Ninth Circuit Court Allows Border Patrol to Continue Raids

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has lifted an injunction that previously blocked border patrol agents from conducting raids in California. The injunction, imposed by a Biden-appointed judge, had prohibited detentions without reasonable suspicion. The appeals court panel ruled that the agricultural workers’ union lacked standing to seek prospective injunctive relief, as they did not sufficiently demonstrate impending future injury.
