US EditionTrump Admin Asks Appeals Court to Pause Order Requiring Officials to Stop Immigration Arrests without Probable Cause
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, JUL 14 – The ruling prohibits immigration enforcement based on race or ethnicity and requires legal access for detainees, following protests and a lawsuit by civil rights groups.
- On July 14, 2025, the Trump administration requested that a federal appeals court temporarily suspend a judge’s ruling that halted immigration detentions lacking reasonable suspicion in Southern California.
- The request follows a June 13 restraining order by Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong prohibiting immigration enforcement practices using race, ethnicity, or location as bases for arrests, amid a wider legal battle over executive immigration policies.
- The order covers seven counties including Los Angeles and Riverside and requires DHS to develop new guidance for officers; enforcement paused after aggressive raids sparked protests and legal challenges citing constitutional violations.
- Experts including UC Berkeley’s Erwin Chemerinsky noted the ruling’s strong factual basis, while DOJ lawyers called the judicial intervention untenable, arguing it unduly restructures agency operations.
- The appeals court’s decision on the administrative stay could affect immigration enforcement scope, with advocates warning ongoing uncertainty weakens communities and judicial review raises separation-of-powers concerns.
