The Supreme Court temporarily blocked a lower court ruling that restricted federal immigration agents' ability to conduct stops based on race, ethnicity, or language in Los Angeles. Justice Sotomayor issued a strong dissent, arguing the decision allows for discriminatory profiling. The majority, however, contended that the large undocumented immigrant population in the area, and their work patterns, could provide reasonable suspicion for stops. The ruling allows the Trump administration's immigration enforcement practices to continue, pending further legal review.
