The San Francisco Immigration Court, located at 100 Montgomery St, will close by Jan. 2027, according to a leaked memo from Chief Immigration Judge Teresa L. Riley.

The court oversees deportation cases across Northern California and currently has 120,000 pending cases, according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse report.

The San Francisco Immigration Court hears deportation cases and operates under the Executive Office of Immigration Review (EOIR), a branch of the U.S. Department of Justice. The closure comes after most of its immigration judges have either left or been fired over the past year.

Under the arena lights, the court gleamed as the Lumberjacks were determined to continue their winning streak.

Cal Poly Humboldt’s Women’s Basketball team secured their spot in the California Collegiate Athletic Association Tournament after a winning season. They played their final two home games on Feb. 26 and Feb. 28 before heading to Pomona, going against Cal State Monterey Bay and Cal State San Marcos Cougars.

Compared to last season, when the team struggled to consistently close out games and stack wins, the team kept improving with each game. One of the team’s guards, Sienna Cherwinski, who is new to the team and wears number five, shared her excitement before the match against Cal State Monterey Bay.

From inner city Los Angeles to redwood trees, Tina Sampay, a Cal Poly Humboldt alum, self-published, “Slauson Girl: The Journey of a Black Journalist in South Central” earlier this year. When she’s not spending time with loved ones or nature, she can be found learning and engaging with her community.

Sampay’s memoir documents her lived experiences as a Black journalist navigating white institutions, while also engaging with themes of race, power, state-sanctioned violence and the ongoing marginalization of Black women’s voices. Sampay felt that it was necessary to build Black media as a counter-narrative highlighting voices who are often silenced.
