Lawsuit accuses ICE of illegally arresting Latino immigrants in D.C.

Four D.C. residents and the Maryland-based immigrant rights organization CASA filed a class-action lawsuit against the Trump administration alleging that ICE violated immigration law by systematically arresting people in the District whom they perceived to be Latino without warrants or probable cause. A DHS spokeswoman called the allegations categorically false.
