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.",

When Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested him in Los Angeles, Saucedo said he didn’t have his wallet or cell phone. Now, he wished he had enough money to call his children, back home in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I spent so many years in California. Practically speaking, my life is there,\" said Saucedo, who lived in the Los Angeles area for 27 years and worked as a restaurant cook. “Now I can’t see my family.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The experiences of recent deportees like Saucedo highlight ways the Trump administration has reshaped immigration policies affecting hundreds of thousands of people. Under President Trump, the federal government \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/removal-statistics/2017\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stepped up deportations\u003c/a> of non-citizens without criminal violations, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/eoir/page/file/1061526/download\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rejected more\u003c/a> asylum applicants than in any year in the last decade. Such changes, ordered by Trump during his first weeks in office, are in stark contrast to immigration enforcement under the latter years of the Obama administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mexicans deported from California often end up first in Tijuana, a city local leaders say is absorbing thousands of deportees and also migrants from other countries who were drawn to the U.S. border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The police officers who arrived at the scene also detained him, possibly because of an old bench warrant after he failed to appear in court for a 2008 misdemeanor charge of vandalism. Saucedo said he appeared before a judge in Los Angeles County Superior Court and was released on probation.

She said that is what usually happens when asylum-seekers enter with U.S.-citizen children, and added that Pinheiro had no prior removal orders or a criminal record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They've essentially stripped (this mother) of her parental rights without any due process even though she's followed all the rules,\" Pinheiro said. \"She's sought asylum legally and she should be with her son right now.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Customs and Border Protection did not respond to repeated requests for comment as to why this particular family was separated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, Pinheiro visited the San Ysidro Port of Entry to determine the status of her client and to request that her client be released on parole for the well-being of her son.

The government has agreed to halt deportations for the time being as another case involving family separation works its way through a federal court in Washington, D.C. Sabraw’s ruling came despite arguments from government officials that the San Diego-based judge did not have the authority to halt deportations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sabraw’s ruling follows two affidavits filed by the ACLU alleging U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers are \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11682633/chaos-coercion-alleged-as-u-s-government-prepares-to-deport-many-separated-migrant-families\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">purposely misleading migrant parents\u003c/a> separated from their children into agreeing to deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to an affidavit provided by attorney Laila Arand under penalty of perjury, four parents separated in Texas were handed forms by ICE agents with three options: parents could either choose to be deported immediately with their children, to be deported without their children -- should they lose their immigration case -- or to talk to an attorney before deciding what to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The forms were put in front of the parents on a bus. According to the affidavit, ICE loaded the parents on the bus with promises of reunification, before stopping it 10 minutes into the journey and turning around to the El Paso deportation center. Then, as parents wondered whether the reunifications with their children had been canceled, ICE agents handed out the forms to the worried parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The affidavit states that ICE officers pressured the parents to agree to deportation. Arand reports that ICE officers told one parent if he did not sign the forms agreeing to deportation, he would “never see his child again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the forms were already filled out before the parents received them, with the first option -- deportation -- selected. All four parents Arand spoke with refused to sign the forms, and none of the parents were given a copy of the form ICE required them to sign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another affidavit, Oregon-based attorney Stephen Manning stated that children should have their own “credible fear” interviews for asylum independent of their parents. He stated that this has been the practice conducted by ICE in the past for families held in detention together and facing expedited removal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As in the past, if any member of the family -- parent or child -- passes a credible fear interview, the whole family goes into regular immigration proceedings, instead of the fast-tracked expedited removal process. Manning said that had the families not been separated, both the parents and the kids would have had a chance to pass these credible fear interviews, and parents would not have been forced to choose between staying with their child or letting their child pursue asylum on their own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These new claims come after a federal attorney argued on Friday that such coercive tactics were not happening, and that halting deportations was unnecessary and would lead to burdensome logistical problems for government officers.\u003c/p>\n\n",

According to the affidavit, ICE loaded the parents on the bus with promises of reunification, before stopping it 10 minutes into the journey and turning around to the El Paso deportation center. Then, as parents wondered whether the reunifications with their children had been canceled, ICE agents handed out the forms to the worried parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The affidavit states that ICE officers pressured the parents to agree to deportation. Arand reports that ICE officers told one parent if he did not sign the forms agreeing to deportation, he would “never see his child again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the forms were already filled out before the parents received them, with the first option -- deportation -- selected. All four parents Arand spoke with refused to sign the forms, and none of the parents were given a copy of the form ICE required them to sign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another affidavit, Oregon-based attorney Stephen Manning stated that children should have their own “credible fear” interviews for asylum independent of their parents. He stated that this has been the practice conducted by ICE in the past for families held in detention together and facing expedited removal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As in the past, if any member of the family -- parent or child -- passes a credible fear interview, the whole family goes into regular immigration proceedings, instead of the fast-tracked expedited removal process. Manning said that had the families not been separated, both the parents and the kids would have had a chance to pass these credible fear interviews, and parents would not have been forced to choose between staying with their child or letting their child pursue asylum on their own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These new claims come after a federal attorney argued on Friday that such coercive tactics were not happening, and that halting deportations was unnecessary and would lead to burdensome logistical problems for government officers.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>The story begins at the San Ysidro Port of Entry where, on the Mexican side, there is a plaza that for much of the day acts as an impromptu playground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Women sit at the edges of this plaza in the shade of a high metal border fence. Their children play soccer and tag in the middle of the plaza, their faces dirty and their clothes torn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is where people wait to legally enter the United States and ask for asylum.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Heat, Thirst, Boredom and Delay\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>By midafternoon at the plaza, the sun is high and there is no shade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s too hot to nap, and the kids are too hungry to play. But they’re bored and restless, and there is no apparent end to their wait. So the children who are old enough to venture by themselves group up, and slowly walk back and forth between a white metal fence and the street. They examine the ground, they pick at the cigarette butts, candy wrappers and leaves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The toddlers also group up, but stay closer to their mothers. They sit in a circle — some cross-legged, some on their knees — and roll small tangerines on the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other toddlers sit by themselves, staring off toward a beige-colored stucco wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The women — most of them mothers — sit with their heads buried in their hands, or their laps, or the hood of their jackets. Some nurse infants. Some ration out water to their children from gallon jugs. A lucky few lay on a handful of cardboard boxes and are sleeping.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, those with papers and passports allowing them to enter the U.S. walk past to the San Ysidro Port of Entry, often looking past the children and families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A man walks over from the pharmacy across the street, bringing a box of water, Gatorade, candy bars, bread and apples. All of a sudden, the entire plaza awakens. Teenagers and toddlers swarm the man, even before he can lay the box on the ground. Within a minute, the entire box is gone. The man turns to get another box of supplies. He is swarmed in the middle of the street. A toddler cries out that they didn’t get a drink, and a teenage boy hands him their Gatorade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a group of families who have spent their life savings and traveled from four continents to get to this plaza, this has been their life for almost a month. They are essentially waiting to get on a waitlist so they can apply to enter the United States \u003cem>legally\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And many of them say they have been turned away by U.S. Border Patrol officers multiple times, which, if true, would mean federal officers are refusing to enforce federal law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11681476\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11681476\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/WomenWaitingBorder-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Women, most of them mothers, wait on the Mexican side of the border in the hopes of getting on a waitlist for an asylum interview.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/WomenWaitingBorder-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/WomenWaitingBorder-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/WomenWaitingBorder-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/WomenWaitingBorder-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/WomenWaitingBorder.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/WomenWaitingBorder-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/WomenWaitingBorder-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/WomenWaitingBorder-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/WomenWaitingBorder-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/WomenWaitingBorder-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Women, most of them mothers, wait on the Mexican side of the border in the hopes of getting on a waitlist for an asylum interview. \u003ccite>(Ariana Dreshler/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Fleeing Personal, Criminal and Political Violence\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>As part of the Trump administration’s zero tolerance immigration policies, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the government will no longer consider asylum cases based on domestic violence claims, or to flee gang or crime warfare.

He told them the U.S. does not accept asylum claims anymore. After two lawyers identified themselves and demanded the officer begin the asylum process, he turned around and walked into a room in the border corridor. Shortly after, a private security guard came out and demanded everyone leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After this exchange, the KQED reporter walked over to the station headquarters and asked to speak with a supervisor. The Border Patrol agent at the desk refused and said, “It’s weird you care about asylum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Are you applying for asylum?” he continued. “Because we don’t process those anymore. And I’m not answering any of your questions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED has since asked for comments from Customs and Border Protection multiple times.

But according to Bardis Vakili of the San Diego ACLU, these “turnarounds” have taken on a “sharper edge.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s heartlessness and cruelty compounded by ineptitude,” said Vakili. “This is a suffering population who we need to process in some fair way. These are people who are desperate for protection and to protect their children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Janet Napolitano, former Department of Homeland Security chief (and the former governor of a border state), said that even if immigration judges ultimately deny the asylum claims, all people who present themselves at a U.S. port of entry are entitled by federal law to be put on the list for a “credible fear interview.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What that Border Patrol agent said [about not accepting asylum cases] is absolutely wrong,” said Napolitano, who is now president of the University of California. “It’s not the law.

A group of 13 mothers, organized by lawyers from Pittsburgh and San Diego, presented themselves to a Border Patrol agent for an asylum claim. It appeared that the request was organized just a few hours before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group did not make it past this first step.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As they walked toward the U.S. Port of Entry, a Border Patrol agent greeted them in a long corridor. He told them the U.S. does not accept asylum claims anymore. After two lawyers identified themselves and demanded the officer begin the asylum process, he turned around and walked into a room in the border corridor. Shortly after, a private security guard came out and demanded everyone leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After this exchange, the KQED reporter walked over to the station headquarters and asked to speak with a supervisor. The Border Patrol agent at the desk refused and said, “It’s weird you care about asylum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Are you applying for asylum?” he continued. “Because we don’t process those anymore. And I’m not answering any of your questions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED has since asked for comments from Customs and Border Protection multiple times.

But according to Bardis Vakili of the San Diego ACLU, these “turnarounds” have taken on a “sharper edge.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s heartlessness and cruelty compounded by ineptitude,” said Vakili. “This is a suffering population who we need to process in some fair way.

Now, in a new filing, they’re asking the federal government to provide more immediate information and access to those detained under the policy on an “expedited schedule.”[contextly_sidebar id=\"Ia0vmAO4LjpX4fPD28WIz4H7lzlRAfCw\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The motion \u003ca href=\"https://ag.ny.gov/sites/default/files/child_declarations.pdf\">filed Monday\u003c/a> came with more than 900 pages of declarations that included personal testimonies from parents, children and other family members who were directly impacted by the Trump policy. It also included declarations from the state attorneys general offices, elected representatives, advocates and child and immigration experts who have dealt with families separated at the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump signed an executive order on June 20, halting the separation practice and ordering families to be detained together instead. But in a statement, the attorneys general criticized the administration’s response. “Hundreds of separated parents are in federal custody and the Administration can move them to other facilities at any time without notice,” they said in the statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The PBS NewsHour reached out to the federal agencies involved in the separation of families at the border — the Departments of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services; U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement — for a response. All said they were unable to comment on ongoing litigation. The Department of Justice also declined to comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said Thursday the agency was prepared to reunite separated children with their parents, and would prioritize children under age 5 starting next week. But Azar, speaking to reporters, said families that have been reunited could still experience long stays in detention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear how the lawsuit filed by the attorneys general would impact the administration’s efforts to reunify separated families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The NewsHour read through all 99 declarations and pulled 12 that offer a window into what’s has been happening under the family separation policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What Parents Say\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“(My son) is not the same since we were reunited. I thought that, because he is so young he would not be traumatized by this experience, but he does not separate from me. He cries when he does not see me. That behavior is not normal. In El Salvador he would stay with his dad or my sister and not cry. Now he cries for fear of being alone.”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Olivia Caceres was separated from her 1-year-old son in November at a legal point of entry. The boy’s father, who was seeking asylum, remains detained, Caceres said. It took three months for Caceres to get her son back from government custody. According to her testimony, she said that after reuniting with her toddler, “he continued to cry when we got home and would hold on to my leg and would not let me go. When I took off his clothes he was full of dirt and lice. It seemed like they had not bathed him the 85 days he was away from us.”[contextly_sidebar id=\"1wKaQAyAkuqMNlxTuDwuLOdhBF0iL0do\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“They told me to sign a consent form to take my daughter, but that it did not matter whether or not I signed, because they were going to take her either way.”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Angelica Rebeca Gonzalez-Garcia was apprehended and separated from her 7-year-old daughter in May. She hasn’t seen her since. She said officers at the border told her she would never see her daughter again, and that she had “‘endangered’ her by bringing her here,” she wrote. “I cannot express the pain and fear I felt at that point,” she wrote. Gonzalez-Garcia said she has spoken by phone to her daughter, who is currently in a shelter and said that she had been hit by a boy, was bruised and had gotten sick there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“…One of the officers asked me, “In Guatemala do they celebrate Mother’s Day?” When I answered yes he said, “then Happy Mother’s Day” because the next Sunday was Mother’s Day. I lowered my head so that my daughter would not see the tears forming in my eyes. That particular act of cruelty astonished me then as it does now. I could not understand why they hated me so much, or wanted to hurt me so much,” she wrote as part of her statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“For eight days I was held in a small room with over 60 men. We called it The Freezer because the air conditioning was so strong that we felt like ice. The men got sick inside and we had to sleep, use the toilet, and pass the time all in the same tiny room.”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— “L. Doe,” the father to a 5-year-old son and 1.5-year-old daughter, wrote that he and his family presented themselves at a port of entry to apply for asylum. They were separated immediately. He remains in detention. “My thoughts run in circles, and I feel as though I am going to lose my mind. I need to see my family and take care of them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“[The children] did not have shoes or blankets in the detention center, and there were people in the cells that had to sleep standing up.

The family was reunited June 28 in Boston. She wrote that she was kept in a cell with nearly 50 other mothers. “The officers told them that they could not eat because they were asking about their children. There was a pregnant woman who fainted from hunger.”[contextly_sidebar id=\"kgvbnXUJ4dTVqfuwXPRufwHcqHZbww8t\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to her statement, Jimenez was not allowed “to bathe or brush her teeth for the eight days that she spent in the ‘dog pound.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was an immigration officer who was a good person. He said that he understood what was going on, but could not help. He brought them cookies, since he knew they did not get enough to eat.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“I am worried about M.’s mental health when he learns that we have to start the process again and that he is not going to be released soon.”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Francisco Serrano, a Washington, D.C., resident whose niece Maria crossed the U.S. border at San Ysidro in Southern California with her two children, age 2 and 7, as part of a caravan. A week later, a shelter called Serrano, informing him that Maria was going to separated from her children, and that she had asked for Serrano to be a sponsor. Serrano describes trying to become an approved sponsor as a process marked by complications and insufficient communication. In June, he said a social worker told him he would have to restart the sponsorship process again “because the rules changed.” Maria is on her way to Washington, D.C., but the boys are still in custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 7-year-old, identified in the declaration as “M.”, “asked me why I had not picked him up yet,” Serrano wrote. “The social worker told me that [he] is depressed and asked me for words of encouragement to cheer him up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What Officials Say\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“The guards would wake all the girls up at 4 a.m. to count them by kicking on their mats. … G cried when she told me she kept hoping her mother would show up to take her out of that horrible place, but that never happened. … G overheard a girl asking to make a phone call to her family, but she was told they did not allow girls to make phone calls while detained.\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Alma Poletti, an investigator for Washington’s attorney general, interviewed eight children who were separated from their families and sent to the Seattle area for care and detention. “The place was freezing …The girls placed their mats in the floor very close to one another, since there was not enough space to fit them more comfortably. Girls as young as 3 years old were detained in this place and without their mothers,” Poletti wrote. She said one girl, 14, referred to as “G,” “felt hungry most of the time she was there because the food they provided her wasn’t good in quality or quantity.” “G” couldn’t sleep through the night, Poletti added.[contextly_sidebar id=\"tuJ0OrkOp5NgO3h12FPqNLMIK4Avv8wi\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“The placement of children with sponsors who have not been subject to the degree of evaluation and screening required by New Jersey law in all other circumstances substantially increases the risk that such children will be abuse or neglected.”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Christine Norbut-Beyer, the commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Children and Families, said the Office of Refugee Resettlement’s rules for taking care of children placed in foster care are less rigorous than state laws in New Jersey. “The home study requirements in ORR policy also fall short of requirements imposed by New Jersey law on all other foster care or adoptive placements in the state,” she wrote. “This is important because it shows that a child’s conditions in custody under ORR might meet federal guidelines, but don’t meet state laws.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“ORR does not provide information to [relevant state agencies] about the specific location or placement of unaccompanied minors.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Marcela Ruiz, the chief of the Immigration and Refugees Program Branch of the California Department of Social Services, added in her statement that “state-funded programs that serve unaccompanied minors in California rely on the State’s funding to support outreach, identification, and referral services.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What Advocates Say\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“I simply cannot believe that my government could have done this to these people.”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Taylor Levy, the legal coordinator for the nonprofit Annunciation House, testified that he had worked with asylum seekers at the border for nine years. “I have borne witness to countless stories of rape, torture and murder. Despite all of this, I have never been as emotionally impacted by anything as intensely as I have been working with these mothers and fathers as they desperately struggle to be reunited with their minor children.”[contextly_sidebar id=\"eILFCrc43gQ59B9CldIZ5zJbSKdKYrsu\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“It is evident to [Kids in Need of Defense] that there is no consistent policy for ensuring communication among separated children and parents.”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Jennifer Podkul, policy director for KIND, which provides legal assistance to children in immigration court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What Medical Experts Say\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“Prolonged stress (also known as toxic stress) can permanently disrupt the structure and function of a child’s developing brain.

In a separate testimony, Mitchell Katz, president and CEO of New York City’s public health care system, said that “NYC Health + Hospitals have treated several children who, based upon information provided to us in the course of taking patient histories, were separated from their families at the southwestern United States border … for such condition as asthma, strep throat, and suicidal ideation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What Lawmakers Say\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“Both men visibly struggled to maintain their composure while recounting the trauma that they experienced since coming to the United States and ultimately broke down into tears.

Dutch Ruppersberger, a Democratic congressman for Maryland, visited a detention center last month in Glen Burnie, Maryland, while the Trump administration was still separating children under its “zero tolerance” policy. There, he met two men who had been separated from their children under the policy. One of the men, identified as Carlos, fled Honduras with his 7-year-old son and reached the U.S. border at El Paso, Texas. He was arrested by border agents in March. The father, who said he was fleeing gang violence, wanted to claim asylum at the port of entry. Days later, Carlos was separated from his son. “Three months passed before Carlos was able to speak to his son again,” according to Ruppersberger’s testimony.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Carlos had the foresight to make his son memorize a relative’s phone number before they left Honduras. As a result, his son was able to contact the relative, who connected him to another family member in the United States. Carlos still did not know when he would be able to see his son again,” the congressman added.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Now, in a new filing, they’re asking the federal government to provide more immediate information and access to those detained under the policy on an “expedited schedule.”\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The motion \u003ca href=\"https://ag.ny.gov/sites/default/files/child_declarations.pdf\">filed Monday\u003c/a> came with more than 900 pages of declarations that included personal testimonies from parents, children and other family members who were directly impacted by the Trump policy. It also included declarations from the state attorneys general offices, elected representatives, advocates and child and immigration experts who have dealt with families separated at the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump signed an executive order on June 20, halting the separation practice and ordering families to be detained together instead. But in a statement, the attorneys general criticized the administration’s response. “Hundreds of separated parents are in federal custody and the Administration can move them to other facilities at any time without notice,” they said in the statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The PBS NewsHour reached out to the federal agencies involved in the separation of families at the border — the Departments of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services; U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement — for a response. All said they were unable to comment on ongoing litigation. The Department of Justice also declined to comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said Thursday the agency was prepared to reunite separated children with their parents, and would prioritize children under age 5 starting next week. But Azar, speaking to reporters, said families that have been reunited could still experience long stays in detention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I thought that, because he is so young he would not be traumatized by this experience, but he does not separate from me. He cries when he does not see me. That behavior is not normal. In El Salvador he would stay with his dad or my sister and not cry. Now he cries for fear of being alone.”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Olivia Caceres was separated from her 1-year-old son in November at a legal point of entry. The boy’s father, who was seeking asylum, remains detained, Caceres said. It took three months for Caceres to get her son back from government custody. According to her testimony, she said that after reuniting with her toddler, “he continued to cry when we got home and would hold on to my leg and would not let me go. When I took off his clothes he was full of dirt and lice. It seemed like they had not bathed him the 85 days he was away from us.”\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“They told me to sign a consent form to take my daughter, but that it did not matter whether or not I signed, because they were going to take her either way.”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Angelica Rebeca Gonzalez-Garcia was apprehended and separated from her 7-year-old daughter in May. She hasn’t seen her since. She said officers at the border told her she would never see her daughter again, and that she had “‘endangered’ her by bringing her here,” she wrote. “I cannot express the pain and fear I felt at that point,” she wrote. Gonzalez-Garcia said she has spoken by phone to her daughter, who is currently in a shelter and said that she had been hit by a boy, was bruised and had gotten sick there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“…One of the officers asked me, “In Guatemala do they celebrate Mother’s Day?” When I answered yes he said, “then Happy Mother’s Day” because the next Sunday was Mother’s Day. I lowered my head so that my daughter would not see the tears forming in my eyes. That particular act of cruelty astonished me then as it does now. I could not understand why they hated me so much, or wanted to hurt me so much,” she wrote as part of her statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“For eight days I was held in a small room with over 60 men. We called it The Freezer because the air conditioning was so strong that we felt like ice. The men got sick inside and we had to sleep, use the toilet, and pass the time all in the same tiny room.”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— “L. Doe,” the father to a 5-year-old son and 1.5-year-old daughter, wrote that he and his family presented themselves at a port of entry to apply for asylum. They were separated immediately. He remains in detention. “My thoughts run in circles, and I feel as though I am going to lose my mind. I need to see my family and take care of them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“[The children] did not have shoes or blankets in the detention center, and there were people in the cells that had to sleep standing up. They did not have enough to eat either, and could not drink the water, because of the chlorine they added to it … the incarcerated children were insulted – called named such as “animals” and “donkeys.”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Ludin Jimenez said she was separated from her children, age 9 and 17, when she crossed the border in May seeking asylum. The family was reunited June 28 in Boston. She wrote that she was kept in a cell with nearly 50 other mothers. “The officers told them that they could not eat because they were asking about their children. There was a pregnant woman who fainted from hunger.”\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to her statement, Jimenez was not allowed “to bathe or brush her teeth for the eight days that she spent in the ‘dog pound.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was an immigration officer who was a good person. He said that he understood what was going on, but could not help. He brought them cookies, since he knew they did not get enough to eat.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“I am worried about M.’s mental health when he learns that we have to start the process again and that he is not going to be released soon.”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Francisco Serrano, a Washington, D.C., resident whose niece Maria crossed the U.S. border at San Ysidro in Southern California with her two children, age 2 and 7, as part of a caravan. A week later, a shelter called Serrano, informing him that Maria was going to separated from her children, and that she had asked for Serrano to be a sponsor. Serrano describes trying to become an approved sponsor as a process marked by complications and insufficient communication. In June, he said a social worker told him he would have to restart the sponsorship process again “because the rules changed.” Maria is on her way to Washington, D.C., but the boys are still in custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 7-year-old, identified in the declaration as “M.”, “asked me why I had not picked him up yet,” Serrano wrote. “The social worker told me that [he] is depressed and asked me for words of encouragement to cheer him up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What Officials Say\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“The guards would wake all the girls up at 4 a.m. to count them by kicking on their mats. … G cried when she told me she kept hoping her mother would show up to take her out of that horrible place, but that never happened. … G overheard a girl asking to make a phone call to her family, but she was told they did not allow girls to make phone calls while detained.\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Alma Poletti, an investigator for Washington’s attorney general, interviewed eight children who were separated from their families and sent to the Seattle area for care and detention. “The place was freezing …The girls placed their mats in the floor very close to one another, since there was not enough space to fit them more comfortably. Girls as young as 3 years old were detained in this place and without their mothers,” Poletti wrote. She said one girl, 14, referred to as “G,” “felt hungry most of the time she was there because the food they provided her wasn’t good in quality or quantity.” “G” couldn’t sleep through the night, Poletti added.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“The placement of children with sponsors who have not been subject to the degree of evaluation and screening required by New Jersey law in all other circumstances substantially increases the risk that such children will be abuse or neglected.”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Christine Norbut-Beyer, the commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Children and Families, said the Office of Refugee Resettlement’s rules for taking care of children placed in foster care are less rigorous than state laws in New Jersey. “The home study requirements in ORR policy also fall short of requirements imposed by New Jersey law on all other foster care or adoptive placements in the state,” she wrote. “This is important because it shows that a child’s conditions in custody under ORR might meet federal guidelines, but don’t meet state laws.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“ORR does not provide information to [relevant state agencies] about the specific location or placement of unaccompanied minors.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Marcela Ruiz, the chief of the Immigration and Refugees Program Branch of the California Department of Social Services, added in her statement that “state-funded programs that serve unaccompanied minors in California rely on the State’s funding to support outreach, identification, and referral services.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What Advocates Say\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“I simply cannot believe that my government could have done this to these people.”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Taylor Levy, the legal coordinator for the nonprofit Annunciation House, testified that he had worked with asylum seekers at the border for nine years. “I have borne witness to countless stories of rape, torture and murder. Despite all of this, I have never been as emotionally impacted by anything as intensely as I have been working with these mothers and fathers as they desperately struggle to be reunited with their minor children.”\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“It is evident to [Kids in Need of Defense] that there is no consistent policy for ensuring communication among separated children and parents.”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Jennifer Podkul, policy director for KIND, which provides legal assistance to children in immigration court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What Medical Experts Say\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“Prolonged stress (also known as toxic stress) can permanently disrupt the structure and function of a child’s developing brain. These changes can manifest as greater likelihood of adopting unhealthy behaviors (e.g., smoking and illicit drug use), increased risk of diseases (e.g., obesity, heart disease and cancer), depression and socioeconomic inequalities.”\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Howard Zucker, the Commissioner of the New York State Department of Health. In a separate testimony, Mitchell Katz, president and CEO of New York City’s public health care system, said that “NYC Health + Hospitals have treated several children who, based upon information provided to us in the course of taking patient histories, were separated from their families at the southwestern United States border … for such condition as asthma, strep throat, and suicidal ideation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What Lawmakers Say\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“Both men visibly struggled to maintain their composure while recounting the trauma that they experienced since coming to the United States and ultimately broke down into tears. Our interpreter too broke down into tears, finding their stories too painful to bear.”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Rep. C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger, a Democratic congressman for Maryland, visited a detention center last month in Glen Burnie, Maryland, while the Trump administration was still separating children under its “zero tolerance” policy. There, he met two men who had been separated from their children under the policy. One of the men, identified as Carlos, fled Honduras with his 7-year-old son and reached the U.S. border at El Paso, Texas. He was arrested by border agents in March. The father, who said he was fleeing gang violence, wanted to claim asylum at the port of entry. Days later, Carlos was separated from his son. “Three months passed before Carlos was able to speak to his son again,” according to Ruppersberger’s testimony.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He said the center will work with immigration officials to reunite those parents with their children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's this perception out there that asylum-seekers are 'illegal aliens,' as they call them — I hate that term,\" Jenkins said. \"These are people who are trying as best they can, fleeing for their lives, being persecuted, being threatened, and they're coming across the border in accordance with U.S. and international humanitarian laws.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/iUamZMMtXkg\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Already, about a dozen churches and homes have offered to join the network to help asylum-seekers while they await their days in court. Jenkins said those who can't provide beds can help with donations, including diapers, toys and hygiene items.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the asylum-seekers at the center is Isatu Mansaray, a 25-year-old woman who said she fled Sierra Leone after she refused an arranged marriage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The guy was 87 years old, and I say, 'I'm too young to get married to old person because of money.' I said no,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mansaray said that after refusing the marriage, her father threatened to kill her for not accepting the proposal because he believed the family needed the money. She showed KPBS some welts on her arms where she said her father beat her with a red-hot iron he had held over a fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said she fled to the U.S. and asked for asylum at the San Ysidro Port of Entry. Immigration officials released her on parole and dropped her off at the Christ United Methodist Ministry Center, where a church volunteer promised help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He said, 'I will do everything possible for you because I know you're a strong woman,' \" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other women spoke on condition of anonymity because they feared retaliation. One Honduran woman said she's worried about the Trump administration's push to exclude gang violence and domestic violence from the U.S. asylum process because that's what she and a majority of Central Americans are fleeing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Every day they change the laws,\" she said, sighing. \"I try not to watch the news anymore because it upsets me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she said she is grateful, at least, to have a place to sleep.
