A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to halt indiscriminate immigration stops and arrests in Southern California.

Earlier on Saturday, Democratic and Republican lawmakers toured Alligator Alcatraz. U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz said the state is abusing human beings at the facility, according to the Associated Press.

Nearly 3,000 people have been arrested since the beginning of June, more than three times the number in previous months this year.

Authorities executed criminal search warrants in Carpinteria and Camarillo, California, on Thursday, the Department of Homeland Security said.

Trump urged immigration agents to use 'whatever means is necessary' to arrest 'THUGS' who attack them, after violent clash in California.

Lawyers and advocates have theories as to why immigration arrests have accelerated in Virginia at a rate more than that of almost any other state.
