加州总检察长牵头多州联盟提交法庭之友简报：吁维持对科罗拉多无证移民逮捕的限制
加州总检察长办公室（Office of the Attorney General）10月20日在 Oakland 宣布，加州总检察长 Rob Bonta 已提交法庭之友简报，支持挑战联邦移民执法逮捕做法的诉讼。Bonta 与科罗拉多州总检察长 Phil Weiser 共同牵头一个多州联盟，吁请美国第十巡回上诉法院维持下级法院的一项命令：禁止移民与海关执法局（Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE）在没有逮捕令的情况下实施民事移民逮捕，除非执法人员有合理根据相信当事人既正在违反移民法、又有逃跑风险。
联盟由 Bonta 与 Weiser 牵头，成员包括亚利桑那、康涅狄格、特拉华、夏威夷、伊利诺伊、缅因、马里兰、马萨诸塞、密歇根、明尼苏达、内华达、新泽西、新墨西哥、纽约、俄勒冈、罗得岛、佛蒙特、弗吉尼亚、华盛顿等州及哥伦比亚特区的总检察长，共22个州及地区。
简报主张，国会已通过《移民与国籍法》及相关联邦法规，对移民执法人员的无证逮捕权设下明确限制：必须针对具体个人，同时具备可被驱逐与可能逃跑两方面的合理根据。联盟指出，ICE 一再无视这些限制，造成非法逮捕、不当拘留与全国多地执法混乱；这类执法做法还损害各州居民的公共安全、教育、卫生与经济，包括家庭被拆散、工作场所受扰、学校承压、地方经济不安，以及医疗、教育、公共安全等基本州与地方服务受阻。
Bonta 在声明中说：「本届政府试图通过不分青红皂白、大规模且往往毫无根据的移民逮捕，在移民社区中散播恐惧。这违反法律，也违背基本的人性尊严。在加州，我们亲眼目睹了这场破坏性大规模驱逐行动造成的破坏。我们将始终为本州移民社区以及全国各地社区的权利站出来。」
加州总检察长办公室表示，加州已切身体会激进移民执法的后果，包括学校出勤下降、农场运作受影响、公众健康与经济安全受损，以及社区与州、地方执法部门之间的信任流失。此前，边境巡逻队2025年1月在 Kern County 发动「Operation Return to Sender」行动，逮捕78人；2025年6月，国土安全部又在洛杉矶（Los Angeles）发动「Operation at Large」行动。Bonta 已就这两起行动分别向第九巡回上诉法院等法院提交法庭之友简报；本次向第十巡回法院提交的简报，是其支持挑战国土安全部相关执法做法诉讼的延续。
California Attorney General Co-Leads Multistate Brief Urging Court to Keep Limits on Warrantless Immigration Arrests in Colorado
The California Attorney General's Office (Office of the Attorney General) announced in Oakland on October 20 that Attorney General Rob Bonta has filed an amicus brief in support of litigation challenging federal immigration arrest practices. Bonta, co-leading a multistate coalition with Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser, urged the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit to uphold a lower court order prohibiting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from conducting civil immigration arrests without a warrant unless the officer has probable cause that the individual is both violating immigration law and is a flight risk.
Bonta and Weiser lead the attorneys general of Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawai'i, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington and the District of Columbia, a coalition of 22 states and jurisdictions in total.
In the brief, the coalition argues that Congress, through the Immigration and Nationality Act and federal regulations, has placed clear limits on immigration agents' authority to make warrantless arrests, requiring individualized probable cause of both removability and a likelihood of escape. ICE has repeatedly ignored these limits, the coalition says, resulting in unlawful arrests, improper detentions and chaotic enforcement practices across the country. The brief also highlights the harms of these practices to public safety, education, health and the economy of the states' residents: families are destabilized, workplaces disrupted, schools strained, local economies unsettled, and essential state and local services including healthcare, education and public safety are hindered.
"The Trump Administration has sought to instill fear in immigrant communities through indiscriminate, sweeping, and often baseless immigration arrests," Bonta said in the statement. "This violates the law — and basic human decency. In California, we've seen firsthand the devastation wrought by the Trump Administration's destructive mass deportation agenda. We will always stand up for the rights of our immigrant communities and communities across the country."
The Attorney General's Office said California has experienced the harms of aggressive immigration enforcement firsthand, including declines in school attendance, farm operations, public health, economic security, and public trust between communities and state and local law enforcement. Border Patrol's January 2025 "Operation Return to Sender" raid in Kern County resulted in the arrest of 78 people, and in June 2025 the Department of Homeland Security began "Operation at Large" in Los Angeles. Bonta previously filed amicus briefs concerning both operations, including at the Ninth Circuit; the Tenth Circuit brief continues his support for challenges to the Department of Homeland Security's enforcement practices.
