Judge orders Trump administration to halt indiscriminate immigration stops, arrests in California
CALIFORNIA, JUL 12 – Judge Frimpong’s order halts immigration arrests without probable cause in seven California counties, citing unconstitutional racial profiling and ensuring detainees access to legal counsel, advocates said.
- On July 2, a group of lawyers filed a lawsuit in federal court in Los Angeles on behalf of Southern California individuals and laborers who claim they were unlawfully stopped and detained by federal immigration agents.
- The lawsuit alleges the Trump administration’s immigration raids relied on unconstitutional tactics, such as stopping individuals based solely on race, ethnicity, language, location, or occupation.
- A federal judge in Los Angeles issued urgent orders prohibiting detentions without reasonable suspicion and mandating that detainees at the ICE facility known as B-18 have access to legal counsel every day of the week.
- Attorney Mohammad Tajsar of the ACLU noted the ruling guarantees constitutional rights regardless of skin color or workplace, while government attorney Sean Skedzielewski denied racial profiling, citing evidence-based enforcement.
- The ruling temporarily halts broad immigration raids in seven California counties and sparked praise from Democratic leaders and Governor Gavin Newsom, who declared that justice prevailed today.
