ICE can continue to make arrests in courthouses statewide, at least for now.
Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed a bill late Thursday that would have prevented civil arrests of people attending proceedings in courthouses — like those carried out by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at the Fresno County Superior Court since mid-July.
The bill, initially labeled Senate Bill 183 and later SB 349, would have clarified “ the power of judicial officers to prevent activities that threaten access to courthouses.”
