The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals dealt a stinging blow to the Trump administration’s mass deportation project Friday night in a fiery opinion upholding a lower court’s block on “roving patrols” across much of Southern
California.
“If, as Defendants suggest, they are not conducting stops that lack reasonable
suspicion, they can hardly claim to be irreparably harmed by an injunction aimed
at preventing a subset of stops not supported by reasonable suspicion,” the panel wrote.
The ruling leaves in place a temporary restraining order barring masked and heavily armed agents from snatching people off the streets of Southern California without first establishing reasonable suspicion that they are in the U.S. illegally.
Under the 4th Amendment, reasonable suspicion cannot be based solely on race, ethnicity, language, location or employment, either alone or in combination, U.S. District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong of Los Angeles wrote in her original order.
9th Circuit Judges Marsha S. Berzon, Jennifer Sung and Ronald M. Gould agreed.
“There is no predicate action that the individual plaintiffs would need to take,
other than simply going about their lives, to potentially be subject to the challenged stops,” the opinion said.
Fourth Amendment injunctions are hard to win, experts say. Plaintiffs must show not only that they were hurt, but that they are likely to be hurt again in the same way in the future.

Excellent! Racial profiling is *exactly* what was going on by these ICEstapo criminal thugs. They were snatching people off the street *solely* because they "looked Hispanic." They had no reasonable and *articulable* suspicion that anyone was unlawfully present.
When ICEstapo violates the order, which we know they will, it is essential to put that Nazi whore Noem in jail for contempt. Hopefully, she'll be brutally raped by guards while in jail.
