A recent immigration enforcement operation conducted by border patrol faces review by a federal judge. The court will consider the lawfulness of the agents’ conduct. Its’ ruling determines whether a lower court’s injunction restricting certain immigration stops remain in effect.

The case centers on a Border Patrol operation in California. The plaintiffs stated border patrol’s tactics amounted to racial profiling and indiscriminate sweep of Latino and Hispanic agricultural workers, regardless of their legal status. Border patrol detained multiple individuals during this operation before a U.S. district judge barred agents from stopping individuals without reasonable suspicion. The appeal now places the lawfulness of these immigration enforcement tactics squarely before the court.
