Judge blocks ICE warrantless arrests in Oregon unless flight risk shown

U.S. District Judge Mustafa Kasubhai issued a preliminary injunction blocking the Department of Homeland Security from making warrantless arrests of noncitizens in Oregon immigration sweeps unless individualized determination of flight risk is made. The ruling, which includes testimony from plaintiff Victor Cruz Gamez, a 56-year-old who has been in the U.S. since 1999, puts Oregon in line with similar court decisions in Colorado and Washington, D.C., and addresses concerns about violent enforcement actions and due process violations during the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.
