It's 5.42. A judge ordered the release
of a UC Berkeley student from detention
after she was taken into custody
at San Francisco International Airport.
Now, back on October 30th, 23-year-old Paula Albornoz Hernandez
was about to board a flight with her boyfriend
when she was arrested by ICE agents.
According to the Department of Homeland Security, her visa had expired.
Her lawyer says she was in the U.S. from Colombia on a valid work visa
and had also filed an asylum application.
The judge's ruling means that her case will
be reset to where it was before she was arrested.
She'll also be able to resume classes at UC Berkeley,
which gave an outpouring of support.
We had a huge amount of letters of support that we were able to
file alongside her emergency motion
and habeas petition. They really go to show the level to
which that she has ties within the community,
the level to which she has built up a life here.
The attorney for Hernandez says there's concerns for her health.
She was being held in Kern County
at the California City Detention Center.
That facility has been the focus
of criticism about poor conditions for detainees.
It's now 5.44.
An 18-year-old man arrested in connection
with a deadly shooting at Moss Landing State Beach
will not face criminal charges, at least not now.
Donald Breeden of Greenfield was arrested last week,
but the Monterey County DA's office says there's
not enough evidence to rule out self-defense.
Two teenagers from Salinas, ages 13 and 15,
were killed in that November 2nd shooting.
A third person was wounded.
The investigation is still open, and prosecutors say
charges could still be filed if new evidence emerges.
We'll see.
