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>Updated Monday, April 6, 2:30 pm\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawyers for defendants in federal court in San Diego — including hundreds of migrants charged with illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border — said their clients are at imminent risk from coronavirus in jail, and they’ve issued an urgent call for defendants to be released on bail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Jails are uniquely dangerous settings for COVID-19,” wrote Kathryn Nester, executive director of the Federal Defenders of San Diego, in a letter this week to Sen. Kamala Harris. “A COVID-19 crisis in our jails will greatly exacerbate the pandemic in our communities,” the letter said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nester told Harris that the U.S. Attorney’s Office in San Diego has consistently denied requests by defense attorneys to agree to bail for people charged with non-violent offenses, in spite of the risk of COVID-19 transmission in the region’s three federal detention facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She asked the senator to pressure the U.S. Justice Department to release inmates awaiting trial and to take legislative action to speed up “the immediate release of as many inmates as possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The call comes as coronavirus begins to surge through jails and prisons around the country, including 167 cases in Chicago’s Cook County Jail as of Thursday, and more than 239 at Riker’s Island in New York City by Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California prison officials announced plans this week to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11810000/state-prisons-plan-early-release-of-3500-inmates-to-combat-coronavirus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">release almost 3,500 inmates\u003c/a> early to combat the spread of coronavirus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And sheriffs in the Bay Area and beyond have also begun releasing some low-level inmates.

In California, lawyers have \u003ca href=\"https://www.themarshallproject.org/documents/6823406-Ortu%C3%B1o-et-al-v-ICE-habeas-corpus-petition\">filed suit in federal court\u003c/a> seeking the release of 13 immigrant detainees who have chronic medical conditions and would be at high risk if they contract the novel coronavirus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11810085\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11810085\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/2000x-e1585769177827.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1418\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Salomón Medina-Calderón, 56, who is being held at the Yuba County Jail, is one of 13 detainees suing ICE for their release due to the risk of the coronavirus. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Guadalupe Medina)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Salomón Medina-Calderón is one of the immigrants named in the lawsuit filed against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) by the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California and other legal advocacy groups. Born in Mexico, he’s raised six children over his three decades in the U.S. At 56 years old, Medina-Calderón is nearly blind and has diabetes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do not want to die somewhere like this, in an ICE detention center,” he said in Spanish. “My wish is, for (my) last moments — days or years, I don't know, it depends — to be with my family, to have an end close to my family.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s being held in the Yuba County Jail, one of two immigration detention facilities in California cited in the lawsuit. The jail is in Marysville, about 40 miles north of Sacramento. It’s a blocky, beige facility holding both county jail inmates and nearly 150 immigrant detainees on Wednesday, according to ICE. There are 50 men in Medina-Calderón’s unit, according to Sgt. Jeff Palmer at the Yuba County Jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In here, it’s a ticking time bomb,” Medina-Calderón said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He described poor conditions in the facility including bad ventilation and a lack of soap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They just said, ‘Here, we’re leaving you with soap so that you clean your hands more frequently,’ ” said Medina-Calderón. “But that was two days ago today, and it was just two little bars of soap for 50 people. They were gone in a matter of hours.” [aside tag=\"immigration\" label=\"related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE provided a statement saying that soap and paper towels are available in all facilities and that it is following CDC guidelines. At the jail, Palmer said, “We have bars of soap we hand out to them on request.” The sergeant said he could not confirm specific sanitary protection measures in relation to the COVID-19 virus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Medina-Calderón has been in detention for more than a year while his daughter Guadalupe Medina petitions for his green card. Now Medina, who’s a U.S. citizen and a high school English teacher, is fighting for her father’s immediate release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every day I wake up thinking about him. Was he able to wash his hands? Are there any other inmates in there that are starting to have symptoms? The fact that we cannot do anything for him, it creates a lot of stress,” she said. “Every time he calls I wonder, is this the last time I’ll actually be speaking to my dad?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hayden Rodarte, of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay Area, is one of the lawyers suing on behalf of Medina-Calderón and the other detainees. Rodarte fears they’ve run out of time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think our chief concern is that it’s already too late. As the scenario gets worse and worse around the country, individuals will die, and the risk is higher for these individuals,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The coronavirus has so far not been reported in ICE facilities in California, but people held in other parts of the country are just as frightened as Medina-Calderón.

I don’t feel I deserve to die here.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Tuesday night, ICE said \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/coronavirus\">four people in its custody had tested positive for COVID-19\u003c/a>, all in New Jersey. At one jail, in Essex County, at least two guards and one ICE detainee have the virus, the agency said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s almost impossible to have social distancing since the beds are separated by one foot and a half,” said David, a detainee being held in New Jersey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David asked not to use his last name for fear of retribution from ICE.

In California, lawyers have \u003ca href=\"https://www.themarshallproject.org/documents/6823406-Ortu%C3%B1o-et-al-v-ICE-habeas-corpus-petition\">filed suit in federal court\u003c/a> seeking the release of 13 immigrant detainees who have chronic medical conditions and would be at high risk if they contract the novel coronavirus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11810085\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11810085\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/2000x-e1585769177827.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1418\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Salomón Medina-Calderón, 56, who is being held at the Yuba County Jail, is one of 13 detainees suing ICE for their release due to the risk of the coronavirus. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Guadalupe Medina)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Salomón Medina-Calderón is one of the immigrants named in the lawsuit filed against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) by the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California and other legal advocacy groups. Born in Mexico, he’s raised six children over his three decades in the U.S. At 56 years old, Medina-Calderón is nearly blind and has diabetes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do not want to die somewhere like this, in an ICE detention center,” he said in Spanish. “My wish is, for (my) last moments — days or years, I don't know, it depends — to be with my family, to have an end close to my family.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s being held in the Yuba County Jail, one of two immigration detention facilities in California cited in the lawsuit. The jail is in Marysville, about 40 miles north of Sacramento. It’s a blocky, beige facility holding both county jail inmates and nearly 150 immigrant detainees on Wednesday, according to ICE. There are 50 men in Medina-Calderón’s unit, according to Sgt. Jeff Palmer at the Yuba County Jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Was he able to wash his hands? Are there any other inmates in there that are starting to have symptoms? The fact that we cannot do anything for him, it creates a lot of stress,” she said. “Every time he calls I wonder, is this the last time I’ll actually be speaking to my dad?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hayden Rodarte, of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay Area, is one of the lawyers suing on behalf of Medina-Calderón and the other detainees.

Gavin Newsom that purports to suspend evictions statewide\u003c/a>, calling it useless and misleading.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom announced the moratorium on Friday, saying it would provide relief to tenants who have been laid off, furloughed or seen their hours slashed while the state grapples with the coronavirus pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Today we just established a new overlay for the state of California that denies the capacity for enforcement and court proceedings for any eviction through May 31,” Newsom said Friday. “So for tenants, through May 31, there will be no eviction proceedings, there will be no enforcement as it relates to inability to pay for COVID-19.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But eviction defense attorneys say it doesn’t do any of those things. Brian Augusta, an attorney with the California Rural Legal Assistance Foundation, says it instead creates chaos in the courts and causes unnecessary confusion for workers who've been asked to stay at home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"State Sen. Scott Wiener\"]'Millions of Californians are struggling during the greatest economic dislocation in nearly a century. They deserve a complete moratorium on evictions ... so that they can focus on health and health only.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 1 million new unemployment claims were filed in California between March 13 and March 25, Newsom said Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It doesn’t do anything,” Augusta said. “I’m really disappointed in the scope of this order.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although it’s being billed as a moratorium on evictions, the order only delays a tenant's legal window for responding in court – allowing them 60 days to respond, rather than five days – when a landlord files an eviction. It doesn’t stop new evictions from being filed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the extended time is only allowed if certain conditions apply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tenants must provide documentation proving they were unable to pay rent because they’ve contracted COVID-19 or were caring for someone who has, have lost wages due to the statewide shelter-in-place order or had to miss work to care for a child who is no longer in school or daycare. Evictions unrelated to COVID-19, such as owner-move-in under the Ellis Act or for any breach of the lease unrelated to rent payments, would still be allowed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jackie Zaneri, an attorney with the Oakland-based nonprofit Centro Legal de la Raza called the order “entirely useless” for tenants and tenant advocates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is going to mislead people,” Zaneri said. “People are going to think that they are protected when they are not.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She added, “No one is protected by this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if a tenant does provide the required documentation, they still have to go to court to prove they meet the conditions, said Silvana Naguib, a supervising staff attorney with the Los Angeles-based pro bono law firm, Public Counsel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Otherwise, how is the court going to determine you meet that criteria?” she said. “You have to show that you notified your landlord, that you provided documentation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the tenant doesn’t show up in court, the judge must issue a default order, which means the landlord can move forward with the eviction. When that happens, a notice is sent to the sheriff’s department, telling the sheriff to enforce the eviction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor’s order says sheriff’s departments shouldn’t evict anyone protected from the order, but again, Naguib says it places the burden on the sheriff to determine who meets the criteria for protection and who doesn’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Naguib says even if the tenant is able to repay the rent on April 15, for example, rather than April 1 when it was due, he or she can still be evicted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Any failure to timely pay rent is still grounds for an eviction” she said. “So nothing in this order prevents them from being evicted come June 1.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Coronavirus Coverage' tag='coronavirus']Jesse Melgar, a spokesman for Newsom's office, defended the governor's order, saying it would immediately provide relief to renters in cities and counties around the state where local leaders have not implemented their own moratoriums.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These protections provide a strong, statewide foundation that cities can build upon,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friday’s order won’t override \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11809099/a-guide-to-bay-area-eviction-moratoriums-during-the-coronavirus-crisis\">any measures that cities or counties have already enacted\u003c/a> or could enact in the future that offer tenants more protections from evictions. Since the coronavirus outbreak, some 30 jurisdictions have enacted moratoriums on evictions, including in Oakland, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sanjoseca.gov/your-government/departments-offices/housing/eviction-moratorium\">San Jose\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://sf.gov/sites/default/files/2020-03/032320_FifthSupplement.pdf\">San Francisco\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the moratoriums vary in what they cover and who is protected – creating a patchwork approach that tenants organizations had hoped to eliminate with a single, statewide policy. Other states, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.governor.wa.gov/sites/default/files/proclamations/20-19%20-%20COVID-19%20Moratorium%20on%20Evictions%20%28tmp%29.pdf\">Washington\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://governor.maryland.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Executive-Order-Temp-Evictions-Prohibiting.pdf\">Maryland\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.governor.ny.gov/sites/governor.ny.gov/files/atoms/files/EO_202.8.pdf\">New York\u003c/a>, have passed bans on residential evictions and foreclosures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/DavidChiu/status/1242899438206504960?s=20\">a coalition of 38 lawmakers sent a letter to Newsom\u003c/a> urging him to issue a prohibition on all evictions, unless the tenant poses a serious threat to health or safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, said Friday that the governor’s order fell short of their request, adding that it will likely lead to a wave of evictions immediately after the emergency ends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Millions of Californians are struggling during the greatest economic dislocation in nearly a century,” \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/Scott_Wiener/status/1243656043667656705?s=20\">Wiener said in a statement\u003c/a>. “They deserve a complete moratorium on evictions during this emergency, so that they can focus on health and health only.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kim Burrafato, 67, is a barista at the popular Caffe Trieste in San Francisco’s North Beach.

"content": "\u003cp>San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin called on Gov. Gavin Newsom Thursday to use his executive authority to shut down federal immigration detention centers in California to protect public health during the coronavirus pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The call came amid a growing outcry by medical experts, immigrant advocates and a former director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) over the potential danger of COVID-19 in ICE detention facilities. And it followed a lawsuit filed by 13 medically vulnerable detained immigrants in California, calling on ICE to release them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also Thursday, U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein released a \u003ca href=\"https://www.feinstein.senate.gov/public/_cache/files/0/9/0979f829-5357-4445-bb38-b98f47830583/280AF56FBFEB41A5FBAD5C414F21993E.2020.03.25-doj-immigration-courts.pdf\">letter\u003c/a> she sent to Attorney General William Barr, calling for the U.S. Department of Justice to suspend all immigration court hearings during the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boudin said San Francisco has safely reduced its jail population by 25 percent over the past three weeks. And he said releasing some of the 38,000 people currently detained by ICE nationwide should be easier because immigration custody is a form of civil, not criminal, detention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When someone dies in immigration detention, their blood will be on our hands,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boudin said he believes Newsom could use an executive order to ban the use of private detention centers. Four ICE facilities in California are operated by private prison companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also called on the governor to order state prisons to stop handing over inmates to ICE, adding that California prisons hold approximately 11,000 people who, under current policy, will be handed over to ICE after they have served their criminal sentences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s a huge pipeline of people whose lives are being jeopardized during the coronavirus pandemic,” said Boudin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s press secretary Vicky Waters would not comment on whether the governor would consider such steps, but she said in a statement: “The federal government has exclusive authority over immigration law, but as we continue to grapple with the COVID-19 outbreak, we want everyone in the state to know that their health and welfare is our top priority.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='left' citation=\"Chesa Boudin, San Francisco District Attorney\"]'That’s a huge pipeline of people whose lives are being jeopardized during the coronavirus pandemic.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, advocates in California and across the country voiced concern that an outbreak of COVID-19 inside any of the nation’s 138 ICE detention facilities could affect not just the immigrants and staff inside, but also the families and communities that ICE employees return to at the end of their shifts, and the hospitals where patients from ICE facilities would be taken for care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Thursday evening, ICE \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/covid19\">reported\u003c/a> two confirmed cases of COVID-19 among people held in detention in Newark and Hackensack, New Jersey. Three employees at ICE detention facilities also had confirmed cases — in Elizabeth, New Jersey, Aurora, Colorado and Houston, Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Crowded detention facilities are ideal incubators for disease, threatening the health not just of the detained, but of surrounding communities,” said Sandro Galea, dean of the Boston University School of Public Health. “To safeguard public health, nonviolent detainees should be released and allowed to self-isolate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That proposal was echoed by John Sandweg, a former acting director of ICE who served under President Barack Obama.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The design of these facilities requires inmates to remain in close contact with one another — the opposite of the social distancing now recommended for stopping the spread of the lethal coronavirus,” Sandweg wrote in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/release-ice-detainees/608536/\">column\u003c/a> in The Atlantic earlier this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"More Coverage\" tag=\"coronavirus\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By releasing from custody the thousands of detainees who pose no threat to public safety and do not constitute an unmanageable flight risk, ICE can reduce the overcrowding of its detention centers, and thus make them safer,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Infectious diseases have surged through ICE detention centers in the past, including an outbreak of mumps last year that sickened more than 900 inmates and staff at 57 facilities, \u003ca href=\"https://www.businessinsider.com/mumps-sickens-hundreds-of-detained-migrants-in-19-states-2019-8\">according to the Associated Press\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Detention Watch Network, an advocacy group for immigrants in ICE custody, called for the immediate release of all detained immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fearing coronavirus infection, 13 detained immigrants in California \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclunc.org/sites/default/files/Demands_ICE_Release_Immigrants_2020.03.24.pdf\">filed suit\u003c/a> against ICE last week in federal district court in San Francisco. The detainees are held in Yuba County Jail, in Marysville, and the Mesa Verde ICE Processing Facility, a private prison in Bakersfield operated by the GEO Group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plaintiffs called on ICE to release them because of their advanced age and underlying medical conditions — which they believe puts them at risk of death if they contract COVID-19. They said they are being held in crowded and unsanitary conditions where they are denied the ability to protect themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One plaintiff, Sofia Bahena Ortuno, a 64-year-old farmworker and grandmother who said she suffers from hypothyroidism and diabetes, was released the same day the lawsuit was filed, according to her lawyers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union, along with the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights, the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office and Lakin & Wille, LLP. In recent days the ACLU has also brought suit on behalf of ICE detainees in Washington state, Massachusetts, Maryland and Pennsylvania.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE officials would not comment on the lawsuit or speak on the record about the fear among detainees and their advocates of COVID-19 outbreaks in detention. An ICE spokesman directed KQED to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/covid19\">agency's coronavirus webpage\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The website states that “ICE epidemiologists have been tracking the outbreak, regularly updating infection prevention and control protocols, and issuing guidance to ICE Health Service Corps (IHSC) staff for the screening and management of potential exposure among detainees.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE has suspended visits by friends and family members and “is actively working with state and local health partners to determine if any detainee requires additional testing or monitoring to combat the spread of the virus,” the website said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='left' citation=\"Sen.

Gavin Newsom Thursday to use his executive authority to shut down federal immigration detention centers in California to protect public health during the coronavirus pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The call came amid a growing outcry by medical experts, immigrant advocates and a former director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) over the potential danger of COVID-19 in ICE detention facilities. And it followed a lawsuit filed by 13 medically vulnerable detained immigrants in California, calling on ICE to release them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also Thursday, U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein released a \u003ca href=\"https://www.feinstein.senate.gov/public/_cache/files/0/9/0979f829-5357-4445-bb38-b98f47830583/280AF56FBFEB41A5FBAD5C414F21993E.2020.03.25-doj-immigration-courts.pdf\">letter\u003c/a> she sent to Attorney General William Barr, calling for the U.S. Department of Justice to suspend all immigration court hearings during the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boudin said San Francisco has safely reduced its jail population by 25 percent over the past three weeks. And he said releasing some of the 38,000 people currently detained by ICE nationwide should be easier because immigration custody is a form of civil, not criminal, detention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When someone dies in immigration detention, their blood will be on our hands,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They said they are being held in crowded and unsanitary conditions where they are denied the ability to protect themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One plaintiff, Sofia Bahena Ortuno, a 64-year-old farmworker and grandmother who said she suffers from hypothyroidism and diabetes, was released the same day the lawsuit was filed, according to her lawyers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union, along with the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights, the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office and Lakin & Wille, LLP.

It includes an agreement by the utility to spend as much as $15 million over the next five years to provide water to county residents impacted by the fire’s destruction of a canal in the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we’re looking at is a modicum of justice to the community for what has happened — just the horribleness of what happened to our community,” Butte County District Attorney Mike Ramsey said Monday after the plea agreement was announced. The indictment in the case remains under seal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This community has been through a great deal,” Ramsey added. ” … And it is our sincere hope that this rather extraordinary indictment and the even more extraordinary agreement to plead to 84 counts of manslaughter will send a clear message that this shall not happen again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E said it accepts responsibility for the catastrophe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We cannot change the devastation or ever forget the loss of life that occurred,” PG&E CEO Bill Johnson said in a written statement. ” … Our hope is that this plea agreement, along with our rebuilding efforts, will help the community move forward from this tragic incident.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the thousands of people who lost their homes said Monday she believes the guilty plea lets PG&E off the hook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We lost nearly everything,” said Patti Savage, who now lives in Chico. “Our town. Our belongings. Some of us our lives.
