The federal government has agreed to new limits on immigration raids as part of a settlement resolving a class action lawsuit. Under the agreement, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents requiring consent to enter a private residence must receive permission in the resident’s spoken language when possible. Agents will also require consent to enter adjoining, private areas and will be barred from conducting sweeps without a reasonable fear of danger. The settlement resolves a six-year-old lawsuit brought by Latino families in New York whose homes were raided without court warrants. As part of the deal, the government agreed to drop deportation efforts against four plaintiffs and delay those against four others.
