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.",

His office said he still plans to complete the full line, although he said the current plan would cost too much and take too long.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He's pledged to continue environmental work on the full line, which is required to keep the federal money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congress nearly a decade ago approved the $929 million that Trump wants to cancel. The state has not started spending that money. But it has already spent the extra $2.5 billion that Trump now wants back. It's unclear if the federal government can demand that money back before the 2022 deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. Department of Transportation said it is \"actively exploring every legal option\" to get back the money.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The president says he plans to allocate a total of $8 billion to the wall, including redirecting $3.6 billion in military construction funds and $2.5 billion from the Department of Defense's counter-drug activities. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump acknowledged the likelihood of legal challenges, saying on Friday, \"We will possibly get a bad ruling, and then we'll get another bad ruling, and then we'll end up in the Supreme Court, and hopefully we'll get a fair shake.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>States have \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/02/16/695321387/trumps-national-emergency-sets-up-legal-fight-over-spending-authority\" target=\"_blank\">pointed to the president's own words\u003c/a> to say there is no national emergency.

Those are not the kind of words you hear from a president who's about to declare a national emergency,\" Becerra said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House has argued that the move is routine. According to the Brennan Center for Justice, presidents \u003ca href=\"https://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html?id=5740420-Declared-National-Emergencies\" target=\"_blank\">have declared national emergencies 60 times\u003c/a>, including Trump, since the power was codified in the National Emergencies Act of 1976.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Democratic critics, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, have advanced the same argument as the California-led lawsuit, claiming \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/02/15/695203852/many-presidents-have-declared-emergencies-but-not-like-trump-has\" target=\"_blank\">Trump's declaration violates lawmakers' power to set spending priorities\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Experts seem to think the courts are likely to defer to the president on the question of whether there is an emergency, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/02/16/695321387/trumps-national-emergency-sets-up-legal-fight-over-spending-authority\" target=\"_blank\">NPR's Nina Totenberg has reported\u003c/a>, and the legal fight is likely to boil down to whether the president has the right under existing law to \"reprogram\" money Congress has appropriated.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11727183/national-emergency-declaration-prompts-presidents-day-protests-lawsuits\">National Emergency Declaration Prompts Presidents Day Protests, Lawsuits\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11727183/national-emergency-declaration-prompts-presidents-day-protests-lawsuits\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/GettyImages-1125737639-1020x679.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>This coalition of states in the lawsuit also includes Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon and Virginia. The group includes two of the four states located along the southern border, California and New Mexico. All but one of the states, Maryland, have Democratic governors. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit alleges that redirecting funds from drug interdiction, military construction projects and law enforcement initiatives toward a wall would cause \"significant harm\" to the public safety, financial well-being and natural resources of the plaintiff states and their residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are a number of very important military projects, Army Corps of Engineers projects, that would be robbed of money to continue to move forward,\" Becerra told NPR on Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plaintiffs also write that there is \"no national emergency at the southern border that warrants construction of a wall,\" citing Customs and Border Protection data that show a decrease in border crossings. In fact, illegal border crossings in the most recent fiscal year (ending in September 2018) were \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/sw-border-migration\" target=\"_blank\">lower than in either 2016 or 2014\u003c/a> and much lower than at their peak around 2000, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/01/08/683205814/fact-check-trumps-oval-office-pitch-for-a-border-wall\" target=\"_blank\">as NPR has previously reported\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration can expect numerous legal challenges from other groups, several of which have already been filed. Two landowners in Texas who would be impacted by the border wall \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/02/17/695536802/texas-landowners-sue-over-border-wall-plans\" target=\"_blank\">told NPR they are suing the government\u003c/a>. And the American Civil Liberties Union \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/news/aclu-challenge-national-emergency-declaration\">has announced that it will also file a lawsuit\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Demonstrators took to the streets in several cities on Monday to protest the national emergency declaration, including a gathering across the street from the White House in Washington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump criticized California's lead role in a multistate lawsuit challenging his emergency declaration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Twitter Tuesday, Trump noted last week's decision by California Gov. Gavin Newsom to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11725636/state-of-the-state-newsom-pulls-plug-on-s-f-to-l-a-high-speed-rail-project\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">cancel a high-speed rail line between Los Angeles and San Francisco\u003c/a>.

Those are not the kind of words you hear from a president who's about to declare a national emergency,\" Becerra said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House has argued that the move is routine. According to the Brennan Center for Justice, presidents \u003ca href=\"https://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html?id=5740420-Declared-National-Emergencies\" target=\"_blank\">have declared national emergencies 60 times\u003c/a>, including Trump, since the power was codified in the National Emergencies Act of 1976.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Democratic critics, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, have advanced the same argument as the California-led lawsuit, claiming \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/02/15/695203852/many-presidents-have-declared-emergencies-but-not-like-trump-has\" target=\"_blank\">Trump's declaration violates lawmakers' power to set spending priorities\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Experts seem to think the courts are likely to defer to the president on the question of whether there is an emergency, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/02/16/695321387/trumps-national-emergency-sets-up-legal-fight-over-spending-authority\" target=\"_blank\">NPR's Nina Totenberg has reported\u003c/a>, and the legal fight is likely to boil down to whether the president has the right under existing law to \"reprogram\" money Congress has appropriated.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11727183/national-emergency-declaration-prompts-presidents-day-protests-lawsuits\">National Emergency Declaration Prompts Presidents Day Protests, Lawsuits\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11727183/national-emergency-declaration-prompts-presidents-day-protests-lawsuits\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/GettyImages-1125737639-1020x679.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>This coalition of states in the lawsuit also includes Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon and Virginia. The group includes two of the four states located along the southern border, California and New Mexico. All but one of the states, Maryland, have Democratic governors. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit alleges that redirecting funds from drug interdiction, military construction projects and law enforcement initiatives toward a wall would cause \"significant harm\" to the public safety, financial well-being and natural resources of the plaintiff states and their residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are a number of very important military projects, Army Corps of Engineers projects, that would be robbed of money to continue to move forward,\" Becerra told NPR on Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plaintiffs also write that there is \"no national emergency at the southern border that warrants construction of a wall,\" citing Customs and Border Protection data that show a decrease in border crossings. In fact, illegal border crossings in the most recent fiscal year (ending in September 2018) were \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/sw-border-migration\" target=\"_blank\">lower than in either 2016 or 2014\u003c/a> and much lower than at their peak around 2000, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/01/08/683205814/fact-check-trumps-oval-office-pitch-for-a-border-wall\" target=\"_blank\">as NPR has previously reported\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration can expect numerous legal challenges from other groups, several of which have already been filed.

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Updated at 6:14 p.m. PT\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump will support a border security funding compromise, averting a partial government shutdown early Saturday — but he also will declare a national emergency in order to build the wall he has pushed for along the U.S.-Mexico border. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"President Trump will sign the government funding bill, and as he has stated before, he will also take other executive action — including a national emergency — to ensure we stop the national security and humanitarian crisis at the border,\" White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement. \"The President is once again delivering on his promise to build the wall, protect the border, and secure our great country.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By Thursday evening, Congress had easily passed the bipartisan spending deal, which had been crafted by lawmakers from both the chambers. The vote was 83-16 in the Senate and 300-128 in the House, constituting veto-proof majorities. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the president's decision removes the threat of another partial shutdown, it also raises the stakes in his push for a trademark border wall right as the 2020 presidential campaign is heating up. Trump's move to pursue additional funding for the wall through the declaration of a national emergency is an extraordinary and unprecedented possible use of presidential power — and one almost certain to elicit efforts to limit the executive branch's expansive authority over what constitutes such an emergency and how one is to be handled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump had seemed somewhat hesitant to sign the breakthrough deal that congressional negotiators reached in the wake of a previous 35-day shutdown, the longest ever in U.S. history. The proposal only includes $1.375 billion for border barriers and increases other border security funding — far short of the $5.7 billion Trump had demanded to make his signature campaign promise a reality. Many influential conservatives balked at that figure, which is what triggered Trump to back off an earlier similar funding offer in December that led to the partial shutdown. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But now he will go along with the offer — by adding his own controversial terms. For some time, Trump has floated the idea of declaring a national emergency to secure the funding he desires, and it's an idea that Democrats and many within the GOP have cautioned him against, both for the potential precedent it would set and legal challenges it almost certainly will face. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a joint statement, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said an emergency declaration \"would be a lawless act, a gross abuse of the power of the presidency and a desperate attempt to distract from the fact that President Trump broke his core promise to have Mexico pay for his wall.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/TeamPelosi/status/1096184812115767297\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is yet another demonstration of President Trump's naked contempt for the rule of law. This is not an emergency, and the president's fearmongering doesn't make it one. He couldn't convince Mexico, the American people or their elected representatives to pay for his ineffective and expensive wall, so now he's trying an end-run around Congress in a desperate attempt to put taxpayers on the hook for it. The Congress will defend our constitutional authorities,\" the Democratic leaders said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., was the first to make the announcement Thursday afternoon that Trump would back the legislative package. McConnell also said he would endorse the president's plan to declare a national emergency, even though the top Senate Republican seemed to previously warn against such a maneuver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And he — I would say to all my colleagues that he has indicated he's prepared to sign the bill. He will also be issuing a national emergency declaration at the same time. And I've indicated to him that I'm going to support the national emergency declaration,\" McConnell said on the Senate floor. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The $333 billion bipartisan spending package also funds a number of unrelated agencies that have become part of the overall spending fight. The bill also has restrictions on where the fencing can be built, including explicit protections for sites like \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11725867/butterflies-vs-border-wall-national-butterfly-center-seeks-restraining-order\">a butterfly refuge\u003c/a> in the Rio Grande Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McConnell and other top Republicans had urged Trump to sign it, with Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, the longest-serving Republican in the Senate, even invoking a high power after the daily morning prayer on Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Let's all pray that the president will have wisdom to sign the bill so government doesn't shut down,\" Grassley said before leading the chamber in the Pledge of Allegiance. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first, Democrats had celebrated the legislation as a victory over Trump's demand for $5.7 billion to build more than 200 miles of concrete wall along the U.S. border with Mexico. The final agreement includes a fraction of that funding for steel fencing that is similar to existing barriers elsewhere on the border. However, that victory was short-lived with the news of the emergency declaration, which Democrats have already indicated they would challenge in court. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't believe there's any good faith negotiations to have with Republicans if they're going to support the president doing an end run around Congress,\" Pelosi said in a press conference shortly after McConnell's remarks in the Senate. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So the precedent that the president is setting here is something that should be met with great unease and dismay by the Republicans, and of course we will respond when we review our options,\" Pelosi said, adding that \"Republicans should have some dismay about the door that they are opening, the threshold they are crossing.\"\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said earlier this month in his Spanish-language response to the State of the Union that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11723796/california-attorney-general-vows-to-sue-if-trump-uses-emergency-powers-to-build-wall\">he would sue the Trump administration\u003c/a> the moment the president declares a national emergency to free up funds for a border wall. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Any crisis on our border is of President Trump's own making: family separations, child detention, turning our backs on asylum seekers, and more. There is no national emergency. If Trump oversteps his authority and abandons negotiations with Congress by declaring a fabricated national emergency, we won't only call his bluff, we will do what we must to hold him accountable,\" Becerra said in a statement Thursday. \"No one is above the law.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There could also be a way Democrats in Congress could \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11725334/if-trump-declares-an-emergency-to-build-the-wall-congress-can-block-him\">seek to invalidate any emergency declaration\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking to reporters, Sanders dismissed any possible legal challenges to the emergency declaration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are very prepared but there shouldn't be [any challenges],\" the White House press secretary said. \"The president's doing his job. Congress should do theirs.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., a Trump ally, said in a statement that this was the right move from the president. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The budget deal is a down payment on the wall, provides funding for more immigration judges, and does not include a cap on detention beds for violent illegal immigrant offenders,\" Graham said. \"It's now time for President Trump to use executive power, including declaring national emergency, to build the wall.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I've heard the arguments that it will be the end of Western order, and I don't believe that. I've heard the arguments that it sets a precedent, as if future presidents wouldn't be smart enough to know they have this option. The president isn't exercising any power that Congress didn't give him,\" said Sen. John Kennedy, R-La. \"I don't know how he is going to structure it. It may be there will have to be a vote of Congress. Almost surely someone will try to tie it up in court.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other senators, however, sounded more skeptical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My concerns about an emergency declaration were the precedent it would establish,\" said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas. \"I also thought it would not be a practical solution because there would be a lawsuit filed immediately and the money would presumably be balled up associated with that litigation. I thought there were other, better alternatives.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I generally don't think that's a good approach but we'll have to deal with it and see what can be done about it,\" Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said of the impending national emergency declaration. \"But again I want to see what he actually does.\"\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In general I'm not for using emergency powers because I think the Constitution is very clear at very — trying to separate the powers. And if we start naming things as emergency, very quickly we lose things — sort of the checks and balances of government,\" said libertarian-leaning Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The homeland security funding bill would also reduce the number of immigration detention beds from roughly 49,060 to roughly 40,000 over the course of a year. Detention beds became a major issue in the negotiations after \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11725493/ice-detention-beds-new-stumbling-block-in-efforts-to-prevent-another-shutdown\">Democrats sought to curb aggressive immigration enforcement\u003c/a> in exchange for more overall spending on border security. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislation also includes a number of funding changes for programs ranging from border security to energy and environment. It includes $9.3 billion for the Environmental Protection Agency and the Land and Water Conservation Fund, $17 billion in new infrastructure funding, a $1.8 billion spending increase for the 2020 census and a 1.9 percent pay raise for federal workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, negotiators were unable to agree on a number of priorities they hoped to add on to the spending bill. Talks broke down over a measure to provide back pay for federal contractors who missed paychecks during the last shutdown, according to several aides familiar with the talks. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That failure forced them to abandon all unrelated policies, like funding for disaster aid and an extension of the Violence Against Women Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leaders plan to try to address those issues separately, and grants under the Violence Against Women Act will continue to be funded, according to several leadership aides. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2019 \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NPR\u003c/a>. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",
