A lawsuit was filed against President Donald Trump's administration claiming masked agents have been targeting "individuals with brown skin" in Southern California, arresting them without probable cause and keeping them in "dungeon-like" conditions in efforts to deport them.

The mayor spoke a day after Trump’s Department of Justice sued the city, saying its sanctuary law hinders the federal government’s fight against illegal immigration.

The complaint targets the so-called "sanctuary city" ordinance, alleging it hampers the crackdown on a "crisis of illegal immigration."
