A federal judge on Friday blocked the Trump administration from carrying out indiscriminate immigration stops and arrests in seven California counties, including Los Angeles. US District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong — an appointee of former President Joe Biden — found that “roving patrols” of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were unlawfully targeting individuals for arrest in the Central District of California absent “reasonable suspicion” that they were in the US illegally. “The factors that defendants appear to rely on for reasonable suspicion seem no more indicative of illegal presence in the country than of legal presence — such as working at low-wage occupations such as car wash attendants and day laborers,” Frimpong wrote in her 52-page ruling.
