The Trump administration petitioned the Supreme Court to remove restrictions on mass deportation efforts across Southern California, specifically targeting "roving patrols" that have been banned after a lower court found them likely to violate the 4th Amendment. The 9th Circuit upheld these restrictions, which prohibit agents from arresting individuals without establishing reasonable suspicion. These suspicions cannot be based solely on race or ethnicity. Civil rights lawyers criticized the appeal as enabling racially biased enforcement tactics. Recent operations by Border Patrol have raised concerns about adherence to the court's decision.
The Trump administration seeks to lift a ban on "roving patrols" that restricts immigration officials from apprehending individuals without reasonable suspicion of illegal status.
The restrictions state that reasonable suspicion cannot be based solely on race, ethnicity, language, location, or employment, as determined by a U.S. District Judge.
Lawyers challenging immigration tactics argue that the administration's appeal would enable indiscriminate arrests of Latinos in Los Angeles, marking an unprecedented legal challenge.
Following the Trump administration's petition, Border Patrol agents allegedly carried out actions that may have violated the existing court order regarding immigration enforcement.
