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.",

That same money, he testified, resulted in a reduction in the “in-custody population of children from a high of 2,700 to about 350 at the end of the day yesterday.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He credited Trump administration policies for leading to a 28% reduction in border crossings last month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats pushed back against what oversight committee chairman Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., called McAleenan’s attempts to “sugarcoat” conditions for detained migrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11761605\" label=\"Related Coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bay Area congresswoman Jackie Speier, D-Hillsborough, held up pictures of men and children at DHS facilities \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11761605/rep-speier-describes-subhuman-conditions-following-visit-to-migrant-detention-facilities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">she said she visited\u003c/a>, saying, “This would not be allowed as a kennel for dogs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s unacceptable and it has to change,” Speier said, regarding a cell she saw in which 40 men were crammed into one that normally accommodates five. “We don’t treat human beings like that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But McAleenan said Congress specifically excluded funding for more beds at facilities run by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, exacerbating the overcrowded conditions there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cummings said, “When I see the pictures and I hear the testimony. … I am at a point where I begin to wonder whether there is an empathy deficit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But McAleenan insisted, “We are taking care of these children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bay Area congressman Ro Khanna, D-Fremont, questioned McAleenan about the Trump administration’s decision to implement the zero tolerance policy that resulted in massive separation of children from their families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Are you proud of how this whole situation has happened or do you have some regrets?” Khanna asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This program, we lost the public trust,” McAleenan said. “I think the president was right to end it. And if I could go back and redo it, I would.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/07/02/738179391/dhs-inspector-general-finds-dangerous-overcrowding-in-border-patrol-facilities\">released a report on July 2\u003c/a> warning of “dangerous overcrowding” at CBP facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are concerned that overcrowding and prolonged detention represent an immediate risk to the health and safety of DHS agents and officers, and to those detained,” investigators wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On another issue, McAleenan said an investigation is underway into \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/07/02/737930088/lawmakers-respond-to-vile-secret-facebook-group-created-by-border-patrol-agents\">a private Facebook group of CBP agents\u003c/a>, some of whom reportedly posted racist and anti-immigrant statements.

That same money, he testified, resulted in a reduction in the “in-custody population of children from a high of 2,700 to about 350 at the end of the day yesterday.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He credited Trump administration policies for leading to a 28% reduction in border crossings last month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats pushed back against what oversight committee chairman Rep.

For the last eight years, the company has held the contract to inspect conditions at more than 100 ICE facilities, including Adelanto.

That year, ICE's internal review found the facility already fell short in six areas, including how it addressed sexual assault, its handling of detainee grievances and its food service.

But its spokeswoman Danielle Bennett says the agency \u003cem>has \u003c/em>improved since the inspector general's reports.

Between December 2018 and March 2019, she says, financial penalties against the contractors totaled $500,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But one former senior ICE official told NPR the changes Bennett points out are minor. The bigger problem is ICE has no incentive to acknowledge problems. One of ICE's \u003ca href=\"https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/19_0318_MGMT_CBJ-Annual-Performance-Review-DHS-Overview_0.pdf\">performance goals\u003c/a> is for all of its detention centers to pass inspection — and the former official, who requested anonymity to protect future employment prospects, says Nakamoto is well aware of the pressures to meet that target.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nakamoto is a private firm based outside Washington, D.C. Its Japanese American owner, Jennifer Nakamoto, frequently credits her family's experience in World War II internment camps with shaping her company's mission. The company's inspections contract with ICE started in 2011. According to USAspending, the federal government's contracting database, the potential value of Nakamoto's contract was $116 million last fiscal year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Claudia Valenzuela is an attorney with the American Immigration Council, an immigrant advocacy group. She's filed lawsuits seeking information about ICE and its contractors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think there should be more public scrutiny of Nakamoto,\" Valenzuela says. \"How did it obtain the contract? How does this company continue to hold that contract?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Nakamoto says it stands by its performance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an email, Nakamoto Vice President Mark Saunders said, \"we have made it abundantly clear that we are in no way political, and we have no agenda other than to do our work.\" He declined an interview, saying the company has already addressed negative allegations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last fall, Sen. Elizabeth Warren and other Democrats asked Nakamoto \u003ca href=\"https://www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/2018-11-16%20Letter%20to%20Nakamoto%20Group%20re%20ICE%20Detention%20Facility%20Inspections.pdf\">to respond to problems\u003c/a> raised in the inspector general's reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Attachment%203a%20-%20Response%20Letter%20from%20Nakamoto%20Group.pdf\">In her response\u003c/a>, Jennifer Nakamoto quoted from her own company's report, calling the watchdog investigators inexperienced and their findings an \"embarrassment\" to their office. She disputes many of the facts in the reports. She wrote about her mother's birth in an internment camp, saying she and her family have battled prejudice all their lives. \"Without question,\" she wrote, \"the detained immigrant population as a whole has a better life because of what Nakamoto does.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That response has not mollified critics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brian Cohen, Warren's oversight and investigations director, says neither Nakamoto nor ICE has shown interest in making changes. He says ICE has also not responded to follow up inquiries sent \u003ca href=\"https://www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/2019-04-15%20Letter%20to%20ICE%20re%20Private%20Immigration%20Contractors%20CoreCivic%20GEO%20Group%20and%20Nakamoto%20Group.pdf\">in April\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/2019.06.20%20Letter%20to%20ICE%20regarding%20the%20use%20of%20solitary%20confinement%20at%20immigration%20detention%20facilities.pdf\">June\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we concluded from all this mess is that still, nobody's taken responsibility,\" Cohen says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nakamoto's contract with ICE is set to expire in September.

The bigger problem is ICE has no incentive to acknowledge problems. One of ICE's \u003ca href=\"https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/19_0318_MGMT_CBJ-Annual-Performance-Review-DHS-Overview_0.pdf\">performance goals\u003c/a> is for all of its detention centers to pass inspection — and the former official, who requested anonymity to protect future employment prospects, says Nakamoto is well aware of the pressures to meet that target.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nakamoto is a private firm based outside Washington, D.C. Its Japanese American owner, Jennifer Nakamoto, frequently credits her family's experience in World War II internment camps with shaping her company's mission. The company's inspections contract with ICE started in 2011. According to USAspending, the federal government's contracting database, the potential value of Nakamoto's contract was $116 million last fiscal year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Claudia Valenzuela is an attorney with the American Immigration Council, an immigrant advocacy group.

She disputes many of the facts in the reports. She wrote about her mother's birth in an internment camp, saying she and her family have battled prejudice all their lives. \"Without question,\" she wrote, \"the detained immigrant population as a whole has a better life because of what Nakamoto does.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That response has not mollified critics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brian Cohen, Warren's oversight and investigations director, says neither Nakamoto nor ICE has shown interest in making changes.

"content": "\u003cp>Four immigrant advocacy groups based in California sued the Trump administration on Tuesday in federal court in San Francisco to block a new rule barring migrants from pursuing asylum if they traveled through another country — on their way to the U.S. — without seeking protections there first.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorneys with the American Civil Liberties Union, which represents the groups, argued that what’s known as the third-country rule was “arbitrary and capricious,” and violated U.S. immigration law because protections “cannot be categorically denied based on an asylum-seeker's route to the United States.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='small' align='right' citation='Tony, an asylum-seeker from Cameroon']'You can’t say that refugees should apply for asylum in Mexico.

I mean, these are men who have been apprehended, have been there as much as 60 days in very small, cramped cells that normally house, I'd say, five to 10 people. And now there were 40 men. They were taking turns lying on the concrete floor to rest. But they had been there for 40 days without a shower and without a toothbrush to brush their teeth. And I must say that I found it so subhuman, and as I looked at them I realized that if we had dogs kenneled in those cells, the American Humane Society would shut it down instantly because it is so repugnant of everything we believe in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/RepSpeier/status/1150767820558479360\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/RepSpeier/status/1150769502612787201\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim\u003c/strong>: Vice President Mike Pence also went to McAllen, Texas, and visited a Border Patrol station there. He told reporters he couldn't be more proud of the agents at the facility and that every American should be proud and that he wasn't surprised by what he was seeing, that it was tough stuff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Speier\u003c/strong>: Well, it is tough stuff. But I can't imagine any American looking at the photos that I've posted thinking that they're proud of what we are doing to these people. It is reprehensible. Meanwhile, we're spending $24 billion a year on these services now for immigration enforcement. It is 34% more than all the money we're spending on services like the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Agency, the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agency, the Secret Service and the U.S. Marshals Service. So most of these people could be sent with ankle bracelets to their family members somewhere in the United States waiting for their asylum hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/RepSpeier/status/1150122304497733637\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/RepSpeier/status/1150127768413331467\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/RepSpeier/status/1150807279920451584\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim\u003c/strong>: Is that how we fix this? Is that the solution to these overcrowded conditions?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Speier\u003c/strong>: Well, we have to fix it by creating an environment where people aren't treated like animals. We have to then expedite the process by which their asylum hearings are being held. There's an 800,000 case backlog right now [and] we don't have sufficient immigration judges. And even though we have passed emergency supplemental funds for immigration enforcement, one of the guards told me that it will take eight months before the first new additional member will be hired because of the time it takes to process those who come forward and apply for these jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/RepSpeier/status/1150516189824737285\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/RepSpeier/status/1150486503765811200\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Meanwhile, we're spending $24 billion a year on these services now for immigration enforcement. It is 34% more than all the money we're spending on services like the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Agency, the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agency, the Secret Service and the U.S. Marshals Service.

Gelernt is deputy director of the Immigrants’ Rights Project at the American Civil Liberties Union, which on Tuesday \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11761508/can-trump-turn-away-most-asylum-seekers-to-the-u-s-courts-likely-to-weigh-in-on-new-policy\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">sued\u003c/a> the administration over the new rule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In November, Gelernt successfully persuaded \u003ca href=\"https://www.cand.uscourts.gov/jst\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar\u003c/a> to halt another Trump administration policy aimed at blocking migrants from seeking asylum if they entered the U.S. from Mexico in between official border crossings. Department of Justice attorneys argued that allowing that policy would help the administration’s ongoing attempts to broker a safe third-party country agreement with Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='asylum-seekers' label='Related Coverage']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gelernt says that even if the administration had managed to broker safe third country agreements with Mexico or Guatemala, the ACLU could challenge them on the grounds that, for asylum-seekers, those nations are not safe like Canada.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you have an agreement with another country, you can require people to apply for asylum in those countries if and only if that country can provide a safe, effective and meaningful asylum hearing,” Gelernt said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike Canada, Mexico and Guatemala lack the legal infrastructure to provide protections to asylum-seekers looking for a safe haven, scholars say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Guatemala’s legal infrastructure is weak, to say the least. Mexico has offered very limited legal protections for Central Americans,” said Dean Kevin Johnson of the UC Davis School of Law. “That makes it very different from the safe third country agreement with Canada.

That’s due to a loophole in the agreement, which allows asylum-seekers to start the process anew in a second country by crossing between ports of entry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s exactly what started happening en masse shortly after the Trump administration’s travel ban was announced in January 2017.
