Federal judge blocks warrantless ICE arrests without fleeing risk

A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction on Wednesday barring federal immigration officers from making warrantless arrests without determining that a person represents a risk of escaping or fleeing. The ruling came after Innovation Law Lab lawyers presented videos in court, including footage of a November immigration stop involving a Cottage Grove woman who holds a permanent residence card and works as a Spanish interpreter for local police.
