His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>An angry President Trump pushed Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a fellow Republican, to overturn the state’s presidential results, and appeared to at least partly blame him for what could be lower turnout in Tuesday’s runoff elections that will decide control of the U.S. Senate, according to a recording of a phone call obtained by Georgia Public Broadcasting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The people of Georgia know that this was a scam, and because of what you’ve done to the president, a lot of people aren’t going out to vote [in the runoffs],” Trump said in the remarkable Saturday call. “A lot of Republicans are going to vote negative because they hate what you did to the president.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added: “You would be respected if this thing could be straightened out before the election.” Trump lost the state by nearly 12,000 votes to President-elect Joe Biden. [pullquote size=\"large\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger\"]“Well, Mr. President, the challenge that you have is the data you have is wrong.”[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 3 million Georgians have already voted in the two Jan. 5 runoffs that pit incumbent Republican Sen. David Perdue against Democrat Jon Ossoff and incumbent GOP Sen. Kelly Loeffler against Democrat Raphael Warnock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before Tuesday, advance turnout has lagged in heavily Republican parts of the state. Trump suggested Raffensperger was responsible for the drop in GOP enthusiasm, while the secretary of state has said the White House and state lawmakers spreading misinformation is to blame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/NPR/status/1345859240368304128\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Listen to the call in the video from NPR, above.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Sunday morning, Trump railed against Raffensperger on social media, retweeting baseless claims of election fraud and stating that Georgia’s top election official was “unwilling, or unable, to answer questions” about alleged problems in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/01/03/953012128/this-was-a-scam-in-recorded-call-trump-pushed-official-to-overturn-georgia-vote\">But the audio recording of the hour-long call\u003c/a> details that Raffensperger and representatives of the secretary of state’s office continued to patiently knock down some of the more inflammatory claims made by Trump and other top Republicans who allege hundreds of thousands of votes were illegally counted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Well, Mr. President, the challenge that you have is the data you have is wrong,” Raffensperger said at one point. “We have to stand by our numbers; we believe our numbers are right.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mark Meadows, Trump’s chief of staff, told Raffensperger he was hopeful that in a “spirit of cooperation and compromise” there would be some way to find a path forward to overturn Georgia’s certified election results that were confirmed both by a full hand audit and a machine recount.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t agree that you have one,” Raffensperger said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An attorney for the secretary of state’s office told the president on the call that state investigators, law enforcement and the courts looked into claims of illegal votes and found no evidence of widespread fraud that would overturn Trump’s narrow loss.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the president was undeterred.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All I want to do is this: I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have, because we won the state,” Trump stated at one point. “Flipping the state is a great testament to our country; it’s a testament that they can admit to a mistake. A lot of people think it wasn’t a mistake, it was much more criminal than that. But it’s a big problem in Georgia and it’s not a problem that’s going away.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hourlong call, which was first reported by The Washington Post, reveals the extent to which the president knows minute details of claims of irregularities. Trump was fixated on the latest rumors that counties shredded ballots from the November general election, spurred on by dubious claims made in Georgia state legislative hearings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/stphnfwlr/status/1345816854938451970\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It doesn’t pass the smell test, because we hear they’re shredding thousands and thousands of ballots,” Trump complained. A state official replied that an investigation showed no ballots were shredded, only old office supplies and other paper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Raffensperger also told the president that social media was a problem, and Trump interrupted to say that social media is “Big Tech” and was on Raffensperger’s side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know, I don’t even know why you have a side because you should want to have an accurate election — and you’re a Republican,” Trump said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House has not responded to a request for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The call came days ahead of congressional certification of Biden’s electoral victory. A number of Republican members of Congress have said they’re going to object to the results, an effort that is poised to fail but which has the support of Vice President Pence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Raffensperger was not the only target of Trump’s ire. The president said that Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, who has also repeatedly refused to interfere with the election results, was working with the secretary of state to treat Georgians badly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Like a schmuck, I endorsed him and he got elected, but I will tell you, he is a disaster,” Trump said of Kemp. “I can’t imagine he’s ever getting elected again, I’ll tell you that much.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent weeks, Trump has openly called for former Georgia U.S. Rep. Doug Collins to mount a primary challenge to Kemp.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the end of the call, there was a renewed push to get Raffensperger to undo Georgia’s results before Tuesday’s Senate runoffs, with the president and Meadows asking the state to meet and turn over information that they purport could prove evidence of fraud. The secretary of state’s attorney declined, and pointed to numerous public explanations that debunk those claims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Trump was confident the outcome would change in his favor, despite all evidence pointing to the contrary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everyone’s going to look very good if the truth comes out,” Trump said. “And the real truth is I won by 400,000 votes at least. That’s the real truth.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday night, the president will hold a rally for Perdue and Loeffler in Dalton, Georgia. He indicated on the call he will continue to air his unproven grievances there — a closing message that could hurt turnout in what are likely to be close races.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The people of Georgia are angry, and these numbers are going to be repeated on Monday night, along with others that we’re going to have by that time, which are much more substantial,” Trump claimed.\u003c/p>\n\n",

A lot of people think it wasn’t a mistake, it was much more criminal than that. But it’s a big problem in Georgia and it’s not a problem that’s going away.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hourlong call, which was first reported by The Washington Post, reveals the extent to which the president knows minute details of claims of irregularities. Trump was fixated on the latest rumors that counties shredded ballots from the November general election, spurred on by dubious claims made in Georgia state legislative hearings.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

A state official replied that an investigation showed no ballots were shredded, only old office supplies and other paper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Raffensperger also told the president that social media was a problem, and Trump interrupted to say that social media is “Big Tech” and was on Raffensperger’s side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know, I don’t even know why you have a side because you should want to have an accurate election — and you’re a Republican,” Trump said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House has not responded to a request for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The call came days ahead of congressional certification of Biden’s electoral victory. A number of Republican members of Congress have said they’re going to object to the results, an effort that is poised to fail but which has the support of Vice President Pence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Raffensperger was not the only target of Trump’s ire. The president said that Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, who has also repeatedly refused to interfere with the election results, was working with the secretary of state to treat Georgians badly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Like a schmuck, I endorsed him and he got elected, but I will tell you, he is a disaster,” Trump said of Kemp. “I can’t imagine he’s ever getting elected again, I’ll tell you that much.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent weeks, Trump has openly called for former Georgia U.S. Rep. Doug Collins to mount a primary challenge to Kemp.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the end of the call, there was a renewed push to get Raffensperger to undo Georgia’s results before Tuesday’s Senate runoffs, with the president and Meadows asking the state to meet and turn over information that they purport could prove evidence of fraud. The secretary of state’s attorney declined, and pointed to numerous public explanations that debunk those claims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Trump was confident the outcome would change in his favor, despite all evidence pointing to the contrary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everyone’s going to look very good if the truth comes out,” Trump said. “And the real truth is I won by 400,000 votes at least. That’s the real truth.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday night, the president will hold a rally for Perdue and Loeffler in Dalton, Georgia. He indicated on the call he will continue to air his unproven grievances there — a closing message that could hurt turnout in what are likely to be close races.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

At the final presidential debate in October, Biden voiced outrage over the policy, in which border agents were instructed to take children away from their mothers and fathers to facilitate criminal prosecutions of the parents and send a message intended to deter future migration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Their kids were ripped from their arms and separated. And now they cannot find over 500 sets of those parents,” Biden said during the debate. “And those kids are alone. Nowhere to go. ... It's criminal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/XaHidsQaqXE\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden was referring to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11843100/parents-of-545-children-separated-at-u-s-mexico-border-still-cant-be-found\">parents of 545 children\u003c/a> who were separated in 2017, and who lawyers and advocates say they’re still unable to locate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, the total number of families who have not been reunited — in some cases more than three years later — is believed to be far greater than that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since Trump took office in 2017, more than \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11782685/new-tally-totals-over-5500-kids-taken-from-parents-at-the-border\">5,500 children\u003c/a> have been separated due to administration policies. And while more than 3,000 parents have been located, that leaves a great many kids still in limbo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden has said that on his first day in office, he’ll create a federal task force to reunite families separated under the Trump administration. But fully addressing family separations won’t be a straightforward process — and questions remain about how far the new administration will go to address the long-term effects of these separations on the children and parents involved.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Thousands of Separated Children\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In June 2018, lawyers with the American Civil Liberties Union and the federal government appeared before U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw in San Diego as part of a months-long battle to end family separations at the U.S.-Mexico border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sabraw issued an \u003ca href=\"https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.casd.564097/gov.uscourts.casd.564097.83.0_4.pdf\">injunction\u003c/a>, ordering an end to separations and requiring the federal government to swiftly reunify children with their parents (setting a deadline of 14 days for children under the age of 5 and 30 days for older children).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The government eventually identified 2,814 separated children. These families are known as the \"original class\" in the class-action lawsuit \u003ca href=\"https://casetext.com/case/ms-l-v-us-immigration-customs-enforcement\">Ms. L. v. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement\u003c/a>. In some cases it took many months, but almost all of those families were reunited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11797878\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/GettyImages-973077552-1020x699.jpg\" label=\"More on Family Separations\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In early 2019, however, the Office of Inspector General for the Department of Health and Human Services, the agency responsible for the care of unaccompanied migrant children, \u003ca href=\"https://oig.hhs.gov/oei/reports/oei-BL-18-00511.pdf\">issued a watchdog report\u003c/a> charging that border separations began much earlier than previously known — as early as July 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Sabraw’s orders, government officials spent months investigating and finally reported there were as many as 1,556 additional separated children. As a result, Sabraw included this “expanded class” of parents in the lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Like the current class members, they too were separated from their children,” Sabraw wrote in the decision. “They were not reunited with their children despite the absence of any finding they were unfit parents or presented a danger to their children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These families make up the majority of those still separated today. Most of the parents are difficult to find because the separations occurred so long ago and many have since been deported.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Parents Who Can’t Be Found\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Of those the children in the expanded class, plaintiffs' advocates have reached the parents of 570, according to a December report to the court. They're still working on finding the parents of 628 children, nearly 300 of whom they believe to have been removed from the U.S. after their kids were taken away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ACLU attorney Lee Gelernt, who is lead counsel representing separated parents in the case, said the search for parents has been delayed because the government often provided outdated contact information or none at all.[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='ACLU lawyer Lee Gelernt']'We couldn't even begin the searches by phone, trying to contact these families.'[/pullquote]“We couldn't even begin the searches by phone, trying to contact these families,” Gelernt said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without contact information, a committee of lawyers and advocates in charge of the search have few options. They try to find parents online or through records in their country of origin, and when all else fails, they enlist a network of human rights lawyers and nonprofit organizations in Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador and Mexico, who conduct door-to-door searches. This effort has been further \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11831289/how-covid-19-has-impacted-the-search-for-separated-families\">complicated and hampered by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the challenges, Biden says his task force is committed to prioritizing the reunification of any children still separated from their families.

At the final presidential debate in October, Biden voiced outrage over the policy, in which border agents were instructed to take children away from their mothers and fathers to facilitate criminal prosecutions of the parents and send a message intended to deter future migration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Their kids were ripped from their arms and separated. And now they cannot find over 500 sets of those parents,” Biden said during the debate. “And those kids are alone. Nowhere to go. ... It's criminal.”\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/XaHidsQaqXE'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/XaHidsQaqXE'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Biden was referring to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11843100/parents-of-545-children-separated-at-u-s-mexico-border-still-cant-be-found\">parents of 545 children\u003c/a> who were separated in 2017, and who lawyers and advocates say they’re still unable to locate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, the total number of families who have not been reunited — in some cases more than three years later — is believed to be far greater than that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since Trump took office in 2017, more than \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11782685/new-tally-totals-over-5500-kids-taken-from-parents-at-the-border\">5,500 children\u003c/a> have been separated due to administration policies. And while more than 3,000 parents have been located, that leaves a great many kids still in limbo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden has said that on his first day in office, he’ll create a federal task force to reunite families separated under the Trump administration. But fully addressing family separations won’t be a straightforward process — and questions remain about how far the new administration will go to address the long-term effects of these separations on the children and parents involved.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Thousands of Separated Children\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In June 2018, lawyers with the American Civil Liberties Union and the federal government appeared before U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw in San Diego as part of a months-long battle to end family separations at the U.S.-Mexico border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sabraw issued an \u003ca href=\"https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.casd.564097/gov.uscourts.casd.564097.83.0_4.pdf\">injunction\u003c/a>, ordering an end to separations and requiring the federal government to swiftly reunify children with their parents (setting a deadline of 14 days for children under the age of 5 and 30 days for older children).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The government eventually identified 2,814 separated children. These families are known as the \"original class\" in the class-action lawsuit \u003ca href=\"https://casetext.com/case/ms-l-v-us-immigration-customs-enforcement\">Ms. L. v. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement\u003c/a>. In some cases it took many months, but almost all of those families were reunited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

As a result, Sabraw included this “expanded class” of parents in the lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Like the current class members, they too were separated from their children,” Sabraw wrote in the decision. “They were not reunited with their children despite the absence of any finding they were unfit parents or presented a danger to their children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These families make up the majority of those still separated today.
