\u003c/strong> Do you ever proactively contact ICE to let them know that someone is about to be released?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Livingston:\u003c/strong> If there is a particular individual that has come to our attention as a violent offender or a serious offender or who self-discloses that they may be subject to ICE investigation, we’ll notify ICE that they may be interested in this person. But that doesn't happen very often. ICE typically knows who they want to interview. And by the way, when they come in to do that interview, in many cases, they do not remove the person into their custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vu:\u003c/strong> You know, a lot of people take issue with that, though. You've had a number of protests at your facility. People who feel it's wrong for you to do this, wrong for you to proactively contact ICE. How do you respond to that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Livingston:\u003c/strong> Well, it's a relatively small group of people. It's somewhere between 30 and 50 that appear pretty regularly to protest. My obligation as sheriff for Contra Costa County is to provide public safety to the entire county -- that's 1.1 million people. So we focus on what's best, in our view, in providing public safety to everyone, not just particular special interest groups. And we already have a policy that I have signed off on that says we will do no immigration enforcement at all for our deputies on the street. This is really about the back end when someone who is already here, undocumented, has committed a new crime and now finds himself in jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vu:\u003c/strong> Several cities throughout California have declared themselves sanctuary cities and now there's a bill, SB 54, a state bill that would make all of California a sanctuary state and prohibit law enforcement agencies like yours from cooperating with federal immigration agents. Where do you stand on SB 54?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Livingston:\u003c/strong> I, like nearly all of my colleagues in California and the State Sheriffs’ Association, are absolutely opposed to that bill. We think it's a disaster. It's the first time that we have heard of where the state government is trying to tell us who we can talk to and who we can’t talk to among other law enforcement agencies. It would hamper our efforts in a very demonstrable way. We couldn't share basic information about human trafficking or other cases with ICE unless the individual has a prior conviction for a serious or violent felony. And so putting those kinds of restrictions on our access to our federal colleagues and partners can be very damaging to public safety. We oppose it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vu:\u003c/strong> Supporters of the bill, though, say that the flip side of this is that there would be damage to public safety from another angle, and that is, it would make undocumented immigrants so fearful of deportation that they would be less willing to cooperate with you and other law enforcement agencies, less willing to report crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Livingston:\u003c/strong> Well, we want everyone to feel comfortable coming to their local law enforcement agency or the sheriff's office to report a crime, of course, either to report a crime as a victim or a witness. We work in communities now, North Richmond, for example, where we already encounter those types of issues and it's very difficult to get people to come forward to work with us reporting crimes so ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vu:\u003c/strong> But wouldn’t those issues be exacerbated, though, if you keep on opposing this sanctuary bill?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Livingston:\u003c/strong> I don't believe so. In fact, if we have a situation where ICE has to go now into the community to take someone into custody who may be facing a felony or a very serious charge, when they could have had that interview conducted in the safety and security of a custodial facility, that's putting more people at risk. So we believe at least working with ICE to the extent that they can conduct an interview makes sense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vu:\u003c/strong> You're currently seeking $95 million to expand the West County facility. State Sen. Nancy Skinner of Berkeley has a bill that essentially bars state funds from being used for jail expansions in counties that hold ICE detainees. So you're seeking of this $95 million in funds could be in jeopardy if this bill passes. Your thoughts on Sen. Skinner's bill?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Livingston:\u003c/strong> I think Sen. Skinner has moved the goalposts in the middle of the game. We applied in good faith for those funds to build a re-entry facility that will help those that need it most in our custody -- mental health treatment, substance abuse treatment. That's what this is about. It's a $70 billion grant with matching funds that the county would come up with. The grants will be awarded as early as next week. It's a very competitive grant and we've had this contract with ICE for many, many years. So to now say, well, if you received the grant funds you're not going to be able to have contracts with any federal agency, I think is just patently unfair and it's inappropriate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vu:\u003c/strong> All right, Sheriff David Livingston of Contra Costa County, thank you so much for being here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Sheraz Sadiq, Julie Small and Lisa Pickoff-White contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Still, he would prefer to maintain both funding sources, as they are allocated to different needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview with \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/programs/kqed-newsroom/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KQED Newsroom\u003c/a>, Sheriff Livingston discussed in detail the county’s policies and interactions with ICE.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Interview Transcript\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Editor’s note: This transcript has been edited for clarity.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Thuy Vu:\u003c/strong> Contra Costa has a contract with ICE -- Immigration and Customs Enforcement -- to house federal detainees at your jail in Richmond. How long have you had this contract, and why did you agree to it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sheriff David Livingston:\u003c/strong> The contract actually began back in 1992 with the U.S. Marshals Service. More recently ICE has asked to also use that contract to hold some of their detainees in our facility, which is important to know is a dormitory-style building in West County. It is intended specifically for that type of population. They actually have keys to their own cell doors. It's minimum to low security and it's extra bed space. So we thought it prudent to go ahead and rent those spaces to ICE, generate revenue and reduce the operating costs to the taxpayers of Contra Costa County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vu:\u003c/strong> How much revenue do you get from it a year?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Livingston:\u003c/strong> Typically it's about $6 million a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vu:\u003c/strong> And how many detainees on a given day, a given month?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Livingston:\u003c/strong> Our average is about 200 a day, although that moves day to day by as many as 10 or 20 in either direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vu:\u003c/strong> So on any given day, most people in your jail are there for reasons unrelated to immigration. They may be awaiting trial. They're serving time for other crimes. But in this country all inmates have their fingerprints sent to the FBI database. So once federal immigration authorities figure out that some of the folks you have there are undocumented, what do they want you to do?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Livingston:\u003c/strong> So essentially anyone that's booked into my jail and for Contra Costa -- of course, we don't have a choice who comes in the facility -- everyone is booked into one of our jails. Those fingerprints are automatically sent to Homeland Security and to FBI. It's at that time that ICE determines that they may want to interview one of the persons recently arrested in my facility, for example, and they notify us that they'd like to talk to that person. Formerly they might put in a request for a hold. Holds are no longer allowed in California. We don't honor holds. If that person is subject to being released at a certain time we release them at that time. If ICE is present to interview them, we’ll allow the interview to occur. Otherwise, that person is released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vu:\u003c/strong> Do you ever proactively contact ICE to let them know that someone is about to be released?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Livingston:\u003c/strong> If there is a particular individual that has come to our attention as a violent offender or a serious offender or who self-discloses that they may be subject to ICE investigation, we’ll notify ICE that they may be interested in this person. But that doesn't happen very often. ICE typically knows who they want to interview. And by the way, when they come in to do that interview, in many cases, they do not remove the person into their custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vu:\u003c/strong> You know, a lot of people take issue with that, though. You've had a number of protests at your facility. People who feel it's wrong for you to do this, wrong for you to proactively contact ICE. How do you respond to that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Livingston:\u003c/strong> Well, it's a relatively small group of people. It's somewhere between 30 and 50 that appear pretty regularly to protest. My obligation as sheriff for Contra Costa County is to provide public safety to the entire county -- that's 1.1 million people. So we focus on what's best, in our view, in providing public safety to everyone, not just particular special interest groups. And we already have a policy that I have signed off on that says we will do no immigration enforcement at all for our deputies on the street. This is really about the back end when someone who is already here, undocumented, has committed a new crime and now finds himself in jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vu:\u003c/strong> Several cities throughout California have declared themselves sanctuary cities and now there's a bill, SB 54, a state bill that would make all of California a sanctuary state and prohibit law enforcement agencies like yours from cooperating with federal immigration agents. Where do you stand on SB 54?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Livingston:\u003c/strong> I, like nearly all of my colleagues in California and the State Sheriffs’ Association, are absolutely opposed to that bill. We think it's a disaster. It's the first time that we have heard of where the state government is trying to tell us who we can talk to and who we can’t talk to among other law enforcement agencies. It would hamper our efforts in a very demonstrable way. We couldn't share basic information about human trafficking or other cases with ICE unless the individual has a prior conviction for a serious or violent felony. And so putting those kinds of restrictions on our access to our federal colleagues and partners can be very damaging to public safety. We oppose it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vu:\u003c/strong> Supporters of the bill, though, say that the flip side of this is that there would be damage to public safety from another angle, and that is, it would make undocumented immigrants so fearful of deportation that they would be less willing to cooperate with you and other law enforcement agencies, less willing to report crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Livingston:\u003c/strong> Well, we want everyone to feel comfortable coming to their local law enforcement agency or the sheriff's office to report a crime, of course, either to report a crime as a victim or a witness. We work in communities now, North Richmond, for example, where we already encounter those types of issues and it's very difficult to get people to come forward to work with us reporting crimes so ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vu:\u003c/strong> But wouldn’t those issues be exacerbated, though, if you keep on opposing this sanctuary bill?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Livingston:\u003c/strong> I don't believe so. In fact, if we have a situation where ICE has to go now into the community to take someone into custody who may be facing a felony or a very serious charge, when they could have had that interview conducted in the safety and security of a custodial facility, that's putting more people at risk. So we believe at least working with ICE to the extent that they can conduct an interview makes sense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vu:\u003c/strong> You're currently seeking $95 million to expand the West County facility. State Sen. Nancy Skinner of Berkeley has a bill that essentially bars state funds from being used for jail expansions in counties that hold ICE detainees. So you're seeking of this $95 million in funds could be in jeopardy if this bill passes. Your thoughts on Sen. Skinner's bill?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Livingston:\u003c/strong> I think Sen. Skinner has moved the goalposts in the middle of the game. We applied in good faith for those funds to build a re-entry facility that will help those that need it most in our custody -- mental health treatment, substance abuse treatment. That's what this is about. It's a $70 billion grant with matching funds that the county would come up with. The grants will be awarded as early as next week. It's a very competitive grant and we've had this contract with ICE for many, many years. So to now say, well, if you received the grant funds you're not going to be able to have contracts with any federal agency, I think is just patently unfair and it's inappropriate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Vu:\u003c/strong> All right, Sheriff David Livingston of Contra Costa County, thank you so much for being here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They’ve \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlCZPm-4_Hc\">created videos\u003c/a> to send overseas applicants the message that Southern California is a tolerant place where they are welcome.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/FlCZPm-4_Hc'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/FlCZPm-4_Hc'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>This campus has nearly 2,000 students from abroad earning a degree, one of the highest number among all 23 Cal State universities.

Gould and Richard A. Paez -- all Bill Clinton appointees -- to hear more than an hour of oral arguments by Wall and attorney Neal Katyal, who is representing the state of Hawaii.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katyal argued that Trump is overstepping his executive authority, noting that in 2015 Congress considered whether the people from countries cited in the travel ban posed a broad threat, but decided that requiring them to secure visas was sufficient to protect the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"PJaK1ceAnuMh2DVZRvyElBghzOUVVwCZ\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kaytal said the government couldn't point to anything specific Trump has said to disavow his promise of a Muslim ban \"because in truth there is no such statement.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By contrast, he argued, the plaintiffs cited Trump's statements both before and after he became president calling for a ban based on religion \"chapter and verse.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katyal said upholding the travel ban would do away with decades of immigration law and precedent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The law has always been, even when there is a delegation of authority (by Congress), it still has to be viewed within the context of a broader immigration scheme, and to view it the way they do would allow the president to take a magic eraser to the entire code,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another 9th Circuit panel already \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/02/09/9th-circuit-denies-reinstatement-of-trump-travel-ban/\">refused to reinstate the travel ban\u003c/a> in February, ruling that it does not believe the Trump administration is likely to succeed upon appeal, or that the administration demonstrated that the ban needs to be instated. That case was brought by the states of Washington and Minnesota, and joined by more than a dozen other states including California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another lawsuit, brought by the state of Maryland, also \u003ca href=\"http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/bs-md-trump-travel-unconstitutional-20170316-story.html\">resulted in an injunction against the travel ban\u003c/a>, but a more narrow one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judges hearing the Hawaii case didn't give much indication which way they would rule. Hawkins pressed Wall on why the government is arguing the court should take only Trump's \"good\" statements seriously and discount \"bad\" things he said. But he also asked Kaytal why the court shouldn't \"be deferential to the office of the president of the U.S. in this situation?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's the million-dollar question,\" Kaytal replied, arguing that the question is not what the president says he means but what a neutral observer would infer from his own words.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katyal cited the hundreds of groups -- including governments, faith groups, labor unions and even conservative groups -- who are supporting Hawaii's position.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They are all coming before you and saying, look, this is unprecedented -- we have not seen anything like this within our lifetimes, in which a president is establishing a disfavored religion.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

Gould and Richard A. Paez -- all Bill Clinton appointees -- to hear more than an hour of oral arguments by Wall and attorney Neal Katyal, who is representing the state of Hawaii.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katyal argued that Trump is overstepping his executive authority, noting that in 2015 Congress considered whether the people from countries cited in the travel ban posed a broad threat, but decided that requiring them to secure visas was sufficient to protect the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kaytal said the government couldn't point to anything specific Trump has said to disavow his promise of a Muslim ban \"because in truth there is no such statement.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By contrast, he argued, the plaintiffs cited Trump's statements both before and after he became president calling for a ban based on religion \"chapter and verse.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katyal said upholding the travel ban would do away with decades of immigration law and precedent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The law has always been, even when there is a delegation of authority (by Congress), it still has to be viewed within the context of a broader immigration scheme, and to view it the way they do would allow the president to take a magic eraser to the entire code,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another 9th Circuit panel already \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/02/09/9th-circuit-denies-reinstatement-of-trump-travel-ban/\">refused to reinstate the travel ban\u003c/a> in February, ruling that it does not believe the Trump administration is likely to succeed upon appeal, or that the administration demonstrated that the ban needs to be instated. That case was brought by the states of Washington and Minnesota, and joined by more than a dozen other states including California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another lawsuit, brought by the state of Maryland, also \u003ca href=\"http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/bs-md-trump-travel-unconstitutional-20170316-story.html\">resulted in an injunction against the travel ban\u003c/a>, but a more narrow one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judges hearing the Hawaii case didn't give much indication which way they would rule. Hawkins pressed Wall on why the government is arguing the court should take only Trump's \"good\" statements seriously and discount \"bad\" things he said. But he also asked Kaytal why the court shouldn't \"be deferential to the office of the president of the U.S. in this situation?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's the million-dollar question,\" Kaytal replied, arguing that the question is not what the president says he means but what a neutral observer would infer from his own words.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katyal cited the hundreds of groups -- including governments, faith groups, labor unions and even conservative groups -- who are supporting Hawaii's position.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They are all coming before you and saying, look, this is unprecedented -- we have not seen anything like this within our lifetimes, in which a president is establishing a disfavored religion.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

About 84 percent of detainees spent less than one month in detention.

Putting those kinds of restrictions on our access to our federal colleagues and partners can be very damaging to public safety.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Who Is Detained in California?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>People are generally held in immigration detention while they await a hearing in immigration court. This population includes asylum seekers and people in deportation proceedings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People detained in California come from all over the world, according to data from ICE.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The map below shows the number of immigration detainees held on one day in California in November 2016, by country of origin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">[detaineeMapNat]\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>Human Rights Watch reports that nearly half of immigrant detainees held in California had no criminal histories. And of detainees with criminal records, those convicted of relatively minor offenses — immigration offenses, drug use, possession or DUI — outnumbered by nearly 3-to-1 those convicted of violent felonies. Many of those crimes were also committed years ago. On average, the most recent conviction had occurred seven years before being detained by immigration. \u003ca href=\"https://www.nber.org/papers/w13229.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Statistically\u003c/a>, immigrants are less likely to commit crime than people born in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vast majority of immigrants detained in California were arrested in the state or at the border, Human Rights Watch said. About 40 percent of detainees entered into the system in San Diego or at the border; and 20 percent in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents of SB 54 and SB 29 say that ending immigration detention in California would separate families since detainees would end up in other states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The amount of time that immigrant detainees spent in detention varied greatly, according to the Human Rights Watch report. About 84 percent of detainees spent less than one month in detention. However, 8,298 people spent more than six months, and 1,787 more than a year in detention during the time period Human Rights Watch studied. Only one in 10 detainees were granted bond.\u003cbr>\n\u003ca name=\"report\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nThe majority, 55 percent, of people studied by Human Rights Watch were deported.
