The Alameda County Board of Supervisors has approved approximately $2.2 million to fund legal services aimed at protecting undocumented immigrants facing deportation under intensified federal enforcement.
This initiative builds upon a previous allocation of over $1 million in February, reflecting the county's commitment to supporting its immigrant community during heightened deportation efforts.
The funding will support the Alameda Public Defender's Office immigration unit, legal services for detained immigrants, and a rapid response hotline to report ICE activity.
The decision underscores the county's dedication to providing legal assistance and safeguarding the rights of undocumented immigrants amid increased federal immigration enforcement.
