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.",

He recently attended a legal orientation program in San Francisco’s Mission district with his cousin Santos, who sponsored his release.

But advocates say that since last year, when ORR agreed to share information about potential sponsors with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, many undocumented families are not claiming children out of fear they could be deported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Previously, service providers felt comfortable reassuring undocumented sponsors that they and other household members wouldn’t become targets of immigration enforcement. But now, \u003ca href=\"https://justiceforimmigrants.org/what-we-are-working-on/unaccompanied-children/orr-and-dhs-information-sharing-agreement-its-consequences/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ICE runs\u003c/a> criminal and immigration background checks as part of the vetting process, said Melissa Hastings, a policy advisor at the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops in Washington, DC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While thorough vetting of sponsors is beneficial, we do remain deeply concerned about the information sharing between ORR and ICE,” said Hastings. “[It] continues to represent a significant shift in past practices and it is resulting in serious impacts to children, including prolonged stays in U.S. custody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In February, Congress limited the use of the ORR data for immigration enforcement after \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/ICE-arrested-undocumented-adults-who-sought-to-13455142.php?psid=3SJnP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reports\u003c/a> that ICE had arrested 170 immigrants who were trying to get minors out of U.S. custody. Most of those potential sponsors had no criminal record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But advocates say those restrictions are set to expire in September.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The climate towards immigration right now in this country is inducing a lot of fear for people who in the past may have stepped forward to sponsor a child,” said Atkinson, the San Francisco attorney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the last year, the Trump administration expanded requirements for who must be fingerprinted in the sponsor’s household. But the government backtracked after the number of unaccompanied migrant children in U.S. custody ballooned to more than 14,700.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, only sponsors who are not the child’s parents or legal guardians must submit their fingerprints for background checks — unless risks and other factors that could harm the child are revealed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Most of those potential sponsors had no criminal record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But advocates say those restrictions are set to expire in September.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The climate towards immigration right now in this country is inducing a lot of fear for people who in the past may have stepped forward to sponsor a child,” said Atkinson, the San Francisco attorney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the last year, the Trump administration expanded requirements for who must be fingerprinted in the sponsor’s household. But the government backtracked after the number of unaccompanied migrant children in U.S. custody ballooned to more than 14,700.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, only sponsors who are not the child’s parents or legal guardians must submit their fingerprints for background checks — unless risks and other factors that could harm the child are revealed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

During an unannounced visit last year, federal inspectors from the Department of Homeland Security's \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/assets/2018-10/OIG-18-86-Sep18.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Office of the Inspector General found\u003c/a> \"nooses\" made out of bed sheets in 15 out of 20 cells. The inspectors found guards overlooked the nooses even though a detainee had committed suicide using a bedsheet in 2017 and several others had attempted suicide using a similar method. The government audit concluded GEO Group guards improperly handcuffed and shackled detainees, unnecessarily placed detainees in solitary confinement and failed to provide adequate medical care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A separate investigation of Adelanto and other immigration detention facilities in California released in February by California Attorney General Xavier Becerra found similar health and safety problems and concluded that detainees were treated like prisoners, some kept in their cells for 22 hours a day, even though they have not been charged with a crime. A state law passed in 2017 directs the state to inspect and report on the treatment of immigrant detainees held in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a March 27 letter to GEO Group, Adelanto City Manager Jessie Flores informed the private prison operator that the contract would expire in 90 days, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11736531/adelanto-ending-contract-for-largest-immigration-detention-facility-in-california\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">KQED reported\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The alleged cases documented in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.disabilityrightsca.org/system/files/file-attachments/DRC_REPORT_ADELANTO-IMMIG_DETENTION_MARCH2019.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">most recent report\u003c/a> by Disability Rights California, a watchdog group with legal oversight to protect people with disabilities in the Golden State, are grim: detainees slitting their wrists; discontinued medication for depression; and ignored requests for wheelchairs and walkers. At least one detainee claimed that guards pepper-sprayed him when he did not stand up, and a second time while he tried to hang himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a written statement, GEO Group says it \"strongly disputes the claims\" in the report, and that the remedies recommended by Disability Rights California \"were already in place.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are deeply committed,\" the company says, \"to delivering high-quality, culturally responsive services in safe and humane environments.\" An ICE spokesperson says, in an emailed statement, that GEO Group's Adelanto facility is in \"full compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Mario, who was inside Adelanto for six months in 2018, says the report describes his own experiences there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What's happening is all those claims that have been made against GEO and the staff in the medical department are finally being backed up by reports,\" Mario says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He asked us not to use his last name since he's out on bond and still fighting deportation. Mario is now 32; he crossed the border with his parents without documentation when he was 5.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2017, he was convicted of a misdemeanor and ICE agents picked him up at his home in Ontario, California. At the time, Mario was seeing a therapist for depression and taking medication. It took three weeks to get back on antidepressants, he says, and the sessions with the psychologists at Adelanto were only cursory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They keep their actual sessions to five to 10 minutes,\" he says. \"It's basically like a quick check-in. They just ask you, 'How are you? Do you have any suicidal thoughts? When is your next court date?' It's one of those things that I feel is basically done just to say, 'All right, we did it.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mario is gay and lived in a room with three other men, including a gay man from Mexico who was seeking asylum. The two men became close friends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He was persecuted in Mexico because of being gay,\" Mario says. Months of detention \"and not getting any mental health care really took a toll on him. And that's when he cut himself. He cut his wrist with a razor blade that we get to shave. And after that he was placed in solitary confinement for about a week.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mario says when his friend came back to their room, he was taking some sort of medication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"After that, all he did was sleep,\" Mario says. \"When the food was ready I'd go call him: 'OK, it's time to eat.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other detainees and immigration lawyers described a similar pattern, of GEO psychiatrists prescribing antipsychotic medications that make people sleep much of the time. It's one of the reasons people were reluctant to seek help, Mario says. But also, like other detainees, he was worried about being labeled as depressed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I couldn't express whenever I was extremely feeling sad or depressed or anxious because I was afraid that would be used against me in court,\" he explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judges cannot use mental health conditions to deny legal status to a detainee, according to immigration attorneys.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, long after GEO Group says the company addressed any problems detailed in the Disability Rights California report, detainees in Adelanto staged a hunger strike. The detainees gave an attorney a handwritten note, which was released by the Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice, an advocacy group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chief among their demands was speedier access to good medical care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://khn.org/news/author/sarah-varney/\" target=\"_blank\">Sarah Varney\u003c/a>\u003cem> is a senior national correspondent at Kaiser Health News, a nonprofit health newsroom that is an editorially independent part of the Kaiser Family Foundation.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2019 Kaiser Health News.

At least one detainee claimed that guards pepper-sprayed him when he did not stand up, and a second time while he tried to hang himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a written statement, GEO Group says it \"strongly disputes the claims\" in the report, and that the remedies recommended by Disability Rights California \"were already in place.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are deeply committed,\" the company says, \"to delivering high-quality, culturally responsive services in safe and humane environments.\" An ICE spokesperson says, in an emailed statement, that GEO Group's Adelanto facility is in \"full compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Mario, who was inside Adelanto for six months in 2018, says the report describes his own experiences there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What's happening is all those claims that have been made against GEO and the staff in the medical department are finally being backed up by reports,\" Mario says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He asked us not to use his last name since he's out on bond and still fighting deportation. Mario is now 32; he crossed the border with his parents without documentation when he was 5.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2017, he was convicted of a misdemeanor and ICE agents picked him up at his home in Ontario, California. At the time, Mario was seeing a therapist for depression and taking medication. It took three weeks to get back on antidepressants, he says, and the sessions with the psychologists at Adelanto were only cursory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They keep their actual sessions to five to 10 minutes,\" he says. \"It's basically like a quick check-in. They just ask you, 'How are you? Do you have any suicidal thoughts? When is your next court date?' It's one of those things that I feel is basically done just to say, 'All right, we did it.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mario is gay and lived in a room with three other men, including a gay man from Mexico who was seeking asylum. The two men became close friends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He was persecuted in Mexico because of being gay,\" Mario says. Months of detention \"and not getting any mental health care really took a toll on him. And that's when he cut himself. He cut his wrist with a razor blade that we get to shave. And after that he was placed in solitary confinement for about a week.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mario says when his friend came back to their room, he was taking some sort of medication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"After that, all he did was sleep,\" Mario says. \"When the food was ready I'd go call him: 'OK, it's time to eat.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other detainees and immigration lawyers described a similar pattern, of GEO psychiatrists prescribing antipsychotic medications that make people sleep much of the time. It's one of the reasons people were reluctant to seek help, Mario says. But also, like other detainees, he was worried about being labeled as depressed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I couldn't express whenever I was extremely feeling sad or depressed or anxious because I was afraid that would be used against me in court,\" he explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judges cannot use mental health conditions to deny legal status to a detainee, according to immigration attorneys.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, long after GEO Group says the company addressed any problems detailed in the Disability Rights California report, detainees in Adelanto staged a hunger strike. The detainees gave an attorney a handwritten note, which was released by the Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice, an advocacy group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chief among their demands was speedier access to good medical care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://khn.org/news/author/sarah-varney/\" target=\"_blank\">Sarah Varney\u003c/a>\u003cem> is a senior national correspondent at Kaiser Health News, a nonprofit health newsroom that is an editorially independent part of the Kaiser Family Foundation.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2019 Kaiser Health News.

Let’s see if they have open arms.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White House and Homeland Security officials said as recently as Friday morning that the sanctuary cities idea has been discussed, but quickly dismissed, after DHS lawyers voiced strong opposition to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump nonetheless revived it in a pair of tweets on Friday morning that took DHS officials by surprise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1116742282286440448\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reversal, which appeared to catch officials at the Department of Homeland Security off guard, came as critics were blasting news that the White House had at least twice considered a plan to release detained immigrants into so-called sanctuary cities, using migrants as pawns to go after political opponents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/lowdown/18799/explainer-what-are-sanctuary-cities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sanctuary cities\u003c/a>, like San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles, are jurisdictions where authorities don’t work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement to round up people living in the country illegally. They have long been a target of Trump and his supporters, who claim they flagrantly violate the nation’s immigration laws and harbor dangerous criminals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea of pressing immigration authorities to embrace the plan was discussed in November and then again in February as the Trump administration struggled with a surge of migrants at the border, according to three sources who spoke on condition of anonymity. Homeland Security and ICE lawyers quickly rejected the proposal and it was dropped on the grounds that it was complicated, too expensive and a misuse of funds, two of the sources said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=lowdown_18799,news_11730319,news_11684223]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Deputy Director Matt Albence denies the White House pressured immigration officials to implement the idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plan, which was \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-says-administration-giving-strong-consideration-to-releasing-immigrant-detainees-in-sanctuary-cities/2019/04/12/5c5f2504-5d2d-11e9-842d-7d3ed7eb3957_story.html?utm_term=.938b92b08fff\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">first reported\u003c/a> by the Washington Post, is one of many ideas considered by an increasingly frustrated White House in recent months as Trump has railed against the growing number of Central American migrant families crossing the southern border and is looking for new ways to increase leverage on congressional Democrats to change laws he insists are making the problem worse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials say they are running out of options, and have proposed and recycled numerous ideas that have never come to fruition. Trump in recent weeks has discussed the idea of renewing his administration’s controversial family separation policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE is tasked with arresting people living in the country illegally — including some who have been here for decades. Under the Trump administration, ICE has significantly stepped up arrests, including of people who have no U.S. criminal records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The surge of migrant families arriving at the southern border has been taxing the system, forcing ICE to set free more than 125,000 people as they await court hearings — a practice Trump has derided as “catch and release.” With immigrant processing and holding centers overwhelmed, the administration has also been busing people hundreds of miles inland and releasing them at Greyhound stations and churches in cities such as Albuquerque, San Antonio and Phoenix, because towns close to the border already have more than they can handle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response, some cities have banished ICE from jails where agents could easily pick up immigration violators. Police in most sanctuary cities rarely, if ever, disclose information about when suspected criminals in the U.S. illegally will be released from custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were at least two versions of the sanctuary city plan that were considered, according to one of the people familiar with the effort. One would have moved people who had already been detained to places represented by Democratic opponents of the president, while the other would have transported migrants apprehended at the border directly to San Francisco, New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago and other sanctuary cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Post reported that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s district in San Francisco was \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/white-house-proposed-releasing-immigrant-detainees-in-sanctuary-cities-targeting-political-foes/2019/04/11/72839bc8-5c68-11e9-9625-01d48d50ef75_story.html?utm_term=.e53c9cce9bda\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">among the targets\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright noborder\">\n\u003ch2>Major sanctuary cities in California\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"700\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https://mgreen.carto.com/viz/f606fe7c-24fe-11e5-873a-0e853d047bba/embed_map\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The idea is “just another notion that is unworthy of the president of the United States and disrespectful of the challenges we face,” said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats have said they will tackle immigration bills, possibly as soon as they return from their spring recess, and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell has indicated an interest in working on the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leaders in Bay Area sanctuary cities quickly issued statements blasting Trump’s idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Like so many issues we are forced to talk about during this presidency, this isn’t a real idea or a real proposal, it’s just another scare tactic,” San Francisco Mayor London Breed in a statement. “Yes, immigration is an important issue and we need legislative reform, but that’s not what this President is talking about. We are proud to be a Sanctuary City and to continue to put forward proposals to support our immigrant communities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón noted that immigrants are \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2018/06/19/two-charts-demolish-the-notion-that-immigrants-here-illegally-commit-more-crime/?utm_term=.9e25049221c3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">less likely to commit crimes\u003c/a> than the U.S. born population, and that cities with sanctuary policies are overall \u003ca href=\"https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/immigration/reports/2017/01/26/297366/the-effects-of-sanctuary-policies-on-crime-and-the-economy/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">safer and more economically productive\u003c/a> than their counterparts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The fact that such a proposal is being peddled by the leader of the free world is an all-time low for American discourse, and it’s the clearest sign yet that the president fully intends to chart a path to reelection on the back of racist rhetoric and policies intended to divide us,” Gascón said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguin called the idea “outrageous and unethical.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Rather than supporting a real pathway to citizenship for the millions of immigrants in this country, he is fanning the flames of division,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Trump in recent weeks has discussed the idea of renewing his administration’s controversial family separation policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE is tasked with arresting people living in the country illegally — including some who have been here for decades. Under the Trump administration, ICE has significantly stepped up arrests, including of people who have no U.S. criminal records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The surge of migrant families arriving at the southern border has been taxing the system, forcing ICE to set free more than 125,000 people as they await court hearings — a practice Trump has derided as “catch and release.” With immigrant processing and holding centers overwhelmed, the administration has also been busing people hundreds of miles inland and releasing them at Greyhound stations and churches in cities such as Albuquerque, San Antonio and Phoenix, because towns close to the border already have more than they can handle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response, some cities have banished ICE from jails where agents could easily pick up immigration violators. Police in most sanctuary cities rarely, if ever, disclose information about when suspected criminals in the U.S. illegally will be released from custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were at least two versions of the sanctuary city plan that were considered, according to one of the people familiar with the effort. One would have moved people who had already been detained to places represented by Democratic opponents of the president, while the other would have transported migrants apprehended at the border directly to San Francisco, New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago and other sanctuary cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Post reported that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s district in San Francisco was \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/white-house-proposed-releasing-immigrant-detainees-in-sanctuary-cities-targeting-political-foes/2019/04/11/72839bc8-5c68-11e9-9625-01d48d50ef75_story.html?utm_term=.e53c9cce9bda\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">among the targets\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright noborder\">\n\u003ch2>Major sanctuary cities in California\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"700\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https://mgreen.carto.com/viz/f606fe7c-24fe-11e5-873a-0e853d047bba/embed_map\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The idea is “just another notion that is unworthy of the president of the United States and disrespectful of the challenges we face,” said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats have said they will tackle immigration bills, possibly as soon as they return from their spring recess, and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell has indicated an interest in working on the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leaders in Bay Area sanctuary cities quickly issued statements blasting Trump’s idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Like so many issues we are forced to talk about during this presidency, this isn’t a real idea or a real proposal, it’s just another scare tactic,” San Francisco Mayor London Breed in a statement. “Yes, immigration is an important issue and we need legislative reform, but that’s not what this President is talking about. We are proud to be a Sanctuary City and to continue to put forward proposals to support our immigrant communities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón noted that immigrants are \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2018/06/19/two-charts-demolish-the-notion-that-immigrants-here-illegally-commit-more-crime/?utm_term=.9e25049221c3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">less likely to commit crimes\u003c/a> than the U.S. born population, and that cities with sanctuary policies are overall \u003ca href=\"https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/immigration/reports/2017/01/26/297366/the-effects-of-sanctuary-policies-on-crime-and-the-economy/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">safer and more economically productive\u003c/a> than their counterparts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The fact that such a proposal is being peddled by the leader of the free world is an all-time low for American discourse, and it’s the clearest sign yet that the president fully intends to chart a path to reelection on the back of racist rhetoric and policies intended to divide us,” Gascón said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguin called the idea “outrageous and unethical.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Rather than supporting a real pathway to citizenship for the millions of immigrants in this country, he is fanning the flames of division,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Bennett, a Trump appointee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But that policy argument can be acted upon only by California’s state and municipal political branches of government, or perhaps by Congress — but not by federal judges applying California law as determined by the California Supreme Court.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steinle, 32, was killed as she was walking along a San Francisco pier with her father. She was struck by a single shot from a stolen gun that the defense argued had been accidentally discharged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2017, Lopez-Sanchez, a five-time deportee, was \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/11/30/567625700/jury-in-san-francisco-finds-accused-killer-of-kate-steinle-not-guilty-of-murder\">acquitted\u003c/a> by a San Francisco jury on murder charges, but was found guilty of the lesser charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump called the verdict “disgraceful” in a \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/936437372706836480\">tweet\u003c/a>.

The report states that because the Department of Homeland Security continues to provide the Office of Refugee Resettlement with “limited information about the reasons for these separations,” this may impede the ORR’s ability to determine placements and continue to impact the accuracy of data surrounding separated children.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11722223/toddler-separated-from-family-at-border-is-returned-in-san-francisco\">Toddler Separated From Family at Border Reunited with Mom in San Francisco\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11722223/toddler-separated-from-family-at-border-is-returned-in-san-francisco\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/Sindy_Ortiz_Flores_reunion_013019-1020x765.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Currently, the exact number of children separated from a parent or guardian by immigration authorities is unknown, but according to the Department of Health and Human Services in June, there were more than 2,700 children in its care. Thousands more children may have been separated during an influx that began in 2017 prior to the accounting required by the court however, the report continued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are at least 200 children that have been taken since the judge issued the ban and while there are a handful of cases marked by criminal history, the criteria the Department of Homeland Security is using to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11711704/after-eight-month-separation-an-salvadoran-asylum-seeker-reconnects-with-4-year-old-son\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">justify these separations\u003c/a> is unclear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The continued family separations are functioning in a legal loophole which allows for exceptions when immigration officials believe a parent poses a danger to a child, a policy that previous administrations have sometimes also used to separate children from their families for their protection. But as the House oversight committee learned, federal law doesn’t define what makes a parent a threat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is nothing in law which either precludes arbitrary separation or defines the terms for separations,” said Commander Jonathan White, who used to help run the agency responsible for immigrant children in government care and now works at the U.S. Public Health Service. “Neither is there anything in law that gives us the authority to say that child is not separated after all and refuse a placement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During his testimony, White urged members of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce to pass a law clarifying under what circumstances it’s acceptable to take a child away from a parent. Advocates who testified explained that in some of the recent separations, parents were deemed unfit due to immigration violations or “other reasons,” underscoring White’s concern about the policy’s gray area.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11721246/san-francisco-therapists-help-migrant-families-cope-with-trauma\">San Francisco Therapists Help Migrant Families Cope With Trauma\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11721246/san-francisco-therapists-help-migrant-families-cope-with-trauma\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/RS34846_IMG_9423-qut-1020x652.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>When asked if he would have advised the Department of Homeland Security to implement the zero-tolerance policy, White said, “Neither I nor any career person in ORR would ever have supported such a policy proposal. … Separating children from their parents poses a significant risk of traumatic psychological injury to the child.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alan Gomez, an immigration reporter for USA Today, told KQED the current separation policy “is a very gray area and it’s very hard to understand what’s happening.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the fact that Judge Sabraw — the federal judge who ordered the administration to reunite these families — insisted that a system be left in place to track these children and their guardians, there is no integrated database among Homeland Security, the Department of Health and Human Services and ICE to speak of, Gomez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
