Irvine City Council Unanimously Approves Filing of an Amicus Brief

Today, at a special meeting the Irvine City Council unanimously voted to file an amicus brief in response to a December 11, 2020 court order that requires an early release of up to 50 percent of the inmates currently held in Orange County jails. The City of Irvine’s “friend of the court” statement challenges the court order as written, suggesting instead that it is possible to protect the health and safety of inmates without releasing them.
