California's attorney general has filed a lawsuit against the City of El Cajon, alleging its police department has repeatedly violated state law by sharing license plate reader data with law enforcement agencies in other states. The lawsuit comes at a time of heightened concern for immigrants and women seeking reproductive care. Once data leaves California, it can be accessed by agencies in states with different policies regarding immigration or abortion. California law allows the use of license plate readers to help solve crimes, but agencies can't share the data with federal or out-of-state authorities. El Cajon's mayor called the lawsuit an overreach by the state.

The Supreme Court is clearing the way for federal agents to conduct sweeping immigration operations in Los Angeles, another victory for President Donald Trump at the high court. The justices Monday lifted a restraining order from a judge who found patrols were conducting indiscriminate arrests in LA. The order barred agents from stopping people solely based on their race, language, job or location. The plaintiffs included U.S. citizens swept up in immigration stops. Justice Brett Kavanaugh says the lower-court judge went too far in restricting how agents can carry out brief stops for questioning. In a dissenting opinion, Justice Sonia Sotomayor says people were thrown to the ground and handcuffed because of their looks and accents.
