No one should have to endure what she describes, and her strength in speaking out reflects a profound commitment to something greater than herself. We owe her our immense respect, our support at this time, and a shared commitment to justice and accountability.

Let’s be clear: the idea that large numbers of undocumented individuals are voting is simply not true. What is real is the fear created when masked ICE agents show up near polling places.

California lawmakers consider bill to ban ICE agents from polling places California lawmakers consider a bill to ban ICE agents from polling places, citing concerns about potential voter suppression.

Clearly, the purpose of putting ICE in or around polling places is to intimidate voters. This is not new to me. We’ve seen tactics like this before, and it will not be tolerated in California. We will protect our voters and stop voter suppression.

As A.I. becomes more common in the legal system, we need clear guardrails to protect clients’ confidentiality and ensure that real people, not algorithms, are making legal decisions. SB 574 does exactly that by setting responsible rules for the use of A.I. by attorneys and arbitrators.
