Breaking #ICE news: After holding a trial, federal judge in Los Angeles rules that ICE cannot rely on patchwork of federal databases to detain people held in state and local custody, invalidating the single biggest method that ICE uses to detain people across the country. 
Judge also rules that ICE cannot issue so-called "detainers" - requests to state/local jailers to hold people for ICE to pick up - in states that don't explicitly authorize their employees to cooperate with ICE. That means detainers are invalid in states like CA and NY.
For a write-up on the case that explains the issues, see @joelrubin article from the @latimes: latimes.com/local/lanow/la…

@joelrubin @latimes @ACLU_SoCal @NDLON @NIJC "I think the decision is a tremendous blow to ICE’s Secure Communities deportation program and to Trump’s effort to use police throughout the country to further his deportation programs,” said Jessica Bansal, @ACLU_SoCal attorney.
