The Trump administration on Monday asked a federal appeals court to pause a sweeping order from a California judge that required officials to stop making immigration arrests without probable cause in the southern part of the state.

The ruling issued Friday by US District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong ordered the Department of Homeland Security to develop guidance for officers to determine “reasonable suspicion” outside of the apparent race or ethnicity of a person, the language they speak or their accent, “presence at a particular location” such as a bus stop, or “the type of work one does.”

The ruling applies only to the seven-county jurisdiction of the US Central District of California, which includes Los Angeles and surrounding areas.
