The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday rejected the Trump administration's request for an emergency stay of a federal injunction restricting federal immigration agents from targeting migrants in Southern California based on characteristics such as ethnicity or language.

The three-judge panel issued a unanimous ruling that maintains the restraints on federal agents during immigration raids in the Los Angeles area.

The limitations include prohibiting targeting people based on their ethnicity, accent, language or location, including being at a Home Depot or a car wash.

The ruling requires federal agents to have more specific probable cause to make an arrest instead of generalized suspicion about a person's citizenship status.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass celebrated the court's decision as "a victory for the rule of law and for the City of Los Angeles."

"The Temporary Restraining Order that has been protecting our communities from immigration agents using racial profiling and other illegal tactics when conducting their cruel and aggressive enforcement raids and sweeps will remain in place for now," Bass said in a statement.

"We must still fight for justice," she continued. "Los Angeles will stand together against this Administration’s efforts to break up families who contribute every single day to the life, the culture and the economy of our great city. No matter what, I will continue to stand by you and fight for your rights, your dignity and your place in this city we all call home."

This comes after recent raids in the Los Angeles area targeted illegal immigrants working at local businesses, sparking weeks of unrest over immigration arrests and the administration's mass deportation efforts.

About 4,000 National Guard soldiers and 700 Marines were deployed to Los Angeles to gain control over the protests despite opposition from state and local leaders. At this point, most of the National Guard troops and all the Marines have since been withdrawn.

The administration was sued last month over alleged "unlawful stop-and-arrest practices" and "illegal conditions of confinement." A federal judge then issued two temporary restraining orders, including one to stop generalized raids based on the idea that many Spanish-speaking Hispanics are known to be in a certain location.

Lawyers for the administration filed an emergency appeal asking the court to temporarily pause the injunction as it would cause "irreparable harm" and put immigration officials in a "straitjacket." The appeal was denied in court on Friday.

During arguments, one of the judges repeatedly asked the lawyer for the government about a reported 3,000 daily quota for immigration-related arrests — a quota policy the lawyer claims does not exist — in reference to comments made by White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller during an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity in May.

"Under President Trump’s leadership, we are looking to set a goal of a minimum of 3,000 arrests for ICE every day, and President Trump is going to keep pushing to get that number up higher each and every single day," Miller said at the time.

Comedian Bill Maher sparred Friday with one of his guests, Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo., when the lawmaker dismissed criticism of New York City’s Democratic socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani as a "contrived villain or boogeyman."

"He’s not contrived. He’s gonna be the mayor of New York," Maher argued.

The late-night show host cited Mamdani's "Marxist" positions, such as the "abolition of private property," after he declared that the Big Apple has "never had someone this radical."

"There’s a lot of opposition [to Mamdani] because we’ve never had someone this radical," Maher warned. "Some of the things he says, you know he quotes Marxists, ‘each according to their need.’ I mean, that’s straight up Communism."

Meanwhile, Rep. Crow maintained that a "boogeyman" like Mamdani comes around every election cycle for Republicans.

"They always try to create a villain is my point," he said. "They always try to create some boogeyman or bogeywoman."

"No, these are quotes. I’m not creating anything, I’m quoting [Mamdani]," Maher debated.

The comedian’s second guest, columnist James Kirchick, did not hesitate to chime in about the criticism Mamdani has received from conservatives. 

"Everything that the crazy far-right alleged about Obama – wasn’t born in America, Islamist, socialist, antisemite, hates America, it’s all true about this guy [Mamdani]," Kirchick claimed.

Kirchick went on to describe what he finds the "most appalling" about Mamdani.

"He defends the expression ‘globalize the intifada,’ which explicitly means – and I don’t wanna hear anyone deny this – it means kill Jews whenever and wherever you can find them," Kirchick added.

The "Secret City" author hit both sides of the political aisle, comparing Democrats who are not refusing to endorse Mamdani to Republicans 10 years ago, who were "letting Trump go on and on and they weren’t standing up to him."

"I feel with this guy we’re seeing the same sort of cowardice and spinelessness," Kirchick asserted. 

In July, the New York Times reported that Mamdani told a group of business leaders he would not use the phrase "globalize the intifada," and he would "discourage" others from using it.

The American Pulse polling firm conducted a survey in July, in which it found that 30% of New York City voters support Mamdani’s refusal to condemn the phrase "globalize the intifada" and his backing of the anti-Israel boycott movement.
