Myth: The city of San Francisco will pay the Coalition on Homelessness $2.8 million to settle the homelessness lawsuit.

Fact: The city will pay $2.8 million in ATTORNEYS FEES as part of the settlement, a standard practice in civil suits.

[Scotty Jacobs 🌉 @Scotty_Jacobs]

The Coalition on Homelessness is another grifting organization amidst the constellation of orgs that feed off our city’s bloated budgets.

🚨 BREAKING: NIJC @DemocracyFWD @RAICESTEXAS & @lccrsf filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of @immigrantarc @amergateways & immigrants arrested at their court hearings. ICE's actions are an attack on due process & democracy. https://t.co/VZUA0YLkG1

BREAKING: We’ve joined a lawsuit against the Trump-Vance administration to stop ICE from arresting noncitizens at immigration courthouses.

[Democracy Forward @DemocracyFwd]

BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump-Vance administration to stop ICE's arrests of noncitizens at immigration courthouses.

This admin is stripping people of their due process rights in order to expedite deportations. It’s unlawful and unconstitutional.

Sacramento Police Department settles civil rights lawsuit over George Floyd protests, but plaintiffs remain unsatisfied with court's refusal to impose lasting changes. The case highlights ongoing issues of police misconduct and systemic reform.

Following a SCOTUS decision, the Trump admin must provide our client Y.H.G. under ICE detention adequate notice and a fair opportunity to challenge his wrongful designation as an “alien enemy” before a court of law.

Read about it in Bloomberg News: https://t.co/TogwVMqrnq

"Jordan Wells, one of the attorneys who filed the CA case, said it’s important to file the petitions wherever the government is detaining people who could be removed from the country under the act..." https://t.co/r0iv5d8Xoj

[Jackie Fielder @JackieFielder_]

I’ve asked Mayor Daniel Lurie and his admin multiple times to reconsider a policy that would evict several hundred children and their families from shelters after 90 days. To no avail.

Today I am introducing legislation to protect a child’s right to shelter…

"Since the city began increasing enforcement last summer, SF police officers have made 756 illegal lodging arrests, which is more than the prior 6 yrs combined. Last month, the city recorded 119 such arrests, the highest of any month in the last 7 yrs." https://t.co/Y6aI0zmLET

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

WOW. ICE essentially admits to having fraudulently obtained a criminal warrant against Columbia University for an "investigation" for "harboring" undocumented immigrants while seeking to arrest Yunseo Chung, who has a green card!

You can't "harbor" someone here legally!

[Tim Wu @superwuster]

Keker Van Nest have this exactly right - law firms need to stand together against unconstitutional orders, not get picked off one by one https://t.co/30mPuidGBL

New: A judge has issued a temporary restraining order stopping the Trump administration from detaining Yunseo Chung — a 21-year-old Columbia student & legal permanent resident who the Trump administration is trying to deport for participating in pro-Palestine protests.

[Human Rights First @humanrights1st]

The Trump administration has attempted to arrest and deport Yunseo Chung, a 21-year-old Columbia University student and legal permanent resident, for her involvement in pro-Palestinian protests. We are helping her sue. Read more: https://t.co/qTAuuxtQes

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

US permanent resident and Columbia University student Yunseo Chung has sued President Trump’s administration to halt her deportation, accusing authorities of using the same tactics employed against other college activists over their pro-Palestinian views https://t.co/BaUGBQKTJb

[Common Dreams @commondreams]

Columbia University junior Yunseo Chung sued U.S. President Donald Trump, challenging "the government's shocking overreach in seeking to deport a college student... who is a lawful permanent resident of this country, because of her protected speech." https://t.co/w3vGlZJ4w8

[박주현 @hermit_hwarang]

Korean student at Columbia is now the latest target of ICE, who have told her parents that her permanent residency status has been revoked.

Yunseo Chung was not an encampment leader—she just participated in a few protests. The dragnet is widening and now is the time to stand up.

[Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights SF @lccrsf]

Our senior staff attorney Jordan Wells spoke to ABC News about our lawsuit against the Trump admin to stop the unlawful deportation of Columbia student Yunseo Chung.

We stopped ICE in its tracks, but the fight is not over.

[ABC News Live @ABCNewsLive]

A Columbia student sued the U.S. this week to prevent her deportation and won — at least for now.

"It is absolutely preposterous to suggest that her speech on a college campus poses serious foreign policy consequences for the United States," the 21-year-old's attorney says.
