Appeals Court Thwarts Illegal Immigration Sweeps in California for Now

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, AUG 02 – The Ninth Circuit ruled that immigration stops based solely on race, language, or location violate constitutional rights, noting 83% of detainees were considered no threat, officials said.

  • On July 12, a temporary restraining order was upheld by an appellate court in the Ninth Circuit, preventing broad immigration enforcement actions in Southern California.
  • This order followed a lawsuit filed shortly before July 4 alleging the Trump administration targeted brown-skinned people during immigration enforcement sweeps.
  • The court found that detentions based solely on race, language, location, or occupation lacked reasonable suspicion and violated constitutional protections.
  • Data showed that as of July 21, 83% of 2,877 detainees were listed as no threat, and agents reportedly received unofficial instructions to bypass normal legal standards to detain people.
  • The ruling temporarily restricts immigration patrols, with a preliminary injunction hearing set for September, signaling ongoing legal challenges to immigration enforcement tactics.
