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.",

She was the editor for Truth Be Told, an advice show for and by people of color. \r\n\r\nHer stories about race, space, and belonging were part of KQED's So Well Spoken project, which won RNDTA's Kaleidoscope award, honoring outstanding achievements in the coverage of diversity.\r\n\r\nPrior to joining KQED in 2015, Sandhya covered the 2012 presidential election from the swing state of Iowa for Iowa Public Radio. At KPBS in San Diego, she broke the story of a sexual harassment scandal that led to the mayor's resignation.\r\n\r\nShe got her start in radio working on documentaries about Oakland that investigated the high drop-out rate in public schools and mistrust between the police and the community.\r\n\r\nSandhya lives in Oakland and believes all stories are stories about power.",

"headTitle": "Immigration Court Bill Would Give Judges Independence, Tackle 1.6 Million Case Backlog | KQED",
"content": "\u003cp>San Jose Rep. Zoe Lofgren is introducing a bill today to transform the nation’s troubled immigration courts and protect them from partisan influence by making them independent of the Department of Justice, which is led by the U.S. attorney general — the nation’s top law enforcement officer and a political appointee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill would create a new immigration court system under Article I of the U.S. Constitution, giving it independent status akin to bankruptcy or tax courts. It would include measures to ensure that judges are qualified and impartial, that rulings and court procedures are transparent to the public, and that the court’s budget does not depend on approval by the executive branch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a lot at stake in immigration court, yet the current system is not structured to deliver justice fairly, said Lofgren, a former immigration lawyer and chair of the House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Immigration and Citizenship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You could be separated from your family for the rest of your life. In the case of asylum, if a decision is made incorrectly, it quite literally could result in death,” she said. “[Yet] the judges themselves are appointed by the Department of Justice. They’re not at all independent. So it’s not a real court in the way we think of, and the stakes are very, very high.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The current system, formally known as the \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/eoir\">Executive Office of Immigration Review\u003c/a>, is also plagued by underfunding, an unprecedented backlog of 1.6 million cases, and a lack of protections for the rights of immigrants who appear in court to request asylum or fight deportation, observers say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Separating the courts from the political pressure of the president and attorney general — regardless of party — is an important step in bringing legitimacy and fairness to immigration decisions, said \u003ca href=\"https://law.scu.edu/faculty/profile/gulasekaram-pratheepan/\">Pratheepan Gulasekaram\u003c/a>, a professor of constitutional law and immigration law at Santa Clara University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When people hear the word ‘court,’ they generally think of a state court where you have district attorneys, defense attorneys, where — everyone knows about Miranda rights — if you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you,” he said. “What I don’t think people understand is that none of those Bill of Rights protections — that you see in police procedural shows on television — apply in immigration courts. And I think just the fact that you have legislation that highlights how bankrupt this system is … is a great service.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An \u003ca href=\"https://rollcall.com/2022/01/19/congress-mulls-independent-immigration-courts-as-backlog-soars/\">independent court\u003c/a> system has long been sought by the immigration judges union. Under former President Donald Trump, attorneys general stripped the judges of their authority to control their dockets, imposed case completion quotas and took steps to dismantle their union. The administration of President Joe Biden has acted to reverse these moves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The DOJ’s control over the courts has yielded extreme pendulum swings, and our apolitical judges are reeling as they navigate their judicial responsibilities on the one hand and heavy political scrutiny,” said Mimi Tsankov, president of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.naij-usa.org/\">National Association of Immigration Judges\u003c/a>, at a hearing last month before the House immigration subcommittee. An independent Article I immigration court is “a good government solution,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The American Bar Association, the Federal Bar Association and the American Immigration Lawyers Association also support an independent immigration court system, and worked with Lofgren’s staff to craft the new bill. It’s the first such legislation in over 20 years, according to a Lofgren aide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='news_11883227']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the proposal, appellate judges would be appointed to staggered 15-year terms by the president and confirmed by the Senate, and would in turn appoint trial court judges. One third of the appellate judges would be appointed every five years to ensure that no one president could choose an outsized share of them, protecting the court from undue political influence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The courts would be required to contract with nonprofit organizations to give legal orientations explaining the law and court procedures to everyone appearing in court. Immigrants would have the right to be represented by a lawyer, as they do now, but the bill does not propose providing counsel at government expense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If enacted, the bill could help reduce the historic backlog in the courts by giving judges greater power to set aside cases where an immigrant is waiting for the government to process a green card or another legal way to remain in the country. But Lofgren acknowledged it would not eliminate it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department of Homeland Security would still control how many cases it chooses to prosecute. However, last May, Biden administration officials restored the discretion that Immigration and Customs Enforcement prosecutors had during the Obama years to focus on deporting recently arrived unauthorized immigrants and those who pose a threat to national security or public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another measure that could affect court backlogs is a not-yet-final rule the Biden administration has proposed that would shift most asylum claims out of the immigration court system and decide them at the DHS asylum office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lofgren admitted that it could be an uphill battle to pass the bill in a polarized Congress. She said legal organizations had identified a number of Republicans who were open to the bill but unwilling to commit to be co-sponsors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>“\u003c/b>I finally thought, I’m just going to introduce it myself, get it out there, and then people can see what it is and get comfortable with it,” she said. \u003cb>“\u003c/b>It’s quite possible it won’t happen in this Congress. It may take more than one Congress, but it’s important to get the idea out there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overhauling the courts is not a particularly partisan issue, said Gulasekaram, and pitching a stand-alone bill could potentially get more bipartisan support than if it were attached to a larger immigration reform effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>“\u003c/b>It might be the case that lots of people from different parts of our political spectrum are interested in lowering the backlog in immigration courts and making adjudications more fair,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But at last month’s hearing, Republicans on the immigration subcommittee were dismissive of an independent court system. Instead, they sought to focus attention on the U.S.-Mexico border, where asylum seekers from Central America and elsewhere have arrived in large numbers, and use that to attack Biden and Democrats for what they called “open border” policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Lofgren said she’s determined to get the issue into the public eye.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You never know when immigration issues touch your community or your family,” she said. “We should all be for the rule of law, and that’s what this is about. And I hope that it prevails.\u003ci>”\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\n",

One third of the appellate judges would be appointed every five years to ensure that no one president could choose an outsized share of them, protecting the court from undue political influence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The courts would be required to contract with nonprofit organizations to give legal orientations explaining the law and court procedures to everyone appearing in court. Immigrants would have the right to be represented by a lawyer, as they do now, but the bill does not propose providing counsel at government expense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If enacted, the bill could help reduce the historic backlog in the courts by giving judges greater power to set aside cases where an immigrant is waiting for the government to process a green card or another legal way to remain in the country.

In a statement Sunday, Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard, D-Calif., said: \"A cap on ICE detention beds will force the Trump administration to prioritize deportation for criminals and people who pose real security threats, not law-abiding immigrants who are contributing to our country.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roybal-Allard chairs the House Appropriations subcommittee on homeland security and is a member of the House-Senate conference committee trying to reach an agreement on spending levels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats want to limit to 16,500 the number of beds used in the interior of the country, where ICE places people it arrests who have overstayed their visas or committed misdemeanor crimes. Roybal-Allard charges the Trump administration with:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"pursuing an out-of-control deportation policy focused on removing immigrants with no criminal records, many of whom have deep roots in their communities. This approach is cruel and wrong. A cap on detention beds associated with interior enforcement will rein in the Trump administration's deportation agenda.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Democrats say a cap of 16,500 would restore immigration enforcement to levels in place at the end of the Obama administration. A House Democratic aide speaking on background said Democratic and Republican negotiators had agreed to reduce funding overall for ICE detentions to a range between 34,000 and 38,500 beds by the end of the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a briefing call on Monday, ICE Deputy Director Matt Albence said any cap on detention beds would be \"extremely damaging to public safety.\" He said ICE is currently detaining 20,000 to 22,000 individuals in the interior of the country, away from the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11606390/map-where-ice-detains-people\">MAP: Where ICE Detains Immigrants\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11606390/map-where-ice-detains-people\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/DetentionCenterMap.jpg\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/trump-should-take-2b-in-wall-funding-as-down-payment-lindsey-graham-says\">Sunday interview on Fox Business\u003c/a>, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said of the Democratic position, \"Not only is it enough they want to abolish ICE. They want to abolish the bed spaces available to the country to house violent offenders so they can be held and deported.\" Graham added, \"I promise you this: Donald Trump is not going to sign any bill that reduces the number of bed spaces available to hold violent offenders who come across our border. He can't do that. He won't do that, and you can take that to the bank.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump tweeted on Monday that \"The Democrats do not want us to detain, or send back, criminal aliens! This is a brand new demand. Crazy!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Democrats say they want nothing of the sort. Roybal-Allard said the cap will ensure that the Trump administration \"targets violent felons and other people who pose security risks for deportation, instead of pursuing reckless mass deportation policies that actually make us less safe.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.
