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.",

California Guard members may be deployed at the border, the coast and elsewhere statewide. They would join 250 existing California National Guard troops, including 55 who are at the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown said the California troops will not help build a wall or \"detain people escaping violence and seeking a better life.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal government must agree to the terms before the troops would be deployed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump wants up to 4,000 troops sent to the border to combat illegal immigration and drug trafficking.

Greg Abbott has pledged to put more than 1,000 Guard members into action, military officials said Tuesday that 300 troops would report to armories this week for preparation and training. Texas has previously kept about 100 Guard members stationed on the border for years as part of its own border security efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What is different now, it is happening in a different context and a different narrative,\" said Fernando Garcia, director of the Border Network for Human Rights, an immigrant advocacy group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking from the Rio Grande Valley where immigrant crossings are the highest along the 2,000-mile (3,200-kilometer) U.S.-Mexico border, Garcia said, \"When you hear the narrative of the president, it seems to him the enemy is the immigrant family.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abbott said in a statement Tuesday that the Guard has \"proven to have a meaningful impact\" in reducing immigration and crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Texas border town of Roma, about a half-dozen uniformed Guard members were seen Tuesday near an international bridge along the Rio Grande. Children played just across the river in Mexico, and it wasn't clear whether the Guard members were new or part of Texas' earlier observe-and-report missions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One Guard member was armed with an M4 rifle and used binoculars to peer across the river. Pickup trucks with Guard members inside circled the town square along with border patrol vehicles.

The Border Patrol, which polices between but not at official crossings, made more than 37,000 of those arrests, including more than 14,000 in Texas' Rio Grande Valley, nearly 6,000 in its Tucson, Arizona, sector and more than 4,000 in San Diego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inspectors at official crossings made nearly 13,000 arrests in March, led by the Laredo, Texas, field office with more than 4,800 and the San Diego field office with about 3,800.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apprehensions are still well below their historical trends during the terms of former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, both of whom also deployed the Guard to the border. California deployed troops to the border under both Bush and Obama.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some Guard members will be armed if they are placed in potential danger, Abbott said, adding he wanted to downplay speculation that \"our National Guard is showing up with military bayonets trying to take on anybody that's coming across the border, because that is not their role.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is no end date for the deployment, Abbott said: \"We may be in this for the long haul.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has said he wants to use the military at the border until progress is made on his proposed border wall, which has mostly stalled in Congress. Defense Secretary James Mattis last Friday approved paying for up to 4,000 National Guard personnel from the Pentagon budget through the end of September.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mexico's foreign relations secretary said his government is evaluating its cooperation with the United States.\u003c/p>\n\n",

"content": "\u003cp>Unlike the Republican governors of Arizona, New Mexico and Texas who agreed, Gov. Jerry Brown isn’t saying whether California National Guard troops will be sent to the Mexican border as \u003ca href=\"https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/watch-trump-says-he-wants-military-to-secure-border-with-mexico\">President Trump is asking\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s request isn’t that unusual. Presidents George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush and Barack Obama also asked for troops to beef up border security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ev Meade, director of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sandiego.edu/peace/institutes/tbi/\">Trans-Border Institute at the University of San Diego\u003c/a>, said Trump is different in that the rhetoric he has used around the request suggests there’s an element of political theater involved. And he said that puts Brown in a tough spot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The real ask may be fairly reasonable but if it’s done for unreasonable purposes, or just different purposes, then he may feel very uncomfortable about acceding to that order,\" Meade said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not to mention the Trump administration is \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11654355/gov-brown-calls-sessions-lawsuit-part-of-a-reign-of-terror\">currently suing California\u003c/a> over its immigration policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far Brown has been mum, referring all questions to the National Guard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, Lt. Col. Tom Keegan said the Guard needs some more information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This request -- as with others we've received from the Department of Homeland Security, including those for additional staffing in 2006 and 2010 -- will be promptly reviewed to determine how best we can assist our federal partners. We look forward to more detail, including funding, duration and end state,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wouldn’t be unprecedented for the governor to reject Trump’s request. In 2006, then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/la-me-guard24jun24-story.html\">declined to send\u003c/a> an additional 1,500 troops on top of the 1,000 he’d already agreed to send to the border at President George W. Bush’s request.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Brown ultimately does agree to send troops, it could take awhile. According to the California National Guard, in 2006, there were 77 days between when the president made his request and when troops were at full operational capability and deployment. In 2010, troops were fully deployed 58 days after the request was made.\u003c/p>\n\n",

"content": "\u003cp>California Gov. Jerry Brown has been silent on President Donald Trump's call this week for National Guard troops to help protect the southern border with Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That contrasts with the Democratic governor's quick response when Trump's administration recently sued over the deep blue state's immigration policy days before the president journeyed to San Diego to view his border wall prototypes earlier this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was just the latest jousting in the escalating feud between the Trump administration and California, which has resisted the president at almost every turn on issues from marijuana policy to climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some of the questions and answers on relations between the Trump administration and California:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What does Trump want from California? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president wants to send 2,000 to 4,000 National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico border to help federal authorities combat illegal immigration and drug trafficking. It isn't clear how many he would seek from California. They would provide support but not go on patrols or make arrests. Republican governors in the other border states of Arizona, New Mexico and Texas backed the deployment. Even Iowa's Republican governor offered to send National Guard troops from the Midwest. Democratic governors in Oregon and Montana have said they wouldn't send troops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Guard already has 55 employees helping fight drug trafficking, surveillance in the San Diego Harbor, repairing fences, roads and culverts and analyzing criminal activity in cooperation with state and federal law enforcement agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How had Gov. Brown responded?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown has personally spoken with U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and other federal officials, but he hasn't publicly commented or made a decision. His office has instead referred questions to a spokesman for the California National Guard, which has said it needs more details.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's in contrast to Brown's sharp response last month when U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions sued to block three California laws to protect immigrants who are in the country illegally, which Brown called \"a political stunt.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Guard says it can't respond until it has more information, including who would pay for the deployment, how long it would last and what it is expected to accomplish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown's decision might depend on the mission: would California troops be fighting international drug smugglers, or helping block immigrants from crossing the border?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why is Gov. Brown keeping his powder dry?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He may just be weighing the state's policy and waiting for those answers, says Claremont McKenna College political science professor Jack Pitney. \"Trump's plan is pretty vague. It's possible at the end that Trump's request is somewhat reasonable,\" Pitney says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In contrast to his 1970s persona as an eccentric, Jerry Brown is actually a pretty cautious warrior and he's probably just weighing the policy merits of this move.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Are there political considerations?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, on both sides, says San Jose State University political science professor says Larry Gerston. Trump is appealing to his conservative base, he says, not only on immigration but on issues as broad as gay rights and automobile emissions, all touchstones for California's liberal majority. \"The list goes on and on and on and so the governor from his perspective has to ask himself 'Why? Why should I be interested in cooperating when I'm getting nothing back from the federal government,'\" he said. \"So I do think that policy and politics come together here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What does the White House say? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders says the administration will \"absolutely\" move forward with other border states if California balks at providing National Guard troops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're working with states' governors right now to go through this process and we hope to have National Guard on the ground as soon as possible,\" she said Friday. \"And we're going to continue to work with California and we're hopeful that they'll do the right thing and help protect our borders.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

It isn't clear how many he would seek from California. They would provide support but not go on patrols or make arrests. Republican governors in the other border states of Arizona, New Mexico and Texas backed the deployment. Even Iowa's Republican governor offered to send National Guard troops from the Midwest. Democratic governors in Oregon and Montana have said they wouldn't send troops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Guard already has 55 employees helping fight drug trafficking, surveillance in the San Diego Harbor, repairing fences, roads and culverts and analyzing criminal activity in cooperation with state and federal law enforcement agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How had Gov. Brown responded?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown has personally spoken with U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and other federal officials, but he hasn't publicly commented or made a decision. His office has instead referred questions to a spokesman for the California National Guard, which has said it needs more details.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's in contrast to Brown's sharp response last month when U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions sued to block three California laws to protect immigrants who are in the country illegally, which Brown called \"a political stunt.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Guard says it can't respond until it has more information, including who would pay for the deployment, how long it would last and what it is expected to accomplish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown's decision might depend on the mission: would California troops be fighting international drug smugglers, or helping block immigrants from crossing the border?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why is Gov. Brown keeping his powder dry?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He may just be weighing the state's policy and waiting for those answers, says Claremont McKenna College political science professor Jack Pitney. \"Trump's plan is pretty vague. It's possible at the end that Trump's request is somewhat reasonable,\" Pitney says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In contrast to his 1970s persona as an eccentric, Jerry Brown is actually a pretty cautious warrior and he's probably just weighing the policy merits of this move.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Are there political considerations?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, on both sides, says San Jose State University political science professor says Larry Gerston. Trump is appealing to his conservative base, he says, not only on immigration but on issues as broad as gay rights and automobile emissions, all touchstones for California's liberal majority. \"The list goes on and on and on and so the governor from his perspective has to ask himself 'Why? Why should I be interested in cooperating when I'm getting nothing back from the federal government,'\" he said. \"So I do think that policy and politics come together here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What does the White House say? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders says the administration will \"absolutely\" move forward with other border states if California balks at providing National Guard troops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're working with states' governors right now to go through this process and we hope to have National Guard on the ground as soon as possible,\" she said Friday. \"And we're going to continue to work with California and we're hopeful that they'll do the right thing and help protect our borders.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

And major outlets are actually doing a pretty good job of covering those weighty matters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It has been said that a president’s character is revealed in moments of crisis. Trump’s character may be perhaps be best revealed in bursts of 280 characters or less.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the plus side, the public is getting an unfiltered and unprecedented view into the thinking of a sitting president. His immediate thoughts are not hidden or cast in carefully scrubbed prose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other hand, Trump often declines to appeal to the better angels of our nature. The social media messages are often Hobbesian: nasty, brutish and short.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In February, Trump titled his retweet of a fan’s image depicting an ancient Wolf Blitzer in blackface this way: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/965221024496279552\">“The Fake News of big ratings loser CNN.”\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president wrote that the Russians’ efforts to disrupt the 2016 elections succeeded because of the investigations of his administration: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/965212168449941505\">“They are laughing their asses off in in Moscow. Get smart America!”\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump even \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/965079126829871104\">went after his own national security adviser\u003c/a>, Gen. H.R. McMaster for saying there was “incontrovertible” proof the Russians had sought to interfere with the presidential race: “General McMaster forgot to say that the results of the 2016 election were not impacted or changed by the Russians and that the only Collusion was between Russia and Crooked H, the DNC and the Dems.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Presidents Day,\u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/19/politics/trump-tweets-presidents-day/index.html\"> CNN’s Chris Cillizza\u003c/a> tallied these and other missives that he said were “totally unpresidential things” Trump had tweeted. All nine tweets on Cillizza’s list emerged during just the previous 72 hours. Trump \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/976948306927607810\">announced McMaster’s subsequent firing\u003c/a> (where else?) on Twitter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Before social media, it was a lot more opaque,” says the journalist Emily Parker. “A lot of these conversations between leaders were happening behind closed doors and we had no idea what was going on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a State Department official under President Barack Obama, Parker pushed for government officials to use such platforms to offer greater transparency. “People always said, ‘Oh, it would be so great if … we could get more public figures on Twitter and if they could speak directly to the public and speak directly to each other.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parker still thinks it’s a good thing. Yet in retrospect, she concedes, instant transparency in the Trump era represents a case study in “be careful what you wish for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now you can have leaders literally fighting in public in front of the entire world,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The current U.S. commander in chief \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/911175246853664768\">called North Korean despot Kim Jong-un, \u003c/a>whose regime is developing long-range nuclear missiles, “obviously a madman” who “will be tested like never before.” Last summer, an Australian psychology professor and a German management professor released \u003ca href=\"https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11187-017-9901-7\">their analysis of more than 35,000 Trump tweets\u003c/a> over an eight-year period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They compared Trump to other entrepreneurial leaders and political figures and concluded his competitive nature, aversion to rules and norms, and his pursuit of change and creativity reflect characteristics that are important for successful entrepreneurs and political leadership.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They also found his tweets reveal him to be “comparatively” neurotic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In comparing the president to other business leaders and politicians, the scholars cited models of behavior articulated by the early 20th century Austrian economist Joseph Schumpeter. Our president is more of a Trumpeter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump sets policy, settles scores and swaps out personnel more on Twitter than in any forum. Obviously, news organizations must examine laws, policies, regulations, and all the rest — and they are, intently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But to turn off Twitter is to embrace blind spots about this president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Twitter, Trump called his own attorney general, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/968856971075051521\">Jeff Sessions, “disgraceful.” \u003c/a>Just before the election, a tweet initialled personally by Trump from his campaign account \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/teamtrump/status/786616112700088320\">trafficked in some fairly common anti-Semitic language\u003c/a>: “Hillary Clinton meets in secret with international banks to plot the destruction of U.S. sovereignty.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are journalists and political figures who are adherents to a school of thought that says, simply: turn away. Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway says she’s among them. She argues the media uses his tweets to gin up airtime, stir controversy, and save itself from the hard business of covering government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know it’s a heck of a lot easier to cover 140 characters here or there or what the president may be saying about the media here or there than it is to learn the finer points of how Medicaid is funded in this country,” Conway said last summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her boss’s own demonstrable lack of interest in the finer points of policy was once more proved on Thursday. Trump made an unsupported claim that women coming to this country from Central America illegally are being raped at “levels that nobody’s ever seen before.” He then \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/ABC/status/981966387827556353\">literally tossed the pages of his prepared remarks\u003c/a> on tax policy in the air, calling them boring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That Conway appearance last summer played out on Fox & Friends. It is a program which Trump watches closely — and \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/01/05/trump-media-feedback-loop-216248\">from which he takes direct inspiration\u003c/a> for \u003ca href=\"https://www.vox.com/2018/2/9/16997022/strikethrough-trump-fox-friends-feedback-loop-explained-tweet\">speaking points and for his policy priorities\u003c/a>. Especially on Twitter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the outset of the Trump administration, one media critic argued that newspapers should set aside a small box daily on a page deep inside the national section to handle his Tweets: cover it, but don’t give it front-page or top-of-the-newscast treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That critic would be me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s frequent estrangement from the truth in his tweets is so complete that it defies belief. Consider, his \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/946728546633953285\">claims that Amazon’s shipping business costs\u003c/a> the U.S. Postal Service billions. By federal law, \u003ca href=\"http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2018/apr/02/donald-trump/trump-usps-postal-service-amazon-losing-fortune/\">the USPS cannot deliver packages for less than cost\u003c/a>. Yet Trump’s attacks on Amazon (due at least in significant part to his frustration with \u003cem>The Washington Post\u003c/em>, privately owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos) at least temporarily shaved \u003ca href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-03-28/amazon-takes-over-faang-decoupling-throne-after-trump-zeroes-in\">more than $50 billion\u003c/a> from that company’s market value.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Covering such tweets intently often leads to the debunking of claims that absent presidential authorship would not have deserved circulating, much less checking and debunking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet I’m not sure that my proposed approach of relegating Trump’s feed to the back pages would have fully captured the state of play for the administration’s policy reversals, personal slams and personnel changes. Millions of people are sharing his thoughts, whether through MAGA hashtag advocacy or through hate-tweeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/06/07/531945516/free-speech-legal-center-threatens-to-sue-trump-for-blocking-twitter-users\">Columbia’s Jaffer sued the president\u003c/a> on behalf of several online critics whom Trump (or his aides) had blocked on Twitter. Jaffer says the nature of the platform makes a tweet like part of a city council meeting, promising a back-and-forth, not a one-way televised address. Blocking those critics prevents them from participating in public debates, Jaffer says, inhibiting their free speech on matters of public policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, that isn’t all Trump does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He also uses it to insult people and to make bigoted remarks,” Jaffer says. “I don’t think there’s any question but that he’s lowered the tenor of political debate, and the Twitter account is maybe the largest part of it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take Trump’s retweeting of anti-Muslim material posted on accounts operated by British far-right groups. Twitter has promised repeatedly to crack down on hate speech and took down the accounts of those groups. But it did not accede to the calls by some of Trump’s critics to suspend his account as well (though it was briefly taken down by a rogue Twitter employee).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Blocking a world leader from Twitter or removing their controversial Tweets would hide important information people should be able to see and debate,” \u003ca href=\"https://blog.twitter.com/official/en_us/topics/company/2018/world-leaders-and-twitter.html\">the company said in a post in January\u003c/a>. “It would also not silence that leader, but it would certainly hamper necessary discussion around their words and actions.” (Through a corporate spokeswoman, Twitter declined to comment for this story.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jaffer, a former lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union, agrees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s tweets play best among his true believers but his tone is often willfully divisive rather than conventionally presidential. His feed is an ever-changing mood ring, often full of sound and fury, signifying sound and fury. Which we probably need to know about the person in the Oval Office. And which he serves up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

Trump’s character may be perhaps be best revealed in bursts of 280 characters or less.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the plus side, the public is getting an unfiltered and unprecedented view into the thinking of a sitting president. His immediate thoughts are not hidden or cast in carefully scrubbed prose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other hand, Trump often declines to appeal to the better angels of our nature. The social media messages are often Hobbesian: nasty, brutish and short.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In February, Trump titled his retweet of a fan’s image depicting an ancient Wolf Blitzer in blackface this way: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/965221024496279552\">“The Fake News of big ratings loser CNN.”\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president wrote that the Russians’ efforts to disrupt the 2016 elections succeeded because of the investigations of his administration: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/965212168449941505\">“They are laughing their asses off in in Moscow. Get smart America!”\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump even \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/965079126829871104\">went after his own national security adviser\u003c/a>, Gen. H.R. McMaster for saying there was “incontrovertible” proof the Russians had sought to interfere with the presidential race: “General McMaster forgot to say that the results of the 2016 election were not impacted or changed by the Russians and that the only Collusion was between Russia and Crooked H, the DNC and the Dems.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Presidents Day,\u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/19/politics/trump-tweets-presidents-day/index.html\"> CNN’s Chris Cillizza\u003c/a> tallied these and other missives that he said were “totally unpresidential things” Trump had tweeted. All nine tweets on Cillizza’s list emerged during just the previous 72 hours. Trump \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/976948306927607810\">announced McMaster’s subsequent firing\u003c/a> (where else?) on Twitter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Before social media, it was a lot more opaque,” says the journalist Emily Parker. “A lot of these conversations between leaders were happening behind closed doors and we had no idea what was going on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a State Department official under President Barack Obama, Parker pushed for government officials to use such platforms to offer greater transparency. “People always said, ‘Oh, it would be so great if … we could get more public figures on Twitter and if they could speak directly to the public and speak directly to each other.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parker still thinks it’s a good thing. Yet in retrospect, she concedes, instant transparency in the Trump era represents a case study in “be careful what you wish for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now you can have leaders literally fighting in public in front of the entire world,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The current U.S. commander in chief \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/911175246853664768\">called North Korean despot Kim Jong-un, \u003c/a>whose regime is developing long-range nuclear missiles, “obviously a madman” who “will be tested like never before.” Last summer, an Australian psychology professor and a German management professor released \u003ca href=\"https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11187-017-9901-7\">their analysis of more than 35,000 Trump tweets\u003c/a> over an eight-year period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They compared Trump to other entrepreneurial leaders and political figures and concluded his competitive nature, aversion to rules and norms, and his pursuit of change and creativity reflect characteristics that are important for successful entrepreneurs and political leadership.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They also found his tweets reveal him to be “comparatively” neurotic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In comparing the president to other business leaders and politicians, the scholars cited models of behavior articulated by the early 20th century Austrian economist Joseph Schumpeter. Our president is more of a Trumpeter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump sets policy, settles scores and swaps out personnel more on Twitter than in any forum. Obviously, news organizations must examine laws, policies, regulations, and all the rest — and they are, intently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But to turn off Twitter is to embrace blind spots about this president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Twitter, Trump called his own attorney general, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/968856971075051521\">Jeff Sessions, “disgraceful.” \u003c/a>Just before the election, a tweet initialled personally by Trump from his campaign account \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/teamtrump/status/786616112700088320\">trafficked in some fairly common anti-Semitic language\u003c/a>: “Hillary Clinton meets in secret with international banks to plot the destruction of U.S. sovereignty.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are journalists and political figures who are adherents to a school of thought that says, simply: turn away. Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway says she’s among them. She argues the media uses his tweets to gin up airtime, stir controversy, and save itself from the hard business of covering government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know it’s a heck of a lot easier to cover 140 characters here or there or what the president may be saying about the media here or there than it is to learn the finer points of how Medicaid is funded in this country,” Conway said last summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her boss’s own demonstrable lack of interest in the finer points of policy was once more proved on Thursday. Trump made an unsupported claim that women coming to this country from Central America illegally are being raped at “levels that nobody’s ever seen before.” He then \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/ABC/status/981966387827556353\">literally tossed the pages of his prepared remarks\u003c/a> on tax policy in the air, calling them boring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That Conway appearance last summer played out on Fox & Friends. It is a program which Trump watches closely — and \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/01/05/trump-media-feedback-loop-216248\">from which he takes direct inspiration\u003c/a> for \u003ca href=\"https://www.vox.com/2018/2/9/16997022/strikethrough-trump-fox-friends-feedback-loop-explained-tweet\">speaking points and for his policy priorities\u003c/a>. Especially on Twitter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the outset of the Trump administration, one media critic argued that newspapers should set aside a small box daily on a page deep inside the national section to handle his Tweets: cover it, but don’t give it front-page or top-of-the-newscast treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That critic would be me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s frequent estrangement from the truth in his tweets is so complete that it defies belief. Consider, his \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/946728546633953285\">claims that Amazon’s shipping business costs\u003c/a> the U.S. Postal Service billions. By federal law, \u003ca href=\"http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2018/apr/02/donald-trump/trump-usps-postal-service-amazon-losing-fortune/\">the USPS cannot deliver packages for less than cost\u003c/a>. Yet Trump’s attacks on Amazon (due at least in significant part to his frustration with \u003cem>The Washington Post\u003c/em>, privately owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos) at least temporarily shaved \u003ca href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-03-28/amazon-takes-over-faang-decoupling-throne-after-trump-zeroes-in\">more than $50 billion\u003c/a> from that company’s market value.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Covering such tweets intently often leads to the debunking of claims that absent presidential authorship would not have deserved circulating, much less checking and debunking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet I’m not sure that my proposed approach of relegating Trump’s feed to the back pages would have fully captured the state of play for the administration’s policy reversals, personal slams and personnel changes. Millions of people are sharing his thoughts, whether through MAGA hashtag advocacy or through hate-tweeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/06/07/531945516/free-speech-legal-center-threatens-to-sue-trump-for-blocking-twitter-users\">Columbia’s Jaffer sued the president\u003c/a> on behalf of several online critics whom Trump (or his aides) had blocked on Twitter. Jaffer says the nature of the platform makes a tweet like part of a city council meeting, promising a back-and-forth, not a one-way televised address. Blocking those critics prevents them from participating in public debates, Jaffer says, inhibiting their free speech on matters of public policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, that isn’t all Trump does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He also uses it to insult people and to make bigoted remarks,” Jaffer says. “I don’t think there’s any question but that he’s lowered the tenor of political debate, and the Twitter account is maybe the largest part of it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take Trump’s retweeting of anti-Muslim material posted on accounts operated by British far-right groups. Twitter has promised repeatedly to crack down on hate speech and took down the accounts of those groups. But it did not accede to the calls by some of Trump’s critics to suspend his account as well (though it was briefly taken down by a rogue Twitter employee).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Blocking a world leader from Twitter or removing their controversial Tweets would hide important information people should be able to see and debate,” \u003ca href=\"https://blog.twitter.com/official/en_us/topics/company/2018/world-leaders-and-twitter.html\">the company said in a post in January\u003c/a>. “It would also not silence that leader, but it would certainly hamper necessary discussion around their words and actions.” (Through a corporate spokeswoman, Twitter declined to comment for this story.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jaffer, a former lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union, agrees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>At last count, nearly a dozen local governments in California have now voted to oppose what’s known as the state’s “sanctuary law” — Senate Bill 54 — escalating tensions over the long divisive issue of illegal immigration in the Golden State.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law, passed last year, aims to protect some immigrants in the country illegally by limiting cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is believed to have the largest population in the country of undocumented immigrants, and the state is on the front lines of the resistance to the Trump administration. But the recent wave of opposition to California’s opposition to the administration is turning some heads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much of it began in the small Orange County suburb of Los Alamitos, where the city council passed a measure last month to opt out of the ‘sanctuary’ law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t like the direction California is [going],” says Warren Kusumoto, Mayor Pro Tem of the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kusumoto decided to draft the initiative because he said Los Alamitos is caught in the middle of a national political fight and is being asked to work under conflicting laws. The small city of 11,000 also has close economic ties to the federal government. It is home to several companies with large federal contracts as well as a U.S. military base.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there are also bigger symbolic reasons at play. Kusumoto is frustrated more broadly with state policies on everything from taxes to immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a state, we’ve squandered away what the ‘Greatest Generation’ provided for us,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kusumoto is a Republican and Japanese American — in his words, a product of immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe my grandparents did it the right way, they were able to immigrate, become naturalized eventually and citizens,” he says. “Why is that not the right way for anybody to come over here as immigrants?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/600211565/600288268\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some Southern California suburbs, and in many rural areas, there’s mounting frustration that views like Kusumoto’s are being crowded out by liberal cities that have gone to battle with President Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you start to legislate that we cannot cooperate or communicate with another law enforcement partner, that is problematic,” says Orange County Undersheriff Don Barnes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, the sheriff’s office began posting the release dates of inmates online, using an existing database, they say, to alert federal immigration authorities to potential issues. That move was widely seen as an open defiance to Sacramento. Sheriff officials had loudly opposed SB-54 when it was under consideration last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We shouldn’t be mixing public safety with politics,” Barnes says. “And there’s a crossover that keeps happening that is becoming more politically driven [that’s] disregarding the public’s safety.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, it is clear that at least the undercurrent of this recent backlash in Southern California is also political.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s the dying gasp of Orange County’s nasty brand of conservativism that’s infected the body politic of the United States for far too long,” says Gustavo Arellano, a longtime liberal columnist here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One reason the wave of conservative opposition has turned some heads is that pundits had been predicting that Orange County in particular was beginning to turn blue. In the 2016 presidential race, for instance, the county voted Democratic for the first time since 1936. The demographics have changed dramatically since the 1990s. Whites are now in the minority in the O.C.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Arellano says more diversity doesn’t necessarily mean it’s more Democratic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the city councils – and the Orange County Board of Supervisors which voted to join the Trump administration’s lawsuit against California – are still controlled by Republicans. And 2016 may have been an anomaly, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ultimately the Orange County dream is suburbia and suburbia turns even the most fresh off the boat person from Mexico or whatever into a rock-ribbed Republican,” Arellano says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the national political divide is just as sharp – and complicated – in Southern California as it is anywhere else. At heated public hearings you can see a mix of local grassroots activists from both sides mingling with Trump supporters who travel from meeting to meeting, some from as far away as Arizona.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Put the lives of Americans and American safety first,” said Jennifer Harrison, of Phoenix, who testified this week at a hearing in Escondido. She added: “Americans have dreams too.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this week, Escondido became the latest city to pass a resolution condemning California’s sanctuary law, voting to file a legal brief in support of the Trump administration’s lawsuit against the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Los Alamitos, where the recent backlash began, Warren Kusumoto says he was surprised by all the attention that his council’s “opt out” ordinance got. He also resents the fact that some on the left have cast his city as some sort of anti-immigrant enclave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I may be anti-illegal immigration but I don’t hate people,” Kusumoto says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Alamitos leaders aren’t sure whether their decision will hold up if it’s challenged in court. But, they say, it’s started a much needed debate. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

Kusumoto is frustrated more broadly with state policies on everything from taxes to immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a state, we’ve squandered away what the ‘Greatest Generation’ provided for us,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kusumoto is a Republican and Japanese American — in his words, a product of immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe my grandparents did it the right way, they were able to immigrate, become naturalized eventually and citizens,” he says. “Why is that not the right way for anybody to come over here as immigrants?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/600211565/600288268\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some Southern California suburbs, and in many rural areas, there’s mounting frustration that views like Kusumoto’s are being crowded out by liberal cities that have gone to battle with President Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you start to legislate that we cannot cooperate or communicate with another law enforcement partner, that is problematic,” says Orange County Undersheriff Don Barnes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, the sheriff’s office began posting the release dates of inmates online, using an existing database, they say, to alert federal immigration authorities to potential issues. That move was widely seen as an open defiance to Sacramento. Sheriff officials had loudly opposed SB-54 when it was under consideration last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We shouldn’t be mixing public safety with politics,” Barnes says. “And there’s a crossover that keeps happening that is becoming more politically driven [that’s] disregarding the public’s safety.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, it is clear that at least the undercurrent of this recent backlash in Southern California is also political.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s the dying gasp of Orange County’s nasty brand of conservativism that’s infected the body politic of the United States for far too long,” says Gustavo Arellano, a longtime liberal columnist here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One reason the wave of conservative opposition has turned some heads is that pundits had been predicting that Orange County in particular was beginning to turn blue. In the 2016 presidential race, for instance, the county voted Democratic for the first time since 1936. The demographics have changed dramatically since the 1990s. Whites are now in the minority in the O.C.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Arellano says more diversity doesn’t necessarily mean it’s more Democratic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the city councils – and the Orange County Board of Supervisors which voted to join the Trump administration’s lawsuit against California – are still controlled by Republicans. And 2016 may have been an anomaly, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ultimately the Orange County dream is suburbia and suburbia turns even the most fresh off the boat person from Mexico or whatever into a rock-ribbed Republican,” Arellano says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the national political divide is just as sharp – and complicated – in Southern California as it is anywhere else. At heated public hearings you can see a mix of local grassroots activists from both sides mingling with Trump supporters who travel from meeting to meeting, some from as far away as Arizona.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Put the lives of Americans and American safety first,” said Jennifer Harrison, of Phoenix, who testified this week at a hearing in Escondido. She added: “Americans have dreams too.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this week, Escondido became the latest city to pass a resolution condemning California’s sanctuary law, voting to file a legal brief in support of the Trump administration’s lawsuit against the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Los Alamitos, where the recent backlash began, Warren Kusumoto says he was surprised by all the attention that his council’s “opt out” ordinance got. He also resents the fact that some on the left have cast his city as some sort of anti-immigrant enclave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I may be anti-illegal immigration but I don’t hate people,” Kusumoto says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Alamitos leaders aren’t sure whether their decision will hold up if it’s challenged in court. But, they say, it’s started a much needed debate. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

A rich person buys property in the West — in London, New York or South Florida — without living in it. Instead, hot real estate markets in those places make it simple to resell a condo or a mansion and free up legitimate cash. In Kerimov’s case, he was allegedly using this scheme in the south of France when he was arrested in Nice last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2008, Donald Trump sold an estate he had purchased for around $42 million in Palm Beach, Fla., to Russian tycoon Dmitry Rybolovlev for $95 million. Rybolovlev then subdivided the property and began to sell it off as separate parcels, recouping some of the difference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen.

Manafort is facing federal charges that allege he acted as an unregistered foreign agent and laundered money, but he is not charged with conspiring with Russians who were attacking the election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manafort has pleaded not guilty and has sued the government asking to dismiss the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are geopolitical implications to Friday’s sanctions announcement beyond the U.S.-Russia investigation.

So cash could have been shipped to the United States and seeded with political groups or individuals to make the money appear to be legitimate contributions, according to the CNN report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kerimov’s alleged technique of purchasing of “villas” to launder his money also comports with questions that Trump opponents have asked about his business relationships with wealthy foreigners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One way in which illicit money allegedly moves out of Russia is via real estate. A rich person buys property in the West — in London, New York or South Florida — without living in it. Instead, hot real estate markets in those places make it simple to resell a condo or a mansion and free up legitimate cash. In Kerimov’s case, he was allegedly using this scheme in the south of France when he was arrested in Nice last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2008, Donald Trump sold an estate he had purchased for around $42 million in Palm Beach, Fla., to Russian tycoon Dmitry Rybolovlev for $95 million. Rybolovlev then subdivided the property and began to sell it off as separate parcels, recouping some of the difference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen.

Government cyber operatives stole emails from the Democratic National Committee and other victims but used purportedly independent actors — the now-shuttered Russian-created website DCLeaks or the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks, which endures.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11651653/mueller-brings-more-charges-against-manafort-gates\">Mueller Brings More Charges Against Manafort, Gates\u003cbr>\n\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11651653/mueller-brings-more-charges-against-manafort-gates\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/Manafort-1180x905.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>In June 2016, when Manafort, Trump Jr, and Jared Kushner met with a delegation of Russians in New York City after what emails to Trump Jr. described as an offer of help by the Russian government, none of the people they hosted were Russian government employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, Trump Jr.’s emails described the desire to reach the Trump campaign that originated with a Russian official — federal prosecutor Yuri Chaika — but which traveled along a path of cutouts: Chaika talked to Donald Trump’s onetime business associate, who then spoke to his son, who then spoke to his publicist, who then contacted Trump Jr.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump Jr., Kushner and Manafort all have denied conspiring with the Russian attack on the election.

Every president since Ronald Reagan has called on the National Guard for limited, temporary missions along the frontier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The troops have been used primarily for surveillance and other support activities.

Hayes in 1878.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's remarks on Tuesday appeared to catch many off guard — \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/04/04/599361716/trump-calls-for-u-s-military-on-u-s-mexico-border\">including the military\u003c/a>. Here are some of the questions raised by the president's comments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. How have presidents used troops in the past?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1986, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/1988/08/22/us/national-guard-used-test-curb-drug-flow-mexico-action-congress.html\">Reagan\u003c/a> declared drug smuggling a national security threat and launched a multipronged approach that included the National Guard, as well as several law enforcement bodies. He also signed a bill that provided amnesty for \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=128303672\">3 million\u003c/a> migrants who entered the U.S. illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His successors, including George H.W. Bush and \u003ca href=\"https://www.foreignaffairs.com/reviews/capsule-review/2003-03-01/operation-gatekeeper-rise-illegal-alien-and-remaking-us-mexico\">Bill Clinton\u003c/a>, have all called in the troops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/03/politics/border-troops-deployed-obama-bush/index.html\">George W. Bush deployed\u003c/a> some 6,000 National Guard troops in 2006 for what proved to be a two-year mission, assisting the border guards with both undocumented immigrants and drug smuggling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/checkpoint/wp/2018/04/04/trump-claimed-his-plan-to-put-troops-on-the-border-is-extraordinary-it-was-routine-for-obama/?utm_term=.42faf8fb8158\">Barack Obama \u003c/a>ordered a similar, if somewhat smaller operation, in 2010. Around 1,200 National Guard troops were called up initially. By 2012, the numbers on the ground were scaled back and a greater emphasis was placed on aerial surveillance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. What is the current situation on the border?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After rising for decades, \u003ca href=\"http://www.pewhispanic.org/2016/09/20/overall-number-of-u-s-unauthorized-immigrants-holds-steady-since-2009/\">illegal immigration dropped\u003c/a> after the 2008 recession that resulted in a sharp decline in economic opportunities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, the Obama administration \u003ca href=\"http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/oct/21/donald-trump/trump-right-deportation-numbers-wrong-talks-about-/\">deported more than 2 million\u003c/a> undocumented migrants, more than any other president. The Obama administration focused primarily on convicted criminals and those apprehended shortly after coming across the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Illegal immigration took another downturn when Trump assumed office last year with his promise to crack down on illegal immigration and build a border wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. So what prompted the president's decision to call on the National Guard?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While illegal immigration remains at a low level compared with in past decades, there has been an uptick in recent months, according to figures from \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/sw-border-migration\">Customs and Border Protection.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The numbers we're releasing for March will indicate a staggering increase from last year,\" said a senior administration official during a conference call with reporters. \"As of last April, we were at historic lows,\" the official said. \"We are no longer at that point.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics say the president is acting more out of politics, noting that the $1.3 trillion spending bill he signed last month did not include the billions he wanted to build a border wall, a fundamental campaign pledge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has been speaking out — and tweeting — about immigration issues for the past several days, including a claim that \"caravans\" of migrants are crossing the border. (\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/04/02/598781060/trumps-tweets-on-caravans-crossing-the-border-annotated\">NPR has fact-checked some of those recent claims here\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. How much authority does the president have?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The role of the National Guard or any other troops is limited by the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cato.org/publications/commentary/what-posse-comitatus\">Posse Comitatus Act\u003c/a>. President Hayes signed the measure in 1878 with the intent of ending the law enforcement role that federal troops were carrying out in the former Confederate states. The troops were supervising elections, chasing down criminal suspects and looking for illegal whiskey production.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law, amended most recently in 1981, does permit the military to do things like help out on U.S. soil in the aftermath of a natural disaster. When it comes to the border with Mexico, this has meant providing surveillance and other support roles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the military cannot act as a police force and make arrests or use force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said Monday that a small number of Texas National Guard members would remain on the U.S.-Mexico border, where they have been for the past three years under his authority, conducting surveillance. They will begin taking federal orders this month, he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 100 service members will remain in the border region, The Associated Press reported, citing Lt. Col. Travis Walters, a spokesman with the Texas Air National Guard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. How is Mexico reacting?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Mexican ambassador to the U.S., Geronimo Gutierrez, said his government has asked for clarification from the Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's certainly not something that the Mexican government welcomes,\" he told \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2018/04/03/mexico-military-clarification-geronimo-gutierrez-amanpour.cnn/video/playlists/amanpour/\">CNN\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview with NPR on Tuesday, Gutierrez said, \"We're trying to find the best ways to manage migration flows in a way that it's respectful both to the laws of the United States and Mexico.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also said most migrants reaching the southern U.S. border are \"no longer Mexicans; they are Central Americans.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The immigration issue is a hot-button topic in Mexico's presidential campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The leading candidate, \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/01/mexicos-andres-manuel-lopez-obrador-hits-out-at-trump.html\">Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador\u003c/a>, said this week that \"Mexico and its people will not be the piñata of any foreign government.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the crowd jeered at the reference to Trump, Lopez Obrador added: \"It's not with walls or use of force that you resolve social problems.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

What is the current situation on the border?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After rising for decades, \u003ca href=\"http://www.pewhispanic.org/2016/09/20/overall-number-of-u-s-unauthorized-immigrants-holds-steady-since-2009/\">illegal immigration dropped\u003c/a> after the 2008 recession that resulted in a sharp decline in economic opportunities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, the Obama administration \u003ca href=\"http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/oct/21/donald-trump/trump-right-deportation-numbers-wrong-talks-about-/\">deported more than 2 million\u003c/a> undocumented migrants, more than any other president. The Obama administration focused primarily on convicted criminals and those apprehended shortly after coming across the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Illegal immigration took another downturn when Trump assumed office last year with his promise to crack down on illegal immigration and build a border wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. So what prompted the president's decision to call on the National Guard?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While illegal immigration remains at a low level compared with in past decades, there has been an uptick in recent months, according to figures from \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/sw-border-migration\">Customs and Border Protection.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The numbers we're releasing for March will indicate a staggering increase from last year,\" said a senior administration official during a conference call with reporters. \"As of last April, we were at historic lows,\" the official said. \"We are no longer at that point.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics say the president is acting more out of politics, noting that the $1.3 trillion spending bill he signed last month did not include the billions he wanted to build a border wall, a fundamental campaign pledge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has been speaking out — and tweeting — about immigration issues for the past several days, including a claim that \"caravans\" of migrants are crossing the border. (\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/04/02/598781060/trumps-tweets-on-caravans-crossing-the-border-annotated\">NPR has fact-checked some of those recent claims here\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. How much authority does the president have?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The role of the National Guard or any other troops is limited by the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cato.org/publications/commentary/what-posse-comitatus\">Posse Comitatus Act\u003c/a>. President Hayes signed the measure in 1878 with the intent of ending the law enforcement role that federal troops were carrying out in the former Confederate states. The troops were supervising elections, chasing down criminal suspects and looking for illegal whiskey production.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law, amended most recently in 1981, does permit the military to do things like help out on U.S. soil in the aftermath of a natural disaster. When it comes to the border with Mexico, this has meant providing surveillance and other support roles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the military cannot act as a police force and make arrests or use force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said Monday that a small number of Texas National Guard members would remain on the U.S.-Mexico border, where they have been for the past three years under his authority, conducting surveillance. They will begin taking federal orders this month, he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 100 service members will remain in the border region, The Associated Press reported, citing Lt. Col. Travis Walters, a spokesman with the Texas Air National Guard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. How is Mexico reacting?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Mexican ambassador to the U.S., Geronimo Gutierrez, said his government has asked for clarification from the Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's certainly not something that the Mexican government welcomes,\" he told \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2018/04/03/mexico-military-clarification-geronimo-gutierrez-amanpour.cnn/video/playlists/amanpour/\">CNN\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview with NPR on Tuesday, Gutierrez said, \"We're trying to find the best ways to manage migration flows in a way that it's respectful both to the laws of the United States and Mexico.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also said most migrants reaching the southern U.S. border are \"no longer Mexicans; they are Central Americans.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The immigration issue is a hot-button topic in Mexico's presidential campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The leading candidate, \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/01/mexicos-andres-manuel-lopez-obrador-hits-out-at-trump.html\">Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador\u003c/a>, said this week that \"Mexico and its people will not be the piñata of any foreign government.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
