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.",

Within about a week, all but two of the 10 people in the household had tested positive for COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Low-income communities of color — especially Latinos — are increasingly bearing the brunt of the coronavirus pandemic in California, where spreading infections among poor service workers living in crowded conditions has highlighted widening racial and economic inequities. These disparities are particularly stark in idyllic Marin, where a surge of new COVID-19 cases concentrated in one crowded neighborhood has helped land the county on the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/CountyMonitoringDataStep2.aspx\">state’s pandemic watchlist.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Latinos, who comprise 16% of the county’s population, account for 75% of coronavirus infections — closer to 90% since mid-June, according to Dr. Matt Willis, the public health officer for Marin County. After recording only a handful of coronavirus cases in the early months of the pandemic, the county now has the highest per-capita rate in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is our essential workforce,” said Willis. “This isn’t the result of casual socializing at happy hour.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Canal, named for the waterway on its northern border that was once San Rafael’s commercial waterfront, is a flat, densely populated district in a Bay Area suburb famous for its wooded hillside hamlets and multimillion-dollar vistas. The Canal’s 2.5 square miles are dotted by auto shops, scruffy palm trees and rows of low-slung apartment buildings occupied by immigrants from countries such as Mexico, Guatemala and El Salvador. An influx of young Latinos has nearly tripled the neighborhood’s population since the 1990s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s like a Hispanic village where everybody knows everybody else,” said Jennifer Tores, 22, a Canal native who works at a discount clothing store.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11828620 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/GettyImages-1211223326-1-1020x720.jpg']The laborers of the Canal are both a world away from and intimately connected to well-heeled towns like San Anselmo and Tiburon, where they clean mansions, wax Teslas and steam milk for $6 lattes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than half of families in the neighborhood earn less than $35,000 a year, in a county where the median income is almost triple that.

Kamala Harris is his pick to join him on the ticket as his party’s vice presidential candidate in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have the great honor to announce that I’ve picked @KamalaHarris – a fearless fighter for the little guy, and one of the country’s finest public servants – as my running mates,” Biden said in a tweet around 1:20 Pacific Time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Biden campaign said the two will deliver remarks in Delaware soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/JoeBiden/status/1293280411150217219?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the Oakland-born child of a Jamaican American father and a mother who emigrated from India, Harris will be the first Black or Asian American woman to run as vice president on a major-party presidential ticket. She will also be the first California Democrat ever to be in that position.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi praised Biden’s choice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Joe Biden’s naming of Senator Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee for Vice President marks an historic and proud milestone for our country. As the Vice President of the United States, Senator Harris will continue her legacy of trailblazing leadership to move our nation forward,” Pelosi said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, who was one of four people on the team vetting VP candidates, offered congratulations to Harris, saying they had been “friends for many years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She is passionate. She is powerful. She is brilliant. She is compassionate. Kamala Harris will help Joe Biden unite the American people, restore our nation’s soul, and rebuild our country so it’s even stronger than it was before,” Garcetti said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, who replaced Harris when she was elected to the U.S. Senate, praised Biden’s choice and said a Biden/Harris win would be good for California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And so I think what it means is all the innovation, all those ideas, all that energy, all that forward-leaning motion that California is known for will be there present in the White House. And I think that’s good for everybody. As goes California, so goes the country,” Becerra told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Republican National Committee greeted news of Harris’ selection with scorn, calling her policies “radical” and “extreme.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Kamala Harris’ extreme positions, from raising taxes to abolishing private health insurance to comparing law enforcement officials to the KKK, show that the left-wing mob is controlling Biden’s candidacy,” said RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel. “These radical policies might be popular among liberals, but they are well outside the mainstream for most Americans.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former Democratic California Sen. Barbara Boxer, whose seat Harris now holds, said the most important policy records for voters to consider are Joe Biden’s and President Trump’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that every single person who’s ever held public office has a record that can be attacked, and Kamala has a record that can be attacked,” Boxer said. “It also can be supported. So right now, she’s not running on her record. She’s running to help Joe Biden get elected. And the record that’s going to be in front of us is really his record.

The EDD has said a representative will determine eligibility on a case-by-case basis by scheduling a phone interview. For example, you may be eligible for unemployment benefits if your employer has temporarily allowed you to work less than full-time hours due to your child care situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In such cases, you may be eligible for reduced benefits based on the amount of your weekly earnings, as long as you meet all other eligibility requirements. The department will contact you and your employer for information to determine your eligibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Can I collect benefits if my child’s school shuts down and I have to stay home to care for my child if I’m not currently employed or I had to quit work because of my child care needs?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>You may be eligible for unemployment benefits. An EDD representative will determine eligibility on a case-by-case basis by scheduling a phone interview with you.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Are benefits available if my employer reduces my hours or shuts down operations due to impacts of the coronavirus?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>If your employer reduced your hours or shut down operations due to COVID-19, you are encouraged to file a claim. Unemployment provides partial wage replacement to workers who lose their job or have their hours reduced, through no fault of their own. Workers who are temporarily unemployed due to COVID-19 and expected to return to work with their employer within a few weeks are not required to actively seek work each week. However, they must remain able, available and ready to work during their unemployment for each week of benefits claimed and meet all other eligibility criteria.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>How much can I collect in benefits with an unemployment insurance claim?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>You can use the \u003ca href=\"https://www.edd.ca.gov/Unemployment/UI-Calculator.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">unemployment insurance calculator\u003c/a> to help estimate your potential weekly benefit amount.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Can I still collect unemployment benefits if I am able to work remotely from home?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Working your full normal hours remotely would not qualify you for benefits. However, you could collect some benefits if your usual number of work hours are reduced through no fault of your own. The first $25 or 25% of your wages, whichever is the greater amount, is not counted as wages earned and will not be reduced from your weekly benefit amount. For example, if you earned $100 in a week, the department would not count $25 as wages and would only deduct $75 from your weekly benefit amount. For someone who has a weekly benefit amount of $450, they would be paid a reduced amount of $375.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Can I collect disability and unemployment benefits at the same time?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>You have the right to apply and file a claim for unemployment and disability benefits at the same time, but you can only collect payments under one benefit program at a time. The EDD encourages people to file a claim under one program based on your circumstances or file under both programs if you are unsure of which program is most appropriate. The department has said they will review the facts and determine eligibility for the appropriate program.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Can I start collecting disability benefits and then transition to an unemployment claim if my workplace operations continue to be impacted with a slowdown or shutdown?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Yes. If your employer shuts down operations or reduces hours for workers while you are on your disability claim, you may apply for unemployment benefits at that time. The EDD said they will help determine the start of your unemployment claim as long as you meet all other eligibility requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Can I start collecting unemployment benefits because I am laid off or have had my work hours reduced, and then switch to a disability claim if I become sick?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Yes. If you become sick while you are out of work, you can apply for a disability claim, which can provide a higher benefit amount if you’re eligible. A medical certification is required to substantiate your illness. If you are approved for a disability insurance claim, your unemployment claim will be suspended. If you recover but remain unemployed, you may then return to the remainder of your benefits as long as you remain out of work and are otherwise eligible. You will need to reapply to reopen your unemployment claim.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Can I start collecting unemployment benefits because I am laid off or have had my work hours reduced, and then switch to a Paid Family Leave claim if I have to care for a family member who is sick?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Yes. If you have a family member who becomes sick while you are out of work, you can apply for a Paid Family Leave claim which can provide a higher benefit amount. A medical certification is required to prove your family member’s illness. If you are approved for a \u003ca href=\"https://www.edd.ca.gov/Disability/How_to_File_a_PFL_Claim_in_SDI_Online.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Paid Family Leave\u003c/a> claim, your Unemployment Insurance (UI) claim will be suspended.

If you are an independent contractor, you should list yourself as your last employer. If you believe you are misclassified as an independent contractor instead of an employee, you should list the business you contract with as your last employer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Be sure to include:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The employer name, phone number and address.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Type of work performed.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Dates worked.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Your gross wages and how you were paid (such as hourly or weekly).\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>If you are a gig worker, you should list your gig employer as your last employer.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch4>Would I qualify for benefits if I choose to stay home from work due to underlying health conditions and concerns about exposure to the virus?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>You can be eligible for benefits if you choose to stay home. Once you file your claim, the department will contact you if they need more information.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Would I qualify for benefits if my child’s school shuts down and I have to miss work to care for that child who is not ill?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>You may be eligible for unemployment benefits. The EDD has said a representative will determine eligibility on a case-by-case basis by scheduling a phone interview. For example, you may be eligible for unemployment benefits if your employer has temporarily allowed you to work less than full-time hours due to your child care situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In such cases, you may be eligible for reduced benefits based on the amount of your weekly earnings, as long as you meet all other eligibility requirements. The department will contact you and your employer for information to determine your eligibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Can I collect benefits if my child’s school shuts down and I have to stay home to care for my child if I’m not currently employed or I had to quit work because of my child care needs?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>You may be eligible for unemployment benefits. An EDD representative will determine eligibility on a case-by-case basis by scheduling a phone interview with you.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Are benefits available if my employer reduces my hours or shuts down operations due to impacts of the coronavirus?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>If your employer reduced your hours or shut down operations due to COVID-19, you are encouraged to file a claim. Unemployment provides partial wage replacement to workers who lose their job or have their hours reduced, through no fault of their own. Workers who are temporarily unemployed due to COVID-19 and expected to return to work with their employer within a few weeks are not required to actively seek work each week. However, they must remain able, available and ready to work during their unemployment for each week of benefits claimed and meet all other eligibility criteria.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>How much can I collect in benefits with an unemployment insurance claim?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>You can use the \u003ca href=\"https://www.edd.ca.gov/Unemployment/UI-Calculator.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">unemployment insurance calculator\u003c/a> to help estimate your potential weekly benefit amount.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Can I still collect unemployment benefits if I am able to work remotely from home?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Working your full normal hours remotely would not qualify you for benefits. However, you could collect some benefits if your usual number of work hours are reduced through no fault of your own. The first $25 or 25% of your wages, whichever is the greater amount, is not counted as wages earned and will not be reduced from your weekly benefit amount. For example, if you earned $100 in a week, the department would not count $25 as wages and would only deduct $75 from your weekly benefit amount. For someone who has a weekly benefit amount of $450, they would be paid a reduced amount of $375.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Can I collect disability and unemployment benefits at the same time?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>You have the right to apply and file a claim for unemployment and disability benefits at the same time, but you can only collect payments under one benefit program at a time. The EDD encourages people to file a claim under one program based on your circumstances or file under both programs if you are unsure of which program is most appropriate. The department has said they will review the facts and determine eligibility for the appropriate program.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Can I start collecting disability benefits and then transition to an unemployment claim if my workplace operations continue to be impacted with a slowdown or shutdown?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Yes. If your employer shuts down operations or reduces hours for workers while you are on your disability claim, you may apply for unemployment benefits at that time. The EDD said they will help determine the start of your unemployment claim as long as you meet all other eligibility requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Can I start collecting unemployment benefits because I am laid off or have had my work hours reduced, and then switch to a disability claim if I become sick?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Yes. If you become sick while you are out of work, you can apply for a disability claim, which can provide a higher benefit amount if you’re eligible. A medical certification is required to substantiate your illness. If you are approved for a disability insurance claim, your unemployment claim will be suspended. If you recover but remain unemployed, you may then return to the remainder of your benefits as long as you remain out of work and are otherwise eligible. You will need to reapply to reopen your unemployment claim.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Can I start collecting unemployment benefits because I am laid off or have had my work hours reduced, and then switch to a Paid Family Leave claim if I have to care for a family member who is sick?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Yes. If you have a family member who becomes sick while you are out of work, you can apply for a Paid Family Leave claim which can provide a higher benefit amount. A medical certification is required to prove your family member’s illness. If you are approved for a \u003ca href=\"https://www.edd.ca.gov/Disability/How_to_File_a_PFL_Claim_in_SDI_Online.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Paid Family Leave\u003c/a> claim, your Unemployment Insurance (UI) claim will be suspended. If you complete your Paid Family Leave claim and remain unemployed, you may then return to the remainder of your unemployment benefits as long as you are out of work and eligible. You will need to reapply to reopen your unemployment claim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Officers who don’t intercede could be criminally charged as accessories to any crimes committed by those who use excessive force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Associations representing police officers say a new state law already gives officers a duty to intercede. They say more training and strong policies are better than criminalizing officers who may only have passing involvement.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Victims’ Compensation\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[aside tag=\"sean-monterrosa, vallejo\" label=\"more related stories\"] \u003c/span>AB 767 by Assemblyman Tim Grayson, D-Concord, would allow even criminal suspects and their survivors to apply for victims’ compensation if they were injured or killed by police use of excessive force. The first-in-the-nation proposal supported by State Treasurer Betty Yee, who sits on the California Victim Compensation Board, would also let the board consider documents beyond police reports that proponents said can be biased.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates include the sisters of 22-year-old Sean Monterrosa, who was killed June 2 in Vallejo, near San Francisco, when police suspected him of stealing from a pharmacy on the night of a national protests over Floyd’s death. Police say what they thought was a gun turned out to be a hammer.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Rubber Bullets\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>AB 66 by Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez, D-San Diego, would respond to perceived police overreactions during recent protests by limiting the use of tear gas, pepper spray, rubber bullets and other projectiles against demonstrators.

State Sen. Bob Archuleta, D-Pico Rivera, said that can make it difficult for civilians to distinguish officers from members of the National Guard. He said it can also sow fear and confusion, as when federal officers wore camouflage while confronting protesters in Portland, Oregon.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Independent Investigations\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>AB 1506 by Assemblyman Kevin McCarty, D-Sacramento, would create a new division within the state Department of Justice that, if requested by a local law enforcement agency, would investigate an officer-involved shooting or other use of force that kills a civilian. The department could also prosecute any officer it found had violated state law.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Sheriffs Oversight\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>AB1185, also by McCarty, would let county supervisors name inspectors general to help oversee independently elected county sheriffs.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Police Records\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>SB 776 by state Sen. Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley, would expand a 2019 law that lifted some of the nation’s most secretive police records by requiring public access to disciplinary records involving investigations into officer shootings, use-of-force incidents and incidents involving officer misconduct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It would add records of discipline against officers accused of racist or discriminatory actions, or those who have a history of wrongful arrests or searches, among others. Investigations would be completed even if officers resign. Records fees would be limited and fines imposed on agencies that don’t comply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Numerous law enforcement organizations say the bill would remove a requirement that only sustained complaints be made public.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Decertifying Officers\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>SB 731 by state Sen. Steven Bradford, D-Gardena, would allow the state Department of Justice to revoke the certification of officers if they are fired for misconduct or convicted of certain crimes, to prevent them from getting new law enforcement jobs elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Police Chiefs Association, which initially supported the idea, now says the legislation “is overly complex” and would remove immunity protections for all public employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Juvenile Interrogations\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SB 203, also by Bradford, would would bar those who are 17 years old or younger from being questioned by police or waiving their rights until they have a chance to consult with an attorney. California currently applies those restrictions to youths 15 years or younger.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Bill Clinton was president and Republican Pete Wilson was governor. Two years earlier, led by Democrats, Congress had passed a \u003ca href=\"https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/6/20/18677998/joe-biden-1994-crime-bill-law-mass-incarceration\">national crime bill\u003c/a>, while California voters overwhelmingly approved the state’s draconian \u003ca href=\"https://www.courts.ca.gov/20142.htm#:~:text=California's%20Three%20Strikes%20sentencing%20law%20was%20originally%20enacted%20in%201994,otherwise%20provided%20for%20the%20crime\">three-strikes law\u003c/a> a few months later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a movement that crossed party lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I found myself standing before a judge … where I was being sentenced and tried as an adult and basically told that I was gonna go to prison for the rest of my life,” Mendoza recalled. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“(I was) called the super predator, a monster, a kid who was never going to succeed … At that age, I couldn’t fathom or understand why I was being thrown away. And it felt really hopeless,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mendoza likely would have spent the rest of his life in prison. But in 2013, state lawmakers passed \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140SB260\">a bill\u003c/a> allowing parole hearings for inmates like him, who committed their crimes as juveniles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Jessica Levinson, Loyola Law School\"]‘What’s gonna hurt Gov.

It’s a name that inevitably comes up when you talk about the intersection of politics and criminal justice. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Horton, a Black man, was used in Republican campaign ads to attack Democrat Michael Dukakis during the 1988 presidential race against George H.W.

Newsom released this prisoner and then they did this egregious thing,’ ” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even a progressive Democrat in a deep-blue state will consider the political tradeoffs, Levinson said. She noted that under both Newsom and his predecessor, Jerry Brown, the state only moved to cut the prison population under duress: first a court order, now a global pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What’s gonna hurt Gov. Newsom more? Is it a story that there was a coronavirus explosion in the prisons or is it a story that a prisoner that he released committed a heinous crime? I think it’s probably door number two, and I think that could be part of his reticence,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mark Leno spent 14 years in the state Legislature starting in 2002. He had a front-row seat to the state’s evolution on criminal justice policy over that period, as voters became more disillusioned with prison spending and more open to rolling back the harsh laws of the 1990s.

That’s all you need. One horrible situation where someone re-offends in a very unpleasant, brutal way,” Leno said. “And so that’s always in the back of someone’s mind. And nothing is foolproof. Nothing is 100% … There is risk involved.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leno was among the Democrats pushing most aggressively for more prison releases during his time in the Legislature, and he came up against staunch opposition, even when the \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=200920100SB1399\">prisoners in question were comatose\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’d think that would be the low-hanging fruit, that would be the slam dunk,” he said of the bill to release medically incapacitated prisoners, who were costing the state tens of millions of dollars a year. “We got a lot of resistance to this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leno noted that it wasn’t just the Supreme Court order that finally prompted state leaders to consider laws aimed at reducing the prison population: It was that order, combined with a state budget crisis, as well as shifting public opinion. Many of the most significant criminal justice reforms enacted in California over the past decade were passed by voters, not lawmakers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among those who have voted against those types of laws consistently is state Sen. Jim Nielsen, R-Tehama. He opposes Newsom’s release plan, even though it is largely limited to prisoners set for release soon anyway, saying it ignores the rights of victims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The victims, they are the most forgotten individuals in all of criminal justice today … They have no standing anymore. And that’s very tragically sad,” Nielsen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11829407 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/DSC01718-1020x681.jpeg']Nielsen also believes that the prisoners set for release are not yet rehabilitated, and that they could spread COVID-19 to the broader community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They will be doing what un-rehabilitated criminals do. They will re-offend,” he said. “And in this particular case, they have been in an infected environment. And it’s rather ironic and risky, ironic and risky, to put individuals who have been in a high-risk environment into the community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But former prisoners like Michael Mendoza are hopeful. He said he’s seen a notable shift among both state leaders and the public in recent years, and the substantive policy change that’s come out of that evolution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are more people that are impacted by the criminal justice system like myself that are out here and advocating, sharing our stories … How we are human beings, how we do have the capacity to grow, mature and change,” Mendoza said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Newsom may be not going as far or as fast as Mendoza would like, he still sees this governor as the most willing to try in recent memory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Only \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/31/politics/uscis-new-fees/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">three other countries\u003c/a> – Australia, Fiji and Iran – charge fees for asylum seekers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fee increases come at a time when USCIS is \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11830463/federal-citizenship-agency-delays-furloughs-for-two-thirds-of-its-staff\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">threatening to furlough\u003c/a> more than two-thirds of its staff later this month, unless Congress provides it with a $1.2 billion bailout to sustain operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike other federal agencies, USCIS depends on application fees to fund the vast majority of its operations. In its new rule, the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees USCIS, said getting rid of fee exemptions and raising charges will help the agency recuperate the full costs of adjudicating petitions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11830463 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS44036_GettyImages-1257627413-qut-1020x680.jpg']After DHS proposed most of the changes back in November, many raised concerns eligible immigrants would be discouraged or priced out from U.S. citizenship and other petitions. But DHS largely dismissed those public comments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“DHS believes that immigration to the United States remains attractive to millions of individuals around the world and that its benefits continue to outweigh the costs noted by the commenters,” according to the rule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, more than \u003ca href=\"https://dornsife.usc.edu/csii/eligible-to-naturalize-map/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2.2 million immigrants\u003c/a> are eligible to become U.S. citizens, the most of any state nationwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The current cost of applying, $725, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11660853/immigrants-seek-stability-of-u-s-citizenship-but-cost-is-often-a-barrier\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">is a barrier\u003c/a> to many low-income immigrants who are eligible to naturalize as American citizens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>USCIS may waive the fees associated with processing an application if the individual proves they are unable to pay. Between 2013 and 2016, the agency approved 2 million requests for fee waivers, foregoing more than $1 billion in revenue, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/USCIS%20-%20Fee%20Waiver%20Policies%20and%20Data.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">agency\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the new rule, only victims of domestic violence or severe human trafficking crimes and other vulnerable populations who are very low income will be eligible for fee waivers. Green card, naturalization and other applicants will no longer have the option of fee exemptions regardless of their income level, while facing dramatically higher charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The increases are sending a really loud message that there is a paywall to receive immigration benefits,” said Elena Fairley, programs director at Mission Asset Fund, a nonprofit in San Francisco that provided 0% interest loans to hundreds of people to apply for U.S. citizenship last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And that combined with other policies from the current administration, is making it exceedingly difficult for people to become citizens in this country and participate fully,” she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fairley said her organization expects more immigrants will need financial help to afford application fees, but she anticipates raising funds to cover those loans will become more difficult because of the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigrants have faced deeper job cuts than U.S.-born workers during the COVID-19 recession: a 19% drop in employment compared to 12%, according to the Pew Research Center. In California, UC Merced researchers estimate 688,000 non-citizens lost jobs during the first weeks of the pandemic, with the highest impact among immigrant women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",
