In previous years, utility lines and other equipment sparked fires when winds were extreme.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom declared he “owned” the blackouts and would fight to keep them from happening again, putting himself squarely in the center of an issue that had prompted a public outcry. He also blasted the utilities for years of poor maintenance and a lax focus on safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Newsom has shown a willingness to really engage on a topic that wasn't of his choosing, and that's an important hallmark of a strong governor,\" said Michael Wara, a researcher on climate and energy policy at Stanford University who has worked with the state on energy and wildfire issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Assemblyman James Gallagher, a Republican whose district includes Paradise, said Newsom has done a good job of changing wildfire policy, fighting to compensate victims and holding PG&E accountable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The governor and I don't agree on a whole lot ... but I think that we have found actually a lot of agreement and mutual cooperation when it comes to wildfire policy,\" Gallagher said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gallagher even praised Newsom for \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11707107/the-federal-government-is-behind-you-trump-tours-camp-fire-devastation-with-brown-newsom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">working well with the Trump\u003c/a> administration to procure federal disaster resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think a lot of this stuff is show,” he said of Newsom's ongoing battles on Twitter and elsewhere with President Donald Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11791646,news_11791271,news_11784769\" label=\"Newsom's First Year\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regardless, Newsom's feuds with the Republican president attracted much attention. Perhaps the most consequential was the Trump administration's efforts to stop California from continuing to set its own auto emissions regulations. In response, Newsom teamed with four major automakers to go against Washington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When he wasn't battling with the president, Newsom was advancing policy at a frenetic pace. He began the year by placing \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11732471/gov-newsom-to-end-death-penalty-by-executive-order-political-fallout-likely\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a moratorium on executions\u003c/a> for the more than 730 people on California's death row, the largest in the Western Hemisphere.

That focus has persisted even though the far right – primarily violent white supremacists — has been the deadlier and more active threat in the United States for years, according to the FBI.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, with the decline of jihadist attacks and the rise of far-right violence, that \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/rise-of-far-right-violence-leads-some-to-call-for-realignment-of-post-911-national-security-priorities/2019/08/05/5a9b43da-b7ad-11e9-a091-6a96e67d9cce_story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">focus is shifting\u003c/a>. The past year brought a raft of new efforts to better understand and fight a resurgent far right, including from law enforcement and academics. The change is gradual, Selim emphasized, but the public and policy response is finally starting to catch up with the domestic threat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The number of congressional hearings on these topics in 2019 was significant, and an important metric of the seriousness of these threats at the national level,\" Selim said. \"And many members of Congress, both Democrats and Republicans, have used their public profiles to condemn these lethal forms of violent extremism, but more still needs to be done to appropriately resource these threats at the federal, state and local levels.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the responses to far-right violence in the past year:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Congressional committees held at least four hearings on hate crimes and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/04/10/711693266/house-hearing-on-white-nationalism-deteriorated-into-partisan-bickering\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">white nationalism\u003c/a>, calling on \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/wray-says-fbi-has-recorded-about-100-domestic-terrorism-arrests-in-fiscal-2019-and-most-investigations-involve-white-supremacy/2019/07/23/600d49a6-aca1-11e9-bc5c-e73b603e7f38_story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">counterterrorism officials\u003c/a> to treat far-right militants as seriously as they do jihadists.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Two U.S. senators, one Republican and one Democratic,\u003ca href=\"https://www.lawfareblog.com/proposed-bills-would-help-combat-domestic-terrorism\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> introduced bills \u003c/a>that would give federal authorities tools similar to those used to combat Islamist extremists.

The introduction to the document stated, \"As the threats evolve, we must do so as well.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The NYPD — the nation's biggest police department — opened a new intelligence unit called \u003ca href=\"https://newyork.cbslocal.com/2019/12/11/new-nypd-reme-unit-to-fight-extremism/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">REME\u003c/a>, for Racially and Ethnically Motivated Extremism. The announcement comes after New York City saw an uptick in bias-motivated attacks.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Academics across the United States who study the far right formed the Consortium on Hate and Political Extremism, saying they felt compelled to help teach the public about the evolving threat. It's modeled after Europe's Center for Research on Extremism, known as \u003ca href=\"https://www.sv.uio.no/c-rex/english/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">C-REX\u003c/a>.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Extremism monitors say some of the measures have been in the works for a while, but were accelerated by the pace and violence of incidents. In 2019, white supremacists staged several high-profile attacks around the world, from the mass killing in March of Muslim worshipers in \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/03/22/705595367/my-heart-was-broken-mourners-in-new-zealand-bury-victims-of-mosque-shootings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Christchurch, New Zealand\u003c/a>, to the massacre of Latino shoppers at a Walmart in \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/08/06/748565589/remembering-the-22-people-killed-in-attack-at-an-el-paso-shopping-center\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">El Paso, Texas\u003c/a>, in August.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump's response to those two attacks suggested that the White House, too, evolved over the year. After the New Zealand attack, Trump was asked if he thought white nationalism was a growing threat and \u003ca href=\"https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/salvadorhernandez/trump-white-nationalists-new-zealand-mosque-christchurch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">he replied,\u003c/a> \"I don't, really,\" and shrugged it off as \"a small group of people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But on the windowsill in the bedroom, there's a remnant of the fear he felt about being sent to a country where he'd never been: two plastic toy pistols with orange foam tips and bright pink suction-cup darts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He would sleep with these in his hands,\" says Samir Kada, another deportee from the U.S. who lives next door and looked out for him. \"He said, 'If anybody comes, I'm going to pull it on them. I swear to God.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aldaoud, 41, died Aug. 6, two weeks after\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/2228632/videos/10111835012432033/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> making a video\u003c/a> saying he was scared and sick, and begging to go back to the United States. His family and friends say he had diabetes and had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the apartment, next to the toy guns, there's an unused syringe for the insulin Aldaoud would forget to refrigerate and leave out in the heat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aldaoud's death caused an outcry in his Michigan community of Chaldean Christians, a minority that, along with other minorities, has faced discrimination and sometimes persecution and even targeted killings in Iraq. Human rights groups and members of Congress have called for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement\u003ca href=\"https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/2537/text\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> to delay deportations.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='immigration' label='Related Coverage.']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2017, the Trump administration ordered stepped-up deportations of Iraqis convicted of felonies who were in the U.S. legally but had not become citizens. U.S. and international law prevent deportation back to countries where deportees would be under threat. But ICE has continued to deport Iraqis to a country now wracked by anti-government protests and renewed violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the deportees hadn't seen Iraq since they were children, and some had never seen it at all. Most served time for felonies in U.S. prisons years ago, and those convictions have prevented them from becoming citizens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aldaoud was born in Greece to Iraqi refugee parents who came to the U.S. legally in 1979, when he was a baby. He spoke no Arabic and had never been to Iraq when ICE picked him up in Michigan as part of a sweep in 2017. He'd served time for convictions in a series of criminal charges over the course of two decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After almost two years in immigration detention, the 41-year-old Christian man was sent to Najaf, a Shiite holy city in southern Iraq.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"His family called me. They told me, 'Please go pick up Jimmy.' I mean, you know, he ain't got no papers. He ain't got no clothes — nothing, nothing — not even a penny,\" says Kada, another member of Michigan's Chaldean Christian community, deported in 2018. \"Anyways, he came, and he went into a depression.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kada and others who knew Aldaoud say he was afraid to leave the apartment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He talked to himself all day — 'God, please take me back home; please, God, I don't know nothing over here. I'm scared. I'm Christian. I'm this, I'm that.' He was walking over here naked, like, with no clothes. I told him, 'We can't do that over here.' Like, he was going crazy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kada, 39, says ICE deported Aldaoud with a month's worth of insulin and no other medication. Asked by NPR, ICE would say only that it deported him with an adequate supply of medication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aldaoud called Kada in early August, crying, saying he was on the floor and he couldn't breathe. An ambulance took Aldaoud to the hospital, which discharged him a few hours later. When an Iraqi friend checked on him later that same day, he found Aldaoud lifeless on the floor. The morgue listed Aldaoud's cause of death as heart failure.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\"I don't have anything to prove who I am\"\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Most of the deportees have no valid Iraqi identification documents. They are sent from the U.S. with no passport, only a one-way travel document known as a \u003cem>laissez passer,\u003c/em> issued by the Iraqi Embassy in Washington, D.C. With no way to prove who they are, they are subject to arrest at Iraqi checkpoints, can't rent apartments or even receive money via wire transfers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We can't speak Arabic,\" says Kada. \"We can't read and write. We can't do nothing. We can't go anywhere.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nashat Butris was deported in July with no money and no clothes. He says he stayed with Jimmy Aldaoud for a few days when he arrived. Now he has a bunk in a sparsely furnished room at a shelter run by a church in Baghdad. He has no relatives in Iraq and speaks only broken Arabic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Samir Kada']'We can't read and write. We can't do nothing. We can't go anywhere.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's just shocking. Everything is shocking to me,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Butris' deportation resulted from a conviction for cocaine possession years ago. The\u003cem> laissez passer\u003c/em> issued by the Iraqi Embassy includes a photo of him wearing an orange prison jumpsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This government here, they're not believing in this travel document,\" he says. \"I have no IDs and I'm not allowed to leave this compound because I don't have anything to prove who I am.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kada, who owned businesses in Michigan, is luckier than most. He has money — enough to pay for the Iraqi ID he says cost him $6,000, and which allows him greater freedom of movement than other deportees. But most, like Butris and Aldaoud, have little or nothing.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\"We don't want another Jimmy Aldaoud\"\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Over the past year, the Iraqi Embassy has issued travel documents for about 140 Iraqis due to be deported, according to a foreign ministry official in Baghdad who asked not to be identified in order to speak with NPR candidly. So far, about 60 of those 140 have been deported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Aldaoud's death, the embassy stopped issuing travel documents for those scheduled for deportation but known to have significant health problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We don't want another Jimmy Aldaoud,\" said the foreign ministry source.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the deportees agree to be sent to Iraq simply to avoid what ICE tells them could be years in immigration detention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Honestly, the pressure that the United States government put on me and what I had to endure, this was the only way to get physical freedom,\" explains Benjamin Rayes, 47, a machine tool autoworker in Michigan who was deported to Iraq in early December.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rayes served four years in a U.S. prison for insurance fraud. After his release from a halfway house two years ago, ICE arrested him and placed him in immigration detention before putting him on a plane to Baghdad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Benjamin Rayes']'Honestly, the pressure that the United States government put on me and what I had to endure, this was the only way to get physical freedom'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His life so far in Iraq is tightly constrained. The father of two girls, ages 7 and 10, Rayes says he was interrogated for hours when he landed in Baghdad without an Iraqi ID. His Chaldean Christian family is originally from the north of Iraq, but all of his relatives have emigrated. For now, he's staying with friends of friends in the south of Iraq. Without ID, he can't travel even within the country to apply for the documents he needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adding to the challenges facing deportees is the worsening violence since anti-government protests began raging in Baghdad and the southern provinces in October. Iranian-backed militias that are believed responsible for killing and abducting protesters blame \"U.S. agents\" for fomenting the protests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Already in danger of arrest and detention, Iraqis affiliated with the U.S. risk being accused of being U.S. spies. For many deportees, tattoos, American accents and lack of Arabic language skills make them easy targets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite intense pressure on Iraq to accept more deportees, Iraq refused until last year to issue travel documents for Iraqi citizens who refuse deportation. That policy changed with a new Iraqi government last year, according to another foreign ministry official, who asked not to be identified because he was not authorized to speak publicly.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\"They tell me I'm not welcome\"\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Almost two years after he was \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/11/26/662218863/they-know-i-m-different-deportee-struggles-in-iraq-after-decades-living-in-u-s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">deported\u003c/a>, Naser al-Shimary lives in fear in southern Iraq. He was beaten last year by a group of strangers, and his neighbors were too frightened to help him. Now he sleeps with a kitchen knife next to him for protection. At night, he padlocks himself into the house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People refer to me as 'the American,' \" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like Samir Kada and other deportees, Shimary has visible tattoos, uncommon in Iraq. He says mosques refuse to let him in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They tell me I'm not welcome because tattoos signify bad character,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He loves his pet dog, but that's caused trouble for him too. People in his neighborhood tell him dogs are religiously unclean and he fears she will be poisoned. \"She is all the friends and family I have here,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shimary, who used to play chess with Jimmy Aldaoud back in the U.S. while they were both in ICE detention, is a U.S.-certified mechanic. But he has struggled to find work in the south and is afraid to take a job in Baghdad or farther north, areas he thinks would be even more dangerous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in the U.S., he had an auto body shop. His partner and son, who recently turned 5, are still there. The two visited him in Baghdad last year, but Shimary believes it's too dangerous in Iraq for them to return. He's hoping to find a way to resettle in another country with his family. For now, he relies on video calls to his son — including one to wish him happy birthday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He was like, 'Papa, I saved you a piece of cake.

U.S. and international law prevent deportation back to countries where deportees would be under threat. But ICE has continued to deport Iraqis to a country now wracked by anti-government protests and renewed violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the deportees hadn't seen Iraq since they were children, and some had never seen it at all. Most served time for felonies in U.S. prisons years ago, and those convictions have prevented them from becoming citizens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aldaoud was born in Greece to Iraqi refugee parents who came to the U.S. legally in 1979, when he was a baby. He spoke no Arabic and had never been to Iraq when ICE picked him up in Michigan as part of a sweep in 2017. He'd served time for convictions in a series of criminal charges over the course of two decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After almost two years in immigration detention, the 41-year-old Christian man was sent to Najaf, a Shiite holy city in southern Iraq.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"His family called me. They told me, 'Please go pick up Jimmy.' I mean, you know, he ain't got no papers. He ain't got no clothes — nothing, nothing — not even a penny,\" says Kada, another member of Michigan's Chaldean Christian community, deported in 2018. \"Anyways, he came, and he went into a depression.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kada and others who knew Aldaoud say he was afraid to leave the apartment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He talked to himself all day — 'God, please take me back home; please, God, I don't know nothing over here. I'm scared. I'm Christian. I'm this, I'm that.' He was walking over here naked, like, with no clothes. I told him, 'We can't do that over here.' Like, he was going crazy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kada, 39, says ICE deported Aldaoud with a month's worth of insulin and no other medication. Asked by NPR, ICE would say only that it deported him with an adequate supply of medication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aldaoud called Kada in early August, crying, saying he was on the floor and he couldn't breathe. An ambulance took Aldaoud to the hospital, which discharged him a few hours later. When an Iraqi friend checked on him later that same day, he found Aldaoud lifeless on the floor. The morgue listed Aldaoud's cause of death as heart failure.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\"I don't have anything to prove who I am\"\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Most of the deportees have no valid Iraqi identification documents. They are sent from the U.S. with no passport, only a one-way travel document known as a \u003cem>laissez passer,\u003c/em> issued by the Iraqi Embassy in Washington, D.C. With no way to prove who they are, they are subject to arrest at Iraqi checkpoints, can't rent apartments or even receive money via wire transfers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We can't speak Arabic,\" says Kada. \"We can't read and write. We can't do nothing. We can't go anywhere.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nashat Butris was deported in July with no money and no clothes. He says he stayed with Jimmy Aldaoud for a few days when he arrived. Now he has a bunk in a sparsely furnished room at a shelter run by a church in Baghdad. He has no relatives in Iraq and speaks only broken Arabic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The father of two girls, ages 7 and 10, Rayes says he was interrogated for hours when he landed in Baghdad without an Iraqi ID. His Chaldean Christian family is originally from the north of Iraq, but all of his relatives have emigrated. For now, he's staying with friends of friends in the south of Iraq. Without ID, he can't travel even within the country to apply for the documents he needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adding to the challenges facing deportees is the worsening violence since anti-government protests began raging in Baghdad and the southern provinces in October. Iranian-backed militias that are believed responsible for killing and abducting protesters blame \"U.S. agents\" for fomenting the protests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Already in danger of arrest and detention, Iraqis affiliated with the U.S. risk being accused of being U.S. spies. For many deportees, tattoos, American accents and lack of Arabic language skills make them easy targets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite intense pressure on Iraq to accept more deportees, Iraq refused until last year to issue travel documents for Iraqi citizens who refuse deportation. That policy changed with a new Iraqi government last year, according to another foreign ministry official, who asked not to be identified because he was not authorized to speak publicly.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\"They tell me I'm not welcome\"\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Almost two years after he was \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/11/26/662218863/they-know-i-m-different-deportee-struggles-in-iraq-after-decades-living-in-u-s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">deported\u003c/a>, Naser al-Shimary lives in fear in southern Iraq.

People in his neighborhood tell him dogs are religiously unclean and he fears she will be poisoned. \"She is all the friends and family I have here,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shimary, who used to play chess with Jimmy Aldaoud back in the U.S. while they were both in ICE detention, is a U.S.-certified mechanic. But he has struggled to find work in the south and is afraid to take a job in Baghdad or farther north, areas he thinks would be even more dangerous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in the U.S., he had an auto body shop. His partner and son, who recently turned 5, are still there. The two visited him in Baghdad last year, but Shimary believes it's too dangerous in Iraq for them to return. He's hoping to find a way to resettle in another country with his family. For now, he relies on video calls to his son — including one to wish him happy birthday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He was like, 'Papa, I saved you a piece of cake. If you want it, you gotta come here and get it,' \" he says.
