"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

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>With days to go before the midterm elections, President Trump continues to ratchet up his rhetoric on immigration. The president’s latest target is asylum-seekers, whom he accuses of exploiting “loopholes” in U.S. immigration laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a televised speech from the White House on Thursday, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/11/01/663012881/in-broad-attack-on-asylum-seekers-trump-takes-campaign-message-to-white-house\">Trump threatened to close the Southwest border to asylum-seekers\u003c/a> — including the latest group of Central American migrants making their way through Mexico — unless they present themselves at official ports of entry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But refugee and asylum experts say his plan would violate \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/ilink/docView/SLB/HTML/SLB/0-0-0-1/0-0-0-29/0-0-0-1687.html#0-0-0-192\">U.S. law\u003c/a>. They say the president’s remarks about asylum were riddled with inaccuracies and misleading statements intended to stoke fear of immigrants and drive the president’s supporters to the polls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’ll focus here on five statements President Trump made Thursday in the Roosevelt Room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. An overwhelming influx\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“The current influx, if not halted, threatens to overwhelm our immigration system and our communities, and poses unacceptable dangers to the entire nation.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The total number of migrants apprehended at the Southwest border was actually down slightly last year, to about 521,000, and remains far below the kind of apprehension numbers that were routine in the 1990s and 2000s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Trump administration argues that the current “crisis” is the result of a major shift in who is showing up at the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A generation ago, migrants apprehended at the border were largely single adults, mostly from Mexico, who could be deported relatively quickly after they were caught. Today migrants are much more likely to be coming from Central America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/10/23/660010173/u-s-apprehended-record-number-of-migrant-families-at-southwest-border\">a record number of apprehended migrants were part of family units\u003c/a>. That means they have greater protections under U.S. law. In practice, many of these asylum-seekers are released into the U.S. to await their day in court, which can take months or years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. No more “catch and release”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“These policies lead to the release of illegal aliens into our communities after they’ve been apprehended. But we’re not releasing anymore. Big change, as of a couple of days ago. We’re going to no longer release. We’re going to catch; we’re not going to release. They’re going to stay with us until the deportation hearing or the asylum hearing takes place. So we’re not releasing them into the community.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In fact, under U.S. law, migrant families who have requested asylum are not considered illegal immigrants. And they are being released in large numbers up and down the border. In El Paso, Texas, Ruben Garcia, director of a local shelter called Annunciation House, told reporter Mallory Falk of member station KRWG the shelter had received 332 people Thursday released from immigration custody and are expecting 225 more Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Arizona, Matthew Casey of member station KJZZ spoke with an official at Capellania Cristiana Llamados Para Servir, an organization working with churches in metropolitan Phoenix. The official confirmed the organization expects 90 families at two different churches on Friday and 400 more migrants from Yuma to start arriving in Phoenix late this weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These migrant families are generally released to join relatives in other parts of the country and will be issued a Notice to Appear in immigration court for their asylum hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. They never show up\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Then they never show up, almost. It’s like a level of 3 percent. They never show up for the trial. So by the time their trial comes, they’re gone. Nobody knows where they are.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Actually, the majority of asylum-seekers do show up to court. According to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/eoir/page/file/fysb16/download\">Department of Justice statistics for the 2016 fiscal year\u003c/a>, only about 2 in 5 cases were decided in absentia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigrant-rights advocates say the number of asylum-seekers who do show up would be even higher if they had attorneys and more support from court staff to let them know when and where to show up. They point to a pilot program that was \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/07/18/629496174/alternatives-to-detention-are-cheaper-than-jails-but-cases-take-far-longer\">highly successful at getting immigrants to show up in court\u003c/a> before it was canceled by the Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. Abusing asylum\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“This endemic abuse of the asylum system makes a mockery of our immigration system, displacing legitimate asylum-seekers — and there are legitimate asylum-seekers — while rewarding those who abuse or defraud our system, which is almost everybody. Everybody is abusing it.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Immigration lawyers say this is a wild exaggeration. It’s true that only a fraction of all asylum claims are actually successful. Last year, \u003ca href=\"http://trac.syr.edu/immigration/reports/491/\">immigration courts rejected more than 60 percent of asylum claims\u003c/a>, a number that has been steadily rising since 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration argues that rejection rate is itself evidence of fraud. But immigrants-rights advocates dispute that. They say immigration courts are supposed to decide each asylum case on its own merits and that the low acceptance rate is simply evidence that the system is working — and that asylum cases are not easy to win.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. It’s an invasion\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Some people call it an invasion. It’s like an invasion. … These are tough people, in many cases. A lot of young men, strong men.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The president has claimed repeatedly, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/10/23/659917659/fact-check-president-trumps-false-claims-on-migrant-caravan-tax-cuts\">without evidence\u003c/a>, that the migrants include dangerous criminals and “unknown Middle Easterners.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But reporters on the ground say the migrants comprise mainly women and children who are fleeing from violence and extreme poverty in Central America. Refugee and asylum experts accuse the president of fearmongering to rally his political base for the midterm elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a “tragic irony” in portraying the asylum-seekers as a marauding army, said Karen Musalo, director of the Center for Gender and Refugee Studies at U.C. Hastings College of the Law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Individuals have come together to walk north in a caravan because the journey north for asylum-seekers has been so dangerous,” Musalo said in an interview. “These are very vulnerable individuals, desperately fleeing violence, who have come together as a group to have the protection and solidarity of each other.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

The president’s latest target is asylum-seekers, whom he accuses of exploiting “loopholes” in U.S. immigration laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a televised speech from the White House on Thursday, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/11/01/663012881/in-broad-attack-on-asylum-seekers-trump-takes-campaign-message-to-white-house\">Trump threatened to close the Southwest border to asylum-seekers\u003c/a> — including the latest group of Central American migrants making their way through Mexico — unless they present themselves at official ports of entry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But refugee and asylum experts say his plan would violate \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/ilink/docView/SLB/HTML/SLB/0-0-0-1/0-0-0-29/0-0-0-1687.html#0-0-0-192\">U.S. law\u003c/a>. They say the president’s remarks about asylum were riddled with inaccuracies and misleading statements intended to stoke fear of immigrants and drive the president’s supporters to the polls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’ll focus here on five statements President Trump made Thursday in the Roosevelt Room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. An overwhelming influx\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“The current influx, if not halted, threatens to overwhelm our immigration system and our communities, and poses unacceptable dangers to the entire nation.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The total number of migrants apprehended at the Southwest border was actually down slightly last year, to about 521,000, and remains far below the kind of apprehension numbers that were routine in the 1990s and 2000s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Trump administration argues that the current “crisis” is the result of a major shift in who is showing up at the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A generation ago, migrants apprehended at the border were largely single adults, mostly from Mexico, who could be deported relatively quickly after they were caught. Today migrants are much more likely to be coming from Central America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/10/23/660010173/u-s-apprehended-record-number-of-migrant-families-at-southwest-border\">a record number of apprehended migrants were part of family units\u003c/a>. That means they have greater protections under U.S. law. In practice, many of these asylum-seekers are released into the U.S. to await their day in court, which can take months or years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. No more “catch and release”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“These policies lead to the release of illegal aliens into our communities after they’ve been apprehended. But we’re not releasing anymore. Big change, as of a couple of days ago. We’re going to no longer release. We’re going to catch; we’re not going to release. They’re going to stay with us until the deportation hearing or the asylum hearing takes place. So we’re not releasing them into the community.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In fact, under U.S. law, migrant families who have requested asylum are not considered illegal immigrants. And they are being released in large numbers up and down the border. In El Paso, Texas, Ruben Garcia, director of a local shelter called Annunciation House, told reporter Mallory Falk of member station KRWG the shelter had received 332 people Thursday released from immigration custody and are expecting 225 more Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Arizona, Matthew Casey of member station KJZZ spoke with an official at Capellania Cristiana Llamados Para Servir, an organization working with churches in metropolitan Phoenix. The official confirmed the organization expects 90 families at two different churches on Friday and 400 more migrants from Yuma to start arriving in Phoenix late this weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These migrant families are generally released to join relatives in other parts of the country and will be issued a Notice to Appear in immigration court for their asylum hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. They never show up\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Then they never show up, almost. It’s like a level of 3 percent. They never show up for the trial. So by the time their trial comes, they’re gone. Nobody knows where they are.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Actually, the majority of asylum-seekers do show up to court. According to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/eoir/page/file/fysb16/download\">Department of Justice statistics for the 2016 fiscal year\u003c/a>, only about 2 in 5 cases were decided in absentia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigrant-rights advocates say the number of asylum-seekers who do show up would be even higher if they had attorneys and more support from court staff to let them know when and where to show up. They point to a pilot program that was \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/07/18/629496174/alternatives-to-detention-are-cheaper-than-jails-but-cases-take-far-longer\">highly successful at getting immigrants to show up in court\u003c/a> before it was canceled by the Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. Abusing asylum\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“This endemic abuse of the asylum system makes a mockery of our immigration system, displacing legitimate asylum-seekers — and there are legitimate asylum-seekers — while rewarding those who abuse or defraud our system, which is almost everybody. Everybody is abusing it.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Immigration lawyers say this is a wild exaggeration. It’s true that only a fraction of all asylum claims are actually successful. Last year, \u003ca href=\"http://trac.syr.edu/immigration/reports/491/\">immigration courts rejected more than 60 percent of asylum claims\u003c/a>, a number that has been steadily rising since 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration argues that rejection rate is itself evidence of fraud. But immigrants-rights advocates dispute that. They say immigration courts are supposed to decide each asylum case on its own merits and that the low acceptance rate is simply evidence that the system is working — and that asylum cases are not easy to win.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. It’s an invasion\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Some people call it an invasion. It’s like an invasion. … These are tough people, in many cases. A lot of young men, strong men.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The president has claimed repeatedly, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/10/23/659917659/fact-check-president-trumps-false-claims-on-migrant-caravan-tax-cuts\">without evidence\u003c/a>, that the migrants include dangerous criminals and “unknown Middle Easterners.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But reporters on the ground say the migrants comprise mainly women and children who are fleeing from violence and extreme poverty in Central America. Refugee and asylum experts accuse the president of fearmongering to rally his political base for the midterm elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a “tragic irony” in portraying the asylum-seekers as a marauding army, said Karen Musalo, director of the Center for Gender and Refugee Studies at U.C. Hastings College of the Law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Individuals have come together to walk north in a caravan because the journey north for asylum-seekers has been so dangerous,” Musalo said in an interview. “These are very vulnerable individuals, desperately fleeing violence, who have come together as a group to have the protection and solidarity of each other.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

In addition to Berkeley, the city councils of Alameda and Oakland are also considering similar proposals to forbid working with firms that provide data or personal information that could be used by ICE to target undocumented immigrants.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Berkeley ordinance defines extreme vetting as “data mining, threat modeling, predictive risk analysis or other similar services.” A data broker collects and resells personal information to third parties — including government agencies — such as a consumer’s credit history, court records, driver’s license and vehicle registration information.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Berkeley city council would be able to grant a waiver to a company if no “reasonable alternative” exists for the services provided by it. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In November 2016, after Donald J. Trump was elected President, Berkeley reaffirmed its status as a sanctuary city, and has since passed resolutions that restrict the use of city funds and resources to help enforce federal immigration laws. In March 2017, \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2017/03/17/berkeley-calif-to-boycott-companies-involved-in-building-trumps-wall/?utm_term=.a796f6f50808\">Berkeley made national headlines\u003c/a> when its city council voted to divest city funds from any company involved in the construction of a new wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“In every California sanctuary city proclamation that we’ve seen, it’s been by resolution, and a resolution is just a mission statement, it’s unenforceable,” said Brian Hofer, chairman of the Oakland Privacy Commission and a member of\u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.deportice.org/\"> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Deport ICE\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, a coalition that has been lobbying cities in California to adopt ordinances to stop doing businesses with firms whose services help ICE identify or detain undocumented immigrants. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“It’s going to start impacting these companies’ bottom lines and profits as they start to become ineligible for contracts… and that’s ultimately our goal, that they just stop working with ICE,” said Hofer.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Deport ICE was one of more than two dozen organizations that sent a letter on Monday to Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguin and the eight Berkeley City council members. The letter pointed to actions taken by the cities of Alameda, Culver City and San Pablo earlier this year to either reject or postpone contracts worth more than three million dollars with\u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.vigilantsolutions.com/about/\"> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Vigilant Solutions\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, a Livermore-based company that provides license plate recognition, facial recognition and other data analytics to law enforcement agencies.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Responding by email, Mary Alice Johnson, a spokeswoman for Vigilant said, “Vigilant Solutions does not share any law enforcement data.” She added that the company “\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">is not at liberty to discuss or share any contractual details,” in response to a question about whether Vigilant’s business has been impacted by cities taking a closer look at awarding contracts to companies that may do work for ICE. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Berkeley City Manager’s office has not yet evaluated what impact the proposal would have on existing city contracts. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">An ICE representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story has been updated.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

In March 2017, \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2017/03/17/berkeley-calif-to-boycott-companies-involved-in-building-trumps-wall/?utm_term=.a796f6f50808\">Berkeley made national headlines\u003c/a> when its city council voted to divest city funds from any company involved in the construction of a new wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“In every California sanctuary city proclamation that we’ve seen, it’s been by resolution, and a resolution is just a mission statement, it’s unenforceable,” said Brian Hofer, chairman of the Oakland Privacy Commission and a member of\u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.deportice.org/\"> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Deport ICE\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, a coalition that has been lobbying cities in California to adopt ordinances to stop doing businesses with firms whose services help ICE identify or detain undocumented immigrants. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“It’s going to start impacting these companies’ bottom lines and profits as they start to become ineligible for contracts… and that’s ultimately our goal, that they just stop working with ICE,” said Hofer.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Deport ICE was one of more than two dozen organizations that sent a letter on Monday to Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguin and the eight Berkeley City council members.

A 2017 state law gave the attorney general power to monitor conditions in public and private immigration jails across California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department of Homeland Security investigators visited Adelanto unannounced in May. \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/assets/2018-10/OIG-18-86-Sep18.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Their findings\u003c/a> include:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>A dentist who said detainees could use \"string from their socks to floss\" for dental hygiene, as the facility only provides floss to detainees who pay for it.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A disabled man who was confined to his wheelchair for nine days and nights without being allowed to sleep on a bed.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A blind man with limited English and more than a dozen others who were held in disciplinary segregation even though they had not been found guilty of any rule violation.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Detainees waiting weeks or months to see a doctor, and in some cases, more than a year to see a dentist.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Nooses made out of braided bed sheets hung from vents at 15 out of 20 cells inspectors visited, which could aid suicide attempts.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Inspectors were troubled by the nooses because there have been at least seven suicide attempts at the facility since 2016.

A 2017 state law gave the attorney general power to monitor conditions in public and private immigration jails across California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department of Homeland Security investigators visited Adelanto unannounced in May. \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/assets/2018-10/OIG-18-86-Sep18.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Their findings\u003c/a> include:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>A dentist who said detainees could use \"string from their socks to floss\" for dental hygiene, as the facility only provides floss to detainees who pay for it.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A disabled man who was confined to his wheelchair for nine days and nights without being allowed to sleep on a bed.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A blind man with limited English and more than a dozen others who were held in disciplinary segregation even though they had not been found guilty of any rule violation.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Detainees waiting weeks or months to see a doctor, and in some cases, more than a year to see a dentist.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Nooses made out of braided bed sheets hung from vents at 15 out of 20 cells inspectors visited, which could aid suicide attempts.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Inspectors were troubled by the nooses because there have been at least seven suicide attempts at the facility since 2016.

Ordin is now empowered to conduct unannounced inspections of shelters and detention centers, where the court found some minors have been subject to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11681153/lawsuit-says-migrants-were-subjected-to-dirty-detention-facilities-bad-food-and-water\">frigid and unsanitary conditions\u003c/a>, drugged without consent and denied information about legal services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ordin was appointed under the 1997 consent decree. It specifies that children in immigration custody must be held in the least restrictive setting, in licensed child-care facilities overseen by the federal Office of Refugee Resettlement, known as ORR. The consent decree also requires that children be released to a relative or sponsor whenever possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Courts have ruled that the Flores agreement applies to children apprehended with a parent as well as unaccompanied migrant children or those forcibly separated from parents. Courts have also said that children in immigration custody are \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11550057/9th-circuit-detained-immigrant-children-entitled-to-court-hearing\">entitled to a hearing to consider\u003c/a> their release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
