The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday sided with US President Donald Trump’s administration, allowing federal agents to continue immigration raids in Southern California that critics say rely heavily on race, ethnicity, or language.
The decision puts on hold a lower court ruling that had restricted federal agents from stopping or detaining individuals without “reasonable suspicion” of being in the country illegally. The order, issued by Los Angeles-based District Judge Maame Frimpong in July, found that the raids likely violated the Fourth Amendment’s protection against unreasonable searches and seizures.
