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.

  • A federal judge ruled on Friday that the Trump administration must stop conducting broad immigration raids and detentions across seven counties in California, including Los Angeles.
  • The order followed a lawsuit filed last week by immigrant advocacy groups accusing the administration of racially targeting brown-skinned individuals during a broad immigration crackdown.
  • The lawsuit accused immigration officials of unconstitutional practices such as targeting individuals based on race, making arrests without warrants, preventing detainees from consulting with attorneys, and subjecting them to poor conditions at detention centers like the B-18 facility in downtown Los Angeles.
  • Mohammad Tajsar, representing the ACLU, stated that Brian Gavidia, a detained U.S. citizen, suffered physical assault solely because of his Latino heritage while working in a predominantly Latin American area. In contrast, government lawyer Sean Skedzielewski argued there is no proof that race influenced arrests, explaining that agents based their actions on specific, individualized investigations and a range of contextual factors.
  • Judge Maame E. Frimpong’s order also requires reopening detainee access to attorneys and prohibits using race, language, or location alone as grounds for stops, highlighting ongoing regional tensions and widespread advocacy support.
