Thursday, September 17, 2026
A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction on warrantless immigration arrests in Southern California, restricting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to such arrests only when the target is likely to escape before a warrant can be obtained. The ruling applies to ICE operations in the Southern District of California. The injunction remains in effect pending further court proceedings.
