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.",

And I certainly respect her enough to want to give her that space.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schiff joins \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11937601/orange-county-democrat-katie-porter-launches-bid-for-dianne-feinsteins-senate-seat\">Orange County Congressmember Katie Porter\u003c/a> as the second prominent Democrat to announce their candidacy for the job in the 2024 election. Like Porter, Schiff is a prolific fundraiser. But while \u003ca href=\"https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00636571/\">Porter was left with less than $8 million\u003c/a> after defending her House seat last year, \u003ca href=\"https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00343871/?cycle=2024\">Schiff has more than $20 million\u003c/a> in his war chest, according to the most recent filings with the Federal Elections Commission.[aside postID=forum_2010101891896 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/43/2023/01/GettyImages-1450380895-1020x680.jpg']While Porter and Schiff are both considered mainstream Democrats, Porter, elected to the House in 2018, is close to progressive Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and made a name for herself grilling top CEOs using her signature \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/kpwhiteboard\">whiteboard\u003c/a> to emphasize her assertions of corporate greed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schiff, who like Porter graduated from Harvard Law School, has been a favorite target of Donald Trump and Fox News. And just this week, Speaker Kevin McCarthy blocked Schiff and East Bay Congressmember Eric Swalwell from serving on the House Intelligence Committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, Schiff told KQED, it was just an example of McCarthy “bending to the most extreme elements of his conference,” adding that “if McCarthy thinks this is going to stop me, he's going to find out just how wrong he is. And I think a great many Californians will delight in the idea of Adam Schiff being Kevin McCarthy's home state senator.”[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Los Angeles Congressmember Adam Schiff\"]'I think a great many Californians will delight in the idea of Adam Schiff being Kevin McCarthy's home state senator.'[/pullquote]After two women being elected to represent California in the U.S. Senate since 1992, Gov. Gavin Newsom chose Alex Padilla to replace Kamala Harris when she was elected vice president. Now, with Feinstein likely to retire, voters will have to decide how important gender is in who takes the seat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think the voters are going to look at a variety of factors in deciding what's most important to them at this moment,” Schiff said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congressmember Barbara Lee is expected to join the race in the coming weeks.

Gavin Newsom should remain in office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label ='Find Your Ballot Drop-Off Location' tag='find-your-box']It’s only the second recall election in the state to qualify for the ballot, but the second in the past 20 years. That previous recall, in 2003, resulted in actor Arnold Schwarzenegger becoming governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot has changed since then on many fronts, but that it’s even happening in the first place — and who the leading Republican contender is — is an example of how politics has shifted in the state and reflects a national shift toward sharper partisanship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The election will also have national consequences. A California governor could appoint a new U.S. senator to the evenly divided chamber in the next year or so. And this is the first big test of whether Democrats can fire up their base — even in a very blue state — ahead of next year’s midterm elections when Republicans are favored to take back the House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s a primer on the recall, how it works and how we got here. But first:\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What are the potential national political consequences?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The fact that a Democratic governor in a state that President Biden won by almost 30 percentage points in 2020 doesn’t stand a near 0% chance of being ousted tells you a degree of the story of off-year elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The party out of power is usually the one that’s most fired up.\u003c/strong> During this pandemic, conservatives have been particularly vexed by Democratic governance — and they have no greater example for their ire, of everything they dislike about liberals, than California. So Newsom was already a ripe target.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A test of Democratic mobilization.\u003c/strong> All eyes will be on to what degree Democrats are enthusiastic ahead of 2022. There are certainly motivators, considering the stakes the threat of Republican governance poses to the center-left, from the handling of the pandemic to \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/09/09/1035467999/justice-department-sues-texas-over-new-abortion-ban\">extreme abortion laws like Texas’s\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given that \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/administration/news-releases-and-advisories/2020-news-releases-and-advisories/ap20108\">Democrats outnumber GOP voters by almost 5 million in California\u003c/a>, how close Republicans get to recalling Newsom — or of course if he’s recalled — is going to be something to watch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>In very practical terms, the U.S. Senate could be at stake.\u003c/strong> At first, this doesn’t seem to make sense, since this is about a governorship. But consider that Democrats control the 50-50 Senate by only the narrowest of margins, needing Vice President Harris to break ties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California governor has the power to appoint a U.S. senator and should there be a vacancy, Newsom or his replacement would serve until January 2023, and Sen. Dianne Feinstein would be approaching 90 at that point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A test of Biden’s clout.\u003c/strong> The president is campaigning for and with Newsom on Monday. That raises the political stakes. If Newsom were to lose — or if the election is close — Biden’s sway would be in question. And it would come at a time when \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/09/02/1033433959/biden-approval-rating-afghanistan-withdrawal\">Biden’s approval rating has been slipping nationally\u003c/a>, given the resurgent coronavirus due to the delta variant and following the Afghanistan withdrawal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A sign of the growing strength of a partisan minority?\u003c/strong> \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/Laws_governing_recall_in_California\">To qualify for the ballot, a recall effort requires signatures\u003c/a> that amount to at least 12% of the turnout of the last gubernatorial election, plus some other total vote thresholds. While this year that’s about 1.5 million signatures — undoubtedly a lot of signatures — you can find 12% of people who agree that they are very upset about a lot of things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What are the future repercussions when that’s the bar to cause \u003ca href=\"https://www.abc10.com/article/news/politics/california-recall-elections-will-cost-276-million/103-60b467b4-ac53-4684-a9ea-5454cf8d1b3e\">a statewide election that is costing California $276 million\u003c/a>?

Gavin Newsom is under growing pressure to fill her U.S. Senate seat with someone who reflects the state’s diversity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Dan Schnur, political analyst\"]‘I think the one safe bet to make is I am more likely to start as quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers than Gavin Newsom is to pick a white man to fill that Senate seat.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in a state as diverse as California, whatever choice the governor makes is bound to disappoint at least some of his supporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not something that I wish even on my worst enemy, because you create enemies in this process,” Newsom said on Election Day when the outcome was still hypothetical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked what kind of person Newsom would choose to fill Harris’ seat for the remaining two years of her term, he mused about a few of the considerations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’ve got people that voted for Kamala Harris. And so is it in her image? Do you sort of extend that narrative? I mean, all these questions have to be worked through,” Newsom said. “Is it a caretaker or someone who can turn around a win? Is it someone that’s qualified that may not win but would be fabulous? I mean, all these things have to be factored in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So too does \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-11-07/kamala-harris-successor-california-senator\">electability\u003c/a>: Newsom’s appointee will be up for reelection in 2022.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, Newsom said it was not a decision he relished, acknowledging that some people will be unhappy with whoever he appoints.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the past month, pressure and lobbying have only grown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it would be a tremendous mistake to replace Kamala Harris with a man,” said Aimee Allison, founder of She the People, which supports more political representation for women of color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To her, not appointing a Black woman to replace Harris — who made history as the first Black person to represent California in the Senate — would be backsliding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If he does not, then what we have is a Senate with zero black women representation. And really, it’s that stark and it’s that serious,” Allison said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Allison sees it, Newsom has two great choices in Barbara Lee and Karen Bass, two Black congresswomen who know Capitol Hill well and would hit the ground running on day one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not just identity, it’s readiness to lead; who will be ready in the Senate on day one,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allison said Newsom should appoint someone who will fight for the issues Harris championed, such as criminal justice reform and Black maternal health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel very strongly that without a vocal advocate in the Senate, that Black women in our broader communities are at more risk,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom is also under pressure from other communities. Jacqueline Martinez Garcel, CEO of the Latino Community Foundation in San Francisco, is part of a coalition pushing the governor to make history by naming the state’s first Latino senator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s about time that we have representation for the largest ethnic group in the state in the U.S. Senate,” Martinez Garcel said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not just having a Latino. It’s someone who understands the immigrant experience here in California, what it’s like to be part of a farmworker community and family and bring that voice and that representation to the U.S. Senate floor. That’s what matters,” she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]One person who could fit that bill is Alex Padilla, California’s secretary of state. Padilla is the son of immigrants from Mexico and a long-time Newsom ally. Some political analysts say Padilla has the inside track, and picking him would give Newsom a second big appointment — someone to fill out the rest of Padilla’s term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The only thing better than collecting a large political IOU as governor is collecting two very large political IOUs,” said political analyst Dan Schnur, who teaches at UC Berkeley’s Institute of Governmental Studies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If he appointed Padilla or [California] Attorney General Xavier Becerra, if he were to appoint the state controller, Betty Yee, or the state treasurer, Fiona Ma, he would be able to then appoint their replacements to those statewide offices, make history twice and collect two big political chits along the way,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schnur worked for Pete Wilson, the last California governor to name a U.S. Senator. Wilson, a Republican, was a senator himself when he was elected governor in 1990, giving him the opportunity to name his own replacement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schnur says during his gubernatorial campaign, Wilson promised to name a successor who was a pro-choice Republican, which significantly limited his options.[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_11846513,news_11846531,forum_2010101880754\"]“Otherwise, Wilson would have more than likely appointed someone with a much broader base of support and network statewide,” Schnur said, as opposed to the person he chose, a little-known state senator from Orange County named John Seymour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seymour went on to lose that seat to Dianne Feinstein two years later. Of course, California was a very different place back then, and Schnur says one thing is certain about whoever Newsom picks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think the one safe bet to make is I am more likely to start as quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers than Gavin Newsom is to pick a white man to fill that Senate seat,” he joked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, while some high-profile officials, like Congressman Adam Schiff, a white man, might make good senators, it just doesn’t look like now is their time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While different people are advocating for different appointments, there is also a sense of reluctance to pit one community against another while lobbying Newsom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not a moment where communities need to be fighting with each other, but really looking fully at how we can make sure that there is fair representation,” Allison said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to Feinstein’s\u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/states/california/story/2020/12/02/feinstein-backs-padilla-for-harris-seat-1339951\"> announcement this week\u003c/a> that she would support Padilla as Harris’ replacement, Allison suggested that the 87-year-old senator step down herself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Her politics are old-fashioned and out of step with who we are. She believes that the seat should be filled with someone other than a Black woman? I think she should be ready to give up her seat and advocate for that,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris won’t officially vacate her seat until she is sworn in as vice president on Jan. 20. But, says Martinez Garcel of the Latino Community Foundation, time is not Newsom’s friend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The longer he waits, the harder it’s going to get. And he’s very diplomatic and he’s going to piss more people off and we know that’s not something that he likes to do,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a governor dealing with a surging COVID-19 pandemic, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11847570/gov-newsom-went-to-party-violated-own-virus-rules\">French Laundry dining faux pas\u003c/a> and various other crises, Newsom could use the appointment to change the subject. Or, he might prefer to wait until the air of crisis dissipates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Dianne Feinstein — the ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee — is the right person to lead the fight against the confirmation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feinstein has long been to the right of many California Democrats, and over her decades in public service she's never been a favorite of the progressive wing of the party. In recent years, the 87-year-old senator has angered some for being too collegial and bipartisan at a time when many Democrats are ready to fight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This week, Politico \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/23/dianne-feinstein-supreme-court-battle-420357\">published a story\u003c/a> citing more than a dozen unnamed Democratic sources expressing concern about whether Feinstein is “capable of leading the aggressive effort Democrats need” to fight whomever Trump names.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while most people are reticent to challenge the powerful senior senator on the record, some progressive leaders in California did speak out this week when Feinstein said she would not support ending the filibuster — the arcane Senate rule that lets the minority party block legislation. Ending the filibuster is a long-term goal of progressive Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Filibusters are a relic from the time of segregation,” said San Jose Assemblyman Ash Kalra.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the first Indian American to serve in the state Legislature, Kalra is emblematic of the new face of the party.

Dianne Feinstein — the ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee — is the right person to lead the fight against the confirmation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feinstein has long been to the right of many California Democrats, and over her decades in public service she's never been a favorite of the progressive wing of the party. In recent years, the 87-year-old senator has angered some for being too collegial and bipartisan at a time when many Democrats are ready to fight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This week, Politico \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/23/dianne-feinstein-supreme-court-battle-420357\">published a story\u003c/a> citing more than a dozen unnamed Democratic sources expressing concern about whether Feinstein is “capable of leading the aggressive effort Democrats need” to fight whomever Trump names.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while most people are reticent to challenge the powerful senior senator on the record, some progressive leaders in California did speak out this week when Feinstein said she would not support ending the filibuster — the arcane Senate rule that lets the minority party block legislation. Ending the filibuster is a long-term goal of progressive Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Filibusters are a relic from the time of segregation,” said San Jose Assemblyman Ash Kalra.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the first Indian American to serve in the state Legislature, Kalra is emblematic of the new face of the party. He supported former California Senate President Kevin de León in 2016 when the fellow Democrat unsuccessfully challenged Feinstein.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kalra says it’s important for Democrats to make clear to Republicans that if they push through a nomination before the election — “go nuclear,” as he put it — that all options are on the table.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris sent a letter Wednesday asking the U.S. Department of Homeland Security inspector general to look into “alarming reports of conduct by staff” during a recent incident at the Otay Mesa Detention Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The allegation comes amid mounting calls by public officials and advocates to release people from federal immigration detention facilities during the coronavirus pandemic to stem further spread of the disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seventeen detainees at the Otay Mesa facility have already tested positive for COVID-19, along with 14 staff members from both U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and private prison operator CoreCivic — far more cases than at any other ICE facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Letter from Sens.

No other ICE detention center in California has so far reported cases, although immigration lawyers say that few detainees are being tested for the coronavirus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In their \u003ca href=\"https://www.harris.senate.gov/news/press-releases/harris-demands-dhs-oig-investigate-treatment-of-detained-individuals-at-otay-mesa-detention-center\">letter\u003c/a> to DHS Inspector General Joseph V. Cuffari, Feinstein and Harris — along with Democratic Rep. Juan Vargas whose district includes Otay Mesa — requested an immediate investigation into the April 10 incident, which reportedly began when guards told detainees they would have to sign documents in English in order to receive masks to protect against COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People are fearful during this time, particularly those in U.S. custody who are especially vulnerable to infection but face limited access to information about how to protect themselves, limited ability to observe protective measures like social distancing and limited language access services,” the three lawmakers wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These allegations are all the more troubling in light of your office’s consistent findings during the course of over two years that ICE has failed to adequately protect the health and safety of individuals in its custody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Diego immigrant advocates told KQED that the Otay Mesa incident allegedly began after some female detainees cut up T-shirts to use as improvised masks and were then told by guards that they would have to sign liability release forms if they wanted real masks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The form was provided in English only, and when one person translated its meaning, the women refused to sign, according to attorney Ian Seruelo, who represents one of the women, a Mexican asylum-seeker who has been detained for more than six months. Seruelo said his client told him a commotion ensued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s when they called in the male, stronger guards and pepper sprayed them,” said Seruelo. “[My client] said she was able to cover her face. She was handcuffed and taken to isolation. She saw two others handcuffed as well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Audio of the incident was also captured in a phone call recorded on April 10 by a volunteer with Pueblos Sin Fronteras, an immigration rights group, who was speaking with a detainee as the situation escalated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the recording, which was posted on \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/PuebloSF/videos/647580456025723/\">Facebook\u003c/a>, one of the women in Spanish says, “Please help us get out! They’re spraying pepper spray into the cells.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly after, she says, “They’re taking people out of the cells in handcuffs,” and then begins to shriek.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CoreCivic, the private prison operator that runs Otay Mesa under contract with ICE, denied that staff used force, and said in a statement, “regarding the pepper spray claim, those allegations are patently false.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The temporary removal of three detainees from one of the pods was in direct response to their being disruptive during the issuance of the face masks,” wrote Amanda Gilchrist, CoreCivic’s public affairs director. “At no time was any force used to remove these individuals, and they were returned to the pod a short while later.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gilchrist added that no signed waiver will be required to receive a mask, and that all detainees have been issued face masks. In her statement, she also said that CoreCivic is working with ICE medical staff to screen employees, disinfect surfaces, encourage social distancing and hand-washing and quarantine sick detainees and people they’ve had contact with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the company’s quarantine approach has raised concerns for another immigrant advocate. Attorney Dulce Garcia, executive director of the group Border Angels, said she’s been trying to post a bond for an asylum-seeker who has been approved for release but said officials told her he had to stay in his quarantined unit for 14 days, even though he’s not sick and hasn’t been tested for COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No one can get out of the cohort,” said Garcia. “Today we received notice that they moved someone who tested positive and had a fever last week into the cohort. Every time they put a new person in, the clock starts again. How will they ever get out?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia said her client has family in the U.S. with a home where he would be able to isolate himself upon his release. For now, she said, he is stuck in a unit with about 100 men sleeping in eight-person bunk rooms, eating together and sharing bathrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s afraid he’s going to die there,” said Garcia. “He’s desperate. He doesn’t know how to distance himself and he’s afraid everyone is going to give it to him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CoreCivic confirmed that housing pods at Otay Mesa with positive cases are under quarantine, and said “high-medical-risk detainees” are being separated. Gilchrist, the company spokeswoman, referred KQED to ICE for further comment, but they agency did not respond by press time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE has reduced the number of people in custody nationally, from more than 38,000 three weeks ago to a total of just over 32,000 as of Saturday. There were 3,402 people in ICE’s four California detention facilities as of March 28, the most recent data available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Due to the unprecedented nature of COVID-19, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is reviewing cases of individuals in detention who may be vulnerable to the virus. Utilizing CDC guidance along with the advice of medical professionals, ICE may place individuals in a number of alternatives to detention options,” ICE said in a statement released by spokeswoman Paige Hughes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials said they’ve released almost 700 medically-vulnerable immigrants, including pregnant women and people over 60.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=related coverage\" tag=\"immigration\"]Many of these releases have been ordered by courts responding to a series of lawsuits filed in recent week by advocates around the country. Federal judges in California have ordered the release of at least 10 ICE detainees. Courts have made similar rulings in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts, and other cases are pending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some elected officials — including Harris and state Attorney General Xavier Becerra — are \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/system/files/attachments/press-docs/4.13.20%20-%20Letter%20to%20DHS%20Acting%20Secretary.pdf\">asking ICE\u003c/a> to go further and release detainees who pose no threat to public safety. And this week, Sen. Cory Booker, D-New Jersey, and Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Washington, \u003ca href=\"https://www.booker.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/MDM20356.pdf\">introduced a bill \u003c/a>to move most inmates out of ICE detention and suspend most immigration enforcement during the current pandemic and future public health emergencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People in ICE custody are not serving criminal sentences; they are being held in administrative detention while awaiting hearings in immigration court. The detained population has swelled under President Trump, reaching more than 52,000 last spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile lawyers for immigrants at Otay Mesa and other detention centers, including the large Mesa Verde ICE Processing Facility in Bakersfield, say their clients have launched hunger strikes to push for release or at least better protection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a recording made Saturday and obtained by KQED, Pablo Ramirez, a detained man at Mesa Verde, said he and others had started a hunger strike the day before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s virus in here. We have a feeling it might get in here,” said Ramirez. “They’re not treating us with the medical care that we need. They don’t test us for anything. They say they screen, but they don’t even take our temperatures.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Susan Beaty, a lawyer with Oakland’s Centro Legal de la Raza, who is in touch with detained immigrants at Mesa Verde, said detainees there gave up their hunger strike after guards threatened to deny them access to the commissary, where they buy soap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seruelo, the San Diego immigration attorney, said he knew about 20 men at Otay Mesa who had started a hunger strike in early April to protest conditions during the outbreak. But he said most discontinued it after being placed in solitary confinement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, he continues to push for the release of his client, the woman he said was pepper sprayed. The woman does not have any record of violence, he said, stressing that practically everyone released with an electronic ankle monitor shows up for court. He said his third request for her release, sent two weeks ago, has so far gone unanswered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“ICE should really move quickly. It’s a very dangerous strain of virus,” said Seruelo. “I don’t understand why they are taking so much risk when we are talking about human lives here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

In her statement, she also said that CoreCivic is working with ICE medical staff to screen employees, disinfect surfaces, encourage social distancing and hand-washing and quarantine sick detainees and people they’ve had contact with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the company’s quarantine approach has raised concerns for another immigrant advocate. Attorney Dulce Garcia, executive director of the group Border Angels, said she’s been trying to post a bond for an asylum-seeker who has been approved for release but said officials told her he had to stay in his quarantined unit for 14 days, even though he’s not sick and hasn’t been tested for COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No one can get out of the cohort,” said Garcia. “Today we received notice that they moved someone who tested positive and had a fever last week into the cohort. Every time they put a new person in, the clock starts again. How will they ever get out?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia said her client has family in the U.S. with a home where he would be able to isolate himself upon his release. For now, she said, he is stuck in a unit with about 100 men sleeping in eight-person bunk rooms, eating together and sharing bathrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s afraid he’s going to die there,” said Garcia. “He’s desperate. He doesn’t know how to distance himself and he’s afraid everyone is going to give it to him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CoreCivic confirmed that housing pods at Otay Mesa with positive cases are under quarantine, and said “high-medical-risk detainees” are being separated. Gilchrist, the company spokeswoman, referred KQED to ICE for further comment, but they agency did not respond by press time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE has reduced the number of people in custody nationally, from more than 38,000 three weeks ago to a total of just over 32,000 as of Saturday. There were 3,402 people in ICE’s four California detention facilities as of March 28, the most recent data available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Due to the unprecedented nature of COVID-19, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is reviewing cases of individuals in detention who may be vulnerable to the virus. Utilizing CDC guidance along with the advice of medical professionals, ICE may place individuals in a number of alternatives to detention options,” ICE said in a statement released by spokeswoman Paige Hughes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials said they’ve released almost 700 medically-vulnerable immigrants, including pregnant women and people over 60.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And this week, Sen. Cory Booker, D-New Jersey, and Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Washington, \u003ca href=\"https://www.booker.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/MDM20356.pdf\">introduced a bill \u003c/a>to move most inmates out of ICE detention and suspend most immigration enforcement during the current pandemic and future public health emergencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People in ICE custody are not serving criminal sentences; they are being held in administrative detention while awaiting hearings in immigration court. The detained population has swelled under President Trump, reaching more than 52,000 last spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile lawyers for immigrants at Otay Mesa and other detention centers, including the large Mesa Verde ICE Processing Facility in Bakersfield, say their clients have launched hunger strikes to push for release or at least better protection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a recording made Saturday and obtained by KQED, Pablo Ramirez, a detained man at Mesa Verde, said he and others had started a hunger strike the day before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s virus in here. We have a feeling it might get in here,” said Ramirez. “They’re not treating us with the medical care that we need. They don’t test us for anything. They say they screen, but they don’t even take our temperatures.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Susan Beaty, a lawyer with Oakland’s Centro Legal de la Raza, who is in touch with detained immigrants at Mesa Verde, said detainees there gave up their hunger strike after guards threatened to deny them access to the commissary, where they buy soap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seruelo, the San Diego immigration attorney, said he knew about 20 men at Otay Mesa who had started a hunger strike in early April to protest conditions during the outbreak. But he said most discontinued it after being placed in solitary confinement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, he continues to push for the release of his client, the woman he said was pepper sprayed. The woman does not have any record of violence, he said, stressing that practically everyone released with an electronic ankle monitor shows up for court. He said his third request for her release, sent two weeks ago, has so far gone unanswered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“ICE should really move quickly. It’s a very dangerous strain of virus,” said Seruelo. “I don’t understand why they are taking so much risk when we are talking about human lives here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
