The court has adopted an Equal Access / Immigration Enforcement Activities Policy (pdf ) pursuant to Government Code § 7284.8(a) (external site ). Government Code § 7284.8(a) requires that the Attorney General publish model policies "limiting assistance with immigration enforcement to the fullest extent possible consistent with federal and state law" for courts to ensure that "[court facilities] remain safe and accessible to all California residents regardless of immigration status."

The court's policy adopts the provisions required by the Attorney General's model policies. The court's Equal Access / Immigration Enforcement Activities Policy (pdf ), issued September 16, 2020, is available on the court's website.
