According to the lawsuit, border officers searched the smartphones and laptops of more than 33,000 international travelers in 2018 — an increase of almost 400% from three years earlier. Those searches, the complaint says, violate the Fourth Amendment’s protections against unreasonable search and seizure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Border searches of electronic devices intrude deeply on the private lives of all travelers and raise unique concerns for the journalists, lawyers, doctors, and others who carry particularly sensitive information about their news sources, clients, and patients,” the attorneys wrote.

In an advanced search, the officer connects external equipment to the device in order to review and sometimes copy its contents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CBP policy allows basic searches without any suspicion of wrongdoing; advanced searches require a “reasonable suspicion of activity in violation of the laws enforced or administered by CBP” or a “national security concern.” U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has a similar policy permitting both basic and advanced searches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a legal filing, the agencies said their searches were “a crucial tool for detecting evidence relating to terrorism and other national security matters” and “can also reveal information about financial and commercial crimes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But those searches go far beyond what the Constitution allows, the ACLU lawsuit argues. “The government cannot use the border to circumvent the Constitution,” they wrote. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

Those searches, the complaint says, violate the Fourth Amendment’s protections against unreasonable search and seizure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Border searches of electronic devices intrude deeply on the private lives of all travelers and raise unique concerns for the journalists, lawyers, doctors, and others who carry particularly sensitive information about their news sources, clients, and patients,” the attorneys wrote. They argued that the warrantless searches “turn the border into a digital dragnet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/2018-Jan/CBP-Directive-3340-049A-Border-Search-of-Electronic-Media-Compliant.pdf\">Customs and Border Protection policy\u003c/a> implemented in 2018 permits two kinds of searches: basic and advanced. In a basic search, an officer looks through an electronic device manually. In an advanced search, the officer connects external equipment to the device in order to review and sometimes copy its contents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CBP policy allows basic searches without any suspicion of wrongdoing; advanced searches require a “reasonable suspicion of activity in violation of the laws enforced or administered by CBP” or a “national security concern.” U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has a similar policy permitting both basic and advanced searches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a legal filing, the agencies said their searches were “a crucial tool for detecting evidence relating to terrorism and other national security matters” and “can also reveal information about financial and commercial crimes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But those searches go far beyond what the Constitution allows, the ACLU lawsuit argues. “The government cannot use the border to circumvent the Constitution,” they wrote. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

Moreno told KQED about the prosecutors' plan late Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year the Fresno Diocese announced it would conduct an \u003ca href=\"https://dioceseoffresno.org/stories/diocese-of-fresno-moves-forward-with-first-phase-of-independent-review/\">independent review\u003c/a> of clergy files dating back to 1922 and release a list of priests accused of sexual misconduct, an effort that other Catholic dioceses around the country have made in recent months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The diocese hired former FBI Executive Assistant Director Kathleen McChesney, of Kinsale Management Consulting, to go through the diocesan records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moreno said she aims to make her own determination about whether the review is handled properly. Prosecutors from her office will identify records that could be handed over to law enforcement and cases that can still be prosecuted under the state’s statute of limitations. Those that involve priests who are currently active in the community will be a high priority, Moreno said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Catholic Church as a whole, they don’t have — at this point — credibility to carry forward this kind of an investigation on their own,” Moreno said. “I think they understand that they need help demonstrating that they’re being transparent. And if they’re not being transparent, then we’re there to expose that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"catholic-church-sexual-abuse\" label=\"Related Coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, district attorneys’ offices in Merced and Mariposa counties have also agreed to participate, Moreno said. The Catholic Diocese of Fresno covers eight counties and extends to the Nevada state line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“(Moreno) asked me if I’d be interested and I said definitely. I’m definitely interested,” said Mariposa County District Attorney Walter Wall. “\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The church as an entity has not been the best watchdog of itself.

He is also the chaplain for the Bakersfield Police Department and Kern County Sheriff’s Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a diocese press release, one man told diocese staff that Harrison had inappropriately touched him when he was between 14 and 16 years old. \u003ca href=\"https://ewscripps.brightspotcdn.com/53/ff/38eede904c468a0bab9d713de3ee/press-release-19-0003160-1.pdf\">According to police\u003c/a>, the abuse allegedly occurred in Firebaugh, where Harrison worked as a priest from 1992-1999.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The allegations were first reported to church officials on April 12. The diocese waited until April 15 to report the allegations to the Firebaugh Police Department. The Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests (\u003ca href=\"http://www.snapnetwork.org/\">SNAP\u003c/a>) criticized the diocese for \u003ca href=\"http://www.snapnetwork.org/snap_extremely_troubled_by_reporting_delay_in_the_diocese_of_fresno_apr19\">waiting three days\u003c/a> to contact law enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The police stations are open 24/7 and the phones always work,” Dan McNevin of SNAP California said. “All it required was for the bishop to pick the phone up and call police and say, ‘We’ve got a report, it just came in. We are discharging our mandatory duty to report.’ He didn’t do that. It took three days.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McNevin said SNAP would call on the Fresno County District Attorney’s Office to investigate why the diocese waited an entire weekend to contact law enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The trouble with these reports going to the bishop before reporting to police,” McNevin said, “is that the time that it takes to do that reporting is time when evidence can be destroyed, when witnesses can be tampered with.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several days later, a second man came forward with allegations against Harrison. This time, diocese staff directed the alleged victim to make a report to police directly. A lieutenant with the Merced Police Department, the agency currently investigating the case, confirmed that a 46-year-old man accused Harrison of engaging in sexual misconduct when the man was a teenager in Merced in the late 1980s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harrison worked as a priest in Merced from 1987 to 1989 at Our Lady of Mercy, St. Patrick’s and Sacred Heart Catholic churches, according to the Fresno Diocese.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Fresno Sheriff’s Office said Harrison was questioned about other cases in 1997 and 1998, but they were not sexually related and were found to be unsubstantiated, a spokesman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Diocese of Fresno said it is cooperating with law enforcement and notifying other churches where Harrison has worked. According to the diocese, Harrison also worked in Mojave from 1991 to 1992 and in Bakersfield again from 1989 to 1991.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When something like this happens, people ask: What’s being done?” Moreno said. “I just know that if the Diocese of Fresno comes out and says, ‘Hey we audited, and everything’s cool!’ people are gonna say, ‘Oh, no way. You can’t audit yourself.’ So we’re here to say we’re here and we’re checking it over.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harrison’s attorney, Kyle J. Humphrey, said his client was innocent, and that the diocese has kept him in the dark about the allegations and the investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What is there to investigate?” Humphrey asked. “Someone comes forward 25 or 30 years in time and says something happened, but we don’t know that it did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's possible people misremember things,” Humphrey said. “And it’s also possible that people need attention, that they have mental challenges, that they have addiction issues, that they’ve just had horrible lives and they have an opportunity to damage others and they get some satisfaction from it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked if Harrison has ever been accused of sexual misconduct, aside from the most recent allegations, Humphrey said he hadn’t heard of any allegations that would require him to have any involvement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A group of Bakersfield parishioners organized a prayer vigil to show support for Harrison after the most recent allegations were made public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/article229812029.html\">The Fresno Bee\u003c/a> reported that Harrison is the fifth priest in the Fresno Catholic Diocese to be investigated and placed on paid leave due to allegations of sexual and other misconduct in recent months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can’t think of another diocese the size of Fresno that has five men being investigated simultaneously in 2019,” McNevin said. “Oakland right now has two.

"content": "\u003cp>The defense in the trial of two men charged with 36 counts each of involuntary manslaughter in the deadly December 2016 Ghost Ship fire wrapped up opening statements Wednesday, reasserting that evidence will show arson was the cause of the blaze.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The East Oakland warehouse, nicknamed \"Ghost Ship,\" caught fire on the Friday evening of Dec 2, 2016, during an electronic music party, killing 35 concertgoers and one resident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='ghost-ship-trial' label='More Coverage of the Ghost Ship Trial']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Defense attorney Tony Serra, who represents master tenant Derick Almena, said witnesses will testify that people were seen fleeing from the building through a side entrance just before the fire started. The statements echoed those made Tuesday by defense attorney Curtis Briggs, who represents the other defendant, Max Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Serra said witnesses reported hearing \"popping,\" or breaking glass, in the area where the fire began in the rear of the warehouse on the first floor. Serra said evidence that will be presented is circumstantial, but that the popping could have been Molotov cocktails or bottles filled with gasoline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's no way my client could have predicted that,\" Serra said. \"There's nothing he could do to prevent that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investigators never determined the cause of the fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Serra also said Almena had made a number of improvements to the site, putting money made right back into the premises to make the building safe and secure. He said Almena installed a rear door in the warehouse, ran 100-foot garden hoses along both sides of the building in case of a fire, made an exit sign, required fire extinguishers and implemented a policy of \"no smoking, no candles and no incense.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alameda County prosecutor Casey Bates said Tuesday during opening statements that Almena and Harris, who is often referred to as second in command or creative director, had converted the commercial warehouse into a residential and performance space stuffed from floor to ceiling with flammable materials. Bates showed images of living spaces with walls made out of pianos or old doors and windows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bates said the Ghost Ship wasn't outfitted with the types of safety precautions required in such a converted warehouse, including sprinkler systems, fire alarms and well-lit, easily identifiable exits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bates said that as an arts space, people brought in wooden materials, solvents, paints, power tools and other equipment, making walls made out of non-traditional materials to create residential spaces. No sheetrock was used, which could have slowed a fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Serra also said Wednesday a number of agencies in the years leading up to the fire had passed through the building, including the Oakland Fire Department, Oakland Police Department, Alameda County Sheriff's Office and Child Protective Services. He said they had never found safety issues in the warehouse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And they never told him that it was a fire hazard,\" Serra said outside court. \"They never red-tagged him. They never gave him an eviction notice. They didn’t give him any kind of notice that said ... if you don’t fix this up, get out.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During his opening statement, Serra said that CPS had been in the building at least six times before the fire, and while they weren't experts in fire prevention, he said they were trained in areas of safety and security and hadn't mentioned any hazards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Serra also presented Almena as an individual not seeking profit, power or prestige at the Ghost Ship.

The statements echoed those made Tuesday by defense attorney Curtis Briggs, who represents the other defendant, Max Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Serra said witnesses reported hearing \"popping,\" or breaking glass, in the area where the fire began in the rear of the warehouse on the first floor. Serra said evidence that will be presented is circumstantial, but that the popping could have been Molotov cocktails or bottles filled with gasoline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's no way my client could have predicted that,\" Serra said. \"There's nothing he could do to prevent that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investigators never determined the cause of the fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Serra also said Almena had made a number of improvements to the site, putting money made right back into the premises to make the building safe and secure. He said Almena installed a rear door in the warehouse, ran 100-foot garden hoses along both sides of the building in case of a fire, made an exit sign, required fire extinguishers and implemented a policy of \"no smoking, no candles and no incense.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alameda County prosecutor Casey Bates said Tuesday during opening statements that Almena and Harris, who is often referred to as second in command or creative director, had converted the commercial warehouse into a residential and performance space stuffed from floor to ceiling with flammable materials. Bates showed images of living spaces with walls made out of pianos or old doors and windows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bates said the Ghost Ship wasn't outfitted with the types of safety precautions required in such a converted warehouse, including sprinkler systems, fire alarms and well-lit, easily identifiable exits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

No sheetrock was used, which could have slowed a fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Serra also said Wednesday a number of agencies in the years leading up to the fire had passed through the building, including the Oakland Fire Department, Oakland Police Department, Alameda County Sheriff's Office and Child Protective Services. He said they had never found safety issues in the warehouse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And they never told him that it was a fire hazard,\" Serra said outside court. \"They never red-tagged him.

The owners are not on trial. The people who threw the party on Dec. 2 are not on trial.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said at least three people will testify who say they saw several strangers flee the warehouse just before the fire, including one witness who said they saw seven to 10 Latino men in dark clothes running near the warehouse claiming they boasted of setting up a wooden obstruction in the building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bates outlined the case against master tenant Derick Almena and Harris, often described as Almena's \"second-in-command,\" saying they had converted the commercial warehouse into a residential and performance space stuffed from floor to ceiling with flammable materials. Bates showed images of living spaces with walls made out of pianos or old doors and windows used to mark off rooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bates said the Ghost Ship wasn't outfitted with the types of safety precautions required in such a converted warehouse, including sprinkler systems, fire alarms and well-lit, easily identifiable exits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bates said that as an arts space, people brought in wooden materials, solvents, paints, power tools and other equipment, creating walls made out of non-traditional materials to create residential spaces. No sheetrock was used, which could have slowed a fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Floor to ceiling, it was non-conventional flammable material throughout,\" Bates said. He said the only running water to the facility was supplied by a garden hose. He said there was one fire detector in one of the living spaces that no one heard the night of the fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bates said Almena discovered the warehouse on Craigslist in 2013 and co-signed for the building with Nicholas “Nico” Bouchard. But Bouchard quickly became concerned about alterations to the warehouse Almena had been making, Bates said. Bouchard moved out of the building within weeks and attempted to get out of the lease, which Eva Ng, the daughter of warehouse owner Chor Ng, wouldn’t allow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bates said Rodney Griffin, a construction worker, will testify that Almena ignored his advice on safety improvements, even after Griffin called the building a \"death trap.\" According to Bates, Almena told Griffin, \"We can do it better, cheaper,\" and hired an unlicensed contractor through Craigslist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bates said that in October 2015 Harris moved in and began acting as a manager and creative director, saying he collected rent, created leases, issued evictions and paid the rent to the landlords. He paid none of his own rent, Bates said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Briggs countered that the prosecution was trying to portray a hierarchical structure and that Harris was a second in command at the warehouse. But Briggs instead called Harris \"a Christ-like and Buddhistic figure.\" He called Harris a servant and not a boss — someone who performed janitorial task around the Ghost Ship cleaning dishes, mopping floors and patching holes in the roof. Briggs said the term “creative director,” sometimes used to describe Harris, came from a joke, but stuck with him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They [the prosecution] wants to turn him into a middleman,\" Briggs said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bates showed an image of a letter he said represented a sublease agreement between Harris, acting as an agent of Almena, with a tenant of the warehouse, in violation of the master lease's prohibition against residential use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also played video footage of Harris and Almena speaking with police officers, claiming no one had lived in the warehouse. \"Nobody lives here. We just build sets here,\" Almena says in a June 2015 clip. In another June 2015 clip Harris says, \"We work here. It's a 24-hour work studio.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bates said that by the night of the blaze, as many as 25 people could be living in the warehouse at any one time. Pointing to a map of the lower level of the warehouse, he said there were 13 different residential spaces on the first floor, along with five RVs parked inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said amps and other equipment blocked stairwells as people tried to flee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Bates played 911 tape for the court, he noted how quickly the warehouse was consumed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One witness, who will testify at a later date, called 911 approximately one minute after she caught notice of the blaze and fled. Her call lasted 53 seconds, indicating that within the span of one minute and 53 seconds, all 36 victims may have become trapped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Defense attorney Tony Serra, who represents Almena, is scheduled to deliver his opening statements Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

He paid none of his own rent, Bates said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Briggs countered that the prosecution was trying to portray a hierarchical structure and that Harris was a second in command at the warehouse. But Briggs instead called Harris \"a Christ-like and Buddhistic figure.\" He called Harris a servant and not a boss — someone who performed janitorial task around the Ghost Ship cleaning dishes, mopping floors and patching holes in the roof. Briggs said the term “creative director,” sometimes used to describe Harris, came from a joke, but stuck with him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They [the prosecution] wants to turn him into a middleman,\" Briggs said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bates showed an image of a letter he said represented a sublease agreement between Harris, acting as an agent of Almena, with a tenant of the warehouse, in violation of the master lease's prohibition against residential use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also played video footage of Harris and Almena speaking with police officers, claiming no one had lived in the warehouse. \"Nobody lives here. We just build sets here,\" Almena says in a June 2015 clip. In another June 2015 clip Harris says, \"We work here. It's a 24-hour work studio.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bates said that by the night of the blaze, as many as 25 people could be living in the warehouse at any one time. Pointing to a map of the lower level of the warehouse, he said there were 13 different residential spaces on the first floor, along with five RVs parked inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said amps and other equipment blocked stairwells as people tried to flee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Bates played 911 tape for the court, he noted how quickly the warehouse was consumed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One witness, who will testify at a later date, called 911 approximately one minute after she caught notice of the blaze and fled. Her call lasted 53 seconds, indicating that within the span of one minute and 53 seconds, all 36 victims may have become trapped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Defense attorney Tony Serra, who represents Almena, is scheduled to deliver his opening statements Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
