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.

The answer is that they cannot,” wrote Tigar in his ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tigar’s decision means migrants arriving anywhere along the southern border will now be eligible to apply for asylum as intended by Congress’ U.S. Refugee Act of 1980, said Michael Smith, who directs the refugee rights program at the East Bay Sanctuary Covenant in Berkeley, a plaintiff organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The law says they are eligible to apply no matter how they got here,” said Smith. “So the law is clearly on our side. But this administration is going to fight against asylum on all fronts.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House slammed Tigar’s ruling in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Immigration and border security policy cannot be run by any single district court judge who decides to issue a nationwide injunction. This ruling is a gift to human smugglers and traffickers and undermines the rule of law,” read the \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/statement-press-secretary-75/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement\u003c/a> from the Press Secretary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration is expected to request the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to review Tigar’s decision. That court had limited a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11763296/federal-judge-in-s-f-halts-new-rule-targeting-central-american-asylum-seekers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">previous nationwide injunction\u003c/a> Tigar ordered July 24 to temporarily block the so-called “third country rule” while it is challenged in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, the appellate judges declined the federal government’s request to dissolve the ban completely, but they restricted it to the nine western states within the appeals court’s jurisdiction, reasoning the judge hadn’t shown enough evidence to support a nationwide halt. That meant the new asylum restrictions were applying to migrants who crossed the border into Texas and New Mexico, but not into California and Arizona.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The three judge panel at the appeals court also ruled that Tigar retained jurisdiction to “further develop the record” to support extending the suspension to the rest of the country. That opened the door for plaintiff organizations to ask Tiger to consider additional evidence and restore the nationwide injunction on the third country rule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tigar’s ruling Monday built a fuller case for the injunction. It comes as the Trump administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court last month to intervene and allow it to fully implement the third country rule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a hearing last week in Tigar’s courtroom in Oakland, East Bay Sanctuary Covenant, Al Otro Lado, Innovation Law Lab, and Central American Resource Center of Los Angeles said the partial injunction doesn’t make sense because they often represent asylum seekers outside the 9th Circuit’s jurisdiction, or represent people who came to California after entering the country through Texas and New Mexico. The organizations also claimed they’ll bear significant costs and workload from having to operate under a patchwork of asylum restrictions across the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. Justice Department attorney Scott Stewart argued that additional evidence submitted by plaintiffs failed to show that the third country rule must be halted nationwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They are essentially repackaging arguments they already made,” said Stewart. “We knew their operations were nationwide and the 9th Circuit still deemed the record insufficient.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stewart also argued that the appellate judges did not grant Tigar the authority to fully block the asylum restrictions once again. But Tigar seemed unconvinced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What would be the purpose of developing the record on a nationwide injunction if I didn’t have authority to issue one?” he asked Stewart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Lee Gelernt, ACLU attorney\"]‘The stakes in this case could not be higher. This rule we’re talking about effectively would end asylum at the southern border for everyone except Mexicans who don’t have to transit through a third country.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Government officials argue the third country policy is needed to reduce the influx of Central American migrants seeking asylum protections at the southern border, which the administration says has overwhelmed the country’s immigration system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This interim rule will help reduce a major ‘pull’ factor driving irregular migration to the United States,” said Department of Homeland Security Acting Secretary Kevin K. McAleenan, announcing the third country rule on July 15.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under American law, people can request asylum when they arrive in the U.S. regardless of how they enter. The law makes an exception for those who have come through a country considered to be “safe,” pursuant to an agreement between the U.S. and that country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Canada and the U.S. have a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11761305/this-obscure-treaty-is-the-blueprint-for-trumps-new-asylum-rule\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">“safe third country” agreement\u003c/a>. But the U.S. doesn’t have one with Mexico. The Trump administration announced an agreement this summer with Guatemala, but the country’s incoming president \u003ca href=\"https://time.com/5651664/guatemala-president-elect-us-migrant-deal/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said last month\u003c/a> that Guatemala would not be able to uphold the deal reached by his predecessor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration maintains that “loopholes” in current laws allow migrants to ask for asylum, whether or not they have legitimate claims, and then be released into the U.S. while their cases are decided by an immigration judge, which can take years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between 2017 and 2018, asylum applications increased by nearly 70%, according to government figures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The majority of migrants apprehended by U.S. authorities at the southern border are Central American families and children. Many say they are fleeing extreme violence and that their governments fail to protect them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration rule includes exceptions for people who were denied protection claims elsewhere or were victims of human trafficking. But immigrant advocates argue that the policy shatters asylum protections established by Congress four decades ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The stakes in this case could not be higher,” said Lee Gelernt, an ACLU attorney representing the plaintiffs. “This rule we’re talking about effectively would end asylum at the southern border for everyone except Mexicans who don’t have to transit through a third country. So we believe that it’s clearly unlawful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

McAleenan, announcing the third country rule on July 15.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under American law, people can request asylum when they arrive in the U.S. regardless of how they enter. The law makes an exception for those who have come through a country considered to be “safe,” pursuant to an agreement between the U.S. and that country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Canada and the U.S. have a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11761305/this-obscure-treaty-is-the-blueprint-for-trumps-new-asylum-rule\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">“safe third country” agreement\u003c/a>. But the U.S. doesn’t have one with Mexico. The Trump administration announced an agreement this summer with Guatemala, but the country’s incoming president \u003ca href=\"https://time.com/5651664/guatemala-president-elect-us-migrant-deal/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said last month\u003c/a> that Guatemala would not be able to uphold the deal reached by his predecessor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration maintains that “loopholes” in current laws allow migrants to ask for asylum, whether or not they have legitimate claims, and then be released into the U.S. while their cases are decided by an immigration judge, which can take years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between 2017 and 2018, asylum applications increased by nearly 70%, according to government figures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The majority of migrants apprehended by U.S. authorities at the southern border are Central American families and children. Many say they are fleeing extreme violence and that their governments fail to protect them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration rule includes exceptions for people who were denied protection claims elsewhere or were victims of human trafficking. But immigrant advocates argue that the policy shatters asylum protections established by Congress four decades ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The stakes in this case could not be higher,” said Lee Gelernt, an ACLU attorney representing the plaintiffs. “This rule we’re talking about effectively would end asylum at the southern border for everyone except Mexicans who don’t have to transit through a third country. So we believe that it’s clearly unlawful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Trump charged Guatemala with backing out on an immigration deal with the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='news_11763374' label='Guatemalans in the Bay Area'] “If Guatemala doesn’t take significant action to help protect our borders, then we will, of course, look at all manner of solutions to the serious crisis we face,” a White House official told NPR, “whether it’s a travel ban, significant actions on remittances and/or tariffs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House is looking at the authority already granted to the executive branch to suspend the entry of classes of people when it’s considered detrimental to national interests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump said Wednesday that the United States was planning to take “severe” action against the government of Guatemala after, he said, it broke a deal with the United States to serve as a safe third-party country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003cbr>\nOne of Trump’s strategies for reducing the number of people crossing the border is to get them to go through the \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/07/15/741769333/u-s-sets-new-asylum-rule-telling-potential-refugees-to-apply-elsewhere\">asylum process outside the United States\u003c/a>. Guatemala was particularly important for that strategy; the deal would have obligated migrants who traveled through Guatemala to seek protection there instead of traveling to the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This month, Guatemala’s high court blocked its government from signing the deal with the United States. Trump said he didn’t believe that the court acted independently of the Guatemalan government and that the United States would take action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re looking at something very severe with respect to Guatemala,” Trump said Wednesday as he was leaving the White House on his way to a fundraiser in West Virginia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House didn’t share specific details of how the travel ban would be implemented, such as whether it would apply to all Guatemalans or only certain groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But officials are looking at the same powers to control the U.S. borders that Trump cited when he banned travel from several predominantly Muslim nations shortly after becoming president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Leon Fresco, immigration assistant attorney during the Obama administration']‘The president is not going to be able to show that law-abiding Guatemalans doing trade and commerce in the United States are in any way detrimental to the interest of the United States.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under a provision of immigration law, Congress has given the president sweeping power to indefinitely block “the entry of any class of aliens into the United States” that he or she thinks would be “detrimental to the interests of the United States.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jessica Vaughan, director of policy studies for the Center for Immigration Studies, who speaks regularly with the administration, said the situation is “long past out of control.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The president is frustrated that Congress and some lower court judges are blocking his efforts to address the border crisis, and his options are limited, so he is willing to push the envelope to get results,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Targeting remittances \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump made similar threats against Mexico if it didn’t take greater steps to slow migration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This spring, Trump threatened to impose new tariffs starting at 5% that would climb to 25% against Mexico if its government didn’t stop the flow of migrants to the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump abandoned the threat when, he said, Mexico agreed to strengthen patrols on the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Guatemalan government did not immediately respond to questions about the possibility of a travel ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11763470\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11763470\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/gettyimages-1157206925_slide-2c839eb73235c229c203731388477eefed96a880-s1600-c85-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"A Mexican migration officer checks the identification documents of Guatemalan migrants who crossed to Ciudad Hidalgo in Mexico on Monday.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/gettyimages-1157206925_slide-2c839eb73235c229c203731388477eefed96a880-s1600-c85-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/gettyimages-1157206925_slide-2c839eb73235c229c203731388477eefed96a880-s1600-c85-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/gettyimages-1157206925_slide-2c839eb73235c229c203731388477eefed96a880-s1600-c85-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/gettyimages-1157206925_slide-2c839eb73235c229c203731388477eefed96a880-s1600-c85-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/gettyimages-1157206925_slide-2c839eb73235c229c203731388477eefed96a880-s1600-c85.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A Mexican migration officer checks the identification documents of Guatemalan migrants who crossed to Ciudad Hidalgo in Mexico on Monday. \u003ccite>(Alfredo Estrella/AFP/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales said in a statement that the government was aware of the possible measures that the Trump administration could take and blamed the country’s court for damaging the “good relationship” the government has with the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All this jeopardizes the bilateral relationship with the United States that will lead to possible sanctions,” Morales said on social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A fee or tax on Guatemalan remittances could be devastating to the Guatemalan economy. Guatemalan nationals living abroad sent back $9.5 billion in 2018, making up 12% of the country’s GDP, according to World Bank data. Most of that money comes from the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not the first time Trump has floated the idea of targeting remittances. As a candidate, he promised that Mexico would pay for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border without equivocation or nuance and proposed a six-step plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On day 2 Mexico will immediately protest,” the campaign wrote in a two-page briefing. “They receive approximately $24 billion a year in remittances from Mexican nationals working in the United States. The majority of that amount comes from illegal aliens.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Legal challenges expected\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like the Trump administration’s previous bans against several Muslim-majority nations, any action taken against Guatemala is likely to trigger a legal battle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Immigration specialist David Bier']‘This would be a far broader use of the travel ban authority that we’ve seen by any prior president.’[/pullquote] But that threat is unlikely to sway Trump. He reminded a group of conservative youths on Tuesday that his administration eventually won the nearly year-and-a-half-long legal fight over a revised version of that first travel ban in the Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People don’t realize we won the ban,” Trump said Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leon Fresco, who served as deputy assistant attorney general for the Office of Immigration Litigation in the Obama administration, said the Trump administration is likely to face a greater legal challenge if it seeks to block Guatemalans conducting legitimate business in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There will be lawsuits because the standard for a travel ban is that you have to show that the entry of law-abiding Guatemalans would be detrimental to the interest of the United States,” Fresco said. “And the president is not going to be able to show that law-abiding Guatemalans doing trade and commerce in the United States are in any way detrimental to the interest of the United States. There is no security threat of any kind from Guatemala toward the United States.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House official emphasized that the Trump administration would simply use long-standing powers taken by \u003ca href=\"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2004-01-14/pdf/04-957.pdf\">many past administrations\u003c/a> to block citizens of some countries from entering the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='asylum' label='the remittances angle']In 1986, President Ronald Reagan \u003ca href=\"https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/codification/proclamations/05517.html\">imposed a ban on Cuban nationals\u003c/a> and, in 1988, on \u003ca href=\"https://www.cato.org/blog/prior-presidents-travel-bans-are-different-president-trumps-ban\">certain Nicaraguan officials\u003c/a> for the “unjustified expulsion from Nicaragua of the United States ambassador and seven other United States diplomats.” The Clinton and Obama administrations also blocked some foreign nationals from entering the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But immigration specialists, such as David Bier of the Cato Institute, \u003ca href=\"https://www.cato.org/blog/prior-presidents-travel-bans-are-different-president-trumps-ban\">argue that no president\u003c/a> has used the provision on the same scale as Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No prior ban had ever targeted multiple nationalities at the same time,” Bier told NPR. “And only one earlier ban in 1986 had included an entire nationality and that one only did so for a few months. This would be a far broader use of the travel ban authority that we’ve seen by any prior president.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. sources familiar with the administration’s plans to take action against Guatemala caution that nothing is final until Trump signs the paperwork. But they say the plans show Trump’s comments were not just a mere threat after Guatemala backed out of the deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not like a gleam in anyone’s eyes. It’s in the works,” said a source familiar with details of some of the remittance plans. “This is not just some random comment from Trump.
