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 is probably best known for his \u003ca href=\"http://www.pulitzer.org/winners/robert-schenkkan\">Pulitzer Prize\u003c/a>-winning saga, “The Kentucky Cycle,” and for screenwriting credits that include films like “The Quiet American” and 2016’s Academy Award-nominated “Hacksaw Ridge” — projects that typically have long gestation and production periods.

But it was written more as a warning, a cautionary tale that imagines what could happen if a man like Donald Trump actually became president and successfully carried out his most extreme immigration policies. But like many people, Schenkkan didn’t really think Trump would win.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike previous works like “The Kentucky Cycle” that require large ensemble casts, “Building the Wall” is the epitome of theater minimalism: one room, two characters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It only needed these two people,” says Schenkkan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11363979\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11363979\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/BUILDING-THE-WALL-ACTORS-2-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Bo Foxworth and Judith Moreland star in the L.A. staging of Building the Wall.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/BUILDING-THE-WALL-ACTORS-2-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/BUILDING-THE-WALL-ACTORS-2-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/BUILDING-THE-WALL-ACTORS-2-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/BUILDING-THE-WALL-ACTORS-2.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/BUILDING-THE-WALL-ACTORS-2-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/BUILDING-THE-WALL-ACTORS-2-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/BUILDING-THE-WALL-ACTORS-2-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/BUILDING-THE-WALL-ACTORS-2-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/BUILDING-THE-WALL-ACTORS-2-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bo Foxworth and Judith Moreland star in the L.A. staging of ‘Building the Wall.’ \u003ccite>(Ed Krieger / Fountain Theatre)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Out of that we feel an entire world of individuals caught up by events.

The atrocities are of historic proportion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Before this play is over we may still have some judgments, but we understand him in a very different way,” says director \u003ca href=\"http://www.bostoncourt.com/staff\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Michael Michetti. \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michetti jumped at the chance to work with a Robert Schenkkan script that he believes is so timely. He also says it’s not a partisan diatribe against Trump. It takes on themes of race, class and reconciliation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Robert gives a real voice to the people who we now know felt very underrepresented, and therefore they supported Trump’s candidacy and presidency,” says Michetti.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The character of Rick has to answer a very important question and that is: When is it time to say no?” says producer and Fountain Theatre artistic director \u003ca href=\"http://www.stephensachs.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stephen Sachs\u003c/a>. “When is it time to stand up and say, ‘I will not do this. I will not follow orders.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To make room for the play’s three-month run, the Fountain Theatre preempted another previously scheduled performance. The cast and staging, like the script, were assembled fast — in a matter of weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oh, it’s extraordinary,” says Sachs. “This does not happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the afternoon I visit the Fountain, the set is still being painted, actors deep in rehearsal. Schenkkan says it typically takes months, if not years, to take a work from the page to the stage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It will be too late by then! American theater today has to decide: Are we curating history or we going to make history? Are we going to be involved in what is happening right now?” asks Schenkkan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This play has been designed to be the first of what I hope will be many such new paradigms for the production and creation of responsive American theater.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Building the Wall” premieres this weekend at the Fountain Theatre in Hollywood. Theaters in five other U.S. cities will stage performances of their own as part of a “rolling premiere” in collaboration with the \u003ca href=\"http://nnpn.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">National New Play Network\u003c/a>. \u003cem> \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Building the Wall” is also due to be published in book form in April.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are now aggressively licensing the play to anyone who wants to do it. Whether they want to do a production or they want to do a reading, it doesn’t matter,” says Schenkkan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You want to do this play for 20 people in your living room?

He is probably best known for his \u003ca href=\"http://www.pulitzer.org/winners/robert-schenkkan\">Pulitzer Prize\u003c/a>-winning saga, “The Kentucky Cycle,” and for screenwriting credits that include films like “The Quiet American” and 2016’s Academy Award-nominated “Hacksaw Ridge” — projects that typically have long gestation and production periods.

But it was written more as a warning, a cautionary tale that imagines what could happen if a man like Donald Trump actually became president and successfully carried out his most extreme immigration policies. But like many people, Schenkkan didn’t really think Trump would win.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike previous works like “The Kentucky Cycle” that require large ensemble casts, “Building the Wall” is the epitome of theater minimalism: one room, two characters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It only needed these two people,” says Schenkkan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11363979\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11363979\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/BUILDING-THE-WALL-ACTORS-2-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Bo Foxworth and Judith Moreland star in the L.A. staging of Building the Wall.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/BUILDING-THE-WALL-ACTORS-2-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/BUILDING-THE-WALL-ACTORS-2-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/BUILDING-THE-WALL-ACTORS-2-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/BUILDING-THE-WALL-ACTORS-2.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/BUILDING-THE-WALL-ACTORS-2-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/BUILDING-THE-WALL-ACTORS-2-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/BUILDING-THE-WALL-ACTORS-2-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/BUILDING-THE-WALL-ACTORS-2-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/BUILDING-THE-WALL-ACTORS-2-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bo Foxworth and Judith Moreland star in the L.A. staging of ‘Building the Wall.’ \u003ccite>(Ed Krieger / Fountain Theatre)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Out of that we feel an entire world of individuals caught up by events.

The atrocities are of historic proportion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Before this play is over we may still have some judgments, but we understand him in a very different way,” says director \u003ca href=\"http://www.bostoncourt.com/staff\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Michael Michetti. \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michetti jumped at the chance to work with a Robert Schenkkan script that he believes is so timely. He also says it’s not a partisan diatribe against Trump. It takes on themes of race, class and reconciliation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Robert gives a real voice to the people who we now know felt very underrepresented, and therefore they supported Trump’s candidacy and presidency,” says Michetti.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The character of Rick has to answer a very important question and that is: When is it time to say no?” says producer and Fountain Theatre artistic director \u003ca href=\"http://www.stephensachs.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stephen Sachs\u003c/a>. “When is it time to stand up and say, ‘I will not do this. I will not follow orders.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To make room for the play’s three-month run, the Fountain Theatre preempted another previously scheduled performance. The cast and staging, like the script, were assembled fast — in a matter of weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oh, it’s extraordinary,” says Sachs. “This does not happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the afternoon I visit the Fountain, the set is still being painted, actors deep in rehearsal. Schenkkan says it typically takes months, if not years, to take a work from the page to the stage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It will be too late by then! American theater today has to decide: Are we curating history or we going to make history? Are we going to be involved in what is happening right now?” asks Schenkkan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This play has been designed to be the first of what I hope will be many such new paradigms for the production and creation of responsive American theater.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Building the Wall” premieres this weekend at the Fountain Theatre in Hollywood. Theaters in five other U.S. cities will stage performances of their own as part of a “rolling premiere” in collaboration with the \u003ca href=\"http://nnpn.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">National New Play Network\u003c/a>. \u003cem> \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Building the Wall” is also due to be published in book form in April.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are now aggressively licensing the play to anyone who wants to do it. Whether they want to do a production or they want to do a reading, it doesn’t matter,” says Schenkkan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You want to do this play for 20 people in your living room?

Before dawn that morning, two officers had knocked on the door. They said they were investigating a hit-and-run, and they asked to see Maguiber. (His attorney asked that we not use his last name until his immigration status is resolved.) He walked out to the driveway, while Yibi Heras, his wife, watched from the door.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was only after Maguiber took out his car registration that he realized the officers were Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, not local police, she said. There had been no hit-and-run. The agents handcuffed Maguiber and put him into their SUV.

His one offense (and the thing that may have put him on ICE’s radar) is a recent misdemeanor conviction for reckless driving. His lawyer believes that he may have come to ICE agents’ attention after he was booked or appeared in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That morning, Feb. 8, ICE agents took Maguiber to the West County Detention Facility, a county jail in Richmond, California. Like any other jail, its primary purpose is to hold people awaiting trial and inmates serving short sentences for low-level crimes. But Contra Costa County also rents 318 jail beds here to ICE. That makes the West County facility a small part of a vast and growing immigration detention system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE operates the largest federal detention system in the country. In 2015, it held almost twice as many people as the federal Bureau of Prisons, according to the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security. ICE runs its own detention centers in some parts of the country, but mostly it contracts out to private prison companies and local jails.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, 16 different jails and private prisons had contracts with ICE, and held 5,269 ICE detainees on a day in late 2016. Nationally, California holds the second-highest number of detainees, after Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s executive orders are meant to deter people from coming into the country illegally and discourage people like Maguiber, who was previously deported as a teenager, from returning again. Jessica Vaughan, director of \u003ca href=\"http://cis.org/\" target=\"_blank\">policy studies at the Center for Immigration Studies\u003c/a>, a think tank that favors restricting immigration, believes that Trump’s plan for stronger immigration enforcement will prevent people from returning to the United States illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was necessary to do these executive orders to let these government agencies do their job and do the job that Americans expect them to do, which is to enforce the immigration laws we have,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But many attorneys say it makes little sense to hold immigrants in prolonged detention. The vast majority, especially when they have an immigration lawyer, do appear for their day in immigration court as required, according to data from \u003ca href=\"http://trac.syr.edu/immigration/reports/438/\" target=\"_blank\">Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse\u003c/a> (known as TRAC) and a\u003ca href=\"http://scholarship.law.upenn.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=9502&context=penn_law_review\" target=\"_blank\"> study by the University of Pennsylvania Law Review\u003c/a>. And attorneys emphasize that immigration detention is not supposed to be punitive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s important to remember that these individuals are not serving time pursuant to a criminal conviction.

And, with President Trump’s heightened focus on deportation, these companies are seeing opportunities for expansion and profit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, the expansion began last year, as the Obama administration sought to respond to a continuing flow of children and families fleeing to the U.S. from Central America. \u003ca href=\"http://www.corecivic.com/\" target=\"_blank\">CoreCivic\u003c/a>, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.geogroup.com/\" target=\"_blank\">GEO Group\u003c/a> and Emerald Correctional Management signed contracts in 2016 to open more facilities for immigrant detainees, which will supply an additional 3,087 beds.\u003cbr>\n[contextly_sidebar id=”GHhn8ekEkX5x6qPzPdgcPMzGQ1K8wnqK”]\u003cbr>\n“Our financial performance in the fourth quarter of 2016 was well above our initial forecast due, in large part, to heightened utilization by ICE across the portfolio,” CoreCivic CEO Damon Hininger told shareholders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in February, executives at the two largest companies, CoreCivic and GEO Group, told their shareholders that they had many empty beds nationally — totaling 13,700 — into which ICE could move detainees immediately. (Roughly 500 of those beds are in California.) A vacant 3,000-bed detention center in Texas, owned by Management and Training Corp., could also reopen for ICE.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One reason bed space is available is that the federal government last year determined that private prisons had inferior safety and security, and began phasing out their use. Three private prison companies currently hold contracts with the U.S. Bureau of Prisons for 27,000 beds — 2,200 of those are in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump Justice Department \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/02/23/516916688/private-prisons-back-in-mix-for-federal-inmates-as-sessions-rescinds-order\" target=\"_blank\">has since rescinded\u003c/a> the Obama administration’s decision not to use private prisons for federal inmates. But the number of federal inmates held in private prisons has been declining in recent years, so some of those beds could still become available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some advocates question why prisons that were found to be substandard for federal prisoners can be considered safe for immigrant detainees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is [for-profit companies’] desperate interest to keep costs as low as possible, and they do that by skimping on food, on health care, on mental health care and anything else so that they can maximize their profits for every individual detained,” said Gilman, of the University of Texas Law School.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2012, three people have died while detained at the Adelanto Correctional Facility, run by GEO Group in San Bernardino, California. \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3480649-adelantoCorrectionalFac-Adelanto-CA-Sept-18-20.html\" target=\"_blank\">ICE investigators\u003c/a> found problems at the facility, including health care delays, poor record keeping, bad communication between staff and failures to properly report sexual assaults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3480650-Ddr-Morales.html\" target=\"_blank\">federal investigation\u003c/a> into one of the California deaths, inspectors noted that the person who died had waited more than a year to see a specialist, that the high turnover of medical staff led to inadequate care and that a dearth of laboratory services led to delays in treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last fall, after the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/08/18/490498158/justice-department-will-phase-out-its-use-of-private-prisons\" target=\"_blank\">Bureau of Prisons decided\u003c/a> to stop using private prisons, Homeland Security officials asked an advisory council composed of government officials, attorneys, advocates and private prison executives to examine ICE’s reliance on private prisons. The \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3480651-DHS-HSAC-PIDF-Final-Report.html\" target=\"_blank\">council’s report concluded\u003c/a> that despite problems with private, for-profit detention, DHS must continue to rely on it to control costs and “handle sudden increases in detention.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But about three-quarters of the members who approved the report took issue with that central recommendation. In a dissenting opinion they said the review showed conditions in private prisons were inferior to ICE-run detention, and suggested shifting away from a private prison model. The dissenters also encouraged further investigation to find “the most effective and humane approach,” to detention, including looking at alternatives to physically jailing people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;\">Where Were People Detained in Fiscal Year 2016?\u003c/span>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"520\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https://kqednews.carto.com/builder/9cb4f780-827c-412a-96f1-d29ccf160b1b/embed\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\">Data from ICE.

And, despite the council’s recommendation to avoid them, ICE is likely to rely more heavily on jails, as it seeks to lock up more people in the deportation process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would expect them to also look at expanding capacity by using space that’s not currently used in local jails that are already inspected and certified by ICE to be appropriate for immigration detention,” said Vaughan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A greater expansion into jails is likely to take place in many states, but California, in particular, has plenty of available jail beds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California county jails with ICE contracts had, on average, nearly 2,500 open beds in 2015, but ICE had specifically contracted only for 530 of them, according to data from ICE and the state agency that regulates county jails. That doesn’t include open jail beds in local cities with ICE contracts, including Glendale, Pomona and Alhambra.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, California is likely to have more jail space sitting empty soon. That’s because a 2012 criminal justice reform known as “realignment” gave counties money to expand their jails so they could accept some inmates from state prisons. Then, just as that building boom got underway, voters passed a measure in 2014 that reduced penalties for some crimes and led to a decrease of 9,000 inmates. So California counties are in the process of adding an estimated 10,000 beds, just as their jail populations are declining.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-agxRB\" src=\"//datawrapper.dwcdn.net/agxRB/8/\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"webkitallowfullscreen\" mozallowfullscreen=\"mozallowfullscreen\" oallowfullscreen=\"oallowfullscreen\" msallowfullscreen=\"msallowfullscreen\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\">\u003c/iframe>\u003cscript type=\"text/javascript\">if(\"undefined\"==typeof window.datawrapper)window.datawrapper={};window.datawrapper[\"agxRB\"]={},window.datawrapper[\"agxRB\"].embedDeltas={\"100\":1212,\"200\":829,\"300\":689,\"400\":675,\"500\":600,\"600\":600,\"700\":586,\"800\":586,\"900\":586,\"1000\":586},window.datawrapper[\"agxRB\"].iframe=document.getElementById(\"datawrapper-chart-agxRB\"),window.datawrapper[\"agxRB\"].iframe.style.height=window.datawrapper[\"agxRB\"].embedDeltas[Math.min(1e3,Math.max(100*Math.floor(window.datawrapper[\"agxRB\"].iframe.offsetWidth/100),100))]+\"px\",window.addEventListener(\"message\",function(a){if(\"undefined\"!=typeof a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"])for(var b in a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"])if(\"agxRB\"==b)window.datawrapper[\"agxRB\"].iframe.style.height=a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"][b]+\"px\"});\u003c/script>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.6255em;\">Lisa Pickoff-White/KQED\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some local counties say they depend financially on their contracts with ICE.

It was formerly applied only to unauthorized immigrants encountered within 100 miles of the border who had been in the country less than two weeks. Recently, Kelly expanded expedited removal to include people caught by agents anywhere in the United States who cannot prove that they have been in the country at least two years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Expedited removal would not apply to the majority of people living in the country illegally. The Pew Research Center estimates that two-thirds of the estimated 11.1 million undocumented people in the United States have been here for more than a decade. Maguiber is one of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another reason that the Trump administration may be increasing expedited removals is to save money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homeland Security is already budgeted to spend $2.6 billion a year on ICE detention. Congress would have to appropriate more to expand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mary Small, the policy director for Detention Watch Network, says that Congress has a track record of paying for this type of enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For the entirety of the Obama administration, Congress gave ICE more money than the president asked for in the president’s budget,” Small said. “There is a real willingness to throw large amounts of money at locking immigrants up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vaughan believes that while the initial cost to carry out Trump’s policies may be high, over time it will deter illegal immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When people get the message that you’re not necessarily home free if you make it to the United States,” she said, “I think it’s pretty clear fewer people are going to come here illegally.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, she says, people who are already here illegally may think about going home — when faced with these tougher consequences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Maguiber is ready to fight to stay in the country. His father named him after the hero of the 1980s TV show, “MacGyver,” that was popular across Latin America. Angus MacGyver was famous for his knack at getting himself out of tricky situations. Maguiber’s family isn’t looking for him to bust out of jail like an action hero, but they are hoping he’ll find a way out of this bind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was edited by Tyche Hendricks.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

On one typical day in November, 40,875 people in the United States were being held in detention — though ICE is budgeted for just \u003ca href=\"https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/FY_2016_DHS_Budget_in_Brief.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">34,000 detention beds\u003c/a>, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement data.

His one offense (and the thing that may have put him on ICE’s radar) is a recent misdemeanor conviction for reckless driving. His lawyer believes that he may have come to ICE agents’ attention after he was booked or appeared in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That morning, Feb. 8, ICE agents took Maguiber to the West County Detention Facility, a county jail in Richmond, California. Like any other jail, its primary purpose is to hold people awaiting trial and inmates serving short sentences for low-level crimes. But Contra Costa County also rents 318 jail beds here to ICE. That makes the West County facility a small part of a vast and growing immigration detention system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE operates the largest federal detention system in the country. In 2015, it held almost twice as many people as the federal Bureau of Prisons, according to the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security. ICE runs its own detention centers in some parts of the country, but mostly it contracts out to private prison companies and local jails.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, 16 different jails and private prisons had contracts with ICE, and held 5,269 ICE detainees on a day in late 2016. Nationally, California holds the second-highest number of detainees, after Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s executive orders are meant to deter people from coming into the country illegally and discourage people like Maguiber, who was previously deported as a teenager, from returning again. Jessica Vaughan, director of \u003ca href=\"http://cis.org/\" target=\"_blank\">policy studies at the Center for Immigration Studies\u003c/a>, a think tank that favors restricting immigration, believes that Trump’s plan for stronger immigration enforcement will prevent people from returning to the United States illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was necessary to do these executive orders to let these government agencies do their job and do the job that Americans expect them to do, which is to enforce the immigration laws we have,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But many attorneys say it makes little sense to hold immigrants in prolonged detention. The vast majority, especially when they have an immigration lawyer, do appear for their day in immigration court as required, according to data from \u003ca href=\"http://trac.syr.edu/immigration/reports/438/\" target=\"_blank\">Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse\u003c/a> (known as TRAC) and a\u003ca href=\"http://scholarship.law.upenn.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=9502&context=penn_law_review\" target=\"_blank\"> study by the University of Pennsylvania Law Review\u003c/a>. And attorneys emphasize that immigration detention is not supposed to be punitive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s important to remember that these individuals are not serving time pursuant to a criminal conviction. Most of them have absolutely no criminal history at all,” said Denise L. Gilman, who directs the \u003ca href=\"https://law.utexas.edu/clinics/immigration/\" target=\"_blank\">Immigration Clinic\u003c/a> at the \u003ca href=\"https://law.ucdavis.edu/\" target=\"_blank\">University of Texas Law School\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yibi Heras says her husband is not a criminal. “Like all of us, he has made mistakes,” she said. “But he’s not dangerous.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heras is working hard to keep life as normal as possible for her children. Maguiber manages to call from jail almost every day, but the children are confused about why he can’t video chat with them as he used to do between his jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heras said her 4-year-old daughter, Gabriela, asked to move in with her father recently, saying she was ready to go as soon as she gathered up her toys.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11342683\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS24471_ICE_4-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11342683\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS24471_ICE_4-qut-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Maguiber lived in the United States for more than 10 years.

And, with President Trump’s heightened focus on deportation, these companies are seeing opportunities for expansion and profit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, the expansion began last year, as the Obama administration sought to respond to a continuing flow of children and families fleeing to the U.S. from Central America. \u003ca href=\"http://www.corecivic.com/\" target=\"_blank\">CoreCivic\u003c/a>, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.geogroup.com/\" target=\"_blank\">GEO Group\u003c/a> and Emerald Correctional Management signed contracts in 2016 to open more facilities for immigrant detainees, which will supply an additional 3,087 beds.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cbr>\n“Our financial performance in the fourth quarter of 2016 was well above our initial forecast due, in large part, to heightened utilization by ICE across the portfolio,” CoreCivic CEO Damon Hininger told shareholders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in February, executives at the two largest companies, CoreCivic and GEO Group, told their shareholders that they had many empty beds nationally — totaling 13,700 — into which ICE could move detainees immediately. (Roughly 500 of those beds are in California.) A vacant 3,000-bed detention center in Texas, owned by Management and Training Corp., could also reopen for ICE.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One reason bed space is available is that the federal government last year determined that private prisons had inferior safety and security, and began phasing out their use. Three private prison companies currently hold contracts with the U.S. Bureau of Prisons for 27,000 beds — 2,200 of those are in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump Justice Department \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/02/23/516916688/private-prisons-back-in-mix-for-federal-inmates-as-sessions-rescinds-order\" target=\"_blank\">has since rescinded\u003c/a> the Obama administration’s decision not to use private prisons for federal inmates. But the number of federal inmates held in private prisons has been declining in recent years, so some of those beds could still become available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some advocates question why prisons that were found to be substandard for federal prisoners can be considered safe for immigrant detainees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is [for-profit companies’] desperate interest to keep costs as low as possible, and they do that by skimping on food, on health care, on mental health care and anything else so that they can maximize their profits for every individual detained,” said Gilman, of the University of Texas Law School.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2012, three people have died while detained at the Adelanto Correctional Facility, run by GEO Group in San Bernardino, California. \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3480649-adelantoCorrectionalFac-Adelanto-CA-Sept-18-20.html\" target=\"_blank\">ICE investigators\u003c/a> found problems at the facility, including health care delays, poor record keeping, bad communication between staff and failures to properly report sexual assaults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3480650-Ddr-Morales.html\" target=\"_blank\">federal investigation\u003c/a> into one of the California deaths, inspectors noted that the person who died had waited more than a year to see a specialist, that the high turnover of medical staff led to inadequate care and that a dearth of laboratory services led to delays in treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last fall, after the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/08/18/490498158/justice-department-will-phase-out-its-use-of-private-prisons\" target=\"_blank\">Bureau of Prisons decided\u003c/a> to stop using private prisons, Homeland Security officials asked an advisory council composed of government officials, attorneys, advocates and private prison executives to examine ICE’s reliance on private prisons. The \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3480651-DHS-HSAC-PIDF-Final-Report.html\" target=\"_blank\">council’s report concluded\u003c/a> that despite problems with private, for-profit detention, DHS must continue to rely on it to control costs and “handle sudden increases in detention.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But about three-quarters of the members who approved the report took issue with that central recommendation. In a dissenting opinion they said the review showed conditions in private prisons were inferior to ICE-run detention, and suggested shifting away from a private prison model. The dissenters also encouraged further investigation to find “the most effective and humane approach,” to detention, including looking at alternatives to physically jailing people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;\">Where Were People Detained in Fiscal Year 2016?\u003c/span>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"520\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https://kqednews.carto.com/builder/9cb4f780-827c-412a-96f1-d29ccf160b1b/embed\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\">Data from ICE.

And, despite the council’s recommendation to avoid them, ICE is likely to rely more heavily on jails, as it seeks to lock up more people in the deportation process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would expect them to also look at expanding capacity by using space that’s not currently used in local jails that are already inspected and certified by ICE to be appropriate for immigration detention,” said Vaughan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A greater expansion into jails is likely to take place in many states, but California, in particular, has plenty of available jail beds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California county jails with ICE contracts had, on average, nearly 2,500 open beds in 2015, but ICE had specifically contracted only for 530 of them, according to data from ICE and the state agency that regulates county jails. That doesn’t include open jail beds in local cities with ICE contracts, including Glendale, Pomona and Alhambra.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, California is likely to have more jail space sitting empty soon. That’s because a 2012 criminal justice reform known as “realignment” gave counties money to expand their jails so they could accept some inmates from state prisons. Then, just as that building boom got underway, voters passed a measure in 2014 that reduced penalties for some crimes and led to a decrease of 9,000 inmates. So California counties are in the process of adding an estimated 10,000 beds, just as their jail populations are declining.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-agxRB\" src=\"//datawrapper.dwcdn.net/agxRB/8/\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"webkitallowfullscreen\" mozallowfullscreen=\"mozallowfullscreen\" oallowfullscreen=\"oallowfullscreen\" msallowfullscreen=\"msallowfullscreen\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\">\u003c/iframe>\u003cscript type=\"text/javascript\">if(\"undefined\"==typeof window.datawrapper)window.datawrapper={};window.datawrapper[\"agxRB\"]={},window.datawrapper[\"agxRB\"].embedDeltas={\"100\":1212,\"200\":829,\"300\":689,\"400\":675,\"500\":600,\"600\":600,\"700\":586,\"800\":586,\"900\":586,\"1000\":586},window.datawrapper[\"agxRB\"].iframe=document.getElementById(\"datawrapper-chart-agxRB\"),window.datawrapper[\"agxRB\"].iframe.style.height=window.datawrapper[\"agxRB\"].embedDeltas[Math.min(1e3,Math.max(100*Math.floor(window.datawrapper[\"agxRB\"].iframe.offsetWidth/100),100))]+\"px\",window.addEventListener(\"message\",function(a){if(\"undefined\"!=typeof a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"])for(var b in a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"])if(\"agxRB\"==b)window.datawrapper[\"agxRB\"].iframe.style.height=a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"][b]+\"px\"});\u003c/script>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.6255em;\">Lisa Pickoff-White/KQED\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some local counties say they depend financially on their contracts with ICE. Contra Costa Sheriff David Livingston said that the county receives about $2 million a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That money goes to defray the cost of running the jail and reduce the operating cost to the taxpayers of Contra Costa County,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not always easy mixing immigrant detainees with jail inmates, however.

Sending more people into deportation proceedings — and declining to release them on bond — will exacerbate the need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are currently just 301 immigration judges nationwide — and they’re handling more than 542,000 pending cases, according to the Department of Justice and data from Syracuse University’s \u003ca href=\"http://<a%20href=\" target=\"_blank\">TRAC\u003c/a> research center. Even if the immigration courts didn’t accept a single additional case, it would take 2½ years to go through the backlog, according to TRAC.

Her younger children, Gabriela and Christopher, are not yet in school, and her oldest, Kevin, has cerebral palsy and needs extra care. So Heras has her hands full as a stay-at-home mom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I stopped working because my oldest son had to have an operation,” she said. “But now I have to look for other resources to keep surviving.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the help of a \u003cem>pro bono\u003c/em> lawyer, Heras and her husband are trying to keep him from being deported. An asylum officer found that Maguiber has grounds to request protection from deportation. His attorney has asked ICE to release him while he awaits his first hearing, which is scheduled for March 29. Heras says the court should not worry that Maguiber will flee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My husband has three children,” she said. “He wasn’t going to run away from them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Another Deportation Method: Expedited Removal\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThe Trump administration has another tool to deport some undocumented immigrants, one that would put less strain on immigration courts and detention facilities, but that civil liberties advocates say will unfairly deprive people of their right to due process of law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The policy, called expedited removal, is a fast-track deportation without a hearing before an immigration judge. It was formerly applied only to unauthorized immigrants encountered within 100 miles of the border who had been in the country less than two weeks. Recently, Kelly expanded expedited removal to include people caught by agents anywhere in the United States who cannot prove that they have been in the country at least two years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Expedited removal would not apply to the majority of people living in the country illegally. The Pew Research Center estimates that two-thirds of the estimated 11.1 million undocumented people in the United States have been here for more than a decade. Maguiber is one of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another reason that the Trump administration may be increasing expedited removals is to save money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homeland Security is already budgeted to spend $2.6 billion a year on ICE detention. Congress would have to appropriate more to expand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mary Small, the policy director for Detention Watch Network, says that Congress has a track record of paying for this type of enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For the entirety of the Obama administration, Congress gave ICE more money than the president asked for in the president’s budget,” Small said. “There is a real willingness to throw large amounts of money at locking immigrants up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vaughan believes that while the initial cost to carry out Trump’s policies may be high, over time it will deter illegal immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When people get the message that you’re not necessarily home free if you make it to the United States,” she said, “I think it’s pretty clear fewer people are going to come here illegally.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, she says, people who are already here illegally may think about going home — when faced with these tougher consequences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Maguiber is ready to fight to stay in the country. His father named him after the hero of the 1980s TV show, “MacGyver,” that was popular across Latin America. Angus MacGyver was famous for his knack at getting himself out of tricky situations. Maguiber’s family isn’t looking for him to bust out of jail like an action hero, but they are hoping he’ll find a way out of this bind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

This is not merely a federal mandate, but a moral obligation no individual, school, district or state can abdicate.
