From Breitbart: United States District Court Judge Jennifer Thurston, appointed to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California by former President Joe Biden, is blocking Border Patrol Agents across most of California from arresting suspected illegal aliens unless they have a warrant for their arrest.
This week, Thurston issued a preliminary injunction that will prevent Border Patrol agents in California’s eastern district, the largest judicial district in the state, from carrying out arrests of suspected illegal aliens without a warrant and halting such arrests unless agents have a “reasonable suspicion” the suspect is an illegal alien.
“Indeed, the evidence before the Court is that Border Patrol agents under DHS authority engaged in conduct that violated well-established constitutional rights,” Thurston wrote:
Border Patrol is enjoined from conducting detentive stops in this District unless, pre-stop, the detaining agent has reasonable suspicion that the person to be stopped is a noncitizen who is present within the United States in violation of U.S. immigration law, as required by the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution. [Emphasis added]
Border Patrol is enjoined from effecting warrantless arrests in this District unless, pre-arrest, the arresting agent has probable cause to believe that the noncitizen being arrested is likely to escape before a warrant can be obtained, as required by 8 U.S.C. § 1357(a)(2). [Emphasis added]
The report explains that the ACLU had filed a lawsuit on behalf of the United Farm Workers, after Border Patrol agents reportedly arrested suspected illegal aliens across California in a “week-long sweep.”

ABOUT THIS JUDGE: Judge Jennifer Thurston, 57, is a United States district judge of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. She was nominated by Joe Biden in September 2021 and confirmed by the U.S. Senate on December 17, 2021 in a 46-24 vote. It appears the vote was held during a time when half the Republican senators and some Democrats weren’t even there.
