Judge orders Trump administration to halt indiscriminate immigration stops, arrests in California
CALIFORNIA, JUL 12 – The injunction aims to prevent indiscriminate immigration enforcement actions that may violate legal protections, affecting thousands of individuals in the state, court documents show.
- On Friday, July 11, 2025, a federal judge directed the Trump administration to discontinue widespread immigration raids and detentions across seven counties in California, among them Los Angeles.
- The order came in response to a lawsuit filed last week by immigrant advocacy groups alleging that the administration has been engaging in racially biased immigration enforcement against individuals with brown skin during its ongoing crackdown.
- The ruling bars the government from using race, ethnicity, language, location, or occupation alone as the basis for suspicion and requires full attorney access and confidential phone calls at the B-18 detention facility seven days a week.
- Lawyers reported being denied access to detainees who lacked sufficient phone access and were pressured under poor conditions to sign papers consenting to deportation before consulting attorneys.
- The order received backing from the top legal officials of 18 states led by the Democratic Party and reflects heightened judicial oversight of immigration enforcement amid widespread protests and confrontations following recent raids.
