Federal agents have intensified their operations in Los Angeles, detaining immigrants and U.S. citizens in public spaces. A lawsuit by the ACLU and other rights groups claims that these raids are unconstitutional, driven by quotas instead of probable cause. A federal judge granted a restraining order against these practices, emphasizing that the government must adhere to existing laws without requiring costly training. Similar past operations in Kern County faced judicial intervention due to their questionable execution.
Federal agents have aggressively detained immigrants and U.S. citizens at various locations in Los Angeles, with promises of similar raids across other major U.S. cities.
The ACLU and rights groups described the raids as an unconstitutional 'immigration dragnet' based on arrest quotas rather than probable cause.
Frimpong ruled that the federal government must comply with existing immigration laws without requiring additional training or bonding, denying the Department of Homeland Security's request.
A previous operation in Kern County saw Border Patrol agents arresting individuals under questionable circumstances, which was also halted by a federal judge.
