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.",

He didn't really have to, given Judge Orrick's opening comments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Orrick said he did not believe Judge Reinhardt intended to keep the trial recordings permanently sealed, suggesting a motion to unseal them could be reconsidered in 2021, 10 years after the Proposition 8 trial decision went up to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the passage of time, and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/12pdf/12-307_6j37.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">legal resolution\u003c/a> of the same-sex marriage issue by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2013, Proposition 8 proponents argue that releasing the videotapes would \"increase the risk of harm to proponents and witnesses\" from LGBT rights supporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They also argue that ignoring the earlier promise to keep the recordings sealed \"would cause tangible harm to our system of justice. Witness cooperation would be more difficult to obtain if the public were unable to trust promises about the broadcast of trial proceedings.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About a dozen LGBT advocates showed up for the hearing to support unsealing the recordings. One of them was Ryan Kendall, who testified during the trial about the damage done to him by so-called reparative therapy that falsely claims to \"convert\" sexual orientation from gay to straight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When I walked into that courtroom seven years ago, it was with a full expectation that it would eventually be broadcast,\" Kendall said after the hearing on Wednesday. \"Clearly I think this is a matter of great public importance and that it would only benefit individuals and families and protect children by letting people see my testimony in particular and the testimony of this case in general.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kendall said he hopes the court will consider releasing parts of the trial testimony, while maintaining a seal on testimony from witnesses who testified in support of California's same-sex marriage ban, if that's what those witnesses want.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We need to change everyone’s hearts and minds so that people are no longer targeted for being gay, tortured for being gay, murdered for being trans or gay,\" he said. \"These things happen in the real world, and we’re not fighting for tapes, we’re fighting for lives.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have nothing to fear from the truth,\" Kendall added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Support for same-sex marriage throughout the U.S. has grown dramatically in recent years, according to the results of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.people-press.org/2017/06/26/support-for-same-sex-marriage-grows-even-among-groups-that-had-been-skeptical/?utm_source=Pew+Research+Center&utm_campaign=1f473c5639-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_06_28&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_3e953b9b70-1f473c5639-399366821\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pew Research Center survey\u003c/a> published this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Scott Shafer filed a declaration in support of KQED's motion.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Cisneros said he was shocked to learn what happens when friends and family members of those arrested go to a bail bond agent to post bail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There, they pay 10 percent deposit on their bail amount, and that deposit is not deposit, it's a nonrefundable fee that they forever have to pay, even if just a few days later the charges are dropped, even if they meet all their court appearance requirements, even maybe if they are found innocent -- that 10 percent deposit is forever gone,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, the average bail is set at $50,000, meaning that the 10 percent fee is around $5,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"With a lot of low-income families, $500 can be a lot to come up with -- so $5,000? Particularly $5,000 they are never going to see again, because it's nonrefundable, is a very heavy hit,\" Cisneros said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[bailAmounts]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report suggests a slew of recommendations, some of which are already underway, including investing more money in programs that let people await trial outside jail and creating a regulatory system to better oversee the bail industry. Supervisor Hillary Ronen said she is drafting that legislation now, and today will hold a hearing to examine the report and what San Francisco can do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said the bail system is predicated on a promise to protect public safety -- but it’s not doing that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It just allows people with means to buy their freedom, and poor people to get even deeper into the hole, by having to pay these large nonrefundable fees to the bail industry. And the people who are paying those fees are nine times out of 10 women,\" Ronen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of those women, she said, aren't accused of a crime -- they are trying to help a loved one. And, Ronen says, those women often end up on a payment plan that could last longer than that loved one’s court case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This issue impacts mothers, grandmothers, sisters, wives, granddaughters -- mostly women -- in one of the most vulnerable moments of their life, when a loved one is locked up,\" she said. \"The effects are profound, on their ability to stay in school, to provide food for their children.

Cisneros said he was shocked to learn what happens when friends and family members of those arrested go to a bail bond agent to post bail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There, they pay 10 percent deposit on their bail amount, and that deposit is not deposit, it's a nonrefundable fee that they forever have to pay, even if just a few days later the charges are dropped, even if they meet all their court appearance requirements, even maybe if they are found innocent -- that 10 percent deposit is forever gone,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, the average bail is set at $50,000, meaning that the 10 percent fee is around $5,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"With a lot of low-income families, $500 can be a lot to come up with -- so $5,000? Particularly $5,000 they are never going to see again, because it's nonrefundable, is a very heavy hit,\" Cisneros said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[bailAmounts]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report suggests a slew of recommendations, some of which are already underway, including investing more money in programs that let people await trial outside jail and creating a regulatory system to better oversee the bail industry. Supervisor Hillary Ronen said she is drafting that legislation now, and today will hold a hearing to examine the report and what San Francisco can do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said the bail system is predicated on a promise to protect public safety -- but it’s not doing that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It just allows people with means to buy their freedom, and poor people to get even deeper into the hole, by having to pay these large nonrefundable fees to the bail industry. And the people who are paying those fees are nine times out of 10 women,\" Ronen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of those women, she said, aren't accused of a crime -- they are trying to help a loved one. And, Ronen says, those women often end up on a payment plan that could last longer than that loved one’s court case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This issue impacts mothers, grandmothers, sisters, wives, granddaughters -- mostly women -- in one of the most vulnerable moments of their life, when a loved one is locked up,\" she said. \"The effects are profound, on their ability to stay in school, to provide food for their children. And, the level of shame they feel ... a common thread from the women telling me their experiences, is the incredible feeling of shame.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11535836\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11535836 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25857_0M6A3530-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25857_0M6A3530-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25857_0M6A3530-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25857_0M6A3530-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25857_0M6A3530-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25857_0M6A3530-qut-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25857_0M6A3530-qut-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25857_0M6A3530-qut-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25857_0M6A3530-qut-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25857_0M6A3530-qut-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An #EndMoneyBail sign posted on Cheryl Dison's wall. \u003ccite>(Serginho Roosblad/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Ronen said her legislation will create a licensing process for bail agents that operate in San Francisco -- and allow the city to collect more information about the debt collection agreements people sign with bail agents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another idea being explored by city leaders is the creation of a revolving debt fund that would act as a bail bond agent does now -- but give people back the 10 percent fee once their case is adjudicated. The report also recommends lowering the city's bail amounts, something set by the courts. And, it suggests adopting a text message reminder system for court appearances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cisneros said the bail report is part of a bigger push by his office and others to help low-income people improve their financial situation -- and make sure the city isn't adding to their woes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"All we’re saying is when a fine or fee is warranted, let's make sure we are right-sizing it, let's make sure that it's impacting people equally, depending upon the income they have,\" he said. \"So one of the things the Fines and Fees task force and our project is looking at is maybe introducing some kind of tool that gauges people's ability to pay -- maybe a fine for somebody making $20,000 a year should end up being a different dollar amount than somebody who makes $200,000 a year.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

At age 65 he lost his home in Madera, his car and his family. It’s been years since he’s seen his 10 grandchildren.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“I think it’s wrong. We risked our lives for Uncle Sam, and then for a little mistake we made in our lives and got in trouble with the police, they deport us right away. They don’t want us,” said de Leon, adding he became addicted to drugs and sold them\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> \u003c/span>to support his habit after his mother died and he couldn’t find a job.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">De Leon, who notes he was honorably discharged, is not alone. He is one of an estimated several thousand veterans expelled from the United States since 1996, when deportation of immigrants with certain convictions became mandatory, with no judicial discretion. It wasn’t until their deportations, after serving their time in jail or prison, that many of them realized they were not citizens.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Clad in black sweats and a Super Bowl T-shirt, de Leon sits on a metal folding chair in a place that’s become a second home to vets like him: the Deported Veterans Support House. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“They should give us a chance to go back,” he said, his voice loud and raspy. “We are not angels that came down from heaven. We all make mistakes.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Now state and federal lawmakers are trying to help them. The California Assembly this month approved \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB386\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">AB 386\u003c/span>\u003c/a>, which would direct the state to pay legal fees for certain deported veterans trying to return to the U.S. if they have a California connection—such as having been stationed at a California base, or having children attending school here. Nobody voted no on the Assembly floor, and the bill is expected to clear the state Senate.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11526402\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DEPORTED-VETS-Photo-3.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-large wp-image-11526402\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DEPORTED-VETS-Photo-3-1020x679.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DEPORTED-VETS-Photo-3-1020x679.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DEPORTED-VETS-Photo-3-160x106.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DEPORTED-VETS-Photo-3-800x532.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DEPORTED-VETS-Photo-3-1180x785.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DEPORTED-VETS-Photo-3-960x639.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DEPORTED-VETS-Photo-3-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DEPORTED-VETS-Photo-3-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DEPORTED-VETS-Photo-3-520x346.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DEPORTED-VETS-Photo-3.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Deported U.S. military veterans, Andrew De Leon, left, and Alejandro Gomez Cortez, chat at the Deported Veteran's Support House, where he is living, in Tijuana, Mexico. \u003ccite>(David Maung/CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">It’s unknown how much this would cost the state, but the bill states that legal aid would be\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> \u003c/span>subject to annual funding. Last week the Legislature sent Gov. Jerry Brown a budget that \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB89\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">includes\u003c/span>\u003c/a> $45 million for the legal defense of immigrants facing deportation. The bill sponsor, San Diego Democratic Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher, is pushing ahead with the legislation because it would explicitly state that deported veterans are eligible for that legal aid.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Immigrants who serve in the U.S. military are automatically eligible for citizenship, but to gain it they must complete the application process. The legal permanent residents— green card holders—say they mistakenly thought they received citizenship when they enlisted and took their military oaths. Others didn’t follow through with the paperwork during active duty.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Many of the veterans at the support house, started by deported former Army paratrooper Hector Barajas-Varela in 2013, have pinned their hopes on the California bill and federal efforts.

Mark Krikorian heads the Center for Immigration Studies, which advocates for strict immigration enforcement and limits on legal immigration. His position: Deported vets should not be let back in.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“They had a chance to become citizens on the fast track while in the service, and they chose not to take it, despite the military's hectoring green-card soldiers to get naturalized,” he said. “They're grown-ups and need to deal with the consequences of their actions.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Critics also see this as another move by California to go out of its way to protect immigrants since President Donald Trump took office.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“California does not have a legal defense fund for other veterans who find themselves in legal difficulties,” said Ira Mehlman, spokesman for the \u003ca href=\"http://www.fairus.org/about/staff\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">Federation for American Immigration Reform\u003c/span>\u003c/a>, an organization that advocates for strict immigration enforcement and limited immigration. “The infrastructure is crumbling and schools and hospitals are a mess but they seem to always have money, not just for veterans but for anybody illegally in the country.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">The U.S. military allows legal permanent residents who hold green cards to enlist, and about 5,000 of them do every year. The armed services also take \u003ca href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/09/25/policy-to-allow-undocumented-immigrants-in-military/16225135/\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">undocumented\u003c/span>\u003c/a> immigrants if they have certain skills. And during a draft, they will take any able-bodied person, including undocumented immigrants who are required by law to register for service.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Immigration authorities do not track how many veterans the federal government deports each year. But in the past two decades since the immigration \u003ca href=\"https://www.congress.gov/104/crpt/hrpt828/CRPT-104hrpt828.pdf\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">laws\u003c/span>\u003c/a> changed, the American Civil Liberties Union estimates some 3,000 veterans have been deported—many of them leaving behind children and partners.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“All of these folks served their time. They should not be serving a life sentence, and that is what they are serving with deportation,” said Jennie Pasquarella, director of immigrant rights for the ACLU of California. “They deserve the same second chance any other citizen would have that commits a crime.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">She added that nearly all of the deported veterans the ACLU has worked with through the support house, known as the Bunker, were legal permanent residents who arrived in the U.S. as children and enlisted when they were old enough.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">An ACLU \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclusandiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/DischargedThenDiscarded-ACLUofCA.pdf\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">report\u003c/span>\u003c/a> last year interviewed about 240 veterans deported to 34 countries. It states that in many cases “these were minor offenses committed by veterans who succumbed to the difficulties of readjusting to civilian life and paid their debt to society. Had they been naturalized, as they should have been after being honorably discharged, they would not have been forced to settle a second debt—lifetime banishment from the United States.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">The ACLU is working with the members of the Bunker, combing through their cases looking for legal recourse.

It’s a small space, part storefront, part apartment, on a quiet dusty side street about 15 minutes from the border. Draped in American and military flags, the office doubles as founder Barajas-Varela’s bunk. Cots are arranged upstairs for veterans who need a place to sleep after deportation. The house dog, a friendly brindle mutt, is named Boots.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Barajas-Varela is the backbone of the operation—he counsels other vets about their cases and welcomes film and news crews. He’s one of three vets who recently received a pardon from Brown, and he’s anxiously awaiting a federal decision on his citizenship application. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">He’s also tuned in to the fate of the California bill.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\"> “When you are deported no one cares about you,” he said. “For this legislation to be introduced is huge.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Barajas-Varela and his parents arrived in the U.S. from Mexico when he was 7. He grew up in Gardena and Compton and enlisted in the Army at age 17, going on to serve in the 82\u003c/span>\u003cspan class=\"s3\">\u003csup>nd\u003c/sup>\u003c/span>\u003cspan class=\"s1\"> Airborne until his honorable discharge in 2001 after six years of service.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“I wanted to join to get away from my neighborhood, because of the promises of education, citizenship, a career,” Barajas-Varela remembers. “I wanted to be a G.I. Joe and serve my country.” He said he presumed citizenship was automatic and only learned later that he needed to complete paperwork, when he was busy with assignments and jumping out of airplanes.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">The year after he left the Army he got in trouble, eventually pleading guilty to discharging a firearm into a vehicle. After nearly two years in jail, he was deported. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Within a few months he was back—starting a family and working in construction until a fender-bender led to police attention and ultimately banishment across the border.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">His daughter Lilliana was a preschooler then. Now she’s 11, talks to her dad via Skype and hasn’t seen him in nearly a year.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“I started with a little list of people,” he said about making contact with other vets. “When I first started I didn’t have a plan, except that if you were a deported veteran we said, ‘come and stay here with us.’”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“At the end of the day we are still American veterans, and we should be allowed to live in the country, and if we screw up again then we should go to jail,” Barajas-Varela said. “Some of the men get in trouble because of their military service. Everyone copes differently and they come back to environments that are unhealthy.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">The California bill will only help those who have an option under current laws, including a new one that allows people to apply to reclassify previous convictions. But for many ejected vets, legal defense won’t get them home, at least not until there is a federal change.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Last month, a congressional delegation led by Democratic Rep. Juan Vargas of San Diego visited the Bunker, garnering attention for federal bills that would\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> \u003c/span>prevent the deportation of veterans in the first place and give deported veterans access to medical care and the right to re-enter the U.S. to process citizenship papers.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“There’s just not a lot more that a state can do,” said Gonzalez Fletcher. “I’m hopeful we can get similar support in Washington to move on a federal level.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p4\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">\u003ca href=\"http://calmatters.org\">\u003ci>CALmatters.org\u003c/i>\u003c/a>\u003c/span>\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\u003ci> is a public interest journalism venture committed to explaining how California’s state Capitol works and why it matters.\u003c/i>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n",

At age 65 he lost his home in Madera, his car and his family. It’s been years since he’s seen his 10 grandchildren.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“I think it’s wrong. We risked our lives for Uncle Sam, and then for a little mistake we made in our lives and got in trouble with the police, they deport us right away. They don’t want us,” said de Leon, adding he became addicted to drugs and sold them\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> \u003c/span>to support his habit after his mother died and he couldn’t find a job.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">De Leon, who notes he was honorably discharged, is not alone. He is one of an estimated several thousand veterans expelled from the United States since 1996, when deportation of immigrants with certain convictions became mandatory, with no judicial discretion. It wasn’t until their deportations, after serving their time in jail or prison, that many of them realized they were not citizens.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Clad in black sweats and a Super Bowl T-shirt, de Leon sits on a metal folding chair in a place that’s become a second home to vets like him: the Deported Veterans Support House. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Last week the Legislature sent Gov. Jerry Brown a budget that \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB89\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">includes\u003c/span>\u003c/a> $45 million for the legal defense of immigrants facing deportation. The bill sponsor, San Diego Democratic Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher, is pushing ahead with the legislation because it would explicitly state that deported veterans are eligible for that legal aid.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Immigrants who serve in the U.S. military are automatically eligible for citizenship, but to gain it they must complete the application process. The legal permanent residents— green card holders—say they mistakenly thought they received citizenship when they enlisted and took their military oaths. Others didn’t follow through with the paperwork during active duty.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Many of the veterans at the support house, started by deported former Army paratrooper Hector Barajas-Varela in 2013, have pinned their hopes on the California bill and federal efforts. Otherwise, they don’t expect to return to California until they are dead—when they will be allowed to be buried with military honors in a U.S. cemetery.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">If Brown signs the bill it would be the first time any government aid has gone to individuals removed from the country.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“These are people who made a compact with the federal government—they were willing to give their life and fight for their country—and in exchange our military service said ‘you will be granted citizenship.’ And for whatever reason that didn’t happen,” Gonzalez Fletcher said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“To me, whatever crime they committed is irrelevant because we don’t deport people who commit crimes,” she said, “we deport people who aren’t U.S. citizens.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Although California is at the forefront of resistance to the Trump administration’s crackdown against undocumented immigrants, the Assemblywoman said her bill’s timing is coincidental. Many of the targeted vets were deported under previous administrations and attention to their plight has been building.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Gonzalez Fletcher said her husband, veteran and former state legislator Nathan Fletcher, had been leading an effort to persuade a Democratic White House to take action.

Mark Krikorian heads the Center for Immigration Studies, which advocates for strict immigration enforcement and limits on legal immigration. His position: Deported vets should not be let back in.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“They had a chance to become citizens on the fast track while in the service, and they chose not to take it, despite the military's hectoring green-card soldiers to get naturalized,” he said. “They're grown-ups and need to deal with the consequences of their actions.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Critics also see this as another move by California to go out of its way to protect immigrants since President Donald Trump took office.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“California does not have a legal defense fund for other veterans who find themselves in legal difficulties,” said Ira Mehlman, spokesman for the \u003ca href=\"http://www.fairus.org/about/staff\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">Federation for American Immigration Reform\u003c/span>\u003c/a>, an organization that advocates for strict immigration enforcement and limited immigration. “The infrastructure is crumbling and schools and hospitals are a mess but they seem to always have money, not just for veterans but for anybody illegally in the country.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">The U.S. military allows legal permanent residents who hold green cards to enlist, and about 5,000 of them do every year. The armed services also take \u003ca href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/09/25/policy-to-allow-undocumented-immigrants-in-military/16225135/\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">undocumented\u003c/span>\u003c/a> immigrants if they have certain skills. And during a draft, they will take any able-bodied person, including undocumented immigrants who are required by law to register for service.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Immigration authorities do not track how many veterans the federal government deports each year. But in the past two decades since the immigration \u003ca href=\"https://www.congress.gov/104/crpt/hrpt828/CRPT-104hrpt828.pdf\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">laws\u003c/span>\u003c/a> changed, the American Civil Liberties Union estimates some 3,000 veterans have been deported—many of them leaving behind children and partners.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“All of these folks served their time. They should not be serving a life sentence, and that is what they are serving with deportation,” said Jennie Pasquarella, director of immigrant rights for the ACLU of California. “They deserve the same second chance any other citizen would have that commits a crime.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">She added that nearly all of the deported veterans the ACLU has worked with through the support house, known as the Bunker, were legal permanent residents who arrived in the U.S. as children and enlisted when they were old enough.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">An ACLU \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclusandiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/DischargedThenDiscarded-ACLUofCA.pdf\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">report\u003c/span>\u003c/a> last year interviewed about 240 veterans deported to 34 countries. It states that in many cases “these were minor offenses committed by veterans who succumbed to the difficulties of readjusting to civilian life and paid their debt to society. Had they been naturalized, as they should have been after being honorably discharged, they would not have been forced to settle a second debt—lifetime banishment from the United States.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">The ACLU is working with the members of the Bunker, combing through their cases looking for legal recourse. Veterans may be eligible to expunge their record, reclassify their crime under current laws, appeal their deportation or apply for citizenship or visas that would allow them to return.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11526401\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DEPORTED-VETS-Photo-2.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-large wp-image-11526401\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DEPORTED-VETS-Photo-2-1020x1533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"962\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DEPORTED-VETS-Photo-2-1020x1533.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DEPORTED-VETS-Photo-2-160x240.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DEPORTED-VETS-Photo-2-800x1202.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DEPORTED-VETS-Photo-2-1920x2885.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DEPORTED-VETS-Photo-2-1180x1773.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DEPORTED-VETS-Photo-2-960x1443.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DEPORTED-VETS-Photo-2-240x361.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DEPORTED-VETS-Photo-2-375x564.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/DEPORTED-VETS-Photo-2-520x781.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alejandro Gomez Cortez, a deported U.S. military veteran, walks up a stairway at the Deported Veteran's Support House, in Tijuana, Mexico, on June 19, 2017. \u003ccite>(David Maung/CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">At the support house they call The Bunker, the veterans have created a community. It’s a small space, part storefront, part apartment, on a quiet dusty side street about 15 minutes from the border. Draped in American and military flags, the office doubles as founder Barajas-Varela’s bunk. Cots are arranged upstairs for veterans who need a place to sleep after deportation. The house dog, a friendly brindle mutt, is named Boots.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Barajas-Varela is the backbone of the operation—he counsels other vets about their cases and welcomes film and news crews. He’s one of three vets who recently received a pardon from Brown, and he’s anxiously awaiting a federal decision on his citizenship application. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">He’s also tuned in to the fate of the California bill.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\"> “When you are deported no one cares about you,” he said. “For this legislation to be introduced is huge.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Barajas-Varela and his parents arrived in the U.S. from Mexico when he was 7. He grew up in Gardena and Compton and enlisted in the Army at age 17, going on to serve in the 82\u003c/span>\u003cspan class=\"s3\">\u003csup>nd\u003c/sup>\u003c/span>\u003cspan class=\"s1\"> Airborne until his honorable discharge in 2001 after six years of service.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“I wanted to join to get away from my neighborhood, because of the promises of education, citizenship, a career,” Barajas-Varela remembers. “I wanted to be a G.I. Joe and serve my country.” He said he presumed citizenship was automatic and only learned later that he needed to complete paperwork, when he was busy with assignments and jumping out of airplanes.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">The year after he left the Army he got in trouble, eventually pleading guilty to discharging a firearm into a vehicle. After nearly two years in jail, he was deported. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Within a few months he was back—starting a family and working in construction until a fender-bender led to police attention and ultimately banishment across the border.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">His daughter Lilliana was a preschooler then. Now she’s 11, talks to her dad via Skype and hasn’t seen him in nearly a year.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“I started with a little list of people,” he said about making contact with other vets. “When I first started I didn’t have a plan, except that if you were a deported veteran we said, ‘come and stay here with us.’”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“At the end of the day we are still American veterans, and we should be allowed to live in the country, and if we screw up again then we should go to jail,” Barajas-Varela said. “Some of the men get in trouble because of their military service. Everyone copes differently and they come back to environments that are unhealthy.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">The California bill will only help those who have an option under current laws, including a new one that allows people to apply to reclassify previous convictions. But for many ejected vets, legal defense won’t get them home, at least not until there is a federal change.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Last month, a congressional delegation led by Democratic Rep. Juan Vargas of San Diego visited the Bunker, garnering attention for federal bills that would\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> \u003c/span>prevent the deportation of veterans in the first place and give deported veterans access to medical care and the right to re-enter the U.S. to process citizenship papers.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“There’s just not a lot more that a state can do,” said Gonzalez Fletcher. “I’m hopeful we can get similar support in Washington to move on a federal level.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
