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.",

But he released his response before Trump even delivered the first words of his remarks, anticipating a speech in which the president doubled down on his demand for the construction of a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border. \u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'We are ready to reject this senseless proposal in court the moment it touches the ground.'\u003ccite>California Attorney General Xavier Becerra\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"The idea of declaring a state of emergency on the border that does not exist, to justify robbing funds that belong to the victims of fires, floods and hurricanes, to pay for the wall is not only immoral, it is illegal,\" Becerra said in Spanish, alluding to reports that Trump may \u003ca href=\"https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/424904-puerto-rico-governor-hits-report-trump-wants-to-use-disaster-funding\">tap into disaster relief funds\u003c/a> to construct the wall. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president did not mention using emergency powers to build the wall in his speech, but has suggested to reporters that he might consider using those powers if Congress doesn't agree to authorize its funding in a spending bill for the Department of Homeland Security. Declaring a national emergency would allow the president to divert funding set aside for other purposes for the wall. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his speech, Trump painted an urgent crisis at the border, speaking of \"large, organized caravans\" at the southern border, but most of the migrants waiting at the border have obtained a humanitarian visa from the Mexican government, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/02/05/690345256/fact-check-trumps-state-of-the-union-address#caravans-on-their-way-28\">NPR's John Burnett and Carrie Kahn\u003c/a>.

Trump would face strong pushback immediately by the Democratic-controlled House, but he is also facing opposition from some members of his own party in the Republican-controlled Senate, which could mean a resolution of disapproval could pass both chambers. \u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11722713/pelosi-i-wont-let-republicans-shut-down-government-again\">Pelosi: I Won't Let Republicans Shut Down Government Again\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11722713/pelosi-i-wont-let-republicans-shut-down-government-again\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/GettyImages-1126478789-1038x576.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Legal action in the federal courts is also another likely route to challenge any emergency declaration, and Becerra is a familiar opponent.

In early January, a federal judge blocked that decision and said the program could continue as lawsuits move forward in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becerra, 61, has said that Trump's anti-immigrant rhetoric reminds him of the discrimination his own parents faced. \u003ca href=\"https://history.house.gov/People/Detail/9147\">His father\u003c/a> was born in Sacramento but grew up in Tijuana, Mexico, and his mother was raised in Guadalajara, Mexico. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his speech, President Trump highlighted crimes committed by people in the country illegally, despite research showing \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/06/22/622540331/fact-check-trump-illegal-immigration-and-crime\">immigrants commit crimes at lower rates\u003c/a> than people born in the U.S. and that illegal immigration does not increase the prevalence of violent crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My parents had to put up with some of these indignities, these injustices.

Al salir de Guadalajara, Jalisco, México, trajeron con ellos su fé y no mucho más. Confiaban en la promesa de este país de que todos aquellos que se esfuerzan y cumplen con las reglas, se han ganado la oportunidad de salir adelante.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sé que soy producto de los que lucharon por abrir estas puertas de oportunidad. El optimismo que caracteriza las olas de inmigrantes que han llegado aquí corre en mi sangre. Y si el estado de nuestra nación se puede caracterizar como fuerte, es porque gente como mis padres y los suyos ciudadanos o migrantes — construyeron este país.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Durante 24 años de servicio como congresista en Washington, yo conocí mucho de nuestro gran país y trabajé con tres presidentes diferentes. Y, ahora, como fiscal general, defendiendo y abogando por los derechos de millones de americanos aquí en California, y por extensión, en todo los Estados Unidos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Permítanme una observación obvia: No hay otro país como los Estados Unidos. El mundo nos necesita fuerte y listo. Y nos busca como líder y socio. Si se cae América, todo el mundo se lastima. El estado de nuestro país decide destinos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¿Cómo puede ser, entonces, que el estado de nuestra joven, rica, y fuerte nación ahora es desorden, tensión, hostilidad?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¿Cómo puede ser que lo que defina el estado de nuestro país en el año 2019 es el cierre del gobierno a manos del presidente Trump? Y no sólo una vez, pero quizás una segunda vez en las próximas semanas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¿Quién pudiera creer que el estado de nuestra Unión sea impulsada por una obsesión extravagante del presidente Trump de construir un muro en la frontera que ni los expertos quieren? El presidente ya ni repite su promesa de que México pagaría los miles de millones que cuesta este muro.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y sí todo eso no fuera suficiente para preocuparnos, ¿cómo se explica que nuestra nación vive bajo una intensa investigación sobre la interferencia rusa en nuestras elecciones presidenciales del 2016 y sobre el papel que jugó el Presidente Trump? Criminalidad, conspiración, obstrucción de justicia — todas estas sombras oscuras siguen a Donald Trump y a su administración.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No es sorpresa que la mayoría del pueblo aquí en los Estados Unidos piense que el país camina en la dirección equivocada.

Es más, ya lo hicimos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¿No me lo creen? Con sus votos el noviembre pasado, ustedes cambiaron la composición del congreso.

Declaring a national emergency would allow the president to divert funding set aside for other purposes for the wall. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his speech, Trump painted an urgent crisis at the border, speaking of \"large, organized caravans\" at the southern border, but most of the migrants waiting at the border have obtained a humanitarian visa from the Mexican government, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/02/05/690345256/fact-check-trumps-state-of-the-union-address#caravans-on-their-way-28\">NPR's John Burnett and Carrie Kahn\u003c/a>.

It would freeze the number of border patrol agents and block any wall construction in wildlife refuges along the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi suggested she would be open to vehicle barriers called \"Normandy fencing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If the president wants to call that a wall, he can call that a wall. ...

Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that Pelosi is \"just playing games\" and repeated his threat to declare a national emergency and transfer billions of dollars in previously allocated funds to build the wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a barrage of morning tweets, Trump sent mixed messages in which he alternately hardened his wall demand and also suggested that repairing existing fencing is a big part of his plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Lets just call them WALLS from now on and stop playing political games!

"headTitle": "The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>The Trump administration on Tuesday quietly launched an effort to make asylum-seekers wait in Mexico while their cases wind through U.S. immigration courts, despite clear reservations and conflicting messages from the Mexican government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. returned one asylum-seeker to Mexico — a Honduran man named Carlos Gomez — on the first day of what would be one of the most dramatic changes to the U.S. immigration system of Donald Trump's presidency, if the policy survives an anticipated legal challenge. 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>[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.

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>",

"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. 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\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

When you include the renovation of existing fences and walls, we’ve renovated a tremendous amount and we’ve done a lot of work. In San Diego, we’re building new walls right now.
