The Trump administration suffered another blow to its mass deportation agenda on Friday after an appeals court upheld a lower court’s ruling that prevents Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from detaining a person based on their appearance, native language, or job.
A three-judge panel on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in Los Angeles said the plaintiffs, a cohort of five individuals and three immigration advocacy organizations, were likely to succeed on their claim that ICE agents violated the Fourth Amendment by relying on four factors to form reasonable suspicion to support detention stops.
