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.",

"content": "\u003cp>A federal judge in California has approved a settlement that allows most of the nearly 2,700 migrant children taken from parents at the border this year to get another chance to apply for asylum. Many of their parents will also get that chance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The settlement, reached between the government and the American Civil Liberties Union, resolved three lawsuits challenging the separation of migrant families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The settlement is a remarkable piece of work, accomplished through a great deal of time and effort by the parties,” said U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw at a hearing in San Diego Thursday. “It’s not perfect, but we are dealing with a situation that is far from perfect.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agreement applies to children who were still in U.S. custody on June 26 — the date when Sabraw \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11677646/judge-bars-migrant-family-separations-orders-return-of-children-within-30-days\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ordered\u003c/a> the government to reunite the families. Parents of eligible children can also apply, but only if they are still in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We believe it will help hundreds, if not thousands, of families,” said ACLU attorney Lee Gelernt after the hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plaintiffs argued that families had been so traumatized by the forcible separation that they may not have been able to make credible asylum claims initially.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some advocates \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11698629/parents-deported-without-their-kids-face-untenable-choice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">objected\u003c/a> to the settlement because it excludes more than 400 parents who were deported without their children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those parents had to choose between being reunited with their children in their home countries or leaving their children in the U.S. in hopes they’d be allowed to stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In overruling that objection, Sabraw said the settlement addresses the issue of deported parents by allowing the ACLU to bring individual cases to the government to reconsider allowing them to reapply for asylum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The judge instructed the government to operate in good faith when reviewing these cases,” Gelernt said. “We’re hopeful the government will agree to return these parents and, if not, we may have to bring that issue back to Judge Sabraw.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorneys have 30 days to decide which cases of deported parents to bring to the government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gelernt was also satisfied that the court ordered the government to fix some issues that affect a minority of the families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, two women who petitioned the court to be included in the settlement are legal guardians of children — not parents — who are still in the U.S. They said they should be allowed to reapply for asylum, the same as any parent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judge ordered the parties to meet and confer to resolve the question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Most Children Reunited With Families\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even as the settlement agreement winds down, the court will continue to oversee the reunification of families that remain separated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In court papers filed Nov. 8, the government reported that 2,666 children have been identified as having been taken from a parent. And of those, 2,458 children have already been discharged from the government’s care to a parent, relative or sponsor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judge Sabraw has set a status conference for Nov. 30 to get an update on the reunification process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘Unfit’ Parents\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not all issues will be resolved in the settlement, including the question of what happens to 30 children who will not be returned to parents whom the government deemed “unfit” or dangerous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one such case, “Ms. Q”, a mother from El Salvador, was separated from her 3-year-old son, “J”, at the border.

Many of their parents will also get that chance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The settlement, reached between the government and the American Civil Liberties Union, resolved three lawsuits challenging the separation of migrant families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The settlement is a remarkable piece of work, accomplished through a great deal of time and effort by the parties,” said U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw at a hearing in San Diego Thursday. “It’s not perfect, but we are dealing with a situation that is far from perfect.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agreement applies to children who were still in U.S. custody on June 26 — the date when Sabraw \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11677646/judge-bars-migrant-family-separations-orders-return-of-children-within-30-days\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ordered\u003c/a> the government to reunite the families. Parents of eligible children can also apply, but only if they are still in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We believe it will help hundreds, if not thousands, of families,” said ACLU attorney Lee Gelernt after the hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And of those, 2,458 children have already been discharged from the government’s care to a parent, relative or sponsor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judge Sabraw has set a status conference for Nov. 30 to get an update on the reunification process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘Unfit’ Parents\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not all issues will be resolved in the settlement, including the question of what happens to 30 children who will not be returned to parents whom the government deemed “unfit” or dangerous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one such case, “Ms. Q”, a mother from El Salvador, was separated from her 3-year-old son, “J”, at the border. She was sent to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention in Laredo, Texas. Her son was sent to a child care facility in Chicago. After three months the government informed Ms. Q she was “unfit” to be reunited with her son because the Salvadoran government had issued a warrant for her arrest on suspicion that she was affiliated with a gang.

And in a dry climate more heat equals more drying. Meaning: The hot dry air literally sucks the moisture out of the ground and out of vegetation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And it doesn’t take much,” says Jennifer Balch, a fire ecologist at the University of Colorado. “With just a little bit of drying you get a substantial increase in the amount of burning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, the number of large fires across the Western U.S. has increased five-fold since the 1970s, says Balch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-12-at-4.18.07-PM.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11705918\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-12-at-4.18.07-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"802\" height=\"558\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-12-at-4.18.07-PM.png 802w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-12-at-4.18.07-PM-160x111.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-12-at-4.18.07-PM-800x557.png 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 802px) 100vw, 802px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scientists say the warming climate has already caused a smaller snowpack in California’s mountains as well as a reduction in the amount of fog that rolls in off the Pacific Ocean. Both lead to drier vegetation, says Balch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Human carelessness has also contributed to increased fire activity in the West, says Balch, noting that 84 percent of wildfires in the U.S. in the past two decades have been started by people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’re also putting themselves more at risk, she says. “We … have more and more people moving, literally building homes, in the line of fire,” says Balch. “And today there are about 1.8 million homes at high fire risk across the Western U.S.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to wildfires becoming more frequent — California’s fire season is almost year-round now — scientists have also found that the fires are becoming bigger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s relentless, says Malcolm North, an ecologist with the U.S. Forest Service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In much of California we’re getting to a pretty much year-round fire season as in the past it used to be limited to five or six months out of the year,” says North.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dry weather and strong winds also mean that what would have been small fires in the past are now monster fires that both damage trees and climb up into the canopy and kill whole forests, says North. This is due in part to the fact that forest managers have spent the last century putting out every fire they could, even small, natural fires, he says, and the forests have became choked with too much overgrowth, making them ready to burn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, North says hurdles such as steep slopes, protected wildlife and complaints from homeowners about smoke limit how much federal and state mangers can thin or do controlled burns in forests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Literally probably 80 to 90 percent of these dry, mid-elevation forests are chock-full of fuels that really drives high intensity fire,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

And in a dry climate more heat equals more drying. Meaning: The hot dry air literally sucks the moisture out of the ground and out of vegetation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And it doesn’t take much,” says Jennifer Balch, a fire ecologist at the University of Colorado. “With just a little bit of drying you get a substantial increase in the amount of burning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, the number of large fires across the Western U.S. has increased five-fold since the 1970s, says Balch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-12-at-4.18.07-PM.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11705918\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-12-at-4.18.07-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"802\" height=\"558\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-12-at-4.18.07-PM.png 802w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-12-at-4.18.07-PM-160x111.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/Screen-Shot-2018-11-12-at-4.18.07-PM-800x557.png 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 802px) 100vw, 802px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scientists say the warming climate has already caused a smaller snowpack in California’s mountains as well as a reduction in the amount of fog that rolls in off the Pacific Ocean. Both lead to drier vegetation, says Balch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Human carelessness has also contributed to increased fire activity in the West, says Balch, noting that 84 percent of wildfires in the U.S. in the past two decades have been started by people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’re also putting themselves more at risk, she says. “We … have more and more people moving, literally building homes, in the line of fire,” says Balch. “And today there are about 1.8 million homes at high fire risk across the Western U.S.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to wildfires becoming more frequent — California’s fire season is almost year-round now — scientists have also found that the fires are becoming bigger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s relentless, says Malcolm North, an ecologist with the U.S. Forest Service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In much of California we’re getting to a pretty much year-round fire season as in the past it used to be limited to five or six months out of the year,” says North.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dry weather and strong winds also mean that what would have been small fires in the past are now monster fires that both damage trees and climb up into the canopy and kill whole forests, says North. This is due in part to the fact that forest managers have spent the last century putting out every fire they could, even small, natural fires, he says, and the forests have became choked with too much overgrowth, making them ready to burn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, North says hurdles such as steep slopes, protected wildlife and complaints from homeowners about smoke limit how much federal and state mangers can thin or do controlled burns in forests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Literally probably 80 to 90 percent of these dry, mid-elevation forests are chock-full of fuels that really drives high intensity fire,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

Those rules would be in place for at least three months but could be extended, and don't affect people already in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's announcement was the latest push to enforce a hard-line stance on immigration through regulatory changes and presidential orders, bypassing Congress, which has not passed any immigration law reform. But those efforts have been largely thwarted by legal challenges and, in the case of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/family-separation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">family separations\u003c/a> this year, stymied by a global outcry that prompted Trump to retreat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials said the asylum law changes are meant to funnel migrants through official border crossings for speedy rulings instead of having them try to circumvent such crossings on the nearly 2,000-mile border. Border Patrol agents in Yuma said they arrested nearly 450 migrants in Western Arizona this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the busy ports of entry already have long lines and waits, forcing immigration officials to tell some migrants to turn around and come back to make their claims. Even despite that, illegal crossings are historically low.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Backlogs have become especially bad in recent months at crossings in California, Arizona and Texas, with some people waiting five weeks to try to claim asylum at San Diego's main crossing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The arrival of large numbers ... will contribute to the overloading of our immigration and asylum system and to the release of thousands ... into the interior of the United States,\" Trump said in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/presidential-proclamation-addressing-mass-migration-southern-border-united-states/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">proclamation\u003c/a>, calling it a crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'The arrival of large numbers ... will contribute to the overloading of our immigration and asylum system and to the release of thousands ... into the interior of the United States.'\u003ccite>President Trump, in his proclamation\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Administration officials said those denied asylum under the new rules may be eligible for similar forms of protection if they fear returning to their countries, though they would be subject to a tougher threshold. Those forms of protection include \"withholding of removal\" — which is similar to asylum, but doesn't allow for green cards or bringing families into the U.S. too — or protection under the United Nations Convention Against Torture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homeland Security officials said they were adding staffing at the border crossings to manage the expected crush, but it's not clear how migrants, specifically families, would be held as their cases are adjudicated. Family detention centers are largely at capacity. Trump has said he wanted to erect \"tent cities,\" but nothing has been funded or decided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. is also working with Mexico in an effort to send some migrants back across the border. Right now, laws allow only Mexican nationals to be swiftly returned and increasingly those claiming asylum are from Central America, not Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump pushed immigration issues hard in the days leading up to Tuesday's midterm elections, railing against the caravans that are still hundreds of miles from the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He has made little mention of the issue since the election, but has sent troops to the border in response. As of Thursday, there were more than 5,600 U.S. troops deployed, with about 550 actually working on the border in Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also suggested he'd \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11702389/trump-says-he-will-void-birthright-citizenship-law-through-executive-order\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">revoke the right to citizenship for babies born to non-U.S. citizens on American soil\u003c/a> and erect massive \"tent cities\" to detain migrants. Those issues were not addressed by the proclamation. But Trump insisted the citizenship issue would be pushed through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're signing it. We're doing it,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration has long said immigration officials are drowning in asylum cases partly because people falsely claim asylum and then live in the U.S. with work permits. In 2017, the U.S. fielded 331,700 asylum claims, nearly double the number two years earlier and surpassing Germany as the highest in the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Migrants who cross illegally are generally arrested and often seek asylum or some other form of protection. Claims have spiked in recent years and the immigration court backlog has more than doubled to 1.1 million cases in about two years, according to Syracuse University's Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse. Generally, only about 20 percent of applicants are approved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's unclear how many people en route to the U.S. will even make it to the border. Roughly 5,000 migrants — more than 1,700 under the age of 18 — sheltered in a Mexico City sports complex decided to depart Friday for the northern city of Tijuana, opting for the longer but likely safer route to the U.S. border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similar caravans have gathered regularly over the years and have generally dwindled by the time they reach the southern border, particularly to Tijuana. Most have passed largely unnoticed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>___\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Associated Press writers Elliot Spagat in San Diego and Jill Colvin and Zeke Miller in Washington contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Those rules would be in place for at least three months but could be extended, and don't affect people already in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's announcement was the latest push to enforce a hard-line stance on immigration through regulatory changes and presidential orders, bypassing Congress, which has not passed any immigration law reform. But those efforts have been largely thwarted by legal challenges and, in the case of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/family-separation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">family separations\u003c/a> this year, stymied by a global outcry that prompted Trump to retreat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials said the asylum law changes are meant to funnel migrants through official border crossings for speedy rulings instead of having them try to circumvent such crossings on the nearly 2,000-mile border. Border Patrol agents in Yuma said they arrested nearly 450 migrants in Western Arizona this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the busy ports of entry already have long lines and waits, forcing immigration officials to tell some migrants to turn around and come back to make their claims. Even despite that, illegal crossings are historically low.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Backlogs have become especially bad in recent months at crossings in California, Arizona and Texas, with some people waiting five weeks to try to claim asylum at San Diego's main crossing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The arrival of large numbers ... will contribute to the overloading of our immigration and asylum system and to the release of thousands ... into the interior of the United States,\" Trump said in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/presidential-proclamation-addressing-mass-migration-southern-border-united-states/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">proclamation\u003c/a>, calling it a crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'The arrival of large numbers ... will contribute to the overloading of our immigration and asylum system and to the release of thousands ... into the interior of the United States.'\u003ccite>President Trump, in his proclamation\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Administration officials said those denied asylum under the new rules may be eligible for similar forms of protection if they fear returning to their countries, though they would be subject to a tougher threshold. Those forms of protection include \"withholding of removal\" — which is similar to asylum, but doesn't allow for green cards or bringing families into the U.S. too — or protection under the United Nations Convention Against Torture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homeland Security officials said they were adding staffing at the border crossings to manage the expected crush, but it's not clear how migrants, specifically families, would be held as their cases are adjudicated. Family detention centers are largely at capacity. Trump has said he wanted to erect \"tent cities,\" but nothing has been funded or decided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. is also working with Mexico in an effort to send some migrants back across the border. Right now, laws allow only Mexican nationals to be swiftly returned and increasingly those claiming asylum are from Central America, not Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump pushed immigration issues hard in the days leading up to Tuesday's midterm elections, railing against the caravans that are still hundreds of miles from the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He has made little mention of the issue since the election, but has sent troops to the border in response. As of Thursday, there were more than 5,600 U.S. troops deployed, with about 550 actually working on the border in Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also suggested he'd \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11702389/trump-says-he-will-void-birthright-citizenship-law-through-executive-order\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">revoke the right to citizenship for babies born to non-U.S. citizens on American soil\u003c/a> and erect massive \"tent cities\" to detain migrants. Those issues were not addressed by the proclamation. But Trump insisted the citizenship issue would be pushed through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're signing it. We're doing it,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration has long said immigration officials are drowning in asylum cases partly because people falsely claim asylum and then live in the U.S. with work permits. In 2017, the U.S. fielded 331,700 asylum claims, nearly double the number two years earlier and surpassing Germany as the highest in the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Migrants who cross illegally are generally arrested and often seek asylum or some other form of protection. Claims have spiked in recent years and the immigration court backlog has more than doubled to 1.1 million cases in about two years, according to Syracuse University's Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse. Generally, only about 20 percent of applicants are approved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's unclear how many people en route to the U.S. will even make it to the border. Roughly 5,000 migrants — more than 1,700 under the age of 18 — sheltered in a Mexico City sports complex decided to depart Friday for the northern city of Tijuana, opting for the longer but likely safer route to the U.S. border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similar caravans have gathered regularly over the years and have generally dwindled by the time they reach the southern border, particularly to Tijuana. Most have passed largely unnoticed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>___\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Associated Press writers Elliot Spagat in San Diego and Jill Colvin and Zeke Miller in Washington contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

At the moment, DACA is accepting renewals but not new applicants. If the program is ended, currently protected individuals could be deported, though it's not clear how quickly that might happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than a year ago, the Trump administration announced it was ending the program.

In a \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-files-notice-appeal-and-intends-petition-immediate-supreme-court-review\">statement\u003c/a>, the department called that a \"rare step.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Supreme Court denied that request. The court said it believed the lower court \"will proceed expeditiously to decide this case.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ten months later, the Justice Department says that isn't happening, arguing that without intervention from the Supreme Court now, \"there is little chance the Court would resolve this dispute for at least another year,\" the department argues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sticking point is a lawsuit filed by the Regents of the University of California, the university system's governing board.

Instead of providing a policy explanation for withdrawing DACA, the Trump administration claims that the program was always illegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Justice Department maintains that position and has vigorously defended the president's authority to end DACA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The last administration started DACA without a mandate or even an authorization from Congress or the courts; this administration can therefore end DACA at any time,\" Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a statement Monday. \"That is what we have done, and it was the lawful thing to do.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeffrey Davidson, an attorney representing the Regents of the University of California, said in a statement that the case should \"be reviewed in the ordinary course.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

There, they worked in the world’s most productive farm industry, in its vast sea of grape vines, fruit trees and multi-seasonal crops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But early that March morning, as the Garcias drove through town, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents closed in on their SUV.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attempting to evade agents, the undocumented couple sped down a country road.

And in Delano — where in 1965 the United Farm Workers first carved their place in history — anger and fear about what happened has added urgency and upped the stakes for the midterm election occurring tomorrow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This has been huge wake-up call for the Latino community,” said Yazmin Hernandez, 22, a graduate of Fresno State University who helps legal permanent-resident immigrants in Delano apply for citizenship. “As a child of farmworkers,” she said, “I really want to vote.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But do others agree? Hernandez and a lot of young Latinos like her — many motivated, some less so — could be pivotal to what happens in this grape-growing region with a disappointing history of voter turnout. That history explains why get-out-the-vote campaigns hoping to energize thousands of voters have been sweeping through California’s Central Valley in recent weeks, as labor groups and immigrant rights activists aim to send a message to President Donald J. Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the eye of the storm: the district’s congressman, U.S. Rep. David Valadao, a Republican who has defied the odds by being elected three times in a district where Democrats hold a registration advantage and Hillary Clinton was victorious just two years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Youth Get Involved\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>There’s no escaping Delano’s dramatic past. Not far from the roadside shrine commemorating the Garcias, the United Farm Workers’ original adobe headquarters, “Forty Acres,” is now a national historic landmark — something few would have imagined in the late 1960s here in Kern County. A bronze plaque and other markers explain Delano’s place in a chapter of American history that still rankles some conservatives and divides people here even today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took a five-year strike and a national boycott campaign for the UFW to obtain its first union contract in 1970 benefiting Mexican-American and Mexican and Filipino immigrant grape laborers. As door-to-door voter turnout campaigns tick up to Election Day, Forty Acres is a reminder that change can take root slowly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11703753\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11703753\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump3-800x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump3-800x300.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump3-160x60.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump3-1020x382.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump3-1200x450.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump3-1180x442.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump3-960x360.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump3-240x90.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump3-375x140.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump3-520x195.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump3.jpg 1260w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Delano is home to Forty Acres, now a national historic landmark.

Out of the 53 seats allotted to California in the House of Representatives, only 14 districts are held by Republicans in a state that’s been gradually turning deep blue for years now. Delano, 77 percent Latino, sits in one of the GOP pockets: the sprawling 21st Congressional District. The Almanac of American Politics says Valadao has won here against Democratic candidates “who have consistently under-performed initial expectations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stretching more than 150 miles northwest to southeast, the Valley district includes parts of Fresno, Kings, Tulare and Kern counties and a piece of the city of Bakersfield. The district is also home to a smattering of small cities, Naval Air Station Lemoore, a major fighter base, and mile after mile of crops and dairy farms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interest in midterm elections is usually tepid compared to presidential races. But it’s the age of Trump, and California is a state where Latinos, mostly Mexican-American, are now the single largest demographic.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">“As a child of farmworkers, I really want to vote.” \u003ccite>Yazmin Hernandez, 22 \u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Against this backdrop, Democrats hope that more door-to-door contact with “low-propensity” voters and “ticket splitters” will channel that anti-Trump sentiment into victories in at least a few GOP-held districts. If that happens, GOP California could shrink more and contribute to “flipping” the Republican-held U.S. House of Representatives to Democrats. But Valadao has not been alone in bucking the tide; neighboring conservative districts are held by House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11702053/the-nations-most-expensive-congressional-race-is-in-the-central-valley\"> rising conservative star Devin Nunes.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats would dearly love to do better here.

We don’t know if the next ICE pursuit will be for one our families,” said Bryan Osorio, 22, who grew up in Delano. He explained the personal stakes for so many here during a meeting at Delano’s sole Starbucks. The coffee shop wasn’t far from where workers, swaddled in scarfs to fend off dust, were gleaning the last of this area’s gargantuan crop of table grapes to ship back East.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11703756\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11703756\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump4-800x534.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump4-800x534.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump4-160x107.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump4-240x160.jpeg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump4-375x250.jpeg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump4-520x347.jpeg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump4.jpeg 940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bryan Osorio, 22, of Delano, talks to an 80-year-old Delano voter.

It showcased Trump signing a memo accelerating biological reviews of water systems that Central Valley farmers — and workers — hope will divert more water from California rivers bearing endangered species. Trump’s move was met here with strong approval, and there was Valadao by his side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to its tight bond with agribusiness, the valley is also one of California’s most culturally conservative regions. Evangelical churches are prominent, along with conservative talk radio in English and Spanish. Some local Latino activists suggest that Valadao has benefited at the polls because some voters think he is of Mexican heritage. In reality, Valadao is of Portuguese descent, as is Nunes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, what gives Democrats hope for this election?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president’s lacerating rhetoric about Mexican immigrants has upset a lot of people, so even if they regard Valadao as moderate, Trump has further tarnished the Republican brand in California.

But even though Democrats in the 21st had an estimated 16-point registration advantage over Republicans, voters returned Valadao to Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">“We share a history as the children of immigrant parents.

A bank seized Valadao’s family farm in June due to $8 million in unpaid loans, a crisis Valadao said exemplifies the travails of farmers he serves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A mild-mannered man, he recently posed in Arizona with President Trump, along with Nunes and McCarthy of Bakersfield, who hopes to vault from GOP majority leader to Speaker of the House if the GOP retains control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The photo op on Oct. 19 was all about irrigation water — a massive issue here. It showcased Trump signing a memo accelerating biological reviews of water systems that Central Valley farmers — and workers — hope will divert more water from California rivers bearing endangered species. Trump’s move was met here with strong approval, and there was Valadao by his side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to its tight bond with agribusiness, the valley is also one of California’s most culturally conservative regions. Evangelical churches are prominent, along with conservative talk radio in English and Spanish. Some local Latino activists suggest that Valadao has benefited at the polls because some voters think he is of Mexican heritage. In reality, Valadao is of Portuguese descent, as is Nunes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, what gives Democrats hope for this election?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president’s lacerating rhetoric about Mexican immigrants has upset a lot of people, so even if they regard Valadao as moderate, Trump has further tarnished the Republican brand in California. About 62 percent of the 21st district’s residents who are eligible to register to vote are Latino.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These immigrants risk their lives to work here,” said Mexican-American Erica Cruz, 48, a self-employed hairdresser whose husband used to be undocumented. “Latinos are getting picked on. This town thrives on Latinos…Trump is putting us in a terrible position and we’re scared.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s irksome to Cruz because it’s plain to her that the region’s agribusiness industry — America’s farm powerhouse — has benefited from people who shoulder all the risks that come with undocumented immigration. Workers have assumed the burden of paying smugglers thousands of dollars to get them over the border, so they can take back-breaking jobs they obtain by showing fake documents that employers have no obligation to authenticate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, it’s common for there to be no bright line between documented and undocumented in towns like Delano because there are many “mixed status” families, with some members citizens, others legal residents and still others who are undocumented, “sin papales,” without papers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11703757\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11703757\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump5-800x534.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump5-800x534.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump5-160x107.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/trump5.jpeg 940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Immigrant workers are the backbone of agribusiness in California’s 21st Congressional District and other GOP-held districts in the Central Valley.

The woman pointed at her. “And then she said these words as loud as she could: ‘Trump is coming for you, Betty,’ and then they just sped away,” said Valencia, who took her words to mean deportation. “I think she was very much insinuating that I would go back to my country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigrants like Valencia are among a wave of newcomers running for political office in 2018, hoping to infuse new representation into every level of government, from city council to Congress. While they’re facing challenges common to first-timers, they’re also encountering hurdles due to their immigrant backgrounds -- now more so than ever with a charged national debate around immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘Showing Up for Ourselves’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More and more immigrant candidates are seeking political office, said Sayu Bhojwani, founder and president of \u003ca href=\"https://www.newamericanleaders.org/what-we-do/\">New American Leaders (NAL\u003c/a>), a nonpartisan group that trains naturalized citizens and people of color how to campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least 100 first-generation immigrants are on the ballot in 2018, and many others on it are second- and third-generation immigrants of color, NAL estimated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One thing that we've seen very clearly post-2016 is there's an incredible amount of energy in terms of running for office,” she said. “There's more boldness and more determination on the part of newcomer candidates.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While not the only factor in their decision to run, “the Trump administration's policies and rhetoric have been a big motivator for candidates,” Bhojwani said. “Running for office has definitely become one element of the resistance movement among immigrant leaders.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bhojwani started the group in 2010 shortly after Arizona passed its controversial \"Show me your papers\" law or (SB1070). She had the idea for NAL before then as immigration reform continued to fail in Congress and a growing number of anti-immigrant bills moved through statehouses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I felt it was important we were showing up for ourselves to be the policymakers that we needed because we kept working on behalf of other candidates who were ostensibly allies but were not actually getting the job done,” she said, noting that the group’s aim was to build a pipeline of candidates “that reflect, that look like America.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twenty-eight of the group’s alums ran in 2016, with 68 percent winning; 54 of their graduates are running in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many immigrants are seeking office in California, like Republican Cristina Osmeña, who is challenging House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi for her San Francisco seat, and Farrah Khan who is vying for a seat on the Irvine City Council.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Barriers to Running\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For NAL’s participants, the three most common barriers to running for office are: markers of immigrant identity (like race, religion, legal status, appearance), a lack of money or financial network, and no political experience or knowledge, Bhojwani said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the group tells would-be candidates they have what it takes. And they stress the value of their backgrounds: “That the immigrant experience is an asset rather than a deficit,” she said. “The immigrant narrative as part of the American story is a critical underpinning of our training.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s the case for Young Kim, a South Korean immigrant who came to California via Guam and Hawaii. A Republican running for the (mostly) Orange County congressional seat now held by retiring GOP Rep. Ed Royce. She already served in the State Assembly and if Kim wins this time, she will become the first Korean-American woman elected to Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kim said she \u003cem>wants\u003c/em> people to know she is an immigrant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a very diverse district, which I think I understand having come from all different areas,” she said. “I know how hard it is to adjust and assimilate into a new country ... I can bring all of those different perspectives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, she said, her immigration policy would be shaped around what her constituents want.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of people will say because Young Kim is a Republican that I will go automatically with our Republican leadership or (what our) platform says,” she said “I am running as my own person because my district needs a representative who understands what our needs are.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11703639\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11703639\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/youngkim-qut-800x512.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/youngkim-qut-800x512.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/youngkim-qut-160x102.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/youngkim-qut-1020x652.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/youngkim-qut-1200x768.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/youngkim-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Republican candidate for US Congress Young Kim, 55, (R) takes a selfie with a supporter outside her campaign office in Yorba Linda, California, October 6, 2018.

In her first run, those attacks were made in mailers. This time, they’ve moved onto social media, said Khan, 46, executive director of a nonprofit and interfaith council.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You're running for local office and it's something that you care about ... your neighborhoods, your neighbors,” said Khan, who is Muslim and a mother of four kids. “Race and religion has no place here. ... And so when they bring this into the picture it makes you kind of think twice like, ‘Is that really how some people see you?’ Before they even get to know you, are you already judged by the way you look or by the name that you have?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another immigrant candidate in Southern California has come under similar attacks: Democrat Ammar Campa-Najjar who is challenging Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter.

That’s when the council passed a resolution saying it would seek to block enforcement of SB54 -- California’s sanctuary law -- pending a lawsuit brought by the federal government challenging it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At that moment, Valencia looked at the councilmembers and thought: \"You are in my seat.\" “There’s no one in city council that looks like me,” said Valencia, who also identifies as a lesbian Latina.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I realized that unless someone like me -- with my perspective, my experience, my background -- was sitting there, that the population we have in the city of Orange -- which we have a high population of immigrants -- would not have a voice, would not have protection or would not even be counted,” said Valencia. “I wanted to make sure that at least I could use my voice to help others not feel the way I felt.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Jaya Badiga, a 44-year-old immigrant from India and naturalized citizen running for Folsom Cordova Unified School District near Sacramento, representation is a driving factor, too. But she’s shied away from saying that’s why people should vote for her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These days, with everything on the national forefront, I don't want the narrative to be a school board member wants to be known for her cultural heritage. And, because there is a growing body of Indian American or cultural ethnically Indian or South Asian students, therefore we should vote for her,” said Badiga, 44. “But that is a huge part of my identity. So there has been talk in the community from some members on the board that they're glad to see representation from the community. And I reciprocate that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11703640\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11703640\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/JB-Backpack-drive-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/JB-Backpack-drive-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/JB-Backpack-drive-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/JB-Backpack-drive-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/JB-Backpack-drive-qut-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/JB-Backpack-drive-qut-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/JB-Backpack-drive-qut-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/JB-Backpack-drive-qut-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/JB-Backpack-drive-qut-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/JB-Backpack-drive-qut-520x390.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/JB-Backpack-drive-qut.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jaya Badiga, center in white shirt, with supporters.
