Why it matters
Donald Trump was elected president for a second term in November 2024 after promising to replace illegal immigration to the United States, and his administration said she hoped to expel at least 1 million illegal migrants per year.
The Republicans controlling the two chambers of the congress in addition to the White House, the courts have become one of the main obstacles to the policy of administration of Trump. The courts have canceled the punitive measures introduced by the president against the judicial firms involved in the affairs against him; abolished sanctions intended for international criminal courts; And blocked an attempt to strip thousands of Haitian migrants from legal protections.
What to know
On Friday, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in the United States judged that a temporary prohibition order preventing agents from the application of immigration to hold persons on the basis of their occupation or their language was legally valid and may remain in force.
He indicated that part of the ordinance of the American district judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong had been vague, but added that “the defendants, however, will not be able to succeed in their remaining arguments”.
The initial case was carried by two American nationals who declared that they had been arrested and questioned by the application of immigration, despite the confirmation of the citizens and by three people detainees to a bus stop where they sought to find work.

In addition, Friday also saw the judge of the American district JIA COBB prohibit the Ministry of Internal Security from using a controversial tactic against migrants who had obtained a parole of immigration, allowing them to live and work legally in the United States.
In a certain number of cases in recent months, the pending cases against such migrants have been rejected after which they were held outside the courthouse and put through an accelerated refulsion expulsion process.
COBB said its decision will have an impact on “hundreds of thousands” of migrants. He actually cancels a Trump administration directive published on January 23, asking that “accelerated ablation”, a faster expulsion process, should be widely used.
What people say
Mayor of Los Angeles Karen Bass He welcomed the decision of the Friday court of appeal, saying: “Today is a victory for the rule of law and for the city of Los Angeles.
“The temporary prohibition order which protected our communities against immigration agents using racial profiling and other illegal tactics during their raids and aggressive sweeping will remain in place for the moment.”
Referring to the migrants granted to the conditional immigration release in his judgment, COBB judge said: “In a world of bad options, they have played by the rules. Now the government has not only closed these ways for new arrivals, but has already changed the game for conditional freed here.”
Speaking to Politico, The spokesperson for the Department of Internal Security Tricia McLaughlin said: “COBB judge in a blatant manner ignores the United States Supreme Court which confirmed the moves of illegal immigrants by a majority 7-2. This decision is without law and will not be held.”
What happens next
The prohibition order of the district judge Frimpong temporarily limits the use of employment and language as the only factor in the detention of alleged illegal migrants, and the full case has not yet been heard.
The Trump administration could seek to degenerate the two cases to the Supreme Court, which has a majority in the workforce.
