The Trump administration appeals a court order limiting race-based immigration arrests in the Los Angeles area, citing its authority in enforcement.
The Trump administration is appealing a court order that places restrictions on immigration arrests based on race within the Los Angeles area. This legal challenge arises from allegations of discriminatory practices in immigration enforcement.
The administration maintains its authority in matters of immigration enforcement, arguing against the limitations imposed by the court's ruling. The appeal seeks to overturn the order, allowing for broader discretion in arrest procedures.
The administration's primary argument centers on its perceived constitutional right to enforce immigration laws without undue judicial interference. Opponents of the appeal claim that race-based arrests violate principles of equal protection under the law.
