County Funds Legal Aid for Detained Immigrants
Description
Santa Clara County is pouring nearly $200,000 into a bold new effort to defend immigrants detained by ICE in the Bay Area, partnering with La Raza Centro Legal to expand the Bay Area Habeas Network — a legal team using habeas petitions to force judges to justify detentions. With success rates so high that some officials are now considering limiting these rights, the network is critically under-resourced, especially as the San Francisco immigration court closes and detainees must travel farther for hearings. This funding is vital to handle the growing caseload, and the county hopes to rally other Bay Area counties to join the effort — all while resisting federal immigration enforcement and upholding due process in the face of new ICE facilities on the horizon.
