Judge orders Trump to stop Californian immigration raids
A federal judge in Los Angeles has issued a temporary order preventing the Trump administration from making immigration arrests based on race or language and from denying detainees access to legal counsel. The ruling, which impacts seven Southern California counties including Los Angeles, comes amid increasing tensions and protests related to immigration enforcement in the region. The Department of Homeland Security criticized the decision, arguing it undermines the will of the American people, while advocates say it protects due process and constitutional rights. The White House has indicated it will challenge the order. Recent polls show shifting public opinion, with fewer Americans now supporting decreased immigration compared to the previous year.
