The tea was a nod to the American Revolution protest in Boston in which the Sons of Liberty dumped chests full of tea into the Boston Harbor.
CHICAGO It's a sunny October morning, and Yackson is waiting for a bus that will take him to meet his immigration attorney. The Venezuelan, who NPR is identifying by his first name because of his immigration status, looks at a big, run-down apartment building in front of him.

In September, the United States Supreme Court paused a temporary restraining order intended to stop Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from terrorizing Los Angeles with roving patrols, giving ICE the green light to target people because of the color of their skin or the language they speak.

On Monday, the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to use racial profiling in its militarized immigration raids across Los Angeles, halting an injunction that had barred officers from targeting Latinos based on ethnicity. The court did not explain the reason for its shadow docket order, which appeared to split 6-3 along ideological lines. In dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor warned that the decision was "unconscionably irreconcilable with our nation's constitutional guarantees," opening the door to violent persecution of Latinos-including American citizens-by "masked agents with guns."
