High Court Backs Trump on Aggressive Immigration Raids
The U.S. Supreme Court again backed President Donald Trump's hard-line approach toward immigration on Monday, letting federal agents proceed with raids in Southern California targeting people for deportation based on their race or language.
The court granted a Justice Department request to put on hold a federal judge's order temporarily barring agents from stopping or detaining people without "reasonable suspicion" they are in the country illegally, by relying on race or ethnicity, or if they speak Spanish or English with an accent, among other factors.
The Supreme Court's three liberal justices publicly dissented from the decision.
Los Angeles-based U.S. District Judge Maame Frimpong had issued the order on July 11. Frimpong found that the Trump administration's actions likely violated the U.S. Constitution's Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches and seizures. The judge's order applied to her court's jurisdiction covering much of Southern California.
In a written filing, the Justice Department defended targeting people using a "reasonably broad profile" in a region where, according to the administration, about 10% of residents are in the country illegally.
The administration's request marked its latest trip to the Supreme Court seeking to proceed with policies that lower courts have impeded after casting doubt on their legality. The Supreme Court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, has backed Trump in most of these cases.
