A judge bars Trump from arresting immigrants in California over racial profiling.

A judge on Friday ordered the Trump administration in Southern California to halt indiscriminate immigration raids in which people are arrested based on racial profiling, such as skin color or language.

Judge Maame Frimpong also issued an order prohibiting the federal government from restricting lawyers' access to a migrant detention center in Los Angeles.

The judge's decision follows a lawsuit filed last week in a California district court by individuals affected by the raids and human rights organizations, alleging that the operations involved multiple constitutional violations and racial profiling.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS ) denies these allegations, calling them "repugnant and categorically false."

The American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California (ACLU SoCal), one of the groups representing the plaintiffs, said in a statement that the judge's order "prohibits immigration agents from detaining individuals without reasonable suspicion."

It also prohibits arrests based on factors such as race or ethnicity, speaking Spanish or English with an accent, type of employment, and presence in certain locations such as bus stations, car washes, or farms.

The second "directs DHS to provide access to counsel on weekdays, weekends, and holidays to individuals detained at B-18, the federal building in downtown Los Angeles ."

Immigration raids in the Los Angeles metropolitan area began a month ago and have generated strong social rejection and even violent clashes with agents, turning California into a symbol of resistance against the Trump administration .

The lawsuit was prompted by masked men wearing only vests with Border Patrol badges on them, who violently detained several workers on June 22, as captured in viral videos.

One of the owners of the establishment, identified as Enmanuel , reported that the alleged agents forcibly entered areas restricted to the public, such as the tunnels where the machinery is located, and confirmed that excessive force was used in the arrests.

Multiple testimonies from the detainees' families agreed that they were being held incommunicado and that the arrests were based on racial profiling.

"Regardless of the color of their skin, the language they speak, or where they work, everyone is guaranteed constitutional rights that protect them from unlawful detention," said Mohammad Tajsar, senior staff attorney for the ACLU SoCal Foundation, after the judge's decision was announced.
