加州新法禁法院千英尺内无证民事逮捕 文图拉县监狱适用与否未明

加州参议院第 873 号法案明年 1 月 1 日生效,联邦执法人员无司法令状不得在法院 1000 英尺内实施民事逮捕,但该法是否适用于文图拉县主监狱尚不明确。据《文图拉县之星报》15 日报道,该法旨在保障无证移民出入司法系统的权利,但位于加州文图拉县的县主监狱是移民与海关执法局经常逮捕无证移民的地点,法案未提及监狱是否在保护范围内。
加州现行法律已禁止在法院内无司法令状实施民事逮捕,第 873 号法案把保护范围扩大到法院外 1000 英尺;违反者构成非法拘禁,须承担 1 万美元民事赔偿。加州总检察长办公室与法案联署人的办公室均未说明该法如何适用于监狱。文图拉县警长办公室与县法律顾问认为,该法并不禁止在监狱释放大厅内实施民事逮捕;但部分地方领袖希望该法适用于主监狱,让无证移民在明年 1 月 1 日后更有安全感。法案联署团体加州公设辩护人协会的凯特·查特菲尔德认为,如果县监狱距法院在 1000 英尺内,监狱内外的民事逮捕同样违法,没有例外。
文图拉县警长办公室自愿配合移民与海关执法局;据 10 月 20 日真相法案论坛披露,该办公室 2025 年向该局通报约 169 人,联邦人员从监狱带走 114 人,是此前两年中任何一年的两倍多。国土安全部未回应置评请求。
California's New Courthouse-Arrest Ban Leaves Ventura County Jail Question Unanswered
California Senate Bill 873 takes effect on January 1, barring federal officers from making civil arrests within 1,000 feet of a courthouse without a judicial warrant, but whether it covers the Ventura County main jail remains unclear, the Ventura County Star reported on Sunday. The law aims to protect undocumented immigrants' access to the courts, yet the main jail, in Ventura County, California, is a frequent site of arrests by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the bill says nothing about jails inside the 1,000-foot zone.
Existing California law already bars civil arrests inside a courthouse without a federal judicial warrant; SB 873 extends that protection 1,000 feet outward. Violations count as false imprisonment and carry $10,000 in civil damages. The California Attorney General's Office and the office of a bill co-author did not explain how the law applies to jails. The Ventura County Sheriff's Office and county counsel say the bill does not bar civil arrests inside the jail's release lobby, while some local leaders hope it will apply to the main jail and make undocumented immigrants feel safer after January 1. Kate Chatfield, executive director of the California Public Defenders Association, a bill co-sponsor, said that if a jail sits within 1,000 feet of its courthouse, civil arrests in or just outside the jail would also violate the law, with no exceptions.
The sheriff's office cooperates voluntarily with ICE; at an October 20 TRUTH Act forum it disclosed about 169 notifications to ICE in 2025, with federal agents picking up 114 people from the jail, more than double either of the previous two years. The Department of Homeland Security did not respond to questions.
