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.",

"headTitle": "The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>House Speaker Paul Ryan pushed back on Tuesday on President Trump's claim that he can strip birthright citizenship from the U.S. via executive order, saying such a move would be \"unconstitutional.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Well, you obviously cannot do that,\" Ryan told \u003ca href=\"http://www.wvlkam.com/\">radio station WVLK\u003c/a> in Kentucky. \"You cannot end birthright citizenship with an executive order.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ryan noted any changes to a constitutional amendment require an act of Congress, adding: \"We didn't like it when Obama tried changing immigration laws via executive action, and obviously as conservatives we believe in the Constitution. ... I'm a believer in following the plain text of the Constitution and I think in this case the 14th Amendment is pretty clear, and that would involve a very, very lengthy constitutional process.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump announced his plan to circumvent Congress to revoke the 150-year-old birthright law \u003ca href=\"https://www.axios.com/trump-birthright-citizenship-executive-order-0cf4285a-16c6-48f2-a933-bd71fd72ea82.html\">in an interview\u003c/a> with \u003cem>Axios on HBO\u003c/em> that is slated to air Sunday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was always told to me that you needed a constitutional amendment. Guess what? You don't,\" Trump said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0d21nQBY8o\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The potential move, which would very likely trigger numerous legal challenges, would seek to end the conferring of citizenship on all children born in the U.S. — which is currently guaranteed by the \u003ca href=\"http://constitutioncenter.org/constitution/the-amendments/amendment-14-citizenship-rights\">14th Amendment \u003c/a>— including children of noncitizen parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first sentence of the amendment reads: \"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The concept is based on \u003cem>jus soli\u003c/em> — \"right of the soil\" — meaning that children born in the U.S. have a claim to citizenship, even if their parents lack legal documentation to be in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has mentioned the idea of voiding the amendment before, most notably \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/itsallpolitics/2015/08/22/433621593/will-gops-efforts-to-reach-out-to-hispanics-survive-these-primaries\">in August 2015\u003c/a>, when the birthright issue became part of his hard-line policies on immigration as a presidential candidate. Now Trump is discussing the birthright citizenship law roughly one week before U.S. voters will head to the polls for the 2018 midterm election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to guaranteeing citizenship by birth in the U.S., the 14th Amendment bars states from denying essential rights without due process. As \u003ca href=\"https://www.loc.gov/rr/program/bib/ourdocs/14thamendment.html\">the Library of Congress notes\u003c/a>, the amendment \"greatly expanded the protection of civil rights to all Americans and is cited in more litigation than any other amendment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The amendment's final section notes that it is Congress — not the president — who has the power \"to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11702387/bay-area-law-professors-call-trumps-plan-to-end-birthright-citizenship-ludicrous\">Bay Area Law Professors Call Trump's Plan to End Birthright Citizenship 'Ludicrous'\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11702387/bay-area-law-professors-call-trumps-plan-to-end-birthright-citizenship-ludicrous\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/Trump-1180x839.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The 14th Amendment became law in 1868, as a rebuke to the Supreme Court's \u003cem>Dred Scott\u003c/em> decision, which had held that freed slaves were not U.S. citizens. Since then, its meaning and reach have been debated in courtrooms and in American society, with many questions centering on the phrase \"the jurisdiction thereof.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That means that they are subject to the laws of the United States, that they can, for example, be prosecuted for violating American law,\" constitutional law professor Suzanna Sherry \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2015/08/19/432910305/trump-immigration-plan-raises-legal-questions-about-birthright-citizenship\">told NPR in 2015\u003c/a>. The law excludes, for instance, the children of foreign diplomats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 1860s, it was intended both to grant citizenship to freed slaves and to give peace of mind to immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Sherry, who teaches at Vanderbilt University, told NPR in 2015, \"the United States had experienced quite a bit of immigration, and immigration was viewed as a very good thing. And so this was essentially putting out a welcome mat to immigrants by ensuring that their children born here would be citizens.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To change the law, Sherry said, you would need to either amend the 14th Amendment through Congress or ask the Supreme Court to overturn its earlier interpretation of the law and limit its benefit to people who are in the U.S. legally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While many legal scholars agree, the president says he has the power to act on his own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You can definitely do it with an act of Congress,\" Trump said in the \u003cem>Axios on HBO\u003c/em> interview. \"But now they're saying I can do it just with an executive order.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added, \"We're the only country in the world where a person comes in, has a baby, and the baby is essentially a citizen of the United States for 85 years, with all of those benefits. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous, and it has to end.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But birthright citizenship is the law of at least 30 countries, including many U.S. neighbors in North and South America. All of the countries in Europe grant automatic citizenship by \u003cem>jus sanguinis — \u003c/em>by \"right of blood.\" Some, like France, also offer a path to children of immigrants to acquire citizenship at age 18.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president said he has spoken about the birthright issue with the White House counsel. As for when he might act, Trump said, \"It's in the process. It'll happen — with an executive order.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Responding to the president's words, Mark Krikorian, the executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, predicted, \"This will set up the court fight.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CIS identifies itself as a nonpartisan think tank, but it has consistently called for tougher U.S. immigration policies, and the Southern Poverty Law Center \u003ca href=\"https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/center-immigration-studies\">has designated it a hate group\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Trump moves ahead with his plan, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/MarkSKrikorian/status/1057241560616747009\">Krikorian said via Twitter\u003c/a>, \"the order will be enjoined, case will eventually reach SCOTUS, which then will finally have to rule on the meaning of 'subject to the jurisdiction.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/662043904/662102093\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics of birthright citizenship have said it encourages pregnant women who want to immigrate to travel to the U.S. to have their babies, hoping to gain citizenship for their children and, they say, potentially easing their own path to becoming U.S. citizens. But immigration advocates say those concerns are overblown — part of a campaign to stir up voters in an election season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While it's difficult to track the exact number of children whose parents are in the U.S. illegally, \u003ca href=\"http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/11/17/children-of-unauthorized-immigrants-represent-rising-share-of-k-12-students/\">the Pew Research Center has reported\u003c/a> that in 2014, 3.2 million children — nearly 6 percent of all K-12 students in the U.S. — had at least one unauthorized immigrant parent and were citizens because they were born in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Trump were able to somehow roll back part of the 14th Amendment, the policy shift would not reduce the number of undocumented immigrants in the U.S., according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.migrationpolicy.org/news/repealing-birthright-citizenship-unintended-consequences\">the Migration Policy Institute\u003c/a>. In fact, it could do the opposite: When the group did a study projecting the effects of a potential repeal of birthright citizenship in 2015, it found that such a change would add millions of people to America's undocumented population within a few decades, essentially creating a new underclass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And besides, MPI's Michael Fix wrote when that study was published, \"Birthright citizenship is not what drives illegal immigration. Surveys have found that people come for jobs and to better their lives.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Krikorian of the CIS said an executive order on the issue is \"long overdue.\" But Trump's idea to revoke birthright citizenship is \"ill-timed\" and misguided, says Kristen Clarke, the executive director of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Aside from being unconstitutional, such an executive order would exacerbate racial tensions, exploit fears and drive further polarization across the country at a moment that calls for the promotion of unity and inclusion,\" Clarke said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jess Morales Rocketto, whose Families Belong Together group has fought the\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>Trump administration's family separation policy along the U.S.-Mexico border, was more blunt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is ethnic cleansing,\" Rocketto said. \"This is an attempt to white-out America's history and heritage as a nation of immigrants. And it's unconstitutional.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

In fact, it could do the opposite: When the group did a study projecting the effects of a potential repeal of birthright citizenship in 2015, it found that such a change would add millions of people to America's undocumented population within a few decades, essentially creating a new underclass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And besides, MPI's Michael Fix wrote when that study was published, \"Birthright citizenship is not what drives illegal immigration.

About 600 migrants in the second group tried to cross a bridge from Guatemala to Mexico en masse on Monday, but were met by ranks of Mexican federal police who blocked them from entering. The riverbank standoff followed a more violent confrontation Sunday when the migrants used sticks and rocks against Mexico police. One migrant was killed Sunday night by a head wound, but the cause was unclear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first group passed through the spot via the river — wading or on rafts — and was advancing through southern Mexico. That group appeared to begin as a collection of about 160 who decided to band together in Honduras for protection against the gangs who prey on migrants traveling alone and snowballed as the group moved north. They are mostly from Honduras, where it started, as well as El Salvador and Guatemala.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, they are poor, carrying belongings that fit into a knapsack and fleeing gang violence or poverty.

About 600 migrants in the second group tried to cross a bridge from Guatemala to Mexico en masse on Monday, but were met by ranks of Mexican federal police who blocked them from entering. The riverbank standoff followed a more violent confrontation Sunday when the migrants used sticks and rocks against Mexico police. One migrant was killed Sunday night by a head wound, but the cause was unclear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first group passed through the spot via the river — wading or on rafts — and was advancing through southern Mexico. That group appeared to begin as a collection of about 160 who decided to band together in Honduras for protection against the gangs who prey on migrants traveling alone and snowballed as the group moved north. They are mostly from Honduras, where it started, as well as El Salvador and Guatemala.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, they are poor, carrying belongings that fit into a knapsack and fleeing gang violence or poverty.

We cannot let it happen.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, Trump was asked about the apparent support for him expressed by the suspect on social media and on his van, which bears an illustration that appeared to depict Trump standing on a tank holding a rifle before an American flag with fireworks exploding in the background.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Did you see your face on that van, sir?\" Trump was asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I did not,\" the president said. \"I did not see my face on the van.

Kamala Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris was mentioned in the criminal complaint as a target known to federal investigators; Steyer was not. It wasn't clear whether the parcel he addressed in his statement might be connected to this case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At this moment, it is incumbent upon leaders across the political spectrum to take seriously the power they hold,\" said Sen. Harris in a statement in which she also praised law enforcement officials' efforts to investigate the packages. \"It is the responsibility of our leaders to use their role as public figures to elevate our discourse and bring people together.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NextGen America, a San Francisco-based political action committee founded by Steyer, said in a statement that the suspicious package mailed to Steyer was intercepted at a facility in Burlingame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are seeing a systematic attack on our democracy and our rule of law that extends much further than just one isolated terrorist in Florida,\" said Steyer. \"Whether it's voter suppression, voter intimidation, attacks on our free press, gerrymandering or attempted violence — the trust and norms that are the actual basis for our civil society and political system are being eroded.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier, a package was discovered in Florida addressed to Sen.

On Sunday the paper said that the Dept. of Health and Human Services wants to establish a definition of a person's gender, one that is determined “on a biological basis that is clear, grounded in science, objective and administrable,” as the paper quoted an HHS memo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sex means a person’s status as male or female based on immutable biological traits identifiable by or before birth,” the memo said. “The sex listed on a person’s birth certificate, as originally issued, shall constitute definitive proof of a person’s sex unless rebutted by reliable genetic evidence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, your genitals at birth determine your gender. End of discussion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The move aims to reverse civil rights protections granted to transgender people under the Obama administration, the Times said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it would also appear to create an official position by the United States government that transgender people simply don't, well, exist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that is going to be news to the roughly \u003ca href=\"http://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/How-Many-Adults-Identify-as-Transgender-in-the-United-States.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1.4 million transgender individuals\u003c/a> in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The American Psychological Association wasted no time in issuing a response to the report. On Monday, it said in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2018/10/erase-transgender-definition.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For decades, researchers have recognized that gender is not necessarily determined by a person’s biological sex assigned at birth, which can be physiologically uncertain in some cases. Purposely ignoring this body of evidence is indefensible and certain to add to the stress and discrimination already experienced by transgender people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Stephen Rosenthal, a pediatric endocrinologist and the medical director of UCSF's Child and Adolescent Gender Center, agrees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\"A\u003cspan class=\"s1\"> typical transgender person has genitalia that are not in any way obviously abnormal,\" he said. \"And not in any way a clue that that person is going to end up transgender.\"\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Genitalia, he said, does not always predict gender identity, and other physical characteristics most likely contribute to people's fundamental sense of whether they are male, female or some variant. Rosenthal cited a number of studies showing \u003cspan class=\"s1\">certain parts of the brain, shaped differently in men and women, that are more closely aligned with the gender identity of transgender individuals than with their natal sex. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other research suggests that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/futureofyou/the-biological-roots-of-gender-identity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">genetic and endocrinological differences \u003c/a>in transgender people play a role in forming a gender identity that is different than their external sexual characteristics might indicate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The HHS memo's proposition that genetic testing would clear up any dispute around a person's gender is also wrongheaded, said Rosenthal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A\u003cspan class=\"s1\">nyone, even high school students, know that there are plenty of examples of women with female bodies, female genitalia, let's say, and an unequivocal female gender identity, who happen to have XY chromosomes,\" he said, referring to the chromosomal pair typically found in males.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The HHS memo would also seem to ignore intersex people — those individuals born with a mix of physical characteristics typically found in only males or females.

On Sunday the paper said that the Dept. of Health and Human Services wants to establish a definition of a person's gender, one that is determined “on a biological basis that is clear, grounded in science, objective and administrable,” as the paper quoted an HHS memo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sex means a person’s status as male or female based on immutable biological traits identifiable by or before birth,” the memo said. “The sex listed on a person’s birth certificate, as originally issued, shall constitute definitive proof of a person’s sex unless rebutted by reliable genetic evidence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, your genitals at birth determine your gender. End of discussion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The move aims to reverse civil rights protections granted to transgender people under the Obama administration, the Times said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it would also appear to create an official position by the United States government that transgender people simply don't, well, exist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that is going to be news to the roughly \u003ca href=\"http://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/How-Many-Adults-Identify-as-Transgender-in-the-United-States.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1.4 million transgender individuals\u003c/a> in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The American Psychological Association wasted no time in issuing a response to the report. On Monday, it said in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2018/10/erase-transgender-definition.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For decades, researchers have recognized that gender is not necessarily determined by a person’s biological sex assigned at birth, which can be physiologically uncertain in some cases. Purposely ignoring this body of evidence is indefensible and certain to add to the stress and discrimination already experienced by transgender people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Stephen Rosenthal, a pediatric endocrinologist and the medical director of UCSF's Child and Adolescent Gender Center, agrees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\"A\u003cspan class=\"s1\"> typical transgender person has genitalia that are not in any way obviously abnormal,\" he said. \"And not in any way a clue that that person is going to end up transgender.\"\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Genitalia, he said, does not always predict gender identity, and other physical characteristics most likely contribute to people's fundamental sense of whether they are male, female or some variant. Rosenthal cited a number of studies showing \u003cspan class=\"s1\">certain parts of the brain, shaped differently in men and women, that are more closely aligned with the gender identity of transgender individuals than with their natal sex. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other research suggests that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/futureofyou/the-biological-roots-of-gender-identity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">genetic and endocrinological differences \u003c/a>in transgender people play a role in forming a gender identity that is different than their external sexual characteristics might indicate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The HHS memo's proposition that genetic testing would clear up any dispute around a person's gender is also wrongheaded, said Rosenthal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A\u003cspan class=\"s1\">nyone, even high school students, know that there are plenty of examples of women with female bodies, female genitalia, let's say, and an unequivocal female gender identity, who happen to have XY chromosomes,\" he said, referring to the chromosomal pair typically found in males.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The HHS memo would also seem to ignore intersex people — those individuals born with a mix of physical characteristics typically found in only males or females. A \u003ca href=\"http://www.academia.edu/21132481/How_sexually_dimorphic_are_we_Review_and_synthesis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2000 review\u003c/a> of the scientific literature by Brown University researchers looked at these deviations from the norm in people born from 1955 on.

The State Department says the money, which is spent in collaboration with programs run by the three countries, aims to \u003ca href=\"https://www.state.gov/p/wha/rt/strat/\">promote economic growth, step up security and strengthen the rule of law\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Honduras alone, agricultural investments by the U.S. Agency for International Development “have helped lift 68,000 people out of extreme poverty,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.usglc.org/faq-violence-migration-and-u-s-assistance-to-central-america/\">according to\u003c/a> the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition, a group advocating for stronger international assistance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Trump has been skeptical of the value of this aid, which he \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/19/trump-cut-foreign-aid-to-countries-sending-not-their-best-people.html\">has often used\u003c/a> as a \u003ca href=\"https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-42431095\">point of leverage\u003c/a> against certain countries. He specifically called out Honduras and \u003ca href=\"https://www.texastribune.org/2018/04/03/trump-says-hell-send-military-guard-us-mexico-border-threatens-foreign/\">threatened\u003c/a> the country during the approach of a similar caravan earlier this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11700364\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11700364\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/migrant-caravan-5_slide-9ba307b23d153af900f0e936dc4ac99cec9e8b3b-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Migrant families cross into Mexico using a raft to avoid the Mexican officials perched on the bridge above the Suchiate River.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Migrant families cross into Mexico using a raft to avoid the Mexican officials perched on the bridge above the Suchiate River. \u003ccite>(John Moore/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Last year, he also \u003ca href=\"https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-42431095\">threatened to cut foreign aid\u003c/a> to United Nations member states that voted to condemn the U.S. for moving its embassy in Israel to the disputed city of Jerusalem.

The BBC \u003ca href=\"https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-42557818\">reported earlier this year\u003c/a> that because Congress controls federal spending, it gets the final say on matters of foreign aid — though the president does have some leeway, depending on the program:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Congress can approve or alter the administration’s budgetary proposals and can also specify in substantial detail where it wants the aid to go – even if that’s in opposition to what the president wants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“However, in situations where Congress has not gone into specifics, an administration has a considerable amount of flexibility about how exactly it spends the allocated budget – although it has to notify Congress of its intentions.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>An official at the U.S. Agency for International Development, when contacted by NPR, deferred to the White House when asked for further information. “The president has made clear that countries receiving assistance from the United States should support our interests,” the official said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the migrants themselves, however, such threats are secondary to more pressing matters — namely, the violence they’re fleeing and the hunger they’re suffering on the road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11700366\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11700366\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/migrant-caravan-8_slide-e298cd91150b0e5461d045079063230dcac7d5ad-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Members of a migrant caravan carry their children on the walk deeper into Mexico after crossing the Guatemalan border Sunday.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Members of a migrant caravan carry their children on the walk deeper into Mexico after crossing the Guatemalan border Sunday. \u003ccite>(John Moore/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“The kids are enduring heat.

The State Department says the money, which is spent in collaboration with programs run by the three countries, aims to \u003ca href=\"https://www.state.gov/p/wha/rt/strat/\">promote economic growth, step up security and strengthen the rule of law\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Honduras alone, agricultural investments by the U.S. Agency for International Development “have helped lift 68,000 people out of extreme poverty,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.usglc.org/faq-violence-migration-and-u-s-assistance-to-central-america/\">according to\u003c/a> the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition, a group advocating for stronger international assistance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Trump has been skeptical of the value of this aid, which he \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/19/trump-cut-foreign-aid-to-countries-sending-not-their-best-people.html\">has often used\u003c/a> as a \u003ca href=\"https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-42431095\">point of leverage\u003c/a> against certain countries.

Any dispute about one’s sex would have to be clarified using genetic testing.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\"None of us were surprised by that memo,\" said Cecilia Chung, co-director of programs and policy with the Oakland-based Transgender Law Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's the latest move by the Trump administration to limit or repeal protections and rights for transgender people.
