Prize-winner, Mark Fiore, who the Wall Street Journal has called “the undisputed guru of the form,” creates animated political cartoons in San Francisco, where his work has been featured regularly on the San Francisco Chronicle’s web site, SFGate.com. 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.","avatar":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twitter":"MarkFiore","facebook":null,"instagram":"https://www.instagram.com/markfiore/?hl=en","linkedin":null,"sites":[{"site":"arts","roles":["contributor"]},{"site":"news","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"futureofyou","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"science","roles":["editor"]}],"headData":{"title":"Mark Fiore | KQED","description":"KQED News Cartoonist","ogImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g"},"isLoading":false,"link":"/author/markfiore"},"fjhabvala":{"type":"authors","id":"8659","meta":{"index":"authors_1591205172","id":"8659","found":true},"name":"Farida Jhabvala Romero","firstName":"Farida","lastName":"Jhabvala Romero","slug":"fjhabvala","email":"fjhabvala@kqed.org","display_author_email":true,"staff_mastheads":["news"],"title":"KQED Contributor","bio":"\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Farida Jhabvala Romero is a Labor Correspondent for KQED.

The Department of Homeland Security's Office of the Inspector General has repeatedly criticized the company for cutting corners on its investigations, conducting improper interviews, and producing \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/assets/2018-06/OIG-18-67-Jun18.pdf\">inaccurate reports\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one instance, the government watchdog said \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/assets/Mga/2018/oig-18-86-sep18.pdf\">ICE failed to take seriously the problem of braided bed sheets\u003c/a> hanging in detainee cells. It said similar braided sheets had been used as a noose in one suicide and in several other attempts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For many critics, Nakamoto's failures cited in the government reports help explain why unsanitary, harsh conditions at the detention centers persist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/07/02/738179391/dhs-inspector-general-finds-dangerous-overcrowding-in-border-patrol-facilities\">Public scrutiny of detention \u003c/a>facilities continues to increase. Meanwhile, the population of those detained at ICE's facilities last month reached an \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/detention-management\">all-time high of 54,000\u003c/a>. At the same time, there are persistent questions from the inspector general about whether ICE is properly overseeing the contractors that run a majority of the agency's facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/06/30/736940431/under-siege-and-largely-secret-businesses-that-serve-immigration-detention\">ICE relies heavily on private industry\u003c/a> in nearly every aspect of its operation. Outside contractors GEO Group and CoreCivic operate most of ICE's adult detention centers. For the last eight years, Nakamoto has been charged with conducting annual inspections of ICE detention centers, including those run by GEO and CoreCivic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's really not an exaggeration to say that there is basically no meaningful accountability or oversight for the companies who are involved,\" says Heidi Altman, director of policy at the National Immigrant Justice Center, an immigrant rights group. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DHS inspector general not only \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/assets/2018-06/OIG-18-67-Jun18.pdf\">criticized Nakamoto's work\u003c/a>, it also faulted ICE for not properly overseeing Nakamoto. \"ICE does not adequately hold detention facility contractors accountable for not meeting performance standards,\" the inspector general wrote in its \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/assets/2019-02/OIG-19-18-Jan19.pdf\">latest report in January\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The result, critics say, is that detainees are subject to everything from solitary confinement to negligent medical care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kidd, the 24-year-old former Adelanto detainee, says he filed grievances about his experiences.

He was supposed to be protected from deportation under DACA, or the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, but ICE agents arrested him outside his apartment because of a DUI charge that was later expunged from his record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kidd says the treatment at Adelanto was inhumane. One day, during an evacuation, he says a guard screamed obscenities, calling him and his fellow detainees names.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I mean, that's when I kind of lost it,\" Kidd says. \"I just said, 'You cannot call me that, you cannot treat us like animals, because we're not.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For this, Kidd says he was briefly taken to a solitary confinement room called \"Bravo.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In Bravo, there was nobody watching in there,\" Kidd says. \"You'd see people come out of there with bruises. I saw them come out of there with bruises.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kidd filed grievances under ICE procedures with GEO Group, which ran the facility.

For the last eight years, the company has held the contract to inspect conditions at more than 100 ICE facilities, including Adelanto.

That year, ICE's internal review found the facility already fell short in six areas, including how it addressed sexual assault, its handling of detainee grievances and its food service. (Earlier this year, NPR sued the City of Adelanto seeking access to documents regarding conditions at that facility.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE declined an interview. But its spokeswoman Danielle Bennett says the agency \u003cem>has \u003c/em>improved since the inspector general's reports. In an emailed statement, Bennett said senior ICE officials now accompany Nakamoto investigators during their reviews. ICE, she notes, has multiple layers of oversight, including local staff stationed in each facility. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='immigration-detention' label='Related Coverage']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bennett says the agency is also holding contractors accountable. Between December 2018 and March 2019, she says, financial penalties against the contractors totaled $500,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But one former senior ICE official told NPR the changes Bennett points out are minor. The bigger problem is ICE has no incentive to acknowledge problems.

Its Japanese American owner, Jennifer Nakamoto, frequently credits her family's experience in World War II internment camps with shaping her company's mission. The company's inspections contract with ICE started in 2011. According to USAspending, the federal government's contracting database, the potential value of Nakamoto's contract was $116 million last fiscal year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Claudia Valenzuela is an attorney with the American Immigration Council, an immigrant advocacy group. She's filed lawsuits seeking information about ICE and its contractors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think there should be more public scrutiny of Nakamoto,\" Valenzuela says. \"How did it obtain the contract? How does this company continue to hold that contract?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Nakamoto says it stands by its performance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an email, Nakamoto Vice President Mark Saunders said, \"we have made it abundantly clear that we are in no way political, and we have no agenda other than to do our work.\" He declined an interview, saying the company has already addressed negative allegations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last fall, Sen.

The Department of Homeland Security's Office of the Inspector General has repeatedly criticized the company for cutting corners on its investigations, conducting improper interviews, and producing \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/assets/2018-06/OIG-18-67-Jun18.pdf\">inaccurate reports\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one instance, the government watchdog said \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/assets/Mga/2018/oig-18-86-sep18.pdf\">ICE failed to take seriously the problem of braided bed sheets\u003c/a> hanging in detainee cells.

Meanwhile, the population of those detained at ICE's facilities last month reached an \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/detention-management\">all-time high of 54,000\u003c/a>. At the same time, there are persistent questions from the inspector general about whether ICE is properly overseeing the contractors that run a majority of the agency's facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/06/30/736940431/under-siege-and-largely-secret-businesses-that-serve-immigration-detention\">ICE relies heavily on private industry\u003c/a> in nearly every aspect of its operation.
