Make a CALL and EMAIL to URGE TRINITY PLAZA 33 8th Street LLC to Dismiss The Eviction Case Against The Tenant Detained by ICE!

A 42-year-old San Francisco tenant from Russia is facing eviction by Trinity Properties—one of the city’s largest landlords—while he remains in federal immigration custody. He lives at Trinity Place, 33 Eighth St., in the SoMa neighborhood in District 6. He has been held in ICE custody since January 5, 2026.

The tenant, who fled Russia due to political persecution, had an eviction trial scheduled for last Monday morning at the 400 McAllister Street courthouse. The Eviction Defense Collaborative, which represents him in the case, obtained a two-week continuance, postponing the hearing until Tuesday, March 17, 2026.

According to attorneys with the Eviction Defense Collaborative, lawyers for the landlord have declined to reschedule the hearing despite being informed that the tenant is detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

This case raises broader concerns about whether individuals in immigration detention nationwide are being effectively denied due process in non-immigration matters, including civil, housing, and family court cases. Proceeding with eviction during this period would impose severe and lasting harm, including the loss of housing and stability for the tenant who relies on his home.
