The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court earlier this month to stay a federal judge's order that had limited immigration agents in the Los Angeles area from stopping, questioning and detaining people based on factors that included their "apparent ethnicity," language and place of work.
The case could determine whether immigration agents can rely on factors including a person's "apparent ethnicity" or speaking Spanish, as part of the "reasonable suspicion" standard that permits immigration stops.
Immigration enforcement has been a key focus of the Trump administration. On President Donald Trump's first day of his second term, he signed 10 executive orders and proclamations related to immigration. During the administration's first 100 days, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement reported that it arrested 66,463 undocumented immigrants and removed 65,682.
What To Know
The litigation began related to an incident in June, when Pasadena residents Pedro Vasquez Perdomo, Carlos Alexander Osorto, and Isaac Antonio Villegas Molina were arrested at a bus stop during a federal enforcement operation. The three men and several other plaintiffs sued several federal officials, including Homeland Security Kristi Noem, Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Todd Lyons and Attorney General Pam Bondi.
U.S. District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong issued a temporary restraining order on July 11, finding the detentions likely violated the Fourth Amendment and prohibiting agents in the Central District of California from stopping individuals based solely on four factors: apparent race or ethnicity, speaking in Spanish or accented English, presence at a location where illegal immigrants are known to gather and working or appearing to work in a particular type of job.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit declined to lift the district court's temporary order earlier this month, and the government filed an emergency application with the Supreme Court asking the justices to stay the order.
What Happens Next
The Supreme Court has yet to rule on the Trump administration's application to stay the lower court's order, which would allow law enforcement to continue using apparent ethnicity, language, location and place of work as factors for immigration stops as the lawsuit progresses.
