US EditionHow the Supreme Court Legalized Racial Profiling
The Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling permits ICE to profile and detain individuals based on race, impacting over 65 million Hispanic Americans, with nationwide enforcement implications.
- On September 8, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to lift limits on ICE roving patrols in Los Angeles, allowing stops based on race and language.
- This ruling overturned a lower court order that had restricted racial profiling tactics amid widespread ICE raids targeting Latino and low-wage communities.
- Justice Kavanaugh concurred, stating race can be a relevant factor due to a large undocumented population, while Justice Sotomayor dissented citing constitutional and Fourth Amendment protections.
- Sotomayor highlighted that agents were stopping individuals based on factors such as their race or ethnicity, the language they spoke, the locations they were found, and their apparent type of employment. She expressed concern that no one should have to endure living in a nation where the government can target people who appear Latino, communicate in Spanish, and seem to hold low-paying jobs.
- The decision allows federal immigration enforcement to continue racial profiling in Los Angeles and potentially nationwide, raising concerns about civil rights and constitutional safeguards.
