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

"content": "\u003cp>A federal judge in California has approved a settlement that allows most of the nearly 2,700 migrant children taken from parents at the border this year to get another chance to apply for asylum. Many of their parents will also get that chance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The settlement, reached between the government and the American Civil Liberties Union, resolved three lawsuits challenging the separation of migrant families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The settlement is a remarkable piece of work, accomplished through a great deal of time and effort by the parties,” said U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw at a hearing in San Diego Thursday. “It’s not perfect, but we are dealing with a situation that is far from perfect.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agreement applies to children who were still in U.S. custody on June 26 — the date when Sabraw \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11677646/judge-bars-migrant-family-separations-orders-return-of-children-within-30-days\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ordered\u003c/a> the government to reunite the families. Parents of eligible children can also apply, but only if they are still in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We believe it will help hundreds, if not thousands, of families,” said ACLU attorney Lee Gelernt after the hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plaintiffs argued that families had been so traumatized by the forcible separation that they may not have been able to make credible asylum claims initially.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some advocates \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11698629/parents-deported-without-their-kids-face-untenable-choice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">objected\u003c/a> to the settlement because it excludes more than 400 parents who were deported without their children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those parents had to choose between being reunited with their children in their home countries or leaving their children in the U.S. in hopes they’d be allowed to stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In overruling that objection, Sabraw said the settlement addresses the issue of deported parents by allowing the ACLU to bring individual cases to the government to reconsider allowing them to reapply for asylum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The judge instructed the government to operate in good faith when reviewing these cases,” Gelernt said. “We’re hopeful the government will agree to return these parents and, if not, we may have to bring that issue back to Judge Sabraw.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorneys have 30 days to decide which cases of deported parents to bring to the government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gelernt was also satisfied that the court ordered the government to fix some issues that affect a minority of the families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, two women who petitioned the court to be included in the settlement are legal guardians of children — not parents — who are still in the U.S. They said they should be allowed to reapply for asylum, the same as any parent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judge ordered the parties to meet and confer to resolve the question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Most Children Reunited With Families\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even as the settlement agreement winds down, the court will continue to oversee the reunification of families that remain separated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In court papers filed Nov. 8, the government reported that 2,666 children have been identified as having been taken from a parent. And of those, 2,458 children have already been discharged from the government’s care to a parent, relative or sponsor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judge Sabraw has set a status conference for Nov. 30 to get an update on the reunification process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘Unfit’ Parents\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not all issues will be resolved in the settlement, including the question of what happens to 30 children who will not be returned to parents whom the government deemed “unfit” or dangerous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one such case, “Ms. Q”, a mother from El Salvador, was separated from her 3-year-old son, “J”, at the border. She was sent to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention in Laredo, Texas. Her son was sent to a child care facility in Chicago. After three months the government informed Ms. Q she was “unfit” to be reunited with her son because the Salvadoran government had issued a warrant for her arrest on suspicion that she was affiliated with a gang. Through attorneys, she said she came to the U.S. to escape gang violence, after she was badly beaten by gang members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorneys representing Ms. Q and her son recently challenged the government’s decision not to reunite them, in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Policy That Was Not a Policy\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration has denied any official policy of separating families, but said families had to be split apart when parents faced criminal prosecution for entering the country illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The “zero-tolerance policy” of prosecuting all adults crossing the border unlawfully, was adopted in April this year and publicly announced by the U.S. Department of Justice in May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials transferred parents to courthouses along the border to face charges, they sent the children to facilities managed by the Office of Refugee Resettlement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parents who pleaded guilty to misdemeanor illegal entry were often returned to Border Patrol stations within hours, only to discover that their children had been taken away with no explanation of where they had been sent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The separation of children, including infants, from their parents so outraged Americans that in June, President Trump issued an executive order to end the practice. That was followed, days later, by Sabraw’s order to reunite the families.\u003c/p>\n\n",

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

And of those, 2,458 children have already been discharged from the government’s care to a parent, relative or sponsor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judge Sabraw has set a status conference for Nov. 30 to get an update on the reunification process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘Unfit’ Parents\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not all issues will be resolved in the settlement, including the question of what happens to 30 children who will not be returned to parents whom the government deemed “unfit” or dangerous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one such case, “Ms. Q”, a mother from El Salvador, was separated from her 3-year-old son, “J”, at the border. She was sent to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention in Laredo, Texas. Her son was sent to a child care facility in Chicago. After three months the government informed Ms. Q she was “unfit” to be reunited with her son because the Salvadoran government had issued a warrant for her arrest on suspicion that she was affiliated with a gang. Through attorneys, she said she came to the U.S. to escape gang violence, after she was badly beaten by gang members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorneys representing Ms. Q and her son recently challenged the government’s decision not to reunite them, in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Policy That Was Not a Policy\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration has denied any official policy of separating families, but said families had to be split apart when parents faced criminal prosecution for entering the country illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The “zero-tolerance policy” of prosecuting all adults crossing the border unlawfully, was adopted in April this year and publicly announced by the U.S. Department of Justice in May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials transferred parents to courthouses along the border to face charges, they sent the children to facilities managed by the Office of Refugee Resettlement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parents who pleaded guilty to misdemeanor illegal entry were often returned to Border Patrol stations within hours, only to discover that their children had been taken away with no explanation of where they had been sent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The separation of children, including infants, from their parents so outraged Americans that in June, President Trump issued an executive order to end the practice. That was followed, days later, by Sabraw’s order to reunite the families.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

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

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

One recent case involves a seven-year-old boy separated from his asylum-seeking mother at the San Ysidro Port of Entry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump said he was \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/06/20/621798823/speaker-ryan-plans-immigration-votes-amid-doubts-that-bills-can-pas\">stopping the widely condemned family separation policy\u003c/a> this June, but neither the language in his executive order nor the language in a San Diego federal \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/06/27/623788648/federal-judge-in-san-diego-bars-migrant-family-separations\">judge's ruling\u003c/a> against separations provide protection for unique instances when asylum-seekers enter with U.S.-citizen children. Both orders seek to maintain family unity when both the parents and the children are foreign nationals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. Customs and Border Protection provided this statement in response to a KPBS inquiry:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>If an inadmissible foreign national arrives with a United States citizen minor, and the foreign national will be detained for an immigration violation, they may be separated as CBP and ICE are unable to detain United States citizens in these instances. CBP officials make every attempt to turn U.S. citizen minors over to the custody of a family member. At times, we use Child Welfare Services to assist with an appropriate placement.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Department of Homeland Security said it still has a policy of separating \"for the best interest of the child, for health or medical reasons, or for criminal background of the adult,\" according to spokeswoman Katie Waldman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

If the child is put up for adoption, a biological parent could permanently lose custody of the child.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the children separated recently is a seven-year-old boy who was taken from his Mexican mother at the San Ysidro Port of Entry after the two presented themselves legally and asked for asylum last Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KPBS is not releasing the family's names because they are escaping an extreme domestic violence situation in southern Mexico, according to Pinheiro, who is providing pro bono services to the family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the boy, a U.S. citizen, is with Child Welfare Services in San Diego County and a social worker is having trouble finding a home for him, Pinheiro said. The boy was born in the U.S. while his mother was living here for a few years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pinheiro said Customs and Border Protection should have released the mother on parole with a notice to appear in court in order to avoid separating the family. She said that is what usually happens when asylum-seekers enter with U.S.-citizen children, and added that Pinheiro had no prior removal orders or a criminal record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They've essentially stripped (this mother) of her parental rights without any due process even though she's followed all the rules,\" Pinheiro said. \"She's sought asylum legally and she should be with her son right now.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Customs and Border Protection did not respond to repeated requests for comment as to why this particular family was separated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, Pinheiro visited the San Ysidro Port of Entry to determine the status of her client and to request that her client be released on parole for the well-being of her son.

But U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement told KPBS she was still with the latter agency, which usually transfers detainees to ICE after a few days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a memo on Wednesday, Al Otro Lado told California Attorney General Xavier Becerra that the Department of Homeland Security is violating state child welfare laws and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/06/22/622678753/the-history-of-the-flores-settlement-and-its-effects-on-immigration\">Flores settlement\u003c/a> by continuing to separate families at the border, and asked the attorney general to \"intervene to ensure that both parents’ and children’s rights are protected.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney General Becerra's office declined to comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In June, about a week after Trump revoked his family separation policy, several states including California \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4560684-Complaint-for-Declaratory-and-Injunctive-Relief.html\">filed a lawsuit\u003c/a> against the Trump administration stating that separations were an \"affront to States' sovereign interests.\" The lawsuit cited \"fiscal impacts\" experienced by child welfare services and other state programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A day later, a San Diego-based federal judge \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/06/27/623788648/federal-judge-in-san-diego-bars-migrant-family-separations\">ordered a stop to family separations\u003c/a> and the reunification of nearly 3,000 children separated from parents. Hundreds remain separated in the ongoing litigation. That lawsuit was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union. Judge Dana Sabraw's ruling applies to foreign national parents with foreign national children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ACLU attorney Lee Gelernt said \"the combination of the executive order and the judge's ruling should give the government pause about ever separating a parent and a child, particularly where that child is young and of a tender age.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added, \"If the parent is not a flight risk or a danger in any significant way, the government should be doing everything they can to parole these families so the child does not end up in a child protective services situation or with a foster family. They're doing too much damage to young children by separating families.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
