The steps didn't happen. The proper procedure didn't happen.
This is just a preliminary injunction. There's plenty of time to send little postcards to every womb in America.

The steps didn't happen. The proper procedure didn't happen.
Which ones didn't happen?

The ACLU filed a complaint in court on behalf of a larger group, which met all of the requirements and included the motion for class certification.

The defendant (the US government, representing Donald J Trump) was granted a chance to oppose the motion in a hearing. At that hearing, the judge granted certification of the class and issued a temporary injunction halting enforcement of the executive order against that certified class.

The members of the class do not need to be notified, nor does the case need to go to trial in order for a judge to issue a temporary injunction. Temporary injunctions are just that - temporary. They stop one party in the case from doing something potentially illegal until the case can be heard in order to prevent serious or irreparable harm from coming to the other party. I think that we can all agree that preventing someone from obtaining US citizenship who is legally entitled to it would constitute "serious or irreparable harm". Since the purpose of the case is to determine whether this class of persons is entitled to citizenship, your opinion on whether or not they are citizens is irrelevant.

Judge restricts some immigration raids in California

The temporary restraining order blocks the Department of Homeland Security from making arrests of people based solely on factors like race, accent, the type of work they do and their presence at a particular location -- such as day laborer pick up sites and agricultural sites.

The order comes after a lawsuit filed by immigrant advocacy groups accused federal agents of targeting Latino communities with unconstitutional tactics — including warrantless arrests, racial profiling and denying access to legal counsel.

"What the federal government would have this Court believe —in the face of a mountain of evidence presented in this case—is that none of this is actually happening," [judge] Frimpong wrote.

Federal judge signals a halt to indiscriminate immigration stops

The ruling was not made public, but a final order is expected Friday on the case that has become a centerpiece in the battle over Trump’s mass deportation plan. The lawsuit filed by immigrant rights groups last week seeks to block federal agents from stopping and arresting brown-skinned people without probable cause and then placing them in “dungeon-like” conditions without access to lawyers.

[The judge] pressed [gov lawyer] Skedzielewski on how agents were making arrests, after he argued that “these are sophisticated operations” and seemed to say that arrests stemmed from particular people who were being targeted.

“There doesn’t seem to be anything like that here, which makes it difficult for the court to accept your description of what is happening, because there is no proof that that is what is happening as opposed to what the plaintiffs are saying is happening,” Frimpong said.
