As Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong’s ruling rippled across the region, the federal government requested an immediate stay, pending appeal. Here’s what you need to know.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem pushed back against the latest ruling by a federal judge against the Trump administration, vowing that it will be appealed. The ruling orders the administration to halt indiscriminate immigration stops and arrests in seven California counties.

The Trump administration has filed court papers seeking a stay of a Los Angeles federal judge’s orders barring federal agents from detain people without reasonable suspicion beyond their race, ethnicity or occupation.

The Trump administration on Monday asked a federal appeals court to pause a sweeping order from a California judge that required officials to stop making immigration arrests without probable cause in the southern part of the state.

Immigration Matters is a recurring series by César Cuauhtémoc García Hernández that analyzes the court’s immigration docket, highlighting emerging legal questions about new policy and enforcement practices.

The DOJ fired 15 immigration judges last week despite a huge backlog of immigration cases. Immigration advocates are worried this will reduce people's access to due process.

A White House spokesperson told CBS News Los Angeles that the order was a "gross overstep of judicial authority."

The appeal accused a lower court of ignoring the Supreme Court's recent ruling in "Trump v. CASA," which struck down universal injunctions.
