Federal Judge Restricts Warrantless Immigration Arrests in Oregon Without Escape Risk
A US federal judge issued a preliminary injunction preventing immigration agents in Oregon from making warrantless arrests unless there is a clear risk of escape. The ruling responds to a class-action lawsuit challenging the Department of Homeland Security's practice of arresting immigrants during enforcement operations without warrants or assessing flight risk. Testimony highlighted cases like Victor Cruz Gamez, detained despite valid permits. The judge criticized agents' conduct as exceeding administrative enforcement and expressed concern over reported use of force and warrantless entries.
