Can a plaintiff bring a claim under section 52.1 of the California Civil Rights Code against a public official for allegedly interfering with her civil rights?

Section 52.1 "provides a cause of action for violations of a plaintiff's state or federal civil rights committed by 'threats, intimidation, or coercion.'" Chaudhry v. City of Los Angeles, 751 F.3d 1096, 1105 (9th Cir. 2014) (quoting Cal. Civ. Code 52.1). "Claims under section 52.1 may be brought against public officials who are alleged to interfere with protected rights, and qualified immunity is not available for those claims." Reese v.
