Judge bars Trump administration from 'indiscriminately' detaining immigrants
A federal judge has barred the Trump administration from 'indiscriminately' detaining immigrants in the US. The decision came after a lawsuit filed by three immigrants and two US citizens who were held by immigration officials. Judge Frimpong's order prevents immigration officials from denying individuals access to lawyers and prohibits arrests based solely on factors like race, ethnicity, or location. The ruling comes amid increased immigration enforcement efforts by the Trump administration, particularly in California, and follows widespread protests over recent immigration raids in the state.
