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.",

According to a witness account, several pickups full of mafiosos recently screeched to a stop in front of a government-contracted bus that had just left the central bus station. They ordered a dozen migrants off the bus, ordered them into their vehicles, and drove off, leaving the rest of the passengers shocked and frantic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cesar Antunes was on an earlier bus that departed, just before the bus that was ambushed. Antunes said he learned what happened to the second bus when both buses arrived in Monterrey and he spoke with one of the remaining passengers who witnessed the abductions. Antunes related the terrifying tale to NPR on his mobile phone from a city in Northern Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Nuevo Laredo is more dangerous than San Pedro Sula, Honduras,\" Antunes says, \"which is where I fled from.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Mexican government has been cooperating with Trump's immigration agenda after the president threatened that country with steep tariffs in June.

The chief investigator for the Office for Disappeared Persons in Nuevo Laredo, Edwin Aceves Garcia, said in an interview: \"We have received no reports of kidnappings and extortion of migrants. Those are just rumors. You can't believe everything those people say.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the case of Aaron Mendez, the kidnapped pastor, a spokesman for the state prosecutor's office in Ciudad Victoria said he remains missing and the investigation continues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the brazen crimes committed against migrants stuck in Nuevo Laredo, some of them are abandoning their asylum requests and returning home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's dangerous here.

Then, as she tells it, when they arrived at the Nuevo Laredo bus station last month, young men with tattoos and ball caps grabbed her and her son and held them prisoner for three weeks in a succession of safe houses.

If approved, the rule would eliminate a key part of a court settlement from 1997 that limits the detention of unaccompanied minors to 20 days in federal custody. Administration officials argue the new rule is necessary to deter mass migration at the border. But it’s likely to face legal challenges from immigration advocates such as the ACLU, which denounced the move as “another attack on children.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tyche Hendricks, KQED immigration editor\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Professor Bill Ong Hing, University of San Francisco School of Law\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Helping Students With Anxiety\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Throughout the Bay Area, classrooms are buzzing with activity and lesson plans as students return from their summer break to start a new school year. But these days, a lot of students are struggling with anxiety on top of their academics. Whether it’s the pressure to perform academically, online bullying or mass shootings on campus and public spaces, triggers for feeling overwhelmed or anxious abound. Parents and teachers can also miss warning signs and wrestle with when and how to intervene. Fortunately, at one East Bay high school, students are learning coping strategies and getting support from social workers to feel less stressed and overwhelmed. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Katrina Schwartz, co-host, KQED’s MindShift podcast\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Professor Janelle Scott, Graduate School of Education, UC Berkeley \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003cb>“The North Pole”\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Benny Ramirez and his three friends face challenges and forge creative solutions as they navigate life in North Oakland on “The North Pole,” a web series streaming on YouTube.

If approved, the rule would eliminate a key part of a court settlement from 1997 that limits the detention of unaccompanied minors to 20 days in federal custody. Administration officials argue the new rule is necessary to deter mass migration at the border. But it’s likely to face legal challenges from immigration advocates such as the ACLU, which denounced the move as “another attack on children.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tyche Hendricks, KQED immigration editor\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Professor Bill Ong Hing, University of San Francisco School of Law\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Helping Students With Anxiety\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Throughout the Bay Area, classrooms are buzzing with activity and lesson plans as students return from their summer break to start a new school year. But these days, a lot of students are struggling with anxiety on top of their academics. Whether it’s the pressure to perform academically, online bullying or mass shootings on campus and public spaces, triggers for feeling overwhelmed or anxious abound. Parents and teachers can also miss warning signs and wrestle with when and how to intervene.
