About this episode
The episode discusses a proposal for California courts to collect data on civil arrests amid rising ICE activity and other related issues.
The policy-making body that oversees California's court system plans to vote on a proposal this Friday that would require courts to collect data on civil arrests inside the state's courthouses. It comes amid a rise in arrests by federal immigration agents of undocumented people inside and near courthouse across the state and throughout the U.S. California counties will be able to continue dedicating the bulk of their federal homelessness funds towards permanent housing. That’s because a move by the Trump administration to shift funding priorities towards temporary and sober housing is now on hold following a legal victory this week.
