State Senator Sasha Renee Perez was in the state Capitol working on a new bill she introduced today to address human rights abuses occurring in California. 
Senator Perez today introduced SB 995, the Masuma Khan Justice Act, designed to strengthen state oversight of detention centers by authorizing state agencies to inspect facilities, imposing $25k-per-day fines, and revoking licenses of private detention facilities that fail to meet health and safety standards. 
The bill is named after Masuma Khan, a fire survivor from Altadena who was taken by ICE during her immigration check-in appointment, and sent to Core Civic’s California City detention center, where she was denied access to counsel, denied access to medical care, and denied clean water and food. 
High school and junior high school students have been holding walkouts all week, including today, with an estimated 40 schools participating across the Southland to demand ICE leave their neighborhoods. 
As for the raids, well, since Tom Homan, the Border Czar, demoted Greg Bovino and announced he was integrating Border Patrol with ICE, we haven’t seen the roving raids this week. 
Even so, ICE has continued to conduct targeted arrests. 
Other than the big day they had on Monday, where they took at least 18 people, including 8 from a Monterey Park home across from Mark Keppel High School, we only received about 10 confirmed incidents between Tuesday and today. 
We assume the relatively calm week is due to the restructuring announced by Tom Homan, who has remained adamant that mass deportation remains the goal and that nobody, with or without a criminal record, is off the table. 
And while border patrol has not been as active in the southland, they’re still around, having meetings at MDC and at the Santa Ana field office.
