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.",

Barbara Lee (D-Oakland) and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minnesota) announced a resolution to halt U.S. armed forces from hostilities against Iran without congressional approval. In a separate measure, Sen.

Tim Kaine\u003c/a>, would require any hostilities against Iran to be authorized by Congress through a declaration of war or authorization of military force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The assassination of any official of another country is against any kind of foreign policy that we should have as a country,” Lee told KQED on Monday. “[Soleimani] was not a good man. Everyone understands that. He has committed horrible, horrible crimes. That’s not the issue. This president did not come to Congress. He did not receive authorization, nor did he consult with Congress.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"iran\" label=\"Related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"https://www.speaker.gov/newsroom/1520-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a letter\u003c/a> to House Democrats on Sunday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the House will vote this week on Lee and Omar’s resolution, which would require military hostilities against Iran to end within 30 days if Congress does not grant approval.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are concerned that the Administration took this action without the consultation of Congress and without respect for Congress’s war powers granted to it by the Constitution,” Pelosi said in the letter. Still, the bill states it would not prevent the administration from defending itself from an imminent attack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In justifying the drone strike, President Trump, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and others cited evidence that Soleimani was planning an “imminent attack on Americans.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Lee said she’s skeptical of that evidence, and pushed for it to be made public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Pentagon said in their statement that this was to prevent further acts. If they’re talking about further acts, one has to assume that the ‘imminent’ threat is questionable,” Lee said. “And that’s why it’s important that we see the intelligence, and that they come to Congress and disclose and de-classify the information.

Omar called the killing of Soleimani a “violation of the Constitution.” The resolution highlights that only Congress has the Constitutional power to declare war, and aims to mandate a public debate and vote in Congress to authorize military action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For far too long, Congress has been missing in action on matters of war and peace,” said Lee in a statement. “Make no mistake: the assassination of Qasem Soleimani places us on the brink of war with Iran. Trump’s reckless military actions, without Congressional approval or authorization, have caused this crisis.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep.

Barbara Lee (D-Oakland) and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minnesota) announced a resolution to halt U.S. armed forces from hostilities against Iran without congressional approval. In a separate measure, Sen.

Those allegations, widespread as they were—dating back decades and including alleged incidents from \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-weinstein-lapd-20171102-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Los Angeles\u003c/a> to \u003ca href=\"https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-41760069\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">London\u003c/a>—helped ignite the \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/tags/570698249/-metoo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#MeToo movement\u003c/a> calling attention to sexual assault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it was the Manhattan district attorney, \u003ca href=\"https://www.manhattanda.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cyrus Vance\u003c/a>, who first made the move to charge Weinstein \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/05/25/614339339/harvey-weinstein-surrenders-to-authorities-on-sexual-assault-charges\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in 2018\u003c/a>, eventually slapping the disgraced Oscar winner with five counts of sex crimes—including rape and predatory sexual assault—principally relating to two alleged victims in New York City.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first incident involved Mimi Haleyi, a former production assistant at his old studio, the Weinstein Company. (That company is now dead—\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/03/19/595089301/the-weinstein-co-files-for-bankruptcy-cancels-non-disclosure-agreements\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">declared bankrupt\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/05/08/609476924/the-weinstein-co-gets-court-ok-to-sell-itself-to-lantern-capital-partners\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sold to\u003c/a> a private equity firm.) Haleyi says that in 2006, Weinstein invited her to his New York City home, where he pulled out her tampon and orally forced himself on her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No woman should have to be subjected to this type of unacceptable abuse,” she \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFX-wWVOyjc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">told reporters\u003c/a> in October 2017. “Women have the right to say no. A ‘no’ is a ‘no,’ regardless of the circumstances—and I told Harvey no.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The name of the alleged victim in the second incident, from 2013, has not been released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFX-wWVOyjc&feature=emb_logo\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another alleged attack, dating to the winter of 1993-1994, became something of a flashpoint in the pretrial wrangling: Actress \u003ca href=\"https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/weighing-the-costs-of-speaking-out-about-harvey-weinstein\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Annabella Sciorra\u003c/a> says Weinstein attacked her after a film industry dinner around that time. After the producer dropped her off at her apartment in Manhattan, Sciorra says that he reappeared at her door and pushed it open, overpowering and raping her once he had gotten inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The incident took place too long ago for prosecution under state law, but prosecutors pushed for Sciorra’s testimony to be included anyway over the objections of Weinstein’s legal team—and prosecutors \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/26/nyregion/harvey-weinstein-annabella-sciorra-trial-rape.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">got their way\u003c/a>. She will be allowed to take the witness stand to bolster the case that Weinstein committed \u003ca href=\"https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/PEN/130.95\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">predatory sexual assault\u003c/a>, which carries the longest possible sentence of his charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weinstein, for his part, has pleaded not guilty to the charges, maintaining that everything that he did with these women and others was consensual.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the case that heads to trial Monday is Weinstein’s first to include criminal charges, it is by no means the first case against the producer. Just last month, in fact, Weinstein and the board of his bankrupt film studio reached a tentative \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/12/11/787306873/harvey-weinstein-reaches-tentative-25-million-deal-to-settle-sex-claims\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$47 million deal \u003c/a>to settle their financial obligations—about $25 million of which would be earmarked for the accusers who filed lawsuits against him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The settlement, which is still subject to approval by a judge, did not include any formal admission of wrongdoing or personal payments from Weinstein.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for Weinstein’s criminal case in Manhattan, the producer has changed lawyers several times during his pretrial preparations. The first of his attorneys, Benjamin Brafman, staged an aggressive defense in the media. He warned that the #MeToo movement, while generally a positive development, also resulted in an unfair rush to judgment in Weinstein’s situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you have a #MeToo movement that pressures public officials to take certain action when perhaps it’s not warranted, then it gets to be very, very scary,” he told NPR \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/17/676803400/weinstein-seeks-dismissal-of-sexual-assault-case-in-possible-metoo-setback\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in late 2018\u003c/a>, while he was still representing Weinstein. “And I think that’s what happened here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brafman and Weinstein officially \u003ca href=\"https://deadline.com/2019/01/harvey-weinstein-laywer-leaves-benjamin-brafman-criminal-trial-1202534787/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">parted ways\u003c/a> about a month after speaking with NPR. Donna Rotunno, a former prosecutor who joined Weinstein’s legal team \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/jul/11/harvey-weinstein-trial-legal-team-donna-rotunno\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">last year\u003c/a>, has suggested she plans to pursue a similarly aggressive defense strategy, trying to prove that the women willingly took part in their contact with Weinstein.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can promise you there is a truth that you have not reported on; we’re here to uncover that truth,” Rotunno explained. “I think it’s going to be obvious that the relationships had with women in this case were quite consensual. We have a lot of documentation to back those things up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But first, before the opposing sides make their cases in court, a jury must be selected to hear those arguments—and that task won’t be easy in a case this well known.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The issue is not necessarily finding the needle in the haystack—you know, the one person who has never heard of the Weinstein case. The odds of finding such a person are slim to none,” said Nancy Gertner, a former federal judge and author of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.nancygertner.com/content/law-juries-6th-edition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">book on jury selection\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says that instead, each side likely will be scrutinizing every potential juror for any sign of prejudice, such as strong feelings about the #MeToo movement or Weinstein personally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In other words, within the pool of people who have heard about him, there are distinctions to be made,” Gertner added. “And that’s where you have to find a fair jury.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That process is expected to last about two weeks.

Those allegations, widespread as they were—dating back decades and including alleged incidents from \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-weinstein-lapd-20171102-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Los Angeles\u003c/a> to \u003ca href=\"https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-41760069\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">London\u003c/a>—helped ignite the \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/tags/570698249/-metoo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#MeToo movement\u003c/a> calling attention to sexual assault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it was the Manhattan district attorney, \u003ca href=\"https://www.manhattanda.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cyrus Vance\u003c/a>, who first made the move to charge Weinstein \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/05/25/614339339/harvey-weinstein-surrenders-to-authorities-on-sexual-assault-charges\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in 2018\u003c/a>, eventually slapping the disgraced Oscar winner with five counts of sex crimes—including rape and predatory sexual assault—principally relating to two alleged victims in New York City.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first incident involved Mimi Haleyi, a former production assistant at his old studio, the Weinstein Company. (That company is now dead—\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/03/19/595089301/the-weinstein-co-files-for-bankruptcy-cancels-non-disclosure-agreements\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">declared bankrupt\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/05/08/609476924/the-weinstein-co-gets-court-ok-to-sell-itself-to-lantern-capital-partners\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sold to\u003c/a> a private equity firm.)

After the producer dropped her off at her apartment in Manhattan, Sciorra says that he reappeared at her door and pushed it open, overpowering and raping her once he had gotten inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The incident took place too long ago for prosecution under state law, but prosecutors pushed for Sciorra’s testimony to be included anyway over the objections of Weinstein’s legal team—and prosecutors \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/26/nyregion/harvey-weinstein-annabella-sciorra-trial-rape.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">got their way\u003c/a>.

Just last month, in fact, Weinstein and the board of his bankrupt film studio reached a tentative \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/12/11/787306873/harvey-weinstein-reaches-tentative-25-million-deal-to-settle-sex-claims\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$47 million deal \u003c/a>to settle their financial obligations—about $25 million of which would be earmarked for the accusers who filed lawsuits against him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The settlement, which is still subject to approval by a judge, did not include any formal admission of wrongdoing or personal payments from Weinstein.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for Weinstein’s criminal case in Manhattan, the producer has changed lawyers several times during his pretrial preparations. The first of his attorneys, Benjamin Brafman, staged an aggressive defense in the media. He warned that the #MeToo movement, while generally a positive development, also resulted in an unfair rush to judgment in Weinstein’s situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you have a #MeToo movement that pressures public officials to take certain action when perhaps it’s not warranted, then it gets to be very, very scary,” he told NPR \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/17/676803400/weinstein-seeks-dismissal-of-sexual-assault-case-in-possible-metoo-setback\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in late 2018\u003c/a>, while he was still representing Weinstein. “And I think that’s what happened here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brafman and Weinstein officially \u003ca href=\"https://deadline.com/2019/01/harvey-weinstein-laywer-leaves-benjamin-brafman-criminal-trial-1202534787/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">parted ways\u003c/a> about a month after speaking with NPR.

Gen. Qassem Soleimani. The attack has heightened tensions between the two countries and raised concerns about the possibility of another U.S. war in the Middle East.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Demonstrators chanted \"The real road to peace! U.S. out of the Middle East!\" and \"What do we want? No more wars! When do we want it? Now!\" as they marched south on Market Street, from Powell to the United Nations Plaza.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some said they found President Trump's decision irrational. \"It was an action that came out of the blue,\" said San Franciscan Kate Taggart. \"I mean, sure, there have been tensions there for a while, but it doesn't seem to be based on any cognizant sort of strategy in the region.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Taggart awoke Friday morning and checked their phone, they found themself feeling \"distraught\" by the news. As a result, they wrote \"2003 was a mistake\" on a poster board and decided to attend the rally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taggart was upset about the 2003 decision to invade Iraq. \"It just really pisses me off that we're still having to protest against constantly going to war in the Middle East.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Saturday's rally had echoes of the past for others, too. Karen Cagan of Berkeley remembers marching down Market Street protesting against the Iraq War back in 2003, with hundreds of thousands in attendance. While she wished Saturday's rally had been bigger, Cagan believes the suddenness of the attack made it challenging to mobilize in the same way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11794078\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11794078\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Iran-Rally-2020-5-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Iran-Rally-2020-5-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Iran-Rally-2020-5-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Iran-Rally-2020-5-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Iran-Rally-2020-5-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Iran-Rally-2020-5.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Iran-Rally-2020-5-1832x1374.jpg 1832w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Iran-Rally-2020-5-1376x1032.jpg 1376w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Iran-Rally-2020-5-1044x783.jpg 1044w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Iran-Rally-2020-5-632x474.jpg 632w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Iran-Rally-2020-5-536x402.jpg 536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Karen Cagan attended the protest against the Iraq War back in 2003.

Gen. Qassem Soleimani. The attack has heightened tensions between the two countries and raised concerns about the possibility of another U.S. war in the Middle East.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Demonstrators chanted \"The real road to peace! U.S. out of the Middle East!\" and \"What do we want? No more wars! When do we want it? Now!\" as they marched south on Market Street, from Powell to the United Nations Plaza.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some said they found President Trump's decision irrational. \"It was an action that came out of the blue,\" said San Franciscan Kate Taggart. \"I mean, sure, there have been tensions there for a while, but it doesn't seem to be based on any cognizant sort of strategy in the region.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Taggart awoke Friday morning and checked their phone, they found themself feeling \"distraught\" by the news. As a result, they wrote \"2003 was a mistake\" on a poster board and decided to attend the rally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taggart was upset about the 2003 decision to invade Iraq. \"It just really pisses me off that we're still having to protest against constantly going to war in the Middle East.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Saturday's rally had echoes of the past for others, too. Karen Cagan of Berkeley remembers marching down Market Street protesting against the Iraq War back in 2003, with hundreds of thousands in attendance. While she wished Saturday's rally had been bigger, Cagan believes the suddenness of the attack made it challenging to mobilize in the same way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11794078\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11794078\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Iran-Rally-2020-5-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Iran-Rally-2020-5-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Iran-Rally-2020-5-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Iran-Rally-2020-5-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Iran-Rally-2020-5-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Iran-Rally-2020-5.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Iran-Rally-2020-5-1832x1374.jpg 1832w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Iran-Rally-2020-5-1376x1032.jpg 1376w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Iran-Rally-2020-5-1044x783.jpg 1044w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Iran-Rally-2020-5-632x474.jpg 632w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Iran-Rally-2020-5-536x402.jpg 536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Karen Cagan attended the protest against the Iraq War back in 2003.

Mo Brooks, a Republican from that state, which is arguing in court to get unauthorized immigrants excluded from census numbers used to determine the distribution of congressional seats among the states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both the bureau and the Department of Homeland Security’s office of public affairs have also not responded to NPR’s questions about when the new data-sharing agreement was signed and if any data have been transferred yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plans for DHS to share data with the bureau through this agreement have been in negotiations since early 2018, when the bureau officials began scrambling to respond to the Trump administration’s last-minute request to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Census Bureau officials have long advocated for the administration to rely on existing government records as a way to produce citizenship information that the bureau’s researchers say is more accurate and less expensive than collecting self-reported responses to a census question. In 2018, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, who oversees the Census Bureau, approved both adding the question to census forms and \u003ca href=\"https://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html?id=4500011-1-18-Cv-02921-Administrative-Record#document/p1328/a511872\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">directed the bureau to request records\u003c/a> from other agencies and state governments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the DHS document lays out a number of risks involved with sharing data with the bureau, including a concern that doing so is “not compatible with the original purpose” of DHS agencies collecting the information. It also flags the risk that the people whose information DHS is sharing with the Census Bureau may not want that to occur.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The document says, however, these risks “cannot be mitigated” and that Trump’s executive order requires DHS to comply with the bureau’s data requests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some privacy advocates have raised their own concerns about the potential misuse of data, especially at a time of increased immigration enforcement. Using the information to try to identify noncitizens “implicates fundamental due process rights and will impact both citizens and non-citizens,” wrote Marc Rotenberg, president of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.epic.org/privacy/census/EPIC-HCOGR-Census-July2019.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">July letter to leaders of the House Oversight and Reform Committee\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On top of those concerns, it’s not clear exactly how accurate the data produced using the existing records will be. The DHS document acknowledges it is “notoriously difficult” to use data to determine a person’s current immigration status because “individuals can have multiple immigration statuses through their lifetime.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because DHS is providing information at a point in time,” the document says, “it is reasonable to believe that eventually data accuracy issues may arise.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[ad fullwidth]\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2020 NPR.

In 2018, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, who oversees the Census Bureau, approved both adding the question to census forms and \u003ca href=\"https://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html?id=4500011-1-18-Cv-02921-Administrative-Record#document/p1328/a511872\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">directed the bureau to request records\u003c/a> from other agencies and state governments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the DHS document lays out a number of risks involved with sharing data with the bureau, including a concern that doing so is “not compatible with the original purpose” of DHS agencies collecting the information. It also flags the risk that the people whose information DHS is sharing with the Census Bureau may not want that to occur.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The document says, however, these risks “cannot be mitigated” and that Trump’s executive order requires DHS to comply with the bureau’s data requests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some privacy advocates have raised their own concerns about the potential misuse of data, especially at a time of increased immigration enforcement. Using the information to try to identify noncitizens “implicates fundamental due process rights and will impact both citizens and non-citizens,” wrote Marc Rotenberg, president of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.epic.org/privacy/census/EPIC-HCOGR-Census-July2019.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">July letter to leaders of the House Oversight and Reform Committee\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On top of those concerns, it’s not clear exactly how accurate the data produced using the existing records will be.
