Judge orders Trump administration to halt indiscriminate immigration stops, arrests in California
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, JUL 13 – A federal judge halted ICE raids citing constitutional violations and mandated detainees have legal counsel access, as DHS arrested nearly 2,800 unauthorized immigrants in Los Angeles, officials said.
- On July 2, attorneys representing Southern California residents filed a lawsuit against the federal government over alleged unlawful immigration stops and detentions.
- The lawsuit followed increasing immigration raids across Southern California in the past month that plaintiffs claim relied on race, language, location, and occupation without reasonable suspicion.
- On Friday, a federal judge issued two temporary restraining orders that prohibit broad immigration stops in seven counties across California and mandate that detainees have access to legal representation.
- The orders prohibit stops based solely on race, ethnicity, language accent, location, or work, and ensure detainees in downtown Los Angeles receive unscreened, confidential attorney access, prompting Democratic praise and administration criticism.
- The ruling temporarily halts the immigration raids but the government expects to appeal, while state leaders affirm the importance of upholding constitutional protections against racial profiling.
