Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem pushed back against the latest ruling by a federal judge against the Trump administration, vowing that it will be appealed.

The ruling orders the administration to halt indiscriminate immigration stops and arrests in seven California counties. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass celebrated the ruling as a win “for cities all across the nation,” claiming her city has come “under assault as masked men snatch people off the street.”

The judge’s ruling states U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials cannot rely on profiling factors, such as race, ethnicity, or speaking Spanish, to form reasonable suspicion for a detentive stop. Noem called the ruling “ridiculous,” and stated immigration stops have been built using “casework” against illegal immigrants, including violent offenders.

“It’s been done exactly how law enforcement has operated for many years in this country. and ICE is out there making sure we get the worst of the worst off the streets,” Noem said on Fox News’s Fox News Sunday.

“So this judge made a decision that we will appeal, and we will win because he’s wrong. We’ve never targeted individuals based on those qualifications that he laid out, and again, we’ve seen this across the country over and over and over again, where judges are getting political. It’s not their job. I hope they can bring dignity back to the bench, because we are lacking it now for many of these federal judges,” Noem said.

This past week saw ICE agents raid Glass House Brands farm in Camarillo, California, where cannabis is grown. Since then, Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott said 10 juveniles, all illegal immigrants and eight of whom are unaccompanied minors, were rescued at the marijuana facility.

Glass House disputed ever employing children or knowingly violating labor laws. However, it has received at least five labor law complaints from aggrieved employees.

In a separate televised appearance on Sunday, Noem rebuffed Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s (D-MA) call for her resignation after the Texas floods, saying, “I don’t care what she thinks.”
