"Here are the morning's top stories on Tuesday, November 25, 2025... Filing a habeas petition is unfamiliar for many attorneys. To help bridge the knowledge gap, immigration lawyers are turning to informal networks for help. Some organizations, like the American Immigration Lawyers Association, have even hosted formal workshops where lawyers can network and get a crash-course in filing habeas petitions."
"Santa Cruz County took a small step last week toward developing a policy to regulate battery energy storage systems (BESS). At almost the same time, Monterey County supervisors were having a similar conversation. "We just can't have somebody come in here while we don't have an ordinance," said District 2 Supervisor Glenn Church, during a Nov. 18 meeting. "We gotta develop an ordinance.""
"The heart of the issue for both counties is the idea of local control. Currently, companies can apply with the state for permits to build and run a BESS. They don't have to go through the county. But, if counties have ordinances governing BESS facilities, a company can instead choose to go the local route. That could mean more community support."
Filing a habeas petition is unfamiliar for many attorneys, prompting immigration lawyers to rely on informal networks for guidance. Some organizations, like the American Immigration Lawyers Association, have hosted workshops where lawyers can network and receive crash courses on habeas petitions. Santa Cruz County and Monterey County are considering how to regulate battery energy storage systems (BESS) through ordinances or moratoria. Companies can currently apply to the state for permits without county approval, but local ordinances would allow companies to pursue local review and potentially gain community support. State climate goals require rapid expansion of energy storage, creating tension with slower local processes.
