The Sacramento Bee reports on Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye’s appearance this morning at a Capitol panel discussion hosted by Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Hannah-Beth Jackson.  (Video here.)  The Chief Justice “feels it’s her duty to speak out on federal policy that allows Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials to detain people in and around courtrooms.  ‘If no one ever speaks out, then we can never be the land of the free and the home of the brave,’ Cantil-Sakauye said.”

This is not a new position for the Chief Justice.
