Eight LA County Cities Sue Trump Administration Over ICE Raids

News summary

Los Angeles County and eight cities, including Los Angeles, Pasadena, and West Hollywood, have joined a lawsuit against President Donald Trump's administration challenging recent immigration raids as unconstitutional and harmful to public safety. The lawsuit accuses federal agencies like ICE and CBP of violating the Fourth and Fifth Amendments by conducting warrantless arrests, failing to identify themselves, and racially profiling individuals, often using excessive force. Local officials, including LA City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto and Mayor Karen Bass, condemned the militarized federal tactics, highlighting incidents such as heavily armed agents descending on MacArthur Park and disrupting community activities without making arrests. The plaintiffs seek court injunctions to end these practices and relief for economic damages resulting from the raids, arguing that the actions have instilled fear and disrupted immigrant communities. Attorney General Rob Bonta and other state officials have also joined efforts to block these enforcement operations, describing them as part of a broader pattern of fearmongering by the Trump administration. The coordinated legal challenge represents a significant pushback from local governments and civil rights groups against federal immigration enforcement strategies in Southern California.
