A Federal Judge orders the government to stop preventing immigration detainees from getting lawyers

A federal judge on Friday ruled that the government is “prohibiting partial access to lawyers” for aliens detained at a downtown Los Angeles facility and ordered them to stop.

The Preliminary Improgentacter refers to a temporary restraining order that US District Judge Maame Ewesi-Mensah Frimpong issued in July, requiring Federal immigration agencies to allow official visits to the lower area seven days a week.

In his appearance this week, Frimpong said that the lawyer who attends B-18 hours, which is in the station under the government building, closed the floor continuously without letting the lawyers know, despite ordering the government to inform them.

“The police insist on keeping the door open when lawyers try to have private conversations with their clients – even though this means that the conversations are no longer confidential,” said Frimpong. “Sometimes officials won’t allow lawyers to meet people who want to work with lawyers – even though it’s not appropriate. And sometimes, people are moved from this place to another place that allows them.”

“And, there again, the court orders the federal government to stop — this time all of these laws.”

Mark Rosebaum, of the public counsel, which helped bring the case, said the court had ‘confirmed that the Constitution does not stop at the doors of the detention center.’

“This is a very important decision, not only because it includes the denial of access to lawyers, but because it takes an important part of ICELL in Los Angeles and does everything possible to get the rights of the race that can go around and can get their dignity and their basic rights in due process,” said Rosenbaum.

Frimpong ordered that legal visitation be allowed seven days a week, at least eight hours a day on business days and four hours a day on weekends and holidays. He also ordered the government to provide private rooms for closed-door discussions between detainees and current and potential lawyers, lawyers and law enforcement officers. ”

Detainees will be given access to confidential phone calls with members of the law enforcement team and those calls “will not be monitored, recorded, or otherwise recorded,” it is written in another way, “documented in another way.”

“NO LEGAL PARTY IS FREE IN THE WORLD OF THE FREE. “All detainees are given adequate opportunity to communicate with their lawyers and family members. Everyone who is arrested gets due process.”

In a hearing last month, Attorney General Jonathan Ross said that “the evidence shows that the detainees on B-18 met with lawyers, they were able to get advice.” He also said that emergency situations – uprising protests against land attacks – changed conditions in the institution, thus affecting the access of clients to lawyers.

“The situation has changed and the situation in the B-18 is now at a high level,” he said, adding that “the government will do the right thing” regardless of the order.

“The court shouldn’t be ordering the government to do what it already is,” Rosse said, adding that those incarcerated “get what the 5th Amendment is.”

The government had asked for a stay and declared the appeal pending, which Frimpong refused.

The American Civil Liberties Union, public advice, other groups and private lawyers filed a lawsuit on behalf of several groups of immigrants to the country, three American immigrants took a seat on the bus and all the parties that showed the power of his identification.

Along with the problems of access, miracles also argued in their complaints that immigration agents have brown-colored structures in the noses of the home in California in the power of the government without obtaining immigration laws. They would say the attorneys did not reveal themselves, as required under federal law, and were wrongfully arrested.

Frimpong previously issued a landmark ruling barring federal agents from using racial profiling to make indiscriminate immigration arrests. The Supreme Court granted an urgent appeal and upheld the order.

Last month, Frimpong was granted summary judgment on a claim that aggravated assault violates the 4th Amendment by following an unreasonable search and seizure. The government will have to produce documents and witnesses to propose 15 attacks, in addition to the general information of the operation.

“I think there’s a feeling that when the Supreme Court offers to stay this case, this case is going to sleep,” said Rosenbaum. “This case is alive and kicking along with the racial and other illegal attacks on the Latino community and the community that will end.”
