A divided Supreme Court on Sept. 8 said the Trump administration can resume for now the indiscriminate immigration-related stops in Los Angeles that sparked protests and charges of racial profiling.
Over the objections of the three liberal justices, the court blocked a judge’s ruling that federal agents need a reasonable suspicion that the person they’re questioning is in the country illegally.
U.S. District Judge Maame Frimpong of the Central District of California said the government can’t rely solely on the person’s ethnicity, what language they speak, whether they’re at a particular location, such as a pickup site for day laborers, or what type of work they do
Frimpong issued that temporary order in July in response to a class action lawsuit filed by a group of Latinos, including U.S. citizens, caught up in the 2025 ICE raids in Southern California.

In a region where a significant share of residents may be undocumented, the Justice Department told the Supreme Court, “reasonable suspicion to stop suspected illegal aliens will necessarily encompass a reasonable broad profile.”
