Berkeley City Councilmember Jesse Arreguin said Berkeley’s situation is different from that of Oakland because Berkeley has not had any raids or forcible closures.

However, Arreguin said he feels the council should support the lawsuit and file an amicus curiae — or a “friend of the court” — which would allow Berkeley to publicly show its support in the Oakland lawsuit.
