ACLU sues to block ICE raids in Southern California, alleging constitutional violations

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of California has filed a class-action lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) demanding an immediate halt to what it describes as unlawful immigration raids across the Los Angeles area targeting migrants with "brown skin." The non-profit accuses Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) of carrying out unconstitutional raids and then keeping migrants in inhumane conditions without beds and deprived of food and legal counsel. Homeland Security has denied all the claims in the lawsuit, saying that any accusations of racial profiling are "disgusting and categorically false." ICE has carried out sweeping raids since June 6, arresting around 1,500 immigrants, including Latino day laborers, car wash workers, farmworkers and vendors – all in a bid to meet certain arrest quotas, the habeas petition states. Ice Flips Script On Los Angeles Mayor After Telling Authorities To 'Go Home' "The raids in this district follow a common, systematic pattern. Individuals with brown skin are approached or pulled aside by unidentified federal agents, suddenly and with a show of force and made to answer questions about who they are and where they are from," the lawsuit reads. "If they hesitate, attempt to leave, or do not answer the questions to the satisfaction of the agents, they are detained, sometimes tackled, handcuffed, and/or taken into custody. In these interactions, agents typically have no prior information about the individual and no warrant of any kind." Read On The Fox News App The lawsuit accuses the federal government of keeping detainees at an overcrowded holding facility, referred to as "B-18," inside windowless rooms that are extremely cramped. "In these dungeon-like facilities, conditions are deplorable and unconstitutional," the lawsuit reads. La Mayor Bass Claims Immigration Enforcement Creating Ghost Town Effect Comparable To Covid Lockdowns As well as seeking to block the raids, the suit demands that ICE refrain from using the B-18 center, as it is supposed to be a short-term ICE processing site, and that the federal government be held legally accountable for systemic racial profiling and due process violations. The defendants include Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons, Attorney General Pam Bondi and multiple regional ICE, CBP, and FBI officials operating in Los Angeles. The lawsuit was filed by a coalition of individual immigrants and immigrant advocacy organizations, led by the ACLU and the non-profit Public Counsel as well as other legal partners. Los Angeles has become a battleground in resisting President Donald Trump's election promise of carrying out the largest deportation raids in U.S. history. Protests in the City of Angels last month descended into riots as masked agitators burned driverless cars, damaged other property and threw rocks at moving law enforcement vehicles. The lawsuit comes as an estimated 150 to 200 anti-ICE protesters shut down the Sixth Street Bridge in Los Angeles on Tuesday afternoon. The bridge links downtown Los Angeles and Boyle Heights early. The protesters carried signs with messages reading: "Sick of ICE!" and "Eviction moratorium now!" while others chanted "ICE out of L.A." "This bridge has been the entry to Boyle Heights to kidnap community members and take them who knows where," organizer Christian Alcaraz told Fox 11. The protest was one of several rallies in the county on Tuesday as part of a day of action against immigration raids. In Koreatown, another rally was held. Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin refuted the claims made in the lawsuit. "Any claims that individuals have been 'targeted' by law enforcement because of their skin color are disgusting and categorically false," she told Fox 11 via a statement on Wednesday, adding that the lawsuit's claims were "garbage." She also denied the claims about poor conditions at ICE facilities. "Any claim that there are subprime conditions at ICE detention centers are false," McLaughlin said. "In fact, ICE has higher detention standards than most US prisons that hold actual US citizens. All detainees are provided with proper meals, medical treatment, and have opportunities to communicate with lawyers and their family members."Original article source: ACLU sues to block ICE raids in Southern California, alleging constitutional violations

FHP investigation temporarily shuts down southbound I-95 in Miami, causing traffic backups during heavy rain

A Florida Highway Patrol investigation has temporarily shut down southbound Interstate 95 at Northwest 8th Street in Miami late Thursday morning, causing traffic backups during heavy downpours.

Dems drag rep from camera view after she dozed off during Hakeem Jeffries' grandstanding speech

What a snooze. Democrats were forced to tap out one of their own members during House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries' 'magic minute' grandstanding speech to delay passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act — after she kept dozing off. Seated two rows behind Jeffries (D-NY) for his final stand against the GOP megabill was Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio) in prime view for the C-SPAN cameras, but the 79-year-old kept nodding off. Jeffries (D-NY) had taken to the House floor to stall Republicans around 4:53 a.m. after the lower chamber worked through the night. About an hour and a half later, a Democrat tapped Kaptur on the shoulder and Rep. Sarah McBride (D-Del.) took her seat. Almost all of the House Republicans had left the chamber for Jeffries' speech, which was intended to stall for as long as possible. 3 Rep. Marcy Kaptur looked exhausted as the House went through an all-nighter to consider the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. C-SPAN 3 The Ohio rep has served in Congress since 1983 and is one of five House Democrats from the Buckeye State. CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty Images Democrats made sure to have enough members around Jeffries in plain view for the public to see. GOP leadership kept the House in session all through the night Wednesday into Thursday as it scrambled to get enough of its ultra-slim majority onboard to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Some lawmakers had snuck off to their offices or other spaces to get a little shut-eye, while others attempted to power through the marathon session. A little after 3 a.m. Republicans managed to break through a procedural deadlock after four holdouts acquiesced. Following a brief debate, Jeffries tapped into his 'magic minute,' which gives party leaders in the House the ability to address the chamber as long as they wish. Jeffries read through various letters from constituents conveying their fears about the Medicaid and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) reforms in the megabill. The top Democrat also ran through GOP criticism of the legislative bundle in a bid to maximize the delay. Republicans had faced a bruising process to get President Trump's marquee legislative agenda package across the finish line, having mounted an aggressive pressure campaign against members and working through the various competing interests within their caucus. 3 Democrats were keen on ensuring good optics during Hakeem Jeffries' final stand against the GOP megabill. C-SPAN In May, multiple committees pulled all-nighters, and several lawmakers went viral for dozing off while working through key components of the mammoth bill. Earlier this week, the Senate worked through the night as well so that Republicans could sort through their differences and finish modifying the megabill. GOP leaders had set a goal of getting the One Big Beautiful Bill Act to Trump's desk by the Fourth of July. They leveraged the fast-approaching holiday and long hours to maximize pressure on their members to put aside their reservations and back the megabill.
