District Court Enjoins ICE from Issuing Detainers Based on Error-Filled Databases

The U.S. District Court for the Central District of California issued a permanent injunction enjoining ICE from issuing detainers to state and local law enforcement agencies in states where there is no explicit state statute authorizing civil immigration arrests on detainers, and also enjoining ICE from issuing detainers based solely on database searches that rely upon information from sources that lack sufficient indicia of reliability for a probable cause determination for removal. (Gonzalez, et al. v. ICE, et al., 9/27/19).
