A federal judge in Los Angeles is trying to shut down ICE enforcement of the nation’s popular immigration laws on the claim that it is illegally “profiling” people in California.
Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong, of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, issued two restraining orders late on Friday. Frimpong was nominated by President Joe Biden and is the daughter of two immigrants from Ghana. She was selected by both Harvard and Yale universities.
“No federal judge has the authority to dictate immigration policy — that authority rests with Congress and the President,” responded Abigail Jackson, a White House spokeswoman. She added:
Enforcement operations require careful planning and execution; skills far beyond the purview or jurisdiction of any judge.
