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>The Trump administration is calling for the expanded use of family detention for immigrant parents and children who are stopped along the U.S.-Mexico border, a move decried by advocates as a cruel and ineffective attempt to deter families from coming to the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigration authorities on Friday issued a notice that they may seek up to 15,000 beds to detain families. The Justice Department has also asked a federal court in California to allow children to be detained longer and in facilities that don't require state licensing while they await immigration court proceedings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The current situation is untenable,\" August Flentje, special counsel to the assistant attorney general, wrote in court filings seeking to change a longstanding court settlement that governs the detention of immigrant children. The more constrained the Homeland Security Department is in detaining families together during immigration proceedings, \"the more likely it is that families will attempt illegal border crossing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed expansion comes days after a public outcry moved the administration to cease the practice of separating children from their migrant parents on the border. More than 2,300 children have been taken from their parents since Homeland Security announced a plan in April to prosecute all immigrants caught on the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In all, about 9,000 immigrants traveling in family groups have been caught on the border in each of the last three months, according to federal authorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigrant advocates contend detention is no place for children and insist there are other alternatives to ensure they and their parents attend immigration court hearings, such as ankle bracelets or community-based programs. The federal court ruled several years ago that children must be released as quickly as possible from family detention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is definitely not a solution under any circumstances,\" said Manoj Govindaiah, director of family detention services at the RAICES advocacy group in Texas. \"At no point should a child be incarcerated, and children need to be with their parents.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigration and Customs Enforcement currently has three family detention facilities — a 100-bed center opened in Pennsylvania in 2001 and two much larger facilities opened in Texas in 2014. Only the Pennsylvania facility can house men, and all of the detainees at the Texas centers are women with children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Dilley, Texas, a facility was built on a remote site that was once an oil workers' encampment. It includes collections of cottages built around playgrounds. The other Texas center, in Karnes City, is ringed by 15-foot fences and has security cameras monitoring movements. It also offers bilingual children's books in the library, classes, TVs and an artificial turf soccer field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inside the Karnes City center, there are five or six beds to a room typically shared by a couple of families. Cinderblock walls are painted pastel colors, said Govindaiah, who added that the facilities are run by private prison operators, not humanitarian organizations, as is the case with shelters for unaccompanied immigrant children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, most families spend up to a few weeks in the facilities and are released once they pass an initial asylum screening. They are then given a date to appear before an immigration judge in the cities where they are headed to see if they qualify to stay in the country legally or will face deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those who do not pass initial screenings can seek additional review in a video conference with a judge, a process that lasts about six weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that's much shorter than the six months or a year many families were being held several years ago when the Obama administration began detaining mothers and children in a bid to stem a surge in arrivals on the border, Govindaiah said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, many were being held until their immigration cases — not just the initial screenings — were resolved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates then asked the federal court to enforce a decades-old settlement over the detention of immigrant children, and a judge ruled the children should be released as quickly as possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The settlement is seen by advocates as a way to ensure children are placed in age-appropriate facilities and for no longer than necessary. State licensing adds another layer of oversight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You will have children in facilities that are entirely inappropriate for children and are not meeting child welfare standards,\" said Michelle Brane, director of the migrant rights and justice program at the Women's Refugee Commission. \"They are trying to circumvent child welfare standards.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brane said there is a viable alternative: supervised release to communities around the country. The federal Family Case Management Program — terminated under the Trump administration — compiled a perfect record of attendance by migrants at court hearings, and a 99 percent appearance record at immigration check-ins, according to a 2017 report by the Homeland Security inspector general.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just 2 percent of participants — 23 out of 954 — were reported as absconders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Friday's notice, ICE said the family detention beds should be in state-licensed facilities and allow freedom of movement for detainees, and should preferably be located in states along the southwest border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to providing private showers and educational field trips for children, the centers should appear \"child-friendly rather than penal in nature,\" the agency said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Associated Press writers Will Weissert in McAllen, Texas, and Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar in Washington, D.C., contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

But that rare moment of public capitulation was brief from the president, who laced his remarks at a rally in Minnesota that night with hardline immigration rhetoric that continued Friday. In a tweet, the president raised questions about whether the migrants' hardships really existed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We must maintain a Strong Southern Border,\" the president tweeted. \"We cannot allow our Country to be overrun by illegal immigrants as the Democrats tell their phony stories of sadness and grief, hoping it will help them in the elections. Obama and others had the same pictures, and did nothing about it!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's suggestion that the stories were erroneous was likely fueled by revelations Friday about one of the defining images to this point in the crisis, a 2-year-old Honduran girl crying as her mother was stopped by a Border Patrol agent. But the girl in the photograph, who ended up on the cover of Time Magazine this week, was not separated from her mother but detained with her, the child's father told the Daily Mail. Time Magazine said it stood by the image because it captures \"the stakes of this moment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has long chafed at the media's treatment, his fury only growing in the past week when he felt that he did not receive proper credit for his summit in Singapore with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Some conservatives seized hold of the photo faux pas to attack the media, and White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders tweeted, \"It's shameful that dems and the media exploited this photo of a little girl to push their agenda.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other Trump allies have gone even further. Ann Coulter, a conservative pundit, said Sunday in an interview on Fox News that kids at the border were \"actor children\" who were \"given scripts to read by liberals.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coulter then turned to the camera and said to Trump, \"Don't fall for it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A number of Democrats aggressively pushed back against Trump's claims. Rep. Peter Welch of Vermont said Friday that Trump's assertion was \"bizarre\" and that the border patrol processing center he visited in Texas in recent days was \"nothing short of a prison.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of his defense for his zero tolerance border crossing policy, Trump has frequently pointed to — and exaggerated — the threat posed by members of the violent gang MS-13 who have entered the United States. In what was likely not a coincidence, the Justice Department on Friday unsealed an indictment charging 11 suspected MS-13 gang members in connection with the killings of two teens in Virginia. All the suspects were from El Salvador.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the central piece of Trump's attempts to counter-program against the despairing images at the border was to stand with the \"angel families,\" as he did repeatedly during his presidential campaign, including at the 2016 Republican National Convention. At the somber event at the White House complex on Friday, Trump introduced the families, who delivered heartbreaking tales of their loved ones' lives and, at times, gruesome descriptions of their deaths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of them held large photos of their loved ones, some of which the president autographed. Trump said that one of the victims looked like the actor Tom Selleck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Your loss will not have been in vain,\" Trump said. \"We will secure our borders, and we will make sure that they're properly taken care of.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president also rattled off a litany of statistics that indicated that illegal immigrants commit violent crimes at a far higher rate than U.S. citizens, saying \"you hear it's like they're better people than what we have, than our citizens. It's not true.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But his assertion has been contradicted by a number of studies, including one by the Cato Institute and another in the journal Criminology that found that places with higher percentages of undocumented immigrants do not have higher rates of crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Homeland Security report said there were 972 calls reporting crimes to its Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement hotline from April 26 through Sept. 30 last year. The hotline handled a total of 4,602 calls including general comments. The report said some of the calls were made for victim impact statements that lead to the deportation of someone who commits a crime. Victims also testified in immigration court proceedings, and their calls led to the arrest and detention of others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the event, Trump also bashed \"the mayor of San Diego\" for warning citizens about immigration agent raids. But the mayor of San Diego, Kevin Faulconer, is a Republican who did not provide a tip; a mayor who did was Libby Schaaf, a Democrat from Oakland,.\u003c/p>\n\n",

It's not true.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But his assertion has been contradicted by a number of studies, including one by the Cato Institute and another in the journal Criminology that found that places with higher percentages of undocumented immigrants do not have higher rates of crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Homeland Security report said there were 972 calls reporting crimes to its Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement hotline from April 26 through Sept. 30 last year. The hotline handled a total of 4,602 calls including general comments. The report said some of the calls were made for victim impact statements that lead to the deportation of someone who commits a crime. Victims also testified in immigration court proceedings, and their calls led to the arrest and detention of others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the event, Trump also bashed \"the mayor of San Diego\" for warning citizens about immigration agent raids. But the mayor of San Diego, Kevin Faulconer, is a Republican who did not provide a tip; a mayor who did was Libby Schaaf, a Democrat from Oakland,.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

It will challenge the underlying policy of separating children from their families as a violation of children’s due process rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That policy was halted Wednesday by President Trump, who \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/20/us/politics/trump-immigration-children-executive-order.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">issued an executive order\u003c/a> instructing immigration officials to continue to criminally prosecute anyone who crosses the border illegally but to keep families together in detention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even with that change in policy, Becerra said, questions remain about what will happen to the families that have already been separated, and what exactly the executive order will do. Becerra called the order “empty and meaningless” and a “political stunt.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Children belong with their families, not alone and fearful in metal cages. We are filing this lawsuit because ripping children from their parents is unlawful, wrong and heartless,” Becerra said in a written statement. “These children, their parents, and people around the world need answers regarding what comes next. This policy could have devastating consequences on children’s health and well-being. Dividing families who are being persecuted and fleeing violence is simply appalling. Separating children from their families is a new low, even for the Trump Administration.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becerra said he would co-lead a coalition of states filing the suit, along with Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson. Becerra and Ferguson were among 21 Democratic attorneys general that\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11675816/california-attorney-general-family-border-separations-illegal-and-immoral\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> sent a letter two days ago to the Trump administration\u003c/a> demanding that they end the policy of separating families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, the executive order was issued. UC Hastings law professor Rory Little said the lawsuit probably hasn’t been filed yet because the situation is changing so quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’ve gotta still be thinking about it, because the scene is still changing every day — the president issued this executive order so now they can’t just say, ‘You need to end your policy’ — the response of the Trump people was going to be, ‘Oh we did end it.’ So now they have to attack the executive order,” Little said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the states likely do have standing to bring the lawsuit, in part because many of these children are within the states that plan to file the suit. But, he said, there are several other court cases currently playing out that could impact the attorneys general’s case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That includes a case in Los Angeles federal court. On Thursday, the U.S. Department of Justice \u003ca href=\"http://thehill.com/regulation/administration/393515-doj-files-request-to-modify-the-flores-agreement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">asked a federal court to modify a two-decade-old settlement\u003c/a> that prohibits the Department of Homeland Security from holding children for more than 20 days in immigration detention; Trump wants changes to that settlement, because his administration is seeking to detain undocumented families indefinitely as their cases play out in immigration court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Little said another case — the lawsuit by Becerra and other states over Trump’s 2017 travel ban — could also impact the legal fight over these undocumented children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The travel ban decision is going to add some further law on the topic of what can states do and what can the the federal government do in regards to immigration — so that’s going to be a continuing battle,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ACLU has also filed suit in federal court in San Diego, challenging the separation of families by the Homeland Security officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Little said there’s not a lot of legal precedent for what Becerra and the other attorneys general are arguing: That taking kids from their parents violates the due process rights guaranteed under the Constitution of parents to be with their children. But, he said, that doesn’t mean it won’t be successful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am not sure we’ve got any law yet that talks about a fundamental right of a child not to be separated from their parents, but it sure strikes a chord. It strikes sort of a common-sense chord that we shouldn’t do it. That’s why the outrage has been so bipartisan on this,” Little said. “The area of immigration is traditionally a federal area of law, and so it’s very complex to figure out, well, where’s the line — between what the federal government can do to control its borders, versus what the people of the state can do when the impact is on them.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Updated at 5:18 p.m. ET\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday to end his controversial policy that has resulted in thousands of family separations and brought criticism from Democrats and Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're going to keep families together but we still have to maintain toughness or our country will be overrun by people, by crime, by all of the things that we don't stand for and that we don't want,\" Trump said Wednesday morning, when he announced that he would sign the order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president signed the order in the Oval Office just after 3 p.m. with Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen, who has been the subject of \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/06/20/621875523/shame-protesters-shout-at-dhs-head-kirstjen-nielsen-eating-at-mexican-restaurant\">intense criticism\u003c/a>, present for the signing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The order aims to end the separation of most migrant families by detaining them together while they await their court dates in criminal and immigration court. It says that while the administration will \"rigorously\" enforce immigration laws, it is \"also the policy of this Administration to maintain family unity, including by detaining alien families together where appropriate and consistent with law and available resources.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/affording-congress-opportunity-address-family-separation/\">You can read the full executive order here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also directs Defense Secretary Jim Mattis to find housing for these families and to build facilities if necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 2015 court order currently prevents the federal government from detaining children with their parents in detention centers for more than 20 days. This decision was in a case that established standards for the care of migrant children — what is known as the \u003cem>Flores\u003c/em> settlement. In the order, the president also directs Attorney General Jeff Sessions to file a request in U.S. District Court in California to modify the \u003cem>Flores\u003c/em> settlement so that the families could be detained together until their court dates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The order also provides that the Department of Homeland Security won't detain an immigrant family together \"when there is a concern that detention of an alien child with the child's alien parent would pose a risk to the child's welfare.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reaction to the executive order began coming almost immediately. Trump's daughter, Ivanka, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/IvankaTrump/status/1009518490401812481\">thanked her father on Twitter\u003c/a> for \"taking critical action ending family separation at our border.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats, however, indicated they were not satisfied with the action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This Executive Order doesn't fix the crisis,\" said Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/SenKamalaHarris/status/1009529087566794752\">on Twitter\u003c/a>. \"Indefinitely detaining children with their families in camps is inhumane and will not make us safe.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris also noted that the executive order does not say anything about reuniting the more than 2,000 children who have been separated from the parents as part of the policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When will they see their parents again?\" \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/SenKamalaHarris/status/1009529532632707072\">she said\u003c/a>. \"They must be reunited immediately.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a conference call with reporters Wednesday evening about the order, Gene Hamilton, counselor to Sessions, referred questions about families that have already been separated to DHS and the Department of Health and Human Services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the president signed the order, lawmakers from both parties, mindful of how frequently Trump reverses course — particularly on immigration, where he has repeatedly shifted positions within the course of hours — waited to see the details of what it would do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., repeatedly shrugged his shoulders when asked about Trump's announcement. \"I don't have much hope with the president that he'll do something that's actually good.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He's thinking of doing something?\" asked Sen.

This decision was in a case that established standards for the care of migrant children — what is known as the \u003cem>Flores\u003c/em> settlement. In the order, the president also directs Attorney General Jeff Sessions to file a request in U.S. District Court in California to modify the \u003cem>Flores\u003c/em> settlement so that the families could be detained together until their court dates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The order also provides that the Department of Homeland Security won't detain an immigrant family together \"when there is a concern that detention of an alien child with the child's alien parent would pose a risk to the child's welfare.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reaction to the executive order began coming almost immediately. Trump's daughter, Ivanka, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/IvankaTrump/status/1009518490401812481\">thanked her father on Twitter\u003c/a> for \"taking critical action ending family separation at our border.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats, however, indicated they were not satisfied with the action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This Executive Order doesn't fix the crisis,\" said Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/SenKamalaHarris/status/1009529087566794752\">on Twitter\u003c/a>. \"Indefinitely detaining children with their families in camps is inhumane and will not make us safe.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris also noted that the executive order does not say anything about reuniting the more than 2,000 children who have been separated from the parents as part of the policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When will they see their parents again?\" \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/SenKamalaHarris/status/1009529532632707072\">she said\u003c/a>. \"They must be reunited immediately.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a conference call with reporters Wednesday evening about the order, Gene Hamilton, counselor to Sessions, referred questions about families that have already been separated to DHS and the Department of Health and Human Services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the president signed the order, lawmakers from both parties, mindful of how frequently Trump reverses course — particularly on immigration, where he has repeatedly shifted positions within the course of hours — waited to see the details of what it would do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., repeatedly shrugged his shoulders when asked about Trump's announcement. \"I don't have much hope with the president that he'll do something that's actually good.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He's thinking of doing something?\" asked Sen.

Then, after arresting the parents and other adults, the kids are detained as “unaccompanied minors” because they are now in the country undocumented, without any parental or familial supervision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, she says, because U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers arrest the parents — something that did not happen in the vast majority of cases before zero tolerance — they can even claim the children were being smuggled in by criminals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The result: Once these teenagers are labeled “unaccompanied minors,” they are placed in the custody of HHS and become subject to different rules. Children who are held in ICE custody with their parents must be released within 20 days, under the Flores settlement agreement that sets conditions for children in immigration custody. The children in this tent camp, run by HHS, don’t benefit from that time limit. And because the tent camp is on federal land, it is not subject to state inspections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, some “unaccompanied minors” can be released while their immigration case proceeds, if a family member or other sponsor can be found.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11675909\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11675909\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/carlos_morales_marfa_public_radio__1_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"795\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/carlos_morales_marfa_public_radio__1_.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/carlos_morales_marfa_public_radio__1_-160x106.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/carlos_morales_marfa_public_radio__1_-800x530.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/carlos_morales_marfa_public_radio__1_-1020x676.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/carlos_morales_marfa_public_radio__1_-1180x782.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/carlos_morales_marfa_public_radio__1_-960x636.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/carlos_morales_marfa_public_radio__1_-240x159.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/carlos_morales_marfa_public_radio__1_-375x248.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/carlos_morales_marfa_public_radio__1_-520x345.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Protesters marched on the tent encampment at Tornillo Port of Entry near El Paso on Father’s Day. \u003ccite>(Carlos Morales/Marfa Public Radio)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But a new Trump administration policy requiring federal agencies to share information is making it harder to find those sponsors, attorneys said. That’s because if these boys tell Health and Human Services workers about family members — who might be undocumented themselves — ICE officers can now take that information and arrest those family members before they even get to the encampment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lopez said this discourages undocumented family members from claiming the boys, because they’re scared of being apprehended and deported themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There has to be a better system [to] ensure parents know where their kids are, kids know where their parents are, they’re able to communicate with each other, and the parents are able to assert their right,” Lopez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bottom line, according to Lopez: More people are being detained and for longer periods of time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This legal logjam is compounded by the fact that the teenagers are having a hard time reaching their parents, and legal representation is hard to come by in this rural area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“El Paso doesn’t have a lot of lawyers, and Tornillo, Texas, has no lawyers,” said Rep.

Then, after arresting the parents and other adults, the kids are detained as “unaccompanied minors” because they are now in the country undocumented, without any parental or familial supervision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, she says, because U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers arrest the parents — something that did not happen in the vast majority of cases before zero tolerance — they can even claim the children were being smuggled in by criminals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The result: Once these teenagers are labeled “unaccompanied minors,” they are placed in the custody of HHS and become subject to different rules. Children who are held in ICE custody with their parents must be released within 20 days, under the Flores settlement agreement that sets conditions for children in immigration custody. The children in this tent camp, run by HHS, don’t benefit from that time limit. And because the tent camp is on federal land, it is not subject to state inspections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, some “unaccompanied minors” can be released while their immigration case proceeds, if a family member or other sponsor can be found.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11675909\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11675909\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/carlos_morales_marfa_public_radio__1_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"795\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/carlos_morales_marfa_public_radio__1_.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/carlos_morales_marfa_public_radio__1_-160x106.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/carlos_morales_marfa_public_radio__1_-800x530.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/carlos_morales_marfa_public_radio__1_-1020x676.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/carlos_morales_marfa_public_radio__1_-1180x782.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/carlos_morales_marfa_public_radio__1_-960x636.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/carlos_morales_marfa_public_radio__1_-240x159.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/carlos_morales_marfa_public_radio__1_-375x248.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/carlos_morales_marfa_public_radio__1_-520x345.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Protesters marched on the tent encampment at Tornillo Port of Entry near El Paso on Father’s Day. \u003ccite>(Carlos Morales/Marfa Public Radio)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But a new Trump administration policy requiring federal agencies to share information is making it harder to find those sponsors, attorneys said.

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Updated at 6:35 p.m. ET\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen is continuing to defend the Trump administration's controversial \"zero tolerance\" policy that results in separating children from their parents who enter the U.S. illegally. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nielsen appeared at the White House press briefing on Monday, falsely blaming Democrats for the current crisis and arguing that the impetus is on Congress to pass a law to close legal loopholes. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What has changed is that we no longer exempt entire classes of people who break the law,\" Nielsen said at one point, even while making a contradictory claim that the administration has not changed its policy and is simply enforcing the current law. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Here is the bottom line: DHS is no longer ignoring the law,\" Nielsen asserted. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As \u003ca href=\"http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2018/may/29/donald-trump/trump-blames-democrat-own-policy-separating-family/\">many fact-checkers have found\u003c/a>, there is no such law requiring children to be separated from their parents if they illegally cross the border. And Republicans control Congress, not Democrats. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As to why Trump himself won't immediately reverse the policy — which she continued to deny changed — Nielsen said that the president wants \"a long-term fix.\" However, later in the briefing press secretary Sarah Sanders wouldn't say whether any legislation Congress may pass to rectify the situation would have to include full funding for the border wall Trump wants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nielsen also said it was \"cowardly\" of Democrats to claim that children were being used as leverage for the wall. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The children are not being used as a pawn,\" Nielsen said, arguing that it was \"smugglers and traffickers\" who were using them to try to get into the country illegally. \"We are trying to protect the children, which is why I'm asking Congress to act.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are a country of compassion. We are a country of heart,\" she added. \"We must fix the system so that those who truly need asylum can in fact receive it.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And when asked if the stringent policy was being enforced to send a message of deterrence for others who may consider trying to cross the border illegally, Nielsen said she found such a suggestion \"offensive.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But White House chief of staff John Kelly, who previously led DHS, told NPR's John Burnett in an interview last month that family separation \"would be a tough deterrent.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They're not bad people. They're coming here for a reason. And I sympathize with the reason. But the laws are the laws. But a big name of the game is deterrence,\" Kelly told NPR. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nielsen had previously defended the policy in a series of tweets on Sunday night; earlier in the weekend, her agency said it had \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/06/16/620451012/dhs-nearly-2-000-children-separated-from-adults-at-border-in-six-weeks\">separated nearly 2,000 children\u003c/a> from adults over the course of six weeks at the U.S. southern border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/SecNielsen/status/1008467103857463298\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The United States will not be a migrant camp, and it will not be a refugee holding facility,\" President Trump said midday on Monday, after blaming Democrats for current U.S. immigration policy. He added, \"Not on my watch.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Immigration is the fault — and all of the problems that we're having — because we cannot get them to sign legislation, we cannot get them even to the negotiating table. And I say it's very strongly the Democrats' fault,\" Trump said. \"They're obstruction. They're really obstructionist, and they are obstructing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress have struggled to figure out how to discuss the separation policy that many say they oppose. Several Senate Republicans pushed back on the White House policy, but most stopped short of directly criticizing Trump. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Texas Sen. John Cornyn, the number two Republican in the Senate, said Monday that he agrees with Nielsen that it is up to Congress to pass a long-term legislative fix to keep families together at the border. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think that's true,\" Cornyn said. \"The only thing the White House changed was their enforcement policy. They said we're going to enforce the law against everybody who comes into the country illegally.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cornyn was one of a number of Republicans who said the choice today comes down to a decision between enforcing laws separating children from parents who are charged with crimes and ignoring those laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cornyn said there are other laws that require children to be taken care of separately from parents who violate laws. He said he thinks the solution should be to keep families together while they await an expedited hearing before an immigration judge. Cornyn said he plans to introduce legislation to keep children with their parents, but he would not commit to timing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But many Republicans, like Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch, disagree. Hatch was among those to denounce the policy on Twitter early in the day. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/senorrinhatch/status/1008714648504487936\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He went further Monday night, telling reporters that he believes the White House can stop families from being separated and that removing children from parents is not the right way to deter people from attempting to cross the border illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think the White House can fix it if they want to,\" Hatch said. \"I don't think there's any question about that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hatch said a legislative fix is an option, and Congress should lead but the current situation should not be allowed to continue. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The way it's being handled right now isn't acceptable,\" Hatch said. \"I think we've got to try and keep families together and do whatever it takes to keep them together.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, also \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/lisamurkowski/status/1008835652534919169\">said Monday night on Twitter\u003c/a> that, \"The time is now for the White House to end the cruel, tragic separations of families... To blame the previous administrations for a wrong committed today is not acceptable. The Attorney General and Secretary of Homeland Security should make the call today.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats were forceful in pushing back at the administrations claims, with several, including Sens. Kamala Harris of California and Mazie Hirono of Hawaii calling on Nielsen to resign. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/KamalaHarris/status/1008784431694241792\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nevertheless, throughout the day on Monday, Nielsen and Attorney General Jeff Sessions defended the president's policy of splitting children from the adults who brought them into the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We do not want to separate children from their parents, you can be sure of that,\" Sessions said. \"If we build the wall, we pass some legislation, we close some loopholes, we won't face these terrible choices.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nielsen said the separations are warranted in cases where the parents have broken U.S. law by entering the country illegally — and that her agency is treating them no differently from how the government treats parents who break any other laws. But the Trump administration is being accused of handling the cases in a way no other presidency has.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This zero-tolerance policy is cruel. It is immoral. And it breaks my heart,\" former first lady Laura Bush said in remarks published Sunday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bush wrote an opinion piece for \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/laura-bush-separating-children-from-their-parents-at-the-border-breaks-my-heart/2018/06/17/f2df517a-7287-11e8-9780-b1dd6a09b549_story.html\">The Washington Post\u003c/a> in which she compared the DHS actions to the U.S. policy of incarcerating Japanese-Americans in camps during World War II.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First lady Melania Trump also weighed in over the weekend, with her communications director, Stephanie Grisham, sending \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/17/politics/melania-trump-children-separated-immigration/index.html\">a statement to CNN\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Mrs. Trump hates to see children separated from their families and hopes both sides of the aisle can finally come together to achieve successful immigration reform,\" the statement read, concluding, \"She believes we need to be a country that follows all laws, but also a country that governs with heart.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DHS policy triggered \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/02/27/589079243/activists-outraged-that-u-s-border-agents-separate-immigrant-families\">a lawsuit in February\u003c/a>; nearly a year earlier, members of the Trump administration had floated the idea of separating families \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/05/28/615010170/how-the-trump-administrations-family-separation-policy-is-playing-out\">as a potential deterrent\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A number of high-profile Trump officials have spoken in favor of the policy. Last month, Sessions said, \"If you don't want your child to be separated, then don't bring them across the border illegally. It's not our fault that somebody does that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sessions spoke on Monday at the National Sheriffs' Association conference in New Orleans, where he received a lifetime achievement award. In his speech, the attorney general said the U.S. is having \"an important conversation\" over whether it will be \"a country of laws\" or \"a country without borders.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One reason people voted for President Trump was \"to end the lawlessness at our southern border,\" Sessions said, adding, \"It's within our grasp.

The Father's Day march was organized by Rep. Beto O'Rourke, D-Texas, who is challenging Republican Sen. Ted Cruz. Cruz introduced a bill to prohibit family separations on Monday. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, more than 10,000 children are currently in shelters run by the Office of Refugee Resettlement, which is part of the Department of Health and Human Services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. Customs and Border Protection has published a guide for families who have been separated after parents or guardians were charged with illegal entry, noting that children who are taken into government custody are transferred to the Office of Refugee Resettlement, \"where your child will be held in a temporary child shelter or hosted by a foster family.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The guide sheet adds, \"DHS and HHS can take steps to facilitate reunification with your child(ren).\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/05/10/609480137/homeland-security-secretary-defends-separating-families-of-illegal-border-crosse\">Nielsen told NPR\u003c/a> that her agency is merely enforcing existing laws, and that criticism of the zero tolerance policy \"is inappropriate and unacceptable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That has not stopped what has now become a wave of criticism for the DHS policy of applying the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Religious leaders are speaking out against the policy, with Archbishop of Miami Thomas Wenski saying on \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/06/16/620611526/religious-groups-criticize-trump-immigration-policies\">NPR's Weekend Edition\u003c/a> that the practice effectively \"weaponizes\" children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Franklin Graham, son of the late evangelist Billy Graham and a prominent Trump supporter, told the Christian Broadcasting Network \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/06/16/620651574/faith-leaders-oppose-trumps-immigration-policy-of-separating-children-from-paren\">on Tuesday\u003c/a>, \"It's disgraceful and it's terrible to see families ripped apart, and I don't support that one bit.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her tweets Sunday night, Nielsen accused others of distorting reality, saying, \"This misreporting by Members, press & advocacy groups must stop.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DHS secretary added, \"if you are seeking asylum for your family, there is no reason to break the law and illegally cross between ports of entry.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/itsallpolitics/2015/06/12/414023967/obama-immigrant-detention-policies-under-fire\">The Obama administration\u003c/a> also came under fire for its immigration and detention policies, with lawsuits over the practice of holding families in detention centers as well as the conditions at such facilities. By embracing a more hard-line policy, the Trump administration has set off speculation that it's using the threat of separating families as both a deterrent to immigrants and a political tool in the hopes of reshaping U.S. laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You have many people in the Trump administration denying that they're using this as some sort of political leverage,\" NPR's Scott Detrow reports. \"But President Trump is leaning into that pretty hard.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Sunday, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1008511869970255872\">Trump tweeted\u003c/a>, \"The Democrats should get together with their Republican counterparts and work something out on Border Security & Safety. Don't wait until after the election because you are going to lose!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, the president added, \"Why don't the Democrats give us the votes to fix the world's worst immigration laws?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Congress, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/06/18/621103396/house-gop-immigration-bill-would-modify-but-not-end-child-detentions\">House Republicans have introduced a bill \u003c/a>to end the practice of separating families, but it would also require Democrats to agree to federal funds for a border wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As that argument plays out, others are urging a new attempt to address the root causes of mass migration from people who want to flee troubled or impoverished conditions in countries such as El Salvador to Honduras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican Rep. Will Hurd of Texas tells NPR's Steve Inskeep:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's different elements of the government that don't understand what's really going on.

And 100 of those kids were under the age of 4.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hurd added, \"This is just absolutely unacceptable. Taking kids from their mothers is not preventing terrorists or drugs from coming into this country.

And Republicans control Congress, not Democrats. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As to why Trump himself won't immediately reverse the policy — which she continued to deny changed — Nielsen said that the president wants \"a long-term fix.\" However, later in the briefing press secretary Sarah Sanders wouldn't say whether any legislation Congress may pass to rectify the situation would have to include full funding for the border wall Trump wants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nielsen also said it was \"cowardly\" of Democrats to claim that children were being used as leverage for the wall. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The children are not being used as a pawn,\" Nielsen said, arguing that it was \"smugglers and traffickers\" who were using them to try to get into the country illegally. \"We are trying to protect the children, which is why I'm asking Congress to act.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are a country of compassion. We are a country of heart,\" she added. \"We must fix the system so that those who truly need asylum can in fact receive it.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And when asked if the stringent policy was being enforced to send a message of deterrence for others who may consider trying to cross the border illegally, Nielsen said she found such a suggestion \"offensive.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But White House chief of staff John Kelly, who previously led DHS, told NPR's John Burnett in an interview last month that family separation \"would be a tough deterrent.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They're not bad people.

He added, \"Not on my watch.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Immigration is the fault — and all of the problems that we're having — because we cannot get them to sign legislation, we cannot get them even to the negotiating table. And I say it's very strongly the Democrats' fault,\" Trump said. \"They're obstruction. They're really obstructionist, and they are obstructing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress have struggled to figure out how to discuss the separation policy that many say they oppose. Several Senate Republicans pushed back on the White House policy, but most stopped short of directly criticizing Trump. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Texas Sen. John Cornyn, the number two Republican in the Senate, said Monday that he agrees with Nielsen that it is up to Congress to pass a long-term legislative fix to keep families together at the border. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think that's true,\" Cornyn said. \"The only thing the White House changed was their enforcement policy. They said we're going to enforce the law against everybody who comes into the country illegally.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cornyn was one of a number of Republicans who said the choice today comes down to a decision between enforcing laws separating children from parents who are charged with crimes and ignoring those laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cornyn said there are other laws that require children to be taken care of separately from parents who violate laws. He said he thinks the solution should be to keep families together while they await an expedited hearing before an immigration judge. Cornyn said he plans to introduce legislation to keep children with their parents, but he would not commit to timing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But many Republicans, like Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch, disagree.

Cruz introduced a bill to prohibit family separations on Monday. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, more than 10,000 children are currently in shelters run by the Office of Refugee Resettlement, which is part of the Department of Health and Human Services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. Customs and Border Protection has published a guide for families who have been separated after parents or guardians were charged with illegal entry, noting that children who are taken into government custody are transferred to the Office of Refugee Resettlement, \"where your child will be held in a temporary child shelter or hosted by a foster family.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The guide sheet adds, \"DHS and HHS can take steps to facilitate reunification with your child(ren).\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/05/10/609480137/homeland-security-secretary-defends-separating-families-of-illegal-border-crosse\">Nielsen told NPR\u003c/a> that her agency is merely enforcing existing laws, and that criticism of the zero tolerance policy \"is inappropriate and unacceptable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That has not stopped what has now become a wave of criticism for the DHS policy of applying the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Religious leaders are speaking out against the policy, with Archbishop of Miami Thomas Wenski saying on \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/06/16/620611526/religious-groups-criticize-trump-immigration-policies\">NPR's Weekend Edition\u003c/a> that the practice effectively \"weaponizes\" children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Franklin Graham, son of the late evangelist Billy Graham and a prominent Trump supporter, told the Christian Broadcasting Network \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/06/16/620651574/faith-leaders-oppose-trumps-immigration-policy-of-separating-children-from-paren\">on Tuesday\u003c/a>, \"It's disgraceful and it's terrible to see families ripped apart, and I don't support that one bit.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her tweets Sunday night, Nielsen accused others of distorting reality, saying, \"This misreporting by Members, press & advocacy groups must stop.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DHS secretary added, \"if you are seeking asylum for your family, there is no reason to break the law and illegally cross between ports of entry.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/itsallpolitics/2015/06/12/414023967/obama-immigrant-detention-policies-under-fire\">The Obama administration\u003c/a> also came under fire for its immigration and detention policies, with lawsuits over the practice of holding families in detention centers as well as the conditions at such facilities. By embracing a more hard-line policy, the Trump administration has set off speculation that it's using the threat of separating families as both a deterrent to immigrants and a political tool in the hopes of reshaping U.S. laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You have many people in the Trump administration denying that they're using this as some sort of political leverage,\" NPR's Scott Detrow reports. \"But President Trump is leaning into that pretty hard.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Sunday, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1008511869970255872\">Trump tweeted\u003c/a>, \"The Democrats should get together with their Republican counterparts and work something out on Border Security & Safety. Don't wait until after the election because you are going to lose!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, the president added, \"Why don't the Democrats give us the votes to fix the world's worst immigration laws?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Congress, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/06/18/621103396/house-gop-immigration-bill-would-modify-but-not-end-child-detentions\">House Republicans have introduced a bill \u003c/a>to end the practice of separating families, but it would also require Democrats to agree to federal funds for a border wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As that argument plays out, others are urging a new attempt to address the root causes of mass migration from people who want to flee troubled or impoverished conditions in countries such as El Salvador to Honduras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican Rep. Will Hurd of Texas tells NPR's Steve Inskeep:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's different elements of the government that don't understand what's really going on. Kids are being separated from their parents. In the last two months, there's been about 2,000. The previous about year, it was almost 700. And 100 of those kids were under the age of 4.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hurd added, \"This is just absolutely unacceptable. Taking kids from their mothers is not preventing terrorists or drugs from coming into this country. And so, why we would even think that this is a tool that is needed to defend our borders is insane to me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR's Danny Nett and Kelsey Snell contributed to this report.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
