As the article explains:
For the first time in its 111-year history, the Los Angeles County Public Defender’s Office will be able to represent people in immigration court. A new unit will screen individuals for immigration representation, offer guidance and referrals and, for those who qualify, provide direct legal defense in immigration proceedings through in-house immigration attorneys.
