Sheriff Christina Corpus' plea for a temporary restraining order to prevent San Mateo County supervisors from deciding her fate was dismissed by Judge Nicole Healy. The hearing was held with minimal notice to the supervisors’ legal team, raising transparency concerns. Corpus faces allegations of corruption and abuse of power, with the Board of Supervisors moving forward under Measure A, which allows her firing with a four-fifths vote. Despite her denial of the charges, she contends her position as the first Latina sheriff has made her a target of discrimination.
