A federal judge on Friday ordered the Trump administration to temporarily halt immigration raids in Los Angeles and several other counties in California, after ruling in favor of the American Civil Liberties Union's civil rights lawsuit.

"As required by the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution, Defendants shall be enjoined from conducting detentive stops in this District unless the agent or officer has reasonable suspicion that the person to be stopped is within the United States in violation of U.S. immigration law," U.S. District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong wrote in her ruling.

IIRC, border agents do have some expanded authority within a certain distance of the border, and that might affect some of California, but not Los Angeles.

Ahhh. Apparently water borders count. Doesn't need to be a land border.

Agents are granted by federal law the ability to stop and question people within 100 miles (161 kilometers) of the border, including the coasts. They have heightened authority to board and search buses, trains and vessels without a warrant within the zone.

That encompasses vast swaths of the country that include about two-thirds of the U.S. population, according to the American Civil Liberties Union. Los Angeles is well within 100 miles of the Pacific Ocean.

Last I remember, airports are also treated as borders. I cannot remember if it was all airports, which Im sure it is, or just international airports. Why wouldnt it be every airport?

I think it’s just intentional but it’s still ridiculous. What percentage of people do not live within 100 miles of a border, coast, or international airport? The number is not large.

Has to be in single digits.

Yes, but they still need to have reasonable suspicion to do so. They can't just sweep an area and pick up every brown person they think might be in the country illegally. Outside of an official border crossing they need to be looking for specific individuals.

Just like police have the ability to pull over a driver, but they can't just do it because they feel like it. Without reasonable suspicion it's an illegal stop.

They can, but nobody is required to answer any questions they ask.

Water could be considered a border to maga

Not just MAGA. Coasts count.

Uh oh, they might come from the sky, I guess we gotta put ICE everywhere

You’re joking but this is more or less the law with minor exceptions. Basically everywhere near an airport is covered so it’s mostly remote areas that are not.

Edit: or maybe I misremembered? I can’t find anything on the airports.

ICE does not need to be watching for parachuting immigrants.

And any international airport, since they're a port of entry.
