She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R.

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.",

More homicides were recorded in the first nine months of 2018 than in all of 2017, said David Shirk, who directs the \u003ca href=\"https://justiceinmexico.org\">Justice in Mexico Project \u003c/a>at the University of San Diego. He said that’s because violence has become decentralized, as large cartels give way to smaller drug dealers who are also fighting for turf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Organized crime groups that had established control over the city have begun to experience clashes again, particularly since the capture of 'El Chapo' Guzman,” said Shirk, referring to Joaquin Guzman, the drug lord who was extradited to the U.S. in 2017 and is now on trial in federal court in Manhattan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But the conflicts now seem to be going on at a much lower level, neighborhood to neighborhood, street corner to street corner,” said Shirk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mosso, the Zeta editor, said she doesn’t believe Central American migrants are getting drawn into the drug trade in any significant way. But migrants are often victims of robberies, kidnappings, extortions and other crimes, especially those who travel on their own in Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reason so many Central Americans have decided to join the caravan is that it offers safety in numbers, said Mosso. Still, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11706843/tijuana-struggles-to-shelter-migrants-combat-hostility-of-some-local-residents\">Tijuana is not prepared\u003c/a> to handle the basic and long-term needs of so many newcomers at once, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'This problem is going to be here for a long time, and we have to figure out how to address it.' \u003ccite>Rosario Mosso, award-winning journalist and editor at Zeta\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“Tijuana has a culture of support toward migrants,” said Mosso, a Tijuana native. “But migrants are still coming, and it’s a tense situation, a situation we are not prepared for.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, Mosso has not seen organized crime groups significantly targeting caravan members. But that could change with time, she said, the longer migrants linger in Tijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Customs and Border Protection officials have said that their capacity to handle asylum cases is restricted by factors such as limited detention space at the San Ysidro port of entry, and the translation and medical needs of migrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Depending upon port circumstances at the time of arrival, individuals presenting without documents may need to wait in Mexico as CBP officers work to process those already within our facilities,” said a CBP spokesperson in a statement released earlier this month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11708836\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34206_Zeta_06-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11708836\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34206_Zeta_06-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34206_Zeta_06-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34206_Zeta_06-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34206_Zeta_06-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34206_Zeta_06-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34206_Zeta_06-qut-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rosario Mosso stands next to awards earned by the newspaper she leads on Nov. 20, 2018. \u003ccite>(Erin Siegal McIntyre/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>As of last week, the waiting list to see a U.S. official at the pedestrian border crossing in Tijuana already had the names of more than 4,000 people, with new arrivals being told they would probably wait about two months in Tijuana.

And it’s also creating resentments in Tijuana, as people who have no contacts, have no resources, are flooding the streets.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mosso said some Tijuanans fear migrants with the caravan could contribute to the insecurity in their city, with organized crime potentially recruiting caravan members to sell drugs.

But they have landed in Mexico’s most violent city. Tijuana had 1,618 homicide cases in 2017, \u003ca href=\"https://justiceinmexico.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/180411_DrugViolenceinMexico-12mb.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to\u003c/a> official statistics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Migrants seeking asylum in the U.S. must now wait in Tijuana—potentially for several months—as U.S. border authorities slowly process claims. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials have recently been accepting roughly 20 to 100 asylum applications per day. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is reportedly trying to negotiate an agreement with incoming officials of Mexico’s President-elect Andrés Manuel López Obrador, to require Central American asylum applicants to remain in Mexico while their applications are adjudicated in U.S. immigration courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11707927/long-waits-in-tijuana-for-migrants-seeking-u-s-refuge\">Caravan Members Face Long Waits in Tijuana, Alongside Other Migrants Seeking U.S. Refuge\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11707927/long-waits-in-tijuana-for-migrants-seeking-u-s-refuge\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34068_chaparral-FINAL-01-qut-1180x785.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>And as the migrants find themselves in limbo in Tijuana, the city’s murder rate continues to rise. More homicides were recorded in the first nine months of 2018 than in all of 2017, said David Shirk, who directs the \u003ca href=\"https://justiceinmexico.org\">Justice in Mexico Project \u003c/a>at the University of San Diego. He said that’s because violence has become decentralized, as large cartels give way to smaller drug dealers who are also fighting for turf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Organized crime groups that had established control over the city have begun to experience clashes again, particularly since the capture of 'El Chapo' Guzman,” said Shirk, referring to Joaquin Guzman, the drug lord who was extradited to the U.S. in 2017 and is now on trial in federal court in Manhattan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But the conflicts now seem to be going on at a much lower level, neighborhood to neighborhood, street corner to street corner,” said Shirk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mosso, the Zeta editor, said she doesn’t believe Central American migrants are getting drawn into the drug trade in any significant way. But migrants are often victims of robberies, kidnappings, extortions and other crimes, especially those who travel on their own in Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reason so many Central Americans have decided to join the caravan is that it offers safety in numbers, said Mosso. Still, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11706843/tijuana-struggles-to-shelter-migrants-combat-hostility-of-some-local-residents\">Tijuana is not prepared\u003c/a> to handle the basic and long-term needs of so many newcomers at once, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'This problem is going to be here for a long time, and we have to figure out how to address it.' \u003ccite>Rosario Mosso, award-winning journalist and editor at Zeta\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“Tijuana has a culture of support toward migrants,” said Mosso, a Tijuana native. “But migrants are still coming, and it’s a tense situation, a situation we are not prepared for.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, Mosso has not seen organized crime groups significantly targeting caravan members. But that could change with time, she said, the longer migrants linger in Tijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Customs and Border Protection officials have said that their capacity to handle asylum cases is restricted by factors such as limited detention space at the San Ysidro port of entry, and the translation and medical needs of migrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Depending upon port circumstances at the time of arrival, individuals presenting without documents may need to wait in Mexico as CBP officers work to process those already within our facilities,” said a CBP spokesperson in a statement released earlier this month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11708836\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34206_Zeta_06-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11708836\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34206_Zeta_06-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34206_Zeta_06-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34206_Zeta_06-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34206_Zeta_06-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34206_Zeta_06-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS34206_Zeta_06-qut-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rosario Mosso stands next to awards earned by the newspaper she leads on Nov. 20, 2018. \u003ccite>(Erin Siegal McIntyre/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>As of last week, the waiting list to see a U.S. official at the pedestrian border crossing in Tijuana already had the names of more than 4,000 people, with new arrivals being told they would probably wait about two months in Tijuana. Wait times are expected to multiply as more caravan members arrive in the city, unless U.S. officials process people faster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And so we are making people wait,” said Shirk, the professor at USD. “Those people are therefore being exposed to greater danger for a longer period of time than is necessary. And it’s also creating resentments in Tijuana, as people who have no contacts, have no resources, are flooding the streets.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mosso said some Tijuanans fear migrants with the caravan could contribute to the insecurity in their city, with organized crime potentially recruiting caravan members to sell drugs. Mosso said her job at Zeta is to fact-check such fears and provide readers with information and context, so that tensions in the city don’t escalate even more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This problem is going to be here for a long time, and we have to figure out how to address it,” said Mosso.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The number of individuals CBP can process depends on factors such as the complexity of their cases, translation requirements and detention space, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Port of Entry facilities were not designed to hold hundreds of people at a time who may be seeking asylum. And we are also charged with keeping the flow of legitimate trade and travel,” said the CBP spokesman in a statement. “Balancing these demands, keeping illicit goods and people out of the country, and managing the influx of Central Americans seeking asylum … requires a careful balance of our resources and space.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Guillén López said the barbed wire, barriers and soldiers don’t belong at the busy international crossing with San Diego, a region with a long history of cooperation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It looks like we are at the border between North and South Korea,” he said. “Those images don’t belong in this region.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commercial exchange between San Diego and Tijuana is worth $2.1 million per day, according to the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, as many as 5,000 Central American migrants with the caravan milled around a sports complex turned into a migrant shelter in Tijuana, while dozens more arrived with weary faces and dusty bags.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The situation is not easy,” said Maria Oriana, as her 4-year-old grandson clutched her leg. “My heart aches to know the boy has to sleep on the ground.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The monthlong journey from Honduras was especially tough for her grandson, she said, adding that her family had fled violence and gang threats. Now Oriana realizes it could be months before they can ask for refuge in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other migrants at the shelter said they felt sick, and as temperatures get colder at night, some looked for blankets and hoodies among donations being distributed by volunteers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tijuanans say the city is struggling to accommodate thousands of Central American migrants for a stretch of months or longer. That pressure was compounded Sunday when U.S. authorities closed the San Ysidro port of entry entirely. That came after officials shut down 10 out of 26 northbound vehicle lanes at the border crossing last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CBP officials said the goal was to prevent migrants from illegally rushing in, and to install concertina wires and jersey barriers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Marco Antonio Sotomayor Amezcua, Tijuana’s head of public safety, said the ports of entry should remain open, because they are critical to the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Ysidro border crossing is among the busiest in the world. More than 100,000 people traverse north every day, said Pete Flores, director of field operations for the CBP San Diego office at a recent press conference.\u003c/p>\n\n",

And we are also charged with keeping the flow of legitimate trade and travel,” said the CBP spokesman in a statement. “Balancing these demands, keeping illicit goods and people out of the country, and managing the influx of Central Americans seeking asylum … requires a careful balance of our resources and space.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Guillén López said the barbed wire, barriers and soldiers don’t belong at the busy international crossing with San Diego, a region with a long history of cooperation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It looks like we are at the border between North and South Korea,” he said. “Those images don’t belong in this region.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commercial exchange between San Diego and Tijuana is worth $2.1 million per day, according to the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, as many as 5,000 Central American migrants with the caravan milled around a sports complex turned into a migrant shelter in Tijuana, while dozens more arrived with weary faces and dusty bags.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The situation is not easy,” said Maria Oriana, as her 4-year-old grandson clutched her leg. “My heart aches to know the boy has to sleep on the ground.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The monthlong journey from Honduras was especially tough for her grandson, she said, adding that her family had fled violence and gang threats. Now Oriana realizes it could be months before they can ask for refuge in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other migrants at the shelter said they felt sick, and as temperatures get colder at night, some looked for blankets and hoodies among donations being distributed by volunteers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tijuanans say the city is struggling to accommodate thousands of Central American migrants for a stretch of months or longer. That pressure was compounded Sunday when U.S. authorities closed the San Ysidro port of entry entirely. That came after officials shut down 10 out of 26 northbound vehicle lanes at the border crossing last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CBP officials said the goal was to prevent migrants from illegally rushing in, and to install concertina wires and jersey barriers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Marco Antonio Sotomayor Amezcua, Tijuana’s head of public safety, said the ports of entry should remain open, because they are critical to the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The plan was immediately challenged in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump invoked the same powers he used last year to impose a travel ban that was \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11677303/in-big-win-for-white-house-supreme-court-upholds-president-trumps-travel-ban\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">upheld by the Supreme Court\u003c/a>. The new regulations are intended to circumvent laws stating that anyone is eligible for asylum no matter how he or she enters the country. About 70,000 people per year who enter the country illegally claim asylum, officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11703507/fact-check-migrants-are-not-overwhelming-the-southwest-border\" target=\"_blank\">FACT CHECK: Migrants Are Not Overwhelming the Southwest Border\u003cbr>\n\u003c/a>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The litigation also seeks to put the rules on hold while the suit progresses through court.\"We need people in our country but they have to come in legally,\" Trump said Friday as he departed for Paris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The American Civil Liberties Union and other legal groups quickly sued in federal court in Northern California to block the regulations, arguing the measures were clearly illegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The president is simply trying to run roughshod over Congress's decision to provide asylum to those in danger regardless of the manner of one's entry,\" said ACLU attorney Lee Gelernt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn't clear whether the case would be heard by a judge before the rules go into effect Saturday. Those rules would be in place for at least three months but could be extended, and don't affect people already in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's announcement was the latest push to enforce a hard-line stance on immigration through regulatory changes and presidential orders, bypassing Congress, which has not passed any immigration law reform. But those efforts have been largely thwarted by legal challenges and, in the case of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/family-separation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">family separations\u003c/a> this year, stymied by a global outcry that prompted Trump to retreat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials said the asylum law changes are meant to funnel migrants through official border crossings for speedy rulings instead of having them try to circumvent such crossings on the nearly 2,000-mile border. Border Patrol agents in Yuma said they arrested nearly 450 migrants in Western Arizona this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the busy ports of entry already have long lines and waits, forcing immigration officials to tell some migrants to turn around and come back to make their claims. Even despite that, illegal crossings are historically low.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Backlogs have become especially bad in recent months at crossings in California, Arizona and Texas, with some people waiting five weeks to try to claim asylum at San Diego's main crossing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The arrival of large numbers ... will contribute to the overloading of our immigration and asylum system and to the release of thousands ... into the interior of the United States,\" Trump said in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/presidential-proclamation-addressing-mass-migration-southern-border-united-states/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">proclamation\u003c/a>, calling it a crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'The arrival of large numbers ... will contribute to the overloading of our immigration and asylum system and to the release of thousands ... into the interior of the United States.'\u003ccite>President Trump, in his proclamation\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Administration officials said those denied asylum under the new rules may be eligible for similar forms of protection if they fear returning to their countries, though they would be subject to a tougher threshold. Those forms of protection include \"withholding of removal\" — which is similar to asylum, but doesn't allow for green cards or bringing families into the U.S. too — or protection under the United Nations Convention Against Torture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homeland Security officials said they were adding staffing at the border crossings to manage the expected crush, but it's not clear how migrants, specifically families, would be held as their cases are adjudicated. Family detention centers are largely at capacity. Trump has said he wanted to erect \"tent cities,\" but nothing has been funded or decided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. is also working with Mexico in an effort to send some migrants back across the border. Right now, laws allow only Mexican nationals to be swiftly returned and increasingly those claiming asylum are from Central America, not Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump pushed immigration issues hard in the days leading up to Tuesday's midterm elections, railing against the caravans that are still hundreds of miles from the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He has made little mention of the issue since the election, but has sent troops to the border in response. As of Thursday, there were more than 5,600 U.S. troops deployed, with about 550 actually working on the border in Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also suggested he'd \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11702389/trump-says-he-will-void-birthright-citizenship-law-through-executive-order\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">revoke the right to citizenship for babies born to non-U.S. citizens on American soil\u003c/a> and erect massive \"tent cities\" to detain migrants. Those issues were not addressed by the proclamation. But Trump insisted the citizenship issue would be pushed through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're signing it. We're doing it,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration has long said immigration officials are drowning in asylum cases partly because people falsely claim asylum and then live in the U.S. with work permits. In 2017, the U.S. fielded 331,700 asylum claims, nearly double the number two years earlier and surpassing Germany as the highest in the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Migrants who cross illegally are generally arrested and often seek asylum or some other form of protection.

Those rules would be in place for at least three months but could be extended, and don't affect people already in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's announcement was the latest push to enforce a hard-line stance on immigration through regulatory changes and presidential orders, bypassing Congress, which has not passed any immigration law reform. But those efforts have been largely thwarted by legal challenges and, in the case of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/family-separation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">family separations\u003c/a> this year, stymied by a global outcry that prompted Trump to retreat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials said the asylum law changes are meant to funnel migrants through official border crossings for speedy rulings instead of having them try to circumvent such crossings on the nearly 2,000-mile border. Border Patrol agents in Yuma said they arrested nearly 450 migrants in Western Arizona this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the busy ports of entry already have long lines and waits, forcing immigration officials to tell some migrants to turn around and come back to make their claims. Even despite that, illegal crossings are historically low.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Backlogs have become especially bad in recent months at crossings in California, Arizona and Texas, with some people waiting five weeks to try to claim asylum at San Diego's main crossing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The arrival of large numbers ... will contribute to the overloading of our immigration and asylum system and to the release of thousands ... into the interior of the United States,\" Trump said in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/presidential-proclamation-addressing-mass-migration-southern-border-united-states/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">proclamation\u003c/a>, calling it a crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'The arrival of large numbers ... will contribute to the overloading of our immigration and asylum system and to the release of thousands ... into the interior of the United States.'\u003ccite>President Trump, in his proclamation\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Administration officials said those denied asylum under the new rules may be eligible for similar forms of protection if they fear returning to their countries, though they would be subject to a tougher threshold. Those forms of protection include \"withholding of removal\" — which is similar to asylum, but doesn't allow for green cards or bringing families into the U.S. too — or protection under the United Nations Convention Against Torture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homeland Security officials said they were adding staffing at the border crossings to manage the expected crush, but it's not clear how migrants, specifically families, would be held as their cases are adjudicated. Family detention centers are largely at capacity. Trump has said he wanted to erect \"tent cities,\" but nothing has been funded or decided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. is also working with Mexico in an effort to send some migrants back across the border. Right now, laws allow only Mexican nationals to be swiftly returned and increasingly those claiming asylum are from Central America, not Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump pushed immigration issues hard in the days leading up to Tuesday's midterm elections, railing against the caravans that are still hundreds of miles from the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He has made little mention of the issue since the election, but has sent troops to the border in response.

But I also believe that our federal government must abide by those same laws when it exercises its powers in dealing with those who might want to enter the country.

About 600 migrants in the second group tried to cross a bridge from Guatemala to Mexico en masse on Monday, but were met by ranks of Mexican federal police who blocked them from entering. The riverbank standoff followed a more violent confrontation Sunday when the migrants used sticks and rocks against Mexico police. One migrant was killed Sunday night by a head wound, but the cause was unclear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first group passed through the spot via the river — wading or on rafts — and was advancing through southern Mexico. That group appeared to begin as a collection of about 160 who decided to band together in Honduras for protection against the gangs who prey on migrants traveling alone and snowballed as the group moved north. They are mostly from Honduras, where it started, as well as El Salvador and Guatemala.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, they are poor, carrying belongings that fit into a knapsack and fleeing gang violence or poverty.

About 600 migrants in the second group tried to cross a bridge from Guatemala to Mexico en masse on Monday, but were met by ranks of Mexican federal police who blocked them from entering. The riverbank standoff followed a more violent confrontation Sunday when the migrants used sticks and rocks against Mexico police. One migrant was killed Sunday night by a head wound, but the cause was unclear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first group passed through the spot via the river — wading or on rafts — and was advancing through southern Mexico. That group appeared to begin as a collection of about 160 who decided to band together in Honduras for protection against the gangs who prey on migrants traveling alone and snowballed as the group moved north. They are mostly from Honduras, where it started, as well as El Salvador and Guatemala.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, they are poor, carrying belongings that fit into a knapsack and fleeing gang violence or poverty.
