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.",

The Department of Homeland Security's Office of the Inspector General has repeatedly criticized the company for cutting corners on its investigations, conducting improper interviews, and producing \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/assets/2018-06/OIG-18-67-Jun18.pdf\">inaccurate reports\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one instance, the government watchdog said \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/assets/Mga/2018/oig-18-86-sep18.pdf\">ICE failed to take seriously the problem of braided bed sheets\u003c/a> hanging in detainee cells. It said similar braided sheets had been used as a noose in one suicide and in several other attempts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For many critics, Nakamoto's failures cited in the government reports help explain why unsanitary, harsh conditions at the detention centers persist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/07/02/738179391/dhs-inspector-general-finds-dangerous-overcrowding-in-border-patrol-facilities\">Public scrutiny of detention \u003c/a>facilities continues to increase. Meanwhile, the population of those detained at ICE's facilities last month reached an \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/detention-management\">all-time high of 54,000\u003c/a>. At the same time, there are persistent questions from the inspector general about whether ICE is properly overseeing the contractors that run a majority of the agency's facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/06/30/736940431/under-siege-and-largely-secret-businesses-that-serve-immigration-detention\">ICE relies heavily on private industry\u003c/a> in nearly every aspect of its operation. Outside contractors GEO Group and CoreCivic operate most of ICE's adult detention centers. For the last eight years, Nakamoto has been charged with conducting annual inspections of ICE detention centers, including those run by GEO and CoreCivic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's really not an exaggeration to say that there is basically no meaningful accountability or oversight for the companies who are involved,\" says Heidi Altman, director of policy at the National Immigrant Justice Center, an immigrant rights group. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DHS inspector general not only \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/assets/2018-06/OIG-18-67-Jun18.pdf\">criticized Nakamoto's work\u003c/a>, it also faulted ICE for not properly overseeing Nakamoto. \"ICE does not adequately hold detention facility contractors accountable for not meeting performance standards,\" the inspector general wrote in its \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/assets/2019-02/OIG-19-18-Jan19.pdf\">latest report in January\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The result, critics say, is that detainees are subject to everything from solitary confinement to negligent medical care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kidd, the 24-year-old former Adelanto detainee, says he filed grievances about his experiences. (Kidd married in December; prior to that his last name was Sorto.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kidd's Honduran mother brought him to the U.S. when he was 9. He was supposed to be protected from deportation under DACA, or the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, but ICE agents arrested him outside his apartment because of a DUI charge that was later expunged from his record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kidd says the treatment at Adelanto was inhumane. One day, during an evacuation, he says a guard screamed obscenities, calling him and his fellow detainees names.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I mean, that's when I kind of lost it,\" Kidd says. \"I just said, 'You cannot call me that, you cannot treat us like animals, because we're not.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For this, Kidd says he was briefly taken to a solitary confinement room called \"Bravo.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In Bravo, there was nobody watching in there,\" Kidd says. \"You'd see people come out of there with bruises. I saw them come out of there with bruises.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kidd filed grievances under ICE procedures with GEO Group, which ran the facility. He says GEO promised to interview his fellow detainees about the mistreatment, but never did. He says GEO dismissed his complaint. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='news_11736531,news_11728992' label='Coverage of Immigration Detention From KQED']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE did not respond to requests seeking comment about Kidd's claims. GEO referred questions regarding the case to ICE.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kidd's attorney, Sabrina Damast, says such treatment and conditions should have alarmed inspectors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Nakamoto inspectors reported no problems at Adelanto in 2017 and \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/doclib/facilityInspections/adelantoEastCa_CL_10_11_2018.pdf\">2018\u003c/a>. For the last eight years, the company has held the contract to inspect conditions at more than 100 ICE facilities, including Adelanto. (Nakamoto inspections from previous years have not been made public.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last time ICE's own Office of Detention Oversight reviewed Adelanto was \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/doclib/foia/odo-compliance-inspections/2014AdelantoJuly.pdf\">in 2014\u003c/a>. That year, ICE's internal review found the facility already fell short in six areas, including how it addressed sexual assault, its handling of detainee grievances and its food service. (Earlier this year, NPR sued the City of Adelanto seeking access to documents regarding conditions at that facility.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE declined an interview. But its spokeswoman Danielle Bennett says the agency \u003cem>has \u003c/em>improved since the inspector general's reports. In an emailed statement, Bennett said senior ICE officials now accompany Nakamoto investigators during their reviews. ICE, she notes, has multiple layers of oversight, including local staff stationed in each facility. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='immigration-detention' label='Related Coverage']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bennett says the agency is also holding contractors accountable. Between December 2018 and March 2019, she says, financial penalties against the contractors totaled $500,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But one former senior ICE official told NPR the changes Bennett points out are minor. The bigger problem is ICE has no incentive to acknowledge problems. One of ICE's \u003ca href=\"https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/19_0318_MGMT_CBJ-Annual-Performance-Review-DHS-Overview_0.pdf\">performance goals\u003c/a> is for all of its detention centers to pass inspection — and the former official, who requested anonymity to protect future employment prospects, says Nakamoto is well aware of the pressures to meet that target.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nakamoto is a private firm based outside Washington, D.C. Its Japanese American owner, Jennifer Nakamoto, frequently credits her family's experience in World War II internment camps with shaping her company's mission. The company's inspections contract with ICE started in 2011. According to USAspending, the federal government's contracting database, the potential value of Nakamoto's contract was $116 million last fiscal year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Claudia Valenzuela is an attorney with the American Immigration Council, an immigrant advocacy group. She's filed lawsuits seeking information about ICE and its contractors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think there should be more public scrutiny of Nakamoto,\" Valenzuela says. \"How did it obtain the contract? How does this company continue to hold that contract?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Nakamoto says it stands by its performance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an email, Nakamoto Vice President Mark Saunders said, \"we have made it abundantly clear that we are in no way political, and we have no agenda other than to do our work.\" He declined an interview, saying the company has already addressed negative allegations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last fall, Sen. Elizabeth Warren and other Democrats asked Nakamoto \u003ca href=\"https://www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/2018-11-16%20Letter%20to%20Nakamoto%20Group%20re%20ICE%20Detention%20Facility%20Inspections.pdf\">to respond to problems\u003c/a> raised in the inspector general's reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Attachment%203a%20-%20Response%20Letter%20from%20Nakamoto%20Group.pdf\">In her response\u003c/a>, Jennifer Nakamoto quoted from her own company's report, calling the watchdog investigators inexperienced and their findings an \"embarrassment\" to their office. She disputes many of the facts in the reports. She wrote about her mother's birth in an internment camp, saying she and her family have battled prejudice all their lives. \"Without question,\" she wrote, \"the detained immigrant population as a whole has a better life because of what Nakamoto does.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That response has not mollified critics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brian Cohen, Warren's oversight and investigations director, says neither Nakamoto nor ICE has shown interest in making changes. He says ICE has also not responded to follow up inquiries sent \u003ca href=\"https://www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/2019-04-15%20Letter%20to%20ICE%20re%20Private%20Immigration%20Contractors%20CoreCivic%20GEO%20Group%20and%20Nakamoto%20Group.pdf\">in April\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/2019.06.20%20Letter%20to%20ICE%20regarding%20the%20use%20of%20solitary%20confinement%20at%20immigration%20detention%20facilities.pdf\">June\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we concluded from all this mess is that still, nobody's taken responsibility,\" Cohen says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nakamoto's contract with ICE is set to expire in September.

The policy aims to reduce the influx of Central American migrants seeking refuge at the southern border, which officials say is overwhelming the country's immigration system. Exceptions are included for people who were denied protection claims elsewhere, were victims of human trafficking, or have traveled through countries that have not signed major international treaties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked about the lawsuit by KQED, Homeland Security declined to comment and the Justice Department didn't respond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The United States is a generous country but is being completely overwhelmed by the burdens associated with apprehending and processing hundreds of thousands of aliens along the southern border,\" Attorney General William Barr said Monday in a statement announcing the new policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Top officials with the administration maintain \"loopholes\" in current laws allow asylum-seekers to be released into the U.S. while their claims are decided by a judge — a process that can take years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The third-country rule comes just days after a widely publicized Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation to arrest and deport 2,000 migrants was set to begin in major cities.

"content": "\u003cp>Several members of Congress from California over the weekend visited detention facilities holding migrants in the Texas border cities of McAllen and Brownsville. Among them was Bay Area Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Hillsborough, who documented the visit on \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/RepSpeier?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter\u003c/a>. One of her photos shows a minor behind caged fencing holding a toddler in a onesie. Another image captures a group of young men behind glass with their hands clasped together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speier spoke about the trip with KQED’s Mina Kim on Monday. Here is an excerpt of their conversation and photos from Speier's Twitter feed:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mina Kim\u003c/strong>: That image of the young men behind glass at a holding station in McAllen — what were they trying to communicate with you?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jackie Speier\u003c/strong>: Well, one of the images is of them with their hands in prayer asking for relief. I mean, these are men who have been apprehended, have been there as much as 60 days in very small, cramped cells that normally house, I'd say, five to 10 people. And now there were 40 men. They were taking turns lying on the concrete floor to rest. But they had been there for 40 days without a shower and without a toothbrush to brush their teeth. And I must say that I found it so subhuman, and as I looked at them I realized that if we had dogs kenneled in those cells, the American Humane Society would shut it down instantly because it is so repugnant of everything we believe in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/RepSpeier/status/1150767820558479360\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/RepSpeier/status/1150769502612787201\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim\u003c/strong>: Vice President Mike Pence also went to McAllen, Texas, and visited a Border Patrol station there. He told reporters he couldn't be more proud of the agents at the facility and that every American should be proud and that he wasn't surprised by what he was seeing, that it was tough stuff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Speier\u003c/strong>: Well, it is tough stuff. But I can't imagine any American looking at the photos that I've posted thinking that they're proud of what we are doing to these people. It is reprehensible. Meanwhile, we're spending $24 billion a year on these services now for immigration enforcement. It is 34% more than all the money we're spending on services like the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Agency, the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agency, the Secret Service and the U.S. Marshals Service. So most of these people could be sent with ankle bracelets to their family members somewhere in the United States waiting for their asylum hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/RepSpeier/status/1150122304497733637\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/RepSpeier/status/1150127768413331467\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/RepSpeier/status/1150807279920451584\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim\u003c/strong>: Is that how we fix this? Is that the solution to these overcrowded conditions?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Speier\u003c/strong>: Well, we have to fix it by creating an environment where people aren't treated like animals. We have to then expedite the process by which their asylum hearings are being held. There's an 800,000 case backlog right now [and] we don't have sufficient immigration judges. And even though we have passed emergency supplemental funds for immigration enforcement, one of the guards told me that it will take eight months before the first new additional member will be hired because of the time it takes to process those who come forward and apply for these jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/RepSpeier/status/1150516189824737285\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/RepSpeier/status/1150486503765811200\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Here is an excerpt of their conversation and photos from Speier's Twitter feed:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mina Kim\u003c/strong>: That image of the young men behind glass at a holding station in McAllen — what were they trying to communicate with you?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jackie Speier\u003c/strong>: Well, one of the images is of them with their hands in prayer asking for relief. I mean, these are men who have been apprehended, have been there as much as 60 days in very small, cramped cells that normally house, I'd say, five to 10 people. And now there were 40 men. They were taking turns lying on the concrete floor to rest. But they had been there for 40 days without a shower and without a toothbrush to brush their teeth. And I must say that I found it so subhuman, and as I looked at them I realized that if we had dogs kenneled in those cells, the American Humane Society would shut it down instantly because it is so repugnant of everything we believe in.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But I can't imagine any American looking at the photos that I've posted thinking that they're proud of what we are doing to these people. It is reprehensible. Meanwhile, we're spending $24 billion a year on these services now for immigration enforcement. It is 34% more than all the money we're spending on services like the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Agency, the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agency, the Secret Service and the U.S. Marshals Service. So most of these people could be sent with ankle bracelets to their family members somewhere in the United States waiting for their asylum hearing.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

While the median household income for Latinos in the U.S. is now over $50,000 a year, it doesn’t get you much in California, she said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='income-inequality' label='The cost of living in California']\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“The high cost of housing in California is something that really threatens economic stability,” Vallejo said. “It’s not just the fact that home ownership costs are high. Even having to pay high rents can prevent people from saving to buy a home.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">reported last year \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">that Latinos in California have a lower rate of home ownership than in other states where Latinos represent more than 30 percent of the population. This includes states like Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, where Latino median household income is lower than it is in California.

Her job doesn’t pay over the summer, and her husband’s hours aren’t steady. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The hours are not the same as they used to be,” Perez said of her husband’s job. “He will work maybe five days out of the week, sometimes four days out of the week.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11760868\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11760868\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38056__DSF3064-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38056__DSF3064-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38056__DSF3064-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38056__DSF3064-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38056__DSF3064-qut-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38056__DSF3064-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Elvira Rodriguez, a volunteer at the food bank, unpacks a box full of orange juice.

A 2017 report from Pew Charitable Trusts found that Latinos and people with a high school diploma or less are the most likely to face income losses from unsteady earnings. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lack of savings and emergency funds also makes it difficult for families to establish good credit, Alvarez said. Adding to this challenge is the fact that while banking rates for Latinos are gradually improving, according to federal data, many remain unbanked or under-banked. \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to the federal FDIC\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, 14 percent of Latinos in 2017 did not use banking services. This is especially true among foreign-born, first-generation immigrants.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the second generation, extended-family obligations can be a drag on finances, such as when a parent or other family member needs money for unexpected medical costs or an emergency expense, Alvarez said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And that makes it more difficult for you to actually meet your own bills,” Alvarez said. “So the next thing you know, you’re late on your credit card bill, or your car loan.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11760880\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11760880 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38054__DSF2931-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38054__DSF2931-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38054__DSF2931-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38054__DSF2931-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38054__DSF2931-qut-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38054__DSF2931-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A cart loaded with fresh vegetables, eggs, and milk at the Downey Food Bank.

But recent policies have made it more difficult for people to adjust their immigration status. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the church in Downey, food bank volunteer Catherine Alvarez said she’s sponsoring her husband for a green card. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s undocumented, so it’s really difficult for him to get a job and stay there for the long term,” said Alvarez, a Downey resident who was born in Colombia and is a naturalized U.S. citizen. “As soon as they don’t need him, they just let him go.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alvarez says her family of four has struggled to stay as renters in Downey, a city that’s long been a draw for middle-class Latinos, with its quiet residential streets and well-regarded schools. They wanted to keep their two teen boys in school there. But in recent years she’s had health problems that have required surgery and kept her from working, she said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her husband takes all the work he can, from construction to odd jobs: “If he needs to clean a toilet, he’ll do it,” Alvarez said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='large' align='right' citation='Janette Perez, Downey mother of two']‘Our rent is like $1,375, and our car payment is almost $500, so we can’t afford anything right now.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But at times it hasn’t been enough. About three years ago, when the family was hit with medical bills, they lost the apartment they were living in. They had to stay with friends and sometimes even in their car until they could raise enough to move into a new place, Alvarez said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’s hopeful that if her husband gets legal status, it could change their fortunes. But she worries: What if he’s denied? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I get sad because I don’t know,” Alvarez said. “I don’t know what’s going to happen.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the pathways to middle-class status becoming rockier, will future generations of California’s Latino families have a harder time cracking the ceiling?

Even having to pay high rents can prevent people from saving to buy a home.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">reported last year \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">that Latinos in California have a lower rate of home ownership than in other states where Latinos represent more than 30 percent of the population. This includes states like Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, where Latino median household income is lower than it is in California. Housing affordability is a major factor. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waiting her turn for groceries at the church, Perez said she and her husband wish they could buy a home, “so that my children have somewhere to live, so they won’t struggle the way we did,” she said.

Her job doesn’t pay over the summer, and her husband’s hours aren’t steady. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The hours are not the same as they used to be,” Perez said of her husband’s job. “He will work maybe five days out of the week, sometimes four days out of the week.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11760868\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11760868\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38056__DSF3064-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38056__DSF3064-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38056__DSF3064-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38056__DSF3064-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38056__DSF3064-qut-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38056__DSF3064-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Elvira Rodriguez, a volunteer at the food bank, unpacks a box full of orange juice.

Debbie Lesko, R-Ariz., disputed charges that some of those being held at a Border Patrol facility in Texas were forced to drink water from toilets. “Please, American public,” Lesko said, “there is no one asking people to drink out of toilets.” She referred to a video from the Arizona Border Patrol showing an agent touring a facility and drinking water from a sink above a toilet unit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., who made that accusation in a news conference after visiting a Texas CBP facility earlier this month, stood by her claim. After taking the unusual step of asking to be sworn in before testifying — something not required of the lawmakers — Ocasio-Cortez said when some of the women being held at the facility said they were told to drink from a toilet because the sink was broken, “I believe these women.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lesko And Ocasio-Cortez: Dueling Testimony On Facility Condition\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https://www.npr.org/templates/event/embeddedVideo.php?storyId=739530731&mediaId=741159400\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003cbr>\n Ocasio-Cortez said there were American flags hanging at all of these facilities. “That children being separated from their parents in front of an American flag, that women were being called these names under an American flag,” she said. “We cannot allow for this.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The panel also heard testimony from the Department of Homeland Security’s acting inspector general, Jennifer Costello, whose office found “serious overcrowding and prolonged detention in Border Patrol facilities requiring immediate attention.” The findings are detailed in a report released earlier this month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The committee released its own report on Friday, charging the Trump administration’s child separation policy is “more harmful, traumatic, and chaotic than previously known.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Director of Columbia Law School’s Immigrants’ Rights Clinic Elora Mukherjee spoke about the dozens of detained children whom she and her colleagues interviewed in June at the Clint Border Patrol facility in Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was and I remain shaken to my core by what I witnessed at Clint,” said Mukherjee, who has been working with detained families and children on the southern border for 12 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mukherjee: ‘What I Heard, What I Saw And What I Smelled’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https://www.npr.org/templates/event/embeddedVideo.php?storyId=739530731&mediaId=741206570\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003cbr>\n Former Immigration and Customs Enforcement acting Director Thomas Homan told the panel, “The biggest problem involves the unwillingness of Congress to address the loopholes that are causing this crisis.” He said calls for action have been met by deaf ears. “It’s about [an] open borders agenda, resisting our president — more interest in that than securing our border,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., said, “There is no excuse for how we are treating children.
