The models were meant to inform future wall designs, combining different features of the prototypes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The heavily redacted government documents reveal every mock-up was deemed vulnerable to at least one breaching technique. The report, obtained by KPBS through a Freedom of Information Act request filed in January, shows the final results of tactical teams trying to breach or scale the prototypes and mock-ups of the wall. During testing, the teams who observed the damage caused by one breaching technique decided to postpone it on other mock-ups. The technique’s nature was redacted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The (redacted) breaching technique was rescheduled to be last breaching technique on each mock-up, since the technique had the potential to impact the structural integrity of the entire mock-up,” the \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4891728-Border-Wall-Mock-Up-and-Prototype-Test-Final.html#document/p26/a454445\">report\u003c/a> states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Engineers interviewed by KPBS said these sections of the report show that the mock-ups were at risk of collapsing due to the redacted breaching technique.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It wasn’t intended on their part, but when they ran this test, they must have realized it was causing some kind of major damage to the mock-ups,” said Robert K. Dowell, associate professor of structural engineering at San Diego State University’s Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering. “And they put it at the end because of that. They thought it was going to collapse.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the prototypes, it’s unclear from the document whether they can be scaled. The \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4891728-Border-Wall-Mock-Up-and-Prototype-Test-Final.html#document/p121/a454470\">government redacted\u003c/a> almost the entire section on scaling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the report provides no evidence that the government tested how well the barriers resist the creation of tunnels beneath them. Resistance to tunneling was among the \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4895857-SOLICITATION-OFFER-AND-AWARD.html#document/p62/a454626\">project requirements\u003c/a>. Additionally, most of the prototypes failed to show they could be easily modified in response to different border landscapes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to a request for comment on the documented flaws of the barriers, U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman Ralph DeSio said the prototypes “were not and cannot be designed to be indestructible.” He said they were instead meant to help create barriers that would “impede or deny efforts to scale, breach, or dig under such a barrier, giving agents time to respond.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also added that no single prototype was “the intended end result.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Trump visited San Diego in March, he toured the prototype site as part of his campaign for still-nonexistent funds for his wall, projected to cost \u003ca href=\"https://www.kpbs.org/news/2018/jan/24/one-year-trumps-presidency-border-wall-remains-que/\">upwards of $20 billion\u003c/a>. He said his wall would stop \u003ca href=\"https://www.apnews.com/257492ff75ff43bd9c92e3152ff75d08\">99 percent of smugglers\u003c/a>, including those he described as “\u003ca href=\"https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2018/03/13/trump_illegals_able_to_cross_border_walls_are_like_professional_mountain_climbers.html\">professional mountain climbers\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The unveiling of the prototypes generated a lot of buzz. Fox News, Business Insider and the Los Angeles Times quoted unnamed officials who claimed the barriers had withstood attempts to scale and break them. Some of the headlines included these descriptions:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>– “\u003ca href=\"http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/01/30/trump-s-border-wall-prototypes-virtually-impassable-pass-rigorous-testing.html\">Virtually Impassable\u003c/a>”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>– “\u003ca href=\"https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-border-wall-prototypes-withstood-breaching-climbing-tests-2018-2\">Nearly impossible to scale\u003c/a>”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>– “\u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-border-wall-test-20180119-story.html\">Wall prototypes pass tests\u003c/a>”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s a breakdown of the actual results.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Q: Can The Barriers Be Breached?

Dowell, associate professor of structural engineering at San Diego State University’s Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering. “And they put it at the end because of that. They thought it was going to collapse.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the prototypes, it’s unclear from the document whether they can be scaled. The \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4891728-Border-Wall-Mock-Up-and-Prototype-Test-Final.html#document/p121/a454470\">government redacted\u003c/a> almost the entire section on scaling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the report provides no evidence that the government tested how well the barriers resist the creation of tunnels beneath them. Resistance to tunneling was among the \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4895857-SOLICITATION-OFFER-AND-AWARD.html#document/p62/a454626\">project requirements\u003c/a>. Additionally, most of the prototypes failed to show they could be easily modified in response to different border landscapes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to a request for comment on the documented flaws of the barriers, U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman Ralph DeSio said the prototypes “were not and cannot be designed to be indestructible.” He said they were instead meant to help create barriers that would “impede or deny efforts to scale, breach, or dig under such a barrier, giving agents time to respond.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also added that no single prototype was “the intended end result.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Trump visited San Diego in March, he toured the prototype site as part of his campaign for still-nonexistent funds for his wall, projected to cost \u003ca href=\"https://www.kpbs.org/news/2018/jan/24/one-year-trumps-presidency-border-wall-remains-que/\">upwards of $20 billion\u003c/a>.

She’s an elderly woman I recently met in Santa Monica. She’d been living on a $1,000 Social Security check each month. When the city started giving her a little money to cover her rent, she was overjoyed because the extra money meant she could help the homeless man across the street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am able to give $10 away,” Kaye said. “That’s just amazing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s empathy,” Mobley said. “It’s biblical, right?

I also know countless people in the state toil endlessly to help the homeless — shelter workers, advocates, police officers, paramedics, regular citizens and politicians. And I know many people living on California’s streets feel hurt, dejected, invisible and excluded by the rest of society.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This interplay got me curious about our collective capacity for empathy.

She’s an elderly woman I recently met in Santa Monica. She’d been living on a $1,000 Social Security check each month.

"content": "\u003cp>Six years ago, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sdcatholic.org/\">San Diego Diocese\u003c/a> recommended a priest — who faced credible accusations of sexual abuse — to continue ministering, including to children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Rev. J. Patrick Foley told KQED that the sexual abuse accusations against him are “false and libelous,\" and that he has not held retreats or ministered to children since 1995.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But officials with the San Diego Diocese said the claims against Foley are \"credible.” That’s according to a report the diocese released last week that \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-san-diego-priest-abuse-scandal-20180914-story.html\">names Foley and seven other priests\u003c/a> as facing credible accusations of sexual misconduct with minors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Five of those priests are believed to be deceased, one may have fled to Mexico, and two are living in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite knowing about those credible accusations of sexual abuse against Foley, the Catholic Church not only kept those accusations secret but also actively recommended him to work with minors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/Catholic-letter-of-recommendation.pdf\">recommendation letter\u003c/a> dated February 2012, San Diego's Monsignor Steven Callahan wrote that \"[Foley] is a person of good moral character and reputation ...

The judge agreed to set bail at $15,000 for the congressman and at $10,000 for his wife.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the arraignment, demonstrators holding signs that read \"Duncan Hunter Ethics and Integrity Matter\" and \"Crooked Duncan Hunter\" followed him as he walked to a pickup truck. He got in and removed a \"Lock me up!\" sign shoved onto the windshield as he was driven away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdca/press-release/file/1089516/download\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">60-count indictment\u003c/a> unsealed Tuesday charges the couple used more than $250,000 in campaign funds to finance family trips to Italy and Hawaii, golf outings, school tuition, theater tickets and even fast food purchases, and then attempted to conceal the illegal spending in federal records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even as the five-term incumbent was under investigation by the FBI, Hunter easily finished first by a 30-point margin in a June primary and established himself as a strong favorite to hold onto California's strongly Republican 50th Congressional District in San Diego and Riverside counties, where his father held the seat for many years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hunter's attorney, Gregory A.

House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi said Ryan should call on Hunter to resign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Secretary of State's Office said there is no process in the elections code for Hunter to remove his name from the ballot, and there can be no write-in candidates for the November election.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'The DOJ is politically motivated ...

They only have what you’re now seeing, that’s it. I’ve done nothing wrong. I say bring the trial now.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hunter also said the U.S. Department of Justice is conspiring to flip the 50th Congressional District from Republican to Democratic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is the U.S. government, what I would call the deep state,\" he said. \"Or folks in the U.S. government who don’t care what the election does, they want to rig the election in their own way ...

The spending ranged from the banal to the lavish, from movie tickets to a $6,288.74 family vacation at a resort in Hawaii.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Hunters spent substantially more than they earned,\" the indictment said. \"They overdrew their bank account more than 1,100 times in a 7-year period resulting in approximately $37,761 in 'overdraft' and 'insufficient funds' bank fees.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hunter said before becoming elected, he did not oversee his personal finances and instead relied on his wife to handle them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s my responsibility,\" Hunter said. \"It’s my account and I didn’t have enough personal visibility with my finances as I should have.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the allegations, Hunter remains confident he will be elected again in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We’re going to court,\" Hunter said. \"And I’m going to win in court and win my election and we’ll see where we are.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hunter has called the investigation into him biased, as he said one of its prosecutors attended a Hilary Clinton event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokeswoman for the Southern District of California said, \"The United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of California and the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C., reviewed and rejected Mr. Hunter’s complaints.

"content": "\u003cp>A five-year-old Guatemalan girl, Dailin Lopez, was listening to a court translator relay the messages of an immigration judge through headphones when she broke down sobbing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her 24-year-old father, Noe Lopez, had been told he could not participate in her hearing. But when Dailin became inconsolable, the judge requested that Lopez be brought in to soothe her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I took her headphones off,\" Lopez said. \"She was crying and crying and crying, and I said, 'calm down, they're not going to hurt you.' And she said, 'they're going to put me in jail,' and I said, 'don't worry, nothing is going to happen to you.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the Trump administration started \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/family-separation\">separating immigrant families\u003c/a>, children are increasingly having to appear before immigration judges without their parents. But attorneys in San Diego say the Department of Justice is even dividing the cases of families that were never physically separated while in custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lopez and his daughter were not subjected to the pain of family separation that nearly 3,000 families are experiencing. They got lucky -- after crossing the border through Tecate in October, they were released together on parole after a few days in detention. They are now living in Encinitas together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But their cases are being processed separately. Lopez's attorney Matt Holt said there's no reason for this, and that he's seen an increase in this happening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The government is choosing to give these families seeking asylum different court dates, different judges, and sometimes even forcing them to fight their cases in immigration courts in different cities,\" Holt said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Holt is working to consolidate their cases but he said that in the meantime, it is \"emotionally, logistically and financially exhausting for all parties.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department of Justice did not respond to a request for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMAdnEfw3x4\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lopez said he brought his daughter to the U.S. to seek asylum because members of a criminal organization in his home country had threatened to kill him and his daughter if he didn't join their ranks. He didn't want to. He had a degree in education and was working as a volunteer at an organization fighting against substance abuse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he wanted to be a good role model for his daughter and to teach her integrity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once in U.S. immigration custody, Lopez said, Border Patrol officers tried to take Dailin from him -- but he clung to her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm not letting go of her,\" he recalled saying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said officials also tried to get him to sign documents agreeing to self-deport -- but he knew a bit of English, and could see the words \"deportation to Guatemala\" on the paperwork. He refused to sign. Border Patrol did not immediately respond to a request for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lopez said he thinks he owes his fortune to a female officer with Immigration and Customs Enforcement who told her colleagues that they weren't treating him fairly. He said she worked to get him and his daughter released together.\u003c/p>\n\n",
