A raid on a largely Hispanic nightclub last weekend highlighted the wrenching choices mayors face between anti-Trump constituents and federal pressure for police cooperation.
The Trump administration hopes to work with local law enforcement as it tries to reach its goals for mass deportation.
New details deepen questions about the deportations, showing that El Salvador’s president pressed for assurances that the migrants were really members of the Tren de Aragua gang.
Border Patrol agents carried out sweeps in California’s Central Valley. Lawyers argued that people were stopped and arrested based on their skin color.
Lawyers say the families wanted the children to remain in the United States. The Trump administration says the mothers requested the children’s removal. The dispute has constitutional stakes.
The lawsuit seeks to prevent the Trump administration from carrying out operations that disrupt certain civic spaces, particularly those where adults and children congregate together.
Officials said agents found weapons and illicit drugs inside the nightclub, including cocaine, methamphetamine and a mixture of powdered drugs known as pink cocaine.
The children, 4 and 7, were put on a plane with their mother, who was deported. The family’s lawyer said the mother was given no choice but to take her children, which the Trump administration denied.
The four-day operation came as the Trump administration has sought to enlist local authorities in an immigration crackdown.
A federal judge in Louisiana said the deportation of the child to Honduras with her mother, even though her father had filed an emergency petition, appeared to be “illegal and unconstitutional.”
