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>San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin called on Gov. Gavin Newsom Thursday to use his executive authority to shut down federal immigration detention centers in California to protect public health during the coronavirus pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The call came amid a growing outcry by medical experts, immigrant advocates and a former director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) over the potential danger of COVID-19 in ICE detention facilities. And it followed a lawsuit filed by 13 medically vulnerable detained immigrants in California, calling on ICE to release them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also Thursday, U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein released a \u003ca href=\"https://www.feinstein.senate.gov/public/_cache/files/0/9/0979f829-5357-4445-bb38-b98f47830583/280AF56FBFEB41A5FBAD5C414F21993E.2020.03.25-doj-immigration-courts.pdf\">letter\u003c/a> she sent to Attorney General William Barr, calling for the U.S. Department of Justice to suspend all immigration court hearings during the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boudin said San Francisco has safely reduced its jail population by 25 percent over the past three weeks. And he said releasing some of the 38,000 people currently detained by ICE nationwide should be easier because immigration custody is a form of civil, not criminal, detention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When someone dies in immigration detention, their blood will be on our hands,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boudin said he believes Newsom could use an executive order to ban the use of private detention centers. Four ICE facilities in California are operated by private prison companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also called on the governor to order state prisons to stop handing over inmates to ICE, adding that California prisons hold approximately 11,000 people who, under current policy, will be handed over to ICE after they have served their criminal sentences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s a huge pipeline of people whose lives are being jeopardized during the coronavirus pandemic,” said Boudin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s press secretary Vicky Waters would not comment on whether the governor would consider such steps, but she said in a statement: “The federal government has exclusive authority over immigration law, but as we continue to grapple with the COVID-19 outbreak, we want everyone in the state to know that their health and welfare is our top priority.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='left' citation=\"Chesa Boudin, San Francisco District Attorney\"]'That’s a huge pipeline of people whose lives are being jeopardized during the coronavirus pandemic.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, advocates in California and across the country voiced concern that an outbreak of COVID-19 inside any of the nation’s 138 ICE detention facilities could affect not just the immigrants and staff inside, but also the families and communities that ICE employees return to at the end of their shifts, and the hospitals where patients from ICE facilities would be taken for care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Thursday evening, ICE \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/covid19\">reported\u003c/a> two confirmed cases of COVID-19 among people held in detention in Newark and Hackensack, New Jersey. Three employees at ICE detention facilities also had confirmed cases — in Elizabeth, New Jersey, Aurora, Colorado and Houston, Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Crowded detention facilities are ideal incubators for disease, threatening the health not just of the detained, but of surrounding communities,” said Sandro Galea, dean of the Boston University School of Public Health. “To safeguard public health, nonviolent detainees should be released and allowed to self-isolate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That proposal was echoed by John Sandweg, a former acting director of ICE who served under President Barack Obama.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The design of these facilities requires inmates to remain in close contact with one another — the opposite of the social distancing now recommended for stopping the spread of the lethal coronavirus,” Sandweg wrote in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/release-ice-detainees/608536/\">column\u003c/a> in The Atlantic earlier this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"More Coverage\" tag=\"coronavirus\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By releasing from custody the thousands of detainees who pose no threat to public safety and do not constitute an unmanageable flight risk, ICE can reduce the overcrowding of its detention centers, and thus make them safer,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Infectious diseases have surged through ICE detention centers in the past, including an outbreak of mumps last year that sickened more than 900 inmates and staff at 57 facilities, \u003ca href=\"https://www.businessinsider.com/mumps-sickens-hundreds-of-detained-migrants-in-19-states-2019-8\">according to the Associated Press\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Detention Watch Network, an advocacy group for immigrants in ICE custody, called for the immediate release of all detained immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fearing coronavirus infection, 13 detained immigrants in California \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclunc.org/sites/default/files/Demands_ICE_Release_Immigrants_2020.03.24.pdf\">filed suit\u003c/a> against ICE last week in federal district court in San Francisco. The detainees are held in Yuba County Jail, in Marysville, and the Mesa Verde ICE Processing Facility, a private prison in Bakersfield operated by the GEO Group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plaintiffs called on ICE to release them because of their advanced age and underlying medical conditions — which they believe puts them at risk of death if they contract COVID-19. They said they are being held in crowded and unsanitary conditions where they are denied the ability to protect themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One plaintiff, Sofia Bahena Ortuno, a 64-year-old farmworker and grandmother who said she suffers from hypothyroidism and diabetes, was released the same day the lawsuit was filed, according to her lawyers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union, along with the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights, the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office and Lakin & Wille, LLP. In recent days the ACLU has also brought suit on behalf of ICE detainees in Washington state, Massachusetts, Maryland and Pennsylvania.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE officials would not comment on the lawsuit or speak on the record about the fear among detainees and their advocates of COVID-19 outbreaks in detention. An ICE spokesman directed KQED to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/covid19\">agency's coronavirus webpage\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The website states that “ICE epidemiologists have been tracking the outbreak, regularly updating infection prevention and control protocols, and issuing guidance to ICE Health Service Corps (IHSC) staff for the screening and management of potential exposure among detainees.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE has suspended visits by friends and family members and “is actively working with state and local health partners to determine if any detainee requires additional testing or monitoring to combat the spread of the virus,” the website said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='left' citation=\"Sen.

The benefit of reducing the risk to public health outweighs pressing forward with non-critical matters during this pandemic.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also on Thursday, lawyers representing children in immigration custody asked a federal judge in Los Angeles for an order requiring the government to release every child to a guardian within seven days or explain why it didn’t to a court-appointed monitor. The lawyers also asked the judge to require that children and families be held in “non-congregate” settings or else provide detained children and parents the ability to keep six feet of distance from others and to freely wash their hands with soap and water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Feinstein called on the U.S. Department of Justice and its Executive Office of Immigration Review (EOIR), to temporarily close the nation’s immigration courts for hearings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Critical matters, such as bond hearings for adult detainees and emergency hearings for children, should be handled telephonically,” wrote Feinstein. “The benefit of reducing the risk to public health outweighs pressing forward with non-critical matters during this pandemic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her letter follows a similar call by the nation’s immigration judges, the ICE lawyers union and the American Immigration Lawyers Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, the agency announced that it was suspending hearings through April 10 for people who are not in ICE detention. And on Monday, EOIR announced that hearings through April 23 would be postponed for asylum seekers forced to wait in Mexico under the U.S. government’s Migrant Protection Protocols.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday evening, the agency issued a statement saying EOIR’s current operations are in line with most other federal courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Recognizing that cases of detained individuals may implicate unique constitutional concerns and raise particular issues of public safety, personal liberty, and due process, few federal courts have closed completely,” the statement said. “EOIR is similarly continuing to receive filings and to hold hearings for detained aliens while monitoring and minimizing risks presented by COVID-19.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency said even though immigration courts are open, they are not conducting work that involves the presence of the general public. And EOIR is encouraging the use of video and telephone appearances at hearings and electronic filing or U.S. mail delivery of documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, 55 of the nation’s 69 immigration courts \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/eoir/eoir-operational-status-during-coronavirus-pandemic\">remained open\u003c/a> in this manner.\u003c/p>\n\n",

They need to wear gloves and a hair net as usual, but now they’re also wearing masks over their noses and mouths.

But during the COVID-19 pandemic, employers who manage the state’s orchards, packing sheds and fields of row crops are faced with a dilemma: continue operating and hope that workers don’t get sick or shutter their doors, forcing workers to file for unemployment and putting the country’s food supply at risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.fda.gov/food/food-safety-during-emergencies/food-safety-and-coronavirus-disease-2019-covid-19\">Food and Drug Administration is reassuring\u003c/a> consumers that there’s no evidence of COVID-19 transmission through food or food packaging. Another question, however, is how to keep farmworkers safe from exposure on the job when social distancing is often difficult.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Miguel Arias, Fresno City Council president\"]“My biggest concern with the undocumented residents is that they’re going to be scared to come in and be checked and ask for a test, even though we know that they’re sick.”[/pullquote]\u003cbr>\nLupe Sandoval, managing director of the California Farm Labor Contractor Association, said guidelines released by agencies like the state’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health, the California Department of Public Health and the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention so far have been generic and lack the specific guidance agricultural employers need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“How many industries do you see where the employer provides group transportation?” Sandoval said. “Ag is a little different. A lot of workers will get together in vans to drive to the job site. Or an employer will be registered with the federal government to bus workers to the job site. When you have 20-25 workers in a bus, or fewer in a van, it makes it difficult for social distancing and would entail more extensive disinfecting of common surfaces in vehicles before and after rides.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Workers also often share drinking water dispensers in the fields and sometimes work in close proximity to one another, which can make social distancing a challenge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frank Polizzi, a spokesperson for the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR), said the agency recently began working on industry-specific guidance for agricultural workers, after receiving questions from employers. DIR plans to publish the guidance in English this week and in Spanish soon after, Polizzi said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Erica Rosasco, an agricultural employment attorney in Roseville, said she has received a flood of calls from employers with questions about how to comply with labor laws during the coronavirus outbreak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They want to know how to deal with the virus and how to deal with sick employees. I have had some clients whose employees are sick and they believe they do have the virus,” Rosasco said. “So, what are their responsibilities, what are their obligations, what’s best practice?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11808286\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11808286\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS407_farmlabor20120427-800x437.jpg\" alt=\"Farmworkers harvest strawberries at a farm in Carlsbad, California, in April 2006.\" width=\"800\" height=\"437\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS407_farmlabor20120427-800x437.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS407_farmlabor20120427-160x87.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS407_farmlabor20120427-1020x558.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS407_farmlabor20120427-1920x1050.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Farmworkers harvest strawberries at a farm in Carlsbad, California, in April 2006. \u003ccite>(Sandy Huffaker/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>At least workers are unlikely to be laid off, Rosasco said. She said she is advising employers to move forward with agricultural work and give workers assurance they will continue to have a job during the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because [workers are] nervous about the idea of the shelter-in-place orders, what’s going to happen to them? They live paycheck to paycheck. They’re worried about it,” Rosasco said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s part of the supply chain. If our ag workers don’t keep working, we’re not going to have fruits and veggies in the markets,” she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, Fresno City Council President Miguel Arias said he’s worried about undocumented farmworkers who lack health care coverage and might wait as long as possible before seeking treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My biggest concern with the undocumented residents is that they’re going to be scared to come in and be checked and ask for a test, even though we know that they’re sick,” Arias said. “They’re so used to going to work, irrespective of their health conditions or whether they’re under the weather and running a fever, that once they begin to use our health care system for the coronavirus, our health care system will be overwhelmed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, Fresno City Councilman Luis Chavez sent a letter to Democratic Fresno congressman Jim Costa requesting additional federal funding for protective gear for health workers and support for rural clinics to help treat a “potential overflow of patients.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That needs to be a part of this conversation as we’re preparing a response — to have [farmworkers] be prioritized,” Chavez said. “Because if they get sick and they’re not there, the whole country’s going to suffer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"coronavirus\" label=\"more coronavirus coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Workplace Benefits\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State labor officials said they are committed to enforcing California law when it comes to protections for low-wage workers, including farmworkers who may be undocumented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The current public health crisis has really highlighted the differences between those workers who have ‘Cadillac’ operations and have protections and paid benefits, versus the majority of workers in California who do not have those protections or privileges,” said Lilia Garcia-Brower, California’s labor commissioner. Her staff of 700 investigates and adjudicates workplace violations ranging from unpaid wages to retaliation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia-Brower said her office is trying to “ensure that we reach the most vulnerable workers, those workers providing critical services, and that everyone understands that regardless of your immigration status, you do have basic protections for unpaid time, for paid sick leave and \u003ca href=\"https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/2019-Novel-Coronavirus.htm\">other protections in the labor code.\u003c/a>”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California law mandates three days of sick leave. Beyond that, workers can also apply for \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11806938/how-to-file-for-unemployment-in-california-during-the-coronavirus-pandemic\">disability and paid family leave\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But undocumented workers cannot collect unemployment. To qualify, workers must show legal work authorization and immigration status, said a spokesperson for California’s Economic Development Department (EDD) in an email. EDD also confirmed that it verifies immigration status with the Department of Homeland Security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Facebook poll conducted in early March by the United Farm Workers union found over 90% of roughly 270 respondents — the majority from California, Washington and Oregon — said they had not received any information about the coronavirus from their employer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The UFW has \u003ca href=\"https://ufw.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/COVID-19-2020-Open-Letter-from-UFW-FINAL.pdf\">called on employers\u003c/a> to extend worker sick pay to 40 hours or more and to eliminate the 90-day waiting period for new employees to be eligible for sick pay, among other changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/UFWupdates/status/1241726492717076482?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kqed.org%2Fnews%2F11808267%2F11808267-autosave-v1\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘I’ll Pay for the Test’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether farmworkers get sick, have to stay home and care for children or can’t get a visa to work in the U.S., the coronavirus could threaten the country’s supply of farm labor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. farms have become \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11778033/can-a-costly-guest-worker-program-meet-californias-need-for-farm-labor\">increasingly reliant\u003c/a> on the H-2A program over the years, which allows workers to come to the U.S. to plant, prune and harvest crops on a seasonal basis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, U.S. consulates in Mexico \u003ca href=\"https://mx.usembassy.gov/status-of-u-s-consular-operations-in-mexico-in-light-of-covid-19/?fbclid=IwAR2GCu9JbyZaV8Gj2jDnz_ZuXcu44so90R90tKNG1zUU_z5tfPKKpgkH6Rs\">announced\u003c/a> they would scale back their operations to maintain social distancing while prioritizing applications for returning H-2A guest workers who are eligible for an interview waiver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, a spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Agriculture said the agency is “directly engaged with the State Department and working diligently to ensure minimal disruption in H-2A visa applications,” and that the Trump administration is “doing everything possible” to keep the program going.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re all scared to death,” said Ileana Arvizu, a farm labor contractor and president of ISA Contracting Services based in Firebaugh, west of Fresno. “We need those workers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arvizu said she would be willing to pay for H-2A workers to be tested for the coronavirus if it meant the workers would arrive in the U.S. in time for the season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If they decide that they want to make sure that they’re clear and safe, [that] they’re not coming in with the virus, I’ll pay for the test.

That means U.S.-born workers could be recruited to work in agriculture, Daniel Costa said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Maricruz Ladino, farmworker\"]“This crisis is going to touch all of us. It’s a time for reflecting, re-evaluating what’s important.”[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s obviously the big question,” he said. “In California, there’s about to be 1.6 million unemployed workers. Will those workers take those jobs? It’s an experiment that’s about to happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But farm labor contractor Jasmine Quintanilla said she thinks that’s unlikely, even if many people are out of a job due to the coronavirus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quintanilla said she tried hiring U.S.-born workers during past labor shortages, but they quit on their own after just a couple of hours. Workers who are new to agriculture lack experience, which presents a problem for labor contractors under pressure to work quickly and meet the expectations of growers, Quintanilla said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can’t really afford new people … inexperienced people,” Quintanilla said. “People that have never worked in the field, they won’t even come out there. They’ll be like, ‘Heck no, this is too hard.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Uncertainty in the Fields\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While many farms are scrambling to send more produce to supermarkets these days, farmworker Maricruz Ladino says her shifts at the packing house have become more irregular over the last week. Sometimes, there’s only a few hours of work, or workers are told to stand by to see if there will be shifts at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do see some hiccups … given the restaurant shutdowns across the country. Those orders have suddenly stopped,” said Dave Puglia, president and CEO of \u003ca href=\"https://www.wga.com/\">Western Growers\u003c/a>, representing fresh produce growers in California and Arizona.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You would think that we could simply redirect those fresh produce crops into the retail sector, especially because we have shortages in stores. But it unfortunately isn’t that simple,” Puglia said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s because farms have to work out new contracts, Puglia said, and figure out the capacity of shipping companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11808285\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 540px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11808285\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS5166_5Maricruz-sfi.jpg\" alt=\"Maricruz Ladino inspecting lettuce at a Salinas packing plant. \" width=\"540\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS5166_5Maricruz-sfi.jpg 540w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS5166_5Maricruz-sfi-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Maricruz Ladino inspecting lettuce at a Salinas packing plant. \u003ccite>(Andres Cediel/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Ladino earns about $16 an hour as a supervisor in the packing cooler.

That includes the count of the homeless population and of people living in “group quarters\" (college students on some campuses and residents of places like nursing homes, group homes and prisons).

La Luz, the civic participation group that Sanchez works for, partnered with the Latino Community Foundation, printing out about 500 copies and distributing them throughout the community. They even created a \u003ca href=\"https://latinocf.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Censoteria_011520.1.pdf\">free downloadable game.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, for all of Sanchez’s creativity, it’s unclear whether the game, which is part of the state’s $187 million census outreach effort, will move the needle even slightly.

But getting an accurate count this year could prove extremely challenging, particularly in California. The state faces powerful headwinds that are expected to depress census turnout, not only from the mounting threat of the coronavirus, but also from widespread distrust sowed by the Trump administration’s anti-immigration policies, including a failed attempt to include a citizenship question on the form.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For California, where the population growth rate is at its slowest in over a century, the stakes have never been higher: A significant undercount could jeopardize one of the state's \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/explainers/california-census-2020-explained/\">53 congressional seats\u003c/a>, along with billions of dollars in federal funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just as census notices began landing in people’s mailboxes, Gov. Gavin Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/16/us/california-newsom-bars-home-isolation.html\">clamped down on public gatherings\u003c/a> in an effort to mitigate the coronavirus outbreak, disrupting months of planned outreach events and door-to-door appeals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s been a challenge because we have to take precautions on how we conduct outreach,” said Melissa Vergara from the San Mateo County Office of Community Affairs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And allies have unintentionally sent mixed signals. Some immigrant rights activists, who spent last year cautioning immigrants to ignore federal agents knocking on their door during nationwide raids, are now encouraging people to voluntarily give information to the Census Bureau, which is part of the federal government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/publication/californians-and-the-2020-census/\">Millions of Californians\u003c/a> are now at risk of being undercounted.

It also comprises many young children, who are often not recorded in household responses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"2020-census\"]Moreover, response rates often come down to race and ethnicity. California is a majority minority state, with nearly 11 million immigrants and close to 40% of the population who identify as Latino or Hispanic. That has led to a growing concern among organizers and census officials that government distrust will significantly reduce the statewide response rate, even among residents with legal status. It has been particularly difficult this year to assure people that census information will be kept private and only used for statistical analysis, some organizers say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think historically we’ve thought about non-citizens or unauthorized immigrants as particularly hard to count,” said Sarah Bohn of the Public Policy Institute of California. “But I think there is concern about whether this environment we’re in right now with regard to immigrants is going to dissuade even legal immigrants from responding — just because of fear or distrust of the government.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California residents benefit from dozens of federal programs, including Medicare, Medicaid, affordable housing and funding for roads, school lunches, early childhood education and foster care.

La Luz, the civic participation group that Sanchez works for, partnered with the Latino Community Foundation, printing out about 500 copies and distributing them throughout the community. They even created a \u003ca href=\"https://latinocf.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Censoteria_011520.1.pdf\">free downloadable game.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, for all of Sanchez’s creativity, it’s unclear whether the game, which is part of the state’s $187 million census outreach effort, will move the needle even slightly.

But getting an accurate count this year could prove extremely challenging, particularly in California. The state faces powerful headwinds that are expected to depress census turnout, not only from the mounting threat of the coronavirus, but also from widespread distrust sowed by the Trump administration’s anti-immigration policies, including a failed attempt to include a citizenship question on the form.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For California, where the population growth rate is at its slowest in over a century, the stakes have never been higher: A significant undercount could jeopardize one of the state's \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/explainers/california-census-2020-explained/\">53 congressional seats\u003c/a>, along with billions of dollars in federal funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just as census notices began landing in people’s mailboxes, Gov. Gavin Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/16/us/california-newsom-bars-home-isolation.html\">clamped down on public gatherings\u003c/a> in an effort to mitigate the coronavirus outbreak, disrupting months of planned outreach events and door-to-door appeals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s been a challenge because we have to take precautions on how we conduct outreach,” said Melissa Vergara from the San Mateo County Office of Community Affairs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And allies have unintentionally sent mixed signals.

"content": "\u003cp>President Trump plans to seal off the U.S-Mexico border to migrants under a law intended to protect the country from communicable disease — a move that comes as the U.S. immigration system grinds to a halt in response to the growing coronavirus pandemic. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a press conference Wednesday, Trump said the southern border would not close completely. But the move would allow the administration to quickly deport asylum-seekers and other migrants who cross the U.S.-Mexico border illegally without due process. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the U.S. and Canada have\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/03/18/817459237/trump-blames-chinese-virus-as-coronavirus-speads-hurting-economy\"> agreed to close their mutual border\u003c/a> to all “non-essential” traffic, following earlier restrictions imposed by the Trump administration on travel from Europe and China. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The dramatic developments on the northern and southern borders come as immigration is being curtailed in other ways, too. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. Immigration and Citizenship Services, the agency in charge of processing green card and citizenship applications as well as conducting asylum interviews, is closing its field offices to the public. Immigrants fighting deportation are having their cases postponed as some immigration courts are limiting dockets and others are closing. Refugee resettlement is temporarily suspended as well, according to the United Nations, because of the coronavirus pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are about 100 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Mexico, and about 600 in Canada, compared to nearly 8,000 cases in the United States. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigrant advocates accuse the Trump administration of exploiting the pandemic to advance its crackdown on asylum-seekers, and the partial closure of the southern border where thousands have amassed in Mexico is sure to draw legal challenges. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“President Trump has been falsely scapegoating immigrant communities in the name of public safety since he came into office,” said Michelle Brané at the Women’s Refugee Commission. “This rule would unquestionably violate both domestic and international law and is an abdication of our moral responsibility to protect vulnerable people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, immigrant advocates and physicians who study detention facilities are calling on U.S. authorities to release detained immigrants who pose no threat to public safety — starting with detainees who have medical conditions that put them at high risk for severe complications from COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In immigration detention, there’s no such thing as social distancing. Detainees often live together, in large rooms with rows of cots. Immigrant advocates say that makes detention centers ideal breeding grounds for the virus. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is a disaster that is waiting to happen,” said Eunice Cho, a lawyer with the American Civil Liberties Union, which filed a lawsuit this week seeking the release of immigrants with a range of medical conditions who are detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Tacoma, Washington. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Medical [problems] in ICE detention facilities are inadequate in normal times,” Cho said. “These are not normal times, and ICE needs to take stock of that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Coronavirus Coverage' tag='coronavirus']ICE is currently holding \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/detention-management\">more than 37,000 immigrants\u003c/a> in its detention centers. Nearly half have been accused of no crime other than civil immigration violations, and many probably would not have been held under previous administrations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Court cases involving ICE detainees will continue, despite \u003ca href=\"https://gothamist.com/news/attorneys-and-government-workers-call-shutting-down-immigration-courts\">calls to suspend all hearings\u003c/a> from the union representing immigration judges, prosecutors and immigration attorneys. Hearings for immigrants who are not in detention have been postponed until April. Immigration courts in New York, Atlanta, Houston and elsewhere will close.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, ICE says it is taking precautions to protect detainees. The agency has temporarily suspended social visits at all of its detention centers. As of Tuesday, ICE says, there were no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in its detention facilities. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in New Jersey, one staffer at the Elizabeth Detention Center has voluntarily self-quarantined after feeling ill, and has been tested for the COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would seem to be only a matter of time before the virus makes its way into these particular settings,” said Anwen Hughes, an attorney with the nonprofit Human Rights First who represents immigrants being held in Elizabeth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s the opposite of social distancing” at the facility, Hughes said. “It’s like social piling on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not just immigrant advocates who want to see ICE detainees released. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of people think that, well, these are, you know, controlled locked facilities and you just lock them up and seal them off and the virus isn’t going to get in. Well, it’s not that simple,” said Dr. Josiah Rich, an epidemiologist at Brown University who studies infectious disease in correctional facilities. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not just the detainees who are at risk if there’s an outbreak, Rich says, because an influx of sick detainees could overwhelm local medical facilities. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So you’ll have a whole group of people that are going to be infected because of rapid spread in that correctional and detention facility,” he said. “And then all of sudden, those people will get sick all at once.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2020 NPR.

Immigrants fighting deportation are having their cases postponed as some immigration courts are limiting dockets and others are closing. Refugee resettlement is temporarily suspended as well, according to the United Nations, because of the coronavirus pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They notified ICE and held him in a cell until two immigration agents arrived at the city jail, handcuffed him and drove him away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neither man had been convicted of any crimes, and both should have been protected under California’s sanctuary law, said lawyers representing them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The incidents are among at least a dozen formal complaints alleging police, sheriffs or jail officials violated Senate Bill 54. Attorneys with the ACLU and the Asian Law Caucus say there could be many more cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB54\">SB 54\u003c/a>, known as the California Values Act, limits local law enforcement’s cooperation with federal immigration authorities to cases of serious convicted criminals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than two years after SB 54 took effect, it remains controversial. This week, President Trump said the federal government will begin withholding law enforcement grants from sanctuary cities and states, after an appeals court in Manhattan ruled they have the authority to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, speaking before a sheriffs’ conference, U.S., Attorney General William Barr \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/speech/attorney-general-william-p-barr-delivers-remarks-national-sheriffs-association-winter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">announced\u003c/a> a “significant escalation” in the federal government’s efforts to crack down on localities refusing to assist immigration enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, the Values Act has faced opposition from some local governments and a failed repeal initiative. The law has significantly decreased deportations from the state and protected potentially thousands of immigrants, but local law enforcement agencies don’t always comply, say attorneys tracking its implementation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California residents who are supposed to be protected by the law are not being protected in some cases,” said Jessica Bansal, an attorney with the ACLU of Southern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Law enforcement officials say they are trying their best to follow the law, but that it’s complex and confusing.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Claim Alleges Laguna Beach Police Violated State Law\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Edgar Torres Gutierrez submitted a complaint in the fall of 2018. The college student has Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals that protects him from deportation. But Laguna Beach police unlawfully turned him over to ICE on June 3, 2018, according to the administrative claim he filed with Bansal’s help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Torres Gutierrez, now 29, had celebrated at the Pride Parade in Laguna Beach, where he lives, before he was arrested by a police officer on suspicion of DUI in the wee hours of the morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had a few drinks and I made a dumb mistake: I got in my vehicle and headed home,” said Torres Gutierrez, who attends Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa and has lived in the U.S. since age 3.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Torres Gutierrez, who had no criminal record at the time, was locked up at the Laguna Beach City Jail for about 15 hours. He expected to be released sooner, but ICE had filed a request for the jail to hold him, so immigration officials could arrest him there, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once two ICE agents arrived, they handcuffed him and drove him away in a van.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was scary. I was overwhelmed.

This week, President Trump said the federal government will begin withholding law enforcement grants from sanctuary cities and states, after an appeals court in Manhattan ruled they have the authority to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, speaking before a sheriffs’ conference, U.S., Attorney General William Barr \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/speech/attorney-general-william-p-barr-delivers-remarks-national-sheriffs-association-winter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">announced\u003c/a> a “significant escalation” in the federal government’s efforts to crack down on localities refusing to assist immigration enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, the Values Act has faced opposition from some local governments and a failed repeal initiative.

He expected to be released sooner, but ICE had filed a request for the jail to hold him, so immigration officials could arrest him there, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once two ICE agents arrived, they handcuffed him and drove him away in a van.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was scary. I was overwhelmed.

U.S. Attorney General William Barr \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/speech/attorney-general-william-p-barr-delivers-remarks-national-sheriffs-association-winter\">said\u003c/a> last month that public areas of courthouses must be accessible to federal law enforcement officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A California law that took effect this year, \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB668\">Assembly Bill 668\u003c/a>, which prohibits civil arrests in courthouses without a judicial warrant, which the agents did not have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California law explicitly forbids a civil enforcement agency like ICE from making a civil arrest without warrant outside of a courthouse,” Raju said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Trump administration argues that immigration agents have the authority to make courthouse arrests without judicial warrants. While ICE generally avoids immigration enforcement at “\u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/ero/enforcement/sensitive-loc\">sensitive locations\u003c/a>” such as schools, churches and hospitals, it does not treat courthouses that way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The undocumented Mexican national who was detained in San Francisco on Tuesday had three felony convictions for second-degree burglary from 2016, 2017 and 2019, according to ICE. The agency identified him as 43-year-old Alberto Uc Ponce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency said it arrested him near the courthouse because local law enforcement had refused to turn him over to ICE several times. The agency said local jurisdictions that don’t cooperate with ICE are likely to see an increase of arrests in the community, as agents are less able to detain immigrants at jails.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Jennings, field office director for ICE in San Francisco, blamed sanctuary policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Criminals like this individual are released to reoffend again and again,” said Jennings in a statement. “A simple phone call to ICE to arrange the secure transfer of such individuals would serve the hard-working residents of the city far more than a misguided sanctuary policy that, as proven here and numerous times in the past, goes to great lengths to protect criminals under the guise of protecting the citizenry.” \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Last summer, in the first Democratic presidential debate, former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro and former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke got into a heated exchange over whether to decriminalize unauthorized border crossings (Castro in favor, O’Rourke opposed).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The debate flared in the context of the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy, a widespread effort to crack down on illegal entry into the county by criminally prosecuting all migrants who didn’t present themselves at an official port of entry. The policy resulted in the separation of more than 5,500 migrant children from their parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under decriminalization, favored by Castro, unauthorized migrants would still be deported, but they wouldn’t have to first serve time in jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That June debate was a rare moment when immigration took center stage in the Democratic primary. In most debates since then, it has been an afterthought — despite the fact that President Trump is likely to make tough-on-immigration policies a centerpiece of his reelection campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"San Jose Rep. Zoe Lofgren\"]‘The immigration laws haven’t been seriously reformed for many decades and they’re not serving the country very well. So top-to-bottom reform is overdue and should be done.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, neither Castro nor O’Rourke remain in the running for the Democratic nomination. But as California voters prepare for the March 3 primary election, the issue of immigration could play an increasingly important role in helping to define the differences between the Democratic candidates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Californians rank immigration as one of the top four issues facing the state — after homelessness, the economy and housing costs — and half the state’s residents say they fear someone they know could be deported, according to a September \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/wp-content/uploads/ppic-statewide-survey-californians-and-their-government-september-2019.pdf\">poll\u003c/a> by the Public Policy Institute of California. The poll found that Californians also overwhelmingly believe immigrants are a benefit to the state rather than a burden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fact that California has \u003ca href=\"https://www.migrationpolicy.org/programs/data-hub/charts/immigrant-population-state-1990-present?width=1000&height=850&iframe=true\">far more immigrants\u003c/a> than any other state makes it a place where immigrants are familiar and integral to the fabric of most communities, scholars say. Indeed, more than one in four Californians were born in another country, and half of all children in the state have an immigrant parent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That makes immigration “a litmus issue” for voters here, according to USC sociology professor Manuel Pastor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re perceived to be anti-immigrant, you’re not in the running,” Pastor said. “That’s one reason Trump polls so weakly in the state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11801732\" label=\"Related Coverage\"]With a series of executive actions over the past three years, Trump has restricted the ability of low-income immigrants to get green cards, made it almost impossible for migrants at the southern border to apply for asylum, dramatically increased immigration detention, slashed refugee admissions, moved to end protections for Dreamers and tried to fund a wall along parts of the 2,000-mile border with Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, the president has frequently used language to denigrate immigrants, calling them “dangerous,” “criminals” and the source of an “invasion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of the Democratic presidential candidates, by contrast, describe immigrants as contributors to the richness and vitality of the United States, and honor the central role of immigration in U.S. history and the country’s future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose Rep. Zoe Lofgren, a Democrat who chairs the House Subcommittee on Immigration, said she expected a Democratic president to set a new tone that treats immigrants with dignity and would provide leadership on a comprehensive overhaul of U.S. immigration laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The immigration laws haven’t been seriously reformed for many decades and they’re not serving the country very well,” said Lofgren. “So top-to-bottom reform is overdue and should be done.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that could prove tough, even if Democrats win control of the U.S. Senate and retain the House, said UC Riverside political science professor Karthick Ramakrishnan. That’s because the Senate filibuster rule allows the minority party to block legislation unless there are 60 votes. Since Democrats are unlikely to win that many Senate seats, and Republicans are disinclined to support immigration reform, the next president would be limited to using executive authority, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"forum_2010101876034\" label=\"Related Coverage\"]“If a Democrat wins, you’ll see some attempts to restore DACA, roll back the rule on ‘public charge’ and the travel ban, and allow more refugees to come into the country,” said Ramakrishnan. “The past few years have shown there’s a lot the president can do to make life more difficult or less difficult for immigrants.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Democratic candidates agree on many aspects of immigration policy — and all would reverse many of Trump’s initiatives. But some consider the issue more of a priority than others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there are obvious differences between a progressive candidate like Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, whose immigration plan refers to the president as “a racist” and calls for abolishing the Department of Homeland Security, and a moderate like Michael Bloomberg, whose plan speaks about the need for national security and emphasizes that legalization for undocumented immigrants must be “earned” by paying taxes and passing background checks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure

Beto O’Rourke got into a heated exchange over whether to decriminalize unauthorized border crossings (Castro in favor, O’Rourke opposed).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The debate flared in the context of the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy, a widespread effort to crack down on illegal entry into the county by criminally prosecuting all migrants who didn’t present themselves at an official port of entry. The policy resulted in the separation of more than 5,500 migrant children from their parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under decriminalization, favored by Castro, unauthorized migrants would still be deported, but they wouldn’t have to first serve time in jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That June debate was a rare moment when immigration took center stage in the Democratic primary. In most debates since then, it has been an afterthought — despite the fact that President Trump is likely to make tough-on-immigration policies a centerpiece of his reelection campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But as California voters prepare for the March 3 primary election, the issue of immigration could play an increasingly important role in helping to define the differences between the Democratic candidates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Californians rank immigration as one of the top four issues facing the state — after homelessness, the economy and housing costs — and half the state’s residents say they fear someone they know could be deported, according to a September \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/wp-content/uploads/ppic-statewide-survey-californians-and-their-government-september-2019.pdf\">poll\u003c/a> by the Public Policy Institute of California. The poll found that Californians also overwhelmingly believe immigrants are a benefit to the state rather than a burden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fact that California has \u003ca href=\"https://www.migrationpolicy.org/programs/data-hub/charts/immigrant-population-state-1990-present?width=1000&height=850&iframe=true\">far more immigrants\u003c/a> than any other state makes it a place where immigrants are familiar and integral to the fabric of most communities, scholars say. Indeed, more than one in four Californians were born in another country, and half of all children in the state have an immigrant parent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That makes immigration “a litmus issue” for voters here, according to USC sociology professor Manuel Pastor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re perceived to be anti-immigrant, you’re not in the running,” Pastor said. “That’s one reason Trump polls so weakly in the state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Zoe Lofgren, a Democrat who chairs the House Subcommittee on Immigration, said she expected a Democratic president to set a new tone that treats immigrants with dignity and would provide leadership on a comprehensive overhaul of U.S. immigration laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The immigration laws haven’t been seriously reformed for many decades and they’re not serving the country very well,” said Lofgren. “So top-to-bottom reform is overdue and should be done.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that could prove tough, even if Democrats win control of the U.S. Senate and retain the House, said UC Riverside political science professor Karthick Ramakrishnan. That’s because the Senate filibuster rule allows the minority party to block legislation unless there are 60 votes. Since Democrats are unlikely to win that many Senate seats, and Republicans are disinclined to support immigration reform, the next president would be limited to using executive authority, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
