United States District Court Judge Jennifer Thurston, appointed to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California by former President Joe Biden, is blocking Border Patrol Agents across most of California from arresting suspected illegal aliens unless they have a warrant for their arrest.
This week, Thurston issued a preliminary injunction that will prevent Border Patrol agents in California’s eastern district, the largest judicial district in the state, from carrying out arrests of suspected illegal aliens without a warrant and halting such arrests unless agents have a “reasonable suspicion” the suspect is an illegal alien.
“Indeed, the evidence before the Court is that Border Patrol agents under DHS authority engaged in conduct that violated well-established constitutional rights,” Thurston wrote:
Border Patrol is enjoined from conducting detentive stops in this District unless, pre-stop, the detaining agent has reasonable suspicion that the person to be stopped is a noncitizen who is present within the United States in violation of U.S. immigration law, as required by the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution. [Emphasis added]
Border Patrol is enjoined from effecting warrantless arrests in this District unless, pre-arrest, the arresting agent has probable cause to believe that the noncitizen being arrested is likely to escape before a warrant can be obtained, as required by 8 U.S.C. § 1357(a)(2). [Emphasis added]
In addition, Thurston is requiring Border Patrol agents to document “in narrative form” all arrests of illegal aliens made without a warrant with “particularized facts that supported the agent’s reasonable suspicion, which was formed in advance of the stop.”
Border Patrol agents will also be required to hand over “documentation describing Border Patrol’s detentive stops and warrantless arrests within this District” within 60 days of Thurston’s order and every 60 days thereafter.

Note that this judge “controls” >>>> California’s eastern district, the largest judicial district in the state.
So ICE will have more difficulties in that large hunk of California.
So you cannot get arrested at a traffic stop or crime scene without a warrant?
Another one headed for SCOTUS. 🙄
Ignore, proceed.
Special rules just for ICE...
complicit with every robbery, rape and murder made.
complicit.
the ‘judge’ should be forced to give up his/her/it’s
property, children, and freedom now.
Give her SOME credit.

She didn’t make it a nationwide injunction.
Time for a deep federal investigation of the judge. She is a California Liberal...and surely has been legally dishonest once or more in the past 10 years or more.
Isnt that obstruction of justice? Judge needs a visit from FBI/ICE.
The problem is, that it wasn’t ignored.
Pathetic overreach that plays fast and loose with the realities of the Biden-sponsored invasion with which we are currently dealing.
SCOTUS needs to get off the dime and rein in these fools.
Not anymore I guess.
AGAIN, TRUMP MUST IGNORE THE TRAITORS IN THIS COUNTRY AND DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE
Ignore
If they're suspected, it is because there was a suspicion... So the judge is apparently only forbidding unreasonable suspicions? How bold.
Don’t arrest them, put them under “protective custody” for their own safety.
this is done to make ICE uncomfortable doing its job
Nominated for a Social Darwin Award
Did Border officers under Biden have to do this? Of course, not.
