Immigrant rights groups challenge DHS warrantless arrests in LA federal court
Jun 9, 2026 · Los Angeles, CA

Three immigrant-rights organizations filed a motion in Los Angeles federal court seeking to halt the government's practice of warrantless arrests as part of the Trump administration's deportation policy. The plaintiffs argue that DHS agents conduct arrests without establishing that individuals are likely to escape before a warrant can be obtained, violating federal law. Courts in Colorado, Illinois, and Washington D.C. have previously blocked similar arrest practices.
