A federal judge has \u003ca title=\"Court Orders Preliminary Injunction \" href=\"http://ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show_public_doc?2015cv0011-33\" target=\"_blank\">temporarily blocked\u003c/a> the policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The government has until April 1 to appeal. Otherwise the case proceeds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a written statement, ICE officials said they are “complying with the court’s order, which precludes ICE from considering deterrence of future migration as a factor in making custody determinations with respect to adults with children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigration advocates are also trying to end family detention by invoking a decades-old settlement (\u003ca title=\"Flores v. Reno\" href=\"http://www.clearinghouse.net/detail.php?id=9493\">Flores v. Reno\u003c/a>).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly 20 years ago, federal immigration authorities agreed to minimize the detention of under-age migrants and move them to the least restrictive environment as soon as possible, such as the home of a relative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carlos Holguin with the \u003ca href=\"http://www.centerforhumanrights.org/\">Center For Human Rights and Constitutional Law \u003c/a>says ICE family detention centers are the opposite of that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Anyone who’s been to the Karnes facility in particular will note that it is like an institution,” Holguin says. “It is like a jail. There’s a sally port one goes through after going through metal detection -- high block walls.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Holguin says children aren’t supposed to be locked up in places like Karnes -- even with their mothers. He has filed a motion to force ICE to release them. A hearing on the matter was scheduled for next month [4/17/15] in the U.S. Central District Court in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Government attorneys, meanwhile, will argue for broader powers to detain children. They say they need that to cope with the influx of Central Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE recently expanded its capacity for families. Three centers can now hold 3,400 people at a time, up from fewer than 100 beds last spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Agency officials would only provide a written statement on family detention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In it, they asserted that housing children with their parents is “an effective and humane alternative for maintaining family unity as families go through immigration proceedings or await return to their home countries.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Joanne Kelsey, with the \u003ca href=\"http://blog.lirs.org/lirs-staff-member-shares-her-heartbreaking-trip-to-dilley-family-detention-center/\">Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service\u003c/a>, says there’s no humane way to confine children, because it can break the family structure and cause lasting psychological damage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When a child sees their mother isn’t making decisions for them, that a guard is saying, ‘This is when you can eat, this is what you can eat, there is where you can go, this is what you can do,’ the child loses that feeling of protection.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the end of January, ICE reported 1,000 mothers and kids were still in detention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without an attorney, they have little hope for release or asylum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In more than 7,000 family immigration cases recently studied by the \u003ca href=\"http://trac.syr.edu/immigration/\">Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse\u003c/a> at Syracuse University, 99 percent of those who lacked a lawyer were ordered deported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10466188\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/family-immigration-court-011.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10466188 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/family-immigration-court-011-800x1120.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1120\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/family-immigration-court-011-800x1120.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/family-immigration-court-011-400x560.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/family-immigration-court-011-1440x2016.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/family-immigration-court-011-1180x1652.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/family-immigration-court-011-768x1075.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/family-immigration-court-011-320x448.jpg 320w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/family-immigration-court-011.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, Syracuse University using records obtained from the Executive Office of Immigration Review, Department of Justice. \u003ccite>(Lisa Pickoff-White/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But finding attorneys to take detainees’ cases is a challenge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These women are not only detained -- but they’re detained in a place that’s isolated and not easily accessible …,” says Lauren Connell, an attorney with Akin Gump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Connell coordinated volunteer attorneys to help the families at Karnes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first time she made the one-hour drive down from San Antonio to Karnes, Connell remembers thinking, “Wow, this is far from where people are and can really help.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Connell became Stephanie’s attorney and helped convince an immigration judge to free her while her asylum case is being decided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stephanie says that when she heard she would be released, “The first thing I did was drop to my knees and thank God for everything he had done for me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stephanie’s now cleaning houses for work and her husband was able to get a job working special events.

It’s called bait-and-switch.'\u003ccite>Antonin Scalia,\u003cbr>U.S. Supreme Court Justice\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The case centers on a 2008 officer-involved shooting in San Francisco. Two officers responded to a call from a supportive housing complex in the city's Mission District and attempted to take Teresa Sheehan into custody for a psychiatric evaluation, but Sheehan threatened them with a knife and slammed her apartment door on them. The officers forced the door open, pepper sprayed Sheehan, and when she moved toward them, shot her five times. She survived and sued the city in federal court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scalia took issue with the City's nuanced view of the ADA's application to an arrest that involves the potential for violence. He said San Francisco's petition argued the ADA does not apply, period. The argument softened by this morning, with the city conceding the law does generally require public entities, like police, to make reasonable accommodations even when a suspect is potentially violent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/197375563\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But \"modification to Sheehan’s arrest would not have eliminated the significant risk she posed,\" the city's brief says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There’s a technical word for this,\" Scalia said. \"It’s called bait-and-switch.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Van Aken responded: \"San Francisco asked you to resolve the question of whether and how the ADA applies to the arrest of an armed and violent individual, and the answer to that question is it only applies where the significant threat that the individual poses has been eliminated.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The eight-judge panel wrestled with questions raised by that point for most the remainder of the hearing: How did Sheehan present a significant threat when she was locked, alone, in her second floor apartment, and how could such a threat be eliminated?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco has argued that despite being told by Sheehan's social worker that the building was empty, save Sheehan, and that there was no way to escape from the second-story window without a ladder, officers couldn't be sure that Sheehan posed no threat to any other person while she was locked in her room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justice Sonia Sotomayor asked Van Aken to assume Sheehan was alone and there was no means of escape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"GdUicVJLoTShZkLfvrcygiwx2XJGdF9V\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We still think there would be a question about whether she had other weapons in the room and could be preparing some kind of ambush or some kind of barricade, and that’s something that the officers here testified they were concerned about,\" Van Aken said. \"So what they thought was necessary was to get that door open so that they could see what Ms. Sheehan was doing, so they could see if she was preparing an ambush or barricade.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sheehan's lead attorney, Leonard Feldman, told the court all parties appeared to agree on legal issues in the case, and the question before the court was one of fact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Exactly,\" Scalia said. \"I don’t know why we took the case.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feldman said San Francisco is arguing against a legal standard that is, basically, San Francisco policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In our case, we have symmetry between the proposed accommodation, on the one hand, and the way that San Francisco trains its officers and also universally accepted methods for dealing with mentally disabled individuals,\" he said. \"There’s no dispute that the way to interact with mentally disabled individuals is through communication and time. Police officers know that, and they’re trained in that way.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feldman said \"reasonable accommodations\" could include programs like a Crisis Intervention Team, which San Francisco has adopted. It's just one of many specialized police responses that emphasizes de-escaltion -- sometimes called verbal judo -- instead of direct confrontation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think the Court knows that this is a case with enormous policy implications,\" Feldman said. \"We see this in the news day after day, week after week, where the police arrive to help somebody and they wind up hurting them,\" Feldman said. \"And, Your Honors, it’s only when officers and public entities are held accountable for actions like those that occurred here that we can expect to see a change in that pattern.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Supreme Court is expected to issue a ruling in the case sometime in early Summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original Post Sunday, March 22\u003c/strong>:\u003cbr>\nThe U.S. Supreme Court will hear a case Monday that's being closely watched by law enforcement and advocates for the mentally ill -- on an appeal brought by San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Supreme Court is weighing two issues: Whether the Americans With Disabilities Act requires police to provide accommodations to an \"armed, violent, and mentally ill suspect in the course of\u003cbr>\nbringing the suspect into custody,\" and whether two San Francisco police officers violated the Fourth Amendment rights of Teresa Sheehan when they forced their way into her apartment after discovering she was armed with a bread knife.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a big issue: Should the mentally ill be handled by the police differently?\" UC Hastings law professor Rory Little said. \"Increasingly, police are confronting people with mental illness on the streets or in their homes or apartments, and there is a growing concern that the confrontational approach of the police unnecessarily stimulates violence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFPD policy around the type of incidents at issue in this case changed after the shooting, but if the city is successful at the Supreme Court, that kind of change may be stifled in other cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case -- \u003ca href=\"http://www.americanbar.org/publications/preview_home/13-1412.html?cq_ck=1421878054315\" target=\"_blank\">City and County of San Francisco v. Teresa Sheehan\u003c/a> -- stems from a 2008 officer-involved shooting at a co-op apartment building for people with mental illness in the city's Mission District. Officers responded to a call from a social worker in the building, who told them Sheehan, who is diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, had threatened him when he tried to check on her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The social worker told responding SFPD Officer Kathrine Holder about Sheehan's medical history, and Holder called Sgt. Kimberly Reynolds to the scene.

With her back literally against the wall, Holder fired twice at Sheehan. Sheehan was three feet from Holder – so close that Holder had to fire from the hip so Sheehan would not slash her arm. After Holder shot Sheehan twice, Sheehan did not drop her knife or fall to the floor. Instead, she turned\u003cbr>\nand stepped toward Reynolds with her knife. Reynolds fired three times at Sheehan. Sheehan stabbed toward Holder’s leg as she went down to the ground, and Reynolds’ last shot struck Sheehan when she was on the ground.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Here's a description of the shooting from \u003ca href=\"http://www.americanbar.org/content/dam/aba/publications/supreme_court_preview/BriefsV5/13-1412_resp.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Sheehan's brief\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>As soon as the officers forced the door open, Sheehan stepped forward holding her bread knife and told the officers “to go away. Leave me alone.” Reynolds responded by shooting pepper spray into Sheehan’s face. Sheehan screamed that the officers were blinding her and she could not see. Reynolds and Holder then shot Sheehan four times. With wounds in her torso and right arm, Sheehan fell to the ground but the officers’ attack continued. According to Holder’s statement on the day of the shooting and Sheehan’s forensic science expert, Reynolds shot Sheehan in the face after she was lying on the ground.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Sheehan survived. She was initially charged with assault but was acquitted, and then she sued the city in federal court. District Court Judge Charles Breyer, the brother of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, ruled in a summary judgment in favor of San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the \u003ca href=\"http://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2014/02/21/11-16401.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled\u003c/a> a jury could find Sheehan was legally entitled to accommodations under the ADA -- specifically that officers should have stepped back, contained the scene and waited for backup, including officers specially trained to respond to psychiatric crises. The appellate court also found that officers may have violated the Fourth Amendment's prohibition of unreasonable search and seizure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"[A] jury could find that the officers acted unreasonably by forcing the second entry and provoking a near-fatal confrontation,\" the 9th Circuit opinion says. \"We therefore cannot say that the second entry was reasonable as a matter of law.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two national law enforcement organizations joined a \u003ca href=\"http://www.americanbar.org/content/dam/aba/publications/supreme_court_preview/BriefsV4/13-1412_amicus_pet_imla.authcheckdam.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">brief supporting San Francisco's appeal\u003c/a>. The brief argues that the ADA should inform policing policy at the department level, but should not apply to \"on-the-street decisionmaking when a law enforcement officer faces an active public safety threat by an armed, violent individual.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 20 advocacy organizations for people with mental illness joined briefs supporting Sheehan's position, authored by the \u003ca href=\"http://www.americanbar.org/content/dam/aba/publications/supreme_court_preview/BriefsV5/13-1412_amicus_resp_apa.authcheckdam.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">American Psychiatric Association\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"http://www.americanbar.org/content/dam/aba/publications/supreme_court_preview/BriefsV5/13-1412_amicus_resp_aclu.authcheckdam.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">American Civil Liberties Union\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ACLU cites a September \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/09/30/half-of-those-killed-by-san-francisco-police-are-mentally-ill\" target=\"_blank\">KQED report\u003c/a> that found 58 percent of people killed by San Francisco police between 2005 and 2013 had a mental illness that was a contributing factor in the incident. The brief argues the ADA should apply to Sheehan's arrest because the law's \"reasonable accommodation\" requirement mandates a specialized police response, such as a Crisis Intervention Team, in situations where a subject is known to have a mental illness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These practices were specifically designed for potentially dangerous situations,\" the brief says. \"San Francisco’s position — that the police should be free to forego these strategies in precisely the situation for which they were meant — makes no sense at all.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr issued a \u003ca href=\"https://www.scribd.com/doc/259504904/SFPD-Bulletin-Response-to-Mental-Health-Calls-With-Armed-Suspects\" target=\"_blank\">department bulletin in 2013\u003c/a> clarifying SFPD protocol when mentally ill subjects may be a threat to themselves, but no one else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10401680\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/01/Teresa_Sheehan_photo-cropped.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-10401680\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/01/Teresa_Sheehan_photo-cropped-400x279.jpg\" alt=\"Teresa Sheehan\" width=\"400\" height=\"279\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/01/Teresa_Sheehan_photo-cropped-400x279.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/01/Teresa_Sheehan_photo-cropped.jpg 464w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Teresa Sheehan at Christmas dinner in 2014. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Francis Sheehan)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>It says: \"[I]f officers have reasonable cause to believe that the person suffering an apparent mental crisis is not a threat to \u003cem>any other\u003c/em> person, the officers shall observe, maintain a safe distance, and attempt to stabilize the scene until the arrival of the supervisor who will assume command.\" (Emphasis original.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another SFPD \u003ca href=\"https://www.scribd.com/doc/259505756/SFPD-Bulletin-Response-by-Crisis-Intervention-Trained-Officers\" target=\"_blank\">bulletin, issued in May 2014\u003c/a>, describes department policy for deploying specially trained officers to calls involving mental health crises.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deputy City Attorney Peter Keith told \u003ca href=\"ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/01/09/disability-advocates-appeal-over-s-f-police-shooting-puts-ada-at-risk\" target=\"_blank\">KQED in January\u003c/a> that San Francisco believes the ADA should apply to arrests, but there is disagreement about what constitutes a \"reasonable accommodation\" during a potentially violent confrontation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco is arguing that officers couldn't be sure Sheehan was alone, despite being told so by the social worker who called them, and she could have escaped from her second-story window and posed a threat to other people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What the city doesn't want is a ruling that says the Americans With Disabilities Act, a federal statute, applies in these situations,\" Little said. \"In other words, if they want to adopt this as a progressive policing policy, that's fine.

Two officers responded to a call from a supportive housing complex in the city's Mission District and attempted to take Teresa Sheehan into custody for a psychiatric evaluation, but Sheehan threatened them with a knife and slammed her apartment door on them. The officers forced the door open, pepper sprayed Sheehan, and when she moved toward them, shot her five times. She survived and sued the city in federal court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scalia took issue with the City's nuanced view of the ADA's application to an arrest that involves the potential for violence. He said San Francisco's petition argued the ADA does not apply, period. The argument softened by this morning, with the city conceding the law does generally require public entities, like police, to make reasonable accommodations even when a suspect is potentially violent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='100%' height='166'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/197375563&visual=true&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false'\n title='https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/197375563'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But \"modification to Sheehan’s arrest would not have eliminated the significant risk she posed,\" the city's brief says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Police officers know that, and they’re trained in that way.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feldman said \"reasonable accommodations\" could include programs like a Crisis Intervention Team, which San Francisco has adopted. It's just one of many specialized police responses that emphasizes de-escaltion -- sometimes called verbal judo -- instead of direct confrontation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think the Court knows that this is a case with enormous policy implications,\" Feldman said. \"We see this in the news day after day, week after week, where the police arrive to help somebody and they wind up hurting them,\" Feldman said. \"And, Your Honors, it’s only when officers and public entities are held accountable for actions like those that occurred here that we can expect to see a change in that pattern.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Supreme Court is expected to issue a ruling in the case sometime in early Summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original Post Sunday, March 22\u003c/strong>:\u003cbr>\nThe U.S. Supreme Court will hear a case Monday that's being closely watched by law enforcement and advocates for the mentally ill -- on an appeal brought by San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Supreme Court is weighing two issues: Whether the Americans With Disabilities Act requires police to provide accommodations to an \"armed, violent, and mentally ill suspect in the course of\u003cbr>\nbringing the suspect into custody,\" and whether two San Francisco police officers violated the Fourth Amendment rights of Teresa Sheehan when they forced their way into her apartment after discovering she was armed with a bread knife.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a big issue: Should the mentally ill be handled by the police differently?\" UC Hastings law professor Rory Little said. \"Increasingly, police are confronting people with mental illness on the streets or in their homes or apartments, and there is a growing concern that the confrontational approach of the police unnecessarily stimulates violence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFPD policy around the type of incidents at issue in this case changed after the shooting, but if the city is successful at the Supreme Court, that kind of change may be stifled in other cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case -- \u003ca href=\"http://www.americanbar.org/publications/preview_home/13-1412.html?cq_ck=1421878054315\" target=\"_blank\">City and County of San Francisco v.

With her back literally against the wall, Holder fired twice at Sheehan. Sheehan was three feet from Holder – so close that Holder had to fire from the hip so Sheehan would not slash her arm. After Holder shot Sheehan twice, Sheehan did not drop her knife or fall to the floor. Instead, she turned\u003cbr>\nand stepped toward Reynolds with her knife. Reynolds fired three times at Sheehan. Sheehan stabbed toward Holder’s leg as she went down to the ground, and Reynolds’ last shot struck Sheehan when she was on the ground.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Here's a description of the shooting from \u003ca href=\"http://www.americanbar.org/content/dam/aba/publications/supreme_court_preview/BriefsV5/13-1412_resp.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Sheehan's brief\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>As soon as the officers forced the door open, Sheehan stepped forward holding her bread knife and told the officers “to go away. Leave me alone.” Reynolds responded by shooting pepper spray into Sheehan’s face. Sheehan screamed that the officers were blinding her and she could not see. Reynolds and Holder then shot Sheehan four times. With wounds in her torso and right arm, Sheehan fell to the ground but the officers’ attack continued. According to Holder’s statement on the day of the shooting and Sheehan’s forensic science expert, Reynolds shot Sheehan in the face after she was lying on the ground.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Sheehan survived. She was initially charged with assault but was acquitted, and then she sued the city in federal court.

The appellate court also found that officers may have violated the Fourth Amendment's prohibition of unreasonable search and seizure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"[A] jury could find that the officers acted unreasonably by forcing the second entry and provoking a near-fatal confrontation,\" the 9th Circuit opinion says. \"We therefore cannot say that the second entry was reasonable as a matter of law.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two national law enforcement organizations joined a \u003ca href=\"http://www.americanbar.org/content/dam/aba/publications/supreme_court_preview/BriefsV4/13-1412_amicus_pet_imla.authcheckdam.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">brief supporting San Francisco's appeal\u003c/a>.

Lawmakers harshly questioned court officials at a recent hearing on the report, which came about after judges complained that the court was too top-heavy and its operations too opaque.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cantil-Sakauye told the Legislature Monday that the judiciary \"has been changed forever by a significant event\" -- the Great Recession -- and \"our response\" to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was also quick to note, however, that the judicial branch \"takes up only 1.4 percent of the state general fund,\" adding that cuts \"have had a particularly significant impact on those seeking justice in our courts.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cantil-Sakauye said the courts have responded with creativity and made changes, noting that she created a committee made up of judicial staff to evaluate the court's headquarters. The committee's findings resulted in a 30 percent reduction in staff at headquarters and prompted the opening of Judicial Council meetings to the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The entire court system also has been embracing innovation, she said, pointing in particular toward 383 collaborative justice courts throughout California that aim to reduce recidivism and improve offender outcomes by combining supervision with rehabilitation services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But the cuts to the judiciary in recent years -- more than $1 billion over a five-year period -- means we must accelerate our search for innovations and efficiencies,\" she said. \"The California Judges Association is backing a number of thoughtful legislative proposals that should be studied.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To that end, Cantil-Sakauye said she created a commission that will \"take a fresh look at our legal infrastructure and will recommend ways to deliver justice and court services more efficiently without compromising fairness or due process.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She ended with a word of warning, saying she is also working on civics education and engagement, \"because innovations and efficiencies in any of our branches mean little if the public we serve does not understand or trust us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The chief justice noted the state's dismal 31 percent turnout of eligible voters (42 percent of those registered) in last November's general election and said government leaders have a responsibility to encourage engagement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And I know that as three branches we can disagree on many, many things, but I’d like to hope we can agree on one thing, and that is our hope for a fair and enduring democracy,\" she said. \"And I think that can be achieved by supporting civics initiatives, supporting innovative smart decisions that benefit the people of California, and investing in the future, including the judiciary. So I look forward in this legislative year and beyond to work with you on that investment. \"\u003c/p>\n\n",

The committee's findings resulted in a 30 percent reduction in staff at headquarters and prompted the opening of Judicial Council meetings to the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The entire court system also has been embracing innovation, she said, pointing in particular toward 383 collaborative justice courts throughout California that aim to reduce recidivism and improve offender outcomes by combining supervision with rehabilitation services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But the cuts to the judiciary in recent years -- more than $1 billion over a five-year period -- means we must accelerate our search for innovations and efficiencies,\" she said. \"The California Judges Association is backing a number of thoughtful legislative proposals that should be studied.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To that end, Cantil-Sakauye said she created a commission that will \"take a fresh look at our legal infrastructure and will recommend ways to deliver justice and court services more efficiently without compromising fairness or due process.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She ended with a word of warning, saying she is also working on civics education and engagement, \"because innovations and efficiencies in any of our branches mean little if the public we serve does not understand or trust us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The chief justice noted the state's dismal 31 percent turnout of eligible voters (42 percent of those registered) in last November's general election and said government leaders have a responsibility to encourage engagement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And I know that as three branches we can disagree on many, many things, but I’d like to hope we can agree on one thing, and that is our hope for a fair and enduring democracy,\" she said. \"And I think that can be achieved by supporting civics initiatives, supporting innovative smart decisions that benefit the people of California, and investing in the future, including the judiciary. So I look forward in this legislative year and beyond to work with you on that investment. \"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
