"The Supreme Court lifted a temporary restraining order that barred federal immigration agents from conducting "roving patrols" and racially profiling people in the Los Angeles area. The decision, issued Monday, cleared the way for ICE and Border Patrol agents to restart aggressive immigration sweeps that began in June, sparking protests and leading President Trump to send National Guard troops into the city."
"The raids halted after the ACLU sued, saying that agents were targeting people based on skin color, accents or the type of work they did. The brief, unsigned order from the Supreme Court didn't give any legal reasoning for the decision, NPR's Adrian Florido tells Up First. In a concurrence, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that demographic realities in LA and factors like race and work sites could be relevant to whether someone is residing in the country illegally."
The Supreme Court lifted a temporary restraining order that had barred federal immigration agents from conducting roving patrols and racially profiling people in the Los Angeles area. The unsigned emergency order permitted ICE and Border Patrol to restart aggressive immigration sweeps that began in June, after which protests erupted and President Trump sent National Guard troops to the city. The ACLU had sued, alleging agents targeted people based on skin color, accents or type of work. Justice Kavanaugh wrote a concurrence saying demographic realities and factors like race and work sites could be relevant to immigration status determinations. A court hearing is scheduled in Los Angeles later this month and the case could return to the high court. The Department of Homeland Security announced a separate immigration enforcement operation in Illinois. The House Oversight Committee released more than 200 pages of documents from Jeffrey Epstein's estate, including a birthday book with a lewd drawing and a letter that appears to be signed by Trump.
