A federal judge in California has issued two temporary restraining orders against the Trump administration, halting a broad range of immigration enforcement activities conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in several southern California counties.
The ruling has just been issued. A communist judge in LA has ordered ICE to report directly to her and radical left NGOs — not the president. This is another act of insurrection against the United States and its sovereign people. https://t.co/pkEjl7lEP4

The ruling comes as ICE operations in the region enter their second month.
The orders, issued Friday by U.S. District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong of the Central District of California, were in response to a lawsuit filed by several immigration advocacy organizations.
The groups allege that federal immigration officers engaged in racial profiling and denied detainees access to legal representation during recent enforcement actions.
Judge Frimpong’s ruling temporarily blocks ICE and other federal agencies operating in Los Angeles County and surrounding areas from conducting what the court deemed “indiscriminate” arrests.

Additionally, the ruling mandates that all detainees must be given access to legal counsel during immigration enforcement proceedings.

In her written opinion, Judge Frimpong stated, “What the federal government would have this Court believe — in the face of a mountain of evidence presented in this case — is that none of this is actually happening.”
Officials from ICE have also not publicly commented on the court order. According to sources familiar with the matter, the administration is preparing a legal response and will likely move to have the temporary restraining orders overturned in the coming weeks.
The court’s decision stems from a legal complaint filed last week by several immigrant rights groups that have objected to the scope and conduct of ICE raids throughout the Los Angeles area.
The operations have included the deployment of hundreds of federal agents, and the advocacy groups allege that the raids have disproportionately targeted specific communities without proper legal safeguards.
Judge Frimpong’s ruling temporarily suspends any federal immigration enforcement activity in the area that does not comply with the court’s directives on due process and non-discrimination.
The temporary restraining orders are expected to remain in place until a full evidentiary hearing can be held.
BREAKING: As we reported last night, LA federal judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong has now made her tentative order final, and is blocking the Trump administration, effective immediately, from carrying out some of the more controversial aspects of its immigration sweeps in LA. 👇🏻 https://t.co/g8cFNPehlj

The Trump administration has emphasized that the immigration enforcement operations in southern California are focused on identifying and removing individuals who are unlawfully present in the United States, particularly those with criminal records or final removal orders.
The Department of Homeland Security has not issued a new statement since the court ruling but previously defended the legality and necessity of the actions taken by federal agents in recent weeks.
The judge’s order follows a growing pattern of legal challenges against federal immigration enforcement efforts in sanctuary jurisdictions.
California, and particularly Los Angeles County, has frequently clashed with federal authorities over immigration policy and the state’s refusal to cooperate with certain ICE detainer requests.
The federal court’s temporary block on ICE activity in the area is the latest in a series of legal battles over the limits of federal immigration enforcement and local protections for illegal aliens.
Another insane ruling by another Democrat activist judge.
Biden LA District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong ordered ICE to stop “racially discriminating” with “roving” teams.
