Overview

• U.S. District Judge Maame Frimpong issued a temporary restraining order preventing ICE and CBP from detaining migrants without reasonable suspicion or on the basis of race, ethnicity, language, employment or location
• The ruling compels the Department of Homeland Security to provide detainees at the downtown Los Angeles B-18 federal building with lawyer access every day, including weekends and holidays
• Migrant advocates and families represented by ACLU Southern California sued over alleged Fourth and Fifth Amendment violations and profiling at bus stations, car washes and agricultural sites
• The Department of Homeland Security has denounced the court’s findings as “repugnant and categorically false” and is preparing an appeal against the injunction
• Videos from June 22 showing masked agents using force against workers fueled public outcry and underscored a month of mounting legal and community opposition to the raids
