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.",

We stand there and listen to the crickets buzzing in night, looking at the rock-strewn hills and shivering a little. We think we see something moving once or twice. When we drive away, we come to a property on a hill with a dog barking steadily at us. A blue Coleman cooler sits there, chained to a tree. A sign reads, “Last Chance Café.” We jump out and peer inside: sodas, an empty milk jug, chocolate chip cookies. This homeowner sympathizes with hungry people who have walked all night to cross into the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11678404\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11678404\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/IMG_6080-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"In Dulzura a cooler of drinks and cookies are found where a few people live.

A ladder leads down into what looks like a kind of lean-to. A small, clay fireplace stands in one corner. It’s a place to get warm and sleep for the night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Midnight to 1:00 a.m.\u003c/strong> Back on the highway, driving along windy roads through the hills in the Tecate area, we round a bend and come upon a group men with flashlights, looking into the brush. Urgently. Border Patrol agents. We pull off the road and run up to them, asking to shadow them. They don’t want journalists around, but they don’t send us away. They say they are looking for a group of “illegal aliens” and warn us that it could be dangerous. We follow them anyway, rolling tape and asking questions. They tell us a group of people jumped across a wall and ran into a creek bed ravine underneath a bridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agents mean to catch them. They’re running through the ravine, over the bridge and along the road; tracking. Talking to each other on radios. One agent notices boot prints, but says they belong to his partner. We ask about the administration’s so-called “zero tolerance” policy. An agent says he doesn’t know about that, but that this week has been busy for them. We ask if there’s a season to border crossings. One of the friendlier agents says there isn’t. He says the area gets dusted with snow sometimes, and people still come. And the moonlight? – That can be both an advantage and a disadvantage, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several agents gather to look at something on the bridge. It’s a teal-colored windbreaker, hanging off a small post on the bridge. There are three small clay balls next to it. We ask what that means. An agent says it’s a pickup marker, a sign left by those helping people cross – coyotes? The agents think the pickup has already happened. But they aren’t sure, and some of them head toward their ATVs to continue the search down the road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11678406\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11678406\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/IMG_6140-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Early morning border patrol agents search for people near the Tecate - U.S. border.

Two women and a man – Bree Little, Kristin White and Burrdis — who won’t share his surname – agree to talk with us. We ask Burrdis what he does for a living. He says he used to work at the tire shop in town, but now he’s looking for work. Two dogs run around our legs, jumping up and sniffing. We ask Bree, Kristin and Burrdis about life out here on the front lines of people crossing the land without papers. Burrdis says many people think the undocumented are just thugs crossing illegally. He says that’s not his experience: he’s seen mostly families. He’s seen mothers with kids, one with a baby in her arms, crossing his property. Kristin and Bree say people crossing leave trash, but they can’t hold it against them: it’s hot, they don’t know where they’re going and they’re lost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lost.

It’s cool and dark, and we walk through the chaparral, calling out, shining our flashlights into bushes and onto ledges. We hear something moving, but figure it’s a small animal. We feel spooked and back away, wondering how \u003cem>we\u003c/em> would feel if we were sleeping in bushes and people came to try and find us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Around 3:00 a.m.\u003c/strong> Jacumba Hot Springs. We drive up to a stretch of border wall that was finished in 2009, made of iron bollard posts. It’s rusty, and the posts are close together so that a person can only slip an arm through. We knock on the bollards with our boots. They give off a deep echo in the night. The wall is roughly 20 feet high. It looks like something out of Game of Thrones, with gates cut into it every so often, some large enough to let a giant through. A border patrol agent drives up to ask us what we are doing. We ask \u003cem>him\u003c/em> about the gates. He says they work, but they are rarely opened. He tells us that the fence ends just up the hill and restarts a little while later. After he drives off, we scramble up the hill to investigate. The wall stops abruptly on the hillside, and a barbed wire fence begins. Someone has pulled the wire apart, and a tumbleweed hangs there, caught in the hole. A person could put a foot through and touch Mexico and bring it back again, no passport required.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11678408\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11678408\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/IMG_6268-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"The view of Tecate early morning on June 28, 2018.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The view of Tecate early morning on June 28, 2018. \u003ccite>(Ariana Drehsler)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>We drive back towards the road and stop at a lone house with boarded up windows and the number “7” spray painted in red on the door. The house is faced in stone, with a chimney and built on a concrete slab. There’s junk on the porch — an old, plastic deck chair, a broken turn table. Who lived here, we wonder? It would make a great movie backdrop — for a show like Breaking Bad. We notice a shiny new lock on the door and hurry back to the car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11678409\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11678409\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/IMG_6287-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"An abandoned home lit up with headlights located walking distance from the border fence that divides Tecate, Mexico and the U.S.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An abandoned home lit up with headlights located walking distance from the border fence that divides Tecate, Mexico and the U.S. \u003ccite>(Ariana Drehsler)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Around 3:30 a.m.\u003c/strong> We drive to a water drop in the desert around Jacumba.

It’s both beautiful and foreboding in the desert along the California–Mexico border. This is where people live. It’s where people cross illegally. And it’s where Border Patrol agents try to catch them. Forget the immigration debate on the talk shows; this is the real border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We spent a night hop-skipping along the border wall, and through places with \u003cem>no\u003c/em> border wall — Dulzura, Tecate, Jacumba — and points in between.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11678403\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11678403\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/IMG_6045-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"In the hills of Dulzura, California 12 miles from the Tecate Port of Entry there are many places one can hide.

We stand there and listen to the crickets buzzing in night, looking at the rock-strewn hills and shivering a little. We think we see something moving once or twice. When we drive away, we come to a property on a hill with a dog barking steadily at us. A blue Coleman cooler sits there, chained to a tree. A sign reads, “Last Chance Café.” We jump out and peer inside: sodas, an empty milk jug, chocolate chip cookies. This homeowner sympathizes with hungry people who have walked all night to cross into the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11678404\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11678404\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/IMG_6080-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"In Dulzura a cooler of drinks and cookies are found where a few people live.

Urgently. Border Patrol agents. We pull off the road and run up to them, asking to shadow them. They don’t want journalists around, but they don’t send us away. They say they are looking for a group of “illegal aliens” and warn us that it could be dangerous. We follow them anyway, rolling tape and asking questions. They tell us a group of people jumped across a wall and ran into a creek bed ravine underneath a bridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Talking to each other on radios. One agent notices boot prints, but says they belong to his partner. We ask about the administration’s so-called “zero tolerance” policy. An agent says he doesn’t know about that, but that this week has been busy for them. We ask if there’s a season to border crossings. One of the friendlier agents says there isn’t. He says the area gets dusted with snow sometimes, and people still come. And the moonlight? – That can be both an advantage and a disadvantage, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several agents gather to look at something on the bridge. It’s a teal-colored windbreaker, hanging off a small post on the bridge. There are three small clay balls next to it. We ask what that means. An agent says it’s a pickup marker, a sign left by those helping people cross – coyotes? The agents think the pickup has already happened. But they aren’t sure, and some of them head toward their ATVs to continue the search down the road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11678406\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11678406\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/IMG_6140-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Early morning border patrol agents search for people near the Tecate - U.S. border.

Two women and a man – Bree Little, Kristin White and Burrdis — who won’t share his surname – agree to talk with us. We ask Burrdis what he does for a living. He says he used to work at the tire shop in town, but now he’s looking for work. Two dogs run around our legs, jumping up and sniffing. We ask Bree, Kristin and Burrdis about life out here on the front lines of people crossing the land without papers. Burrdis says many people think the undocumented are just thugs crossing illegally. He says that’s not his experience: he’s seen mostly families. He’s seen mothers with kids, one with a baby in her arms, crossing his property. Kristin and Bree say people crossing leave trash, but they can’t hold it against them: it’s hot, they don’t know where they’re going and they’re lost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lost.

It’s cool and dark, and we walk through the chaparral, calling out, shining our flashlights into bushes and onto ledges. We hear something moving, but figure it’s a small animal. We feel spooked and back away, wondering how \u003cem>we\u003c/em> would feel if we were sleeping in bushes and people came to try and find us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Around 3:00 a.m.\u003c/strong> Jacumba Hot Springs. We drive up to a stretch of border wall that was finished in 2009, made of iron bollard posts. It’s rusty, and the posts are close together so that a person can only slip an arm through. We knock on the bollards with our boots. They give off a deep echo in the night. The wall is roughly 20 feet high. It looks like something out of Game of Thrones, with gates cut into it every so often, some large enough to let a giant through. A border patrol agent drives up to ask us what we are doing. We ask \u003cem>him\u003c/em> about the gates. He says they work, but they are rarely opened. He tells us that the fence ends just up the hill and restarts a little while later. After he drives off, we scramble up the hill to investigate. The wall stops abruptly on the hillside, and a barbed wire fence begins. Someone has pulled the wire apart, and a tumbleweed hangs there, caught in the hole. A person could put a foot through and touch Mexico and bring it back again, no passport required.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11678408\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11678408\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/IMG_6268-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"The view of Tecate early morning on June 28, 2018.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The view of Tecate early morning on June 28, 2018. \u003ccite>(Ariana Drehsler)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>We drive back towards the road and stop at a lone house with boarded up windows and the number “7” spray painted in red on the door. The house is faced in stone, with a chimney and built on a concrete slab. There’s junk on the porch — an old, plastic deck chair, a broken turn table. Who lived here, we wonder? It would make a great movie backdrop — for a show like Breaking Bad. We notice a shiny new lock on the door and hurry back to the car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11678409\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11678409\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/IMG_6287-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"An abandoned home lit up with headlights located walking distance from the border fence that divides Tecate, Mexico and the U.S.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An abandoned home lit up with headlights located walking distance from the border fence that divides Tecate, Mexico and the U.S. \u003ccite>(Ariana Drehsler)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Around 3:30 a.m.\u003c/strong> We drive to a water drop in the desert around Jacumba.

He was fleeing a local gang that had threatened to kill him. (Out of concern for the family’s safety, KQED is not using their last names.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nazario and Filomena reached the California border on May 16 and, a little after 6 p.m., crossed with a couple of other travelers into the hills of eastern San Diego County. This is their story gathered from Nazario’s public defender, court documents and conversations with Nazario’s wife in Guatemala.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Border Patrol affidavit describes what happened next: “Agent Sparks encountered four individuals walking the border road toward him.” The agent arrested the four, who told him they were citizens of Guatemala. Nazario acknowledged that he had entered the United States illegally, the agent said. Nazario said that he had come to the U.S. to ask for asylum, according to a legal declaration he dictated later to his court-appointed criminal defense lawyer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the Border Patrol station in Campo, California, Nazario was told he would be sent to jail. He was to be prosecuted in federal court for the misdemeanor offense of illegally entering the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scared, Filomena clung to him, Nazario said in his declaration. And then: “Two Border Patrol Agents grabbed her out of my arms. … My daughter was screaming and crying.

But that’s not what happened at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Caught in the Policy Crossfire\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nazario and his daughter walked into the United States in the midst of a dramatic reworking of how this country handles unauthorized immigrants — including those seeking asylum and those traveling with children. Thousands of children like Filomena have been removed from their parents and placed into a confusing system of institutional care that is stretched beyond its maximum capacity. Government directives have shifted repeatedly in recent days, leading to confusion and lack of communication among agencies. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Nazario and Filomena, the result is utter bewilderment and pain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some of the recent developments: \u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>April 6 — Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced a zero tolerance \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/attorney-general-announces-zero-tolerance-policy-criminal-illegal-entry\">policy\u003c/a> of criminally prosecuting everyone caught unlawfully crossing into the U.S. \u003c/li>\n\u003cli>May 7 — Sessions held a press conference with ICE acting director Thomas Homan at the border fence in San Diego, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/speech/attorney-general-sessions-delivers-remarks-discussing-immigration-enforcement-actions\">said\u003c/a>, “If you are smuggling a child, then we will prosecute you and that child will be separated from you as required by law.” \u003c/li>\n\u003cli>June 20 — Last Wednesday, after an outcry over family separation, President Trump signed an \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/affording-congress-opportunity-address-family-separation/\">executive order\u003c/a> stating that the government’s policy is now to keep unauthorized immigrant families together, “where appropriate and consistent with law and available resources.”\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>June 21 — The following day, a senior Customs and Border Protection official \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/us-will-stop-prosecuting-parents-who-cross-the-border-illegally-with-children-official-says/2018/06/21/4902b194-7564-11e8-805c-4b67019fcfe4_story.html?utm_term=.d582c4d7d6d4\">told\u003c/a> the Washington Post that, in order to promote family unity, the agency would stop referring migrant parents for prosecution if they were traveling with children. The Department of Justice asserted that the zero tolerance prosecution policy still applied to everyone.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>June 23 — On Saturday, the Department of Homeland Security issued a \u003ca href=\"https://www.dhs.gov/news/2018/06/23/fact-sheet-zero-tolerance-prosecution-and-family-reunification\">fact sheet\u003c/a> describing steps it was taking to reunite children with their parents. The memo said 522 children had been returned to parents by Customs and Border Protection. And, it said, an additional 2,053 “separated” children were in the custody of the Department of Health and Human Services, whose Office of Refugee Resettlement is responsible for “unaccompanied alien children,” now including those, like Filomena, who were taken from their parents. The memo does not provide a timeline for the reunifications, and what will happen to the children remains uncertain.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch3>A Tough Choice\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Back in their mountain village in Guatemala, Filomena used to go just about everywhere with her Papi. When he went to the fields to hoe the potatoes, Filomena went, too. And together they would go home to her mother and 2-year-old brother. She liked to play, and to write and draw in her notebook, said Filomena’s mother, Marcela, who spoke to KQED by phone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then a local gang began to menace Nazario. They tried to extort money from him and threatened murder, Marcela said. The \u003ca href=\"https://www.usaid.gov/sites/default/files/documents/1862/Guatemala_Conflict_Vulnerability_Assessment.pdf\">Guatemalan government is weak\u003c/a> and, after years of civil war and economic hardship, more young men are drawn to gangs and commit violence with impunity. The threat is growing, even in rural areas. Nazario felt he had to escape. He had relatives in California. Maybe he could find refuge there. Worried that Marcela would have difficulty managing the farm with two small children, the couple agreed Nazario would take his daughter with him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Nazario had gone, Marcela said the gang members returned, looking for him. They beat her up, she said, but “at least they didn’t kill me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A Complicated Legal Maze\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In San Diego, Nazario was held by the U.S. Marshals Service while his criminal trial went forward. He spent two weeks locked in a detention facility run by the Geo Group, a private prison company contracted by the government. Because he was a criminal defendant, the government appointed him a public defender. (In immigration matters, however, neither he nor Filomena was entitled to appointed counsel. Many immigrants appear in court without a lawyer.) The authorities never told him where his daughter was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When federal public defender James Chavez first met with Nazario, he spent a long time trying to explain the complex U.S. system, with its criminal and immigration proceedings. The Guatemalan man found it very confusing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nazario is an individual without any formal education,” said Chavez. “I’m not confident that he fully understood what happened to him. And that’s not uncommon.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What Nazario did understand was that his daughter was gone from him.

And Chavez did not want to divulge exactly where Filomena was staying, for fear of jeopardizing her quick release. But most very young children in ORR custody are housed in foster homes, rather than institutional shelters, according to Anthony Enriquez, director of the unaccompanied minors program at Catholic Charities of New York. Foster families are hired by the nonprofit agencies that contract with ORR to care for the children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It can take as much as 10 days before Catholic Charities staff can communicate with kids in ORR custody, said Enriquez. Once they do, he and his staff work with ORR case managers to establish contact between children and their parents. Filomena was able to speak to her mother about three weeks ago. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marcela said her little girl told her she did not want to be where she was.

I still don’t know how she is. So I feel desperate.

If they succeed in getting a case onto an expedited docket, it can be heard in one to two weeks, said Enriquez. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As dedicated lawyers, we’re trying to move this as fast as possible,” he said. “The longer children are separated, the greater the risk of psychological damage.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But because the immigration court process for children has more protections, it can take longer. All unaccompanied children, including those like Filomena who were rendered unaccompanied, are entitled to a hearing before an immigration judge. By contrast, adults like Nazario are subject to a summary deportation, called expedited removal. Recent border crossers are entitled to see an immigration judge only if an asylum officer from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services finds they have a credible fear of persecution in their home country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In order to get separated children back to their parents more quickly, Enriquez said, Catholic Charities lawyers are now requesting that judges ask ICE prosecutors to withdraw their cases. This allows the court to release the child to be returned home. Enriquez said he and other lawyers are also using the court proceeding to hold the government accountable: “We can always say, ‘Your Honor, you should ask the government lawyer: Where is the parent? Why has this child been separated? Why is there not a system to reunify the family before deportation? Why can’t the government facilitate more communication?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Giving Up on Protection in the U.S.\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Back in San Diego, Nazario remained distraught. In spite of the danger that propelled him north, he decided to abandon his asylum claim. If he had pursued asylum he would likely have been locked up for months or even years — without Filomena. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his declaration he said: “After being in jail for two weeks and having my daughter taken away from me, I decided that the United States is not a place that would protect me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On May 30, he pleaded guilty to illegal entry in criminal court and was sentenced to time served. His hope was that if he accepted deportation by immigration authorities, he would be reunited with his child.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then federal marshals handed Nazario over to ICE, which took him to a different private prison in San Diego just for people in immigration proceedings — the Otay Mesa Detention Center, run by a company called CoreCivic. His lawyer said it took a couple more weeks before an ICE agent came to talk to Nazario about his asylum claim and his decision to give it up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My impression of Nazario is that he was deeply depressed, maybe even broken,” said public defender Chavez, who met with Nazario five or six times while he was jailed in San Diego, visiting even after the criminal case had been resolved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, on June 19, ICE transferred Nazario to Arizona. And on June 20, the very same day that President Trump reversed his stance on separating families, Nazario was flown back to Guatemala City. Filomena was not with him. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the five weeks Nazario spent in U.S. government custody, he was never once able to speak to Filomena. He didn’t have money for a jail phone call.

Filomena had been by his side almost every day of her life. Now he had no idea where she was, whether she was all right, and when he would see her again.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11677170/one-familys-story-of-separation-a-cartoon-account\">One Family’s Story of Separation: A Cartoon Account\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11677170/one-familys-story-of-separation-a-cartoon-account\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/featured02.jpg\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The 32-year-old peasant farmer had left his village in the western highlands of Guatemala and traveled all the way across Mexico with Filomena. He was fleeing a local gang that had threatened to kill him. (Out of concern for the family’s safety, KQED is not using their last names.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nazario and Filomena reached the California border on May 16 and, a little after 6 p.m., crossed with a couple of other travelers into the hills of eastern San Diego County. This is their story gathered from Nazario’s public defender, court documents and conversations with Nazario’s wife in Guatemala.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Border Patrol affidavit describes what happened next: “Agent Sparks encountered four individuals walking the border road toward him.” The agent arrested the four, who told him they were citizens of Guatemala. Nazario acknowledged that he had entered the United States illegally, the agent said. Nazario said that he had come to the U.S. to ask for asylum, according to a legal declaration he dictated later to his court-appointed criminal defense lawyer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the Border Patrol station in Campo, California, Nazario was told he would be sent to jail. He was to be prosecuted in federal court for the misdemeanor offense of illegally entering the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But that’s not what happened at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Caught in the Policy Crossfire\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nazario and his daughter walked into the United States in the midst of a dramatic reworking of how this country handles unauthorized immigrants — including those seeking asylum and those traveling with children. Thousands of children like Filomena have been removed from their parents and placed into a confusing system of institutional care that is stretched beyond its maximum capacity. Government directives have shifted repeatedly in recent days, leading to confusion and lack of communication among agencies. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Nazario and Filomena, the result is utter bewilderment and pain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some of the recent developments: \u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>April 6 — Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced a zero tolerance \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/attorney-general-announces-zero-tolerance-policy-criminal-illegal-entry\">policy\u003c/a> of criminally prosecuting everyone caught unlawfully crossing into the U.S. \u003c/li>\n\u003cli>May 7 — Sessions held a press conference with ICE acting director Thomas Homan at the border fence in San Diego, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/speech/attorney-general-sessions-delivers-remarks-discussing-immigration-enforcement-actions\">said\u003c/a>, “If you are smuggling a child, then we will prosecute you and that child will be separated from you as required by law.” \u003c/li>\n\u003cli>June 20 — Last Wednesday, after an outcry over family separation, President Trump signed an \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/affording-congress-opportunity-address-family-separation/\">executive order\u003c/a> stating that the government’s policy is now to keep unauthorized immigrant families together, “where appropriate and consistent with law and available resources.”\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>June 21 — The following day, a senior Customs and Border Protection official \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/us-will-stop-prosecuting-parents-who-cross-the-border-illegally-with-children-official-says/2018/06/21/4902b194-7564-11e8-805c-4b67019fcfe4_story.html?utm_term=.d582c4d7d6d4\">told\u003c/a> the Washington Post that, in order to promote family unity, the agency would stop referring migrant parents for prosecution if they were traveling with children. The Department of Justice asserted that the zero tolerance prosecution policy still applied to everyone.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>June 23 — On Saturday, the Department of Homeland Security issued a \u003ca href=\"https://www.dhs.gov/news/2018/06/23/fact-sheet-zero-tolerance-prosecution-and-family-reunification\">fact sheet\u003c/a> describing steps it was taking to reunite children with their parents. The memo said 522 children had been returned to parents by Customs and Border Protection. And, it said, an additional 2,053 “separated” children were in the custody of the Department of Health and Human Services, whose Office of Refugee Resettlement is responsible for “unaccompanied alien children,” now including those, like Filomena, who were taken from their parents. The memo does not provide a timeline for the reunifications, and what will happen to the children remains uncertain.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch3>A Tough Choice\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Back in their mountain village in Guatemala, Filomena used to go just about everywhere with her Papi. When he went to the fields to hoe the potatoes, Filomena went, too. And together they would go home to her mother and 2-year-old brother. She liked to play, and to write and draw in her notebook, said Filomena’s mother, Marcela, who spoke to KQED by phone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then a local gang began to menace Nazario. They tried to extort money from him and threatened murder, Marcela said. The \u003ca href=\"https://www.usaid.gov/sites/default/files/documents/1862/Guatemala_Conflict_Vulnerability_Assessment.pdf\">Guatemalan government is weak\u003c/a> and, after years of civil war and economic hardship, more young men are drawn to gangs and commit violence with impunity. The threat is growing, even in rural areas. Nazario felt he had to escape. He had relatives in California. Maybe he could find refuge there. Worried that Marcela would have difficulty managing the farm with two small children, the couple agreed Nazario would take his daughter with him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Nazario had gone, Marcela said the gang members returned, looking for him. They beat her up, she said, but “at least they didn’t kill me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A Complicated Legal Maze\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In San Diego, Nazario was held by the U.S. Marshals Service while his criminal trial went forward. He spent two weeks locked in a detention facility run by the Geo Group, a private prison company contracted by the government. Because he was a criminal defendant, the government appointed him a public defender. (In immigration matters, however, neither he nor Filomena was entitled to appointed counsel. Many immigrants appear in court without a lawyer.) The authorities never told him where his daughter was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When federal public defender James Chavez first met with Nazario, he spent a long time trying to explain the complex U.S. system, with its criminal and immigration proceedings. The Guatemalan man found it very confusing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nazario is an individual without any formal education,” said Chavez. “I’m not confident that he fully understood what happened to him. And that’s not uncommon.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What Nazario did understand was that his daughter was gone from him. He told the lawyer he cried nearly every day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chavez began to search, with the help of the ACLU and the Guatemalan Consulate. It took 10 days before he located Filomena. She had been put in the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement, known as ORR, and transferred to New York. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do not know where New York is.

However, NPR’s Tom Bowman reports that the two military bases are in Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Migrant families will be housed at Fort Bliss, an Army base outside El Paso, according to Bowman. Unaccompanied migrant children will be housed at Goodfellow Air Force Base, outside San Angelo.

They recently sued, alleging violations of U.S. and international law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an audio recording of the San Ysidro port of entry in California, volunteers accompany a Honduran family of five who want to seek asylum in the United States from a murderous gang.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An agent with Customs and Border Protection tells the family in English and Spanish that they can't be processed until they first register with Mexican immigration authorities at the Instituto Nacional de Migracion, or INM.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sound was recorded in February by two volunteers from an immigrant shelter in Mexico and obtained by the New York-based group, Human Rights First.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They, they got to go to INM and register first,\" the agent says on the tape. \"They can't come in here.

Are you denying them the ability to request asylum in the United States?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another border agent insists the family contact Mexican authorities. She says U.S. officials are understaffed and overwhelmed by the number of asylum seekers.

He said the Honduran family likely would have been turned away — like so many others — if the volunteers hadn't been there to advocate for them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is not practical to assume that every asylum seeker approaching the border that are in need of immediate protection would have such advocates there to assist them,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"bPybEDFHX8mvZQUM3bjv5MW2aeYl7Rco\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carlos Diaz, a spokesman for Customs and Border Protection, declined to comment on the audio recording.

Or that they'll be separated from their children. Or, more recently, that Donald Trump has eliminated asylum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These things are simply untrue,\" says Melissa Crow, legal director at the D.C.-based American Immigration Council. Her group and others have filed a class-action lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security, challenging those alleged practices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"All of these tactics serve to deny bona fide asylum seekers the opportunity to pursue their claims,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diaz, from Customs and Border Protection, declined to comment on the litigation.

Or that they'll be separated from their children. Or, more recently, that Donald Trump has eliminated asylum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These things are simply untrue,\" says Melissa Crow, legal director at the D.C.-based American Immigration Council. Her group and others have filed a class-action lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security, challenging those alleged practices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"All of these tactics serve to deny bona fide asylum seekers the opportunity to pursue their claims,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diaz, from Customs and Border Protection, declined to comment on the litigation. He said that the agency \"has not changed any policies affecting asylum procedures.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anyone seeking asylum in the U.S. must be granted an interview to determine if they have a credible fear of returning home.
