And right now, when I came in … I started kind of feeling the same way I was in the cell, being isolated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After nearly 17 months locked up in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention centers, Avilez is now adjusting to a strange kind of freedom — with Californians ordered to shelter at home because of the coronavirus pandemic. [aside tag=\"immigration\" label=\"related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Avilez has lived most of her 41 years in California, after being brought to the U.S. from Mexico as a baby. But in 2018, Avilez was turned over to ICE after serving time for a felony assault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Avilez was assigned male at birth but struggled with gender identity for years. While in ICE custody at the Yuba County Jail in Marysville, California, and fighting deportation in immigration court, Avilez began to identify as female, and a jail doctor ordered treatment for gender dysphoria.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In December 2019, without the knowledge of her lawyer, ICE \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11793952/sf-public-defenders-office-takes-on-ice-over-transfer-of-client-to-texas\">transferred Avilez\u003c/a> to a detention facility in Texas — which officials said was the only place the agency could provide her the hormone therapy she needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, on April 8, U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer ruled that Avilez was entitled to a bond hearing. An immigration judge found Avilez was not a flight risk and granted her release on a bond of $10,000, which was paid by the California-based nonprofit \u003ca href=\"https://www.freedomforimmigrants.org/\">Freedom for Immigrants\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE released Avilez on April 24 and flew her back to California. [ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Avilez said she’s happy to be free. But, ironically, she has found it hard to be away from the Prairieland Detention Center, south of Dallas, where ICE houses some transgender detainees. Avilez spent just over three months there and received the hormone treatment she sought. She said it was one of the few places she felt accepted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They didn’t see me no different, and that’s why I was happy and I got real close with them,” she said of the other immigrants in detention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, Avilez is back with her family. But returning home in the midst of a pandemic is complicated, and being home has brought up feelings of isolation and claustrophobia that she felt before she found friends at the Texas facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other people who’ve been \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11813278/for-formerly-incarcerated-students-shelter-in-place-can-feel-like-prison-again\">previously incarcerated\u003c/a> have also reported that the shelter-in-place order has triggered some memories of isolation from inside. [pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Lexis Hernandez Avilez']‘… I want to be able to wear my makeup. I don’t have to be scared no more.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Avilez, the difficult adjustment is not just the result of the time she spent in prison and detention, but that she’s back in her aunt’s house — trying to live her life authentically in close quarters with some family members who haven’t seen her since she transitioned to female.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My aunt still calls me m’ijo. It’s kind of hard for her, and I understand that. I’ll have to sit down and talk with her about that later,” Avilez said. “But, I want to be able to wear my makeup. I don’t have to be scared no more.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Avilez lost an initial bid for asylum, but she has appealed. While she awaits her next immigration court hearing, she said she’s eager to get her life started again. She wants to get a cellphone, so that she can call the friends she made in detention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also wants to get her job back. Avilez said she used to work in the medical field as a service technician, helping people who use wheelchairs and providing assistance to the elderly across Monterey County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m happy I’m free. [Though] I don’t feel completely free because I’m wearing an ankle monitor … I can’t go out,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since Avilez left ICE custody, she has not had access to hormone treatment. But attorney Hector Vega of the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office, who represents Avilez in her immigration case, said social workers in his office have found a clinic in Monterey County that can provide her the medication, free of charge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her first act of independence since being released from detention, Avilez bought a pink T-shirt with a single parentheses in the middle and colons dotting either side, creating the image of both a sad and happy face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Is it a happy face?” Avilez asked. “You decide if it’s happy or not.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

The arrest was strongly condemned by the city’s public defender and district attorney, who say courthouses should be off limits to immigration enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco resident was on his way to a court hearing at 850 Bryant St. when he was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents — the first such arrest in the city, said the Public Defender’s Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This undermines community trust and public safety,” said San Francisco Public Defender Mano Raju. “It does deter people from coming to court.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, ICE agents also \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/ICE-arrests-3-at-Sonoma-County-courthouse-local-15067595.php\">detained two men\u003c/a> at the Sonoma County Superior Court.

U.S. Attorney General William Barr \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/speech/attorney-general-william-p-barr-delivers-remarks-national-sheriffs-association-winter\">said\u003c/a> last month that public areas of courthouses must be accessible to federal law enforcement officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A California law that took effect this year, \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB668\">Assembly Bill 668\u003c/a>, which prohibits civil arrests in courthouses without a judicial warrant, which the agents did not have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California law explicitly forbids a civil enforcement agency like ICE from making a civil arrest without warrant outside of a courthouse,” Raju said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Trump administration argues that immigration agents have the authority to make courthouse arrests without judicial warrants.

The rest are appointed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='jeff-adachi' label='KQED coverage of Jeff Adachi']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question is: What difference, if any, does it make whether a public defender is elected or not?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Adachi's memorial service at City Hall, San Francisco Mayor London Breed remembered how hard the 59-year-old public defender advocated for more fairness in the criminal justice system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Jeff led the way on so many progressive policy reforms, from reducing recidivism, ending cash bail to standing up for undocumented and unrepresented children,\" Breed said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All those things — advocating for policy reform, lobbying for more city funding, strongly challenging police misconduct, even running for mayor — are not things most public defenders do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Years before Adachi died, he told KQED that being independently elected gave him the freedom to do things appointed public defenders can't.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think it puts public defenders at a disadvantage when you're at-will and you have to answer to the Board of Supervisors rather than the electorate,\" Adachi said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco attorney Alicia Gamez thinks all public defenders in California should have that kind of independence to give clients the robust legal defense the U.S. Constitution guarantees.

But I have pissed them off royally — publicly, privately and every which way. I don’t feel very constrained.
