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.",

There were nearly 1 million crossings from the early 2000s, but those were mostly single men from Mexico who were easily returned, not families from Central America who require much more care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigration officials were involved in more than 20,000 hospital visits this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homeland Security worked with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on creating and implementing recommendations. The department set a goal of formalizing the policies by the end of the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We continue to look at new ways to improve care for those in our temporary custody,” a CBP spokesman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/e8f6a91850434b0e8c15124324bae2c8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Crossings have declined steeply since a peak in May\u003c/a>, due in part to a policy that has forced more than 50,000 asylum-seekers back over the border to wait out their claims in Mexico, where dozens have been sickened and subjected to violence in some parts. And agreements with Central American nations are leading to migrants being sent back to Guatemala and eventually Honduras and El Salvador.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But seven years later, that probe is still incomplete.

The agency, which had pledged transparency and to publicly release the results of its investigations, found no agent misconduct in each case. The latest completed case is three and a half years old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The only thing we want is justice,\" says Priscila Arévalo, weeping.

CBP training now stresses alternatives to deadly force, such as Tasers and pepper-ball launchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a result, all shootings — both fatal and non-fatal — fell from a high of 55 in 2012 to 15 in 2018, \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/cbp-use-force\">according to the agency's figures\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[aside tag=\"border\" label=\"Related coverage\"]\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reforms also included the creation of a National Use of Force Review Board, to thoroughly vet shooting incidents and then publish the findings on a timely basis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They've made a lot of progress on the suite of reforms,\" says Gil Kerlikowske, commissioner of CBP at the end of the Obama presidency. \"But I think they've let some things go and I think there's certainly more that can be done.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kerlikowske, who was brought in to improve CBP's transparency and accountability, believes the reforms are unfinished.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm very concerned about the timeliness of the process.

Her response: \"DOJ declines to comment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ed Chung used to work at DOJ's Civil Rights Division as a prosecutor; he's now at the Center for American Progress. Chung understands these kinds of cases are complex.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But certainly seven years from the time a particular case comes to the attention of an investigating agency to the time where a decision is made is just way too long,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"border-patrol\" label=\"More on border patrol\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CBP's opaqueness in following up on agent-involved shootings is troubling, says Vicki Gaubeca, president of the Southern Border Communities Coalition, the group that tracks CBP shootings.

Not with Guillermo Arévalo. And not with the more recent case of Claudia Patricia Gomez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just last year, the 20-year-old Guatemalan was shot in the head by a Border Patrol agent on the outskirts of Laredo, Texas, not far from the river she had just crossed illegally. The first CBP press release called the young Maya woman an assailant who was with a group of immigrants wielding \"blunt objects\" and threatening the agent. A second statement corrected that she, in fact, did not wield a weapon, but the group she was with \"rushed\" the officer and ignored orders to get on the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her parents are suing the government for wrongful death. Sixteen months after her death, there's not a word from CBP.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Look, I don't think every agent is bad. There's only one person who did this,\" says her father, Gilberto Gomez, from his house in the Guatemalan highlands. \"We don't want impunity. We want justice.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A CBP spokesman says their investigation is on hold because the fatal shooting of Claudia Patricia Gomez remains at the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department.

According to a witness account, several pickups full of mafiosos recently screeched to a stop in front of a government-contracted bus that had just left the central bus station. They ordered a dozen migrants off the bus, ordered them into their vehicles, and drove off, leaving the rest of the passengers shocked and frantic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cesar Antunes was on an earlier bus that departed, just before the bus that was ambushed. Antunes said he learned what happened to the second bus when both buses arrived in Monterrey and he spoke with one of the remaining passengers who witnessed the abductions. Antunes related the terrifying tale to NPR on his mobile phone from a city in Northern Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Nuevo Laredo is more dangerous than San Pedro Sula, Honduras,\" Antunes says, \"which is where I fled from.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Mexican government has been cooperating with Trump's immigration agenda after the president threatened that country with steep tariffs in June.

The chief investigator for the Office for Disappeared Persons in Nuevo Laredo, Edwin Aceves Garcia, said in an interview: \"We have received no reports of kidnappings and extortion of migrants. Those are just rumors. You can't believe everything those people say.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the case of Aaron Mendez, the kidnapped pastor, a spokesman for the state prosecutor's office in Ciudad Victoria said he remains missing and the investigation continues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the brazen crimes committed against migrants stuck in Nuevo Laredo, some of them are abandoning their asylum requests and returning home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's dangerous here.

Then, as she tells it, when they arrived at the Nuevo Laredo bus station last month, young men with tattoos and ball caps grabbed her and her son and held them prisoner for three weeks in a succession of safe houses.

That same money, he testified, resulted in a reduction in the “in-custody population of children from a high of 2,700 to about 350 at the end of the day yesterday.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He credited Trump administration policies for leading to a 28% reduction in border crossings last month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats pushed back against what oversight committee chairman Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., called McAleenan’s attempts to “sugarcoat” conditions for detained migrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11761605\" label=\"Related Coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bay Area congresswoman Jackie Speier, D-Hillsborough, held up pictures of men and children at DHS facilities \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11761605/rep-speier-describes-subhuman-conditions-following-visit-to-migrant-detention-facilities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">she said she visited\u003c/a>, saying, “This would not be allowed as a kennel for dogs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s unacceptable and it has to change,” Speier said, regarding a cell she saw in which 40 men were crammed into one that normally accommodates five. “We don’t treat human beings like that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But McAleenan said Congress specifically excluded funding for more beds at facilities run by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, exacerbating the overcrowded conditions there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cummings said, “When I see the pictures and I hear the testimony. … I am at a point where I begin to wonder whether there is an empathy deficit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But McAleenan insisted, “We are taking care of these children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bay Area congressman Ro Khanna, D-Fremont, questioned McAleenan about the Trump administration’s decision to implement the zero tolerance policy that resulted in massive separation of children from their families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Are you proud of how this whole situation has happened or do you have some regrets?” Khanna asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This program, we lost the public trust,” McAleenan said. “I think the president was right to end it. And if I could go back and redo it, I would.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/07/02/738179391/dhs-inspector-general-finds-dangerous-overcrowding-in-border-patrol-facilities\">released a report on July 2\u003c/a> warning of “dangerous overcrowding” at CBP facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are concerned that overcrowding and prolonged detention represent an immediate risk to the health and safety of DHS agents and officers, and to those detained,” investigators wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On another issue, McAleenan said an investigation is underway into \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/07/02/737930088/lawmakers-respond-to-vile-secret-facebook-group-created-by-border-patrol-agents\">a private Facebook group of CBP agents\u003c/a>, some of whom reportedly posted racist and anti-immigrant statements. He said the CBP Office of Professional Responsibility has placed several individuals on administrative duties, issued cease-and-desist letters and is “moving very quickly to hold people accountable for conduct that doesn’t meet our standards.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"immigration\" label=\"More Immigration Coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., who was reportedly the subject of an obscene manipulated image on the site, whether the agents involved were still on duty, McAleenan could not say.

That same money, he testified, resulted in a reduction in the “in-custody population of children from a high of 2,700 to about 350 at the end of the day yesterday.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He credited Trump administration policies for leading to a 28% reduction in border crossings last month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats pushed back against what oversight committee chairman Rep.
