His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

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

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Updated Monday, Sept. 5, 12:30 p.m.:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration Tuesday formally announced it will end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program — also called DACA — putting an expiration date on the legal protections granted to roughly 800,000 people known as “DREAMers,” who entered the country illegally as children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homeland Security Acting Secretary Elaine Duke said the administration, facing legal challenges to the program, “chose the least disruptive option,” letting the program wind down in six months, and placing the onus on a sharply divided Congress to enact former President Barack Obama’s executive action into law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, Duke said the administration’s decision to terminate DACA “was not taken lightly. The Department of Justice has carefully evaluated the program’s constitutionality and determined it conflicts with our existing immigration laws.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Announcing the decision Tuesday morning, Attorney General Jeff Sessions said, “Such an open-ended circumvention of immigration laws was an unconstitutional exercise of authority by the Executive Branch.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duke said no current beneficiaries will be affected before March 5 of next year. But she said, “No new initial requests or associated applications filed after today will be acted on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump signaled the decision earlier on Tuesday, tweeting, “Congress, get ready to do your job – DACA.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n\u003cp lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Congress, get ready to do your job – DACA!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/905038986883850240\">September 5, 2017\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>State politicians and officials reacted swiftly to the news. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“DACA recipients make our nation strong and represent the best of America. The President’s decision undermines our nation’s values and is a cruel betrayal to the more than 800,000 young people, including more than 200,000 Californians, who have only ever known the United States of America as their home,” Sen. Kamala Harris said in a statement. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>University of California President Janet Napolitano released a statement urging Congress to pass legislation providing a permanent solution for the thousands who are now without a path to citizenship. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former President Obama \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/barackobama/posts/10155227588436749\">issued a statement on Facebook\u003c/a>, calling the decision “cruel” and “self-defeating.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Let’s be clear: the action taken today isn’t required legally. It’s a political decision, and a moral question,” he said. Obama added, “Whatever concerns or complaints Americans may have about immigration in general, we shouldn’t threaten the future of this group of young people who are here through no fault of their own, who pose no threat, who are not taking away anything from the rest of us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/consideration-deferred-action-childhood-arrivals-daca#guidelines\">DACA\u003c/a> allowed individuals who were brought to the U.S. as children or teens before mid-2007 to apply for protection from deportation and work permits if they met certain requirements. Beneficiaries had to be under the age of 16 upon entering the country; no older than 31 as of June 15, 2012; lived continuously in the U.S. since mid-2007; be enrolled in high school or college, already have a diploma or degree, have a GED certificate or be an honorably discharged veteran of the U.S. military; and have no felony criminal convictions, significant misdemeanor convictions, no more than three other misdemeanor convictions or otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The program did not provide lawful immigration status. Instead, through what the Obama administration characterized as the exercise of prosecutorial discretion, it granted a deferral from possibly being removed from the U.S. to those who qualified; it also granted work permits. The deferrals and permits were granted for two-year periods and could be renewed for additional two-year periods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says its enforcement priorities have not changed. It has no plans to target DACA holders as their permits expire. They will be eligible for deportation but a low priority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The USCIS generally has not referred cases in which a person’s DACA application is denied to immigration enforcement authorities unless the case involves a criminal offense, fraud or a threat to national security or public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The “DREAMers” had been in legal limbo since the start of the current administration. Throughout his campaign, Trump railed against the 2012 executive order signed by President Obama — and pledged to “immediately terminate the policy” once he took office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But after being sworn in, he expressed some compassion toward DACA recipients. In an interview with ABC News on Jan. 25, \u003ca href=\"http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/transcript-abc-news-anchor-david-muir-interviews-president/story?id=45047602\">Trump said\u003c/a>, “They shouldn’t be very worried. I do have a big heart. We’re going to take care of everybody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Obama program was thrown into the center of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/08/04/541675160/immigrant-advocates-prepare-for-threats-against-daca-program\">looming court battle\u003c/a> in late June when a coalition of 10 state attorneys general, led by Texas’ Ken Paxton, \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/story/2017/06/29/texas-attorney-general-end-daca-dreamers-240121\">threatened to sue the Trump administration\u003c/a> as early as Sept. 5 if it refused to phase out DACA. They argued that Obama had overstepped his authority in creating and implementing the program. Only Congress has the authority to legislate such a change in U.S. immigration law, they contended.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[T]he program represents an unconstitutional exercise of legislative power by the Executive Branch,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2017/07/26/trump-not-king-we-must-phase-out-daca-and-return-rule-law-column/488732001/\">Paxton wrote in an op-ed\u003c/a> for \u003cem>USA Today\u003c/em> in late July. “Phasing out DACA is about the rule of law, not the wisdom of any particular immigration policy,” Paxton also wrote at the time before emphasizing the principle of separation of powers at the heart of the structure of the federal government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney General Jeff Sessions had advocated for the termination of DACA but, \u003ca href=\"https://www.buzzfeed.com/adriancarrasquillo/steve-bannon-helped-preserve-daca-but-democrats-and-activist?utm_term=.crnEpe4OAq#.wapE4R1M8W\">as BuzzFeed reported in March\u003c/a>, he was often out-argued by former chief of staff Reince Priebus and former chief strategist Steve Bannon, who like Trump, wanted to see it preserved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bannon, who held hardline views on immigration that aligned more closely with Sessions on other policy issues, reportedly had convinced the president to spare DREAMers and use them “as a strategic asset in the coming immigration policy battles.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with Bannon and Priebus now gone from the West Wing, it appears the position held by Sessions and Stephen Miller, another Trump White House aide with ties to Sessions, has won out — under the pressure exerted by Paxton and some of his fellow state attorneys general.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s decision leaves Congress facing increasing pressure to find a solution for a population that was estimated in 2012 to include as many as \u003ca href=\"https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/research/who-and-where-dreamers-are-revised-estimates\">1.8 million immigrants\u003c/a> — of which \u003ca href=\"http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/01/05/unauthorized-immigrants-covered-by-daca-face-uncertain-future/\">about 800,000\u003c/a> have been granted deferred status under DACA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11615500\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/gettyimages-150318941daca_wide-212cdb55547bcde7840b89d700b604ced016eb07-s800-c85-800x449.jpg\" alt=\"People attend an orientation class in filing out their application for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program at Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles in August 2012 in Los Angeles.\" width=\"800\" height=\"449\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11615500\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/gettyimages-150318941daca_wide-212cdb55547bcde7840b89d700b604ced016eb07-s800-c85.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/gettyimages-150318941daca_wide-212cdb55547bcde7840b89d700b604ced016eb07-s800-c85-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/gettyimages-150318941daca_wide-212cdb55547bcde7840b89d700b604ced016eb07-s800-c85-240x135.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/gettyimages-150318941daca_wide-212cdb55547bcde7840b89d700b604ced016eb07-s800-c85-375x210.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/gettyimages-150318941daca_wide-212cdb55547bcde7840b89d700b604ced016eb07-s800-c85-520x292.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">People attend an orientation class in filing out their application for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program at Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles in August 2012 in Los Angeles. \u003ccite>(Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>At the moment there are at least two bipartisan bills that could grant legal status or create a pathway to citizenship for those who were eligible for DACA. In July, Sens.

And a companion bill was filed in the House by Reps. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., and Lucille Roybal-Allard, D-Calif.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, Rep.

While Rep. Carlos Curbelo, R-Fla., introduced the \u003ca href=\"http://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article137589403.html\">Recognizing America’s Children Act\u003c/a>, a plan that has some support in his party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Durbin introduced an earlier version of the DREAM Act — the “Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act” — in late 2010; that bill \u003ca href=\"http://www.factcheck.org/2011/07/did-obama-enact-dream-act/\">failed to get enough votes to allow a floor vote\u003c/a>. But the legislative project goes back much longer than the middle of Obama’s first term as president. Durbin first filed legislation about the DREAMers in 2001. “Other versions passed the House in 2010 and in the Senate, as part of a larger immigration bill, in 2013.

The Department of Justice has carefully evaluated the program’s constitutionality and determined it conflicts with our existing immigration laws.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Announcing the decision Tuesday morning, Attorney General Jeff Sessions said, “Such an open-ended circumvention of immigration laws was an unconstitutional exercise of authority by the Executive Branch.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Trump (@realDonaldTrump) \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/905038986883850240\">September 5, 2017\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>State politicians and officials reacted swiftly to the news. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“DACA recipients make our nation strong and represent the best of America. The President’s decision undermines our nation’s values and is a cruel betrayal to the more than 800,000 young people, including more than 200,000 Californians, who have only ever known the United States of America as their home,” Sen. Kamala Harris said in a statement. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>University of California President Janet Napolitano released a statement urging Congress to pass legislation providing a permanent solution for the thousands who are now without a path to citizenship. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former President Obama \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/barackobama/posts/10155227588436749\">issued a statement on Facebook\u003c/a>, calling the decision “cruel” and “self-defeating.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Let’s be clear: the action taken today isn’t required legally. It’s a political decision, and a moral question,” he said. Obama added, “Whatever concerns or complaints Americans may have about immigration in general, we shouldn’t threaten the future of this group of young people who are here through no fault of their own, who pose no threat, who are not taking away anything from the rest of us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/consideration-deferred-action-childhood-arrivals-daca#guidelines\">DACA\u003c/a> allowed individuals who were brought to the U.S. as children or teens before mid-2007 to apply for protection from deportation and work permits if they met certain requirements. Beneficiaries had to be under the age of 16 upon entering the country; no older than 31 as of June 15, 2012; lived continuously in the U.S. since mid-2007; be enrolled in high school or college, already have a diploma or degree, have a GED certificate or be an honorably discharged veteran of the U.S. military; and have no felony criminal convictions, significant misdemeanor convictions, no more than three other misdemeanor convictions or otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The program did not provide lawful immigration status. Instead, through what the Obama administration characterized as the exercise of prosecutorial discretion, it granted a deferral from possibly being removed from the U.S. to those who qualified; it also granted work permits. The deferrals and permits were granted for two-year periods and could be renewed for additional two-year periods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says its enforcement priorities have not changed. It has no plans to target DACA holders as their permits expire. They will be eligible for deportation but a low priority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The USCIS generally has not referred cases in which a person’s DACA application is denied to immigration enforcement authorities unless the case involves a criminal offense, fraud or a threat to national security or public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The “DREAMers” had been in legal limbo since the start of the current administration. Throughout his campaign, Trump railed against the 2012 executive order signed by President Obama — and pledged to “immediately terminate the policy” once he took office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But after being sworn in, he expressed some compassion toward DACA recipients. In an interview with ABC News on Jan. 25, \u003ca href=\"http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/transcript-abc-news-anchor-david-muir-interviews-president/story?id=45047602\">Trump said\u003c/a>, “They shouldn’t be very worried. I do have a big heart. We’re going to take care of everybody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Obama program was thrown into the center of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/08/04/541675160/immigrant-advocates-prepare-for-threats-against-daca-program\">looming court battle\u003c/a> in late June when a coalition of 10 state attorneys general, led by Texas’ Ken Paxton, \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/story/2017/06/29/texas-attorney-general-end-daca-dreamers-240121\">threatened to sue the Trump administration\u003c/a> as early as Sept. 5 if it refused to phase out DACA. They argued that Obama had overstepped his authority in creating and implementing the program. Only Congress has the authority to legislate such a change in U.S. immigration law, they contended.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[T]he program represents an unconstitutional exercise of legislative power by the Executive Branch,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2017/07/26/trump-not-king-we-must-phase-out-daca-and-return-rule-law-column/488732001/\">Paxton wrote in an op-ed\u003c/a> for \u003cem>USA Today\u003c/em> in late July. “Phasing out DACA is about the rule of law, not the wisdom of any particular immigration policy,” Paxton also wrote at the time before emphasizing the principle of separation of powers at the heart of the structure of the federal government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney General Jeff Sessions had advocated for the termination of DACA but, \u003ca href=\"https://www.buzzfeed.com/adriancarrasquillo/steve-bannon-helped-preserve-daca-but-democrats-and-activist?utm_term=.crnEpe4OAq#.wapE4R1M8W\">as BuzzFeed reported in March\u003c/a>, he was often out-argued by former chief of staff Reince Priebus and former chief strategist Steve Bannon, who like Trump, wanted to see it preserved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bannon, who held hardline views on immigration that aligned more closely with Sessions on other policy issues, reportedly had convinced the president to spare DREAMers and use them “as a strategic asset in the coming immigration policy battles.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with Bannon and Priebus now gone from the West Wing, it appears the position held by Sessions and Stephen Miller, another Trump White House aide with ties to Sessions, has won out — under the pressure exerted by Paxton and some of his fellow state attorneys general.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s decision leaves Congress facing increasing pressure to find a solution for a population that was estimated in 2012 to include as many as \u003ca href=\"https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/research/who-and-where-dreamers-are-revised-estimates\">1.8 million immigrants\u003c/a> — of which \u003ca href=\"http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/01/05/unauthorized-immigrants-covered-by-daca-face-uncertain-future/\">about 800,000\u003c/a> have been granted deferred status under DACA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11615500\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/gettyimages-150318941daca_wide-212cdb55547bcde7840b89d700b604ced016eb07-s800-c85-800x449.jpg\" alt=\"People attend an orientation class in filing out their application for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program at Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles in August 2012 in Los Angeles.\" width=\"800\" height=\"449\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11615500\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/gettyimages-150318941daca_wide-212cdb55547bcde7840b89d700b604ced016eb07-s800-c85.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/gettyimages-150318941daca_wide-212cdb55547bcde7840b89d700b604ced016eb07-s800-c85-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/gettyimages-150318941daca_wide-212cdb55547bcde7840b89d700b604ced016eb07-s800-c85-240x135.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/gettyimages-150318941daca_wide-212cdb55547bcde7840b89d700b604ced016eb07-s800-c85-375x210.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/gettyimages-150318941daca_wide-212cdb55547bcde7840b89d700b604ced016eb07-s800-c85-520x292.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">People attend an orientation class in filing out their application for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program at Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles in August 2012 in Los Angeles. \u003ccite>(Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>At the moment there are at least two bipartisan bills that could grant legal status or create a pathway to citizenship for those who were eligible for DACA. In July, Sens.

And a companion bill was filed in the House by Reps. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., and Lucille Roybal-Allard, D-Calif.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., introduced the \u003ca href=\"https://gutierrez.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/american-hope-act-introduced-protect-immigrant-youth-and-those-daca\">American Hope Act\u003c/a>. While Rep. Carlos Curbelo, R-Fla., introduced the \u003ca href=\"http://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article137589403.html\">Recognizing America’s Children Act\u003c/a>, a plan that has some support in his party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Durbin introduced an earlier version of the DREAM Act — the “Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act” — in late 2010; that bill \u003ca href=\"http://www.factcheck.org/2011/07/did-obama-enact-dream-act/\">failed to get enough votes to allow a floor vote\u003c/a>. But the legislative project goes back much longer than the middle of Obama’s first term as president. Durbin first filed legislation about the DREAMers in 2001. “Other versions passed the House in 2010 and in the Senate, as part of a larger immigration bill, in 2013. But no bill has ever been passed by both chambers,”\u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/immigration/durbin-graham-file-dream-act-hoping-to-ward-off-legal-challenge-to-daca/2017/07/20/19ade326-6cd4-11e7-b9e2-2056e768a7e5_story.html?utm_term=.4771d1544ae9\"> according to the Washington Post\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2012, Obama stepped in with the DACA program when Congress failed to pass a version of the DREAM Act then.

But so far, Mexico has balked at paying for the wall. And so has Congress. The House \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/27/us/politics/house-spending-bill-border-wall.html\">has appropriated nearly $1.6 billion for the first phase of construction\u003c/a>, but the Senate hasn’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. “We are going to end catch and release.”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Administration officials say they’re following through on Trump’s promise to end so-called catch and release. That’s how many critics describe the policy that allowed many immigrants to go free until their court dates, which can often be years away because of court backlogs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In practice, \u003ca href=\"http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-immigration-detention-idUSKBN18X1G4\">it’s not clear that the Trump administration is handling these cases much differently\u003c/a> than previous administrations did. But there has been a dramatic drop in the number of people apprehended at the Southwest border since Trump took office — a 46 percent drop during the first seven months of the year compared to 2016, according to a DHS official. The total for March was the lowest in at least 17 years, although \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/sw-border-migration\">the numbers have started to creep back up\u003c/a> since then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. “Zero tolerance for criminal aliens.”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests are up more than 43 percent since late January compared to the same period in 2016, according to a DHS official. “We are still continuing to prioritize our resources on those individuals that create and pose the greatest public safety and national security threat,” the official said. And 72 percent of those arrested had criminal convictions, a much lower percentage than the final years of the Obama administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has pushed Congress for funding to hire more agents for ICE and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. But like funding for the border wall, Congress has yet to sign off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. “Block funding for sanctuary cities.”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Justice Department is trying to follow through on that promise to punish so-called sanctuary cities, which limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities. DOJ made some law enforcement grants contingent on whether those cities do more to help ICE.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Chicago and California quickly \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/08/07/541965366/chicago-to-sue-feds-over-funding-threats-to-sanctuary-cities\">took the administration to court\u003c/a>.

Texas and other states are \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/08/04/541675160/immigrant-advocates-prepare-for-threats-against-daca-program\">threatening to sue \u003c/a>if the administration doesn’t pull its support for DACA by Sept. 5.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6. “We are going to suspend the issuance of visas to any place where adequate screening cannot occur.”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is part of what Trump’s travel ban executive order was supposed to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The order Trump signed just a week after taking office would have blocked travelers from seven mostly Muslim countries that the administration says are known havens for terrorists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal courts put the original order on hold. But the Supreme Court allowed a \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/06/26/534447965/supreme-court-reinstates-part-of-trumps-travel-ban-agrees-to-hear-case\">limited version of the travel ban to take effect\u003c/a> until it can hear legal challenges to the ban in the fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7. “We will insure that other countries take their people back when they order them deported.”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump pointed out in Phoenix last year that immigrants with criminal records can wind up staying in the U.S. because their home country won’t take them back. The White House has \u003ca href=\"http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/countries-that-refuse-to-take-back-illegals-cut-in-half-big-win-for-trump/article/2627957\">reportedly cut the number of non-cooperative countries from 23 to 12\u003c/a>. Immigration hawks say that’s a big win, and that the administration deserves more credit for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8. “We will finally complete the biometric entry-exit visa tracking system which we need desperately.”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years, Congress has required the Department of Homeland Security to create a system to track everyone who comes in and out of the country using biometric technologies like facial recognition or fingerprint scanners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent years, a majority of new undocumented immigrants \u003ca href=\"http://cmsny.org/publications/jmhs-visa-overstays-border-wall/\">have overstayed temporary visas\u003c/a>, while the number crossing the border illegally has fallen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Customs and Border Protection is testing a few prototype systems at U.S. airports this summer. But experts say a comprehensive solution that will work at more than 300 land, sea and air ports of entry remains a long way off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>9. “We will turn off the jobs and benefits magnet.”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the spring, Trump signed an executive order directing federal agencies to “Buy American” and “Hire American,” and urging others to do the same.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But critics point out that \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2017/07/17/trumps-made-in-america-week-is-a-hypocritical-joke/\">Trump’s own companies continue to hire foreign guest workers and manufacture overseas\u003c/a>. And just as the White House’s “Made in America” week was underway in July, the administration announced it would allow \u003ca href=\"http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-immigration-visas-idUSKBN1A21PA\">an additional 15,000 temporary foreign workers\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>10. “We will reform legal immigration to serve the best interests of America and its workers, the forgotten people.”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, the White House \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/08/02/541104795/trump-to-unveil-legislation-limiting-legal-immigration\">threw its support behind the RAISE Act\u003c/a>, which would prioritize immigrants with valuable skills and high-paying U.S. job offers, and gradually reduce the number of other foreign nationals who can reunite with their families already living in the U.S. But there seems to be little enthusiasm for the bill in the Senate.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Its largest division — the Office of Field Operations — admits people and goods at 328 airports, land crossings and seaports. They admitted 390 million travelers during the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, including 119 million at airports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much of the work done by the agency is at border crossings along the U.S.-Mexico border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The busiest point of entry is San Diego’s San Ysidro crossing with Tijuana, Mexico, with 31.8 million admissions during the latest 12-month period, an average of 87,000 per day. El Paso, Texas, across from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, was second-busiest with 28.8 million admissions, followed by San Diego’s Otay Mesa crossing (17.8 million), Laredo, Texas (17.7 million), and New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (15.9 million).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The travel ban will mostly affect airports because that’s how visitors from the six countries generally arrive. Aside from JFK, the only airports to crack the top 20 in passenger volume are Miami International (No. 11), Los Angeles International (No. 12) and San Francisco International (No. 20).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>HOW WILL OFFICERS ENFORCE THE TRAVEL BAN?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration this week set new criteria for visa applicants from the six countries and for all refugees, requiring a “close” family or business tie to the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Visas that have already been approved will not be revoked, but instructions issued by the State Department say that new applicants from the six countries must prove a relationship with a parent, spouse, child, adult son or daughter, son-in-law, daughter-in-law or sibling already in the United States to be eligible. The same requirement, with some exceptions, holds for would-be refugees from all nations that are still awaiting approval for admission to the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grandparents, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, fiances or other extended family members are not considered to be close relationships, according to the guidelines that were issued in a cable sent to all U.S. embassies and consulates late on Wednesday. The new rules take effect at 8 p.m. EDT on Thursday, according to the cable, which was obtained by \u003cem>The Associated Press\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The task will fall largely to the State Department but Customs and Border Protection officers would get involved if someone from one of the six countries arrived without a visa or there was a reason to question the validity of their documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WHAT ILLEGAL ACTIVITY DO OFFICERS FIND?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Agents primarily seize drugs and stop people seeking to enter the country illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Drugs — increasingly heroin and methamphetamine — are commonly smuggled into the United States by car from Mexico. People also enter the country illegally by hiding in trunks or by using someone else’s travel documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officers denied admission 274,821 times at airports, land crossings and seaports during the latest fiscal year, an increase of 8 percent from the same period a year earlier. They seized 257 tons of marijuana, 26.3 tons of cocaine, 18.8 tons of methamphetamine and 2.1 tons of heroin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An estimated 40 percent of people in the country illegally overstay their visas, and one of the agency’s top priorities is to better track them. The absence of a system for people to check out when they leave the country makes that a daunting and expensive endeavor. Homeland Security said in May that nearly 740,000 foreigners overstayed visas during the latest fiscal year, and that was only for those who arrived by plane or ship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>IS IT DIFFERENT THAN BORDER PATROL?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Border Patrol is another division within the agency. Customs and Border Protection agents wear blue uniforms and patrol ports of entry. Border Patrol agents work areas between and wear green uniforms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Customs and Border Protection is the nation’s largest law enforcement agency, with about 60,000 employees and an annual budget of $13.5 billion. Trump has requested a 21 percent spending increase, partly to build a wall on the border with Mexico and hire more Border Patrol agents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WHAT ABOUT THE STAFFING SHORTAGE?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration said this month that it has 1,400 vacancies for officers at ports of entry. Customs and Border Protection has struggled to fill jobs for years, largely because an unusually high number of applicants fail to pass a polygraph that has been a hiring requirement since 2012. One official recently said 75 percent failed, more than double the average among law enforcement agencies surveyed by \u003cem>The Associated Press\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House of Representatives passed a bill this month to waive the polygraph requirement for many veterans and some other applicants. Customs and Border Protection recently said it was easing some physical fitness and language requirements in hiring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration has called for expanding the Border Patrol by 5,000 agents, but has not proposed any increase in officers at airports, land crossings and seaports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Associated Press writers Alicia A.

El Paso, Texas, across from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, was second-busiest with 28.8 million admissions, followed by San Diego’s Otay Mesa crossing (17.8 million), Laredo, Texas (17.7 million), and New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (15.9 million).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The travel ban will mostly affect airports because that’s how visitors from the six countries generally arrive. Aside from JFK, the only airports to crack the top 20 in passenger volume are Miami International (No. 11), Los Angeles International (No. 12) and San Francisco International (No. 20).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>HOW WILL OFFICERS ENFORCE THE TRAVEL BAN?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration this week set new criteria for visa applicants from the six countries and for all refugees, requiring a “close” family or business tie to the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Visas that have already been approved will not be revoked, but instructions issued by the State Department say that new applicants from the six countries must prove a relationship with a parent, spouse, child, adult son or daughter, son-in-law, daughter-in-law or sibling already in the United States to be eligible. The same requirement, with some exceptions, holds for would-be refugees from all nations that are still awaiting approval for admission to the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grandparents, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, fiances or other extended family members are not considered to be close relationships, according to the guidelines that were issued in a cable sent to all U.S. embassies and consulates late on Wednesday. The new rules take effect at 8 p.m. EDT on Thursday, according to the cable, which was obtained by \u003cem>The Associated Press\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The task will fall largely to the State Department but Customs and Border Protection officers would get involved if someone from one of the six countries arrived without a visa or there was a reason to question the validity of their documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WHAT ILLEGAL ACTIVITY DO OFFICERS FIND?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Agents primarily seize drugs and stop people seeking to enter the country illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Drugs — increasingly heroin and methamphetamine — are commonly smuggled into the United States by car from Mexico. People also enter the country illegally by hiding in trunks or by using someone else’s travel documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officers denied admission 274,821 times at airports, land crossings and seaports during the latest fiscal year, an increase of 8 percent from the same period a year earlier. They seized 257 tons of marijuana, 26.3 tons of cocaine, 18.8 tons of methamphetamine and 2.1 tons of heroin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An estimated 40 percent of people in the country illegally overstay their visas, and one of the agency’s top priorities is to better track them. The absence of a system for people to check out when they leave the country makes that a daunting and expensive endeavor. Homeland Security said in May that nearly 740,000 foreigners overstayed visas during the latest fiscal year, and that was only for those who arrived by plane or ship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>IS IT DIFFERENT THAN BORDER PATROL?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Border Patrol is another division within the agency. Customs and Border Protection agents wear blue uniforms and patrol ports of entry. Border Patrol agents work areas between and wear green uniforms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Customs and Border Protection is the nation’s largest law enforcement agency, with about 60,000 employees and an annual budget of $13.5 billion. Trump has requested a 21 percent spending increase, partly to build a wall on the border with Mexico and hire more Border Patrol agents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WHAT ABOUT THE STAFFING SHORTAGE?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration said this month that it has 1,400 vacancies for officers at ports of entry. Customs and Border Protection has struggled to fill jobs for years, largely because an unusually high number of applicants fail to pass a polygraph that has been a hiring requirement since 2012. One official recently said 75 percent failed, more than double the average among law enforcement agencies surveyed by \u003cem>The Associated Press\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House of Representatives passed a bill this month to waive the polygraph requirement for many veterans and some other applicants. Customs and Border Protection recently said it was easing some physical fitness and language requirements in hiring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration has called for expanding the Border Patrol by 5,000 agents, but has not proposed any increase in officers at airports, land crossings and seaports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
