JUST IN: Biden Judge to BLOCK ICE Raids At Home Depots, Car Washes, Etc. In Los Angeles

In yet another insane ruling by a rogue judge, a Biden appointee is now trying to prevent the Trump administration from conducting ICE raids at places in Los Angeles where illegal aliens often gather.

These locations include Home Depots and car washes.

That’s right, this judge wants to make Home Depot an ICE-free safe for illegal immigrants.

In addition, U.S. District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong’s ruling bars agents from making arrests based on race or type of work.

Take a look:

At this time, the judge’s ruling is a tentative decision, which means it could still change.

She intends to issue a final ruling soon, possibly tomorrow.

Judge Frimpong’s full tentative decision has not been made public.

But, Fox News reporter Bill Melugin shared more details of the ruling:

BREAKING: @FoxNews has learned that LA federal judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong (Biden appointee), has written a tentative decision that sides w/ the ACLU & plaintiffs over the Trump administration & will potentially block DHS from carrying out arrests at Home Depots, car washes, etc in the LA area.

Sources who have reviewed Judge Frimpong’s tentative decision tell us her order will block ICE and Border Patrol from relying on race, Spanish speaking, location, and type of work when making immigration arrests.

Additionally, DHS will be blocked from conducting stops of suspected illegal immigrants unless the agent has a reasonable suspicion that there is a violation of immigration law.

The ACLU and a handful of plaintiffs sued the Trump administration, alleging they were doing “deportation dragnets” in LA by making mass arrests that were based only on skin color and race.

The Trump administration DOJ denies this, saying all arrests are in accordance with the law and are based on the totality of the circumstances, including surveillance, intelligence, and locations where illegal immigrants are known to work or be hired.

Judge Frimpong said in court today that her tentative decision is not final, and she can change her mind at any moment. She expects to make her final ruling tomorrow.

But for now, this case is shaping up to be a loss for the Trump administration, which will undoubtedly appeal once it’s finalized.

This ruling will affect the Central District of California (7 SoCal counties).

The ACLU is expected to give a press conference here in downtown LA after today’s court hearing wraps up.

Immigration rights groups and local governments, including the cities of Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Culver, and West Hollywood, have all intervened in the case and Democrat-led states have filed an amicus brief in support of them.

The plaintiffs alleged in court papers that ICE is “indiscriminately” arresting people with “brown skin” at Home Depots, car washes, farms and more. Authorities made the arrests with no “reasonable suspicion” and sometimes mistakenly apprehended U.S. citizens in the process, all in violation of the Fourth Amendment, attorneys wrote.

The plaintiffs argued the Trump administration gave ICE an unrealistic quota of 3,000 arrests per day, causing officers to feel pressured to blow past legal requirements to achieve those numbers.

Meanwhile, the Trump administration is disputing the allegations and denies wrongdoing.

Department of Justice attorneys wrote that immigration arrests, of which there have been nearly 3,000 across California since early June, have been carried out legally.

“Their request that immigration authorities be enjoined from relying on certain factors like occupation and location flies in the face of established law requiring immigration officials to consider the totality of the circumstances, including things like occupation and location,” the attorneys wrote.

This nonsense ruling cannot be allowed to go into effect.

ICE has the right to arrest illegal aliens anywhere on U.S. soil — because they are illegally living in our country without having gone through the legal process to obtain a green card.

It’s literally ICE’s job to arrest them and return them back to their countries. Going to places where they are known to gather is part of that process.

You can’t have ‘safe zones’ for illegal aliens anymore than you can any other crime.

Can you imagine a ‘safe zone’ for theft or murder?

Utterly ridiculous.
