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"}},"breakingNewsReducer":{},"campaignFinanceReducer":{},"firebase":{"requesting":{},"requested":{},"timestamps":{},"data":{},"ordered":{},"auth":{"isLoaded":false,"isEmpty":true},"authError":null,"profile":{"isLoaded":false,"isEmpty":true},"listeners":{"byId":{},"allIds":[]},"isInitializing":false,"errors":[]},"navBarReducer":{"navBarId":"news","fullView":true,"showPlayer":false},"navMenuReducer":{"menus":[{"key":"menu1","items":[{"name":"News","link":"/","type":"title"},{"name":"Politics","link":"/politics"},{"name":"Science","link":"/science"},{"name":"Education","link":"/educationnews"},{"name":"Housing","link":"/housing"},{"name":"Immigration","link":"/immigration"},{"name":"Criminal Justice","link":"/criminaljustice"},{"name":"Silicon Valley","link":"/siliconvalley"},{"name":"Forum","link":"/forum"},{"name":"The California Report","link":"/californiareport"}]},{"key":"menu2","items":[{"name":"Arts & Culture","link":"/arts","type":"title"},{"name":"Critics’ Picks","link":"/thedolist"},{"name":"Cultural Commentary","link":"/artscommentary"},{"name":"Food & Drink","link":"/food"},{"name":"Bay Area Hip-Hop","link":"/bayareahiphop"},{"name":"Rebel Girls","link":"/rebelgirls"},{"name":"Arts Video","link":"/artsvideos"}]},{"key":"menu3","items":[{"name":"Podcasts","link":"/podcasts","type":"title"},{"name":"Bay Curious","link":"/podcasts/baycurious"},{"name":"Rightnowish","link":"/podcasts/rightnowish"},{"name":"The Bay","link":"/podcasts/thebay"},{"name":"On Our Watch","link":"/podcasts/onourwatch"},{"name":"Mindshift","link":"/podcasts/mindshift"},{"name":"Consider This","link":"/podcasts/considerthis"},{"name":"Political Breakdown","link":"/podcasts/politicalbreakdown"}]},{"key":"menu4","items":[{"name":"Live Radio","link":"/radio","type":"title"},{"name":"TV","link":"/tv","type":"title"},{"name":"Events","link":"/events","type":"title"},{"name":"For Educators","link":"/education","type":"title"},{"name":"Support KQED","link":"/support","type":"title"},{"name":"About","link":"/about","type":"title"},{"name":"Help Center","link":"https://kqed-helpcenter.kqed.org/s","type":"title"}]}]},"pagesReducer":{},"postsReducer":{"stream_live":{"type":"live","id":"stream_live","audioUrl":"https://streams.kqed.org/kqedradio","title":"Live Stream","excerpt":"Live Stream information currently unavailable.","link":"/radio","featImg":"","label":{"name":"KQED Live","link":"/"}},"stream_kqedNewscast":{"type":"posts","id":"stream_kqedNewscast","audioUrl":"https://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/RDnews/newscast.mp3?_=1","title":"KQED Newscast","featImg":"","label":{"name":"88.5 FM","link":"/"}},"news_11903829":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11903829","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11903829","score":null,"sort":[1643896826000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"immigration-court-bill-would-give-judges-independence-tackle-1-6m-case-backlog","title":"Immigration Court Bill Would Give Judges Independence, Tackle 1.6 Million Case Backlog","publishDate":1643896826,"format":"audio","headTitle":"Immigration Court Bill Would Give Judges Independence, Tackle 1.6 Million Case Backlog | KQED","labelTerm":{"term":72,"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>San Jose Rep.

And supervision in the U.S.C.I.S. asylum division leads to greater consistency in asylum decisions compared to immigration courts, where the \u003ca href=\"https://trac.syr.edu/immigration/reports/judge2020/denialrates.html\">approval rates\u003c/a> of individual judges can vary from 0.9% of all cases to 96.7%, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Stories\" tag=\"asylum-seeker\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed rule would only affect future cases, not those currently in immigration court.

It's just night and day.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diego Aranda-Teixeira is a supervising attorney with Al Otro Lado, a cross-border legal services agency with offices in San Diego, Los Angeles and Tijuana. He says another important aspect of the Biden plan is that it would also allow the government to release some asylum seekers who’d otherwise be locked up while their cases proceed. The rule doesn’t require releasing detainees, but it gives officials leeway to decide that \"detention is unavailable or impracticable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People are actively harmed by detention,\" said Aranda-Teixeira. \"It's bad for their mental health and really bad for their immigration case, because if you're new to the country and you're detained, who are you going to call?

She said she often finds problems with those screenings, and that makes her skeptical about expanding the role of asylum officers further.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We've seen on the ground, those of us that work at the border, when you give so much power to someone in an arbitrary system, things usually go wrong and they don't favor migrants,\" she said. \"If we're going to rework the system, I think there are better ways to do so.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Dulce Garcia, Director of Border Angels\"]'If we're going to rework the system, I think there are better ways to do so.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia said she would rather see a broader overhaul to make the immigration courts independent of the Department of Justice and to build in greater due process protections. That’s a plan that has been endorsed by the American Bar Association and others, but would require Congress to act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Human Rights First, a U.S.-based international human rights nonprofit, has also raised concerns. The group said it welcomed the proposal to allow asylum seekers to present their claims in the \"less traumatizing, non-adversarial setting\" of the U.S.C.I.S. asylum office. However, it criticized the government’s plan to continue to subject unauthorized migrants at the border to a fast-track deportation process known as \"expedited removal,\" unless they pass their initial asylum screening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The proposed rule could be used and abused to rush asylum seekers through adjudications without sufficient time to secure legal representation, gather evidence or prepare their cases, leading U.S. agencies to return to persecution people who actually do qualify for asylum,\" said Eleanor Acer, the group’s senior director for refugee protection, in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.humanrightsfirst.org/press-release/human-rights-first-expresses-concern-some-proposed-asylum-changes\">statement\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Immigration Stories\" tag=\"immigration\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A provision that allows people to request an administrative review — but not a full appeal in immigration court — if their claim is denied by U.S.C.I.S. also raised a red flag.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The proposal’s restriction on access to immigration court hearings ... could limit their ability to present crucial evidence,\" Acer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Criticism also came from groups that favor further restrictions on immigration. The Center for Immigration Studies in Washington, D.C., \u003ca href=\"https://cis.org/Arthur/DHSDOJ-Propose-Changes-Asylum-Process-Border\">argued\u003c/a> that the proposed rule would give asylum seekers too much of a right to appeal and found fault with the rule for expanding discretion to release asylum seekers from detention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Members of the public have until Oct. 19 to \u003ca href=\"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/08/20/2021-17779/procedures-for-credible-fear-screening-and-consideration-of-asylum-withholding-of-removal-and-cat\">submit comments\u003c/a> on the proposed rule.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>New funding for asylum officers needed\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If the new plan goes into effect, the job of the nation’s nearly 800 asylum officers would expand by perhaps 150,000 claims per year, according to U.S.C.I.S. The agency currently has 350,000 pending cases, and the only way to actually speed up asylum adjudications under the new system would be to hire more staff.

Transferring those to asylum officers could make a big difference in reducing the court backlog, says Meissner, who has been advocating for such a change. And, she says, there are other advantages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's an interview process rather than a courtroom process... and it is more suitable for asylum seekers to be able to lay out their case and the reasons,\" she said. \"And asylum officers do only asylum cases, so that's their full training.

Immigration courts are part of an administrative law system, more like the one that handles appeals of Social Security decisions, for example. The federal rules of evidence don’t apply in immigration court. And though immigrants have the right to be represented by a lawyer, they don’t have the right to counsel at government expense if they can’t afford their own lawyer, the way a criminal defendant does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Dana Leigh Marks, National Association of Immigration Judges\"]'It's an uncomfortable and inappropriate placement for a neutral court system.

As of last December, \u003ca href=\"https://trac.syr.edu/immigration/reports/637/\">more than 98%\u003c/a> of the cases in immigration court were for people whose only charge was an immigration violation, according to an analysis by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also in the past several years, a much larger share of the migrants arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border are people requesting asylum, rather than trying to evade border authorities to come work or join family in the U.S. And if migrants can establish a \"credible fear\" of persecution in a screening interview with an asylum officer, they can’t be quickly removed from the country. Instead, \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/eoir/page/file/1106366/download\">their cases\u003c/a> go straight into the immigration court system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"label":"Related Stories ","tag":"immigration-courts"},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that court system is chronically underfunded, with not enough judges or support staff, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.americanbar.org/content/dam/aba/publications/commission_on_immigration/2019_reforming_the_immigration_system_volume_2.pdf\">2019 report\u003c/a> by the American Bar Association. While the Trump administration hired more judges and imposed a case completion quota on judges meant to speed up their work, neither made a dent in the backlog. Meanwhile the ABA report found that hiring practices became politicized and the administration’s policies threatened due process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On top of all of that came the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to months of closed courts, suspended hearings and delayed processing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While many state and federal courts moved quickly to conduct hearings over video conference calls, the Executive Office of Immigration Review, as the immigration court system is known, was behind the curve, according to longtime San Francisco immigration judge, Dana Leigh Marks, who is the executive vice president of the National Association of Immigration Judges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What the pandemic and quarantine restrictions revealed is just how abysmally prepared EOIR has been from the technology aspect,\" said Marks, speaking in her role with the NAIJ, the judge’s union. \"And we do not have universal electronic filing... so there's roughly a million cases or more that are still paper-based.

Immigration courts are part of an administrative law system, more like the one that handles appeals of Social Security decisions, for example. The federal rules of evidence don’t apply in immigration court.
