Immigration Clinic among Few Aiding Detainees, Mercury News Notes
A recent story in the San Jose Mercury News noted that the UC Davis School of Law Immigration Law Clinic is one of only two sources of free legal aid for immigration detainees in the San Francisco Bay Area. The article, "Amnesty International lambastes U.S. for treatment of immigrant detainees," reports on Amnesty International's scathing indictment of the federal government's treatment of immigration detainees, tens of thousands of whom languish in detention each year without charges or representation. The article notes that for Bay Area immigration detainees, only the Immigration Law Clinic and the Asian Law Caucus in San Francisco offer free legal aid.
