ICE Officers in LA Barred From Impersonating Local Police in Home Arrests
Federal immigration officers in Southern California are now barred from posing as local police or using other deceptive tactics to conduct home arrests, under a court settlement approved this week in a class-action lawsuit challenging U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE's) practices.
U.S. District Judge Otis Wright on Aug. 4 granted final approval of a settlement agreement in a case filed in 2020 by a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status recipient and two advocacy groups—the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA) and the Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice (ICIJ).
