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>A federal judge who last year ordered the government to reunify 2,814 migrant children with their parents said Thursday that job is nearly done, clearing the way for the Trump administration to begin identifying thousands of other families that were separated even before the government announced its \"zero tolerance\" policy at the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It seems the government has done all it can do with respect to those 2,814 individuals,” U.S. District Court Judge Dana Sabraw said at a status teleconference. “Is it fair to say that we’re done, that everyone has been accounted for?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s basically right,” responded Lee Gelernt, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union who is representing the families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, Sabraw ordered the government to reunify children who were in custody as of June 26, 2018, with their parents. Since then most children have been released to a relative or foster home. Only 54 children are still awaiting release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in January the inspector general for the Department of Health and Human Services determined that \"thousands of children may have been separated during an influx that began in 2017, before the accounting required by the court.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.hhs.gov/oei/reports/oei-BL-18-00511.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report\u003c/a> found that officials with the Office of Refugee Resettlement, the agency responsible for caring for unaccompanied migrant children, estimated that thousands of children who passed through shelters since 2017 had been separated from a parent. However, because there was no integrated system for tracking separated families across government agencies, the total number and status of the children was unknown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, Sabraw ordered the government to submit by April 5 a detailed plan of how it would go about identifying those separated children and who would lead the effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re moving that forward,” U.S. Attorney Scott Stewart replied. He explained that the planning would involve several government agencies in a time-consuming process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sabraw ruled that those families should be included in the current class action lawsuit challenging the legality of the separations and may be entitled to relief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another issue Sabraw hoped to see resolved soon is the creation of standardized data for tracking family separations in the future, more objective and uniform criteria for determining when it's legal to separate a child from a parent and a protocol for reunifying families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>By the Numbers\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The government identified 2,814 children separated from a parent who were still in custody on June 26, 2018.

Of them, 21 children were denied reunification with parents immigration officials deemed “unfit” or “ineligible” and 33 were not reunified with parents who waived that right.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>11 children were mistakenly identified as separated\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n",

Since then most children have been released to a relative or foster home. Only 54 children are still awaiting release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in January the inspector general for the Department of Health and Human Services determined that \"thousands of children may have been separated during an influx that began in 2017, before the accounting required by the court.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

However, because there was no integrated system for tracking separated families across government agencies, the total number and status of the children was unknown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, Sabraw ordered the government to submit by April 5 a detailed plan of how it would go about identifying those separated children and who would lead the effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re moving that forward,” U.S. Attorney Scott Stewart replied.

The Democratic-controlled House \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/02/26/698345376/house-passes-resolution-to-block-trumps-national-emergency-declaration\">approved it last month\u003c/a>, 245-182, with just 13 House Republicans breaking with the White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>North Carolina GOP Sen. Thom Tillis penned \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/02/25/i-support-trumps-vision-border-security-i-would-vote-against-emergency/?utm_term=.ed6e52fd1845\">an opinion piece in the Washington Post\u003c/a> on Feb. 25 saying he would vote for the resolution blocking the president's actions to go around Congress to build a border wall, but reversed himself and opposed it on Thursday. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At stake is nearly $6 billion in federal funds that President Trump redirected in a Feb. 15 emergency declaration. The White House is seeking to take that money from accounts at the Treasury and Defense departments to build physical barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border. The president made the order after Congress agreed on a bipartisan basis to provide $1.375 billion in wall funds for this fiscal year, but Trump said it wasn't enough. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., initially counseled the president against invoking the national emergency out of concerns it would divide Senate Republicans and test the separation of powers, but he voted with the president on Thursday and defended his actions as lawful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He has simply operated within existing law, the National Emergencies Act of 1976, to invoke a narrow set of authorities to reprogram a narrow set of funds,\" McConnell said. \"If Congress has grown uneasy with this new law, as many have, then we should amend it.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats broadly oppose the wall, but have argued the resolution bends the intent of the law and the constitutional authority of Congress. \"We've never had a president like this. We've had lots of presidents with lots of foibles but none of them seem to equate their own ego with the entire functioning of the government of the United States except this one. We can't succumb to that,\" said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump said Thursday his declaration would withstand expected court challenges. \"The legal scholars all say it's totally constitutional. It's very important. It's really a border security vote,\" he said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many Senate Republicans aren't as sure. \"Never before has a president asked for funding, Congress has not provided it, and the president then has used the National Emergencies Act of 1976 to spend the money anyway,\" said Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., who said congressional authority to appropriate federal tax dollars is a \"crucial source of our freedom.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This declaration is a dangerous precedent,\" he added. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other Republicans tried and failed to cut a deal with the White House to help defeat the resolution. There was a last-ditch effort to get Trump to agree to back legislation by Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, to limit presidential authority to declare national emergencies going forward, but Trump told Lee he wouldn't support it, and Democrats said they'd block it anyway. \"We tried to cut a deal, the president didn't appear interested,\" Lee told reporters on Wednesday. He ultimately supported the resolution. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The resolution is the second Senate rebuke of the Trump administration this week. On Wednesday, senators approved a resolution to end U.S. support for the Saudi-led war in Yemen, which is another rejection of Trump administration policy. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rebukes are a reflection of the new divided government in Washington, with House Democrats planning on a more confrontational approach to a president than congressional Republicans, who worked hard to accommodate the president's agenda during his first two years in office. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

The Democratic-controlled House \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/02/26/698345376/house-passes-resolution-to-block-trumps-national-emergency-declaration\">approved it last month\u003c/a>, 245-182, with just 13 House Republicans breaking with the White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>North Carolina GOP Sen. Thom Tillis penned \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/02/25/i-support-trumps-vision-border-security-i-would-vote-against-emergency/?utm_term=.ed6e52fd1845\">an opinion piece in the Washington Post\u003c/a> on Feb. 25 saying he would vote for the resolution blocking the president's actions to go around Congress to build a border wall, but reversed himself and opposed it on Thursday. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At stake is nearly $6 billion in federal funds that President Trump redirected in a Feb. 15 emergency declaration. The White House is seeking to take that money from accounts at the Treasury and Defense departments to build physical barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border. The president made the order after Congress agreed on a bipartisan basis to provide $1.375 billion in wall funds for this fiscal year, but Trump said it wasn't enough. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., initially counseled the president against invoking the national emergency out of concerns it would divide Senate Republicans and test the separation of powers, but he voted with the president on Thursday and defended his actions as lawful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He has simply operated within existing law, the National Emergencies Act of 1976, to invoke a narrow set of authorities to reprogram a narrow set of funds,\" McConnell said. \"If Congress has grown uneasy with this new law, as many have, then we should amend it.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats broadly oppose the wall, but have argued the resolution bends the intent of the law and the constitutional authority of Congress. \"We've never had a president like this. We've had lots of presidents with lots of foibles but none of them seem to equate their own ego with the entire functioning of the government of the United States except this one. We can't succumb to that,\" said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump said Thursday his declaration would withstand expected court challenges. \"The legal scholars all say it's totally constitutional. It's very important. It's really a border security vote,\" he said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many Senate Republicans aren't as sure. \"Never before has a president asked for funding, Congress has not provided it, and the president then has used the National Emergencies Act of 1976 to spend the money anyway,\" said Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., who said congressional authority to appropriate federal tax dollars is a \"crucial source of our freedom.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This declaration is a dangerous precedent,\" he added. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

There was a last-ditch effort to get Trump to agree to back legislation by Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, to limit presidential authority to declare national emergencies going forward, but Trump told Lee he wouldn't support it, and Democrats said they'd block it anyway. \"We tried to cut a deal, the president didn't appear interested,\" Lee told reporters on Wednesday. He ultimately supported the resolution. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The resolution is the second Senate rebuke of the Trump administration this week. On Wednesday, senators approved a resolution to end U.S. support for the Saudi-led war in Yemen, which is another rejection of Trump administration policy. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rebukes are a reflection of the new divided government in Washington, with House Democrats planning on a more confrontational approach to a president than congressional Republicans, who worked hard to accommodate the president's agenda during his first two years in office. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.
