The 9th Circuit Court upheld a previous lower court ruling that deemed ICE raids targeting individuals due to their ethnicity, language, or location as unlawful. This decision challenges the Trump administration's immigration policies, asserting that such practices are unconstitutional and not grounded in public safety. The ruling originated from a lawsuit by the ACLU Foundation of Southern California and Public Counsel against the administration. The court's decision ensures a continued ban on such discriminatory raids in southern California while the case progresses.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit upheld a ruling against indiscriminate ICE raids based on racial identity, language, or location, deeming them unlawful.
The ruling indicated that targeting migrants was based not on criminal suspicion but rather on traits such as speaking Spanish or appearing of a certain ethnicity.
The ACLU and Public Counsel argued that the raids were unconstitutional, rooted in harmful stereotypes and fear, rather than actual public safety concerns.
The Ninth Circuit's decision confirms the lower court's ban on these raids in southern California, emphasizing protection against discriminatory practices.
