Chief Justice among critics of courthouse immigration arrests

August 29, 2018

The Los Angeles Times reports this morning about federal immigration agents making arrests in California state courthouses.  (“ICE arrests in courtrooms escalate feud between California and Trump administration over immigration policy.”)  The article includes this:  “California Supreme Court Chief Justice Tani G. Cantil-Sakauye, who has emerged as a leading critic of ICE’s courtroom presence, said in a statement Monday that the arrests were ‘disruptive, shortsighted, and counterproductive . . . .  It is damaging to community safety and disrespects the state court system.’”  (Link added.)
