What started out as a normal day, led to several Cal Poly Humboldt art students finding their lockers bare. In Assistant Professor Eliseo Casiano’s Painting I, art materials ranging from paint brushes, film negatives and entire paint sets were stolen from various student lockers, throughout the department on Feb. 2, due to many of the lockers not being locked.

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.
