The district judge, Kate M. Menendez, had ordered agents not to retaliate against people “engaging in peaceful and unobstructive protest activity,” and not to use pepper spray or other “crowd dispersal tools” in retaliation for protected speech. The judge also said that agents could not stop or detain protesters in vehicles who were not “forcibly obstructing or interfering with” agents.
These are basic constitutional requirements, and all the now-blocked order did was ask ICE go follow the rules they’re supposed to be following to begin with.
