Trump administration defends immigration tactics after California worker death
VIRGINIA, JUL 14 – Virginia authorities arrested over 2,500 immigrants this year, claiming many are violent criminals, but officials have withheld details to verify identities or charges, officials said.
- On July 2, Public Counsel, the ACLU, and other attorneys filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles federal court accusing federal agents of unlawful detentions targeting immigrant workers at traditional hiring sites.
- The lawsuit alleges immigration officials conducted unconstitutional raids based on race, ethnicity, or occupation while denying detainees attorney access and confining them in abusive conditions.
- A federal judge in Los Angeles issued a detailed 52-page ruling requiring immigration authorities to cease detaining individuals without reasonable suspicion and to guarantee detainees daily access to attorneys through confidential, free phone calls.
- Government attorney Sean Skedzielewski denied illegal detention claims stating DHS acts on proper evidence and total circumstances, while plaintiffs' attorney Mark Rosenbaum called the ruling 'historic.'
- The Trump administration announced plans to appeal the ruling, with White House officials criticizing the court's authority, while Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass pledged financial aid to those affected by the raids.
