A federal judge with the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California issued a preliminary injunction to block the U.S. government from conducting warrantless civil immigration arrests in the district unless the arrestee is deemed likely to escape before a warrant can be procured.
"Defendants are enjoined from enforcing their policy and practice of making warrantless civil immigration arrests in this District without a prearrest individualized determination by the arresting agent or officer of probable cause that the person being arrested is likely to escape before a warrant can be obtained, as required by 8 U.S.C. 1357(a)(2) and 8 C.F.R. § 287.8(c)(2)," the order signed by U.S. District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong reads, in part.
Frimpong was nominated by former President Joe Biden during his White House tenure.
"Mere presence within the United States in violation of United States immigration law is not, by itself, sufficient to conclude that a person is likely to escape before a warrant for arrest can be obtained," the judge's order notes.
The U.S. District Court for the Central District of California encompasses the following counties: Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties.
"This ruling is one of the most important decisions to date in the community’s effort to end the federal government’s cruel and illegal practice of abducting people and separating them from their families," ACLU Foundation of Southern California senior staff attorney Mayra Joachin declared in a statement.
"By requiring immigration agents to follow the law’s requirement to make escape risk determinations before they can arrest someone without a warrant, this court order should put an end to hundreds — if not more — of unlawful arrests that continue throughout Southern California.

First of all, the more ridiculous the decision the more you know it was made by a woman. Secondly, why is the American Civil Liberties Union worried about people who are not Americans?

Oops. Internet is lagging.
How many times does this crap have to get slapped down by higher courts?

so how do you determine there is a likely hood to escape?
Having said this, I am in the process of challenging a non sense, no reason for it warrant by a city inspector. I hurt his little ego. The system does get abused. Judges don’t think about the warrants, they just sign them.
you can say THAT again!
