Since early June, over two dozen individuals have been detained by immigration agents in San Francisco, primarily at local immigration courts and enforcement offices. This action aligns with the Trump administration's agenda for increased deportations. Milli Atkinson, director of the Immigrant Legal Defense Program, has noted the rise in arrests, emphasizing that these detentions complicate access to legal representation. Her programs aim to support immigrants during hearings, but the frequency of arrests has heightened the difficulties immigrants face in finding legal aid.
"It's daily that multiple people are detained." - Milli Atkinson, highlighting the increasing frequency of ICE arrests in San Francisco.
"When someone is unrepresented in immigration court, they're much less likely to win their case." - Milli Atkinson, discussing the challenges faced by immigrants in securing legal representation.
