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>A handful of adults at an Oakland community college practiced how to say “good afternoon” in Mam, a Mayan language spoken in the western highlands of Guatemala.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After teacher Henry Sales, a native Mam speaker, wrote “Qal te tiy” on a white board, students took turns repeating the words slowly after him: “Qaaaal te tiy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Learning even a few words in Mam has already helped Mirtha Ninayahuar break the ice with children at a Sunday preschool where she volunteers. Most of her students speak only Mam, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want them to hear me speak Mam so they see that I’m trying hard to learn a different language because that’s what they are doing,” said Ninayahuar, a retired utility worker. “And even the parents, too. If I greet them in Mam, they smile and I think they feel that I care more about them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland’s Mam population is estimated at several thousand and growing, as an exodus of Guatemalan migrants fleeing violence and crushing poverty continues to head north. They are joining relatives and friends — from San Juan Atitan, Todos Santos, Santiago Chimaltenango and other rural Guatemalan towns — and meeting on the streets of East Oakland, say several Mam residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a result, the number of students who speak the language in Oakland schools has skyrocketed. And some government agencies and nonprofit organizations have hired Mam speakers to better interact with the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Demand for Mam interpreters continues to grow, said Arturo Davila, a Spanish professor at Laney College who coordinates the Latinx Cultural Center where the Mam language class meets. Davila said the center gets requests for Mam interpreters and translators for legal aid and health clinics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As there are so many newcomers, they're having a great need to serve those people, and what they have found out is that they don't speak Spanish necessarily,” Davila said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11763381\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2048px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11763381\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38143_alt_876.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38143_alt_876.jpg 2048w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38143_alt_876-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38143_alt_876-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38143_alt_876-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38143_alt_876-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38143_alt_876-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38143_alt_876-1832x1374.jpg 1832w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38143_alt_876-1376x1032.jpg 1376w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38143_alt_876-1044x783.jpg 1044w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38143_alt_876-632x474.jpg 632w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38143_alt_876-536x402.jpg 536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tessa Scott (left), Gladiola Aguilar, Mirtha Ninayahuar and Arturo Davila take a Mam class in Oakland on April 13, 2019. \u003ccite>(Farida Jhabvala Romero/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The language lessons at Laney aim to help bridge communication gaps with Mam newcomers who sometimes are not fluent in English or Spanish.

Many were displaced by the Guatemalan army’s counterinsurgency operations that killed hundreds of thousands of civilians and destroyed highlands villages, according to Susanne Jonas, a retired lecturer at UC Santa Cruz who co-wrote the book “Guatemala-U.S. Migration: Transforming Regions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Long-term Oakland resident Francisco Pablo Matias, a Mam interpreter and outreach worker at the nonprofit Street Level Health Project, remembers soldiers streaming into his town of Todos Santos when he was a young man.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Soldiers came to kill us, to beat us, to kick us out,” said Matias in Spanish, adding that the violence was coupled with deep-seated discrimination against indigenous people in Guatemala. “The government there doesn’t defend us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He left the potato fields he worked at in Todos Santos in 1984 and made his way to the Bay Area, where he heard from friends who had escaped Guatemala’s civil war. They told Matias that there was a greater chance of fixing their immigration status here compared to other parts of the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My countrymen here were already winning political asylum,” said Matias, whose friends in Oakland referred him to an attorney that helped him win his asylum claim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11763388\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11763388\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38144_IMG_0977-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38144_IMG_0977-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38144_IMG_0977-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38144_IMG_0977-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38144_IMG_0977-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38144_IMG_0977-qut-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38144_IMG_0977-qut-1832x1374.jpg 1832w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38144_IMG_0977-qut-1376x1032.jpg 1376w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38144_IMG_0977-qut-1044x783.jpg 1044w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38144_IMG_0977-qut-632x474.jpg 632w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38144_IMG_0977-qut-536x402.jpg 536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Francisco Pablo Matias, a Mam outreach worker for Street Level Health Project, attends a meeting at the organization's headquarters in Oakland's Fruitvale neighborhood on May 21, 2019. \u003ccite>(Farida Jhabvala Romero/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In Oakland’s Fruitvale neighborhood, Mam families with young children are often seen walking along International Boulevard wearing traditional, hand-woven Mayan skirts and blouses, which can now be purchased at stores in the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While newcomers struggle with steep housing costs and navigating through work and city services, Sales said in some ways Mam people are finding Oakland more accepting of their indigenous culture than their home country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He learned more about the history of Mam people in Guatemala while attending high school in Oakland, he said.

Most of her students speak only Mam, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want them to hear me speak Mam so they see that I’m trying hard to learn a different language because that’s what they are doing,” said Ninayahuar, a retired utility worker. “And even the parents, too. If I greet them in Mam, they smile and I think they feel that I care more about them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland’s Mam population is estimated at several thousand and growing, as an exodus of Guatemalan migrants fleeing violence and crushing poverty continues to head north. They are joining relatives and friends — from San Juan Atitan, Todos Santos, Santiago Chimaltenango and other rural Guatemalan towns — and meeting on the streets of East Oakland, say several Mam residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

State regulators ordered the company last Friday to “take all steps” to stop the flows and said Chevron hasn’t done enough to prevent future leaks.

Leaks have started and stopped since May from a well site roughly 35 miles west of Bakersfield, including one that appeared just this week. State regulators ordered the company last Friday to “take all steps” to stop the flows and said Chevron hasn’t done enough to prevent future leaks. The California Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources in May issued a violation to Chevron for the spill and ordered it to halt some of its oil extraction work in the affected area. State inspectors say the leak is now contained and claim it poses no threat to waterways or wildlife.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Guest:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Ted Goldberg, morning news editor, KQED\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The lawmakers recently traveled with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus at the beginning of the month to the border to examine the conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do have a crisis at our border, it is one of morality,” Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., said. “As we have seen this current strategy unfold, intentional and cruelly created by the Trump administration, dead set on sending a hate-filled message that those seeking refuge are not welcome in America, in our America.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the lawmakers testified on July 12, Vice President Mike Pence and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., led a Republican congressional delegation to a Border Patrol facility in McAllen. The visit delivered dramatic images of more than 300 detained men, some wearing disposable face masks, standing in cramped quarters behind chain-link fences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For [Second Lady] Karen [Pence] and me, it was frankly heartbreaking, as parents, to talk to young children who told us of having walked two to three months up the Peninsula to cross into our country,” Pence said after the visit to a detention facility. “That has to change.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/jdawsey1/status/1149817289069486081\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, a bipartisan group of House members, led by Reps.

The Department of Homeland Security's Office of the Inspector General has repeatedly criticized the company for cutting corners on its investigations, conducting improper interviews, and producing \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/assets/2018-06/OIG-18-67-Jun18.pdf\">inaccurate reports\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one instance, the government watchdog said \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/assets/Mga/2018/oig-18-86-sep18.pdf\">ICE failed to take seriously the problem of braided bed sheets\u003c/a> hanging in detainee cells. It said similar braided sheets had been used as a noose in one suicide and in several other attempts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For many critics, Nakamoto's failures cited in the government reports help explain why unsanitary, harsh conditions at the detention centers persist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/07/02/738179391/dhs-inspector-general-finds-dangerous-overcrowding-in-border-patrol-facilities\">Public scrutiny of detention \u003c/a>facilities continues to increase. Meanwhile, the population of those detained at ICE's facilities last month reached an \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/detention-management\">all-time high of 54,000\u003c/a>. At the same time, there are persistent questions from the inspector general about whether ICE is properly overseeing the contractors that run a majority of the agency's facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/06/30/736940431/under-siege-and-largely-secret-businesses-that-serve-immigration-detention\">ICE relies heavily on private industry\u003c/a> in nearly every aspect of its operation. Outside contractors GEO Group and CoreCivic operate most of ICE's adult detention centers. For the last eight years, Nakamoto has been charged with conducting annual inspections of ICE detention centers, including those run by GEO and CoreCivic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's really not an exaggeration to say that there is basically no meaningful accountability or oversight for the companies who are involved,\" says Heidi Altman, director of policy at the National Immigrant Justice Center, an immigrant rights group. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DHS inspector general not only \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/assets/2018-06/OIG-18-67-Jun18.pdf\">criticized Nakamoto's work\u003c/a>, it also faulted ICE for not properly overseeing Nakamoto. \"ICE does not adequately hold detention facility contractors accountable for not meeting performance standards,\" the inspector general wrote in its \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/assets/2019-02/OIG-19-18-Jan19.pdf\">latest report in January\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The result, critics say, is that detainees are subject to everything from solitary confinement to negligent medical care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kidd, the 24-year-old former Adelanto detainee, says he filed grievances about his experiences. (Kidd married in December; prior to that his last name was Sorto.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kidd's Honduran mother brought him to the U.S. when he was 9. He was supposed to be protected from deportation under DACA, or the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, but ICE agents arrested him outside his apartment because of a DUI charge that was later expunged from his record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kidd says the treatment at Adelanto was inhumane. One day, during an evacuation, he says a guard screamed obscenities, calling him and his fellow detainees names.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I mean, that's when I kind of lost it,\" Kidd says. \"I just said, 'You cannot call me that, you cannot treat us like animals, because we're not.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For this, Kidd says he was briefly taken to a solitary confinement room called \"Bravo.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In Bravo, there was nobody watching in there,\" Kidd says. \"You'd see people come out of there with bruises. I saw them come out of there with bruises.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kidd filed grievances under ICE procedures with GEO Group, which ran the facility. He says GEO promised to interview his fellow detainees about the mistreatment, but never did. He says GEO dismissed his complaint. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='news_11736531,news_11728992' label='Coverage of Immigration Detention From KQED']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE did not respond to requests seeking comment about Kidd's claims. GEO referred questions regarding the case to ICE.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kidd's attorney, Sabrina Damast, says such treatment and conditions should have alarmed inspectors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Nakamoto inspectors reported no problems at Adelanto in 2017 and \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/doclib/facilityInspections/adelantoEastCa_CL_10_11_2018.pdf\">2018\u003c/a>. For the last eight years, the company has held the contract to inspect conditions at more than 100 ICE facilities, including Adelanto. (Nakamoto inspections from previous years have not been made public.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last time ICE's own Office of Detention Oversight reviewed Adelanto was \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/doclib/foia/odo-compliance-inspections/2014AdelantoJuly.pdf\">in 2014\u003c/a>. 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. (Earlier this year, NPR sued the City of Adelanto seeking access to documents regarding conditions at that facility.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE declined an interview. But its spokeswoman Danielle Bennett says the agency \u003cem>has \u003c/em>improved since the inspector general's reports. In an emailed statement, Bennett said senior ICE officials now accompany Nakamoto investigators during their reviews. ICE, she notes, has multiple layers of oversight, including local staff stationed in each facility. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='immigration-detention' label='Related Coverage']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bennett says the agency is also holding contractors accountable. 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 Department of Homeland Security's Office of the Inspector General has repeatedly criticized the company for cutting corners on its investigations, conducting improper interviews, and producing \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/assets/2018-06/OIG-18-67-Jun18.pdf\">inaccurate reports\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one instance, the government watchdog said \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/assets/Mga/2018/oig-18-86-sep18.pdf\">ICE failed to take seriously the problem of braided bed sheets\u003c/a> hanging in detainee cells. It said similar braided sheets had been used as a noose in one suicide and in several other attempts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For many critics, Nakamoto's failures cited in the government reports help explain why unsanitary, harsh conditions at the detention centers persist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/07/02/738179391/dhs-inspector-general-finds-dangerous-overcrowding-in-border-patrol-facilities\">Public scrutiny of detention \u003c/a>facilities continues to increase. Meanwhile, the population of those detained at ICE's facilities last month reached an \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/detention-management\">all-time high of 54,000\u003c/a>. At the same time, there are persistent questions from the inspector general about whether ICE is properly overseeing the contractors that run a majority of the agency's facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/06/30/736940431/under-siege-and-largely-secret-businesses-that-serve-immigration-detention\">ICE relies heavily on private industry\u003c/a> in nearly every aspect of its operation. Outside contractors GEO Group and CoreCivic operate most of ICE's adult detention centers. For the last eight years, Nakamoto has been charged with conducting annual inspections of ICE detention centers, including those run by GEO and CoreCivic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's really not an exaggeration to say that there is basically no meaningful accountability or oversight for the companies who are involved,\" says Heidi Altman, director of policy at the National Immigrant Justice Center, an immigrant rights group. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DHS inspector general not only \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/assets/2018-06/OIG-18-67-Jun18.pdf\">criticized Nakamoto's work\u003c/a>, it also faulted ICE for not properly overseeing Nakamoto. \"ICE does not adequately hold detention facility contractors accountable for not meeting performance standards,\" the inspector general wrote in its \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/assets/2019-02/OIG-19-18-Jan19.pdf\">latest report in January\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The result, critics say, is that detainees are subject to everything from solitary confinement to negligent medical care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

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>The House of Representatives escalated their confrontation with the executive branch Wednesday by holding two Trump administration officials in criminal contempt for not providing complete copies of subpoenaed documents related to the 2020 census.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The resolution named Attorney General William Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross for failing to cooperate with a congressional oversight investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"More on the Census citizenship question\" tag=\"citizenship-question\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a deeply divided House, Wednesday’s criminal contempt measure passed on a mostly party line vote of 230-198. The House’s lone independent, Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan, backed the measure. Four Democrats broke with their party and opposed it. The rebuke of Trump cabinet officials comes just a day after the House \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/07/16/742236610/condemnation-of-president-delayed-by-debate-can-lawmakers-call-trump-tweets-raci\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">passed another resolution\u003c/a> condemning the president himself for racist tweets over the weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The move marks the second time a sitting attorney general has been found in criminal contempt by the House. The first time was back in 2012, when the House voted to hold then-Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt over his failure to turn over documents for the department’s Fast and Furious probe. A group of 17 Democrats joined with what was then a Republican majority to secure that outcome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a sign of how long these actions can take, the House and Justice Department engaged in a legal battle that took seven years to resolve – and without resulting in any criminal penalty for Holder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly before the vote, Barr and Ross sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi urging her to postpone the House action, arguing their departments had made efforts to cooperate with the committee. They also said some of the materials requested were withheld because of the president’s decision to assert executive privilege.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By this action, the House is both unnecessarily undermining inter-branch comity and degrading the constitutional separation of powers and its own integrity,” they wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wednesday’s vote was largely a symbolic gesture: It’s unlikely that the Department of Justice would move to prosecute the attorney general.

The House’s lone independent, Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan, backed the measure. Four Democrats broke with their party and opposed it. The rebuke of Trump cabinet officials comes just a day after the House \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/07/16/742236610/condemnation-of-president-delayed-by-debate-can-lawmakers-call-trump-tweets-raci\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">passed another resolution\u003c/a> condemning the president himself for racist tweets over the weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The move marks the second time a sitting attorney general has been found in criminal contempt by the House. The first time was back in 2012, when the House voted to hold then-Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt over his failure to turn over documents for the department’s Fast and Furious probe. A group of 17 Democrats joined with what was then a Republican majority to secure that outcome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a sign of how long these actions can take, the House and Justice Department engaged in a legal battle that took seven years to resolve – and without resulting in any criminal penalty for Holder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly before the vote, Barr and Ross sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi urging her to postpone the House action, arguing their departments had made efforts to cooperate with the committee. They also said some of the materials requested were withheld because of the president’s decision to assert executive privilege.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By this action, the House is both unnecessarily undermining inter-branch comity and degrading the constitutional separation of powers and its own integrity,” they wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wednesday’s vote was largely a symbolic gesture: It’s unlikely that the Department of Justice would move to prosecute the attorney general. The House had previously threatened to pursue a vote on civil contempt against Barr, but \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/06/11/730670974/watch-live-house-votes-on-contempt-resolution-authorizing-lawsuits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">backed off\u003c/a> after the Justice Department made some concessions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the symbolism represents a substantial escalation: These would be the first criminal contempt citations passed since Democrats took control of the House in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ross dismissed the vote as “just more political theater,” and noted that his department had handed over thousands of pages of documents over to the committee already.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are not stonewalling.

"content": "\u003cp>The House of Representatives approved a resolution Tuesday evening condemning the president for a series of racist tweets about four Democratic lawmakers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vote was mostly along party lines, as the House split 240-187, with four Republicans supporting the non-binding measure. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi\"]‘Every single member of this institution, Democratic and Republican, should join us in condemning the president’s racist tweets. To do anything less would be a shocking rejection of our values.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican Reps. Fred Upton of Michigan, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Susan Brooks of Indiana and Will Hurd of Texas joined with Democrats to rebuke the president, as did Michigan Rep. Justin Amash, who recently left the GOP to become an independent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House was paralyzed for a substantial portion of the afternoon over legislative procedure. Republicans sought a ruling on the question: does calling the president’s tweets “racist” violate the rules of decorum established in the House? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So an already heated debate turned to farce as the House voted on whether to sanction House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for characterizing the president’s remarks as “racist,” as part of a debate on \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11761692/read-heres-the-resolution-condemning-trumps-racist-comments-about-congresswomen\">a resolution which also calls the president’s remarks “racist.”\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At issue was the phrasing of Pelosi as she spoke in favor of the resolution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every single member of this institution, Democratic and Republican, should join us in condemning the president’s racist tweets,” she said. “To do anything less would be a shocking rejection of our values and a shameful abdication of our oath of office to protect the American people.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>GOP Rep. Doug Collins, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, objected to the language, calling them “unparliamentary” and called for her comments to be “taken down” — officially removed from the record. When that happens, the lawmaker is no longer allowed to speak on the House floor for the remainder of the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Watch a video of Pelosi’s remarks — the exchange with GOP Rep. Collins begins at about the 6:20 mark:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/vsAt6N7eqwA?t=376\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House rules prohibit impugning the motives of a person during legislative debate. There is no explicit rule which states that lawmakers cannot call comments “racist,” but there is precedent for declaring these sorts of characterizations out of bounds. The rules and precedents are outlined in Jefferson’s Manual, which lays out parliamentary procedures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As House staff and lawmakers huddled to sort out what to do and expected a decision, the presiding chair of the House, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, D-Mo., unexpectedly dropped his gavel and declared that he was “abandoning the chair.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDNGTWPobu4\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Majority Leader Steny Hoyer later delivered the ruling that Pelosi’s words were not in order, but Democrats defeated a vote to strike them from the official congressional record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both the attempted sanctioning of the speaker of the House and Cleaver’s decision to walk off the floor and leave the House without a presiding officer are highly unusual developments in the House. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bay Area Congressman Eric Swalwell used his time on the House floor to list a series of comments President Donald Trump has made, and then called them “racist.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Birtherism is racist. Saying a Mexican judge can’t be fair because of his heritage is racist. Saying immigrants from Mexico are rapists is racist,” Swalwell said. “Saying there were good people on both sides in Charlottesville is racist. Calling African countries ‘shithole countries’ is racist.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Collins again quickly objected to Swalwell’s comments, asking them to be taken down as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zu0HbwZFWIc&\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html?id=6200155-House-Resolution-Condemning-Trump-Comments\">resolution the House was considering\u003c/a> states that the House “strongly condemns President Donald Trump’s racist comments that have legitimized and increased fear and hatred of new Americans and people of color.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president’s weekend comments about four female members of Congress has done what Trump’s remarks so often do: take control the agenda in Washington, D.C. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the weekend began, lawmakers expected that this week would be focused primarily on issues like a proposal to raise the minimum wage, a budget deal and a vote holding the attorney general in contempt over the 2020 census. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1150381395078000643\">president’s tweets\u003c/a> upended the whole order. His tweets, in which he implored four women of color to “go back” to the countries of their ancestry, dominated the conversation in the capital — with Democrats condemning it, and Republicans being asked to defend or denounce it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The statements targeted four freshman progressive lawmakers: Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts. All but Omar were born in the United States. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Coverage\" tag=\"racism\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to the president’s comments, Ocasio-Cortez \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1150746839790039040\">responded \u003c/a>that telling people of color to go back to their countries of origin reflects the “hallmark language of white supremacists.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ahead of the debate on the House floor Democrats were warned to watch their language. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a meeting with his Democratic colleagues Tuesday morning, Rules Committee Chairman Jim McGovern, D-Mass., reminded lawmakers about the House rules say they cannot impugn the personal motives of the president. Pelosi suggested to the caucus that they could use phrasing like his “words were racist,” noting that such nuance allows them to make their point and stick within the rules. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While some Republicans in the House and Senate have \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/07/15/741771445/trump-continues-twitter-assault-on-4-minority-congresswomen\">criticized \u003c/a>the president’s comments, GOP leadership in the House of Representatives stood with the president. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked if the president’s tweets were racist, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said on Tuesday that they weren’t. He added that he planned to vote against the Democratic resolution, dismissing it as “it’s all politics.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney declining to address the president’s comments directly, instead focusing on attacking the left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our opposition to our colleague’s beliefs has absolutely nothing to do with race, or gender or religion,” she told reporters. “We oppose them and their policies because their policies are dangerous and wrong and would destroy America.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.
