Yesterday, the Supreme Court loosened restrictions on immigration raids in Los Angeles that a judge put in place after finding that federal authorities were likely using racial profiling tactics. In a brief 6-3 unsigned order, the Court granted an emergency request by the Trump Administration to remove the limits while litigation continues. Government lawyers argued the lower court had improperly interfered with agents’ ability to conduct immigration enforcement in a high-priority metropolitan area that harbors a large population of immigrants who are in the U.S. without permission.
