A federal appeals court has upheld a temporary ban on immigration-related arrests in Los Angeles without probable cause, rejecting the Trump administration’s challenge.
The ruling backs claims by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and several Southern California cities that federal agents used racial profiling and targeted people based on language, appearance, or location, according to Reuters.
Mayor Karen Bass called the decision a victory for the city, while the ACLU said it reaffirms that such enforcement tactics are unconstitutional and harmful.
