WASHINGTON It’s time to put a cap on ICE…and the Border Patrol…and the FBI…and any other federal law enforcement agent who illegally violates someone’s civil rights, by making violators personally liable for damages when they do.

In an order filed on Friday, the Eastern District of California granted a request from United Farm Workers and UFW Foundation (UFW) to extend injunctive relief previously granted to the plaintiffs by requiring the Department of Labor (DOL) to direct employers to give farm workers back pay based on increased 2021 wage rates.
The initial injunctive relief was given on Dec. 23, 2020 and stopped the defendant from implementing a Final Rule published in November which would alter how the department surveys and reports farmworker wages. The court ruled that the DOL should still calculate Adverse Effect Wage Rates (AEWR) for 2021 as they had previously, rather than rushing a new process through. In January, the court gave additional details regarding the injunctive relief in a supplemental order.
