Groups sue to stop Trump administration from using what they call unconstitutional tactics in raids
July 2, 2025
A federal lawsuit accuses President Donald Trump’s administration of systematically targeting brown-skinned people in Southern California during an ongoing immigration crackdown that has put the region “under siege.” The court filing Wednesday in U.S. District Court alleges that federal agents have violently and indiscriminately arrested people without probable cause and held them in “dungeon-like” conditions. The lawsuit asks the court to block the administration’s actions. A spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security says “any claims that individuals have been ‘targeted’ by law enforcement because of their skin color are disgusting and categorically false.”
