"I had a colleague in that case who wrote, you know, these are only temporary stops. This is from a man whose parents were professionals. And probably doesn't really know any person who works by the hour."
"Those hours that they took you away, nobody's paying that person. And that makes a difference between a meal for him and his kids that night and maybe just cold supper."
Justice Sonia Sotomayor directly criticized Justice Brett Kavanaugh for his opinion supporting race-based detentions by immigration agents. She rebuked Kavanaugh's justification for these detentions, which have been labeled 'Kavanaugh stops.' Sotomayor emphasized that Kavanaugh's background as a child of professionals limits his understanding of the real-life consequences of such policies. She pointed out that the temporary detentions can significantly affect individuals' livelihoods, contrasting her experiences with Kavanaugh's privileged upbringing.
