Another day, another low level judge who thinks that they should be in charge of the entire country.
But at least this time it's somewhat localized to SoCal as a Ninth Circuit Court judge has put a stop to immigration raids performed by ICE.
From KTLA 5:
The ruling keeps in effect a temporary restraining order (TRO) issued by a lower court in July, which prohibits DHS and other federal immigration agents from stopping individuals based solely on race, language, location, or type of work. Specifically, the court found that using factors such as speaking Spanish or English with an accent, being present in places like agricultural sites or bus stops, or working in industries commonly associated with immigrant labor did not amount to reasonable suspicion under the law.
Yes, under this ruling ICE is not allowed to go to places where they are likely to find illegal aliens and identify them using factors like language and accent which, obviously, would help identify illegal immigrants.
The ruling makes it impossible for federal agents to do their job and that's the point.
Teresa Romero, president of the United Farm Workers, framed the decision as a win for immigrant laborers. 'You can't just snatch people up for being brown and working hard. Not in the fields, not in a Home Depot parking lot, and not on our watch,' she said.
Sounds like the state's commitment to low wage labor is greater than anyone would have imagined.
Lindsay Toczylowski, president and CEO of the Immigrant Defenders Law Center, said the ruling 'reaffirms that nobody is above the law — not even the federal government.'
Lindsay, these are 2024 talking points! It's 2025!
Apparently, when Toczylowski says "nobody is above the law" what she really means is that anyone who entered the country illegally is above the law.
Also, district judges are the real rulers of the land and whatever they say goes!
