U.S. District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong, a judge of Ghanaian descent, has issued a sweeping order halting key Trump-era practices in Los Angeles County, citing constitutional violations and racial profiling.
Judge Frimpong, who presides over the Central District of California, ruled that the use of “roving patrols” by ICE agents without reasonable suspicion violated the Fourth Amendment’s protections against unlawful searches and seizures.
