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.",

"headTitle": "KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>Last week, Uber and Lyft drivers in California came as close as they've ever been to getting employee status. After eight years of struggling, basic protections like unemployment insurance and guaranteed minimum wage were just a few hours away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In early August, a state judge had issued an injunction demanding the companies recognize their drivers employees. In that order, San Francisco Superior Court Judge Ethan Schulman noted the companies “prolonged and brazen refusal to comply with California law,” adding that they “may not evade legislative mandates merely because their businesses are so large that they affect the lives of many thousands of people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Superior Court Judge Ethan Schulman\"]'(Uber and Lyft) may not evade legislative mandates merely because their businesses are so large that they affect the lives of many thousands of people.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It seemed like employee status would finally happen. But then, at the last moment, a state appeal court stepped in and stayed the injunction. Now drivers who want basic protections once again have to wait, perhaps until the election in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are two major lawsuits in progress. California Attorney General Xavier Becerra and a handful of city attorneys \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11816321/california-city-attorneys-sue-uber-and-lyft-over-worker-misclassification\">are suing Uber and Lyft\u003c/a> for failing to comply with AB5, a law that went into effect back in January. The state labor commissioner is suing for back pay for alleged worker misclassification. Meanwhile, Uber and Lyft are ramping up advertising for Proposition 22, a ballot initiative in November that would exempt them from state laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This fight isn’t new. Treating drivers as independent contractors has been legally suspect ever since Uber and Lyft began over eight years ago. Yet over and over again these companies, and those who copied their business model, have continually found ways to avoid giving workers employee status and protection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This evasion has been core to the business models of these companies. Until now, the companies have continued classifying workers as contractors, despite pressure from regulators, local and state governments and thousands of drivers. In that time, Uber and Lyft were able to use the contractor model to build multi-billion dollar companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>‘Tech Startups,’ Not Transportation Companies\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The saga begins in 2012 with a fuzzy pink mustache and a fist bump. Back then Lyft, Uber's smaller competitor, was advertising itself as 'your friend with a car.\" It was Lyft, not Uber, that first started paying drivers to use their own cars to do taxi work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber soon followed suit. Both companies emphasized that they weren’t transportation companies, but rather tech startups with “platforms” to connect riders to drivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber and Lyft also both chose to classify their workers as contractors, which significantly reduced both companies' liability and payroll expenses. That tactic became a major selling point for venture capitalists, who began investing billions in both companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two companies, though, faced a seemingly major hurdle. Many major cities had taxi regulations that mandated drivers had a medallions. Operating without them was illegal. Taxi drivers, many of whom had paid tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars for these medallions, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11694401/san-francisco-made-millions-selling-taxi-medallions-now-drivers-are-paying-the-price\">pointed out that Uber and Lyfts were not operating legally\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this was 2013, and the tech industry was enjoying a rosy reception by both the public and regulators. The companies were viewed as job creators, a designation that carried a lot of weight, especially as the nation was still emerging from the shadows of the 2008 financial recession. Most politicians didn’t want to stand in the way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pundits and journalists also helped fuel the positive portrayal, commonly painting the companies as innovative agents of change ushering in a future that was not only inevitable, but also desirable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/10851717/the-movement-to-kill-the-phrase-sharing-economy\">the “Sharing Economy” \u003c/a>as a concept was largely created and perpetuated by media organizations, which decided not to look at these companies through the lens of transportation or labor, but instead as \"tech\" companies. \u003ca href=\"https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3668606\">If you look back at the media coverage in the first years of these companies\u003c/a>, it was generally swooning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That largely uncritical coverage helped pave the way for a handful of companies representing a tiny fraction of the economy to have an outsize impact on law, corporate practices and the very way our society thinks about work.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Overcoming Regulatory Hurdles\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>As cities like San Francisco were opting to allow Uber and Lyft to operate in violation of local taxi laws, state regulators also embraced the companies, handing them a major win in the fall of 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Public Utilities Commission in 2013 decided to create an entire \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/PUC-adopts-rules-for-ride-services-4828477.php\">new regulatory category\u003c/a>, allowing Uber and Lyft to operate in cities throughout the state without being required to follow to local taxi laws. When announcing the creation of “Transportation Network Companies,” then CPUC President Michael Peevey parroted the rhetoric of the companies themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The internet is challenging many traditional business models by turning average everyday consumers into service providers,” Peevey said at the time. “This is a rapidly growing sharing economy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Contracting Problems\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>But the independent contractor model quickly began to create problems for the companies’ drivers. They had no workers' compensation for accidents and lacked unemployment insurance and overtime benefits — all basic protections guaranteed to employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"gig-economy\"]This brought lawsuits. In the fall of 2013, Shannon Liss-Riordan filed class action lawsuits against both companies that aimed to get drivers back pay and to end the alleged misclassification of drivers as contractors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber and Lyft were able to successfully snarl these lawsuits in the court system. It took six years to resolve both cases. The combined $47 million in settlements fell far short of the plaintiff's original goal, and drivers continued to be classified as contractors.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Mandatory Arbitration Clauses\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Uber and Lyft were able hamstring that lawsuit, and subsequent others, largely through mandatory arbitration clauses: controversial agreements that all Uber and Lyft drivers have to sign mandating that labor disputes be handled privately behind closed doors rather than in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Lawyers have been filing misclassification cases more or less since these companies came on the scene,” said Charlotte Garden, a professor at the Seattle University School of Law. \"By looking at how those cases have ended, it is really a testament to how effective individual arbitration is at preventing people from being able to enforce their rights.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber and Lyft also fended off regulation by appealing to consumers. They relied on their vast venture capital reserves to make rides artificially cheap — to the ire of traditional taxi drivers. And then, when a city or state enacted unfavorable regulations, the companies would threaten to leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes the companies would leave for a few months, but they always came back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Angry customers, meanwhile, put pressure on politicians who often caved and dropped regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garden said the victories Uber and Lyft enjoyed early on dissuaded other local regulators from trying to rein in the companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11833891\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11833891\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/GettyImages-1170572546.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/GettyImages-1170572546.jpg 1024w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/GettyImages-1170572546-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/GettyImages-1170572546-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/08/GettyImages-1170572546-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A San Francisco police officer monitors a protest outside of Uber headquarters on Aug. 27, 2019 in San Francisco, where dozens of Uber and Lyft drivers staged a protest in support of AB 5, and to organize a union for ride-hail drivers. \u003ccite>(ustin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“They knew regulation would be met with the companies ignoring the regulations and then fighting tooth and nail,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber and Lyft grew rapidly over the next five years and, by 2018, had amassed a combined $20 billion in venture capital. Meanwhile, a spate of new companies like Postmates and Instacart began adopting similar contract-labor models.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>The ‘ABC Test’\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In 2018, drivers seeking employee status scored a major victory — ironically, as a result of a California Supreme Court case that had nothing to do with gig companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This case began in 2005, three years before smartphones even existed, and close to a decade before the dawn of the gig economy. A truck driver sued a delivery company called Dynamex for classifying him as a contractor and not paying employee benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In April 2018 — 13 years after the case started — the court ruled in favor of the driver.

After eight years of struggling, basic protections like unemployment insurance and guaranteed minimum wage were just a few hours away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In early August, a state judge had issued an injunction demanding the companies recognize their drivers employees.

But then, at the last moment, a state appeal court stepped in and stayed the injunction. Now drivers who want basic protections once again have to wait, perhaps until the election in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are two major lawsuits in progress. California Attorney General Xavier Becerra and a handful of city attorneys \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11816321/california-city-attorneys-sue-uber-and-lyft-over-worker-misclassification\">are suing Uber and Lyft\u003c/a> for failing to comply with AB5, a law that went into effect back in January. The state labor commissioner is suing for back pay for alleged worker misclassification. Meanwhile, Uber and Lyft are ramping up advertising for Proposition 22, a ballot initiative in November that would exempt them from state laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This fight isn’t new. Treating drivers as independent contractors has been legally suspect ever since Uber and Lyft began over eight years ago. Yet over and over again these companies, and those who copied their business model, have continually found ways to avoid giving workers employee status and protection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This evasion has been core to the business models of these companies. Until now, the companies have continued classifying workers as contractors, despite pressure from regulators, local and state governments and thousands of drivers. In that time, Uber and Lyft were able to use the contractor model to build multi-billion dollar companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>‘Tech Startups,’ Not Transportation Companies\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The saga begins in 2012 with a fuzzy pink mustache and a fist bump. Back then Lyft, Uber's smaller competitor, was advertising itself as 'your friend with a car.\" It was Lyft, not Uber, that first started paying drivers to use their own cars to do taxi work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber soon followed suit. Both companies emphasized that they weren’t transportation companies, but rather tech startups with “platforms” to connect riders to drivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber and Lyft also both chose to classify their workers as contractors, which significantly reduced both companies' liability and payroll expenses. That tactic became a major selling point for venture capitalists, who began investing billions in both companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two companies, though, faced a seemingly major hurdle. Many major cities had taxi regulations that mandated drivers had a medallions. Operating without them was illegal. Taxi drivers, many of whom had paid tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars for these medallions, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11694401/san-francisco-made-millions-selling-taxi-medallions-now-drivers-are-paying-the-price\">pointed out that Uber and Lyfts were not operating legally\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this was 2013, and the tech industry was enjoying a rosy reception by both the public and regulators. The companies were viewed as job creators, a designation that carried a lot of weight, especially as the nation was still emerging from the shadows of the 2008 financial recession. Most politicians didn’t want to stand in the way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

When announcing the creation of “Transportation Network Companies,” then CPUC President Michael Peevey parroted the rhetoric of the companies themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The internet is challenging many traditional business models by turning average everyday consumers into service providers,” Peevey said at the time. “This is a rapidly growing sharing economy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Contracting Problems\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>But the independent contractor model quickly began to create problems for the companies’ drivers.

In the fall of 2013, Shannon Liss-Riordan filed class action lawsuits against both companies that aimed to get drivers back pay and to end the alleged misclassification of drivers as contractors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber and Lyft were able to successfully snarl these lawsuits in the court system. It took six years to resolve both cases. The combined $47 million in settlements fell far short of the plaintiff's original goal, and drivers continued to be classified as contractors.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Mandatory Arbitration Clauses\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Uber and Lyft were able hamstring that lawsuit, and subsequent others, largely through mandatory arbitration clauses: controversial agreements that all Uber and Lyft drivers have to sign mandating that labor disputes be handled privately behind closed doors rather than in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Lawyers have been filing misclassification cases more or less since these companies came on the scene,” said Charlotte Garden, a professor at the Seattle University School of Law. \"By looking at how those cases have ended, it is really a testament to how effective individual arbitration is at preventing people from being able to enforce their rights.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber and Lyft also fended off regulation by appealing to consumers. They relied on their vast venture capital reserves to make rides artificially cheap — to the ire of traditional taxi drivers.

Tom Umberg, D-Santa Ana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We in California need to make sure that we redouble our efforts to get the message out to all Californians, irrespective of whatever their immigration status is, that they have to be counted,” Umberg said, who co-chairs a Senate committee on the 2020 Census. “And it’s not just for their own benefit. It’s for all our benefit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said his office will be on the lookout for federal actions that would merit a court challenge, such as failing to seek census forms from immigrant households.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Becerra says the president’s memorandum, though inflammatory, isn’t reason enough for a legal challenge yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Simply because Donald Trump says things that are crazy or extreme doesn’t mean we can go to court,” Becerra said, who was part of a coalition of attorneys general that sued to block the Trump administration from including the citizenship question in the 2020 Census.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The moment they take action and that action would amount to a violation of the law, we now have standing … to sue the Trump administration,” Becerra said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

A growing number of residents and officials in Los Angeles County are demanding answers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state attorney general’s office and the FBI’s Civil Rights Division will oversee the investigation into Fuller’s death, which is being led by the Los Angeles County sheriff’s homicide bureau, Sheriff Alex Villanueva said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The coroner’s office has completed an autopsy but is awaiting toxicology results, Dr. Jonathan Lucas said. Investigators are also looking at Fuller’s medical history. Homicide detectives plan to analyze the rope and its knot, canvass the area for video footage, interview Fuller’s social services case worker and speak to anyone who had recently interacted with him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They are also seeking to meet with Fuller’s family, authorities said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fuller’s death came 10 days after another black man was found hanging from a tree about 50 miles away in Victorville.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, the state Senate began its session with a moment of silence for Fuller and Malcolm Harsch. The death of Harsch, the 38-year-old black man who was found on May 31, came to light after Fuller’s case. Harsch’s family told the \u003ca href=\"https://www.vvng.com/sheriffs-department-says-foul-play-not-suspected-after-black-man-found-hanging-in-tree-near-victorville-city-library/\">Victor Valley News\u003c/a> on Saturday that “the explanation of suicide does not seem plausible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Villanueva said his investigators will consult with San Bernardino detectives to see if there are any commonalities between the deaths of the two men.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Community’s Call for Justice Grows\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>On Saturday, hundreds gathered in the park where Fuller’s body was found demanding an investigation into his death.

Cuffari, Feinstein and Harris — along with Democratic Rep. Juan Vargas whose district includes Otay Mesa — requested an immediate investigation into the April 10 incident, which reportedly began when guards told detainees they would have to sign documents in English in order to receive masks to protect against COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People are fearful during this time, particularly those in U.S. custody who are especially vulnerable to infection but face limited access to information about how to protect themselves, limited ability to observe protective measures like social distancing and limited language access services,” the three lawmakers wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These allegations are all the more troubling in light of your office’s consistent findings during the course of over two years that ICE has failed to adequately protect the health and safety of individuals in its custody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Diego immigrant advocates told KQED that the Otay Mesa incident allegedly began after some female detainees cut up T-shirts to use as improvised masks and were then told by guards that they would have to sign liability release forms if they wanted real masks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The form was provided in English only, and when one person translated its meaning, the women refused to sign, according to attorney Ian Seruelo, who represents one of the women, a Mexican asylum-seeker who has been detained for more than six months. Seruelo said his client told him a commotion ensued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s when they called in the male, stronger guards and pepper sprayed them,” said Seruelo. “[My client] said she was able to cover her face. She was handcuffed and taken to isolation. She saw two others handcuffed as well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Audio of the incident was also captured in a phone call recorded on April 10 by a volunteer with Pueblos Sin Fronteras, an immigration rights group, who was speaking with a detainee as the situation escalated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the recording, which was posted on \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/PuebloSF/videos/647580456025723/\">Facebook\u003c/a>, one of the women in Spanish says, “Please help us get out! They’re spraying pepper spray into the cells.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly after, she says, “They’re taking people out of the cells in handcuffs,” and then begins to shriek.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CoreCivic, the private prison operator that runs Otay Mesa under contract with ICE, denied that staff used force, and said in a statement, “regarding the pepper spray claim, those allegations are patently false.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The temporary removal of three detainees from one of the pods was in direct response to their being disruptive during the issuance of the face masks,” wrote Amanda Gilchrist, CoreCivic’s public affairs director. “At no time was any force used to remove these individuals, and they were returned to the pod a short while later.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gilchrist added that no signed waiver will be required to receive a mask, and that all detainees have been issued face masks. In her statement, she also said that CoreCivic is working with ICE medical staff to screen employees, disinfect surfaces, encourage social distancing and hand-washing and quarantine sick detainees and people they’ve had contact with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the company’s quarantine approach has raised concerns for another immigrant advocate. Attorney Dulce Garcia, executive director of the group Border Angels, said she’s been trying to post a bond for an asylum-seeker who has been approved for release but said officials told her he had to stay in his quarantined unit for 14 days, even though he’s not sick and hasn’t been tested for COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No one can get out of the cohort,” said Garcia. “Today we received notice that they moved someone who tested positive and had a fever last week into the cohort. Every time they put a new person in, the clock starts again. How will they ever get out?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia said her client has family in the U.S. with a home where he would be able to isolate himself upon his release. For now, she said, he is stuck in a unit with about 100 men sleeping in eight-person bunk rooms, eating together and sharing bathrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s afraid he’s going to die there,” said Garcia. “He’s desperate. He doesn’t know how to distance himself and he’s afraid everyone is going to give it to him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CoreCivic confirmed that housing pods at Otay Mesa with positive cases are under quarantine, and said “high-medical-risk detainees” are being separated. Gilchrist, the company spokeswoman, referred KQED to ICE for further comment, but they agency did not respond by press time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE has reduced the number of people in custody nationally, from more than 38,000 three weeks ago to a total of just over 32,000 as of Saturday. There were 3,402 people in ICE’s four California detention facilities as of March 28, the most recent data available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Due to the unprecedented nature of COVID-19, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is reviewing cases of individuals in detention who may be vulnerable to the virus. Utilizing CDC guidance along with the advice of medical professionals, ICE may place individuals in a number of alternatives to detention options,” ICE said in a statement released by spokeswoman Paige Hughes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials said they’ve released almost 700 medically-vulnerable immigrants, including pregnant women and people over 60.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=related coverage\" tag=\"immigration\"]Many of these releases have been ordered by courts responding to a series of lawsuits filed in recent week by advocates around the country. Federal judges in California have ordered the release of at least 10 ICE detainees. Courts have made similar rulings in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts, and other cases are pending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some elected officials — including Harris and state Attorney General Xavier Becerra — are \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/system/files/attachments/press-docs/4.13.20%20-%20Letter%20to%20DHS%20Acting%20Secretary.pdf\">asking ICE\u003c/a> to go further and release detainees who pose no threat to public safety. And this week, Sen. Cory Booker, D-New Jersey, and Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Washington, \u003ca href=\"https://www.booker.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/MDM20356.pdf\">introduced a bill \u003c/a>to move most inmates out of ICE detention and suspend most immigration enforcement during the current pandemic and future public health emergencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People in ICE custody are not serving criminal sentences; they are being held in administrative detention while awaiting hearings in immigration court. The detained population has swelled under President Trump, reaching more than 52,000 last spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile lawyers for immigrants at Otay Mesa and other detention centers, including the large Mesa Verde ICE Processing Facility in Bakersfield, say their clients have launched hunger strikes to push for release or at least better protection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a recording made Saturday and obtained by KQED, Pablo Ramirez, a detained man at Mesa Verde, said he and others had started a hunger strike the day before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s virus in here. We have a feeling it might get in here,” said Ramirez. “They’re not treating us with the medical care that we need. They don’t test us for anything. They say they screen, but they don’t even take our temperatures.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Susan Beaty, a lawyer with Oakland’s Centro Legal de la Raza, who is in touch with detained immigrants at Mesa Verde, said detainees there gave up their hunger strike after guards threatened to deny them access to the commissary, where they buy soap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seruelo, the San Diego immigration attorney, said he knew about 20 men at Otay Mesa who had started a hunger strike in early April to protest conditions during the outbreak. But he said most discontinued it after being placed in solitary confinement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, he continues to push for the release of his client, the woman he said was pepper sprayed. The woman does not have any record of violence, he said, stressing that practically everyone released with an electronic ankle monitor shows up for court. He said his third request for her release, sent two weeks ago, has so far gone unanswered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“ICE should really move quickly. It’s a very dangerous strain of virus,” said Seruelo. “I don’t understand why they are taking so much risk when we are talking about human lives here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Cuffari, Feinstein and Harris — along with Democratic Rep. Juan Vargas whose district includes Otay Mesa — requested an immediate investigation into the April 10 incident, which reportedly began when guards told detainees they would have to sign documents in English in order to receive masks to protect against COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People are fearful during this time, particularly those in U.S. custody who are especially vulnerable to infection but face limited access to information about how to protect themselves, limited ability to observe protective measures like social distancing and limited language access services,” the three lawmakers wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These allegations are all the more troubling in light of your office’s consistent findings during the course of over two years that ICE has failed to adequately protect the health and safety of individuals in its custody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Diego immigrant advocates told KQED that the Otay Mesa incident allegedly began after some female detainees cut up T-shirts to use as improvised masks and were then told by guards that they would have to sign liability release forms if they wanted real masks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The form was provided in English only, and when one person translated its meaning, the women refused to sign, according to attorney Ian Seruelo, who represents one of the women, a Mexican asylum-seeker who has been detained for more than six months. Seruelo said his client told him a commotion ensued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s when they called in the male, stronger guards and pepper sprayed them,” said Seruelo. “[My client] said she was able to cover her face.

They’re spraying pepper spray into the cells.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly after, she says, “They’re taking people out of the cells in handcuffs,” and then begins to shriek.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CoreCivic, the private prison operator that runs Otay Mesa under contract with ICE, denied that staff used force, and said in a statement, “regarding the pepper spray claim, those allegations are patently false.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The temporary removal of three detainees from one of the pods was in direct response to their being disruptive during the issuance of the face masks,” wrote Amanda Gilchrist, CoreCivic’s public affairs director. “At no time was any force used to remove these individuals, and they were returned to the pod a short while later.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gilchrist added that no signed waiver will be required to receive a mask, and that all detainees have been issued face masks. In her statement, she also said that CoreCivic is working with ICE medical staff to screen employees, disinfect surfaces, encourage social distancing and hand-washing and quarantine sick detainees and people they’ve had contact with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the company’s quarantine approach has raised concerns for another immigrant advocate. Attorney Dulce Garcia, executive director of the group Border Angels, said she’s been trying to post a bond for an asylum-seeker who has been approved for release but said officials told her he had to stay in his quarantined unit for 14 days, even though he’s not sick and hasn’t been tested for COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No one can get out of the cohort,” said Garcia. “Today we received notice that they moved someone who tested positive and had a fever last week into the cohort. Every time they put a new person in, the clock starts again. How will they ever get out?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia said her client has family in the U.S. with a home where he would be able to isolate himself upon his release. For now, she said, he is stuck in a unit with about 100 men sleeping in eight-person bunk rooms, eating together and sharing bathrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s afraid he’s going to die there,” said Garcia. “He’s desperate. He doesn’t know how to distance himself and he’s afraid everyone is going to give it to him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CoreCivic confirmed that housing pods at Otay Mesa with positive cases are under quarantine, and said “high-medical-risk detainees” are being separated. Gilchrist, the company spokeswoman, referred KQED to ICE for further comment, but they agency did not respond by press time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE has reduced the number of people in custody nationally, from more than 38,000 three weeks ago to a total of just over 32,000 as of Saturday. There were 3,402 people in ICE’s four California detention facilities as of March 28, the most recent data available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Due to the unprecedented nature of COVID-19, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is reviewing cases of individuals in detention who may be vulnerable to the virus. Utilizing CDC guidance along with the advice of medical professionals, ICE may place individuals in a number of alternatives to detention options,” ICE said in a statement released by spokeswoman Paige Hughes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials said they’ve released almost 700 medically-vulnerable immigrants, including pregnant women and people over 60.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Federal judges in California have ordered the release of at least 10 ICE detainees. Courts have made similar rulings in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts, and other cases are pending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some elected officials — including Harris and state Attorney General Xavier Becerra — are \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/system/files/attachments/press-docs/4.13.20%20-%20Letter%20to%20DHS%20Acting%20Secretary.pdf\">asking ICE\u003c/a> to go further and release detainees who pose no threat to public safety. And this week, Sen. Cory Booker, D-New Jersey, and Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Washington, \u003ca href=\"https://www.booker.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/MDM20356.pdf\">introduced a bill \u003c/a>to move most inmates out of ICE detention and suspend most immigration enforcement during the current pandemic and future public health emergencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People in ICE custody are not serving criminal sentences; they are being held in administrative detention while awaiting hearings in immigration court. The detained population has swelled under President Trump, reaching more than 52,000 last spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile lawyers for immigrants at Otay Mesa and other detention centers, including the large Mesa Verde ICE Processing Facility in Bakersfield, say their clients have launched hunger strikes to push for release or at least better protection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a recording made Saturday and obtained by KQED, Pablo Ramirez, a detained man at Mesa Verde, said he and others had started a hunger strike the day before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s virus in here. We have a feeling it might get in here,” said Ramirez. “They’re not treating us with the medical care that we need. They don’t test us for anything. They say they screen, but they don’t even take our temperatures.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Susan Beaty, a lawyer with Oakland’s Centro Legal de la Raza, who is in touch with detained immigrants at Mesa Verde, said detainees there gave up their hunger strike after guards threatened to deny them access to the commissary, where they buy soap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seruelo, the San Diego immigration attorney, said he knew about 20 men at Otay Mesa who had started a hunger strike in early April to protest conditions during the outbreak. But he said most discontinued it after being placed in solitary confinement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, he continues to push for the release of his client, the woman he said was pepper sprayed. The woman does not have any record of violence, he said, stressing that practically everyone released with an electronic ankle monitor shows up for court. He said his third request for her release, sent two weeks ago, has so far gone unanswered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“ICE should really move quickly. It’s a very dangerous strain of virus,” said Seruelo. “I don’t understand why they are taking so much risk when we are talking about human lives here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
