Overview

  • The order stems from a July 2 lawsuit by immigrant advocates who argued ICE’s “roving patrols” in Los Angeles and six neighboring counties violated Fourth and Fifth Amendment protections
  • During July 10–11 raids at two Glass House Farms sites in Camarillo and Carpinteria, agents arrested about 200 individuals suspected of living in the country without authorization
  • Investigators found and removed 10 migrant minors at the cannabis facilities, triggering a formal child labor probe into the operations
  • Farmworker Jaime Alanis died after falling roughly 30 feet from a greenhouse roof during the chaotic enforcement action
  • The Department of Homeland Security and the White House denounced the ruling as judicial overreach and have signaled plans to appeal as broader legal challenges to the administration’s deportation strategy proceed
