Supreme Court allows Trump to continue ‘roving’ ICE patrols in California
CNN, Sep 8, 2025

The Supreme Court on Monday backed President Donald Trump’s push to allow immigration enforcement officials to continue what critics describe as “roving patrols” in Southern California that lower courts said likely violated the Fourth Amendment.

The court did not offer an explanation for its decision, which came over a sharp dissent from the three liberal justices.

At issue were a series of incidents in which masked and heavily armed Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulled aside people who identify as Latino – including some US citizens – around Los Angeles to interrogate them about their immigration status. Lower courts found that ICE likely had not established the “reasonable suspicion” required to justify those stops.

The decision deals with seven counties in Southern California, but it has landed during a broader crackdown on immigration by the Trump administration – and officials are likely to read it as a tacit approval of similar practices elsewhere.

A US District Court in July ordered the Department of Homeland Security to discontinue the practice if the stops were based largely on a person’s apparent ethnicity, language or their presence at a particular location, such as a farm or bus stop. The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals largely upheld that decision, which applied only to seven California counties.

But the Supreme Court disagreed with that approach. Though the court did not provide any analysis explaining its decision, Justice Brett Kavanaugh, a member of the conservative wing who sided with Trump, wrote in a concurrence that the factors the agents were considering “taken together can constitute at least reasonable suspicion of illegal presence in the United States.”

“To be clear, apparent ethnicity alone cannot furnish reasonable suspicion; under this court’s case law regarding immigration stops, however, it can be a ‘relevant factor’ when considered along with other salient factors,” Kavanaugh wrote.

"Importantly,” Kavanaugh added, “reasonable suspicion means only that immigration officers may briefly stop the individual and inquire about immigration status.”

The Supreme Court lifted a restraining order granted by a judge and cleared the way for federal agents to carry out sweeping immigration enforcement operations in Los Angeles.

The high court's 6-3 decision handed the Trump administration a victory in its mass deportation effort, a campaign promise that has included months of federal immigration operations in Los Angeles at car washes, home improvement store parking lots and other locations. The restraining order granted July 11 by U.S. District Judge Maame E. Frimpong in Los Angeles barred agents from using certain tactics during the raids, such as stopping people based solely on race, language, job or location.

How can it be illegal for the Federal Government to enforce its own laws?

Don't worry.  ICE will eventually get around to the illegal Irish roofers and Albanian gangsters.  There just aren't as many of them ... probably because of the long swim or long flight from Europe.

Every time I read a headline like this one my hair lights on fire!

The F'n court didn't green light anything. It merely put an activist lower court in its place.

I don't care if Nancy Pelosi's Nephew does.

And if you look, sound, and act like someone from elsewhere, you just might be from elsewhere. Cause enough, IMHO to see if you are here legally or not.

US Supreme Court lifts restrictions on LA immigration raids
Americas
The US Supreme Court on Monday allowed government agents to resume roving patrols to detain migrants in California, a practice critics call racial profiling. The ruling bolsters US President Donald Trump’s hardline immigration stance amid stepped-up raids in Los Angeles and other parts of the state.

The US Supreme Court on Monday lifted an order preventing government agents from carrying out roving patrols to detain migrants in California, upholding at least for now a practice critics say amounts to racial profiling.

The decision is the latest ruling by the country's highest court in favor of President Donald Trump's increasingly hardline stance in the wake of ramped up raids across Los Angeles and other parts of California.

The conservative majority court announced the decision in an unsigned order that gave no reasons. Its three liberal members dissented. The case remains alive, however, in lower courts and could again end up before the highest court.
