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.",

During an unannounced visit last year, federal inspectors from the Department of Homeland Security's \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/assets/2018-10/OIG-18-86-Sep18.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Office of the Inspector General found\u003c/a> \"nooses\" made out of bed sheets in 15 out of 20 cells. The inspectors found guards overlooked the nooses even though a detainee had committed suicide using a bedsheet in 2017 and several others had attempted suicide using a similar method. The government audit concluded GEO Group guards improperly handcuffed and shackled detainees, unnecessarily placed detainees in solitary confinement and failed to provide adequate medical care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A separate investigation of Adelanto and other immigration detention facilities in California released in February by California Attorney General Xavier Becerra found similar health and safety problems and concluded that detainees were treated like prisoners, some kept in their cells for 22 hours a day, even though they have not been charged with a crime. A state law passed in 2017 directs the state to inspect and report on the treatment of immigrant detainees held in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a March 27 letter to GEO Group, Adelanto City Manager Jessie Flores informed the private prison operator that the contract would expire in 90 days, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11736531/adelanto-ending-contract-for-largest-immigration-detention-facility-in-california\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">KQED reported\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The alleged cases documented in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.disabilityrightsca.org/system/files/file-attachments/DRC_REPORT_ADELANTO-IMMIG_DETENTION_MARCH2019.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">most recent report\u003c/a> by Disability Rights California, a watchdog group with legal oversight to protect people with disabilities in the Golden State, are grim: detainees slitting their wrists; discontinued medication for depression; and ignored requests for wheelchairs and walkers. At least one detainee claimed that guards pepper-sprayed him when he did not stand up, and a second time while he tried to hang himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a written statement, GEO Group says it \"strongly disputes the claims\" in the report, and that the remedies recommended by Disability Rights California \"were already in place.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are deeply committed,\" the company says, \"to delivering high-quality, culturally responsive services in safe and humane environments.\" An ICE spokesperson says, in an emailed statement, that GEO Group's Adelanto facility is in \"full compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Mario, who was inside Adelanto for six months in 2018, says the report describes his own experiences there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What's happening is all those claims that have been made against GEO and the staff in the medical department are finally being backed up by reports,\" Mario says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He asked us not to use his last name since he's out on bond and still fighting deportation. Mario is now 32; he crossed the border with his parents without documentation when he was 5.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2017, he was convicted of a misdemeanor and ICE agents picked him up at his home in Ontario, California. At the time, Mario was seeing a therapist for depression and taking medication. It took three weeks to get back on antidepressants, he says, and the sessions with the psychologists at Adelanto were only cursory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They keep their actual sessions to five to 10 minutes,\" he says. \"It's basically like a quick check-in. They just ask you, 'How are you? Do you have any suicidal thoughts? When is your next court date?' It's one of those things that I feel is basically done just to say, 'All right, we did it.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mario is gay and lived in a room with three other men, including a gay man from Mexico who was seeking asylum. The two men became close friends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He was persecuted in Mexico because of being gay,\" Mario says. Months of detention \"and not getting any mental health care really took a toll on him. And that's when he cut himself. He cut his wrist with a razor blade that we get to shave. And after that he was placed in solitary confinement for about a week.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mario says when his friend came back to their room, he was taking some sort of medication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"After that, all he did was sleep,\" Mario says. \"When the food was ready I'd go call him: 'OK, it's time to eat.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other detainees and immigration lawyers described a similar pattern, of GEO psychiatrists prescribing antipsychotic medications that make people sleep much of the time. It's one of the reasons people were reluctant to seek help, Mario says. But also, like other detainees, he was worried about being labeled as depressed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I couldn't express whenever I was extremely feeling sad or depressed or anxious because I was afraid that would be used against me in court,\" he explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judges cannot use mental health conditions to deny legal status to a detainee, according to immigration attorneys.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, long after GEO Group says the company addressed any problems detailed in the Disability Rights California report, detainees in Adelanto staged a hunger strike. The detainees gave an attorney a handwritten note, which was released by the Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice, an advocacy group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chief among their demands was speedier access to good medical care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://khn.org/news/author/sarah-varney/\" target=\"_blank\">Sarah Varney\u003c/a>\u003cem> is a senior national correspondent at Kaiser Health News, a nonprofit health newsroom that is an editorially independent part of the Kaiser Family Foundation.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2019 Kaiser Health News.

The inspectors found guards overlooked the nooses even though a detainee had committed suicide using a bedsheet in 2017 and several others had attempted suicide using a similar method.

At least one detainee claimed that guards pepper-sprayed him when he did not stand up, and a second time while he tried to hang himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a written statement, GEO Group says it \"strongly disputes the claims\" in the report, and that the remedies recommended by Disability Rights California \"were already in place.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are deeply committed,\" the company says, \"to delivering high-quality, culturally responsive services in safe and humane environments.\" An ICE spokesperson says, in an emailed statement, that GEO Group's Adelanto facility is in \"full compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Mario, who was inside Adelanto for six months in 2018, says the report describes his own experiences there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What's happening is all those claims that have been made against GEO and the staff in the medical department are finally being backed up by reports,\" Mario says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He asked us not to use his last name since he's out on bond and still fighting deportation. Mario is now 32; he crossed the border with his parents without documentation when he was 5.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2017, he was convicted of a misdemeanor and ICE agents picked him up at his home in Ontario, California. At the time, Mario was seeing a therapist for depression and taking medication. It took three weeks to get back on antidepressants, he says, and the sessions with the psychologists at Adelanto were only cursory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They keep their actual sessions to five to 10 minutes,\" he says. \"It's basically like a quick check-in. They just ask you, 'How are you? Do you have any suicidal thoughts? When is your next court date?' It's one of those things that I feel is basically done just to say, 'All right, we did it.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mario is gay and lived in a room with three other men, including a gay man from Mexico who was seeking asylum. The two men became close friends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He was persecuted in Mexico because of being gay,\" Mario says. Months of detention \"and not getting any mental health care really took a toll on him. And that's when he cut himself. He cut his wrist with a razor blade that we get to shave. And after that he was placed in solitary confinement for about a week.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mario says when his friend came back to their room, he was taking some sort of medication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"After that, all he did was sleep,\" Mario says. \"When the food was ready I'd go call him: 'OK, it's time to eat.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other detainees and immigration lawyers described a similar pattern, of GEO psychiatrists prescribing antipsychotic medications that make people sleep much of the time. It's one of the reasons people were reluctant to seek help, Mario says. But also, like other detainees, he was worried about being labeled as depressed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I couldn't express whenever I was extremely feeling sad or depressed or anxious because I was afraid that would be used against me in court,\" he explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judges cannot use mental health conditions to deny legal status to a detainee, according to immigration attorneys.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, long after GEO Group says the company addressed any problems detailed in the Disability Rights California report, detainees in Adelanto staged a hunger strike. The detainees gave an attorney a handwritten note, which was released by the Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice, an advocacy group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chief among their demands was speedier access to good medical care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://khn.org/news/author/sarah-varney/\" target=\"_blank\">Sarah Varney\u003c/a>\u003cem> is a senior national correspondent at Kaiser Health News, a nonprofit health newsroom that is an editorially independent part of the Kaiser Family Foundation.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2019 Kaiser Health News.

The agency will upgrade housing modules to meet these needs and temporarily shut one of the jails used for detainees to help offset the loss of revenue from the immigration contract, the department said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Self-help programs are vital to be able to rehabilitate yourself,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sauceda came to the U.S. as a child with a green card, but at age 14 he was convicted of a second-degree, gang-related murder in Los Angeles. In the more than two decades Sauceda spent in state prisons, he earned a college degree and worked in a gang prevention program for at-risk kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A parole board granted his release on November 17, 2017. But before Sauceda could walk free, ICE took custody of him, because his criminal conviction made him deportable. He was locked up that same day at the Yuba County Jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was able to change my life and detach from any gang involvement,” Sauceda said. “I'm a college graduate. I rehabilitated myself. I was able to prove to the state of California that I was no longer a threat to society.

But the agency has rarely imposed any financial penalties on contractors, despite “thousands of deficiencies and instances of serious harm to detainees” at the facilities, according to a recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.dhs.gov/taxonomy/term/3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report\u003c/a> by the Office of Inspector General at the Department of Homeland Security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigration detention is not supposed to be a punishment under the law, unlike imprisonment in the criminal justice system, but ICE holds people in jail-like settings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sauceda said detainees on his floor want access to more vocational training and education opportunities available to other inmates so that they can improve their case for release before an immigration judge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They don’t provide us with anything to improve our conditions. Self-help programs are vital to be able to rehabilitate yourself,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sauceda came to the U.S. as a child with a green card, but at age 14 he was convicted of a second-degree, gang-related murder in Los Angeles. In the more than two decades Sauceda spent in state prisons, he earned a college degree and worked in a gang prevention program for at-risk kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A parole board granted his release on November 17, 2017. But before Sauceda could walk free, ICE took custody of him, because his criminal conviction made him deportable. He was locked up that same day at the Yuba County Jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was able to change my life and detach from any gang involvement,” Sauceda said. “I'm a college graduate. I rehabilitated myself. I was able to prove to the state of California that I was no longer a threat to society. But the moment I arrived at this county jail, I was again labeled as gang-affiliated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11725762\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11725762\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/RS26107_jail-hallway-with-bars-01-11-17-qut-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/RS26107_jail-hallway-with-bars-01-11-17-qut-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/RS26107_jail-hallway-with-bars-01-11-17-qut-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/RS26107_jail-hallway-with-bars-01-11-17-qut-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/RS26107_jail-hallway-with-bars-01-11-17-qut-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/RS26107_jail-hallway-with-bars-01-11-17-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Yuba County Jail can hold up to 433 inmates.

Last summer, a divided U.S. Supreme Court upheld travel restrictions for five Muslim-majority nations — Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen — as well as North Korea and some officials from Venezuela.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The government said waivers can be granted in exceptional circumstances, but critics argue that very few people have been granted waivers and the process has not been working as announced.

Jerry McNerney, D-Stockton, said he wants to send a message to Trump by bringing his constituent Hassan to the State of the Union.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we need to do is show the president that these are human beings, that our country has to have a more humane approach to immigration,” McNerney said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren, D-San Jose, who introduced a bill in 2017 to block the travel ban, said she was “proud” to invite Hassan’s wife Shaima Swileh to the president’s address, to bring attention to the family’s experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Muslim ban separates families from their loved ones, harms businesses and creates a false notion that people are bad actors by virtue of their birthplace,” Lofgren said in a statement. “I am proud to invite Shaima to bring attention to this issue and begin holding the Administration accountable for its un-American policies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several other Democratic representatives from California are also bringing immigrants to the State of the Union, including a deported Mexican nurse who recently returned on a work visa, an African asylum seeker who was detained for months by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals status.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11713472/obstacles-to-a-last-goodbye\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Obstacles to a Last Goodbye\u003cbr>\n\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11713472/obstacles-to-a-last-goodbye\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/waiver_121818_final-1180x712.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Abdullah was born in war-torn Yemen in 2016 during a conflict that has involved U.S.-made bombs dropped by Saudi jet fighters, war crimes and a growing humanitarian crisis.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>McNerney said that while lawmakers didn’t coordinate in advance, their choice of guests made sense given Trump’s emphasis on restricting immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a large population from around the world in California, and it's given our state strength,” McNerney said. “So I think it's obvious that members of California would want to showcase our strength.

They were prepared to put their therapeutic skills to use in the most unlikely place: the waiting area inside the bus station.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was easy for the women to spot the parents and children just released from detention: They were wearing brightly colored sweatsuits, parkas and brandless tennis shoes issued to them by ICE.

As she described crossing the Rio Grande with her 10-year-old daughter and 4-year-old son, she started to cry, remembering her fear that they might die.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we crossed the river, we got lost,” she said. “We didn’t have any water to drink. We spent four, five hours lost before we got picked up by immigration.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mother told Cruz that Border Patrol agents locked the family in a cold, windowless room for four days, and only gave them one sandwich and one juice box a day. When her children cried, she said, agents told her to shut them up. “’This isn’t your country’,” she said they told her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the family was transferred to ICE, the mother said they were given enough food to eat and access to showers, but she told Cruz she regrets putting her children through the experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I thought it would be easy to come here,” she said. “People told me, ‘Just turn yourself in to immigration!’ But no, it’s very difficult.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cruz listened attentively and reflected back what she’d heard: that the mother made the only choice she could.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The truth is you didn’t come because you wanted to, you came because you had to,” Cruz said. “It’s important to remember that even though your children suffered, you had to come to survive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The woman nodded and wiped away her tears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A couple of hours later, she and her kids boarded a bus to San Francisco, a trip that takes 39 hours.

Now they are heading to the East Coast to stay with relatives while their asylum claim is adjudicated.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Limits to Detention\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Under a 1997 legal settlement known as Flores, unaccompanied migrant children are not supposed to be held in US Customs and Border Protection facilities for longer than 72 hours except in “exceptional circumstances,” and they must be provided adequate food and shelter during their stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, attorneys for migrant children filed affidavits with a federal judge documenting numerous violations of the settlement. These included migrants’ lack of access to clean drinking water, being fed inadequate or inedible food, and being subject to unsanitary conditions, extreme cold and sleep deprivation. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But after two children died in CBP custody in December, officials indicated they would work to transfer parents and children to ICE family detention centers more quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">\u003cspan style=\"font-size: x-large\">‘You could see sometimes how intense and overwhelmed they are when they’re reliving their trauma because it’s still very raw and fresh.’\u003c/span>\u003ccite>Alicia Cruz\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, the Department of Homeland Security declined to confirm whether that has occurred.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an email to KQED, DHS spokeswoman Katie Waldman called the current situation “an immigration crisis,” and blamed the federal courts for creating a “loophole that rewards parents for bringing their children with them to the United States.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As long as activist judges continue to set national immigration policy they continue to put family units and innocent children in harm’s way,” she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In dozens of interviews in the Greyhound station, parents from Central American countries described dire conditions they endured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One young mother, also from Guatemala, told Cruz she fled because a gang tried to extort money from her and threatened to kill her family when she did not pay up. As she described crossing the Rio Grande with her 10-year-old daughter and 4-year-old son, she started to cry, remembering her fear that they might die.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we crossed the river, we got lost,” she said. “We didn’t have any water to drink. We spent four, five hours lost before we got picked up by immigration.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mother told Cruz that Border Patrol agents locked the family in a cold, windowless room for four days, and only gave them one sandwich and one juice box a day. When her children cried, she said, agents told her to shut them up. “’This isn’t your country’,” she said they told her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the family was transferred to ICE, the mother said they were given enough food to eat and access to showers, but she told Cruz she regrets putting her children through the experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I thought it would be easy to come here,” she said. “People told me, ‘Just turn yourself in to immigration!’ But no, it’s very difficult.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cruz listened attentively and reflected back what she’d heard: that the mother made the only choice she could.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The truth is you didn’t come because you wanted to, you came because you had to,” Cruz said. “It’s important to remember that even though your children suffered, you had to come to survive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The woman nodded and wiped away her tears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A couple of hours later, she and her kids boarded a bus to San Francisco, a trip that takes 39 hours. In her pocket was some cash Cruz gave her for meals, along with the name of a trauma recovery center in San Francisco that works with asylum seekers.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11714666/migrant-boy-8-dies-in-government-custody-in-new-mexico-hospital\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Migrant Boy, 8, Dies in Government Custody in New Mexico Hospital\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11712244/judges-ask-ice-to-make-courts-off-limits-to-immigration-arrests\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Judges Ask ICE to Make Courts Off Limits to Immigration Arrests\u003cbr>\n\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11718987/thousands-more-migrant-children-may-have-been-separated-from-families\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thousands More Migrant Children May Have Been Separated From Families\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Cruz said many of these families will need ongoing help to recover from what they’ve gone through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You could see sometimes how intense and overwhelmed they are when they’re reliving their trauma,” she said, “because it’s still very raw and fresh.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She and Mullen also know that the migrants will need to be able to talk about their experiences in a coherent and compelling way when it comes time for an interview with an asylum officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mullen said when someone is in a state of shock, they don’t always sound convincing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you’re really disconnected — and that’s often the case with PTSD — it sounds insincere and also it can be very vague,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two women spent five long days counseling migrants at the bus station.
