The Justice Department was grilled by an appeals court panel Monday over its bid to pause restrictions on immigration raids in Los Angeles that were put in place by a federal district court order.

A three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, made up of Judges Ronald Gould, Marsha Berzon, and Jennifer Sung — two appointees of former President Bill Clinton and one appointee of former President Joe Biden — expressed skepticism over the DOJ’s arguments for a stay pending appeal of the lower court’s order.
