ACLU Monitors Border Patrol After Court Blocks Kern County Raids

NEW YORK CITY AND NEW YORK STATE, JUL 21 – New York governments allocated over $600 million to sanctuary groups providing legal and social services that oppose federal immigration enforcement, fueling ongoing policy disputes.

  • District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong issued an emergency order on July 11 blocking certain Border Patrol enforcement actions in California and detailing government overreach.
  • This order follows a federal injunction from April requiring Border Patrol to have reasonable suspicion before enforcement and reflects challenges to the administration's move to end birthright citizenship.
  • The ACLU highlighted racial profiling accusations during immigration raids in Kern County and now monitors Border Patrol activity closely under the court's terms, expecting a new arrest report soon.
  • Oliver Ma of the ACLU said, "They stopped a ton of people just for being brown," and the Kern County operation was called a 'proof of concept' for further enforcement.
  • The order and ongoing legal scrutiny indicate growing judicial resistance to immigration enforcement tactics lacking sufficient legal basis and signal uncertainty around sanctuary enforcement policies.
