Supreme Court Allows Trump Immigration Raids California

The U.S. Supreme Court has allowed President Donald Trump's administration to continue aggressive immigration raids in Southern California, overturning a lower court order that restricted federal agents from stopping or detaining individuals solely based on race, ethnicity, or language. The decision permits agents to consider a broad profile including factors like speaking Spanish or working in certain jobs, despite concerns over constitutional protections against unreasonable searches. The ruling was met with strong dissent from the court's three liberal justices, who criticized the majority for enabling racial profiling and undermining Fourth Amendment rights. Justice Sonia Sotomayor highlighted the impact on Latino communities, condemning the administration's approach as targeting all Latinos in low-wage jobs regardless of citizenship. While the Supreme Court's order was brief and lacked detailed explanation, conservative justices emphasized that ethnicity alone cannot justify stops but can be part of a broader consideration. The ruling has intensified debates over immigration enforcement policies and sparked legal challenges and protests focused on civil liberties and racial discrimination.
