California chief justice steps up monitoring of immigration arrests at courthouses
California courts will formalize tracking of federal immigration arrests to address fears that hinder court access, with data collection proposed for consistent statewide reporting.
- On Thursday, California Supreme Court Chief Justice Patricia Guerrero announced increased monitoring of immigration arrests by the Trump administration in 17 courthouses, most at the Superior Court of Shasta County.
- Previously, immigration agencies avoided courthouse arrests under the Biden administration, but that practice changed when President Trump allowed agents to arrest people in and around courthouses, Guerrero said these actions produce `chilling effects` that hinder court access.
- The Judicial Council may formalize data collection on April 24, requiring courts to submit civil arrest data as Guerrero's office shares monitoring with the attorney general's office.
- This month, California Democratic senators introduced efforts to bolster courthouse protections, with Sen. Susan Rubio allowing remote appearances until January 2029 and Sen. Eloise Gómez Reyes targeting `unannounced and indiscriminate` federal arrests.
- As a result, state courts are exploring ways to assert authority through remote hearings, educating judges, and connecting the public with remedies to address access-to-justice risks.
