U.S. District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong indicated she will order federal immigration agents to stop making warrantless arrests in Los Angeles without first assessing flight risk. The ruling responds to widespread evidence that agents have conducted sweeps targeting people based on race and appearance, with body camera footage contradicting arrest paperwork. Court records show agents arrested people without asking about community ties, employment, family, or other factors courts have long required to determine flight risk. The ruling would apply to Los Angeles and surrounding areas and would be the fifth federal court nationwide to restrict the administration's warrantless arrest practices.
