The government told the district court that it was not profiling. It explicitly said that its court order would not affect ICE's operations at all because it does not rely "solely" on the prohibited factors. In fact, they were lying about this.

When we look at street arrests in LA without criminal charges, convictions, or removal orders, the decline is even more extreme: 83% drop in these types of arrests since July 12. These arrests were previously almost unheard of in LA.
But here's the most horrible thing. Despite the court order in LA, there's been effectively no let-up in these types of profiling arrests nationwide. So ICE was told, "You're violating the Constitution in LA." It craters its operation in LA, but it just doubles down elsewhere!
Here's the line from the district court order, where the district court judge responds to the claim that they aren't solely relying on these factors. The judge was correct to call out the lies! caselaw.findlaw.com/court/us-dis...

Founded by Charles Koch & friends, The Cato Institute is a libertarian think tank... often associated with conservative ideas due to its focus on limited government & free markets, its core philosophy... emphasizes individual liberty & minimal gov't intervention. Libertarians don't like MAGA.
"Libertarians don't like MAGA" P.S. All Russian "Libertarians" are simply pro-Kremlin/MAGA trolls
Zelensky also pretended to be a "Libertarian", but he is using Putin's/KGB's methods now for surviving in power
The Kochs built, funded, and radicalized the conservative base, who are MAGA voters
Yes. The Tea Party was a big part of it. time.com/secret-origi...
Charles Koch's support of Donald Trump is off and on. Right now, his group is suing Trump. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Be careful what you wish for.
Everything else that goes along with trump’s horrible administration is ok by them. But tariffs? Oh man he stepped across the line right there.
That's right.😅
Great work. Thank you
If you can tell, does the L.A. court order seem to coincide with a spike in NYC arrests?

I know issues like this have to be proven for a court - but as soon as it said (and by Homan in interviews) the press should have said that it clearly wasn’t true. It couldn’t have been.
Doesn't necessarily follow that the reduction was entirely the result of the court order. ICE could have been conducting a big campaign then let up to move resources elsewhere.
