He reports on a wide range of stories from current court cases to San Jose city hall.\r\n\r\nSince joining KQED in 1990, Peter has covered everything from the beginnings of the World Wide Web to the dot-com bust, from preserving Silicon Valley's open space to the preservation of historic Valley landmarks.\r\n\r\nPeter caught the radio bug at WAUS-FM while still a student at Andrews University in his home town of Berrien Springs, MI. He did local news and hosted a classical music program. Since then, he has pursued a variety of assignments, including production work at WBAI in New York and broadcasting to the English language community of Geneva, Switzerland via Radio 74.

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.",

Some Central Americans squinted at the papers as if they were love letters they didn’t believe. “Open the border or we’ll shut it down! All of us must be allowed to enter!” the notes read in Spanish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The handouts, made in the United States, informed migrants of their legal right to seek asylum regardless of how they enter the U.S. Some featured illustrations of silhouetted families tearing down a chain-link fence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The flyers were written in the first-person plural, as if by the migrants themselves. But they were, in fact, authored by By Any Means Necessary (BAMN), a U.S.-based group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Getting across the border by any means necessary is absolutely the right thing to do,” BAMN national chair Shanta Driver told KPBS in a phone interview from the U.S. “We urge and encourage people to take mass action.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5U6fhSzzGE\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 64-year-old attorney and civil rights organizer said many migrants are not safe in Mexico.

They come from countries where political violence is a way of life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some migrants disagree. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Karen Perez, 32, is a Nicaraguan who traveled with the caravan and her four children.

She said BAMN is using the migrants to convey a message to President Donald Trump, and that it is backfiring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That is not solidarity. That’s exploitation. They’re exploiting migrants to make a political point about who should and shouldn’t be allowed into the United States,” she said. \"They're feeding into the narrative that anybody who tries to help migrants is also criminal, and it's really doing a lot to harm our movement.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a precaution, she said, Al Otro Lado has changed its volunteer policy to prohibit anyone who works with the organization from encouraging migrants to cross the border illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Other Activists Provide Aid And Protection\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some left-wing American activists under a collective they call the \"Caravan Support Network\" say they’re taking a more moderate approach with the migrants, bringing food and donations and protecting them from hate groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Evan Duke III stood 6’3” and towered above most of the Mexican police officers stationed at a migrant shelter in Tijuana called Contra Viento y Mareo on a recent Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duke, a 48-year-old anti-fascist organizer from Seattle, had previously faced down white supremacists and misogynists at protests by violent far-right groups like Proud Boys, Patriot Prayer and Unite the Right in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Jan. 7, he was with about a dozen younger Americans who’d brought coffee and breakfast burritos to migrants who faced eviction from the shelter.

A soft but rage-y kitten that wants to watch all the institutions of corporate white America burn.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can’t do the interview,” Duke said after about an hour. He said it would cause “internal strife.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few days later, Duke changed his mind. He met us by the border in Playas de Tijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duke explained why the activists came to Tijuana in the first place. He said the Caravan Support Network started operating in Tijuana on Nov. 25, the day of the first tear-gas incident at the border, to provide food and other relief to migrants. Additionally, they wanted to protect the Central Americans from anti-migrant groups that were beginning to organize marches against them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When right-wing hate groups threaten to march on refugees, we’re going to put a call out to the community to stand in support of them … to put bodies in front of them if they’re threatened,” Duke said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Dec. 4, the far-right group Oath Keepers put out \u003ca href=\"https://oathkeepers.org/2018/12/oath-keepers-call-to-action-border-operation/\">a call to action\u003c/a> for militants to head to the border to “help stem the tide of illegal invasion.” The group did not respond to repeated requests for comment about those plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duke said his group has received death threats from anti-migrant activists, including one on Facebook that KPBS viewed: “I will kill you if you get too comfortable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said his group’s initiative to help the caravan is part of a larger plan: the “\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/asylumaid/\">Border Support Network\u003c/a>,” to set up camps on indigenous land along the entire U.S.-Mexico border, to try to stop President Trump’s wall construction and other projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They plan to launch this effort at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/somisekvillage/\">Somi Se’k Village Base Camp\u003c/a>, where, with the help of the local tribe, they will educate activists in flora and fauna conservation, indigenous ways of life and nonviolent direct action such as\u003ca href=\"https://wagingnonviolence.org/feature/tree-sits-make-for-high-drama/\"> tree sits\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeping_dragon_(manoeuver)\">sleeping dragons.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he believes in the Amazonian prophecy of the eagle and the condor, which says that two divided paths, represented by the birds of prey, will soon reunite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I advocate for an end to borders … that’s just me personally,” he said, emphasizing that not everyone in the Border Support Network has the same beliefs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked about the New Year’s incident, Duke said he wasn’t there. But his friend Brendon Tucker, a 24-year-old Texan, was there and wanted to correct the record about that night. He denied allegations that activists had done anything illegal. He said they ran into the migrants as they approached the fence of their own volition, and that the Americans stopped to document human rights abuses and to offer medical aid. Someone in their group had milk of magnesia, to counter tear gas effects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tucker said he wanted to help migrants after learning that the U.S. contributed to unrest in Central America, such as by backing military coups, sending guns, and emitting greenhouse gases that hurt harvests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe in cleaning up our own mess, and this is a mess we created in the first place,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tucker knows how to cook, and after hearing about family separations last summer, he set off to launch a kitchen for migrants south of Brownsville, Texas. When he heard thousands of migrants were going to be stuck in Tijuana while awaiting asylum in the U.S., he traveled west.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you see an injustice in your country, and you don’t speak out about it, there’s nothing less patriotic than that,” he said. “We need people en masse to show up and get involved. If you’re not involved now, I don’t know what you’re doing. You can’t sit out there and tweet about it all the time. You gotta get out and do something about it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tucker, who’s blonde with a Texas Hill Country accent, said he didn’t always feel passionately about this issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In Texas, we were taught Manifest Destiny like it was the best thing since sliced bread,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Books are what changed his mind about the superiority of the white race. He rattled off a list of books he said Americans who think of migrants as “criminals” should read: \"Manufacturing Consent\" by Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky and \"What Uncle Sam Really Wants,\" also by Noam Chomsky.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'Paloma For Trump' Encourages Migrants to Go Home\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Paloma Zuniga, a 41-year-old Mexican-American media personality who goes by “\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/PalomaForTrump/\">Paloma for Trump,\u003c/a>” has become the face of the anti-migrant movement in Tijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She travels to migrant shelters and makes Facebook Live videos about the people she’s characterized to her 49,000 Facebook followers as “invaders.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While she was filming at Contra Viento y Mareo on Dec. 21, a security guard got angry and whipped out his phone to film her back. “Chill out,” she said. “We’re making a documentary.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11719154\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/RedHadActivist-800x471.jpg\" alt=\"Paloma Zuniga talks to a Honduran migrant in Tijuana who wants to go home, Dec. 21, 2018.\" width=\"800\" height=\"471\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11719154\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/RedHadActivist.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/RedHadActivist-160x94.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Paloma Zuniga talks to a Honduran migrant in Tijuana who wants to go home, Dec. 21, 2018. \u003ccite>(KRIS ARCIAGA/KPBS)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Zuniga has sold “Make Tijuana Great Again” baseball caps since the arrival of the caravan.

She said they would pull her hair and push her because of her accent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Hispanic people are all very jealous of each other,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the migrant shelter, Zuniga found a Honduran man she had met before, who had told her he had plans to go home. He told her he needed money to buy bus tickets for his two friends to join him. He wanted to know if he could ask her followers on Facebook to help him; they were going to tell Hondurans to stop organizing caravans. He said he was disillusioned with how hard it was to get into the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Okay I love your message,” Zuniga told him. “I’m going to go live … he wants to send a message.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuniga was part of a confrontation against the caravan in the fall. Rocks and punches were thrown. She told KPBS she has since realized the migrants are not that bad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re not all criminals, which I also had a really bad understanding of them,” she said. “And as I’ve gotten to know them, there’s a lot of persecution, there’s a lot of oppression from their government.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuniga says she’s not against all the migrants — just the ones who break the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Give me your hand so they see,” she tells the Honduran man who was heading back home, gripping his hand while her boyfriend recorded them on Facebook Live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while thousands of these Central Americans want asylum, Zuniga said most of them don’t deserve it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They call me a racist all the time.

He said it would cause “internal strife.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few days later, Duke changed his mind. He met us by the border in Playas de Tijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duke explained why the activists came to Tijuana in the first place. He said the Caravan Support Network started operating in Tijuana on Nov. 25, the day of the first tear-gas incident at the border, to provide food and other relief to migrants. Additionally, they wanted to protect the Central Americans from anti-migrant groups that were beginning to organize marches against them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When right-wing hate groups threaten to march on refugees, we’re going to put a call out to the community to stand in support of them … to put bodies in front of them if they’re threatened,” Duke said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Dec. 4, the far-right group Oath Keepers put out \u003ca href=\"https://oathkeepers.org/2018/12/oath-keepers-call-to-action-border-operation/\">a call to action\u003c/a> for militants to head to the border to “help stem the tide of illegal invasion.” The group did not respond to repeated requests for comment about those plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duke said his group has received death threats from anti-migrant activists, including one on Facebook that KPBS viewed: “I will kill you if you get too comfortable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said his group’s initiative to help the caravan is part of a larger plan: the “\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/asylumaid/\">Border Support Network\u003c/a>,” to set up camps on indigenous land along the entire U.S.-Mexico border, to try to stop President Trump’s wall construction and other projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They plan to launch this effort at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/somisekvillage/\">Somi Se’k Village Base Camp\u003c/a>, where, with the help of the local tribe, they will educate activists in flora and fauna conservation, indigenous ways of life and nonviolent direct action such as\u003ca href=\"https://wagingnonviolence.org/feature/tree-sits-make-for-high-drama/\"> tree sits\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeping_dragon_(manoeuver)\">sleeping dragons.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he believes in the Amazonian prophecy of the eagle and the condor, which says that two divided paths, represented by the birds of prey, will soon reunite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I advocate for an end to borders … that’s just me personally,” he said, emphasizing that not everyone in the Border Support Network has the same beliefs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked about the New Year’s incident, Duke said he wasn’t there. But his friend Brendon Tucker, a 24-year-old Texan, was there and wanted to correct the record about that night. He denied allegations that activists had done anything illegal. He said they ran into the migrants as they approached the fence of their own volition, and that the Americans stopped to document human rights abuses and to offer medical aid. Someone in their group had milk of magnesia, to counter tear gas effects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tucker said he wanted to help migrants after learning that the U.S. contributed to unrest in Central America, such as by backing military coups, sending guns, and emitting greenhouse gases that hurt harvests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe in cleaning up our own mess, and this is a mess we created in the first place,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tucker knows how to cook, and after hearing about family separations last summer, he set off to launch a kitchen for migrants south of Brownsville, Texas. When he heard thousands of migrants were going to be stuck in Tijuana while awaiting asylum in the U.S., he traveled west.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you see an injustice in your country, and you don’t speak out about it, there’s nothing less patriotic than that,” he said. “We need people en masse to show up and get involved. If you’re not involved now, I don’t know what you’re doing. You can’t sit out there and tweet about it all the time. You gotta get out and do something about it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tucker, who’s blonde with a Texas Hill Country accent, said he didn’t always feel passionately about this issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In Texas, we were taught Manifest Destiny like it was the best thing since sliced bread,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Books are what changed his mind about the superiority of the white race. He rattled off a list of books he said Americans who think of migrants as “criminals” should read: \"Manufacturing Consent\" by Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky and \"What Uncle Sam Really Wants,\" also by Noam Chomsky.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'Paloma For Trump' Encourages Migrants to Go Home\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Paloma Zuniga, a 41-year-old Mexican-American media personality who goes by “\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/PalomaForTrump/\">Paloma for Trump,\u003c/a>” has become the face of the anti-migrant movement in Tijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She travels to migrant shelters and makes Facebook Live videos about the people she’s characterized to her 49,000 Facebook followers as “invaders.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While she was filming at Contra Viento y Mareo on Dec. 21, a security guard got angry and whipped out his phone to film her back. “Chill out,” she said. “We’re making a documentary.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11719154\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/RedHadActivist-800x471.jpg\" alt=\"Paloma Zuniga talks to a Honduran migrant in Tijuana who wants to go home, Dec. 21, 2018.\" width=\"800\" height=\"471\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11719154\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/RedHadActivist.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/RedHadActivist-160x94.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Paloma Zuniga talks to a Honduran migrant in Tijuana who wants to go home, Dec. 21, 2018. \u003ccite>(KRIS ARCIAGA/KPBS)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Zuniga has sold “Make Tijuana Great Again” baseball caps since the arrival of the caravan.

Most of my friends are blonde and very American,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuniga was 11 when she migrated to the U.S. from Mexico with her mother, who married an American man with two daughters of Polish descent. “I couldn’t get away with not learning English ‘cause (my stepsisters) would pick on me like you wouldn’t believe,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuniga said the only discrimination she’s ever faced personally was in elementary school, and it wasn’t from white people, but from U.S.-born Mexicans. She said they would pull her hair and push her because of her accent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Hispanic people are all very jealous of each other,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the migrant shelter, Zuniga found a Honduran man she had met before, who had told her he had plans to go home. He told her he needed money to buy bus tickets for his two friends to join him. He wanted to know if he could ask her followers on Facebook to help him; they were going to tell Hondurans to stop organizing caravans. He said he was disillusioned with how hard it was to get into the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Okay I love your message,” Zuniga told him. “I’m going to go live … he wants to send a message.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuniga was part of a confrontation against the caravan in the fall. Rocks and punches were thrown. She told KPBS she has since realized the migrants are not that bad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re not all criminals, which I also had a really bad understanding of them,” she said. “And as I’ve gotten to know them, there’s a lot of persecution, there’s a lot of oppression from their government.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuniga says she’s not against all the migrants — just the ones who break the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Give me your hand so they see,” she tells the Honduran man who was heading back home, gripping his hand while her boyfriend recorded them on Facebook Live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while thousands of these Central Americans want asylum, Zuniga said most of them don’t deserve it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They call me a racist all the time.

In light of the 800,000 great American workers not receiving pay, I am sure you would agree that postponing this public relations event is totally appropriate,\" Trump wrote in a letter to Pelosi. \"I also feel that, during this period, it would be better if you were in Washington negotiating with me and joining the Strong Border Security movement to end the Shutdown.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi and other members of the congressional delegation, commonly referred to as a \"codel,\" were on a bus headed to the airport to depart, and the Capitol Police already had personnel on the ground in Europe for the trip. Other members slated to be on the trip included House intelligence committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., House Veterans' Affairs Committee Chairman Mark Takano, D-Calif., and Rep. Stephen Lynch, D-Mass. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[documentcloud url=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/5687926-Trump-Letter-to-Pelosi-Blocking-Travel.html\" responsive=true height=800]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the latest back-and-forth between the president and the new Democratic speaker as a nearly monthlong partial shutdown shows no signs of ending. The two parties remain at a stalemate, with Trump demanding funding for a wall or barrier along the Mexican border, and Pelosi and other Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill insisting the government should be reopened before negotiations continue on border security issues. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi fired the first volley against Trump earlier this week, \u003ca href=\"https://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html?id=5685399-Pelosi-Letter-To-Trump-On-SOTU\">when she wrote\u003c/a> that his annual State of the Union address, originally slated for Jan. 29, should be postponed until after the full government reopens, citing, in part, security concerns. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such a planned trip by Pelosi to a war zone had not been publicly announced, and would not have been for security reasons. The speaker would use military planes for such travel, and that is what Trump is now denying her. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Obviously, if you would like to make your journey by flying commercial, that would certainly be your prerogative,\" Trump added in the letter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill said in a statement that while Trump's letter claimed Pelosi and Democrats were also traveling to Brussels and Egypt, the stop in Brussels was simply for pilot rest, where \"the delegation was scheduled to meet with top NATO commanders, U.S. military leaders and key allies – to affirm the United States' ironclad commitment to the NATO alliance.\" A stop in Egypt was not on their agenda, Hammill said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The purpose of the trip was to express appreciation and thanks to our men and women in uniform for their service and dedication, and to obtain critical national security and intelligence briefings from those on the front lines,\" Hammill continued, pointing out that the president \"traveled to Iraq during the Trump Shutdown as did a Republican CODEL led by\" New York Rep.

Speaker Pelosi's threat to cancel the State of the Union is very irresponsible and blatantly political. President Trump denying Speaker Pelosi military travel to visit our troops in Afghanistan, our allies in Egypt and NATO is also inappropriate,\" Graham said in a statement. \"I am glad the Speaker wants to meet our troops and hear from our commanders and allies. I am very disappointed she's playing politics with the State of the Union. I wish our political leadership could find the same desire to work for common goals as those who serve our nation in uniform and other capacities.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR congressional correspondent Susan Davis contributed. \u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

Now there's some of us on the committee, like myself, that have prior investigative experience. I was a prosecutor for many years in the U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles.

So, if there is a reason why this is happening apart from terrible judgment or lack of experience — if there's something that the president fears the Russians could expose — we need to know about it.
