A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to cease its ongoing immigration raids in California. The decision comes after recent high-profile operations at locations such as a cannabis farm in Camarillo, where federal agents used tear gas and smoke bombs to disperse crowds, resulting in clashes with protesters and reports of gunfire directed at officers. The Department of Homeland Security stated that the raids were conducted with search warrants and led to the rescue of at least 10 migrant children and the arrest of 200 individuals described as 'illegal aliens.' However, the operations have been met with strong criticism from local officials, including the mayor of Los Angeles, and have raised fears among Latino communities about the broad targeting of individuals regardless of citizenship status.
