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.",

But thereafter much has come to light,” Sabraw told Deputy Assistant Attorney General Scott Stewart. “What appears to be unknown to everyone here was that ORR had a tremendous spike in the number of unaccompanied children being delivered to them, far before the lawsuit was filed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also unknown to the court, was that O.R.R. had delivered those children out to sponsors before June 26.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sabraw said his decision to limit reunifications to children still in O.R.R. care on June 26th was based on what he knew at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the Feb. 21 hearing ACLU attorney Lee Gelernt, told the judge he reserved the right to expand the class further if earlier family separations proved unlawful.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How the Trump Administration Expanded Family Separations\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Immigration officials have long separated children from parents and guardians for cause under an anti-trafficking statute, known as the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (T.V.P.R.A). In 2016, however, those separations rarely occurred, according to the IG's report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Children separated from parents made up less than half a percent (0.3 percent) of the children referred to the O.R.R. in 2016, the report noted, but by August of 2017 that number had increased to 3.6 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The IG found that the increase resulted from a letter the U.S. Attorney General sent to federal prosecutors in the Spring of 2017, ordering them to prioritize criminal charges for immigration-related offenses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The IG also found that the administration began piloting the \"zero tolerance\" policy in El Paso, Tx. in July 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By December 2017 numerous immigrant advocates alleged a major increase in separations in a complaint filed with the DHS that called for the Inspector General of the agency to investigate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ACLU filed a class action suit challenging the practice in February of 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration did not announce its \"zero tolerance\" policy until May of 2018, one month after it had been expanded to the whole southern border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Correction: An earlier version of this story indicated the government had been ordered to immediately identify thousands more families.

But these schools usually don't offer English as second language classes or have staff with expertise in teaching and supporting newcomers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Classes at Rudsdale are small. School starts an hour later and ends an hour earlier than a traditional high school, with classes starting at 9:30 a.m. and ending at 2:30 p.m. This allows students to get to work in the afternoon, and to sleep in after working late at night. There’s no homework. And credits are earned on a six-week cycle, allowing students to constantly assess their progress toward graduation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a schedule that worked for Yamileth, who was also working as a dishwasher in a restaurant while going to school. She didn’t get off work until 11:00 p.m. and often wouldn’t get home until midnight. Sometimes, she says, she would miss four days of school in a row.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But I didn’t stop my studies,” she said in Spanish. “When I would come back to school, I would find out how far I was behind and I would go early to make up my work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assistant Principal Emma Batten-Bowman says getting students to show up to class is a big challenge, but she and other staff try to offer flexibility, allowing a student who is a mother to go home and breastfeed between classes, for example, or giving students time off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re constantly talking to the students about, ‘Let us know if your schedule changes, we can put you on independent study for a short time, or we can work something out. Let us figure out a plan together. Don’t just drop off the face of the earth,’” Batten-Bowman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the biggest challenges for many recent newcomers from Central America is missed years of schooling in their home countries, either because they lived in rural communities where junior high or high school was not available, or because it was dangerous to attend school because of gangs. When newcomers haven’t yet mastered academic reading, writing, or math in their home language, they have a lot more to learn in order to grasp high-school level material.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Not only do they need to practice phonics, but they need to learn how to read a map. They need to know, like, you put the holes on the left and write your name on the right, some basic school skills organization,” Batten-Bowman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yamileth says she felt more confident at Rudsdale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We were all learning English,\" she said, \"so I knew there was no one who knew more than I did.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11731745\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/RS35673__DSC6592-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"A student arriving to class in the morning at Rudsdale Newcomer High School.\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11731745\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/RS35673__DSC6592-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/RS35673__DSC6592-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/RS35673__DSC6592-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/RS35673__DSC6592-1200x801.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/RS35673__DSC6592.jpg 1919w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A student arriving to class in the morning at Rudsdale Newcomer High School. \u003ccite>(Stephanie Lister/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The school also offers some internships to improve students’ work skills.

He sees a lot of students get frustrated with the pace of learning English at Castlemont and feeling they will never finish high school. He ran into a former student who had transferred to Rudsdale and the difference was palpable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was sharing he had an internship in a hospital and he was super excited.

They can't be deported back to Honduras, and this year, they can apply for permanent residency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few months later, she returned to Oakland International High School to seek out an old counselor to ask for help registering for cosmetology classes at a local community college. The steps proved somewhat daunting — at the college, someone asked Yamileth about her immigration status and asked her for more paperwork. The interaction left Yamileth thinking she might have to pay more than she could afford for classes and she decided she would wait to register until she has her green card.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Yamileth says she’s made it this far, and she isn’t ready to give up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She fled beatings in Honduras after her mother refused to pay gang members a portion of her revenue from a clothing business. On the journey north, in Mexico, Yamileth, her mother and little brother were kidnapped at a bus station and held by a group of people who claimed to part of a drug cartel. One day, when their captors had gone out to collect ransom money for another captive, they were able to escape. Yamileth says it was an act of God — she was the one who found the door unlocked and told her mother and brother to run as fast as they could. She didn't join them until she was sure it was safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Since God gave me the opportunity to be here,” she said in Spanish, “I have to make the most of that, most of all for my mom, for her future and for mine.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She wants to open her own business. She says she’s always had a good head for it, helping her mother sell clothes and food back in Honduras from the time she was nine. Maybe she’ll open her own beauty parlor. Or maybe a restaurant. Or maybe she’ll become a veterinarian, drawing on the dog-care skills she learned at Rudsdale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It feels like her whole future could open up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was first published by \u003ca href=\"https://www.pri.org/stories/2019-02-25/newcomer-students-face-daunting-obstacles-graduate-california-high-school-makes\">Public Radio International\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>It was reported in collaboration with \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org\">EdSource\u003c/a> and with support from the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ewa.org\">Education Writers Association\u003c/a> Reporting Fellowship.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

But these schools usually don't offer English as second language classes or have staff with expertise in teaching and supporting newcomers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Classes at Rudsdale are small. School starts an hour later and ends an hour earlier than a traditional high school, with classes starting at 9:30 a.m. and ending at 2:30 p.m. This allows students to get to work in the afternoon, and to sleep in after working late at night. There’s no homework. And credits are earned on a six-week cycle, allowing students to constantly assess their progress toward graduation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a schedule that worked for Yamileth, who was also working as a dishwasher in a restaurant while going to school. She didn’t get off work until 11:00 p.m. and often wouldn’t get home until midnight. Sometimes, she says, she would miss four days of school in a row.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But I didn’t stop my studies,” she said in Spanish. “When I would come back to school, I would find out how far I was behind and I would go early to make up my work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assistant Principal Emma Batten-Bowman says getting students to show up to class is a big challenge, but she and other staff try to offer flexibility, allowing a student who is a mother to go home and breastfeed between classes, for example, or giving students time off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re constantly talking to the students about, ‘Let us know if your schedule changes, we can put you on independent study for a short time, or we can work something out. Let us figure out a plan together. Don’t just drop off the face of the earth,’” Batten-Bowman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the biggest challenges for many recent newcomers from Central America is missed years of schooling in their home countries, either because they lived in rural communities where junior high or high school was not available, or because it was dangerous to attend school because of gangs. When newcomers haven’t yet mastered academic reading, writing, or math in their home language, they have a lot more to learn in order to grasp high-school level material.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Not only do they need to practice phonics, but they need to learn how to read a map. They need to know, like, you put the holes on the left and write your name on the right, some basic school skills organization,” Batten-Bowman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yamileth says she felt more confident at Rudsdale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We were all learning English,\" she said, \"so I knew there was no one who knew more than I did.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11731745\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/RS35673__DSC6592-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"A student arriving to class in the morning at Rudsdale Newcomer High School.\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11731745\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/RS35673__DSC6592-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/RS35673__DSC6592-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/RS35673__DSC6592-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/RS35673__DSC6592-1200x801.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/RS35673__DSC6592.jpg 1919w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A student arriving to class in the morning at Rudsdale Newcomer High School. \u003ccite>(Stephanie Lister/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The school also offers some internships to improve students’ work skills. Some students interned this year at a local hospital and school leaders are looking into another internship at a dental clinic, where students could use their language skills in Spanish or Mam, an Indigenous language from Guatemala.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Etienne Torres, who teaches newcomers at Castlemont High School, says Rudsdale has made a huge difference for some students. He sees a lot of students get frustrated with the pace of learning English at Castlemont and feeling they will never finish high school. He ran into a former student who had transferred to Rudsdale and the difference was palpable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was sharing he had an internship in a hospital and he was super excited. I never saw him that excited about education when I had him for a whole year,” Torres said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yamileth enrolled in a dog care elective, where newcomer students spent time every week at a farmhouse where mistreated pit bulls are rehabilitated with loving care.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Futures Open Up\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In June 2018, Yamileth finally graduated, just days before her 21st birthday.

They can't be deported back to Honduras, and this year, they can apply for permanent residency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few months later, she returned to Oakland International High School to seek out an old counselor to ask for help registering for cosmetology classes at a local community college. The steps proved somewhat daunting — at the college, someone asked Yamileth about her immigration status and asked her for more paperwork. The interaction left Yamileth thinking she might have to pay more than she could afford for classes and she decided she would wait to register until she has her green card.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Yamileth says she’s made it this far, and she isn’t ready to give up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She fled beatings in Honduras after her mother refused to pay gang members a portion of her revenue from a clothing business. On the journey north, in Mexico, Yamileth, her mother and little brother were kidnapped at a bus station and held by a group of people who claimed to part of a drug cartel. One day, when their captors had gone out to collect ransom money for another captive, they were able to escape. Yamileth says it was an act of God — she was the one who found the door unlocked and told her mother and brother to run as fast as they could. She didn't join them until she was sure it was safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Since God gave me the opportunity to be here,” she said in Spanish, “I have to make the most of that, most of all for my mom, for her future and for mine.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She wants to open her own business. She says she’s always had a good head for it, helping her mother sell clothes and food back in Honduras from the time she was nine. Maybe she’ll open her own beauty parlor. Or maybe a restaurant. Or maybe she’ll become a veterinarian, drawing on the dog-care skills she learned at Rudsdale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It feels like her whole future could open up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was first published by \u003ca href=\"https://www.pri.org/stories/2019-02-25/newcomer-students-face-daunting-obstacles-graduate-california-high-school-makes\">Public Radio International\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
