Appeals Court Poised to Uphold Block on Immigration Raids | JQJO

A US appeals court is likely to uphold a lower court's decision blocking aggressive immigration raids in Southern California. Judges questioned the Trump administration's justification for seemingly indiscriminate sweeps by ICE agents, arguing they violated the 4th Amendment's protection against unreasonable searches and seizures. The administration argued the injunction was a “wholesale judicial usurpation” and hampered lawful arrests, while the ACLU countered that ICE agents operate with a tacit policy of ignoring reasonable suspicion. A ruling is expected soon, with a potential Supreme Court appeal.
