US EditionAppeals court keeps in place restrictions on immigration stops in L.A. based on language and job
- A federal appellate court based in the western United States upheld a temporary restraining order issued on July 11 that prohibits immigration officials in Southern California from detaining individuals solely because of their language, occupation, race, or location.
- The order stemmed from a lawsuit filed by individuals alleging they were unlawfully detained during immigration enforcement actions in Los Angeles in June, a period marked by significant protests and the deployment of National Guard members and Marines.
- Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong ruled that reasonable suspicion cannot be based on race, ethnicity, language, location, or employment alone or combined, a decision affirmed by three appeals judges despite noting one phrase was vague.
- Mark Rosenbaum, senior counsel at Public Counsel, called the ruling a powerful message rejecting racial profiling, while the government said it would continue enforcement policies despite legal challenges.
- The ruling maintains legal protections against unconstitutional immigration detentions in Southern California, signaling ongoing judicial limits on federal deportation practices and earning praise from Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.
