Appeals court keeps in place restrictions on immigration stops in L.A. based on language and job
- A federal appeals court late Friday upheld a lower court's order blocking indiscriminate immigration arrests in Southern California.
- The ruling follows a lawsuit last month alleging Trump administration raids targeted migrants based on race, language, and location without reasonable suspicion.
- The three-judge panel maintained that federal agents cannot detain people solely for apparent ethnicity, speaking Spanish, or working at specific sites like car washes.
- Lindsay Toczylowski emphasized that the ruling makes it clear that the federal government is not exempt from the law, while Mayor Karen Bass described the outcome as a triumph for legal principles.
- The decision preserves protections against racial profiling and signals ongoing legal opposition to the administration’s immigration enforcement tactics in Los Angeles.
