In May of 2021, the Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors passed racially motivated ordinances to cut off water to the county’s Hmong residents. The county failed to provide a sufficient rationale for enacting the ordinances or for their discriminatory targeting of Hmong people.

In August of 2021, the ACLU of Northern California and Advancing Justice-Asian Law Caucus filed an amicus brief supporting a lawsuit against the water ordinances. And in September, a judge issued a temporary injunction against two of the ordinances.
