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.",

"headTitle": "KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>The Supreme Court is allowing nationwide enforcement of a new Trump administration rule that prevents most Central American immigrants from seeking asylum in the United States.\u003cbr>\n[aside postID=\"news_11771386,news_11770057,news_11763296\" label=\"Trump Administration's Immigration Policy\"]\u003cbr>\nThe justices' order late Wednesday temporarily undoes a lower court ruling that had blocked the new asylum policy in some states along the southern border. The policy is meant to deny asylum to anyone who passes through another country on the way to the U.S. without seeking protection there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most people crossing the southern border are Central Americans fleeing violence and poverty. They are largely ineligible under the new rule, as are asylum-seekers from Africa, Asia and South America who arrive regularly at the southern border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shift reverses decades of U.S. policy. The administration has said that it wants to close the gap between an initial asylum screening that most people pass and a final decision on asylum that most people do not win.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"BIG United States Supreme Court WIN for the Border on Asylum!\" Trump tweeted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1171918282905018370?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor dissented from the high court's order. \"Once again, the Executive Branch has issued a rule that seeks to upend longstanding practices regarding refugees who seek shelter from persecution,\" Sotomayor wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legal challenge to the new policy has a brief but somewhat convoluted history. U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar in San Francisco blocked the new policy from taking effect in late July. A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals narrowed Tigar's order so that it applied only in Arizona and California, states that are within the 9th Circuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That left the administration free to enforce the policy on asylum seekers arriving in New Mexico and Texas. Tigar issued a new order on Monday that reimposed a nationwide hold on asylum policy. The 9th Circuit again narrowed his order on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The high court action allows the administration to impose the new policy everywhere while the court case against it continues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's unclear how quickly the policy will be rolled out and how exactly it fits in with the other efforts by the administration to restrict border crossings and tighten asylum rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, thousands of people are waiting on lists at border crossings in Mexico to claim asylum in the U.S. And acting U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan said Thursday that 45,000 people have been \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11758516/fear-confusion-and-separation-as-trump-administration-sends-migrants-back-to-mexico\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">turned back to Mexico\u003c/a> to wait out their asylum claims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asylum seekers must pass an initial screening called a \"credible fear\" interview, a hurdle that a vast majority clear.

U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar in San Francisco blocked the new policy from taking effect in late July. A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals narrowed Tigar's order so that it applied only in Arizona and California, states that are within the 9th Circuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That left the administration free to enforce the policy on asylum seekers arriving in New Mexico and Texas. Tigar issued a new order on Monday that reimposed a nationwide hold on asylum policy.

The organizations also claimed they’ll bear significant costs and workload from having to operate under a patchwork of asylum restrictions across the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. Justice Department attorney Scott Stewart argued that additional evidence submitted by plaintiffs failed to show that the third country rule must be halted nationwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They are essentially repackaging arguments they already made,” said Stewart. “We knew their operations were nationwide and the 9th Circuit still deemed the record insufficient.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stewart also argued that the appellate judges did not grant Tigar the authority to fully block the asylum restrictions once again. But Tigar seemed unconvinced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What would be the purpose of developing the record on a nationwide injunction if I didn’t have authority to issue one?” he asked Stewart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Lee Gelernt, ACLU attorney\"]‘The stakes in this case could not be higher.

McAleenan, announcing the third country rule on July 15.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under American law, people can request asylum when they arrive in the U.S. regardless of how they enter. The law makes an exception for those who have come through a country considered to be “safe,” pursuant to an agreement between the U.S. and that country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Canada and the U.S. have a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11761305/this-obscure-treaty-is-the-blueprint-for-trumps-new-asylum-rule\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">“safe third country” agreement\u003c/a>.

Many say they are fleeing extreme violence and that their governments fail to protect them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration rule includes exceptions for people who were denied protection claims elsewhere or were victims of human trafficking. But immigrant advocates argue that the policy shatters asylum protections established by Congress four decades ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The stakes in this case could not be higher,” said Lee Gelernt, an ACLU attorney representing the plaintiffs. “This rule we’re talking about effectively would end asylum at the southern border for everyone except Mexicans who don’t have to transit through a third country.

McAleenan, announcing the third country rule on July 15.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under American law, people can request asylum when they arrive in the U.S. regardless of how they enter. The law makes an exception for those who have come through a country considered to be “safe,” pursuant to an agreement between the U.S. and that country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Canada and the U.S. have a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11761305/this-obscure-treaty-is-the-blueprint-for-trumps-new-asylum-rule\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">“safe third country” agreement\u003c/a>. But the U.S. doesn’t have one with Mexico. The Trump administration announced an agreement this summer with Guatemala, but the country’s incoming president \u003ca href=\"https://time.com/5651664/guatemala-president-elect-us-migrant-deal/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said last month\u003c/a> that Guatemala would not be able to uphold the deal reached by his predecessor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration maintains that “loopholes” in current laws allow migrants to ask for asylum, whether or not they have legitimate claims, and then be released into the U.S. while their cases are decided by an immigration judge, which can take years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between 2017 and 2018, asylum applications increased by nearly 70%, according to government figures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The majority of migrants apprehended by U.S. authorities at the southern border are Central American families and children. Many say they are fleeing extreme violence and that their governments fail to protect them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration rule includes exceptions for people who were denied protection claims elsewhere or were victims of human trafficking. But immigrant advocates argue that the policy shatters asylum protections established by Congress four decades ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The stakes in this case could not be higher,” said Lee Gelernt, an ACLU attorney representing the plaintiffs. “This rule we’re talking about effectively would end asylum at the southern border for everyone except Mexicans who don’t have to transit through a third country. So we believe that it’s clearly unlawful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Her response: \"DOJ declines to comment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ed Chung used to work at DOJ's Civil Rights Division as a prosecutor; he's now at the Center for American Progress.

Gaubeca believes the agency is dragging its feet. She says the urgency for reform under Obama has transitioned into the Trump era of cheerleading for border security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And now that he's president of the United States,\" she says, \"then they feel emboldened to basically just do whatever they want to do.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's a pattern to these highly controversial border shootings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First comes the CBP statement, often followed by community outrage. Then the investigation gets under way. And finally, a deafening silence, as the years roll by and people move on and forget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics say we shouldn't let that happen. Not with Guillermo Arévalo. And not with the more recent case of Claudia Patricia Gomez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just last year, the 20-year-old Guatemalan was shot in the head by a Border Patrol agent on the outskirts of Laredo, Texas, not far from the river she had just crossed illegally. The first CBP press release called the young Maya woman an assailant who was with a group of immigrants wielding \"blunt objects\" and threatening the agent. A second statement corrected that she, in fact, did not wield a weapon, but the group she was with \"rushed\" the officer and ignored orders to get on the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her parents are suing the government for wrongful death. Sixteen months after her death, there's not a word from CBP.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Look, I don't think every agent is bad. There's only one person who did this,\" says her father, Gilberto Gomez, from his house in the Guatemalan highlands. \"We don't want impunity. We want justice.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A CBP spokesman says their investigation is on hold because the fatal shooting of Claudia Patricia Gomez remains at the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department.

A second statement corrected that she, in fact, did not wield a weapon, but the group she was with \"rushed\" the officer and ignored orders to get on the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her parents are suing the government for wrongful death. Sixteen months after her death, there's not a word from CBP.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Look, I don't think every agent is bad. There's only one person who did this,\" says her father, Gilberto Gomez, from his house in the Guatemalan highlands. \"We don't want impunity. We want justice.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A CBP spokesman says their investigation is on hold because the fatal shooting of Claudia Patricia Gomez remains at the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department. Just like the case of Guillermo Arévalo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2019 NPR.

Last year around the same time, about $200 million was transferred, including $10 million from \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/fde43d6be2a544fab637fdce8573e1db\">FEMA that prompted major criticism\u003c/a> from Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homeland Security officials said in a statement Tuesday they would transfer $155 million to create temporary facilities along the U.S.-Mexico border for holding hearings with the aim of moving asylum cases through the system faster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The government has sent more than 30,000 people back to Mexico to wait out their immigration cases in an effort to deter migrants from making a dangerous journey to the U.S. and ease the crush of families from Central America that has vastly strained the system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asylum seekers generally had been released into the U.S. and allowed to work, but many Trump administration officials claim migrants take advantage of the laws and stop showing up to court. Lawyers for migrants waiting in Mexico have reported major problems reaching clients and getting them to the U.S. for their hearings. And some of the locations in Mexico where migrants are sent are \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11770290/criminals-target-migrants-in-mexico-seeking-u-s-asylum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">violent and unsafe\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11770290,news_11730590,news_11726721,news_11758516\" label=\"The 'Remain in Mexico' Policy\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is where the U.S. is sending migrants who have asked for asylum after crossing the Rio Grande near Laredo, Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The money will come out of unobligated money from the base disaster relief fund at FEMA, lawmakers said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic House members strongly disagreed and accused DHS of going around their specific appropriations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The chairwoman of the House Appropriations homeland security subcommittee, Lucille Roybal-Allard of California, said the reprogramming would support \"inhumane\" programs and take away necessary funding for other agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I am greatly concerned that during the course of this administration, there has been a growing disconnect between the will of Congress ... and the implementation of the Department's immigration enforcement operations,\" she said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homeland Security officials will also transfer $116 million to fund detention bed space for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Congress allocated 45,000 beds for detention, but as of Aug. 24, ICE was detaining 54,344 people. Congress specifically did not authorize additional ICE funding for detention beds when it approved an emergency supplemental funding request of about $1.3 billion from Homeland Security to manage the huge increase in migrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Given the rise of single adults crossing the border, ICE has already had to increase the number of detention beds above what Congress funded,\" according to the DHS statement. Without the funding increase, ICE can't keep up with apprehensions by Border Patrol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This realignment of resources allows DHS to address ongoing border emergency crisis ... while minimizing the risk to overall DHS mission performance,\" according to the statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 860,000 people have been encountered at the Southern border this budget year, a decade-long high. Of that, 432,838 were in families — last year for the whole fiscal year there were only 107,212 in families. The increase has caused \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11760738/watch-lawmakers-hold-hearing-on-migrant-detention-conditions-pence-visits-border\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vast overcrowding in border facilities\u003c/a> and reports of fetid, filthy conditions and children held for weeks in temporary facilities not meant to hold anyone for longer than a few days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Tropical Storm Dorian approached the Caribbean and gathered strength, it threatened to turn into a small hurricane that forecasters said could affect the northern Windward Islands and Puerto Rico in upcoming days.
