Overview

  • The Justice Department has appealed Judge Frimpong’s temporary order that bars ICE from conducting roving patrols based solely on race or appearance.
  • Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill Act’ funding will drive expanded ICE and CBP enforcement across California.
  • Border Czar Tom Homan reiterated that officers must rely on articulable facts beyond physical appearance to justify detention under Fourth Amendment standards.
  • Last week’s Camarillo and Carpinteria raids, conducted under criminal warrants for trafficking investigations, yielded 361 arrests and the rescue of 14 unaccompanied migrant children.
  • Sanctuary jurisdictions and civil-rights advocates maintain lawsuits against the administration even as recent polls show rising public support for immigration.
