Federal Court Orders Halt to Race-Based Immigration Raids in California
The Trump administration plans to appeal a federal court order that requires it to cease race-based immigration arrests in California, following a lawsuit alleging targeted profiling of Latino residents. The court had found that the government was conducting patrols without reasonable suspicion and denying access to legal counsel, prompting a judge to order new guidelines. The administration argues that immigration enforcement is a matter for Congress and the President, and that the court's decision oversteps judicial authority.
