Los Angeles – on Friday a Court of Appeals held on Friday a ruling by a federal judge of Los Angeles that prohibits immigration agents from using the language or spoken work of a person, such as the worker of the day, as the only pretext to stop people.
The 9th Court of Appeals of the United States in his ruling said that there seemed to be a problem with the temporary restriction order of the United States District Judge, Ewusi-Menah Frimpong, but did not revoke him as the Government sought.
The Court of Appeals said that a part of the July 11 restriction order seemed to be vague.
“It is not likely that the defendants do not succeed in their remaining arguments,” the court ruled, referring to the United States government.
Frimpong, a Judge of the US District Court. Uu. For the Central District of California in Los Angeles, he issued the temporal restriction order after the people who claimed that they were arrested by immigration officers stopped a lawsuit without a good reason.
Three people waited at a bus stop to work when they were arrested by immigration officials, and two others are US citizens who claim that they were arrested and questioned aggressively despite telling the agents who were citizens. Other organizations, including Agricultural Workers United, also demanded.
Frimpong wrote in the decision of the temporary restriction order that the people who demand “probably managed to demonstrate that the federal government is making itinerant patrols without reasonable suspicions and deny access to lawyers.”
The July 11 restriction order prohibits the arrest of persons unless the officer or agent “reasonable suspected that the person stopped is within the United States in violation of the American immigration law.”
He says that he may not base that suspicion only on the apparent race or ethnicity of a person; the fact that they are speaking Spanish or English with an accent; their presence in a particular place as a bus stop or a collection site of day workers; or the type of work one does.
Los Angeles has been attacked by the Trump administration for immigration raids that the mayor of the city has denounced as a campaign to terrorize residents.
The demand that led to the temporary restriction order was filed against the Secretary of National Security Kristi Noem, the head of immigration and application of customs and others.
Kyle Harvick, the commander of the attached incident of the government’s immigration action in Los Angeles, said that “certain types of businesses, including car washed” were chosen by immigration agents “because past experiences have shown that illegal foreigners use and look for work in these places,” according to judicial appeals.
The Court of Appeals determined that “the four factors listed in question (apparent breed or ethnicity, speaking Spanish or speaking English with an accent, particular location and type of work, even when they are considered together, they describe only a broad profile and” do not demonstrate reasonable suspicions for any particular stop. “
The panel of the Court of Appeals said that the Government did not dispute constitutional problems when trying to suspend the temporary restriction order.
“They did not significantly play the conclusion of the District Court that the exclusive trust of the four factors listed, alone or in combination does not satisfy the constitutional requirement of reasonable suspicions,” wrote the panel of the Court of Appeals.
Mark Rosenbaum, special senior advisor of strategic litigation in the public advisor, which is among the groups that represent the people who demanded, on Friday that the actions of immigration agents in the Los Angeles operation were unconstitutional.
“Today’s ruling sends a powerful message: the government cannot excuse illegal behavior by trusting the racial profile as a tool for immigration application,” Rosenbaum said. “These raids were unconstitutional, without support for evidence and rooted with harmful fear and stereotypes, not public safety.”
The Court of Appeals considered that part of the Temporary Order of Frimpong was vague, related to “except as allowed by law” in the clause about stopping people based on the four factors of race, speaking Spanish, a location or type of work. But otherwise denied the government’s motion for a stay.
The mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, Democrat, described the Court of Appeals that a victory said.
“Today is a victory for the rule of law and for the city of Los Angeles,” he said in a statement. “The temporary restriction order that has been protecting our communities from immigration agents who use racial profiles and other illegal tactics when making their cruel and aggressive application writings and sweeps will remain in force for now.”
Immigration raids launched in Los Angeles in June resulted in great protests in the city, some of which became violent. The Trump administration sent Troops and Marines of the National Guard to Los Angeles in a movement that was sentenced by Bass, the governor of California Gavin Newsom and others.
The National Security Department did not immediately respond to a request for comments on Friday night on the decision of the Court of Appeals.
