Alameda County supes to vote on $3.6M emergency immigrant funds

OAKLAND, Calif. The Alameda County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday will consider a $3.57 million emergency funding request to support immigrant and refugee communities.

The money would go toward funding Alameda County’s rapid response hotline, deportation defense and legal services, and community outreach, education and training.
