Federal Judge Rules Against Orange County Gang Injunction

A federal judge in Los Angeles ruled in favor of residents of Orange who objected to the way police and prosecutors subjected them to a gang injunction. Yesterday, U.S. District Judge Valerie Baker Fairbank ruled that Orange County prosecutors and Orange police violated the due process rights when they enforced a gang injunction against 62 people. Pacifica’s Ernesto Arce has more from Los Angeles.
