• No sign ICE is improving conditions at S.F. immigrant holding cells, attorneys say (missionlocal.org) — Immigrants held at ICE’s 630 Sansome Street facility in San Francisco may still be going without beds, blankets, medical care, and other basics nearly a month after a federal judge ordered improvements, according to civil rights attorneys. Lawyers say ICE has blocked access to detainees, shifted holding areas inside the building, and possibly moved people to Stockton, prompting the judge to warn that changing locations doesn’t excuse noncompliance.
