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>The U.S. Department of Justice has broken off negotiations to pay monetary damages to families who were forcibly separated at the border during the Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The negotiations, which began in the early months of the Biden administration, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/family-separations\">and have been reported on extensively by KQED\u003c/a>, were aimed at settling claims brought by migrant families who were separated by U.S. authorities while seeking to enter the country for asylum and other reasons — as part of the previous administration’s “zero tolerance” policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But government officials abruptly pulled the plug on all settlement talks on Thursday, Lee Gelernt, a lawyer at the American Civil Liberties Union and one of the lead negotiators, told NPR.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Lee Gelernt, ACLU attorney representing migrant families\"]‘We can see no reason for this other than this administration does not want to use any political capital to help these children. History will not judge this decision kindly.’[/pullquote]Gelernt said the Justice Department did not explain why it was walking away from the talks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can see no reason for this other than this administration does not want to use any political capital to help these children,” Gelernt said. “History will not judge this decision kindly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, the Department of Justice said the parties have been unable to reach a settlement, but “we remain committed to engaging with the plaintiffs and to bringing justice to the victims of this abhorrent policy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/01/27/961048895/justice-department-rescinds-trumps-zero-tolerance-immigration-policy\">controversial immigration policy was dismantled\u003c/a> within Biden’s first week as president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In all, the Trump administration separated more than 5,000 families who crossed into the U.S. without visas. Under the policy, adults who entered the U.S. from the southern border were prosecuted for illegal entry. Because children cannot be imprisoned with adults, they were taken into separate federal facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Government reports ultimately found the administration had no clear plan nor had it allocated resources to help reunite parents or guardians with their children when it implemented its zero-tolerance policy. Hundreds of families remain separated, and many more say they are still suffering the effects of the separation. And more than 100 have brought claims seeking monetary damages from the government, Gelernt said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans and Democrats eventually appeared united against the draconian policy, calling it a humanitarian failure.
