Southern California Detainees, Advocates, Celebrate ‘Temporary’ Win in Challenge to ICE Raids

LOS ANGELES COUNTY AND SIX SURROUNDING COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA, AUG 4 – The 9th Circuit ruling blocks ICE from arrests based on race, language, or job, protecting immigrant communities amid allegations of unconstitutional enforcement tactics, according to court documents.

  • On August 1, 2025, a three-judge panel of the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a temporary restraining order blocking ICE from stops in Southern California.
  • Frimpong cited `a mountain of evidence` of constitutional violations when she issued a TRO on July 12 halting ICE enforcement across seven Southern California counties.
  • In Los Angeles County and six counties, the ruling prohibits agents from stopping people without reasonable suspicion or based solely on four factors.
  • Following the appeals court's decision, Mayor Karen Bass called it `a victory for the rule of law` and reaffirmed the city's commitment to protecting immigrant families.
  • Appealing to the Supreme Court, the federal government could seek review, and Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong has scheduled a hearing for Sept. 24.
