"The order had barred agents from stopping people solely based on their race, language, job or location. Trump's Republican administration argued the order wrongly restricted agents carrying out its widespread crackdown on illegal immigration. U.S. District Judge Maame E. Frimpong in Los Angeles had found a "mountain of evidence" that enforcement tactics were violating the Constitution. The plaintiffs included U.S. citizens swept up in immigration stops. An appeals court had left Frimpong's ruling in place."
"The Supreme Court's 6-3 decision comes as Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents also step up enforcement in Washington amid Trump's unprecedented federal takeover of the capital city's law enforcement and deployment of the National Guard.

The Supreme Court lifted a restraining order that had limited immigration enforcement tactics in Los Angeles, allowing federal agents to conduct broader operations. The order had barred stops solely based on race, language, job or location. A federal judge found a "mountain of evidence" that enforcement tactics violated the Constitution and noted U.S. citizens were swept up in immigration stops. The Justice Department and Homeland Security contend agents target illegal presence, not race. The case will continue in California amid increased ICE enforcement in Washington and controversy over the federal takeover of local law enforcement.
