High Court Backs Trump on Aggressive Immigration Raids
Newsmax ^ | September 8, 2025 | Rooters

Posted on 09/08/2025 10:37:32 AM PDT by Navy Patriot

The U.S. Supreme Court again backed President Donald Trump's hard-line approach toward immigration on Monday, letting federal agents proceed with raids in Southern California targeting people for deportation based on their race or language.

The court granted a Justice Department request to put on hold a federal judge's order temporarily barring agents from stopping or detaining people without "reasonable suspicion" they are in the country illegally, by relying on race or ethnicity, or if they speak Spanish or English with an accent, among other factors.

The Supreme Court's three liberal justices publicly dissented from the decision.

Los Angeles-based U.S. District Judge Maame Frimpong had issued the order on July 11. Frimpong found that the Trump administration's actions likely violated the U.S. Constitution's Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches and seizures. The judge's order applied to her court's jurisdiction covering much of Southern California.

In a written filing, the Justice Department defended targeting people using a "reasonably broad profile" in a region where, according to the administration, about 10% of residents are in the country illegally.

The administration's request marked its latest trip to the Supreme Court seeking to proceed with policies that lower courts have impeded after casting doubt on their legality. The Supreme Court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, has backed Trump in most of these cases.

Rooters Sewer Service is dejectedly "reporting" that SCOTUS backs President Trump, ... as it should.

Sadly, three low IQ affirmative action appointees prefer Foreigners trying to run America.

This is a major decision that will prove consequential.

It could be extrapolated to domestic profiling by police.

There has to be some kind of difference in protection for citizens accused of crimes and probable illegal aliens who don’t even have right to be here.

You see 4 Black gang bangers in car with all the associated accoutrements in an Asian, White or Hispanic neighborhood...can you pull them over for just being there?

There are dozens of police forces under consent decrees with DOJ saying they cannot.

This decision could help overturn those restraints.

Here is the Opinion:

And the dissent by the usual suspects:

If you have time, read at least the first few pages of the Opinion. It is pretty good.

Kavanaugh used his 10-page concurrence to launch into a broader discussion about the debate around illegal immigration.

“To be sure, I recognize and fully appreciate that many (not all, but many) illegal immigrants come to the United States to escape poverty and the lack of freedom and opportunities in their home countries,” he wrote.

“But the fact remains that, under the laws passed by Congress and the president, they are acting illegally by remaining in the United States – at least unless Congress and the president choose some other legislative approach to legalize some or all of those individuals now illegally present in the country,” he added.

Just to be clear, this is not an Opinion of the Court. It is a one-justice opinion concurring in the grant of an application of an interim stay pending appeal. There is no ruling on the merits of the case, with Justice Kavanaugh stating, "... the Government has demonstrated a fair prospect of success on the merits...."

https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf/25a169_5h25.pdf

KAVANAUGH, J., concurring

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
No. 25A169

KRISTI NOEM, SECRETARY, DEPARTMENT OF
HOMELAND SECURITY, ET AL. v. PEDRO
VASQUEZ PERDOMO, ET AL.

ON APPLICATION FOR STAY

[September 8, 2025]

The application for stay presented to JUSTICE KAGAN and by her referred to the Court is granted. The July 11, 2025 order entered by the United States District Court for the Central District of California, case No. 2:25–cv–5605, is stayed pending the disposition of the appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and disposition of a petition for a writ of certiorari, if such a writ is timely sought. Should certiorari be denied, this stay shall terminate automatically. In the event certiorari is granted, the stay shall terminate upon the sending down of the judgment of this Court.

JUSTICE KAVANAUGH, concurring in the grant of the application for stay.

[...]

In sum, the Government has demonstrated a fair prospect of success on the merits and has met the other factors for an interim stay pending appeal of the District Court’s injunction. I therefore vote to grant the Government’s application.

I forgot who said it, but “the Constitution is not a suicide pact.” It also does not forbid the use of data and common sense in law enforcement. Since we know that the vast majority of illegals share certain ethnicities, languages and habits of conduct, it makes sense that immigration enforcement would focus those characteristics. If investigative contacts were not being made on people roughly in the same percentages that are here illegally, THAT would be a red flag.

Other Drive-By Media creeps have the headline “Roving ICE Patrols.”

Like it’s a bad thing.

The illegal trespassers have been “roving” across America for far too long.

Grok:

“Maame” (pronounced ma-meh) is a term from the Twi language, spoken by the Akan people of Ghana, and it carries multiple meanings including “woman,” “mother,” or “mature person,” often implying responsibility and maturity.
