US EditionJudge orders Trump administration to halt indiscriminate immigration stops, arrests in California
LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 13 – Two temporary restraining orders prohibit Immigration and Customs Enforcement from using race or ethnicity alone for arrests and require detainees access to legal counsel, the court ruled.
- Last Friday, July 11, 2025, Judge Maame E. Frimpong issued orders requiring DHS to prevent racial profiling and provide detainees legal access in California.
- On July 2, advocates filed suit after widespread June arrests prompted the legal challenge, with the American Civil Liberties Union Foundation of Southern California involved.
- Under the order, agents are barred from racial profiling, DHS must allow detainee legal visits seven days a week, and detainees get free, confidential attorney calls.
- Meanwhile, attorneys general for 18 Democratic states filed briefs supporting the orders, while California officials praised the ruling as a rights defense.
- Going forward, while Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, said 'enforcement operations are highly targeted,' it's unclear whether immigration agents will scale back aggressive tactics in response to the order.
