U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips ruled Thursday that Los Angeles can no longer enforce gang restrictions deemed unconstitutional by the ACLU.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the restrictions helped seriously curb gang violence in the 1990s, yet were attacked by the ACLU on the grounds that they target gangs rather than individual gang members and violate due process in doing so.
The ACLU’s senior staff attorney, Peter Bibring, said that Phillips, who was appointed to the California Central District court by former President Bill Clinton in 1999, “clearly recognizes the way the city of Los Angeles has been enforcing gang injunctions over decades violates due process in a way that makes it likely they will place people on gang injunctions who may not be gang members.”
