Dear Vickie,

Over a year ago, farm workers across Southern California endured weeks of illegal, racist raids. The UFW–on behalf of farm workers–and our partners fought back.

Yesterday we won a preliminary injunction in Vasquez Perdomo v. Mullin against the Trump Administration’s DHS/ICE which prevents them from making arrests without a warrant without properly evaluating community ties and other important factors.

and Coachella, this ruling will help defend the rights of every 
worker. 

We are continuing the work on separate, but similar cases covering the Central Valley and Southern CA. The next hearing for the Southern California case is next week, Thursday 9/24 and we are seeking to limit suspicion-less stops, even if they don't end in arrest. This has often been summarized as the racial profiling portion of this lawsuit.

We wanted to share the press release and news articles about this with you so you know the latest in the legal battle we’re waging to protect farm workers and other immigrants. The full press release can be seen below. In addition, you can read some of the news stories and the official order here:

Thank you for caring and helping us wage this very important fight.
