Set us as preferredA federal judge in California held the Trump administration in civil contempt for violating a court order requiring it to forensically image personal phones used by agents present at 15 identified immigration operations.
Of those, 885 officers indicated they use their personal phones for work, according to Robbins.
Although 88 agents consented to the forensic imaging of their personal phones, Robbins said none of those had been imaged at the time of the hearing.
The Times reported last week that immigration agents were captured on body camera footage and text messages using slurs to refer to Latinos.
Frimpong said that since the June hearing, the government has not supplied information suggesting that personal phones are now beginning to be imaged.
