In October, Immigration and Customs Enforcement made just seven arrests at San Francisco immigration courts, a steep reduction after months of routinely detaining immigrants after their hearings. There have been no arrests of immigrants attending hearings at the immigration court at 630 Sansome St. since Oct. 3, according to Milli Atkinson, a lawyer with the San Francisco Bar Association who closely monitors ICE actions there. At 100 Montgomery St., the city's other immigration courthouse, the last arrest recorded by Mission Local was on Aug. 20.

According to court records, Robinson and two accomplices broke into a family home on a January night in 2012. The burglars restrained the family with zip ties, pistol-whipped the father, and threatened to kill a three-year-old child while attempting to steal money and jewelry. Police arrived during the burglary, leading to a shootout in which one accomplice fatally shot himself. Robinson was found hiding inside the house and arrested after resisting officers.

Habeas corpus is the legal principle that requires that the government provide a public reason for detaining and imprisoning people, separating free societies from police states.

Habeas Corpus continues to stand strong in the U.S., as several detainees successfully secured releases through federal courts, allowing them to continue their academic work.
