June 11 (Reuters) - A federal judge in Texas said the Trump administration sought to "blatantly judge-shop" to evade a ruling he had issued rejecting its request for a warrant that would allow U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to raid a business to detain migrants who are not authorized to work in the U.S.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Andrew Edison in Galveston leveled that claim in an opinion published on Monday, opens new tab in a fight over the ability of immigration authorities to use administrative inspection warrants to conduct roundups of migrants who are in U.S. illegally working at private businesses.
