Welp, here's another order that the Trump team will likely ignore:
California bringing its best judges to the table!
More from Fox News:
U.S. District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston ruled on Tuesday that Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents in the Eastern District of California cannot stop illegal immigrants without reasonable suspicion, or deport them via 'voluntary departure,' unless that person is explained their rights and agrees to leave, according to a report from The Associated Press.
The decision comes after dozens of people were arrested in January during Border Patrol's 'Operation Return to Sender.'
This was in response to an ACLU lawsuit against DHS Sec. Kristi Noem and Border Patrol officials. The lawsuit claims Border Patrol agents indiscriminately arrested those who looked to be farmworkers over a weeklong period back in January.
Detainees were allegedly taken by bus to the border, held without being able to communicate with family or legal representation, and forced to sign documents that stated they waived their right to see an immigration judge and voluntarily agreed to leave the U.S., the ACLU said.
So now, until this lawsuit is resolved, Border Patrol will have to submit a report every 60 days showing who is being arrested or held and why.
And get a load of this next part:
CBP claimed Thurston did not have jurisdiction to make the ruling, but said it wouldn't matter if she did because the agency had already issued new guidance and training to its agents, 'detailing exactly when people may be stopped or arrested without warrants, and what rights detainees have after their arrest,' according to the report.
