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.",

Declaring a national emergency would allow the president to divert funding set aside for other purposes for the wall. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his speech, Trump painted an urgent crisis at the border, speaking of \"large, organized caravans\" at the southern border, but most of the migrants waiting at the border have obtained a humanitarian visa from the Mexican government, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/02/05/690345256/fact-check-trumps-state-of-the-union-address#caravans-on-their-way-28\">NPR's John Burnett and Carrie Kahn\u003c/a>.

Trump would face strong pushback immediately by the Democratic-controlled House, but he is also facing opposition from some members of his own party in the Republican-controlled Senate, which could mean a resolution of disapproval could pass both chambers. \u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11722713/pelosi-i-wont-let-republicans-shut-down-government-again\">Pelosi: I Won't Let Republicans Shut Down Government Again\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11722713/pelosi-i-wont-let-republicans-shut-down-government-again\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/GettyImages-1126478789-1038x576.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Legal action in the federal courts is also another likely route to challenge any emergency declaration, and Becerra is a familiar opponent.

Es un honor estar con ustedes desde la escuela secundaria CK McClatchy High School en la ciudad de Sacramento, la capital del estado de California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Me encuentro aquí con futuros líderes de nuestro país — estudiantes de la McClatchy — donde yo también estudié, pero hace como cuatro décadas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yo soy hijo de inmigrantes trabajadores y el primero en mi familia que pudo caminar por las puertas de la universidad — y por las puertas de la oportunidad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mis padres empezaron su vida aquí por la misma razón que viene mucha gente a este país: para trabajar duro y darles a sus hijos una vida mejor. Al salir de Guadalajara, Jalisco, México, trajeron con ellos su fé y no mucho más. Confiaban en la promesa de este país de que todos aquellos que se esfuerzan y cumplen con las reglas, se han ganado la oportunidad de salir adelante.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sé que soy producto de los que lucharon por abrir estas puertas de oportunidad. El optimismo que caracteriza las olas de inmigrantes que han llegado aquí corre en mi sangre. Y si el estado de nuestra nación se puede caracterizar como fuerte, es porque gente como mis padres y los suyos ciudadanos o migrantes — construyeron este país.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Durante 24 años de servicio como congresista en Washington, yo conocí mucho de nuestro gran país y trabajé con tres presidentes diferentes. Y, ahora, como fiscal general, defendiendo y abogando por los derechos de millones de americanos aquí en California, y por extensión, en todo los Estados Unidos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Permítanme una observación obvia: No hay otro país como los Estados Unidos. El mundo nos necesita fuerte y listo. Y nos busca como líder y socio. Si se cae América, todo el mundo se lastima. El estado de nuestro país decide destinos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¿Cómo puede ser, entonces, que el estado de nuestra joven, rica, y fuerte nación ahora es desorden, tensión, hostilidad?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¿Cómo puede ser que lo que defina el estado de nuestro país en el año 2019 es el cierre del gobierno a manos del presidente Trump? Y no sólo una vez, pero quizás una segunda vez en las próximas semanas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¿Quién pudiera creer que el estado de nuestra Unión sea impulsada por una obsesión extravagante del presidente Trump de construir un muro en la frontera que ni los expertos quieren? El presidente ya ni repite su promesa de que México pagaría los miles de millones que cuesta este muro.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y sí todo eso no fuera suficiente para preocuparnos, ¿cómo se explica que nuestra nación vive bajo una intensa investigación sobre la interferencia rusa en nuestras elecciones presidenciales del 2016 y sobre el papel que jugó el Presidente Trump? Criminalidad, conspiración, obstrucción de justicia — todas estas sombras oscuras siguen a Donald Trump y a su administración.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No es sorpresa que la mayoría del pueblo aquí en los Estados Unidos piense que el país camina en la dirección equivocada. Y que cuatro de cada diez Americanos creen que este es el peor gobierno que han visto en su vida.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Esta noche era para convencernos que de ahora en adelante paraba el engaño y la disfunción y que empezaba la cooperación. Lo que escuchamos fue el cansado refrán de \"construir muros.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Si el presidente Trump quisiera avanzar en serio una reforma migratoria integral incluyendo la seguridad fronteriza, los Demócratas estamos y hemos estado listos. Pero cerrar nuestro gobierno — y dejar sin empleo o pago a cientos de miles de trabajadores no es la manera de hacerlo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y la idea de declarar un estado de emergencia en la frontera cuando uno no existe, para justificar robar fondos que le pertenecen a los desamparados de los incendios, inundaciones y huracanes, para pagar por el muro no solo es inmoral, es ilegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Estamos listos para rechazar esta propuesta insensata, en la corte, en el momento que toque la tierra.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>El muro en la frontera no es la única barrera que estamos viendo de esta administración que trata de construir: \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Están poniendo un muro entre usted y su médico, dictando cuales servicios puede recibir. Por eso, mis colegas y yo defendemos en la corte a personas como Elizabeth del estado de la Florida, teniendo cobertura de salud, eso le dejo a ella terminar sus estudios universitarios y aseguró que su marido tuviera cobertura para poder vencer el cáncer. Y ahora Elizabeth es abogada.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>También la administración de Presidente Trump, ellos construyen un muro entre usted y las urnas de votación. Pero aquí tengo noticias: Fracasaron.

Declaring a national emergency would allow the president to divert funding set aside for other purposes for the wall. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his speech, Trump painted an urgent crisis at the border, speaking of \"large, organized caravans\" at the southern border, but most of the migrants waiting at the border have obtained a humanitarian visa from the Mexican government, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/02/05/690345256/fact-check-trumps-state-of-the-union-address#caravans-on-their-way-28\">NPR's John Burnett and Carrie Kahn\u003c/a>.

Es un honor estar con ustedes desde la escuela secundaria CK McClatchy High School en la ciudad de Sacramento, la capital del estado de California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Me encuentro aquí con futuros líderes de nuestro país — estudiantes de la McClatchy — donde yo también estudié, pero hace como cuatro décadas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yo soy hijo de inmigrantes trabajadores y el primero en mi familia que pudo caminar por las puertas de la universidad — y por las puertas de la oportunidad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mis padres empezaron su vida aquí por la misma razón que viene mucha gente a este país: para trabajar duro y darles a sus hijos una vida mejor. Al salir de Guadalajara, Jalisco, México, trajeron con ellos su fé y no mucho más. Confiaban en la promesa de este país de que todos aquellos que se esfuerzan y cumplen con las reglas, se han ganado la oportunidad de salir adelante.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sé que soy producto de los que lucharon por abrir estas puertas de oportunidad. El optimismo que caracteriza las olas de inmigrantes que han llegado aquí corre en mi sangre. Y si el estado de nuestra nación se puede caracterizar como fuerte, es porque gente como mis padres y los suyos ciudadanos o migrantes — construyeron este país.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Durante 24 años de servicio como congresista en Washington, yo conocí mucho de nuestro gran país y trabajé con tres presidentes diferentes. Y, ahora, como fiscal general, defendiendo y abogando por los derechos de millones de americanos aquí en California, y por extensión, en todo los Estados Unidos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Permítanme una observación obvia: No hay otro país como los Estados Unidos. El mundo nos necesita fuerte y listo. Y nos busca como líder y socio. Si se cae América, todo el mundo se lastima.

Y no sólo una vez, pero quizás una segunda vez en las próximas semanas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¿Quién pudiera creer que el estado de nuestra Unión sea impulsada por una obsesión extravagante del presidente Trump de construir un muro en la frontera que ni los expertos quieren? El presidente ya ni repite su promesa de que México pagaría los miles de millones que cuesta este muro.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y sí todo eso no fuera suficiente para preocuparnos, ¿cómo se explica que nuestra nación vive bajo una intensa investigación sobre la interferencia rusa en nuestras elecciones presidenciales del 2016 y sobre el papel que jugó el Presidente Trump? Criminalidad, conspiración, obstrucción de justicia — todas estas sombras oscuras siguen a Donald Trump y a su administración.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No es sorpresa que la mayoría del pueblo aquí en los Estados Unidos piense que el país camina en la dirección equivocada. Y que cuatro de cada diez Americanos creen que este es el peor gobierno que han visto en su vida.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Esta noche era para convencernos que de ahora en adelante paraba el engaño y la disfunción y que empezaba la cooperación. Lo que escuchamos fue el cansado refrán de \"construir muros.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Si el presidente Trump quisiera avanzar en serio una reforma migratoria integral incluyendo la seguridad fronteriza, los Demócratas estamos y hemos estado listos.

Por eso, mis colegas y yo defendemos en la corte a personas como Elizabeth del estado de la Florida, teniendo cobertura de salud, eso le dejo a ella terminar sus estudios universitarios y aseguró que su marido tuviera cobertura para poder vencer el cáncer. Y ahora Elizabeth es abogada.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>También la administración de Presidente Trump, ellos construyen un muro entre usted y las urnas de votación. Pero aquí tengo noticias: Fracasaron.

Y eso ha cambiado la política de nuestra nación. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ahora que ven su poder, ¿están listos para abrir nuevas puertas?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¿No les parece que ya es ahora de que nosotros y nuestro gobierno construya escuelas, no muros? ¡Entonces, prepárense, esas manos pueden cambiar mucho, esas manos pueden cambiar con la próxima votación!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nuestro sistema demócrata premia a la participación de todos. Y con 66,000 ciudadanos Latinos cumpliendo 18 años de edad, la edad de votación, cada mes, tenemos muchas manos que premiar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Imagínense si tuviéramos el poder de decidir la agenda política de esta nación.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mejores escuelas . . .

Pero estas son las soluciones que abren puertas de la oportunidad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En las cortes o en el Congreso o en las urnas de la votación, tenemos que luchar por nuestra agenda. Por eso es que yo he luchado como fiscal general en la corte contra la administración del presidente.

Empezaron su viaje juntos solo con su fe. Todavía recuerdan los días cuando no podían cruzar las puertas de restaurantes debido a los letreros que les decían: \"Los perros o mexicanos no permitidos.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Con los años, han recibido los premios de su labor y dedicación a su familia. No hay duda de que el \"estado de la unión\" de María Teresa y Manuel Becerra es fuerte y sólido.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y si les preguntamos a ellos, mis padres, cuales el estado de nuestra nación? Estoy seguro que pintarían un imagen más real que lo que nos presentó el presidente Trump esta noche. Ellos saben lo que significa trabajar duro y respetar las reglas. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y bien que saben que para mantenernos fuertes como pueblo unido hay que trabajar juntos y mantener abiertas esas pesadas puertas para que todos nuestros hijos, como los estudiantes de CK McClatchy, puedan cruzar y conocer la oportunidad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ya sea con marchas en las calles o marchas a las urnas de votación, con luchas en la corte o a través del Congreso, haremos lo que se necesita para asegurar una unión nacional fuerte y vibrante. Amigos, con fe y la fuerza de nuestra labor y respetando las diversas contribuciones del pueblo Americano, los Estados Unidos seguirá siendo el dueño del Sueño Americano. Muchas gracias, buenas noches y que Dios los bendiga. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

"content": "\u003cp>President Donald Trump and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday hardened their positions about a border wall, casting doubt on the prospects of Capitol Hill negotiations intended to reach a compromise and avoid a second government shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's not going to be any wall money in the legislation,\" Pelosi told reporters. Her remarks came after Democrats had signaled at least some flexibility in the talks on border security funding that began only Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi's stance came as Trump used Twitter to reiterate his demands on the wall, and appeared to sour on the congressional talks aimed at striking a deal with Democrats. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that Pelosi is \"just playing games\" and repeated his threat to declare a national emergency and transfer billions of dollars in previously allocated funds to build the wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a barrage of morning tweets, Trump sent mixed messages in which he alternately hardened his wall demand and also suggested that repairing existing fencing is a big part of his plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Lets just call them WALLS from now on and stop playing political games! A WALL is a WALL!,\" Trump tweeted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1090946116496117760\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1090947003868213248\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats offered further details of their border security plan on Thursday, unveiling a measure that would not provide a penny for a wall, ignoring Trump's warnings that they'd be wasting their time if they don't come up with wall money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Democratic measure, totaling almost $22 billion for the customs service, border patrol and immigration agents, would significantly increase spending for scanners at ports of entry, humanitarian aid for apprehended migrants, and new aircraft to police the U.S.-Mexico border.

"headTitle": "The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>The Trump administration on Tuesday quietly launched an effort to make asylum-seekers wait in Mexico while their cases wind through U.S. immigration courts, despite clear reservations and conflicting messages from the Mexican government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. returned one asylum-seeker to Mexico — a Honduran man named Carlos Gomez — on the first day of what would be one of the most dramatic changes to the U.S. immigration system of Donald Trump's presidency, if the policy survives an anticipated legal challenge. Gomez, 55, arrived in Tijuana around midday and asked authorities for a ride to a migrant shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mexican and U.S. authorities are asking San Diego-based nonprofits for help connecting asylum-seekers to legal services after they’re returned to Mexico. But Andrea Guerrero of Alliance San Diego said that's unrealistic, and that migrant advocacy groups don’t have the capacity to deal with this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's unreasonable to expect that they're going to be making international phone calls to access U.S.-based legal service providers who may or may not have the capacity to cross an international border,\" Guerrero said. She added that the new program \"undermines\" the due process rights of asylum-seekers.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11721178/one-shutdown-ends-another-begins\">One Shutdown Ends, Another Begins\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11721178/one-shutdown-ends-another-begins\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/shut_012519_final-1020x767.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The only pro bono legal service provider in Tijuana is Al Otro Lado. Nicole Ramos, an attorney with the nonprofit, said it doesn't have the capacity to represent the number of individuals that the U.S. plans to return to Mexico, and that this program \"will complicate even the most basic presentation of a case,\" as well as expose asylum-seekers to historically high levels of violence in Tijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mexican officials sent mixed signals on the crucial point of whether Mexico would impose limits on accepting families. Tonatiuh Guillen, commissioner of Mexico's National Immigration Institute, said Mexico would accept only people 18 to 60 years old, which rules out families with young children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Roberto Velasco, spokesman for Mexico's foreign relations secretary, said Friday that families would be considered case by case. And a Mexican official with direct knowledge of the process said Mexico requested that families be excluded from the policy but that the U.S. declined to make any commitment, conceding only to start with single adults. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the deliberations were not public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The launch is limited to San Diego's San Ysidro border crossing, the nation's busiest, though Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan wrote in a memo released Tuesday that it is expected to expand to other crossings \"in the near future.\" Adding to a sense of confusion, Guillen said Mexico will allow it only at the one crossing that connects San Diego and Tijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katie Waldman, a Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman, insisted families will be included.

Gomez, 55, arrived in Tijuana around midday and asked authorities for a ride to a migrant shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mexican and U.S. authorities are asking San Diego-based nonprofits for help connecting asylum-seekers to legal services after they’re returned to Mexico. But Andrea Guerrero of Alliance San Diego said that's unrealistic, and that migrant advocacy groups don’t have the capacity to deal with this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's unreasonable to expect that they're going to be making international phone calls to access U.S.-based legal service providers who may or may not have the capacity to cross an international border,\" Guerrero said. She added that the new program \"undermines\" the due process rights of asylum-seekers.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11721178/one-shutdown-ends-another-begins\">One Shutdown Ends, Another Begins\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11721178/one-shutdown-ends-another-begins\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/shut_012519_final-1020x767.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The only pro bono legal service provider in Tijuana is Al Otro Lado. Nicole Ramos, an attorney with the nonprofit, said it doesn't have the capacity to represent the number of individuals that the U.S. plans to return to Mexico, and that this program \"will complicate even the most basic presentation of a case,\" as well as expose asylum-seekers to historically high levels of violence in Tijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mexican officials sent mixed signals on the crucial point of whether Mexico would impose limits on accepting families. Tonatiuh Guillen, commissioner of Mexico's National Immigration Institute, said Mexico would accept only people 18 to 60 years old, which rules out families with young children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Roberto Velasco, spokesman for Mexico's foreign relations secretary, said Friday that families would be considered case by case. And a Mexican official with direct knowledge of the process said Mexico requested that families be excluded from the policy but that the U.S. declined to make any commitment, conceding only to start with single adults. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the deliberations were not public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The launch is limited to San Diego's San Ysidro border crossing, the nation's busiest, though Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan wrote in a memo released Tuesday that it is expected to expand to other crossings \"in the near future.\" Adding to a sense of confusion, Guillen said Mexico will allow it only at the one crossing that connects San Diego and Tijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katie Waldman, a Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman, insisted families will be included. A sharp increase in Central American families seeking asylum in the U.S. led to the Trump administration's dramatic move, and limiting families would diminish the impact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It will be expanded across the entire Southwest border, and it will apply to family groups,\" Waldman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Updated Friday at 6:45 p.m. PST\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The longest government shutdown in history ended after President Trump signed a bipartisan three-week stopgap funding measure late Friday. Several agencies had been partially shuttered for 35 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I am very proud to announce today that we have reached a deal to end the shutdown and reopen the federal government,\" Trump said earlier Friday in the White House Rose Garden, announcing the long-awaited bipartisan breakthrough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By Friday evening, the House and Senate had unanimously passed the bill to fund the government through Feb. 15. Lawmakers also authorized moving forward on a longer-term Department of Homeland Security funding bill for the rest of the fiscal year, where border security funds can be negotiated on a bipartisan basis. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question remains, however, what exactly Trump accomplished with his firm stance against any deal without funding for a border wall, which he eventually capitulated to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The stopgap measure does not include funding for the wall along the U.S.-Mexico border that Trump has pushed for. The Homeland Security bill does not include money earmarked for a wall, either, but a bipartisan group of lawmakers will hammer out the details over the next few weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, as the president's \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/01/17/685539207/poll-trump-approval-down-slips-with-base\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">approval ratings tumbled\u003c/a> and polls showed the \u003ca href=\"https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/americans-increasingly-blame-trump-for-the-government-shutdown\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">public largely blamed Republicans\u003c/a> for the increasingly dire situation — punctuated on Friday by \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/688660390\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">massive delays at major airports\u003c/a> and recent warnings about a threat to national security — Trump finally seemed to back down from his demands. At least for now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Another shutdown looming in three weeks?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump seemed to revive earlier deal-breakers as he ended his speech, warning that if negotiations over the next three weeks don't result in funding for the \"powerful wall or steel barrier\" he has demanded, \"the government would either shut down again\" or he would declare a national emergency to build the wall. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have a very powerful alternative, but I didn't want to use it at this time. Hopefully it will be unnecessary,\" Trump teased at the beginning of his remarks about the extreme measures — which would very likely face legal challenges in court. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We do not need 2,000 miles of concrete wall from sea to shiny sea,\" the president added, showing an openness to some technology efforts that some Democrats have signaled they could back. Still, he reiterated proposals to build barriers in specific areas identified by the Border Patrol, strengthen security at legal ports of entry and provide humanitarian assistance to those who have crossed the border. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Walls or barriers or whatever you want to call it will be an important part of the solution,\" said Trump, who \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/683920624\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">has regularly contradicted himself\u003c/a> on how he describes the promised wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1088958154791100417\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">insisted later Friday evening\u003c/a> on Twitter that the deal \"was in no way a concession.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Democrats take a victory lap\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump and Republicans had long maintained any deal to end the shutdown must include funding for the border wall the president wants, which was his key promise during the 2016 campaign. But Democrats said they should reopen the government and then resume talks, which is exactly what Friday's deal does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic leaders argued their conference's unity is what eventually caused Trump to cave. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The American people do not like it when you throw a wrench into the lives of government workers over an unrelated political dispute,\" Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., told reporters. \"Hopefully now the president has learned his lesson.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first signs of a crack in Trump's resolve came earlier this week. After House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said he could not give the State of the Union address until after the shutdown, Trump threatened to hold the annual speech someplace else. But he backed down hours later \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/01/23/687745949/trump-says-state-of-the-union-will-be-on-schedule-and-on-location\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">and said he would defer to Pelosi\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's unclear when the State of the Union, which had been slated for next Tuesday, will happen following Friday's deal to end the shutdown. Pelosi told reporters that it is \"not planned now\" and that she had told Trump \"when the government is opened we will discuss a mutually agreeable date.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi, a veteran appropriator, said she was hopeful the three-week talks would produce a deal on border security, though she didn't answer a question about whether that may include any funding for even portions of a wall.

Several agencies had been partially shuttered for 35 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I am very proud to announce today that we have reached a deal to end the shutdown and reopen the federal government,\" Trump said earlier Friday in the White House Rose Garden, announcing the long-awaited bipartisan breakthrough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By Friday evening, the House and Senate had unanimously passed the bill to fund the government through Feb. 15. Lawmakers also authorized moving forward on a longer-term Department of Homeland Security funding bill for the rest of the fiscal year, where border security funds can be negotiated on a bipartisan basis. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question remains, however, what exactly Trump accomplished with his firm stance against any deal without funding for a border wall, which he eventually capitulated to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The Homeland Security bill does not include money earmarked for a wall, either, but a bipartisan group of lawmakers will hammer out the details over the next few weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, as the president's \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/01/17/685539207/poll-trump-approval-down-slips-with-base\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">approval ratings tumbled\u003c/a> and polls showed the \u003ca href=\"https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/americans-increasingly-blame-trump-for-the-government-shutdown\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">public largely blamed Republicans\u003c/a> for the increasingly dire situation — punctuated on Friday by \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/688660390\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">massive delays at major airports\u003c/a> and recent warnings about a threat to national security — Trump finally seemed to back down from his demands. At least for now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Another shutdown looming in three weeks?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump seemed to revive earlier deal-breakers as he ended his speech, warning that if negotiations over the next three weeks don't result in funding for the \"powerful wall or steel barrier\" he has demanded, \"the government would either shut down again\" or he would declare a national emergency to build the wall. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have a very powerful alternative, but I didn't want to use it at this time. Hopefully it will be unnecessary,\" Trump teased at the beginning of his remarks about the extreme measures — which would very likely face legal challenges in court. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We do not need 2,000 miles of concrete wall from sea to shiny sea,\" the president added, showing an openness to some technology efforts that some Democrats have signaled they could back. Still, he reiterated proposals to build barriers in specific areas identified by the Border Patrol, strengthen security at legal ports of entry and provide humanitarian assistance to those who have crossed the border. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Walls or barriers or whatever you want to call it will be an important part of the solution,\" said Trump, who \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/683920624\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">has regularly contradicted himself\u003c/a> on how he describes the promised wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1088958154791100417\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">insisted later Friday evening\u003c/a> on Twitter that the deal \"was in no way a concession.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Democrats take a victory lap\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump and Republicans had long maintained any deal to end the shutdown must include funding for the border wall the president wants, which was his key promise during the 2016 campaign. But Democrats said they should reopen the government and then resume talks, which is exactly what Friday's deal does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic leaders argued their conference's unity is what eventually caused Trump to cave. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The American people do not like it when you throw a wrench into the lives of government workers over an unrelated political dispute,\" Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., told reporters. \"Hopefully now the president has learned his lesson.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first signs of a crack in Trump's resolve came earlier this week. After House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said he could not give the State of the Union address until after the shutdown, Trump threatened to hold the annual speech someplace else. But he backed down hours later \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/01/23/687745949/trump-says-state-of-the-union-will-be-on-schedule-and-on-location\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">and said he would defer to Pelosi\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's unclear when the State of the Union, which had been slated for next Tuesday, will happen following Friday's deal to end the shutdown. Pelosi told reporters that it is \"not planned now\" and that she had told Trump \"when the government is opened we will discuss a mutually agreeable date.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi, a veteran appropriator, said she was hopeful the three-week talks would produce a deal on border security, though she didn't answer a question about whether that may include any funding for even portions of a wall. She has repeatedly said she is opposed to a wall and has called it \"immoral.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I see every challenge or every crisis as an opportunity,\" Pelosi said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking on the Senate floor shortly after Trump endorsed the deal, McConnell said he too was optimistic, but with some caveats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Going forward, I hope Democrats will stay true to the commitment they have stated constantly over the past weeks — that once government was reopened, they would be perfectly willing to negotiate in good faith on full-year government funding that would include a significant investment in urgently needed border security measures, including physical barriers,\" McConnell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Consequences of the prolonged shutdown\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal employees who have been working without pay or are furloughed would also get back pay as part of the agreement, though it's unclear how long that might take. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The American Federation of Government Employees says workers could get back pay as soon as next Thursday, but the union says it is also possible they won't get paid until their next scheduled pay date during the week of Feb. 4.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A senior administration official says \"the administration is taking steps to ensure that they receive pay as soon as possible.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal contractors also impacted by the shutdown would not get any back pay. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The breakthrough comes as federal workers missed their second paycheck in a row, now going without their salaries for more than a month.

The plan, coming out of talks with Mexican officials, is to bus asylum-seekers back and forth from Tijuana, Mexico, to a courthouse in downtown San Diego. The administration plans to eventually implement the policy at other border crossings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen first announced the plans for this \"historic\" policy, called the \"Migration Protection Protocols,\" in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.dhs.gov/news/2018/12/20/secretary-nielsen-announces-historic-action-confront-illegal-immigration\">memo\u003c/a> issued in late December.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Aliens trying to game the system to get into our country illegally will no longer be able to disappear into the United States, where many skip their court dates. Instead, they will wait for an immigration court decision while they are in Mexico. 'Catch and release' will be replaced with 'catch and return,' \" said Nielsen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Catch and release\" is a term the Trump administration uses for the traditional policy of allowing asylum-seekers to remain in the U.S. pending a court hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \"Fact Sheet\" issued by the Department of Homeland Security to explain the new policy says asylum-seekers \"will be given a 'Notice to Appear' for their immigration court hearing and will be returned to Mexico until their hearing date.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"While aliens await their hearings in Mexico, the Mexican government has made its own determination to provide such individuals the ability to stay in Mexico, under applicable protection based on the type of status given to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Aliens who need to return to the U.S. to attend their immigration court hearings will be allowed to enter the U.S. and attend that hearing. Aliens whose claims are found meritorious by an immigration judge will be allowed to remain in the U.S. Those determined to be without valid claims will be removed from the U.S. to their country of nationality or citizenship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"DHS is working closely with the U.S. Department of Justice's Executive Office for Immigration Review to streamline the process and conclude removal proceedings as expeditiously as possible.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The new policy, which has been dubbed \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/01/11/684037990/border-patrol-makes-its-case-for-an-expanded-border-barrier\">Remain in Mexico\u003c/a>\" by administration officials and critics alike, will not apply to children traveling alone, known as unaccompanied minors, or to asylum-seekers from Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"info": "The MindShift podcast explores the innovations in education that are shaping how kids learn. Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
