Friday, a court of appeal was mainly maintained in the restrictions on “itinerant” immigration raids in the Los Angeles region, agree with a Underground Court judge Who noted that the scans carried out by the Trump administration in southern California seemed to have been based on the breed of people and other factors, like speaking Spanish.
A panel of judges of the American Court of Appeal for the ninth circuit largely refused a request for Trump administration to suspend the decision of the lower courtyardThis forced federal immigration officials to suspect reasonable suspect that someone is illegally in the country before holding them.
Immigration raids at the center of the legal battle sparked massive demonstrations in the Los Angeles region in June, as well as generalized fears among the great Latin American community in the region. While most of the demonstrations were peaceful, the cases of violence led President Trump to deploy troops from the National Guard and the US Marines in Los Angeles with the order to protect federal buildings and immigration agents applying its large -scale repression against illegal immigration. Most of them have since been demobilized.
These very mediated immigration arrests in California continued, led by customs and border protection agents who were responsible for helping immigration and customs’ application agents to advance the Trump administration campaign – in some cases, far from the American -Mexican border.
Beyond the requirement of the CBP and the ice to have reasonable suspicion before having someone, the July ordinance of the American district judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong prohibited federal agents from founding arrests on the race or ethnicity of people, the fact that they speak Spanish or have an accent, their presence in a place or their occupation.
Frimpong said that any immigration arrest that rested exclusively on these factors violated the 4th amendment to the American Constitution, which protects individuals from searches and unreasonable crises.
“We agree with the district court that, in the context of the California central district, the four factors listed in question – apparent breed or ethnic, speaking Spanish or speaking English with an accent, a particular location and a type of work, even when considered together – only describe only a large profile and” do not demonstrate reasonable suspicions for a particular stop ” written on Friday.
The panel was made up of circuit judges Ronald M. Gould, Marsha S. Berton and Jennifer Sung, appointed former presidents Bill Clinton and Joe Biden.
The affairs cited in the trial against immigration sweeping in the Los Angeles region involved arrests in June near a washing of cars, a towing and other places where American citizens were one of those interviewed about their legal status and held by federal agents. The defenders described operations as “itinerant patrols”.
The 9th circuit modified part of the FRIMPONG’s decision, removing an exception to its ban on using the four factors that include the race and the vocation of people during the arrest. The panel said that a “law allowed by law” clause in his order was too vague.
The defenders of prolonged immigrants welcomed the decision on Friday, denouncing the immigration of the Trump administration which sweeps away the blind raids which aroused fear in the Los Angeles region.
“Each person, whatever their immigration status, has the right to live, work and belong to their community without being driven out, harassed or locked up,” said Lindsay Toczylowski, president of the Immigrant Defenders Law Center, a group based in Los Angeles who represent those who are confronted with depression.
The Trump Administration has argued before the courts that federal officials are based on intelligence packages and certain information – such as “past experiences” that immigrants living in the United States illegally frequent or work in certain places – when carrying out immigration operations.
CBS News contacted representatives of the Department of Internal Security, which oversees ice cream and CBP, to request comments on Friday.
