Federal judge signals a halt to warrantless immigration arrests in SoCal unless person is likely to escape

A federal judge in California has indicated a potential change in immigration arrest procedures. The judge signaled that immigration agents may be ordered to halt warrantless arrests in Southern California. This possible order would come with an exception, allowing arrests without warrants if the individual is likely to escape.

Further details on this development are available from the Los Angeles Times, which reported on the federal judge's signal on Thursday.
