The ACLU of California has filed a class-action lawsuit against DHS demanding an immediate halt to what it describes as unlawful ICE raids across the Los Angeles area targeting migrants with "brown skin.

The temporary restraining order blocks sweeping immigration raids in seven California counties, including Los Angeles and Ventura Counties.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass announced Tuesday that the city will join a lawsuit against the Trump administration intended to stop federal immigration raids.

Eight cities across LA County joined a lawsuit against the Trump administration, claiming federal agents' tactics are unconstitutional and instill fear rather than protect the public.

The plaintiffs say ICE's practice of arresting people without a warrant and holding them without determining whether or not they are a flight risk is illegal.

Trump called National Guard troops and U.S. Marines into Los Angeles in June in response to protests against the immigration raids, marking an extraordinary use of military force to support civilian police operations within the United States. The raids are part of the Republican president's hardline approach toward immigration.
