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.",

But the Justice Department concluded that based on the evidence that's available, prosecutors \"did not and could not make out a criminal campaign finance violation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the law, a \"thing of value\" under discussion has to be in some way quantifiable, and the Justice Department couldn't find that here, officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even so, the official account of the phone conversation confirms the kernel of the story that has brought Washington to a fever pitch over an impeachment inquiry into Trump: The American president asked the Ukrainian president for help with political ammunition against his potential 2020 election rival.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I would like you to do us a favor,\" Trump asked President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, according to the official account released on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Continued Trump, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/764052120\">according to the memo\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Coverage\" tag=\"impeachment\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation in Ukraine ... There's a lot of talk about Biden's son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that. So whatever you can do with the attorney general would be great. Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it ... it sounds horrible to me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zelenskiy told Trump that he would appoint the next top prosecutor who might be responsible for prosecuting corruption and that \"he or she will look into the situation, specifically to the company that you mentioned in this issue.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump then told the Ukrainian president that he would have Giuliani and Barr make contact with him and that \"we will get to the bottom of it. I'm sure you will figure it out.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump, on his visit to the United Nations on Wednesday, scoffed that the Ukraine affair is a \"witch hunt\" and that Democrats are worried about being defeated in the 2020 election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump pointed to what he called the successes of his first term, saying, \"We've got the strongest economy we've ever had.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Flow of Assistance Was Cut Off\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The president's July conversation followed moves by the White House to stanch the flow of military assistance for Ukraine that Washington had been providing since the armed incursion by Russian forces in 2014. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zelenskiy raised the military assistance in the call with Trump, according to the White House account. He thanked the American president and said \"specifically we are almost ready to buy more Javelins from the United States for defense purposes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's a reference to the American guided anti-tank missile Javelin, \u003ca href=\"https://www.raytheon.com/capabilities/products/javelin\">built by Raytheon\u003c/a> and Lockheed Martin. The U.S. \u003ca href=\"https://www.rferl.org/a/javelin-missile-delivery-ukraine-us-confirmed/29200588.html\">began delivering them to Ukraine's military\u003c/a> in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump responded to Zelenskiy with his request for a \"favor,\" mentioning the cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike and a \"server\" — likely an allusion to the cyberattack against the Democratic National Committee in 2016. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president also alluded to the testimony of former Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller, who had appeared in Congress the day before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zelenskiy and other Ukrainian officials were \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/22/world/europe/ukraine-trump-military-aid.html?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter_axiosam&stream=top\">blindsided\u003c/a>\" by the interruption in American assistance, according to \u003cem>The New York Times.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other agencies in Washington were not briefed about any reason for the pause in the assistance, nor was Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. After the matter came to the attention of \u003ca href=\"https://www.voanews.com/usa/us-politics/lawmaker-congress-would-restore-ukraine-military-aid\">more members of Congress\u003c/a>, the assistance was restored earlier this month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[documentcloud url=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6429117-Trump-Ukraine-Transcript\" responsive=true text=false]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Worries Inside the Spy World\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The whistleblower within the intelligence community brought the matter to the attention of its official watchdog, raising the prospect that Trump's conversation might have violated U.S. law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The inspector general concluded that it rose to the level of an \"urgent concern\" because the intelligence community is responsible for safeguarding elections. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then the matter was referred to the Justice Department, officials said, which reached its conclusion about the paucity of evidence that a campaign finance law had been broken.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justice Department officials also say Barr, the attorney general, learned about the conversation several weeks after it took place but has not spoken about it with Trump and was never asked by Trump to contact anyone in Ukraine. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DOJ officials said Barr has not spoken about the Ukraine affair with Giuliani, either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Giuliani, meanwhile, has acknowledged that he has been closely involved with talks with Ukrainians about launching or reviving some kind of investigation into Hunter Biden's time doing in business in Ukraine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former Vice President Biden said Tuesday that neither he nor his son have done anything wrong and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/09/24/763841029/biden-to-call-for-trumps-impeachment-unless-he-complies-with-congress-requests\">he decried what he called the smears and conspiracy theories\u003c/a> that were being propounded by the White House. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump is guilty of abusing his office, Biden said, and if he continues what Biden called his \"stonewalling\" of Congress, the former vice president said he'd support impeachment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Democrats say they've agreed to initiate a new phase of their impeachment inquiry, although it isn't clear how soon that might result in new action in the Congress or against Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Backstory\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The dispute over the whistleblower's complaint began when House intelligence committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., learned that it had been filed but not what it contained. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schiff and other members of Congress argued the administration had no right under the law to withhold the matter from the committees of oversight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Notwithstanding the intelligence community watchdog's conclusion that the complaint was an \"urgent concern,\" the Justice Department opined that the complaint didn't arise \"in connection with intelligence activity,\" DOJ officials said on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is the standard under the law that governs the relationship with Congress, the officials said, and that is why the Justice Department took the position that the administration did not have to give the document to lawmakers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schiff's complaints about the administration's positions started a snowball that resulted in growing attention to the whistleblower case and then press reports that helped shape public understanding about the Ukraine affair. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The temperature rose in Washington to such a point that Trump — who says that he has not done anything wrong and there was no \"quid pro quo\" in his discussion with Zelenskiy — felt obliged to release the official White House records about his call.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What still isn't clear is whether the whistleblower complaint itself might become public. Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Magquire is scheduled to appear before Schiff's committee on Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Complaint Called 'Partisan'\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Trump and White House officials have said they don't know the identity of the whistleblower, but the president nonetheless dismissed the person's actions as \"partisan.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And officials at the Justice Department on Wednesday affirmed that \u003ca href=\"https://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html?id=6429085-OLC-Opinion-Trump-Ukraine-Call\">the intelligence community's inspector general found\u003c/a> \"some indicia of an arguable political bias on the part of the complainant in favor of a rival political candidate.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, the IG concluded that the complaint's allegations nonetheless appeared \"credible.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's allies, including Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., have argued that the \"partisan\" nature of the complaint must be taken into account in understanding the full story. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the result of someone who wasn't personally involved with Trump's call getting a secondhand briefing about it and then trying to help Democrats, Graham and others argue. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

KQED considers it part of our journalistic responsibility to protect people and their identities when they’re in a vulnerable state, and particularly when our coverage may induce further harm. In this case, the patient in question was seeking treatment, and we published his name after it was made available in a public record. We are re-evaluating our policy around vulnerable sources and have decided that removing the patient’s name is the ethical decision.

When she had visited him previously at the hospital, he became agitated, hospital staff told state inspectors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One nurse, Sampaguita Pino, told a Palo Alto police investigator that the patient had been \"loud, agitated, and intrusive all day,\" according to the incident's police report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That night, the patient began pacing back and forth and took off his shirt. His behavior prompted one nurse to retreat into the nurses station, where patients are not allowed. The patient then walked into the station and confronted another nurse. A third nurse then pulled a panic alarm and called security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kennedy, who was hours into her overnight shift at the time, told police that the patient was \"not directable, irritable, had been wandering in rooms, was disorganized.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kennedy began administering medication to the patient to calm him down and gave him his shirt back and told him to put it back on. Instead he \"threw me to the ground, tackled me and then beat me,\" she told police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He allegedly lunged at Kennedy with a \"scissor kick\" and began striking her, according to the investigation. Pino tried to restrain the patient but was struck as well, at which point security officers and other staff entered the unit and restrained the patient. Kennedy was taken to the emergency room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A security guard later told a police investigator that \"security made no attempt to call the police, but that the family was advised they could call the police on their own.\" The attending psychiatric physician told the investigator that police were not called \"because he did not consider this a crime due to the patient's me(n)tal condition at the time of the assault.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal/OHSA says the hospital made several mistakes the night of the attack, which included failing to ensure that staff were documenting and communicating information to each other between shifts \"regarding conditions that may increase the potential for workplace violence incidents.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State workplace regulators also said there was not adequate security staffing in the psychiatric unit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The security staff were not available due to other assignments preventing them from immediately responding to an alarm,\" Cal/OHSA's report said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

KQED considers it part of our journalistic responsibility to protect people and their identities when they’re in a vulnerable state, and particularly when our coverage may induce further harm. In this case, the patient in question was seeking treatment, and we published his name after it was made available in a public record. We are re-evaluating our policy around vulnerable sources and have decided that removing the patient’s name is the ethical decision.

Prior to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11776227/trump-vows-to-release-ukraine-transcript-amid-impeachment-crescendo-in-d-c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pelosi's announcement today,\u003c/a> Trump said he would be willing to release the transcript on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1176604222709751809\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi has long stated that although impeachment is a political act, it must not be seen as partisan in nature, but rather have at least some support from both parties, as it ultimately did with President Richard Nixon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But allegations contained in a recent whistleblower complaint have prompted a number of Democrats who had been on the fence about impeachment to change their minds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among them is Pelosi, who now says that regardless of what's in the transcript, any attempt to block the release of the whistleblower complaint is itself \"a violation of the law.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That complaint centers around Trump's phone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in which the president allegedly urged the Ukrainian leader to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, who served on the board of a Ukrainian oil company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It has also been reported that Trump ordered military funding to be withheld a week before his July 25 conversation with President Zelensky.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question is whether Trump, who denies any wrongdoing, intended his release of the funds to be an understood outcome of such an investigation, even if he did not explicitly promise that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=112&v=lLSQG7haEZs\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael McConnell, director of the Constitutional Law Center at Stanford Law School, said he’s surprised Pelosi didn’t wait until the transcript of the call was released to announce the official inquiry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It just seems odd to announce a vote on an impeachment inquiry today when you’re going to have information as to whether there’s any basis for it tomorrow,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I mean I frankly just don’t understand why we don’t wait and read it and find out what’s there before taking a precipitous step. … You don’t start an impeachment proceeding to find out whether the president has done something that might be impeachable — you see a wrongdoing and impeachment is the remedy for that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Coverage\" tag=\"impeachment\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But McConnell noted that an actual impeachment hearing does give the House judicial authority — including the ability to issue subpoenas — and said that if the House wants to continue to investigate the president, it’s better that they pass a resolution of impeachment than \"all the sort of halfway measures that we've been seeing over the past month.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The proper thing is to pass a resolution of impeachment so that they have these powers and so that the electorate can hold them accountable for whether they are acting appropriately,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How the electorate will respond to any impeachment inquiry has been on the minds of many Democrats elected to swing districts in 2018 — including seven who ousted GOP incumbents in California last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Orange County Rep. Gil Cisneros was one of those freshmen withholding support for impeachment, but that changed this weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cisneros, along with six other Democrats with military or national security backgrounds, signed an \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/09/24/seven-freshman-democrats-these-allegations-are-threat-all-we-have-sworn-protect/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">opinion piece\u003c/a> in the Washington Post over the weekend in which they argued that the \"allegations are stunning, both in the national security threat they pose and the potential corruption they represent.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/RepGilCisneros/status/1176541504879386626?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We call on our colleagues in Congress to consider the use of all congressional authorities available to us, including the power of 'inherent contempt' and impeachment hearings, to address these new allegations, find the truth and protect our national security,\" the article stated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cisneros wasn't the only one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among other California representatives who flipped seats in 2018 and are now calling for the formal inquiry are Rep. Katie Hill and \u003ca href=\"https://www.modbee.com/news/local/article235424662.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rep.

Congresswoman Katie Porter, of Irvine, \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/politics/rep-katie-porter-supports-impeachment-investigation/2019/06/18/10e9ee26-f235-4067-b6f1-f4247f0e10a3_video.html\">announced in June that she would back an inquiry, \u003c/a>and Rep.

The reason the president gave in New York City on Tuesday was that he wanted European governments to give more support to Ukraine's government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The European Union's mission to the United States responded on Tuesday that its governments have given more than 15 billion euros to Ukraine since Russia's incursions there in 2014, which began the latest phase of support from the West for Kyiv.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/EUintheUS/status/1176547430160064512?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>American assistance then resumed earlier in September.

Maguire is scheduled to appear before Schiff's committee on Thursday and Schiff said he's also heard from a lawyer for the whistleblower about making contact with his committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Senate Intelligence Committee also has said it's exploring how to make contact with the whistleblower.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR correspondents Susan Davis, Ryan Lucas and Tim Mak contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

"content": "\u003cp>Last month, Yuri sat in her dining room in San Jose, turned on the TV, and heard something that made her sit up straight and sent her mind racing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration, the newscaster announced, had just published a new rule that could make it harder for immigrants to get a green card if they used, or were likely to use, public government benefits like food stamps or Medicaid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yuri, who came to the United States from Michoacán, Mexico, was enrolled in CalFresh, California’s food stamp program, for her seven children, who range in age from just over a month to 15 and who all were born in this country. But with the new rule, Yuri, wondered, would staying on food stamps imperil her asylum application or get her deported? Would she and her family have to move back to Michoacán, which has some of the worst cartel violence in Mexico?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"public-charge\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She decided to terminate food stamps for her kids and to withdraw herself from MediCal, despite some health complications she said accompanied her latest pregnancy. She worries, she said, about how she will keep her children’s bellies full without food stamps. But she doesn’t want the use of social service programs to put her at risk of being deported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Across California, the looming change, known as the “public charge” rule, is sowing confusion and fear within the immigrant community, causing many people to abandon programs for fear of retaliation from immigration authorities, according to nearly two dozen interviews with health care providers, lawyers, nonprofit organizations and social service agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new rule could affect more than 2 million Californians, most of whom are not subject to the regulation, and could result in 765,000 people withdrawing from MediCal and CalFresh, according to UCLA’s Center for Health Policy Research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yuri, who did not want her last name used for fear of drawing attention to her family, would not be affected by the rule change: Refugees and asylees are\u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/legal-resources/final-rule-public-charge-ground-inadmissibility\"> exempted\u003c/a> from the policy, as are the food stamps she gets for her children, who are citizens. But many immigrants like her, who are not subject to the rule, are feeling the chilling effect, with some withdrawing from social services unnecessarily.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Social service experts describe patients staying away from crucial medical appointments, domestic violence survivors avoiding food stamps, a crime victim with a humanitarian visa dropping health coverage during treatment for cancer and parents considering removing their children from benefits ranging from free and reduced school lunches to health coverage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, green card applicants must prove they will not be a financial burden — or a “public charge” — on the United States through use of cash welfare programs or publicly funded institutional care. The new regulation, which will take effect in mid-October, would expand the public charge definition to include Medicaid, food stamps and housing vouchers. Immigration officials will also consider income, education, English-language abilities and health when making a determination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Claribel Chavez, an outreach worker for the Second Harvest Food Bank of Silicon Valley, said the primary reason the people she talks to resist signing up for food stamps is out of fear of being considered a public charge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re just not doing it because they are scared,” she said. “They say, ‘We would rather struggle than put our name into the system.’ It’s getting bad.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In August, Santa Clara and San Francisco counties\u003ca href=\"https://www.sccgov.org/sites/cco/public-charge/pages/home.aspx\"> sued\u003c/a> the Trump administration over the regulation and filed a motion to block the rule before it takes effect. The\u003ca href=\"https://www.sccgov.org/sites/cco/public-charge/Documents/Counties_Prelimimary_Injunction_Motion.pdf\"> motion\u003c/a> argues that the rule, if implemented, would cause “irreparable harm” to the counties and “will cause individuals to dis-enroll from or forgo critical public benefits out of fear of potential immigration consequences.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is one of a\u003ca href=\"https://thehill.com/homenews/news/457485-washington-state-ag-files-lawsuit-over-trump-public-charge-rule\"> number\u003c/a> of states suing to block the policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its\u003ca href=\"https://s3.amazonaws.com/public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2019-17142.pdf\"> publication\u003c/a> of the rule change, the Department of Homeland Security estimated that 324,000 people in households with non-citizens will withdraw or stay away from public benefits because of the change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Yuri, an asylum-seeker\"]‘We don’t want to have the risk. You never know what’s going to happen.’[/pullquote]But immigrants’ rights advocates said they expect the affected pool to be much larger, because the effects are trickling down to legal immigrants and mixed-status families who, fearing negative consequences, may now withdraw or stay away from housing assistance, health care or other social services. A recent\u003ca href=\"https://www.kff.org/report-section/estimated-impacts-of-final-public-charge-inadmissibility-rule-on-immigrants-and-medicaid-coverage-key-findings/\"> report\u003c/a> by the Kaiser Family Foundation, for example, estimated that the rule could result in up to 4.7 million people withdrawing from Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although it is difficult to measure the full impacts of the policy before it takes effect, there are some indications that it may already be having an influence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco County, according to court records, food stamp enrollment in households with at least one noncitizen dropped sharply when the proposed rule was announced in the fall of 2018, while citizen household enrollment remained relatively steady.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Santa Clara County, data provided in\u003ca href=\"https://www.sccgov.org/sites/cco/public-charge/Documents/Declaration_of_Director_of_DEBS_Angela_Shing.pdf\"> court records\u003c/a> indicates that the number of households receiving food stamps with at least one member who is not a citizen decreased 20% — or from about 15,000 to about 12,000 — from October 2018 to May 2019. During the same time period, food stamp enrollment in citizen households stayed at roughly 26,000. The records also show that MediCal participation in households with at least one noncitizen decreased more than 13% from the fall of 2018 to July 2019, while participation in citizen households increased 6%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For health care providers in the Bay Area, the prospect of patients declining medical care is worrisome. Santa Clara County has the fourth-highest rate of tuberculosis in California, according to Dr. Sara Cody, the county’s director of public health, with almost 10% of that population infected with latent TB. Patients forgoing evaluation and treatment could heighten the risk of spreading infection to county residents, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jane Garcia, the chief executive officer of La Clinica, a health clinic that operates in Alameda, Solano and Contra Costa counties, said health care providers have reported patients skipping appointments and withdrawing from county health programs, as well as from MediCal. She said she gets three to four emails a day from doctors reporting appointment cancellations and no-shows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Greg C. Garrett, the chief policy and external affairs officer of the Alameda Health Consortium, shared the story of a 13-year-old U.S. citizen with severe depression and schizophrenia whose mother withdrew her from health services because she was afraid of the public charge rule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Her provider told me she is having nightmares, wondering what is happening with this young girl because of her issues,” Garrett said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asylum-seekers and refugees would be exempt from the current rule, as would victims of domestic violence and trafficking. But advocates and lawyers who work with those populations say that many of them, too, are confused about the 800-plus-page rule and have asked if they should reconsider using benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, neither the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) nor free and reduced price school lunch programs would be affected by the change. But social service providers in the Bay Area say recipients of both benefits have expressed concern about continuing their enrollment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for Yuri, the path forward is one without CalFresh for her children, and although she is seeking the advice of an immigration lawyer, legal consultation seems unlikely to change her mind about withdrawing. For now, she said, it all just seems too uncertain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t want to have the risk,” she said, rocking her newborn’s pink crib. “You never know what’s going to happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Erica Hellerstein is a journalist at The Mercury News in San Jose working for The California Divide, a collaboration among newsrooms examining income inequity and economic survival in California.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

But with the new rule, Yuri, wondered, would staying on food stamps imperil her asylum application or get her deported?

She worries, she said, about how she will keep her children’s bellies full without food stamps. But she doesn’t want the use of social service programs to put her at risk of being deported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Across California, the looming change, known as the “public charge” rule, is sowing confusion and fear within the immigrant community, causing many people to abandon programs for fear of retaliation from immigration authorities, according to nearly two dozen interviews with health care providers, lawyers, nonprofit organizations and social service agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new rule could affect more than 2 million Californians, most of whom are not subject to the regulation, and could result in 765,000 people withdrawing from MediCal and CalFresh, according to UCLA’s Center for Health Policy Research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yuri, who did not want her last name used for fear of drawing attention to her family, would not be affected by the rule change: Refugees and asylees are\u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/legal-resources/final-rule-public-charge-ground-inadmissibility\"> exempted\u003c/a> from the policy, as are the food stamps she gets for her children, who are citizens. But many immigrants like her, who are not subject to the rule, are feeling the chilling effect, with some withdrawing from social services unnecessarily.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Social service experts describe patients staying away from crucial medical appointments, domestic violence survivors avoiding food stamps, a crime victim with a humanitarian visa dropping health coverage during treatment for cancer and parents considering removing their children from benefits ranging from free and reduced school lunches to health coverage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, green card applicants must prove they will not be a financial burden — or a “public charge” — on the United States through use of cash welfare programs or publicly funded institutional care. The new regulation, which will take effect in mid-October, would expand the public charge definition to include Medicaid, food stamps and housing vouchers. Immigration officials will also consider income, education, English-language abilities and health when making a determination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Claribel Chavez, an outreach worker for the Second Harvest Food Bank of Silicon Valley, said the primary reason the people she talks to resist signing up for food stamps is out of fear of being considered a public charge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re just not doing it because they are scared,” she said. “They say, ‘We would rather struggle than put our name into the system.’ It’s getting bad.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In August, Santa Clara and San Francisco counties\u003ca href=\"https://www.sccgov.org/sites/cco/public-charge/pages/home.aspx\"> sued\u003c/a> the Trump administration over the regulation and filed a motion to block the rule before it takes effect. The\u003ca href=\"https://www.sccgov.org/sites/cco/public-charge/Documents/Counties_Prelimimary_Injunction_Motion.pdf\"> motion\u003c/a> argues that the rule, if implemented, would cause “irreparable harm” to the counties and “will cause individuals to dis-enroll from or forgo critical public benefits out of fear of potential immigration consequences.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is one of a\u003ca href=\"https://thehill.com/homenews/news/457485-washington-state-ag-files-lawsuit-over-trump-public-charge-rule\"> number\u003c/a> of states suing to block the policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its\u003ca href=\"https://s3.amazonaws.com/public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2019-17142.pdf\"> publication\u003c/a> of the rule change, the Department of Homeland Security estimated that 324,000 people in households with non-citizens will withdraw or stay away from public benefits because of the change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

A recent\u003ca href=\"https://www.kff.org/report-section/estimated-impacts-of-final-public-charge-inadmissibility-rule-on-immigrants-and-medicaid-coverage-key-findings/\"> report\u003c/a> by the Kaiser Family Foundation, for example, estimated that the rule could result in up to 4.7 million people withdrawing from Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although it is difficult to measure the full impacts of the policy before it takes effect, there are some indications that it may already be having an influence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco County, according to court records, food stamp enrollment in households with at least one noncitizen dropped sharply when the proposed rule was announced in the fall of 2018, while citizen household enrollment remained relatively steady.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Santa Clara County, data provided in\u003ca href=\"https://www.sccgov.org/sites/cco/public-charge/Documents/Declaration_of_Director_of_DEBS_Angela_Shing.pdf\"> court records\u003c/a> indicates that the number of households receiving food stamps with at least one member who is not a citizen decreased 20% — or from about 15,000 to about 12,000 — from October 2018 to May 2019. During the same time period, food stamp enrollment in citizen households stayed at roughly 26,000. The records also show that MediCal participation in households with at least one noncitizen decreased more than 13% from the fall of 2018 to July 2019, while participation in citizen households increased 6%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For health care providers in the Bay Area, the prospect of patients declining medical care is worrisome. Santa Clara County has the fourth-highest rate of tuberculosis in California, according to Dr. Sara Cody, the county’s director of public health, with almost 10% of that population infected with latent TB. Patients forgoing evaluation and treatment could heighten the risk of spreading infection to county residents, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jane Garcia, the chief executive officer of La Clinica, a health clinic that operates in Alameda, Solano and Contra Costa counties, said health care providers have reported patients skipping appointments and withdrawing from county health programs, as well as from MediCal. She said she gets three to four emails a day from doctors reporting appointment cancellations and no-shows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Greg C. Garrett, the chief policy and external affairs officer of the Alameda Health Consortium, shared the story of a 13-year-old U.S. citizen with severe depression and schizophrenia whose mother withdrew her from health services because she was afraid of the public charge rule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Her provider told me she is having nightmares, wondering what is happening with this young girl because of her issues,” Garrett said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Only \u003ca href=\"https://www.sccgov.org/sites/da/newsroom/newsreleases/Documents/B-Turner%20VIS.pdf\">her 12-page victim’s statement\u003c/a>, which she read in court before Turner was sentenced, spoke to her experience on that January 2015 night when Turner was discovered on top of her unconscious body behind a dumpster at Stanford University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To sit under oath and inform all of us, that yes I wanted it, yes I permitted it and that you are the true victim attacked by guys for reasons unknown to you is sick, is demented, is selfish, is stupid,” Miller told Turner in court in 2016. “It shows that you were willing to go to any length to discredit me, invalidate me, and explain why it was OK to hurt me. You tried unyieldingly to save yourself, your reputation, at my expense.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly after she read that statement in court, describing in vivid, disturbing detail the violence and trauma she’d experienced, the judge overseeing the trial sentenced her attacker to six months in jail — much less than the six years in prison that prosecutors wanted for Turner, who had been convicted of three counts of felony sexual assault. Aaron Persky, then a California Superior Court judge, justified his light sentence at the time by saying “a prison sentence would have a severe impact on [Turner].”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Turner would ultimately serve \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/09/02/492390163/brock-turner-freed-from-jail-after-serving-half-of-6-month-sentence\">just three months\u003c/a> of that sentence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I spoke with conviction. I felt that it was working. I felt that it was everything I could have done. So I felt relief and pride and now thought the hardest parts were behind me, but they weren’t,” Miller recalls of that hearing. “When the sentence was announced, the immediate reaction I had was humiliation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says she had struggled to include her family and friends in the legal process up to that point. Since the moment she began learning what had happened to her that night — “every detail I found out on the news,” she says — Miller remembers keeping many of her family and friends out of courtroom proceedings, hoping to “protect the people that I loved.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It had even taken her some time to tell her parents about what happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was almost like I cracked in half,” she says of that conversation. “I just sort of bent over and was unable to speak.

Only \u003ca href=\"https://www.sccgov.org/sites/da/newsroom/newsreleases/Documents/B-Turner%20VIS.pdf\">her 12-page victim’s statement\u003c/a>, which she read in court before Turner was sentenced, spoke to her experience on that January 2015 night when Turner was discovered on top of her unconscious body behind a dumpster at Stanford University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To sit under oath and inform all of us, that yes I wanted it, yes I permitted it and that you are the true victim attacked by guys for reasons unknown to you is sick, is demented, is selfish, is stupid,” Miller told Turner in court in 2016. “It shows that you were willing to go to any length to discredit me, invalidate me, and explain why it was OK to hurt me. You tried unyieldingly to save yourself, your reputation, at my expense.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly after she read that statement in court, describing in vivid, disturbing detail the violence and trauma she’d experienced, the judge overseeing the trial sentenced her attacker to six months in jail — much less than the six years in prison that prosecutors wanted for Turner, who had been convicted of three counts of felony sexual assault. Aaron Persky, then a California Superior Court judge, justified his light sentence at the time by saying “a prison sentence would have a severe impact on [Turner].”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Turner would ultimately serve \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/09/02/492390163/brock-turner-freed-from-jail-after-serving-half-of-6-month-sentence\">just three months\u003c/a> of that sentence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I spoke with conviction. I felt that it was working. I felt that it was everything I could have done. So I felt relief and pride and now thought the hardest parts were behind me, but they weren’t,” Miller recalls of that hearing. “When the sentence was announced, the immediate reaction I had was humiliation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says she had struggled to include her family and friends in the legal process up to that point. Since the moment she began learning what had happened to her that night — “every detail I found out on the news,” she says — Miller remembers keeping many of her family and friends out of courtroom proceedings, hoping to “protect the people that I loved.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It had even taken her some time to tell her parents about what happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was almost like I cracked in half,” she says of that conversation. “I just sort of bent over and was unable to speak. And at that point, my mom stood up and she just held me and we both cried. Because I don’t think you can assign words to that initial experience. I think you need to feel it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To most in her life, though, she didn’t talk about what was going on in court, or even say where it was she was going when there was a hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was extremely difficult to conceal that this was going on in my life,” she explains. “At the same time, I felt like it was necessary to protect myself, and I was also terrified of the investigators.

"content": "\u003cp>A federal judge in San Diego on Monday ordered the Trump administration to provide all documentation relating to migrant family separations, a practice that has continued despite a June 2018 court order. More than 1,000 children have been separated from parents since then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is beyond shocking that the Trump administration continues to take babies from their parents,” ACLU lawyer Lee Gelernt said in a statement. Gelernt is representing migrant parents, whose children were forcibly taken away by border officials, in a class-action lawsuit. “The administration cannot simply ignore the nationwide injunction over minor infractions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During a status conference on Friday, lawyers representing the federal government argued that the original injunction allows them to separate parents from their children if the parents are considered “unfit” or “a danger to the child.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in court, Gelernt questioned if the government’s motivation for separation was truly for reasons of safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The government is more than happy to take these parents, that they deem a danger to their child, and remove them together. So they’re more than happy to put them together when it means getting rid of them,” Gelernt said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ACLU is asking that the judge reassess the original injunction to more explicitly address or provide guidelines for when children can be taken away from parents with a criminal history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ACLU is also asking that the government provide plaintiffs with lists of separated children on a weekly basis. In a joint status report to the judge earlier this month, the ACLU said it has been provided “one updated list tracking continuing separation of families” on Aug. 20. But plaintiffs’ lawyers said the information was a month old, making it difficult to begin the process of finding and potentially reuniting the children with their parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='ACLU lawyer Lee Gelernt']‘The government is more than happy to take these parents, that they deem a danger to their child, and remove them together. So they’re more than happy to put them together when it means getting rid of them.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Justice Department lawyer Sarah Fabian said providing the lists each week would not be “feasible” due to the intensive back-and-forth and crosschecking required between different federal agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Judge Dana Sabraw did not make a decision during the hearing on Friday, he said he hoped to rule on the continued separations soon. And he offered this observation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you have, for example, a father who has an assault with a deadly weapon in California, beat another man nearly to death and is sentenced to federal prison — that man might be the most loving, protective father and absolutely no danger to his child,” Sabraw said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Five asylum-seeking mothers also separately filed suit last week against the Trump administration’s family separation policy, seeking damages for cruel treatment and agony.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in July, the ACLU \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11764463/border-agents-still-separating-hundreds-of-migrant-kids-from-parents-says-aclu\">filed a motion\u003c/a> attesting that the federal government had separated more than 900 children from their parents at the border, despite the nationwide injunction issued by Judge Sabraw on \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11677646/judge-bars-migrant-family-separations-orders-return-of-children-within-30-days\">June 26, 2018\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That injunction prevents the government from separating children from their parents, “absent a determination that the parent is unfit or presents a danger to the child,” or if the parent “affirmatively, knowingly and voluntarily declines to be reunited with the child in DHS [Department of Homeland Security] custody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last spring, Department of Homeland Security acting Secretary Kevin McAleenan said continuing separations are done only for the safety of the child and are based on “defined criteria” in keeping with Sabraw’s order. But ACLU attorneys say the government has taken children from their parents based on minor criminal convictions and unsubstantiated allegations of wrongdoing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='family-separation' label='Related Coverage.']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Friday’s hearing, the government told Sabraw that of the 2,814 separated children who were in government custody at the time of the June 2018 ruling, all but 27 have been discharged — either by being reunified with a parent or under other “appropriate circumstances” (including placement with sponsors if their parent is deemed not eligible for reunification, or if the child turned 18.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The search for additional separated migrant kids is underway because in April Sabraw ordered an \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11743074/judge-orders-trump-administration-to-identify-thousands-more-separated-migrant-families\">expansion of the class\u003c/a> in the lawsuit, known as \u003cem>Ms. L v. ICE\u003c/em>, to include parents who were separated from their children between July 1, 2017, and June 25, 2018. During that hearing, Sabraw told government officials he expected the updated list of children to be ready by Oct. 23.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawyers for the government told the court that at least 986 more children were taken from their parents in the year before Sabraw’s injunction. And federal officials are still combing through records that could identify as many as 2,000 more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judge ordered both parties to report back to him with the family separation documents on Oct. 16.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post has been updated.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

More than 1,000 children have been separated from parents since then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is beyond shocking that the Trump administration continues to take babies from their parents,” ACLU lawyer Lee Gelernt said in a statement. Gelernt is representing migrant parents, whose children were forcibly taken away by border officials, in a class-action lawsuit. “The administration cannot simply ignore the nationwide injunction over minor infractions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During a status conference on Friday, lawyers representing the federal government argued that the original injunction allows them to separate parents from their children if the parents are considered “unfit” or “a danger to the child.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in court, Gelernt questioned if the government’s motivation for separation was truly for reasons of safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The government is more than happy to take these parents, that they deem a danger to their child, and remove them together. So they’re more than happy to put them together when it means getting rid of them,” Gelernt said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ACLU is asking that the judge reassess the original injunction to more explicitly address or provide guidelines for when children can be taken away from parents with a criminal history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ACLU is also asking that the government provide plaintiffs with lists of separated children on a weekly basis. In a joint status report to the judge earlier this month, the ACLU said it has been provided “one updated list tracking continuing separation of families” on Aug. 20. But plaintiffs’ lawyers said the information was a month old, making it difficult to begin the process of finding and potentially reuniting the children with their parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
