His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>Editor’s note: This story was published on June 21, after President Trump said immigration agents would detain a large number of people in the country illegally. Late Wednesday, The New York Times reported that the raids, which had been postponed, would begin Sunday.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After President Trump tweeted this week that authorities would soon begin arresting “millions” of people illegally in the country, immigration agents were \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/ice-raids-targeting-migrant-families-slated-to-start-sunday-in-major-us-cities/2019/06/21/f2936318-942e-11e9-b570-6416efdc0803_story.html?utm_term=.04a815b4d3ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reportedly\u003c/a> preparing an operation targeting migrant families at major metropolitan areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the San Francisco Bay Area, advocates and local governments have been preparing for mass immigration arrests for years, building up “rapid response” networks aimed at delivering speedy legal aid to detained noncitizens so they can fight deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Across California, more than two dozen rapid response networks have hotlines, where anyone can call to report an apprehension by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. Designated volunteers or staffers then verify the arrest and dispatch an attorney to consult with migrants taken into custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The goal of that attorney is to advise them of what their legal rights are and also to let ICE know that the community and attorneys are watching what they’re doing,” said Hamid Yazdan Panah, who helps coordinate networks in the San Francisco immigration court jurisdiction — from Kern County to the Oregon border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An ICE official confirmed to a staffer with U.S. Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-San Jose) on Friday that an enforcement action would take place, said Yianni Varonis, a spokesman for Lofgren’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But an ICE spokesman declined to say whether the agency would begin conducting large-scale arrests in California, or if those arrests would mostly target people with deportation orders. In a statement, he said ICE agents will continue “targeted enforcement operations” for those “who are in violation of federal immigration law.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is about addressing the border crisis by upholding the rule of law and maintaining the integrity of the immigration system,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has threatened mass deportations before, including during his first presidential campaign. After Trump’s election in 2016, San Francisco, Alameda, Santa Clara and other counties ramped up their budgets to expand legal representation for immigrants who can’t afford an attorney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco spent $8.4 million this year in legal aid, education and rapid response services for immigrants, according to Mayor London Breed’s office. Another $1 million funds the immigration defense unit at the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office, which was formed in 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The eight immigration attorneys now working at the public defender’s office mostly represent clients detained by ICE who are fighting deportation in San Francisco’s immigration court, regardless of whether they live in the city or not, said Francisco Ugarte, who manages the immigration unit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve been successful in helping those clients get released from custody about 50% of the time,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the unauthorized immigrants fighting deportation have deep ties to the Bay Area, Ugarte said: “Most of our clients have been in the United States for more than 10 years. Most have U.S. citizen relatives, whether it’s a spouse or a child.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the event of large ICE arrests in the coming days, Ugarte said his office is prepared to jump in to represent “as many people as we can.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s what we were designed to do,” he said. “We will not stand by idly if there is a raid in our community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But advocates in other parts of California can’t count on as many immigration attorneys standing by.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because we don’t have a lot of resources in terms of money to pay for everything, we do rely a lot on volunteers,” said Jennaya Dunlap, who coordinates the Inland Empire Emergency Response Network.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dunlap is the network’s only paid staff member and oversees more than 60 volunteers who follow ICE arrests and help support the families of people taken into custody in two of the largest counties in the state: San Bernardino and Riverside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Due to the Inland Empire’s proximity to the border, both ICE and the Border Patrol are targeting and arresting people in the region, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of calls come super early in the morning,” said Dunlap. “We do have people being picked up in our community every single day. So it’s an ongoing need.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To beef up legal services for immigrants across California, the state Legislature has proposed $65 million in the budget now awaiting Gov. Gavin Newsom’s signature. That’s about double what the state spent before Trump was elected in 2016, according to the California Department of Social Services, which distributes the funds to nonprofit groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE conducted nearly 159,000 arrests nationwide in 2018, up from 110,000 two years before, according to agency figures. Still, there were more than 300,000 arrests annually during the Obama administration’s peak ICE enforcement years in 2010 and 2011 — about twice the 2018 levels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanctuary policies, limiting cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration agents, have curbed the Trump administration’s efforts to ramp up deportations, according to researchers at the Migration Policy Institute in Washington, D.C.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE officials do not typically publicize arrests ahead of time to avoid tipping off targeted immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='immigration' label='More Immigration Coverage']“Due to law-enforcement sensitivities and the safety and security of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel, the agency will not offer specific details related to enforcement operations,” an ICE spokesman said in a statement. “As always, ICE prioritizes the arrest and removal of unlawfully present aliens who pose a threat to national security, public safety and border security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In fact, 90 percent of aliens arrested by ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations component in FY2018 had either a criminal conviction(s), pending criminal charge(s), were an ICE fugitive, or illegally reentered the country after previously being removed,” the statement continued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, Trump berated Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf for alerting local communities to an impending sweep that netted 232 people in Northern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But on the eve of officially launching his re-election bid at a rally in Florida this week, Trump announced on Twitter that ICE “would begin removing millions” of undocumented immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They will be removed as fast as they come in,” he wrote.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Zoe Lofgren (D-San Jose) on Friday that an enforcement action would take place, said Yianni Varonis, a spokesman for Lofgren’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But an ICE spokesman declined to say whether the agency would begin conducting large-scale arrests in California, or if those arrests would mostly target people with deportation orders. In a statement, he said ICE agents will continue “targeted enforcement operations” for those “who are in violation of federal immigration law.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is about addressing the border crisis by upholding the rule of law and maintaining the integrity of the immigration system,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has threatened mass deportations before, including during his first presidential campaign. After Trump’s election in 2016, San Francisco, Alameda, Santa Clara and other counties ramped up their budgets to expand legal representation for immigrants who can’t afford an attorney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco spent $8.4 million this year in legal aid, education and rapid response services for immigrants, according to Mayor London Breed’s office. Another $1 million funds the immigration defense unit at the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office, which was formed in 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The eight immigration attorneys now working at the public defender’s office mostly represent clients detained by ICE who are fighting deportation in San Francisco’s immigration court, regardless of whether they live in the city or not, said Francisco Ugarte, who manages the immigration unit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve been successful in helping those clients get released from custody about 50% of the time,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the unauthorized immigrants fighting deportation have deep ties to the Bay Area, Ugarte said: “Most of our clients have been in the United States for more than 10 years. Most have U.S. citizen relatives, whether it’s a spouse or a child.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the event of large ICE arrests in the coming days, Ugarte said his office is prepared to jump in to represent “as many people as we can.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s what we were designed to do,” he said. “We will not stand by idly if there is a raid in our community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But advocates in other parts of California can’t count on as many immigration attorneys standing by.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because we don’t have a lot of resources in terms of money to pay for everything, we do rely a lot on volunteers,” said Jennaya Dunlap, who coordinates the Inland Empire Emergency Response Network.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dunlap is the network’s only paid staff member and oversees more than 60 volunteers who follow ICE arrests and help support the families of people taken into custody in two of the largest counties in the state: San Bernardino and Riverside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Due to the Inland Empire’s proximity to the border, both ICE and the Border Patrol are targeting and arresting people in the region, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of calls come super early in the morning,” said Dunlap. “We do have people being picked up in our community every single day. So it’s an ongoing need.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To beef up legal services for immigrants across California, the state Legislature has proposed $65 million in the budget now awaiting Gov. Gavin Newsom’s signature. That’s about double what the state spent before Trump was elected in 2016, according to the California Department of Social Services, which distributes the funds to nonprofit groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE conducted nearly 159,000 arrests nationwide in 2018, up from 110,000 two years before, according to agency figures. Still, there were more than 300,000 arrests annually during the Obama administration’s peak ICE enforcement years in 2010 and 2011 — about twice the 2018 levels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanctuary policies, limiting cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration agents, have curbed the Trump administration’s efforts to ramp up deportations, according to researchers at the Migration Policy Institute in Washington, D.C.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE officials do not typically publicize arrests ahead of time to avoid tipping off targeted immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>Updated 7:10 p.m.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ghost Ship master tenant Derick Almena, one of two men charged with 36 counts of involuntary manslaughter in a deadly 2016 Oakland warehouse fire, testified Tuesday that he lied to law enforcement about people living in the building at the advice of the landlords.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was bad advice,” Almena said regarding conversations with Kai Ng, son of landlord Chor Ng, in mid-to-late 2014. “I just wanted to ultimately protect what was going on there ... to give people a place to stay.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='ghost-ship-trial' label='More Ghost Ship Trial Coverage']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almena testified under questioning from his attorney, Tony Serra, that Kai Ng \"suggested members sign contracts that they didn’t live there.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almena also said he had misrepresented himself to law enforcement on four occasions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almena and Ghost Ship tenant Max Harris both face 36 counts of involuntary manslaughter stemming from the Dec. 2, 2016, blaze that killed 35 concert-goers and one tenant the night of an electronic music event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors argue that Almena and Harris, who has been described as the Ghost Ship's creative director, illegally converted the warehouse into an unsafe living space without proper safety regulations like fire alarms, sprinklers and well-lit exits. But the defense has argued that arson was the cause of the blaze, and there was nothing Almena or Harris could have done to prevent it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, Almena claimed that a number of steps were taken and that rules were implemented to ensure safety in the Ghost Ship. He said smoke detectors and fire extinguishers were required in every living space, but said he didn’t check occupants' personal quarters. He also said there were rules against open flames and smoking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almena said he had asked the landlords to install sprinklers and a number of other safety measures, but that they had refused.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almena also testified that Kai Ng had visited the warehouse at least four times from 2014 to 2016, doing full walk-throughs and inspections of the complex. Almena said Ng had passed through the warehouse once when approximately 20 people had lived there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The most obvious living situation was mine,\" said Almena, who lived in the warehouse with his wife and three children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also said that from July 2014 to Dec. 1, 2016, there had been 33 visits inside the building by about 50 officials from various agencies and that no one had ever issued any eviction notices or had red-tagged the building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almena listed the agencies and visits, including: five separate visits by 13 fire department staff, 16 visits by law enforcement inside the building, eight visits from Child Protective Services and two paramedic visits. He also said more than 25 teachers had held a parent-teacher meeting there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We felt good about what we were doing,” said Almena, after being asked how he felt about not being cited following those visits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Serra had Almena detail a number of occasions in which agency officials visited the warehouse. Serra asked Almena about a Sept. 26, 2014, potential arson incident outside the front of the warehouse in which Almena recalled seeing flames rising up to the outside of the second-story windows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almena recounted that four to five fire department staff responded to put the fire out. He said then-Oakland fire investigator Maria Sabatini arrived with three other fire personnel and a police officer. Almena said Sabatini “politely demanded” to enter the building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almena said Sabatini made the sign of the cross in front of an altar just inside the front entrance, and then went upstairs with Almena to inspect the windows toward the front of the Ghost Ship. He said they climbed back down the front stairs and then he and Sabatini walked through the downstairs area, up the back stairs and then back down the front stairs before leaving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almena’s testimony — along with \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11756955/ghost-ship-defendants-wife-says-law-enforcement-had-been-through-warehouse-many-times\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">earlier testimony from his wife, Micah Allison\u003c/a> — contradicts testimony Sabatini made on May 22 that she had not entered the warehouse. Allison also testified she saw Sabatini enter the building on the day of the 2014 fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the cause of the deadly Dec. 2, 2016, fire was never determined, Sabatini’s testimony also cast doubt on arson as the cause of the fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almena also testified that a map of the layout of the warehouse used throughout the trial was not accurate. He said a long hallway from near the front door to a residence in the rear of the building gave a \"straight shot\" through the building and wasn't depicted in the image. He said \"this exhibit has been working against me the whole time,\" and said the warehouse wasn't \"maze-like\" as had been described previously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almena also said under questioning from Curtis Briggs, who represents Harris, that Harris had nothing to do with electrical work at the warehouse and that many large modifications had been implemented before Harris moved into the building. Almena also said the title of executive director or creative director, which Harris had used on occasion in emails, did not actually exist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Briggs said outside of court that Almena's testimony completely exonerated his client.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We think Almena, to his credit, is holding up very well considering he bears most of the focus in this prosecution, and he's got a lot to lose,\" Briggs said. \"He's facing 39 years in custody, and he seems to be doing very well. He got up there and told the truth. He's exonerated Max Harris — that's very important to us — and we're very happy about that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colleen Dolan, mother of fire victim Chelsea Faith Dolan, said outside of court that she didn't believe anything that Almena had said on the stand, including tears he had shed Monday and Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He is such a poor actor,\" Dolan said. \"He doesn't know how to fake it very well. Children fake tears better than he does, and I work with children, and I've seen them when they go 'oh, boo hoo.' He can't even do that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors began cross-examination late Tuesday and are expected to continue Wednesday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

But the defense has argued that arson was the cause of the blaze, and there was nothing Almena or Harris could have done to prevent it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, Almena claimed that a number of steps were taken and that rules were implemented to ensure safety in the Ghost Ship. He said smoke detectors and fire extinguishers were required in every living space, but said he didn’t check occupants' personal quarters. He also said there were rules against open flames and smoking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almena said he had asked the landlords to install sprinklers and a number of other safety measures, but that they had refused.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almena also testified that Kai Ng had visited the warehouse at least four times from 2014 to 2016, doing full walk-throughs and inspections of the complex. Almena said Ng had passed through the warehouse once when approximately 20 people had lived there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The most obvious living situation was mine,\" said Almena, who lived in the warehouse with his wife and three children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He also said more than 25 teachers had held a parent-teacher meeting there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We felt good about what we were doing,” said Almena, after being asked how he felt about not being cited following those visits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Serra had Almena detail a number of occasions in which agency officials visited the warehouse. Serra asked Almena about a Sept. 26, 2014, potential arson incident outside the front of the warehouse in which Almena recalled seeing flames rising up to the outside of the second-story windows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almena recounted that four to five fire department staff responded to put the fire out. He said then-Oakland fire investigator Maria Sabatini arrived with three other fire personnel and a police officer. Almena said Sabatini “politely demanded” to enter the building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almena said Sabatini made the sign of the cross in front of an altar just inside the front entrance, and then went upstairs with Almena to inspect the windows toward the front of the Ghost Ship. He said they climbed back down the front stairs and then he and Sabatini walked through the downstairs area, up the back stairs and then back down the front stairs before leaving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almena’s testimony — along with \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11756955/ghost-ship-defendants-wife-says-law-enforcement-had-been-through-warehouse-many-times\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">earlier testimony from his wife, Micah Allison\u003c/a> — contradicts testimony Sabatini made on May 22 that she had not entered the warehouse. Allison also testified she saw Sabatini enter the building on the day of the 2014 fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the cause of the deadly Dec. 2, 2016, fire was never determined, Sabatini’s testimony also cast doubt on arson as the cause of the fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almena also testified that a map of the layout of the warehouse used throughout the trial was not accurate. He said a long hallway from near the front door to a residence in the rear of the building gave a \"straight shot\" through the building and wasn't depicted in the image. He said \"this exhibit has been working against me the whole time,\" and said the warehouse wasn't \"maze-like\" as had been described previously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almena also said under questioning from Curtis Briggs, who represents Harris, that Harris had nothing to do with electrical work at the warehouse and that many large modifications had been implemented before Harris moved into the building. Almena also said the title of executive director or creative director, which Harris had used on occasion in emails, did not actually exist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Briggs said outside of court that Almena's testimony completely exonerated his client.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We think Almena, to his credit, is holding up very well considering he bears most of the focus in this prosecution, and he's got a lot to lose,\" Briggs said. \"He's facing 39 years in custody, and he seems to be doing very well. He got up there and told the truth. He's exonerated Max Harris — that's very important to us — and we're very happy about that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colleen Dolan, mother of fire victim Chelsea Faith Dolan, said outside of court that she didn't believe anything that Almena had said on the stand, including tears he had shed Monday and Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He is such a poor actor,\" Dolan said. \"He doesn't know how to fake it very well. Children fake tears better than he does, and I work with children, and I've seen them when they go 'oh, boo hoo.' He can't even do that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors began cross-examination late Tuesday and are expected to continue Wednesday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
