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.",

Gomez, 55, arrived in Tijuana around midday and asked authorities for a ride to a migrant shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mexican and U.S. authorities are asking San Diego-based nonprofits for help connecting asylum-seekers to legal services after they’re returned to Mexico. But Andrea Guerrero of Alliance San Diego said that's unrealistic, and that migrant advocacy groups don’t have the capacity to deal with this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's unreasonable to expect that they're going to be making international phone calls to access U.S.-based legal service providers who may or may not have the capacity to cross an international border,\" Guerrero said.

Nicole Ramos, an attorney with the nonprofit, said it doesn't have the capacity to represent the number of individuals that the U.S. plans to return to Mexico, and that this program \"will complicate even the most basic presentation of a case,\" as well as expose asylum-seekers to historically high levels of violence in Tijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mexican officials sent mixed signals on the crucial point of whether Mexico would impose limits on accepting families. Tonatiuh Guillen, commissioner of Mexico's National Immigration Institute, said Mexico would accept only people 18 to 60 years old, which rules out families with young children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Roberto Velasco, spokesman for Mexico's foreign relations secretary, said Friday that families would be considered case by case. And a Mexican official with direct knowledge of the process said Mexico requested that families be excluded from the policy but that the U.S. declined to make any commitment, conceding only to start with single adults. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the deliberations were not public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The launch is limited to San Diego's San Ysidro border crossing, the nation's busiest, though Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan wrote in a memo released Tuesday that it is expected to expand to other crossings \"in the near future.\" Adding to a sense of confusion, Guillen said Mexico will allow it only at the one crossing that connects San Diego and Tijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katie Waldman, a Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman, insisted families will be included. A sharp increase in Central American families seeking asylum in the U.S. led to the Trump administration's dramatic move, and limiting families would diminish the impact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It will be expanded across the entire Southwest border, and it will apply to family groups,\" Waldman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was in San Diego on Tuesday to observe the launch but had no public appearances. The U.S. Embassy in Mexico said in a news release that the program began Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mexico's foreign relations secretary said Friday that the U.S. would start with 20 people a day.

Gomez, 55, arrived in Tijuana around midday and asked authorities for a ride to a migrant shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mexican and U.S. authorities are asking San Diego-based nonprofits for help connecting asylum-seekers to legal services after they’re returned to Mexico. But Andrea Guerrero of Alliance San Diego said that's unrealistic, and that migrant advocacy groups don’t have the capacity to deal with this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's unreasonable to expect that they're going to be making international phone calls to access U.S.-based legal service providers who may or may not have the capacity to cross an international border,\" Guerrero said. She added that the new program \"undermines\" the due process rights of asylum-seekers.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11721178/one-shutdown-ends-another-begins\">One Shutdown Ends, Another Begins\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11721178/one-shutdown-ends-another-begins\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/shut_012519_final-1020x767.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The only pro bono legal service provider in Tijuana is Al Otro Lado. Nicole Ramos, an attorney with the nonprofit, said it doesn't have the capacity to represent the number of individuals that the U.S. plans to return to Mexico, and that this program \"will complicate even the most basic presentation of a case,\" as well as expose asylum-seekers to historically high levels of violence in Tijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mexican officials sent mixed signals on the crucial point of whether Mexico would impose limits on accepting families. Tonatiuh Guillen, commissioner of Mexico's National Immigration Institute, said Mexico would accept only people 18 to 60 years old, which rules out families with young children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Roberto Velasco, spokesman for Mexico's foreign relations secretary, said Friday that families would be considered case by case. And a Mexican official with direct knowledge of the process said Mexico requested that families be excluded from the policy but that the U.S. declined to make any commitment, conceding only to start with single adults. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the deliberations were not public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The launch is limited to San Diego's San Ysidro border crossing, the nation's busiest, though Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan wrote in a memo released Tuesday that it is expected to expand to other crossings \"in the near future.\" Adding to a sense of confusion, Guillen said Mexico will allow it only at the one crossing that connects San Diego and Tijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katie Waldman, a Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman, insisted families will be included. A sharp increase in Central American families seeking asylum in the U.S. led to the Trump administration's dramatic move, and limiting families would diminish the impact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It will be expanded across the entire Southwest border, and it will apply to family groups,\" Waldman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Some Central Americans squinted at the papers as if they were love letters they didn’t believe. “Open the border or we’ll shut it down! All of us must be allowed to enter!” the notes read in Spanish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The handouts, made in the United States, informed migrants of their legal right to seek asylum regardless of how they enter the U.S. Some featured illustrations of silhouetted families tearing down a chain-link fence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The flyers were written in the first-person plural, as if by the migrants themselves. But they were, in fact, authored by By Any Means Necessary (BAMN), a U.S.-based group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Getting across the border by any means necessary is absolutely the right thing to do,” BAMN national chair Shanta Driver told KPBS in a phone interview from the U.S. “We urge and encourage people to take mass action.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5U6fhSzzGE\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 64-year-old attorney and civil rights organizer said many migrants are not safe in Mexico.

Two migrant teenagers were killed in December while waiting to enter the U.S. BAMN has two to six “loosely organized” volunteers in Tijuana who have handed out hundreds of flyers, Driver said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KPBS asked Driver about the two \u003ca href=\"https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/u-s-officials-defend-using-tear-gas-on-migrants-heres-a-close-look-at-their-claims\">recent incidents\u003c/a> in which U.S. authorities launched \u003ca href=\"https://www.kpbs.org/news/2019/jan/02/us-fired-tear-gas-mexico-early-new-years-day/\">tear gas\u003c/a> into Mexico because people, including women and children, were approaching the border en masse, some in response to BAMN flyers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The (tear gas) doesn’t concern me and it didn’t concern the people who were part of the march,” Driver said. “They’ve been tear-gassed before.

He met us by the border in Playas de Tijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duke explained why the activists came to Tijuana in the first place. He said the Caravan Support Network started operating in Tijuana on Nov. 25, the day of the first tear-gas incident at the border, to provide food and other relief to migrants. Additionally, they wanted to protect the Central Americans from anti-migrant groups that were beginning to organize marches against them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When right-wing hate groups threaten to march on refugees, we’re going to put a call out to the community to stand in support of them … to put bodies in front of them if they’re threatened,” Duke said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Dec. 4, the far-right group Oath Keepers put out \u003ca href=\"https://oathkeepers.org/2018/12/oath-keepers-call-to-action-border-operation/\">a call to action\u003c/a> for militants to head to the border to “help stem the tide of illegal invasion.” The group did not respond to repeated requests for comment about those plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duke said his group has received death threats from anti-migrant activists, including one on Facebook that KPBS viewed: “I will kill you if you get too comfortable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said his group’s initiative to help the caravan is part of a larger plan: the “\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/asylumaid/\">Border Support Network\u003c/a>,” to set up camps on indigenous land along the entire U.S.-Mexico border, to try to stop President Trump’s wall construction and other projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They plan to launch this effort at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/somisekvillage/\">Somi Se’k Village Base Camp\u003c/a>, where, with the help of the local tribe, they will educate activists in flora and fauna conservation, indigenous ways of life and nonviolent direct action such as\u003ca href=\"https://wagingnonviolence.org/feature/tree-sits-make-for-high-drama/\"> tree sits\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeping_dragon_(manoeuver)\">sleeping dragons.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he believes in the Amazonian prophecy of the eagle and the condor, which says that two divided paths, represented by the birds of prey, will soon reunite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I advocate for an end to borders … that’s just me personally,” he said, emphasizing that not everyone in the Border Support Network has the same beliefs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked about the New Year’s incident, Duke said he wasn’t there. But his friend Brendon Tucker, a 24-year-old Texan, was there and wanted to correct the record about that night. He denied allegations that activists had done anything illegal. He said they ran into the migrants as they approached the fence of their own volition, and that the Americans stopped to document human rights abuses and to offer medical aid. Someone in their group had milk of magnesia, to counter tear gas effects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tucker said he wanted to help migrants after learning that the U.S. contributed to unrest in Central America, such as by backing military coups, sending guns, and emitting greenhouse gases that hurt harvests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe in cleaning up our own mess, and this is a mess we created in the first place,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tucker knows how to cook, and after hearing about family separations last summer, he set off to launch a kitchen for migrants south of Brownsville, Texas. When he heard thousands of migrants were going to be stuck in Tijuana while awaiting asylum in the U.S., he traveled west.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you see an injustice in your country, and you don’t speak out about it, there’s nothing less patriotic than that,” he said. “We need people en masse to show up and get involved. If you’re not involved now, I don’t know what you’re doing. You can’t sit out there and tweet about it all the time. You gotta get out and do something about it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tucker, who’s blonde with a Texas Hill Country accent, said he didn’t always feel passionately about this issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In Texas, we were taught Manifest Destiny like it was the best thing since sliced bread,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Books are what changed his mind about the superiority of the white race. He rattled off a list of books he said Americans who think of migrants as “criminals” should read: \"Manufacturing Consent\" by Edward S.

He told her he needed money to buy bus tickets for his two friends to join him.

He met us by the border in Playas de Tijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duke explained why the activists came to Tijuana in the first place. He said the Caravan Support Network started operating in Tijuana on Nov. 25, the day of the first tear-gas incident at the border, to provide food and other relief to migrants. Additionally, they wanted to protect the Central Americans from anti-migrant groups that were beginning to organize marches against them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When right-wing hate groups threaten to march on refugees, we’re going to put a call out to the community to stand in support of them … to put bodies in front of them if they’re threatened,” Duke said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Dec. 4, the far-right group Oath Keepers put out \u003ca href=\"https://oathkeepers.org/2018/12/oath-keepers-call-to-action-border-operation/\">a call to action\u003c/a> for militants to head to the border to “help stem the tide of illegal invasion.” The group did not respond to repeated requests for comment about those plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duke said his group has received death threats from anti-migrant activists, including one on Facebook that KPBS viewed: “I will kill you if you get too comfortable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said his group’s initiative to help the caravan is part of a larger plan: the “\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/asylumaid/\">Border Support Network\u003c/a>,” to set up camps on indigenous land along the entire U.S.-Mexico border, to try to stop President Trump’s wall construction and other projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They plan to launch this effort at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/somisekvillage/\">Somi Se’k Village Base Camp\u003c/a>, where, with the help of the local tribe, they will educate activists in flora and fauna conservation, indigenous ways of life and nonviolent direct action such as\u003ca href=\"https://wagingnonviolence.org/feature/tree-sits-make-for-high-drama/\"> tree sits\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeping_dragon_(manoeuver)\">sleeping dragons.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he believes in the Amazonian prophecy of the eagle and the condor, which says that two divided paths, represented by the birds of prey, will soon reunite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I advocate for an end to borders … that’s just me personally,” he said, emphasizing that not everyone in the Border Support Network has the same beliefs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked about the New Year’s incident, Duke said he wasn’t there. But his friend Brendon Tucker, a 24-year-old Texan, was there and wanted to correct the record about that night. He denied allegations that activists had done anything illegal. He said they ran into the migrants as they approached the fence of their own volition, and that the Americans stopped to document human rights abuses and to offer medical aid. Someone in their group had milk of magnesia, to counter tear gas effects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tucker said he wanted to help migrants after learning that the U.S. contributed to unrest in Central America, such as by backing military coups, sending guns, and emitting greenhouse gases that hurt harvests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe in cleaning up our own mess, and this is a mess we created in the first place,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tucker knows how to cook, and after hearing about family separations last summer, he set off to launch a kitchen for migrants south of Brownsville, Texas. When he heard thousands of migrants were going to be stuck in Tijuana while awaiting asylum in the U.S., he traveled west.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you see an injustice in your country, and you don’t speak out about it, there’s nothing less patriotic than that,” he said. “We need people en masse to show up and get involved. If you’re not involved now, I don’t know what you’re doing. You can’t sit out there and tweet about it all the time. You gotta get out and do something about it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tucker, who’s blonde with a Texas Hill Country accent, said he didn’t always feel passionately about this issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In Texas, we were taught Manifest Destiny like it was the best thing since sliced bread,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Books are what changed his mind about the superiority of the white race. He rattled off a list of books he said Americans who think of migrants as “criminals” should read: \"Manufacturing Consent\" by Edward S.

She said they would pull her hair and push her because of her accent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Hispanic people are all very jealous of each other,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the migrant shelter, Zuniga found a Honduran man she had met before, who had told her he had plans to go home. He told her he needed money to buy bus tickets for his two friends to join him.

"content": "\u003cp>It seems likely that thousands more migrant children were split from their families than the Trump administration previously reported, in part because officials were stepping up family separations long before the border policy that prompted international outrage last spring, a government watchdog said Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's unclear just how many family separations occurred at the U.S.-Mexico border as immigration officials are allowed under longstanding policy to separate families under certain circumstances. Health and Human Services, the agency tasked with caring for migrant children, did not adequately track them until after a judge ruled that children must be reunited with their families, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://oig.hhs.gov/newsroom/news-releases/2019/uac.asp\">report by the agency's inspector general\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ann Maxwell, assistant inspector general for evaluations, said the number of children removed from their parents was certainly larger than the 2,737 listed by the government in court documents. Those documents chronicled separations that took place as parents were criminally prosecuted for illegally entering the country under President Donald Trump's \"zero tolerance\" policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's certainly more,\" Maxwell said. \"But precisely how much more is unknown.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11714666/migrant-boy-8-dies-in-government-custody-in-new-mexico-hospital\">Migrant Boy, 8, Dies in Government Custody in New Mexico Hospital\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11714666/migrant-boy-8-dies-in-government-custody-in-new-mexico-hospital\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/gettyimages-1074813798_slide-540fd76cc9a78d0f54abeba6bd4348fdc5d1a3e8-1180x786.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Maxwell said investigators didn't have specific numbers, but that Health and Human Services staff had estimated the tally to be in the thousands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee Gelernt, an American Civil Liberties Union attorney who sued on behalf of a mother separated from her son, said the separation policy \"was a cruel disaster from the start. This report reaffirms that the government never had a clear picture of how many children it ripped from their parents.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the tens of thousands of children who come into government custody cross the border alone. But the report found that in late 2016, 0.3 percent of children turned over to Health and Human Services had crossed with a parent and were separated. By the summer of 2017, that percentage had grown to 3.6 percent, officials said. The watchdog did not have exact numbers, but the total number of migrant children who passed through the agency's care during the 2017 budget year was 40,810. The separated children had already been released to sponsors, who are generally parents or other close relatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The inspector general did not say why the children had been separated before the zero-tolerance policy. Immigration officials are allowed to take a child from a parent in certain cases such as serious criminal charges against a parent, concerns over the health and welfare of a child or medical concerns. That policy has long been in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katie Waldman, a spokeswoman for Homeland Security, said the report reinforced what officials have long said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For more than a decade it was and continues to be standard for apprehended minors to be separated when the adult is not the parent or legal guardian, the child's safety is at risk\" or there's a record of a \"serious criminal activity by the adult,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some cases, however, Homeland Security officials said a parent had a criminal history but did not offer details on the crimes, the watchdog reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Administration for Children and Families, the division under Health and Human Services that manages the care of unaccompanied minors, said it generally agreed with the findings and noted the report did not find that the agency lost track of children under its care. It also noted new policies were in place to help track newly separated children. The court never instructed officials to determine the number of children separated before the June 26 ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last spring, then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions said anyone caught crossing the border illegally would be criminally prosecuted. Families were brought into custody by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials, then their parents taken to criminal court.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11717702/thousands-of-immigrants-in-court-limbo-due-to-government-shutdown\">Thousands of Immigrants in Court Limbo Due to Government Shutdown\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11717702/thousands-of-immigrants-in-court-limbo-due-to-government-shutdown\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/GettyImages-923834000-1180x787.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>If the parents were gone longer than 72 hours — the length of time Border Patrol is allowed to hold children — the children were transferred to the custody of Health and Human Services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The practice prompted an outcry with church groups and lawmakers calling the separations inhumane. Trump ordered an end to the separations on June 20. At the time, a federal judge who was already hearing the case of a mother separated from her son ruled that children must be reunited with their parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite \"considerable\" effort by Health and Human Services to locate all the children placed in its care, the report said officials were still finding new cases as long as five months after the judge's order requiring reunifications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There is even less visibility for separated children who fall outside the court case,\" investigators concluded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They said it's not clear the system put in place to track separated children is good enough. The lack of detail from immigration authorities continues to be an issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The border remains a crucible for the Trump administration, with a partial government shutdown that has dragged on nearly a month over the president's demand for $5.7 billion for a border wall that congressional Democrats are unwilling to provide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The inspector general's office was also looking into other aspects of the separations, including the health and mental well-being of the children who had been separated. It expects to have other reports on the topic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said he would hold the government accountable in the matter. \"The Trump administration, with its unique blend of incompetence, cruelty and disregard for basic decency, misled the American public on one of its most heinous policies to date,\" he said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Health and Human Services, the agency tasked with caring for migrant children, did not adequately track them until after a judge ruled that children must be reunited with their families, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://oig.hhs.gov/newsroom/news-releases/2019/uac.asp\">report by the agency's inspector general\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ann Maxwell, assistant inspector general for evaluations, said the number of children removed from their parents was certainly larger than the 2,737 listed by the government in court documents. Those documents chronicled separations that took place as parents were criminally prosecuted for illegally entering the country under President Donald Trump's \"zero tolerance\" policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's certainly more,\" Maxwell said. \"But precisely how much more is unknown.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11714666/migrant-boy-8-dies-in-government-custody-in-new-mexico-hospital\">Migrant Boy, 8, Dies in Government Custody in New Mexico Hospital\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11714666/migrant-boy-8-dies-in-government-custody-in-new-mexico-hospital\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/gettyimages-1074813798_slide-540fd76cc9a78d0f54abeba6bd4348fdc5d1a3e8-1180x786.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Maxwell said investigators didn't have specific numbers, but that Health and Human Services staff had estimated the tally to be in the thousands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee Gelernt, an American Civil Liberties Union attorney who sued on behalf of a mother separated from her son, said the separation policy \"was a cruel disaster from the start. This report reaffirms that the government never had a clear picture of how many children it ripped from their parents.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the tens of thousands of children who come into government custody cross the border alone. But the report found that in late 2016, 0.3 percent of children turned over to Health and Human Services had crossed with a parent and were separated. By the summer of 2017, that percentage had grown to 3.6 percent, officials said. The watchdog did not have exact numbers, but the total number of migrant children who passed through the agency's care during the 2017 budget year was 40,810. The separated children had already been released to sponsors, who are generally parents or other close relatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The inspector general did not say why the children had been separated before the zero-tolerance policy. Immigration officials are allowed to take a child from a parent in certain cases such as serious criminal charges against a parent, concerns over the health and welfare of a child or medical concerns. That policy has long been in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It also noted new policies were in place to help track newly separated children. The court never instructed officials to determine the number of children separated before the June 26 ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last spring, then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions said anyone caught crossing the border illegally would be criminally prosecuted.

Trump ordered an end to the separations on June 20. At the time, a federal judge who was already hearing the case of a mother separated from her son ruled that children must be reunited with their parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite \"considerable\" effort by Health and Human Services to locate all the children placed in its care, the report said officials were still finding new cases as long as five months after the judge's order requiring reunifications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There is even less visibility for separated children who fall outside the court case,\" investigators concluded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They said it's not clear the system put in place to track separated children is good enough. The lack of detail from immigration authorities continues to be an issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The border remains a crucible for the Trump administration, with a partial government shutdown that has dragged on nearly a month over the president's demand for $5.7 billion for a border wall that congressional Democrats are unwilling to provide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The inspector general's office was also looking into other aspects of the separations, including the health and mental well-being of the children who had been separated. It expects to have other reports on the topic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said he would hold the government accountable in the matter. \"The Trump administration, with its unique blend of incompetence, cruelty and disregard for basic decency, misled the American public on one of its most heinous policies to date,\" he said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

That number will likely grow by another 20,000 cancellations each week the shutdown continues, according to researchers at Syracuse University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is experiencing \u003ca href=\"http://trac.syr.edu/immigration/reports/543/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the most cancellations\u003c/a>.

That would force people to wait potentially another two or three years to see a judge, said Marks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It can be devastating for individuals,\" she said. \"They can lose track of witnesses that they need to help present their case. They may have to pay lawyers all over again to prepare the case.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Requests for comments to officials in the EOIR went unanswered.

One of those cases involved a woman with Down syndrome, who is applying for asylum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our main concern is having the cases delayed, in particular for the asylum-seeker,\" said Seay. \"The longer it takes to get through preliminary hearings, the longer it'll take to get to the final hearing, because the backlog is growing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nationwide, the average wait time for immigration cases to be resolved is almost \u003ca href=\"http://trac.syr.edu/phptools/immigration/court_backlog/apprep_backlog_avgdays.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">two years\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judge Marks said it's \"ironic\" the shutdown — over the president's demand for a border wall — is hobbling immigration courts in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If this is about good immigration enforcement, the immigration courts need to be up and working,\" said Marks, who has served on the bench for 33 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So that people who should be removed from the United States can be removed in a reasonable period of time, and individuals who are entitled to remain under our immigration laws are given their day in court.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CLARIFICATION: (Editor's note 1/17/19) This story originally misstated that according to one estimate, immigration judges would have resolved more than 5,000 cases per week if it weren't for the shutdown.
