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.",

It doesn’t stop new evictions from being filed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the extended time is only allowed if certain conditions apply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tenants must provide documentation proving they were unable to pay rent because they’ve contracted COVID-19 or were caring for someone who has, have lost wages due to the statewide shelter-in-place order or had to miss work to care for a child who is no longer in school or daycare. Evictions unrelated to COVID-19, such as owner-move-in under the Ellis Act or for any breach of the lease unrelated to rent payments, would still be allowed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jackie Zaneri, an attorney with the Oakland-based nonprofit Centro Legal de la Raza called the order “entirely useless” for tenants and tenant advocates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is going to mislead people,” Zaneri said. “People are going to think that they are protected when they are not.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She added, “No one is protected by this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if a tenant does provide the required documentation, they still have to go to court to prove they meet the conditions, said Silvana Naguib, a supervising staff attorney with the Los Angeles-based pro bono law firm, Public Counsel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Otherwise, how is the court going to determine you meet that criteria?” she said. “You have to show that you notified your landlord, that you provided documentation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the tenant doesn’t show up in court, the judge must issue a default order, which means the landlord can move forward with the eviction. When that happens, a notice is sent to the sheriff’s department, telling the sheriff to enforce the eviction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor’s order says sheriff’s departments shouldn’t evict anyone protected from the order, but again, Naguib says it places the burden on the sheriff to determine who meets the criteria for protection and who doesn’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Naguib says even if the tenant is able to repay the rent on April 15, for example, rather than April 1 when it was due, he or she can still be evicted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Any failure to timely pay rent is still grounds for an eviction” she said. “So nothing in this order prevents them from being evicted come June 1.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Coronavirus Coverage' tag='coronavirus']Jesse Melgar, a spokesman for Newsom's office, defended the governor's order, saying it would immediately provide relief to renters in cities and counties around the state where local leaders have not implemented their own moratoriums.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These protections provide a strong, statewide foundation that cities can build upon,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friday’s order won’t override \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11809099/a-guide-to-bay-area-eviction-moratoriums-during-the-coronavirus-crisis\">any measures that cities or counties have already enacted\u003c/a> or could enact in the future that offer tenants more protections from evictions. Since the coronavirus outbreak, some 30 jurisdictions have enacted moratoriums on evictions, including in Oakland, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sanjoseca.gov/your-government/departments-offices/housing/eviction-moratorium\">San Jose\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://sf.gov/sites/default/files/2020-03/032320_FifthSupplement.pdf\">San Francisco\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the moratoriums vary in what they cover and who is protected – creating a patchwork approach that tenants organizations had hoped to eliminate with a single, statewide policy. Other states, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.governor.wa.gov/sites/default/files/proclamations/20-19%20-%20COVID-19%20Moratorium%20on%20Evictions%20%28tmp%29.pdf\">Washington\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://governor.maryland.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Executive-Order-Temp-Evictions-Prohibiting.pdf\">Maryland\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.governor.ny.gov/sites/governor.ny.gov/files/atoms/files/EO_202.8.pdf\">New York\u003c/a>, have passed bans on residential evictions and foreclosures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/DavidChiu/status/1242899438206504960?s=20\">a coalition of 38 lawmakers sent a letter to Newsom\u003c/a> urging him to issue a prohibition on all evictions, unless the tenant poses a serious threat to health or safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, said Friday that the governor’s order fell short of their request, adding that it will likely lead to a wave of evictions immediately after the emergency ends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Millions of Californians are struggling during the greatest economic dislocation in nearly a century,” \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/Scott_Wiener/status/1243656043667656705?s=20\">Wiener said in a statement\u003c/a>. “They deserve a complete moratorium on evictions during this emergency, so that they can focus on health and health only.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kim Burrafato, 67, is a barista at the popular Caffe Trieste in San Francisco’s North Beach. He shares a $2,300-per-month apartment with three roommates but hasn’t been paid since the cafe closed on March 16. They were able to scrape together enough money to pay April's rent, but he's worried that if he doesn't go back to work soon, it may be a different story come May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He tried to file for unemployment, but the system crashed, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We knew it was coming, and it was very depressing,\" Burrafato said. \"I'm just holding on here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Since the coronavirus outbreak, some 30 jurisdictions have enacted moratoriums on evictions, including in Oakland, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sanjoseca.gov/your-government/departments-offices/housing/eviction-moratorium\">San Jose\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://sf.gov/sites/default/files/2020-03/032320_FifthSupplement.pdf\">San Francisco\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the moratoriums vary in what they cover and who is protected – creating a patchwork approach that tenants organizations had hoped to eliminate with a single, statewide policy.

"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. Dianne Feinstein\"]'Critical matters, such as bond hearings for adult detainees and emergency hearings for children, should be handled telephonically. 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",

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>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It includes an agreement by the utility to spend as much as $15 million over the next five years to provide water to county residents impacted by the fire’s destruction of a canal in the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we’re looking at is a modicum of justice to the community for what has happened — just the horribleness of what happened to our community,” Butte County District Attorney Mike Ramsey said Monday after the plea agreement was announced. The indictment in the case remains under seal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This community has been through a great deal,” Ramsey added. ” … And it is our sincere hope that this rather extraordinary indictment and the even more extraordinary agreement to plead to 84 counts of manslaughter will send a clear message that this shall not happen again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E said it accepts responsibility for the catastrophe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We cannot change the devastation or ever forget the loss of life that occurred,” PG&E CEO Bill Johnson said in a written statement. ” … Our hope is that this plea agreement, along with our rebuilding efforts, will help the community move forward from this tragic incident.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the thousands of people who lost their homes said Monday she believes the guilty plea lets PG&E off the hook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We lost nearly everything,” said Patti Savage, who now lives in Chico. “Our town. Our belongings. Some of us our lives. And they get a slap on the hand.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said she doubts the outcome will prevent future tragedies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This isn’t going to stop them,” Savage said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ramsey said his office spent the weekend reaching out to the families of deceased victims to tell them about the plea agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the final agreement includes 84, not 85, counts of involuntary manslaughter because there was “speculation” that one person died by suicide as the fire approached.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We could not show beyond a reasonable doubt that the death was a result of the fire,” Ramsey said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Camp Fire began before dawn the morning of Nov. 8, 2018, when a piece of hardware on a high-voltage transmission tower snapped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The failure of that hardware — a “C-hook” that investigators found was badly worn — allowed an electrified cable to swing against the steel transmission tower causing an arc that threw sparks into surrounding vegetation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whipped by high winds, the resulting fire burned out of control almost instantly and raced across hillsides and canyons into Paradise and the neighboring communities of Concow and Magalia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The firestorm trapped many of its victims — 50 of whom ranged between the ages of 70 and 96 — in their homes. Others died as they tried to drive away or run from the inferno.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E’s leading role in the tragedy came to light immediately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The day after the fire began, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11705306/pge-transmission-line-may-be-tied-to-disastrous-butte-county-fire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PG&E reported\u003c/a> it experienced a problem with the high-voltage line that sparked the blaze. Cal Fire investigators \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11747485/cal-fires-official-finding-pge-equipment-touched-off-camp-fire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ruled last May\u003c/a> that the utility’s equipment touched off the fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11789259/state-probe-says-pge-missed-deadly-flaw-on-line-that-sparked-camp-fire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">separate probe\u003c/a> by the California Public Utilities Commission found that for decades PG&E had overlooked critical maintenance problems on the transmission line that sparked the blaze.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Butte County District Attorney Ramsey said he was unable to charge any individual PG&E employees in the criminal case because the equipment that failed and triggered the fire was close to a century old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Over the past 50 years, scores of PG&E employees would have been in a position to observe the wear (on the C-hook), but none did,” he said. “So it would be impossible to prove any one person was negligent. Officers (of the company) are only liable if they personally participated in the act or personally authorized the crime.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Camp Fire came just 13 months after a series of devastating blazes sparked by the utility’s equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In October 2017, PG&E power lines \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11654027/my-world-was-burning-the-north-bay-fires-and-what-went-wrong\">sparked a series of fires\u003c/a> across counties in the North Bay and beyond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two months after the Camp Fire, in January 2019, PG&E filed for bankruptcy protection. The utility is striving to exit bankruptcy by June 30 and on Friday \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11807934/pge-reaches-bankruptcy-deal-with-gov-newsom\">announced a key agreement with Gov.

It includes an agreement by the utility to spend as much as $15 million over the next five years to provide water to county residents impacted by the fire’s destruction of a canal in the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we’re looking at is a modicum of justice to the community for what has happened — just the horribleness of what happened to our community,” Butte County District Attorney Mike Ramsey said Monday after the plea agreement was announced. The indictment in the case remains under seal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This community has been through a great deal,” Ramsey added. ” … And it is our sincere hope that this rather extraordinary indictment and the even more extraordinary agreement to plead to 84 counts of manslaughter will send a clear message that this shall not happen again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E said it accepts responsibility for the catastrophe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We cannot change the devastation or ever forget the loss of life that occurred,” PG&E CEO Bill Johnson said in a written statement. ” … Our hope is that this plea agreement, along with our rebuilding efforts, will help the community move forward from this tragic incident.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the thousands of people who lost their homes said Monday she believes the guilty plea lets PG&E off the hook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We lost nearly everything,” said Patti Savage, who now lives in Chico. “Our town. Our belongings. Some of us our lives. And they get a slap on the hand.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said she doubts the outcome will prevent future tragedies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This isn’t going to stop them,” Savage said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ramsey said his office spent the weekend reaching out to the families of deceased victims to tell them about the plea agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the final agreement includes 84, not 85, counts of involuntary manslaughter because there was “speculation” that one person died by suicide as the fire approached.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We could not show beyond a reasonable doubt that the death was a result of the fire,” Ramsey said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Camp Fire began before dawn the morning of Nov. 8, 2018, when a piece of hardware on a high-voltage transmission tower snapped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The failure of that hardware — a “C-hook” that investigators found was badly worn — allowed an electrified cable to swing against the steel transmission tower causing an arc that threw sparks into surrounding vegetation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whipped by high winds, the resulting fire burned out of control almost instantly and raced across hillsides and canyons into Paradise and the neighboring communities of Concow and Magalia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The firestorm trapped many of its victims — 50 of whom ranged between the ages of 70 and 96 — in their homes. Others died as they tried to drive away or run from the inferno.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E’s leading role in the tragedy came to light immediately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The day after the fire began, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11705306/pge-transmission-line-may-be-tied-to-disastrous-butte-county-fire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PG&E reported\u003c/a> it experienced a problem with the high-voltage line that sparked the blaze. Cal Fire investigators \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11747485/cal-fires-official-finding-pge-equipment-touched-off-camp-fire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ruled last May\u003c/a> that the utility’s equipment touched off the fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11789259/state-probe-says-pge-missed-deadly-flaw-on-line-that-sparked-camp-fire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">separate probe\u003c/a> by the California Public Utilities Commission found that for decades PG&E had overlooked critical maintenance problems on the transmission line that sparked the blaze.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Butte County District Attorney Ramsey said he was unable to charge any individual PG&E employees in the criminal case because the equipment that failed and triggered the fire was close to a century old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Over the past 50 years, scores of PG&E employees would have been in a position to observe the wear (on the C-hook), but none did,” he said. “So it would be impossible to prove any one person was negligent. Officers (of the company) are only liable if they personally participated in the act or personally authorized the crime.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Camp Fire came just 13 months after a series of devastating blazes sparked by the utility’s equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In October 2017, PG&E power lines \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11654027/my-world-was-burning-the-north-bay-fires-and-what-went-wrong\">sparked a series of fires\u003c/a> across counties in the North Bay and beyond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two months after the Camp Fire, in January 2019, PG&E filed for bankruptcy protection. The utility is striving to exit bankruptcy by June 30 and on Friday \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11807934/pge-reaches-bankruptcy-deal-with-gov-newsom\">announced a key agreement with Gov.

I can't, I can't cry.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/03/19/818322136/heres-what-is-in-the-families-first-coronavirus-aid-package-trump-approved\">Federal money\u003c/a> could make all the difference for people like D'agne, who are living without a safety net.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More local laws to protect people from homelessness could be on the way.

Inmate advocates are calling for the large-scale release of people who don’t pose a threat to public safety. From new arrests to early releases, the threat of COVID-19 is affecting every stage of the criminal justice system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local law enforcement said they are focusing primarily on high-priority calls for service, those that involve serious crimes in progress. Arrests are still being made, but at least some departments said they are leaning more heavily on their authority to cite and release people for lower-level offenses — rather than booking them — to limit the jail population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Dr. Juliana Morris, Do No Harm Coalition\"]'It’s really only a matter of time until the disease reaches Santa Rita Jail ...

But Sgt. Michael Low of the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office confirmed Thursday that an inmate at their Elmwood Correctional Facility died after an unknown illness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The medical examiner will be conducting additional testing to see if COVID-19 was a factor,” Low wrote in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By their nature, jails house a large number of people in a confined space, making preventive measures like social distancing difficult to implement. Inmate rights advocates, jail officials and public health officials are expressing concern about the possibility of the coronavirus spreading rapidly through incarcerated populations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alameda County Sheriff Gregory Ahern said Wednesday that the potential for an outbreak inside Santa Rita Jail is “a major concern.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contra Costa County Public Defender Robin Lipetzky said while it’s fortunate no jail cases of COVID-19 have been reported yet, “that is not surprising given that the population is not being tested. Given what we know medically about the spread of the coronavirus, we believe that many people are being needlessly exposed to the virus in custody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like public defenders in Alameda County and San Francisco, her office is calling for the release of all inmates who don’t pose a public safety risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are scrambling to get as many [clients] out as possible, but this is difficult with only one courtroom open for very limited purposes,” Lipetzky said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"More Coverage\" tag=\"coronavirus\"]While the early release process has been slow to get off the ground in Contra Costa County, according to Lipetzky, other counties appear to be taking the initiative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Angel said that his team in the Santa Clara County DA’s office has been working with the public defender and sheriff to bring the county’s current jail population down at least 10% to 20% from its prepandemic number of 3,300.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In just over 10 days, the county reduced its population to “just over 3,000,” Angel said. And on Friday, the county determined about 150 additional inmates who could be released, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Angel said Santa Clara County is targeting several distinct groups for early and/or supervised release: low-level offenders, people incarcerated largely because they can’t afford bail, people with pending sentences, “medically fragile” individuals as determined by the jail’s medical team and inmates with 90 days or fewer left on their sentences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This does not mean every member of the above groups has been, or will be, released, Angel said. For instance, if an inmate is deemed a public safety risk, or if they are severely mentally ill and unable to take care of themselves, they would not be released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Alameda County Sheriff's Office said in a Thursday tweet that 247 people were approved for early release and an additional 67 were released on their own recognizance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/ACSOSheriffs/status/1240698647207018499\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Activists called for larger steps to empty Santa Rita Jail, including ending new bookings at the jail and releasing more people, especially anyone who may be vulnerable to contracting COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really only a matter of time until the disease reaches Santa Rita Jail,” Dr. Juliana Morris of the Do No Harm Coalition said during a streamed press conference Thursday. “It’s a public health nightmare waiting to happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ahern said all inmates at Santa Rita Jail are being screened for symptoms, as well as deputies and any civilian staff in the jail. So far, no one in custody has presented coronavirus symptoms, he said. Two housing units have been emptied to be used to isolate any inmates who begin to show symptoms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re doing more than what’s necessary to take care of safety and health,” Ahern said, adding that the 4,500-person jail currently has more than 1,000 empty beds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11807638\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2947px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11807638\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/20200319_163203.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2947\" height=\"2210\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/20200319_163203.jpg 2947w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/20200319_163203-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/20200319_163203-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/20200319_163203-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/20200319_163203-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/20200319_163203-1832x1374.jpg 1832w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/20200319_163203-1376x1032.jpg 1376w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/20200319_163203-1044x783.jpg 1044w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/20200319_163203-632x474.jpg 632w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/20200319_163203-536x402.jpg 536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2947px) 100vw, 2947px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Notices posted at the San Francisco Sheriff's Intake and Release Center on Thursday say that jails are closed for visiting and that court processes have been largely suspended. \u003ccite>(Alex Emslie/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Public Defender Mano Raju, who is pushing for similar releases, said his jailed clients are scared just like the rest of us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But unlike a lot of us who are not incarcerated, they can't take those steps to create that social distance,\" Raju said. \"They can't wash their hands with soap whenever they want to.

On Tuesday, Heimov found herself explaining the closure to a confused parent. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They were all told to come to court, so they're showing up, some of them taking public transportation, some with their babies with them,” she said. “Not surprisingly [it’s] a lot of very distressed folks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Edmund D. Edelman Children's Courthouse in Los Angeles County's Monterey Park hears cases that relate to allegations of abuse or neglect of a child. Parents with a scheduled hearing check in at 8:30 a.m. Many show up early to wait throughout the day for their cases to be called. Some are there to regain custody of their children, and others are there to show their progress on a court-mandated plan before reunification can occur. Some parents might also learn at that courthouse that their parental rights have been terminated. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now the courthouse is closed due to concerns over the spread of the coronavirus, along with others across California, including in \u003ca href=\"https://www.saccourt.ca.gov/general/coronavirus.aspx\">Sacramento\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sanmateocourt.org/juvenileCovid19.pdf\">San Mateo\u003c/a> and other Bay Area counties. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Children get their own attorney in all dependency court proceedings primarily to ensure that the child’s welfare is paramount. Heimov worried that the precautionary court closures might have other harmful impacts to the children that she and her staff attorneys represent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we worry about is the child's emotional well-being,” Heimov said. “Are they scared? Is there something they need? Do they maybe have a medical condition that we don't know about and we need to make sure they get the proper medications?

On Tuesday, Heimov found herself explaining the closure to a confused parent. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They were all told to come to court, so they're showing up, some of them taking public transportation, some with their babies with them,” she said. “Not surprisingly [it’s] a lot of very distressed folks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Edmund D. Edelman Children's Courthouse in Los Angeles County's Monterey Park hears cases that relate to allegations of abuse or neglect of a child. Parents with a scheduled hearing check in at 8:30 a.m. Many show up early to wait throughout the day for their cases to be called. Some are there to regain custody of their children, and others are there to show their progress on a court-mandated plan before reunification can occur. Some parents might also learn at that courthouse that their parental rights have been terminated. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

This order applies to the six Bay Area counties of \u003ca href=\"http://www.acphd.org/2019-ncov.aspx\">Alameda\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.coronavirus.cchealth.org/\">Contra Costa\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://coronavirus.marinhhs.org/faqs?combine=&field_categories_target_id=16\">Marin\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://sf.gov/stay-home-except-essential-needs\">San Francisco\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.smcgov.org/shelter-place-faqs\">San Mateo\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.sccgov.org/sites/phd/DiseaseInformation/novel-coronavirus/Pages/frequently-asked-questions.aspx\">Santa Clara\u003c/a>, as well as the City of Berkeley, an independent public health jurisdiction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has been under \u003ca href=\"https://covid19.ca.gov/stay-home-except-for-essential-needs/\">shelter-in-place orders\u003c/a> since March 19, when Gov. Gavin Newsom directed all residents to stay at home and leave only for essential activities in an aggressive bid to slow the spread of COVID-19. The statewide order does not currently have an end date.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just days before the statewide order was issued, the same six Bay Area counties and the city of Berkeley were already leading the charge with regional shelter-in-place directives that rolled out March 16. They've also taken the lead in defining and clarifying what makes effective social distancing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.sccgov.org/sites/covid19/Pages/order-health-officer-050420.aspx\">latest order\u003c/a>, which takes effect May 4 in the six counties, acknowledges that progress has been made in slowing the spread of coronavirus and therefore eases some restrictions on \"a limited set of additional activities and ... a limited set of additional businesses associated with the lower risk of COVID-19 transmission.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Namely, businesses that are primarily conducted outdoors will be allowed to reopen and outdoor activities that don't involve shared equipment or physical contact can resume. The order also allows summer camps to operate, under certain conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/coronavirusliveupdates#news_11816079\">May 4, Newsom\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/coronavirusliveupdates#news_11816079\"> announced\u003c/a> that much of California's retail sector could resume business starting May 8, but with major modifications. The latest state order will allow for the reopening of scores of nonessential businesses — including clothing stores, bookstores, florists, as well as related manufacturing and supply chains — that are able to offer curbside pickup service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a very positive sign,\" Newsom said, who noted that the decision was based on encouraging statewide data trends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The upcoming order also gives individual counties greater leeway to open more services if they can demonstrate the capacity to do so safely, Newsom said. But counties can also choose to maintain current restrictions, as some in the Bay Area are likely to do.

Last week a group of two dozen, including the ACLU, sent a \u003ca href=\"https://thejusticecollaborative.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Letter-to-Governor-Newsom_CDCR_COVID_19-1.pdf\">letter\u003c/a> to California officials demanding that Gov. Gavin Newsom take extraordinary steps to protect the state’s roughly 123,000 prison inmates from the coronavirus — including the early release of some low-risk prisoners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The groups singled out those who are most vulnerable — the medically fragile and people over 60 — as well as those already scheduled for release in the coming weeks and months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
