The Alameda County Board of Supervisors approved around $2.2 million on Tuesday to be used for protecting illegal immigrants in the Oakland, California, area and providing legal services to them.
"I'm committed, and I believe Supervisor [Elisa] Marquez is also committed, to making sure the board, the public, has more information and that this work is truly effective in reaching every single person in this community that is potentially at risk," Supervisor Nikki Fortunato Bas, chairwoman of the committee, said at the meeting.
Minutes from the meeting show that the board approved the use of $50,000 to the Asian Pacific Islander Legal Outreach to "provide legal services and advocacy to marginalized immigrant communities." The money is being pulled from the District 5 Prior Year Savings fund and the Discretionary Services and Supplies funds.
