As \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Central Valley Bureau Chief based in Fresno for nearly a dozen years, Sasha brought the lives and concerns of rural Californians to listeners around the state. Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R.

His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>SAN DIEGO — An investigation into two Marines accused of helping smuggle migrants into the United States led to the arrest Thursday of 16 of their fellow Marines at California's Camp Pendleton, just north of the U.S.-Mexico border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a dramatic move aimed at sending a message, authorities made the arrests as the Marines gathered in formation with their battalion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of the 16 Marines were involved in helping enforce border security, the Marine Corps said in a news release. They are accused of crimes ranging from migrant smuggling to drug-related offenses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials could not immediately be reached for additional details.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The arrests came weeks after two Marines were arrested by a Border Patrol agent on suspicion of transporting three Mexicans on the promise of money after they crossed illegally into the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The military said the investigation helped authorities identify the 16 Marines arrested at the largest Marine Corps base on the West Coast, about 55 miles from San Diego's border with Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Retired Marine Lt. Col. Gary Barthel called it a \"kind of black eye for the Marine Corps,\" and said it was important the military show that criminal behavior will not be tolerated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Obviously, I think it looks bad whenever you have the military that is helping protect the border and then you've got military people smuggling,\" said Barthel, an attorney at the Military Law Center in Carlsbad, north of San Diego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marines and other U.S. troops were brought in last year to help reinforce the border by installing razor wire on top of existing barriers, among other things. Troops are barred from arresting migrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All 16 were junior enlisted Marines. Barthel said smugglers may have targeted young troops who could be vulnerable to being enticed by fast money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Border Patrol agents over the years have routinely caught migrants in the country illegally walking onto Camp Pendleton or floating in skiffs off the coast nearby. Authorities said the base sits along a well-traversed route used by migrant smugglers. Interstate 5 leading to Los Angeles runs through part of the base.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials from 1st Marine Division worked alongside the Naval Criminal Investigative Service in the investigation that started after the July 3 arrests of two Marines, who were charged in federal court with migrant smuggling. Both pleaded not guilty to the charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A U.S. Border Patrol agent stopped Lance Cpl. Byron Darnell Law II and Lance Cpl. David Javier Salazar-Quintero about 7 miles north of the border after being alerted by other agents that a vehicle similar to theirs was suspected of picking up migrants who came into the country illegally, according to the federal complaint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='immigration' label='Immigration Coverage']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three migrants were found in the back ,seat of a black BMW driven by Law, investigators say. Both Marines are riflemen assigned to 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division at Camp Pendleton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Law told the agent that Salazar asked if he was interested in earning $1,000 picking up an \"illegal alien.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salazar told authorities that Law introduced him to a man who \"recruited\" him to help smuggle in migrants, according to court documents. Salazar said he had gone out to pick up migrants on four separate occasions but was never paid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Law and Salazar, who speaks Spanish, went to the border the night of July 2 and received instructions from a Mexican cellphone, court documents say. Law told the agent they picked up a man and dropped him off at a McDonald's in Del Mar, a beach community north of San Diego, and then returned to the base. They were not paid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Law said Salazar told him they would be paid if they picked up three migrants on July 3 near the border, according to court documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The three migrants told authorities they were from Mexico and agreed to pay $8,000 to be smuggled into the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marine Corps officials gave no details about how or why the investigation expanded to result in the arrest of 16 others. The Naval Criminal Investigative Service also declined to comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An additional eight Marines were being questioned about their involvement in drug offenses as part of a separate investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story has been corrected to show that eight additional Marines were being questioned, not eight of 16 Marines arrested.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

"content": "\u003cp>In the spring of 1975, the North Vietnamese took control of Saigon and the United States began frantically evacuating tens of thousands of South Vietnamese. Overnight, Camp Pendleton in Southern California was transformed into a makeshift refugee camp. The Marines had 36 hours to set up tents, toilets and showers before refugees started arriving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That first wave included two teenage sisters, Evelyn and Jessica Kheo. They settled in nearby San Diego, but hadn’t been back to the base in 42 years. I got a chance to take a tour with them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Driving through the gate of the base, nothing looks very familiar to Jessica and Evelyn. We’re at the northernmost part of Camp Pendleton, miles from the beach. It’s dry and hot. There's scrubby grass and dusty canyons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Evelyn was just 14 when her family arrived here. Jessica, who was 16, remembers being nervous when their plane landed at the military airport.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgkU4KOvIas\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were kind of scared -- worried how people would treat us outside, because we knew about the anti-war movement,” Jessica said. “We were walking into a situation where people have protested before and you didn’t know what was going to happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they got on a bus from the airport, and she remembers civilians in the streets waving at them, smiling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a lot of nervous laughter as these two women -- now in their 50s -- try to remember what it was like to be vulnerable teenagers leaving their comfortable home in Saigon to start over in a new country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[audio src=\"https://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/tcrmag/2017/09/TCRMag20170929bSVietRefSis.mp3\" Image=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/Untitled-1-1020x680.jpg\" Title=\"Remember When Camp Pendleton Was a Refugee Camp? These Vietnamese Sisters Do\" program=\"The California Report\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jessica and Evelyn came from a well-to-do family in Vietnam. They spoke French and wore fashionable dresses and barrettes in their hair. They were sheltered teenagers -- their mother hardly let them out of her sight. So coming to Camp Pendleton felt like an adventure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It looked pretty to me,” Jessica said. “I never camped before so it was kind of like camping. I'm sure my mom was not happy, but for me it was fun.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their mother was nervous about having her young daughters around so many military men in uniform. But Jessica and Evelyn remember the Marines as kind and gentle young men working to help the refugees. A base nurse treated their sister for asthma with great tenderness. The Marines shared scratchy blankets and clothes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was May, but it was cold for us, coming from Vietnam,” Evelyn said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Yeah, we had to wear the army jacket. If you’re a kid, it’s all the way down to your ankles,” Jessica said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"ApAJoZ2KWVfFI5lpzigjaJNB4GUCr4ux\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One time, Evelyn said, a Marine even came running out of the base health clinic to give her and her friend a box of maxi-pads. They were mortified, but touched by the gesture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Actually, it was a pretty good gift at the time,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was one Marine guy,” she said. “I think he served in Vietnam and then he learned how to eat fish sauce. So, in a way for him to connect with the refugees, he would walk around in his pocket with this little fish sauce. And then whenever he wanted to maybe flirt with some young lady, or be friendly with the kids, he would pull it out. ‘I got the fish sauce!’ He would even say that in Vietnamese!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for all their funny stories about their teenage adventures, Jessica also recalls the pain of watching adults in the camp traumatized by the war.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There was a woman who saved the (leftover) rice. She would spread out a newspaper and dry the rice out outside of her tent every day. And I saw some GI walk by and he made a face like, ‘What's going on?’ But because we went through the war, we still have worries about not having food.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Meeting a Marine Who Helped Evacuate Refugees\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Camp Talega, the section of Camp Pendleton that once housed the refugees, is dusty and hot.

Overnight, Camp Pendleton in Southern California was transformed into a makeshift refugee camp. The Marines had 36 hours to set up tents, toilets and showers before refugees started arriving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That first wave included two teenage sisters, Evelyn and Jessica Kheo.

They spoke French and wore fashionable dresses and barrettes in their hair. They were sheltered teenagers -- their mother hardly let them out of her sight. So coming to Camp Pendleton felt like an adventure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It looked pretty to me,” Jessica said. “I never camped before so it was kind of like camping. I'm sure my mom was not happy, but for me it was fun.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their mother was nervous about having her young daughters around so many military men in uniform. But Jessica and Evelyn remember the Marines as kind and gentle young men working to help the refugees. A base nurse treated their sister for asthma with great tenderness. The Marines shared scratchy blankets and clothes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was May, but it was cold for us, coming from Vietnam,” Evelyn said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Yeah, we had to wear the army jacket. If you’re a kid, it’s all the way down to your ankles,” Jessica said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One time, Evelyn said, a Marine even came running out of the base health clinic to give her and her friend a box of maxi-pads. They were mortified, but touched by the gesture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Actually, it was a pretty good gift at the time,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was one Marine guy,” she said. “I think he served in Vietnam and then he learned how to eat fish sauce. So, in a way for him to connect with the refugees, he would walk around in his pocket with this little fish sauce. And then whenever he wanted to maybe flirt with some young lady, or be friendly with the kids, he would pull it out. ‘I got the fish sauce!’ He would even say that in Vietnamese!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for all their funny stories about their teenage adventures, Jessica also recalls the pain of watching adults in the camp traumatized by the war.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There was a woman who saved the (leftover) rice. She would spread out a newspaper and dry the rice out outside of her tent every day. And I saw some GI walk by and he made a face like, ‘What's going on?’ But because we went through the war, we still have worries about not having food.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Meeting a Marine Who Helped Evacuate Refugees\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Camp Talega, the section of Camp Pendleton that once housed the refugees, is dusty and hot.
