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>Advocates for migrant families who were forcibly separated by the Trump administration in 2017 and 2018 are embarking on a new effort to locate and reunite parents and children after the federal government revealed last month that it had separated \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11782685/new-tally-totals-over-5500-kids-taken-from-parents-at-the-border\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1,556 more children\u003c/a> than previously reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The search follows a painstaking process, begun in the summer of 2018 and still not complete, to reunify more than 2,800 families that the government initially identified, under orders from a federal judge in San Diego. Locating the new group could be harder, advocates say, because most of the parents have been deported to Central America and the children have been placed with U.S. foster families or other sponsors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We may be looking at a months- or years-long process,” said Lee Gelernt, a lawyer with the American Civil Liberties Union, which represents parents in a lawsuit challenging the government’s family separation policy. “But, as we told the court, we will not stop until we find every one of these families.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public outcry swelled after then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced in April of 2018 that children would be taken away from their parents as part of a “zero tolerance” policy to criminally prosecute all adults who cross the border without authorization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two months later, President Trump ordered an end to the practice, and on June 26, 2018, U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw issued \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/legal-document/ms-l-v-ice-order-granting-plaintiffs-motion-classwide-preliminary-injunction\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an injunction\u003c/a> barring border officials from taking kids from their parents, except in rare circumstances. Sabraw ordered the families reunified and the government identified 2,814 affected children. The ACLU then set up a “steering committee” of lawyers and advocates to track down the parents and reconnect them with their kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As that process was underway, the inspector general of the Department of Health and Human Services, the agency that took custody of the children, issued a report in January saying hundreds or thousands more separated kids might have passed through HHS shelters, as much as a year before the controversial practice came to light. Sabraw then ordered the government to review the records of 47,000 unaccompanied minors in HHS custody since July 1, 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"family-separation\" label=\"Related Coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Based on that review, government lawyers began providing the ACLU with lists of names of children who were indeed separated after July 1, 2017, but were no longer in government custody on June 26, 2018, when Sabraw issued his injunction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those lists, which the ACLU says total 1,556 children, have now been turned over to the plaintiffs’ steering committee, which has 120 lawyers working on the reunification effort. Each lawyer is responsible for tracking down a set of families. But contact information provided by the government may be out-of-date, wrong or incomplete, said Steven Herzog, with the law firm \u003ca href=\"https://www.paulweiss.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Paul, Weiss,\u003c/a> which is leading the endeavor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That information dates from when the parents first entered, which means that the information is often two years old,” Herzog said. “We are provided with phone numbers for less than 20% of the parents, but for a majority of the children’s sponsors, the adults with whom the child is currently living. Those numbers also are dated, and sometimes are incorrect or do not work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes a child’s sponsor can provide a working phone number for a parent, he said. Once the lawyers do make contact with parents, they often need hard-to-find translators who speak indigenous languages, including Mayan languages \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/ff140d3396e64a9ba83485ddeaa776be\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">like Mam and K’iche’,\u003c/a> which are spoken in parts of Guatemala.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even with scores of U.S. lawyers on the case, it can be difficult to reach parents. So Herzog and the steering committee have formed a partnership with a network of community-based organizations in Central America. Their outreach workers, known as defenders, are working on the ground to track down families who may have moved to evade the threats that pushed them to try migrating to the U.S. in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The work of the defender is to gain the confidence of maybe a neighbor, or a friend, a trusted teacher or a pastor, to get updated contact information and then a lead on where the parent may currently be,” explained Nan Schivone, legal director at \u003ca href=\"https://www.justiceinmotion.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Justice in Motion\u003c/a>, which helps search for families in Guatemala and Honduras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Nan Schivone, legal director at Justice in Motion\"]“The work of the defender is to gain the confidence of maybe a neighbor, or a friend, a trusted teacher or a pastor, to get updated contact information and then a lead on where the parent may currently be.”[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That process can be arduous, according to Schivone, who said her advocates have described spending 12 hours walking around villages in search of contact information for a single parent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next step, she said, is to build trust with traumatized families, who may not believe they will ever see their children again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It can be a real struggle to ensure that the families believe that there can still be a path forward where reunification is even an option,” said Schivone. “Our defenders are reporting that many deported parents are stuck in an emotional limbo, and it’s kind of hard for them to even process that they’ve been contacted and found.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the challenge, Schivone said she’s still hopeful that advocates in the U.S. and Central America will be able to find every parent separated from a child.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re very much in the thick of the very hard work, and so it’s hard to predict how long it will take,” Schivone said. “It is clear that the role that human rights defenders — who are members of the Justice in Motion network — are playing is really critical.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

But contact information provided by the government may be out-of-date, wrong or incomplete, said Steven Herzog, with the law firm \u003ca href=\"https://www.paulweiss.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Paul, Weiss,\u003c/a> which is leading the endeavor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That information dates from when the parents first entered, which means that the information is often two years old,” Herzog said. “We are provided with phone numbers for less than 20% of the parents, but for a majority of the children’s sponsors, the adults with whom the child is currently living. Those numbers also are dated, and sometimes are incorrect or do not work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes a child’s sponsor can provide a working phone number for a parent, he said. Once the lawyers do make contact with parents, they often need hard-to-find translators who speak indigenous languages, including Mayan languages \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/ff140d3396e64a9ba83485ddeaa776be\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">like Mam and K’iche’,\u003c/a> which are spoken in parts of Guatemala.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even with scores of U.S. lawyers on the case, it can be difficult to reach parents. So Herzog and the steering committee have formed a partnership with a network of community-based organizations in Central America. Their outreach workers, known as defenders, are working on the ground to track down families who may have moved to evade the threats that pushed them to try migrating to the U.S. in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The work of the defender is to gain the confidence of maybe a neighbor, or a friend, a trusted teacher or a pastor, to get updated contact information and then a lead on where the parent may currently be,” explained Nan Schivone, legal director at \u003ca href=\"https://www.justiceinmotion.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Justice in Motion\u003c/a>, which helps search for families in Guatemala and Honduras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It’s a light-filled, orderly space with silk scarves, wooden toys, and classical music – a sharp contrast from the crowded shelter across the street, which houses more than 150 people sharing four rooms. The idea is to give kids the space to play and have predictable, normal childhood experiences after the chaos of suddenly leaving home to escape violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Fictional Podcast ‘Moonface’ Shines Light on Korean American Queer Experience\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In the new fiction podcast 'Moonface,' writer and creator James Kim introduces us to Paul Moon. He’s a character much like himself: a young, gay, Korean American who grew up in Downey, California. Paul still hangs out with his friends from high school, still goes to the same dive bars he went to in college. He still lives at home with his mother, who doesn’t know he’s gay. But Moonface isn’t just Paul’s story. It’s a deeply layered journey of growing up, navigating relationships and identities – family, friends, dating, work – as a person of color and the child of immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Alums of Iranian Jewish School Reunite 40 Years Later\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>At a Los Angeles country club, signs for “Homecoming Queen,” “School Stud,” “High School Sweethearts,” and other high school superlatives cover a table. Just past it, a huge glittery sign reads “1977.” But this is not your typical high school reunion, because just as this class was graduating, their country was gripped by revolutionary riots. As teenagers, most of them left Iran as it became an Islamic republic.

It’s a light-filled, orderly space with silk scarves, wooden toys, and classical music – a sharp contrast from the crowded shelter across the street, which houses more than 150 people sharing four rooms. The idea is to give kids the space to play and have predictable, normal childhood experiences after the chaos of suddenly leaving home to escape violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Fictional Podcast ‘Moonface’ Shines Light on Korean American Queer Experience\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In the new fiction podcast 'Moonface,' writer and creator James Kim introduces us to Paul Moon. He’s a character much like himself: a young, gay, Korean American who grew up in Downey, California. Paul still hangs out with his friends from high school, still goes to the same dive bars he went to in college. He still lives at home with his mother, who doesn’t know he’s gay. But Moonface isn’t just Paul’s story. It’s a deeply layered journey of growing up, navigating relationships and identities – family, friends, dating, work – as a person of color and the child of immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Alums of Iranian Jewish School Reunite 40 Years Later\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>At a Los Angeles country club, signs for “Homecoming Queen,” “School Stud,” “High School Sweethearts,” and other high school superlatives cover a table. Just past it, a huge glittery sign reads “1977.” But this is not your typical high school reunion, because just as this class was graduating, their country was gripped by revolutionary riots. As teenagers, most of them left Iran as it became an Islamic republic. Reporter Asal Ehsanipour tells us that on this 40th anniversary of the Iranian revolution, this reunion takes them back to a time and place that feels like a world away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

This has been far worse than I think anybody could have anticipated,” Lee said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under court order, the federal government released a final list Thursday to the ACLU, naming 1,556 additional migrant parents whose children were \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11731845/judge-immigration-must-identify-thousands-more-migrant-kids-separated-from-parents\">taken away starting July 1, 2017\u003c/a>, but were no longer in government custody on June 26, 2018, when U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw issued an \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/legal-document/ms-l-v-ice-order-granting-plaintiffs-motion-classwide-preliminary-injunction\">injunction\u003c/a> ending most separations, and ordering families to be reunited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gelernt said this included more than 200 children under the age of 5 — including 71 babies and toddlers, ages 2 or younger — when border agents took them from their mothers or fathers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These we’ve just learned about … are not only very young children but they’ve been separated for possibly two or more years,” he said. “We are desperate to find these children and parents.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A committee of immigrant and child welfare advocates is working to find the parents, and has already made more than 4,000 phone calls to track down them down. Some committee members are in Central America attempting to locate parents in person. That effort is likely to ramp up now that the ACLU has a full list of names.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"immigration,migration\" label=\"Related Stories\"]“We think many if not most [of the children] are still without their parents,” said Gelernt. “We suspect, from what we’ve learned so far, that the majority of parents were deported without their children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This group of 1,556 is in addition to 2,814 separated children who were in federal custody at the time of Sabraw’s June 2018 injunction and were previously identified in the ACLU’s class action lawsuit, \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/cases/ms-l-v-ice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ms. L. v. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a result of the judge’s order, the majority of those children were reunited with their parents. However, more than 600 were released to other relatives or sponsors. Two dozen children still remain in government-run shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11775527/more-than-1000-families-have-been-separated-at-the-border-despite-court-order\">third group of children,\u003c/a> identified earlier this year, had been taken from their parents after Judge Sabraw blocked family separations. His injunction included a provision that allows Homeland Security officials to separate parents from their children if the parents are considered “unfit” or “a danger to child.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials say they do that only rarely. As of this week, Gelernt said they had removed 1,090 children from their parents for such reasons, and every month the government reports additional separations from “unfit” parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ACLU attorneys say the government has taken children from their parents based on minor criminal convictions and unsubstantiated allegations of wrongdoing. They have asked the judge to reassess the original injunction and provide tighter guidelines for when children can be taken away from parents with a criminal history. Sabraw is considering that motion, and has ordered both parties to return to court on Nov. 8.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Prosecutor Kelly Smith presented photos showing the man’s neck with red marks, which the witness said a family member took after one of the prayer massages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The massages often ended in the priest touching parishioners’ genitals, the witnesses testified. In some cases, they described a grazing that could have been accidental. In others, they said, Castañeda grabbed their penis or testicles through their underwear or attempted to masturbate them. Sometimes the priest claimed to have removed a black or yellow substance from their penis, the men said.
