The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday maintained a Los Angeles federal judge's ruling that prevents federal immigration agents from detaining someone based on their spoken language or line of work.
The appeals court said a portion of U.S. District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong's July 11 temporary restraining order that included the language "except as permitted by law" was not specific enough, according to NBC News.
"Defendants, however, are not likely to succeed on their remaining arguments," the court determined.
The restraining order was issued after a lawsuit was filed by individuals claiming they had been detained by immigration officers without a valid reason.

"Senate Majority Leader John Thune on Friday told reporters that he would keep the upper chamber in session at least through the weekend in order to confirm some of President Donald Trump's outstanding nominees.
The move comes amid heightened tension over the confirmation process, with Senate Democrats slow-walking all the remaining nominees by demanding time-consuming votes on each person.
Trump has pushed the Senate to remain in session instead of breaking for their traditional August recess, including Thursday when he reminded senators that his nominees should not be "forced to wait" longer to be confirmed.
Thune said he would keep the Senate in session at least this weekend to work on the confirmations and to negotiate with Democrats to speed up consideration of dozens of nominees. However, he said some of the negotiations will be done between the White House and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
“That will be up to the discussions between White House and Schumer and the Democrats,” Thune said. “That’s how this is going to get resolved. We’ll see where that leads.”

"Right before leaving for its week-long August recess, the U.S. Senate passed a minibus Friday evening containing three out of the 12 annual government funding bills.
The package allocates nearly $900 billion for military construction and Veterans Affairs, $27 billion for agriculture and rural development, and $2.2 billion for the Legislative branch. More than 80 senators ultimately voted for the minibus.
Appropriations bills are typically passed individually. The unorthodox move is the result of Republican leaders spending days negotiating with uncooperative Democrats, who stalled on confirming the rest of President Donald Trump’s civilian nominees and by doing so prevented progress on the funding appropriations process.
Although Republicans originally planned to craft and pass all 12 government funding bills soon after the One Big Beautiful Bill Act became law, the immediate introduction of a controversial $9 billion rescissions bill caused weeks of delay."

"The Trump Justice Department has launched a nationwide effort to clean up voter rolls ahead of the 2026 elections, pushing states to purge duplicate and outdated registrations and catch any non-citizens or illegal aliens who slipped into a position to vote, officials told Just the News on Saturday.
Notifications have gone out to several states and localities that DOJ's Civil Rights Division has been concerned aren't complying with federal laws, including California, Wisconsin, Utah and New Hampshire.
"Unlike the previous administration, at President Trump’s DOJ, we will fight to have fair and secure elections - and that begins with making our voter rolls accurate," Attorney General Pam Bondi told Just the News.
The integrity of voter rolls has been a major focus of conservative election integrity lawyers as a growing number of states report they have found small numbers of non-citizens slipping onto their rolls. For instance, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton last month announced a probe into over 100 potential noncitizens who cast over 200 ballots in prior elections.
In addition, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and FBI Director Kash Patel recently declassified documents showing the bureau failed to fully investigate intelligence that Communist China sought to hijack the 2020 presidential election with a potential mail-in ballot scheme to assist then-Democratic nominee Joe Biden."
