An accent cannot imply a deportation. It seems pure logical, but justice has had to declare it to try to stop the attempts of President Donald Trump to expel, indiscriminately, migrants from all over the country. After the tensions that California have agitated in recent weeks, and especially in the last 48 hours, with, a judge has issued a singular ruling. For him, he prevents the president from his executing hand, ICE – unions of the immigration and borders forces -, stop and expel people from their skin for their skin, the language they speak, the accent they have or the place where they live or are.
The point is that California – the richest and most populated state, with 40 million inhabitants – has once again become the scene of the clash between the methods of Donald Trump’s administration against migrants and the limits that the Judiciary seeks to impose. A judge of the State Central District, Maame Ewusi-Menah Frimpong, has prohibited the United States Government to realize fingers against undocumented people to give rise to arrests based, simply, on suspicions. That is, those related to race, skin color or language. For now, this rule of the judge will be in force for 10 days, but there are already pressure groups trying to expand it.
The groups in defense of migrants have applauded the decision, and also the main leaders of California, Democratic fief and antitropist par excellence. “Today justice has prevailed,” said Governor Gavin Newsom in a statement. “The Court’s decision puts a temporary brake on the violations of the rights of the people and the elaboration of racial profiles by the immigration officers.” “California is on the side of the law, and of the base for which our founding parents built this country. I claim the Trump administration that does the same,” said the governor, one of the Democrats of. For her part, the mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, said that Frimpong’s decision represents “American values and decency.”
On the other hand, he has shown his “resounding” discrepancy with the judge’s ruling, and has assured that immigration agents have never arrested people “without adequate legal justification.” “Our federal agents will continue to apply the law and comply with the Constitution of the United States,” he said in a shared letter in X.
The Federal Security Department account has joined the complaints of Essayli, and has affirmed that the decision of the magistrate “undermines the will of the American people.” “The brave men and women in the United States are eliminating murderers, members of MS-13 gangs, pedophiles, rapists, truly the worst of the worst of the communities of the golden state,” he said.
A district judge is undermining the will of the American people.
America’s brave men and women are removing murderers, MS-13 gang members, pedophiles, rapists—truly the worst of the worst from Golden State communities.

The decision of magistrate Frimpong responds to a lawsuit made on July 2, which accused the Trump government of launching “indiscriminate operations against migrants”, for which the security forces were making beaten in places such as supermarkets, parking lots, bus stops, farms or car laundry.
For the judge, the arguments used by the federal government to detain migrants are “very general”, and believes that the administration has not succeeded when explaining to the agents how to choose the places where the raids carry out; For example, he has talked about the bus stops, stating that they do not have to be a key point to carry out arrests, beyond the fact that those who are in them are usually low -income people. “Persons with brown skin are addressed or removed by unidentified federal agents, suddenly and with a demonstration of strength, and they are made to answer questions about who they are and where they are,” he explained in his statement, of more than 50 pages, and has assured: “I am not very satisfied.”
Frimpong has also responded to the complaint that many detainees, specifically a federal los Angeles installation called B-18, could not have access to their lawyers. Given that protest, the government threw balls out, ensuring that they were “limitations of the past” and that the situation has “normalized” since the end of June. But the judge does not agree, and believes that there will be “chances that [los demandantes] They are again harmed in the future. ”Hence, the Federal Administration has prohibited the access of lawyers in said center and second in the country.
The decisions of the magistrate suppose a blow to raids that have caused controversies since, and whose greatest exhibition could be observed during the first half of June. Then, after a series of arrests in an establishment of the riots were growing, and for a few days they took the center of Los Angeles until causing the curfew. The great march in protest for Trump’s birthday, which celebrated it in Washington with a military parade ,.
But deportations have not reduced their march. During that month of June, the United States broke its 209 deportation flights. According to data from the Department of National Security, from June 6 to the beginning of this week, that is, in the last month, some 2,800 people without documentation have been arrested. An analysis of the newspaper Los Angeles Times states that seven out of ten
The judge’s ruling occurs just one day after a multitude of agents of the Immigration and Customs Control Service (ICE), a residential and work area located south of California. In that raid, the US authorities arrested about 200 migrants, according to data provided by themselves. In the massive and chaotic raid, where there were tear gas and launches of stones and bricks, a man died due to the damages suffered when he fell from a greenhouse, nine meters high. On Thursday he entered the hospital after breaking his neck and skull, but on Friday, after spending a few hours with assisted ventilation, he finally died.
Thursday’s was one of the many raids that the Government chaired by Donald Trump, which from the electoral campaign promised – along with JD Vance, his current number two – “we can start with a million,” the vice president repeated at that time. That figure would mean about a part of the at least 11 million undocumented people in the country, but it would be an important number compared to the 400,000 annual deportations that were made on average with former president Barack Obama, between 2009 and 2017.
The discontent has reached the Democratic opposition, which last Tuesday came to present a bill to request that in a clear way. In that demand, the legislators Alex Padilla, of California, and Cory Booker, of New Jersey, asked to prevent the use of balaclavas or any element that covers the face of the agents.
