In California, a federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction barring Border Patrol officers from stopping people without “reasonable suspicion” that they’re undocumented, and preventing them from making warrantless arrests unless they have credible evidence a person is likely to flee. The injunction follows reports that Border Patrol agents carrying out raids in California’s Central Valley rounded up day laborers and farmworkers, regardless of their actual immigration status, rather than fulfilling their mission of arresting immigrants with serious criminal backgrounds.
