U.S. Supreme Court clears federal roads Authorities double immigration Raids in Los Angeles
This could mean numerous arrests in workplaces such as home improvement stores, car washes, manufacturing businesses and other locations.
So, what are your rights after the High Court ruling?
The court ruling itself will not change the basic due process for those arrested by immigration officials.
The dispute is the July decision of the federal judge in Los District Judge Mary Evosi Monsah Frimpong, President Biden’s appointment, Say she found it There is enough evidence that an agent is using race, language, a person’s career or location, such as a car wash, a home depot, exchange meetings or street vendors, forming “reasonable suspicion”, which is the legal standard required to detain someone. Frimpong said that reliance on these factors, whether individually or in combination, does not meet the requirements of the Fourth Amendment.
The American Civil Liberties Union, public legal counsel, other groups and private attorneys filed lawsuits on behalf of several immigration rights groups, with three immigrants picking up at the bus stop and two U.S. citizens, one in custody and one in custody, despite showing the agent’s identity.
The plaintiff is Their complaint Immigration agents turned brown-skinned people on bus stops in Southern California in a home warehouse parking lot to show force without confirming that they violated immigration laws. They claimed that the agents did not determine themselves as required by federal law, but were illegal and had no right to arrest them.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday Grant an emergency appeal And the judge’s order was cancelled, which prohibited “patrols” from snatching people from the streets of Southern California based on their appearance, what language they spoke, what jobs or happens to be.
It is not clear what will happen next. After the ruling, the immigration attacks in Los Angeles slowed down but did not stop completely.
