U.S. District Judge Mustafa Kasubhai issued a written preliminary injunction in a proposed nationwide class action barring ICE from making warrantless civil immigration arrests in Oregon unless agents have an administrative warrant or make a case‑specific finding that the person is likely to flee before a warrant can be obtained. The order, prompted by testimony from plaintiff Victor Cruz Gamez and criticized by Kasubhai as reflecting “violent and brutal” tactics (after which a federal lawyer apologized in court), follows similar injunctions in Colorado and Washington, D.C., that are currently on appeal.
