Zoe Rosenberg was sentenced to 90 days in custody for rescuing four chickens from a Perdue slaughterhouse, a case that has drawn national attention from animal protection groups and concerns from her supporters about her medical safety in jail.
The California Coalition for Sheriff Oversight, the Law Enforcement Action Partnership, and the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California filed an amicus brief in support of the appeal of a 2024 Sonoma County Superior Court ruling that undermined civilian oversight of local law enforcement, arguing that the court’s decision was legally flawed and contradicted the legislative intent behind Assembly Bill 1185 and the local mandate for independent oversight expressed through Measure P.
The ACLU Foundation of Northern California and law firm O’Melveny & Myers LLP have filed a lawsuit against Sonoma County, alleging that the county’s code enforcement agency has conducted hundreds of warrantless drone flights over people’s homes, violating the California Constitution’s protections against unreasonable searches and its guarantee of personal privacy.
A Sonoma County judge rejected a gag order request from prosecutors in the case of animal rights activist Zoe Rosenberg, allowing her to continue speaking publicly about her pending criminal case involving the rescue of four sick chickens from a Perdue-owned slaughterhouse.
