Judge blocks Siskiyou County from cutting off water to South Asian immigrants in rural California
A federal judge on Friday temporarily blocked a Northern California county from enforcing water permit laws aimed at cracking down on illegal marijuana farms, finding the restrictions might be intended to drive a minority Asian community out of their homes. … Siskiyou County passed two ordinances in May 2021 requiring permits to extract and move groundwater off site and to transport water by truck.
