A settlement was reached in BHB’s lawsuit against the City of Huntington Park and the Huntington Park Police Department to stop its illegal practice of holding immigrants for ICE on the basis of ICE detainer requests. The city agreed to a court-ordered injunction barring it from future illegal conduct and to make a $74,100 donation to the Council of Mexican Federations in North America, a nonprofit immigration advocacy organization, to make amends for its past practice of illegally honoring ICE detainer requests.
