up being adopted by the Supreme Court. In May 2017, Ikuta dissented when the narrowly divided en banc circuit found that the United States District Court for the Southern District of California's policy of indiscriminately shackling criminal defendants in all pretrial hearings violated the Constitution's Due Process Clause. In March 2018, the circuit's judgment was vacated by the unanimous Supreme Court of the United States. City of Los Angeles v. Barr (Sanctuary Cities) On July 12, 2019, in City of Los Angeles V. Barr, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit overturned a nationwide injunction issued in 2018, thus upholding preferential treatment in awarding community policing grants to cities that cooperate with immigration authorities.

Ikuta was joined by Senior Judge Edward Leavy and Judges Jay Bybee, Consuelo Callahan, Milan Smith, Eric Miller, and Kenneth K. Lee. Leavy was appointed by President Ronald Reagan, Bybee, Callahan, Ikuta, and Smith by President George W. Bush, and Miller and Lee by President Trump. John Doe v. San Diego Unified School District On December 4, 2021, Ikuta dissented when a 2-1 majority declined to block San Diego Unified School District's requirement that students be vaccinated by December 20. Statistics Judge Ikuta sat on 26 en banc panels between December 2014 and August 2020. During that
