Admin Asks High Court to Lift Calif. Immigration Action Restrictions

The Trump administration on Thursday asked the Supreme Court to lift a court order blocking immigration stops a judge found to be indiscriminate in Southern California.

The emergency petition comes after an appeals court refused to lift the temporary restraining order.

Judge Maame E. Frimpong found there was a "mountain of evidence" that federal immigration enforcement tactics were violating the Constitution.

The administration argues her order hinders their enforcement of immigration law.
