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.",

Their children play soccer and tag in the middle of the plaza, their faces dirty and their clothes torn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is where people wait to legally enter the United States and ask for asylum.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Heat, Thirst, Boredom and Delay\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>By midafternoon at the plaza, the sun is high and there is no shade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s too hot to nap, and the kids are too hungry to play. But they’re bored and restless, and there is no apparent end to their wait. So the children who are old enough to venture by themselves group up, and slowly walk back and forth between a white metal fence and the street. They examine the ground, they pick at the cigarette butts, candy wrappers and leaves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The toddlers also group up, but stay closer to their mothers. They sit in a circle — some cross-legged, some on their knees — and roll small tangerines on the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other toddlers sit by themselves, staring off toward a beige-colored stucco wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The women — most of them mothers — sit with their heads buried in their hands, or their laps, or the hood of their jackets. Some nurse infants. Some ration out water to their children from gallon jugs. A lucky few lay on a handful of cardboard boxes and are sleeping.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, those with papers and passports allowing them to enter the U.S. walk past to the San Ysidro Port of Entry, often looking past the children and families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A man walks over from the pharmacy across the street, bringing a box of water, Gatorade, candy bars, bread and apples. All of a sudden, the entire plaza awakens. Teenagers and toddlers swarm the man, even before he can lay the box on the ground. Within a minute, the entire box is gone. The man turns to get another box of supplies. He is swarmed in the middle of the street. A toddler cries out that they didn’t get a drink, and a teenage boy hands him their Gatorade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a group of families who have spent their life savings and traveled from four continents to get to this plaza, this has been their life for almost a month.

He told them the U.S. does not accept asylum claims anymore. After two lawyers identified themselves and demanded the officer begin the asylum process, he turned around and walked into a room in the border corridor. Shortly after, a private security guard came out and demanded everyone leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After this exchange, the KQED reporter walked over to the station headquarters and asked to speak with a supervisor. The Border Patrol agent at the desk refused and said, “It’s weird you care about asylum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Are you applying for asylum?” he continued. “Because we don’t process those anymore. And I’m not answering any of your questions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED has since asked for comments from Customs and Border Protection multiple times.

These are people who are desperate for protection and to protect their children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Janet Napolitano, former Department of Homeland Security chief (and the former governor of a border state), said that even if immigration judges ultimately deny the asylum claims, all people who present themselves at a U.S. port of entry are entitled by federal law to be put on the list for a “credible fear interview.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What that Border Patrol agent said [about not accepting asylum cases] is absolutely wrong,” said Napolitano, who is now president of the University of California. “It’s not the law.

These cases do not fit what Sessions ruled as “the prototypical refugee,” who flees “… her home country because the government has persecuted her.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Specifically, Sessions ruled that “married women in Guatemala who are unable to leave their relationship” should not be eligible for asylum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The result of that decision, according to immigration advocates and attorneys, is that asylum cases are being “turned around” without the granting of due process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11681481\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11681481\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/BorderPoliceOfficer-800x555.jpg\" alt=\"A U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer stands guard as pedestrians enter the United States at the San Ysidro port of entry.\" width=\"800\" height=\"555\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/BorderPoliceOfficer-800x555.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/BorderPoliceOfficer-160x111.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/BorderPoliceOfficer-1020x708.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/BorderPoliceOfficer-1200x833.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/BorderPoliceOfficer.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/BorderPoliceOfficer-1180x819.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/BorderPoliceOfficer-960x667.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/BorderPoliceOfficer-240x167.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/BorderPoliceOfficer-375x260.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/BorderPoliceOfficer-520x361.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer stands guard as pedestrians enter the United States at the San Ysidro Port of Entry. \u003ccite>(Mario Tama/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A KQED reporter witnessed such a turnaround at the asylum plaza during the weekend of June 23. A group of 13 mothers, organized by lawyers from Pittsburgh and San Diego, presented themselves to a Border Patrol agent for an asylum claim.

He told them the U.S. does not accept asylum claims anymore. After two lawyers identified themselves and demanded the officer begin the asylum process, he turned around and walked into a room in the border corridor. Shortly after, a private security guard came out and demanded everyone leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After this exchange, the KQED reporter walked over to the station headquarters and asked to speak with a supervisor. The Border Patrol agent at the desk refused and said, “It’s weird you care about asylum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Are you applying for asylum?” he continued. “Because we don’t process those anymore. And I’m not answering any of your questions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED has since asked for comments from Customs and Border Protection multiple times.

But according to Bardis Vakili of the San Diego ACLU, these “turnarounds” have taken on a “sharper edge.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s heartlessness and cruelty compounded by ineptitude,” said Vakili. “This is a suffering population who we need to process in some fair way. These are people who are desperate for protection and to protect their children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Janet Napolitano, former Department of Homeland Security chief (and the former governor of a border state), said that even if immigration judges ultimately deny the asylum claims, all people who present themselves at a U.S. port of entry are entitled by federal law to be put on the list for a “credible fear interview.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What that Border Patrol agent said [about not accepting asylum cases] is absolutely wrong,” said Napolitano, who is now president of the University of California. “It’s not the law.

The charges come just a few days before President Trump is scheduled to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Earlier this week, the president nominated Brett Kavanaugh to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy. Kavanaugh has a conservative record on key contentious issues, including abortion and gun rights, and has expressed strong support for presidential immunity. His confirmation would push the court to the right, and a showdown is already underway. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the Bay Area, London Breed made history in San Francisco when she was sworn in as the first female African-American mayor on Wednesday.

We put them in the classroom.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Guests:\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Professor Melissa Murray, NYU of Law\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Scott Shafer, KQED politics and government senior editor\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sean Walsh, Wilson Walsh Consulting\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Reuniting Migrant Families\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week the federal government scrambled to meet a court-imposed deadline to reunite children under the age of 5 who were separated from their families at the border under a recent zero tolerance policy. The Trump administration says there are roughly 100 separated children under the age of 5, and almost half of them could not be reunited due to the status of their parents.

The charges come just a few days before President Trump is scheduled to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Earlier this week, the president nominated Brett Kavanaugh to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy. Kavanaugh has a conservative record on key contentious issues, including abortion and gun rights, and has expressed strong support for presidential immunity. His confirmation would push the court to the right, and a showdown is already underway. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the Bay Area, London Breed made history in San Francisco when she was sworn in as the first female African-American mayor on Wednesday.

We put them in the classroom.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Guests:\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Professor Melissa Murray, NYU of Law\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Scott Shafer, KQED politics and government senior editor\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sean Walsh, Wilson Walsh Consulting\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Reuniting Migrant Families\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week the federal government scrambled to meet a court-imposed deadline to reunite children under the age of 5 who were separated from their families at the border under a recent zero tolerance policy.

Leading the so-called resistance, it is these women who organized and turned out protesters in large numbers across the country. They also have flocked to the Indivisible movement, a progressive grass-roots movement opposed to Trump policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I did not care about politics until Trump was elected,” said San Diego Indivisible organizer Wendy Batterson. “I work in a grocery store and wasn’t worried about politics. I wasn’t as aware as I should have been.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Batterson has been a key organizer in San Diego. Along with friend and fellow Indivisible organizer Gretchen Gordon, the women were two of the first people to organize protests against Trump’s zero tolerance immigration policy. After learning that the policy was leading to a backup of single mothers waiting to have their asylum cases heard, Batterson and Gordon went to the U.S. Port of Entry to hear the stories and journal the conditions of the women waiting to ask for the U.S. to hear their asylum cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What I found was a medical crisis,” said Gordon, who is also a pediatric nurse. “Pregnant women, women with children, girls and teenagers with children. Dehydrated, malnourished, skin rashes, horrible coughs, and just dirt — they’re dirty from traveling however many miles to get here. No money, and no help.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think those pictures of those kids did a lot to get people energized,” Batterson added. “Then all of a sudden they could see children, as opposed to just talking about whatever dumb thing Trump was doing.

And this is what I’m doing before I’m taken.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Social Media Uniting Women Against Immigration Policy\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since being sworn into office, President Trump has seen fierce opposition from Democratic and progressive-leaning women. Leading the so-called resistance, it is these women who organized and turned out protesters in large numbers across the country. They also have flocked to the Indivisible movement, a progressive grass-roots movement opposed to Trump policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I did not care about politics until Trump was elected,” said San Diego Indivisible organizer Wendy Batterson. “I work in a grocery store and wasn’t worried about politics. I wasn’t as aware as I should have been.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Batterson has been a key organizer in San Diego. Along with friend and fellow Indivisible organizer Gretchen Gordon, the women were two of the first people to organize protests against Trump’s zero tolerance immigration policy. After learning that the policy was leading to a backup of single mothers waiting to have their asylum cases heard, Batterson and Gordon went to the U.S. Port of Entry to hear the stories and journal the conditions of the women waiting to ask for the U.S. to hear their asylum cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What I found was a medical crisis,” said Gordon, who is also a pediatric nurse. “Pregnant women, women with children, girls and teenagers with children. Dehydrated, malnourished, skin rashes, horrible coughs, and just dirt — they’re dirty from traveling however many miles to get here. No money, and no help.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think those pictures of those kids did a lot to get people energized,” Batterson added. “Then all of a sudden they could see children, as opposed to just talking about whatever dumb thing Trump was doing. People could put a face to it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since those first dispatches to social media in May, Batterson said she has seen new protesters over the family separation policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think a lot of people who saw us at the first Women’s March, they didn’t get the magnitude of what was happening,” Batterson said. “Some people thought it was kind of laughable. Other people said, ‘Oh, that’s just rhetoric, Trump couldn’t mean it.’ But now, people are paying attention. They see kids in cages. They see parents crying, kids crying. Thank God, family separation isn’t a line they want to cross.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anecdotally, it appears Batterson is noticing an emerging trend: Several women told KQED they are concerned about the president’s behavior and policies, but have not been vocal in their opposition because they don’t want to alienate more conservative friends and family members.

"content": "\u003cp>Roughly 1,000 people marched to the federal courthouse in San Diego on Monday, outraged by a spike in criminal prosecutions — mostly misdemeanor charges — against migrants for illegal entry into the U.S. The caseload increase resulted directly from the new \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11667065/sessions-says-zero-tolerance-policy-for-border-crossers-may-split-families\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">zero tolerance\u003c/a> policy of prosecuting all people who enter the U.S. without papers, announced by Attorney General Jeff Sessions in May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About a dozen protesters from the \u003ca href=\"http://www.kpbs.org/news/2018/jul/02/hundreds-protest-trump-immigration-policies-downto/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Free Our Future\u003c/a> rally entered the courtroom that typically handles such cases at the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, but were quickly escorted out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, an estimated 800 to 1,000 protesters carrying signs with slogans like “Abolish ICE” marched from Barrio Logan, San Diego’s historic Latino neighborhood, to the federal jail, where misdemeanor defendants are held. They then marched on to the courthouse to block the entrance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigrant advocates unfurled a banner on the nearby Westin Hotel with the words “FREE OUR FAMILIES NOW!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Prosecutions of Migrants Clogging Southern District Court\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutions of first-time border crossers, including asylum-seekers, have already doubled in the Southern District since May and are expected to increase substantially in the coming weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California plans to roll out “Operation Streamline,” a fast-track procedure criticized by some defense attorneys and advocates as quasi-judicial, to speed up the number of convictions by next week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A week ago the court handled 90 cases, mostly people facing misdemeanor charges for illegal entry, and stayed in session until 10:05 p.m. — a first for the San Diego court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judge Clinton Averitte was on the bench that night, and vowed not to stay that late again. The following day he stepped gingerly up the stairs to the dais, took his seat and instructed the courtroom of mostly attorneys to do the same.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Averitte came from Texas, where he just retired after 30 years on the bench, to help with the increase in cases here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I previously sat on Northern District of Texas,” Averitte told counsel gathered at the hearing. “I’m on recall for the Southern District of California to take some cases while some of the judges here are unavailable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>New Cases Processed Daily\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the clerk called out the numbers of the cases to be heard, U.S. marshals escorted 11 men and one woman into the courtroom in ankle chains. Still wearing street clothes, their facial expressions were grim, and they appeared bleary-eyed. A court interpreter handed each one headsets to listen in Spanish to the court proceedings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Defense attorney Marcus Bourassa brought up the ankle chains during a lull in the proceedings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do want to object on behalf of all of my clients who were brought in today in leg shackles,” Bourassa said. “There’s been no individualized showing that these people present a risk of flight, and I do think they have a constitutional right to be unshackled.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the judge denied the request because it would likely delay proceedings. Besides, he said, no one in the courtroom had seen the shackles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Their feet and legs have not been visible to me or anyone else other than the marshals or anybody who wants to go look in the jury box,” Averitte said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He told defendants they were being charged with illegal entry, a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail and a fine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The defendants, nearly all young farmworkers with families, answered “si” or “yes” that they understood the charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the end of the hour the judge had charged 12 defendants, explained their rights, assigned them attorneys and set their bonds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The United States marshals escorted them out of the courtroom and prepared to bring in the next group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s Alex Hall and Polly Stryker contributed to this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The figure has steadily risen over at least the past decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The backlog started in the Bush administration, but it really accelerated under Obama, because of the Central Americans arriving,” Brown said. “Most Mexicans can be deported pretty immediately; Central Americans, again, often have due process — that created the backlog. The president saying he just wants to do away with the courts, you know, obviously [he] can’t do that without Congress.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown says that while enforcement efforts developed a large security apparatus along the border, there was no correlating growth in the legal and justice system there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s resulted in this backlog that takes two years,” Brown said. “If we were to add more judges, reduce that backlog to a couple months — that would probably help with the problem the president is trying to address.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, Ashley Tabaddor, president of the National Association of Immigration Judges, told NPR that immigration courts’ budgets have not increased along with those of law enforcement agencies:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So we’ve seen a situation where, if you imagine a one-lane highway with one exit ramp being now built out to a three- or four-lane highway, and the exit ramp remains a single lane — and then trying to blame the exit ramp for the traffic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, the border agency is one of many parts of the Trump administration that is calling on the Republican-controlled Congress to solve the problem, by passing a comprehensive immigration law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When NPR asked CBP for clarification of its new approach to Trump’s policy on Tuesday, the agency sent this statement from Andrew Meehan, assistant commissioner of public affairs:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“U.S. Customs and Border Protection is working through implementing the President’s Executive Order in conjunction with the Department of Justice and is taking temporary action until Congress can find a lasting solution to family separation and we encourage them to act.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2018 NPR.

The figure has steadily risen over at least the past decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The backlog started in the Bush administration, but it really accelerated under Obama, because of the Central Americans arriving,” Brown said. “Most Mexicans can be deported pretty immediately; Central Americans, again, often have due process — that created the backlog. The president saying he just wants to do away with the courts, you know, obviously [he] can’t do that without Congress.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown says that while enforcement efforts developed a large security apparatus along the border, there was no correlating growth in the legal and justice system there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s resulted in this backlog that takes two years,” Brown said. “If we were to add more judges, reduce that backlog to a couple months — that would probably help with the problem the president is trying to address.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, Ashley Tabaddor, president of the National Association of Immigration Judges, told NPR that immigration courts’ budgets have not increased along with those of law enforcement agencies:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So we’ve seen a situation where, if you imagine a one-lane highway with one exit ramp being now built out to a three- or four-lane highway, and the exit ramp remains a single lane — and then trying to blame the exit ramp for the traffic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, the border agency is one of many parts of the Trump administration that is calling on the Republican-controlled Congress to solve the problem, by passing a comprehensive immigration law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When NPR asked CBP for clarification of its new approach to Trump’s policy on Tuesday, the agency sent this statement from Andrew Meehan, assistant commissioner of public affairs:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“U.S. Customs and Border Protection is working through implementing the President’s Executive Order in conjunction with the Department of Justice and is taking temporary action until Congress can find a lasting solution to family separation and we encourage them to act.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2018 NPR.

Thousands of children like Filomena have been removed from their parents and placed into a confusing system of institutional care that is stretched beyond its maximum capacity. Government directives have shifted repeatedly in recent days, leading to confusion and lack of communication among agencies. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Nazario and Filomena, the result is utter bewilderment and pain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some of the recent developments: \u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>April 6 — Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced a zero tolerance \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/attorney-general-announces-zero-tolerance-policy-criminal-illegal-entry\">policy\u003c/a> of criminally prosecuting everyone caught unlawfully crossing into the U.S. \u003c/li>\n\u003cli>May 7 — Sessions held a press conference with ICE acting director Thomas Homan at the border fence in San Diego, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/speech/attorney-general-sessions-delivers-remarks-discussing-immigration-enforcement-actions\">said\u003c/a>, “If you are smuggling a child, then we will prosecute you and that child will be separated from you as required by law.” \u003c/li>\n\u003cli>June 20 — Last Wednesday, after an outcry over family separation, President Trump signed an \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/affording-congress-opportunity-address-family-separation/\">executive order\u003c/a> stating that the government’s policy is now to keep unauthorized immigrant families together, “where appropriate and consistent with law and available resources.”\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>June 21 — The following day, a senior Customs and Border Protection official \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/us-will-stop-prosecuting-parents-who-cross-the-border-illegally-with-children-official-says/2018/06/21/4902b194-7564-11e8-805c-4b67019fcfe4_story.html?utm_term=.d582c4d7d6d4\">told\u003c/a> the Washington Post that, in order to promote family unity, the agency would stop referring migrant parents for prosecution if they were traveling with children. The Department of Justice asserted that the zero tolerance prosecution policy still applied to everyone.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>June 23 — On Saturday, the Department of Homeland Security issued a \u003ca href=\"https://www.dhs.gov/news/2018/06/23/fact-sheet-zero-tolerance-prosecution-and-family-reunification\">fact sheet\u003c/a> describing steps it was taking to reunite children with their parents. The memo said 522 children had been returned to parents by Customs and Border Protection. And, it said, an additional 2,053 “separated” children were in the custody of the Department of Health and Human Services, whose Office of Refugee Resettlement is responsible for “unaccompanied alien children,” now including those, like Filomena, who were taken from their parents. The memo does not provide a timeline for the reunifications, and what will happen to the children remains uncertain.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch3>A Tough Choice\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Back in their mountain village in Guatemala, Filomena used to go just about everywhere with her Papi. When he went to the fields to hoe the potatoes, Filomena went, too. And together they would go home to her mother and 2-year-old brother. She liked to play, and to write and draw in her notebook, said Filomena’s mother, Marcela, who spoke to KQED by phone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then a local gang began to menace Nazario. They tried to extort money from him and threatened murder, Marcela said. The \u003ca href=\"https://www.usaid.gov/sites/default/files/documents/1862/Guatemala_Conflict_Vulnerability_Assessment.pdf\">Guatemalan government is weak\u003c/a> and, after years of civil war and economic hardship, more young men are drawn to gangs and commit violence with impunity. The threat is growing, even in rural areas. Nazario felt he had to escape. He had relatives in California. Maybe he could find refuge there. Worried that Marcela would have difficulty managing the farm with two small children, the couple agreed Nazario would take his daughter with him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Nazario had gone, Marcela said the gang members returned, looking for him. They beat her up, she said, but “at least they didn’t kill me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A Complicated Legal Maze\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In San Diego, Nazario was held by the U.S. Marshals Service while his criminal trial went forward. He spent two weeks locked in a detention facility run by the Geo Group, a private prison company contracted by the government. Because he was a criminal defendant, the government appointed him a public defender. (In immigration matters, however, neither he nor Filomena was entitled to appointed counsel. Many immigrants appear in court without a lawyer.) The authorities never told him where his daughter was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When federal public defender James Chavez first met with Nazario, he spent a long time trying to explain the complex U.S. system, with its criminal and immigration proceedings. The Guatemalan man found it very confusing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nazario is an individual without any formal education,” said Chavez. “I’m not confident that he fully understood what happened to him. And that’s not uncommon.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What Nazario did understand was that his daughter was gone from him. He told the lawyer he cried nearly every day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chavez began to search, with the help of the ACLU and the Guatemalan Consulate. It took 10 days before he located Filomena. She had been put in the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement, known as ORR, and transferred to New York. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do not know where New York is. I was told it was very far,” Nazario said in his declaration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chavez said he spoke with a kindhearted ORR caseworker who had met with Filomena. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She just described a little girl who was crying every day, who was missing her father very much,” he said. “Which parallels him crying every day, missing his little girl.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">\u003cspan style=\"font-size: x-large\">‘\u003cstrong>I’m desperate. I don’t know where she is.\u003c/strong> I don’t know what that place is like. I still don’t know how she is. So I feel desperate. I feel sad every day.’\u003c/span>\u003ccite>Marcela, Filomena’s mother\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Officials with ORR did not respond to repeated requests for comment. And Chavez did not want to divulge exactly where Filomena was staying, for fear of jeopardizing her quick release. But most very young children in ORR custody are housed in foster homes, rather than institutional shelters, according to Anthony Enriquez, director of the unaccompanied minors program at Catholic Charities of New York. Foster families are hired by the nonprofit agencies that contract with ORR to care for the children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It can take as much as 10 days before Catholic Charities staff can communicate with kids in ORR custody, said Enriquez. Once they do, he and his staff work with ORR case managers to establish contact between children and their parents. Filomena was able to speak to her mother about three weeks ago. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marcela said her little girl told her she did not want to be where she was. She wanted to be back home with her family. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m desperate,” said Marcela in Spanish. “I don’t know where she is. I don’t know what that place is like. I still don’t know how she is. So I feel desperate. I feel sad every day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In New York, the Catholic Charities lawyers are scrambling to get the children’s cases before a judge in the notoriously overburdened immigration courts. If they succeed in getting a case onto an expedited docket, it can be heard in one to two weeks, said Enriquez. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As dedicated lawyers, we’re trying to move this as fast as possible,” he said. “The longer children are separated, the greater the risk of psychological damage.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But because the immigration court process for children has more protections, it can take longer. All unaccompanied children, including those like Filomena who were rendered unaccompanied, are entitled to a hearing before an immigration judge. By contrast, adults like Nazario are subject to a summary deportation, called expedited removal. Recent border crossers are entitled to see an immigration judge only if an asylum officer from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services finds they have a credible fear of persecution in their home country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In order to get separated children back to their parents more quickly, Enriquez said, Catholic Charities lawyers are now requesting that judges ask ICE prosecutors to withdraw their cases. This allows the court to release the child to be returned home. Enriquez said he and other lawyers are also using the court proceeding to hold the government accountable: “We can always say, ‘Your Honor, you should ask the government lawyer: Where is the parent? Why has this child been separated? Why is there not a system to reunify the family before deportation? Why can’t the government facilitate more communication?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Giving Up on Protection in the U.S.\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Back in San Diego, Nazario remained distraught. In spite of the danger that propelled him north, he decided to abandon his asylum claim. If he had pursued asylum he would likely have been locked up for months or even years — without Filomena. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his declaration he said: “After being in jail for two weeks and having my daughter taken away from me, I decided that the United States is not a place that would protect me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On May 30, he pleaded guilty to illegal entry in criminal court and was sentenced to time served. His hope was that if he accepted deportation by immigration authorities, he would be reunited with his child.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then federal marshals handed Nazario over to ICE, which took him to a different private prison in San Diego just for people in immigration proceedings — the Otay Mesa Detention Center, run by a company called CoreCivic. His lawyer said it took a couple more weeks before an ICE agent came to talk to Nazario about his asylum claim and his decision to give it up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My impression of Nazario is that he was deeply depressed, maybe even broken,” said public defender Chavez, who met with Nazario five or six times while he was jailed in San Diego, visiting even after the criminal case had been resolved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, on June 19, ICE transferred Nazario to Arizona. And on June 20, the very same day that President Trump reversed his stance on separating families, Nazario was flown back to Guatemala City. Filomena was not with him. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the five weeks Nazario spent in U.S. government custody, he was never once able to speak to Filomena. He didn’t have money for a jail phone call. And James Chavez, juggling the legal demands of many other cases, couldn’t make it happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Chavez said that Nazario’s case was the most disturbing he’d had in a decade as a federal defender. And he wasn’t willing to let it go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This case has touched me personally, being a father of two small children myself and having gotten to know a good man who’s going through a real nightmare,” he said. “Just as a fellow human being, I want to make sure I do everything I can to help him be reunited with his young daughter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So he said he’ll keep working with the Guatemalan Consulate and the immigration lawyers in New York, to get Filomena sent safely back to Guatemala. It could take weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NOTE: KQED spelled the name of the girl in this story “Filemona,” as it appeared on a U.S. court document filed by her father. In fact, her name is spelled “Filomena” and appears that way on her Guatemalan birth certificate.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Government directives have shifted repeatedly in recent days, leading to confusion and lack of communication among agencies. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Nazario and Filomena, the result is utter bewilderment and pain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some of the recent developments: \u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>April 6 — Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced a zero tolerance \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/attorney-general-announces-zero-tolerance-policy-criminal-illegal-entry\">policy\u003c/a> of criminally prosecuting everyone caught unlawfully crossing into the U.S. \u003c/li>\n\u003cli>May 7 — Sessions held a press conference with ICE acting director Thomas Homan at the border fence in San Diego, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/speech/attorney-general-sessions-delivers-remarks-discussing-immigration-enforcement-actions\">said\u003c/a>, “If you are smuggling a child, then we will prosecute you and that child will be separated from you as required by law.” \u003c/li>\n\u003cli>June 20 — Last Wednesday, after an outcry over family separation, President Trump signed an \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/affording-congress-opportunity-address-family-separation/\">executive order\u003c/a> stating that the government’s policy is now to keep unauthorized immigrant families together, “where appropriate and consistent with law and available resources.”\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>June 21 — The following day, a senior Customs and Border Protection official \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/us-will-stop-prosecuting-parents-who-cross-the-border-illegally-with-children-official-says/2018/06/21/4902b194-7564-11e8-805c-4b67019fcfe4_story.html?utm_term=.d582c4d7d6d4\">told\u003c/a> the Washington Post that, in order to promote family unity, the agency would stop referring migrant parents for prosecution if they were traveling with children. The Department of Justice asserted that the zero tolerance prosecution policy still applied to everyone.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>June 23 — On Saturday, the Department of Homeland Security issued a \u003ca href=\"https://www.dhs.gov/news/2018/06/23/fact-sheet-zero-tolerance-prosecution-and-family-reunification\">fact sheet\u003c/a> describing steps it was taking to reunite children with their parents. The memo said 522 children had been returned to parents by Customs and Border Protection. And, it said, an additional 2,053 “separated” children were in the custody of the Department of Health and Human Services, whose Office of Refugee Resettlement is responsible for “unaccompanied alien children,” now including those, like Filomena, who were taken from their parents. The memo does not provide a timeline for the reunifications, and what will happen to the children remains uncertain.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch3>A Tough Choice\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Back in their mountain village in Guatemala, Filomena used to go just about everywhere with her Papi. When he went to the fields to hoe the potatoes, Filomena went, too. And together they would go home to her mother and 2-year-old brother. She liked to play, and to write and draw in her notebook, said Filomena’s mother, Marcela, who spoke to KQED by phone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then a local gang began to menace Nazario. They tried to extort money from him and threatened murder, Marcela said. The \u003ca href=\"https://www.usaid.gov/sites/default/files/documents/1862/Guatemala_Conflict_Vulnerability_Assessment.pdf\">Guatemalan government is weak\u003c/a> and, after years of civil war and economic hardship, more young men are drawn to gangs and commit violence with impunity. The threat is growing, even in rural areas. Nazario felt he had to escape. He had relatives in California. Maybe he could find refuge there. Worried that Marcela would have difficulty managing the farm with two small children, the couple agreed Nazario would take his daughter with him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Nazario had gone, Marcela said the gang members returned, looking for him. They beat her up, she said, but “at least they didn’t kill me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A Complicated Legal Maze\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In San Diego, Nazario was held by the U.S. Marshals Service while his criminal trial went forward. He spent two weeks locked in a detention facility run by the Geo Group, a private prison company contracted by the government. Because he was a criminal defendant, the government appointed him a public defender. (In immigration matters, however, neither he nor Filomena was entitled to appointed counsel. Many immigrants appear in court without a lawyer.) The authorities never told him where his daughter was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When federal public defender James Chavez first met with Nazario, he spent a long time trying to explain the complex U.S. system, with its criminal and immigration proceedings. The Guatemalan man found it very confusing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nazario is an individual without any formal education,” said Chavez. “I’m not confident that he fully understood what happened to him. And that’s not uncommon.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What Nazario did understand was that his daughter was gone from him. He told the lawyer he cried nearly every day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chavez began to search, with the help of the ACLU and the Guatemalan Consulate. It took 10 days before he located Filomena. She had been put in the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement, known as ORR, and transferred to New York. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do not know where New York is. I was told it was very far,” Nazario said in his declaration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chavez said he spoke with a kindhearted ORR caseworker who had met with Filomena. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She just described a little girl who was crying every day, who was missing her father very much,” he said. “Which parallels him crying every day, missing his little girl.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">\u003cspan style=\"font-size: x-large\">‘\u003cstrong>I’m desperate. I don’t know where she is.\u003c/strong> I don’t know what that place is like. I still don’t know how she is. So I feel desperate. I feel sad every day.’\u003c/span>\u003ccite>Marcela, Filomena’s mother\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Officials with ORR did not respond to repeated requests for comment. And Chavez did not want to divulge exactly where Filomena was staying, for fear of jeopardizing her quick release. But most very young children in ORR custody are housed in foster homes, rather than institutional shelters, according to Anthony Enriquez, director of the unaccompanied minors program at Catholic Charities of New York. Foster families are hired by the nonprofit agencies that contract with ORR to care for the children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It can take as much as 10 days before Catholic Charities staff can communicate with kids in ORR custody, said Enriquez. Once they do, he and his staff work with ORR case managers to establish contact between children and their parents. Filomena was able to speak to her mother about three weeks ago. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marcela said her little girl told her she did not want to be where she was. She wanted to be back home with her family. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m desperate,” said Marcela in Spanish. “I don’t know where she is. I don’t know what that place is like. I still don’t know how she is. So I feel desperate. I feel sad every day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In New York, the Catholic Charities lawyers are scrambling to get the children’s cases before a judge in the notoriously overburdened immigration courts. If they succeed in getting a case onto an expedited docket, it can be heard in one to two weeks, said Enriquez. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As dedicated lawyers, we’re trying to move this as fast as possible,” he said. “The longer children are separated, the greater the risk of psychological damage.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But because the immigration court process for children has more protections, it can take longer. All unaccompanied children, including those like Filomena who were rendered unaccompanied, are entitled to a hearing before an immigration judge. By contrast, adults like Nazario are subject to a summary deportation, called expedited removal. Recent border crossers are entitled to see an immigration judge only if an asylum officer from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services finds they have a credible fear of persecution in their home country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In order to get separated children back to their parents more quickly, Enriquez said, Catholic Charities lawyers are now requesting that judges ask ICE prosecutors to withdraw their cases. This allows the court to release the child to be returned home. Enriquez said he and other lawyers are also using the court proceeding to hold the government accountable: “We can always say, ‘Your Honor, you should ask the government lawyer: Where is the parent? Why has this child been separated? Why is there not a system to reunify the family before deportation? Why can’t the government facilitate more communication?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Giving Up on Protection in the U.S.\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Back in San Diego, Nazario remained distraught. In spite of the danger that propelled him north, he decided to abandon his asylum claim. If he had pursued asylum he would likely have been locked up for months or even years — without Filomena. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his declaration he said: “After being in jail for two weeks and having my daughter taken away from me, I decided that the United States is not a place that would protect me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On May 30, he pleaded guilty to illegal entry in criminal court and was sentenced to time served. His hope was that if he accepted deportation by immigration authorities, he would be reunited with his child.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then federal marshals handed Nazario over to ICE, which took him to a different private prison in San Diego just for people in immigration proceedings — the Otay Mesa Detention Center, run by a company called CoreCivic. His lawyer said it took a couple more weeks before an ICE agent came to talk to Nazario about his asylum claim and his decision to give it up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My impression of Nazario is that he was deeply depressed, maybe even broken,” said public defender Chavez, who met with Nazario five or six times while he was jailed in San Diego, visiting even after the criminal case had been resolved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, on June 19, ICE transferred Nazario to Arizona. And on June 20, the very same day that President Trump reversed his stance on separating families, Nazario was flown back to Guatemala City. Filomena was not with him. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the five weeks Nazario spent in U.S. government custody, he was never once able to speak to Filomena. He didn’t have money for a jail phone call. And James Chavez, juggling the legal demands of many other cases, couldn’t make it happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Chavez said that Nazario’s case was the most disturbing he’d had in a decade as a federal defender. And he wasn’t willing to let it go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This case has touched me personally, being a father of two small children myself and having gotten to know a good man who’s going through a real nightmare,” he said. “Just as a fellow human being, I want to make sure I do everything I can to help him be reunited with his young daughter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So he said he’ll keep working with the Guatemalan Consulate and the immigration lawyers in New York, to get Filomena sent safely back to Guatemala. It could take weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
