A federal judge ordered ICE to provide detained immigrants at a Los Angeles facility with guaranteed legal access, citing Fifth Amendment rights violations.
A federal judge in Los Angeles has ordered ICE to provide detainees at the downtown Los Angeles B-18 facility with at least eight hours of daily legal access on weekdays and four on weekends, including private meetings and unmonitored phone calls, ruling that ongoing restrictions violate their Fifth Amendment rights.
The decision follows a lawsuit by advocacy groups alleging that detainees were denied legal counsel during widespread immigration sweeps, faced unannounced transfers, and were held in inadequate conditions.
Despite prior court orders, the judge found continued violations, including delayed closure notifications and lack of private spaces.
The ruling reinforces constitutional protections for detained immigrants and halts the Trump administration’s use of civil rights investigations to pressure universities, blocking threats to cut funding from UCLA and the broader University of California system.
