The Supreme Court has again rebuffed lower courts seeking to block executive actions, from immigration to the downsizing of government. In the latest victory for the Trump Administration, the Court reversed decisions of a federal district court judge and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to enjoin new ICE raids in California.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom and other Democrats proceeded to attack the Supreme Court justices as political hacks. Newsom declared on X that “@realDonaldTrump’s hand-picked SCOTUS majority just became the Grand Marshal for a parade of racial terror in LA.”
U.S. District Judge Maame E. Frimpong, a Biden appointee, in Los Angeles, had found a “mountain of evidence” that enforcement tactics were violating the Constitution. She found that ICE was racially profiling suspects in the operation. The Ninth Circuit upheld the controversial ruling.
An estimated over seventy percent of undocumented immigrants are hispanic.
The Supreme Court summarily tossed the injunction. While the order was issued without an opinion, two justices squared off on the looming issue in the case.
Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote a concurring opinion arguing that race can be one of the factors used by ICE for the reasonable suspicion to stop a person and inquire about their immigration status: “To be clear, apparent ethnicity alone cannot furnish reasonable suspicion; under this Court’s case law regarding immigration stops, however, it can be a ‘relevant factor’ when considered along with other salient factors.”
Justice Sonia Sotomayor issued a dissent that called the raids troubling and then added “we should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job.”
Sen. Adam Schiff (D., Cal.) beat the drum of dictatorship in a posting to X: “This is blatantly illegal, yet the Supreme Court is allowing it to happen while the case proceeds. When the history of this country’s rapid descent into dictatorship is written, Republicans in Congress and the Roberts Court will have been its primary enabler.”
There was a time when the Court could disagree on the legality of a search without instantly being declared the handmaiden of tyranny. This is clearly not that time. However, the escalating rhetoric on the left is fueling the violence that is rising in cities like Portland.
As I noted this week, there is an emergence of a new Jacobin class of establishment figures and intellectuals seeking to ride the wave of rage on the left. Even a cursory review of French history shows that such enablers are rarely immune from the mob justice that accompanies the rhetoric of rage.

The problem, IMO, is that there are NO “OTHER SALIENT FACTORS” being used🤬🤬🤬 ….That’s the whole enchilada in a nutshell. That’s the issue. Did Kavanaugh cite to ANY PART of the Petition/TRO where ICE is claiming/alleging that race/ethnicity is not the ONLY factor being used, but one of many material factors? NO. ICE is going on straight up race/ethnicity and NOTHING ELSE. That is not right, that is unconstitutional. This isn’t rocket science, this is basic constitutional law. I have NO problem with race/ethnicity being used as ONE of OTHER material factors, but that is not the case, that is NOT what is happening.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor issued a dissent that called the raids troubling and then added “we should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job.”
Sotomayor is 100% on point. ICE is rolling up and making detainments/arrests on nothing BUT race/ethnicity. Nothing else. Nothing. Zero. Nada. These are flat out unconstitutional “detainments” in violation of the 4th Amendment and well established SCOTUS case law, see Terry v Ohio.
NO. ICE is going on straight up race/ethnicity and NOTHING ELSE.
Hey Mr. Rocket Scientist, you should be able to prove that claim. Ready. Go.
So far ICE seems to be batting .1000 and arresting only illegal aliens for deportation. Especially the criminals.
He obviously didn’t watch Homan’s MSLSD interview. If hehad he would’ve known that ICE knows exactly who they are going after. Illegals that have exhausted their stay and have deportation orders, illegals that have been identified as national security risks(gang members and traffickers )and other such undesirable people THAT ARE ILLEGALLY here in our country. Being brown, black, white, yellow or red and unable to provide identification is a cause for detainment. If you’re not breaking any laws you get to hang. If you are grifting the rules and system, you get to GTFO.
Hey Mr. Rocket Scientist, you should be able to prove that claim. Ready. Go.
It is clearly articulated in the July 11, 2025, ORDER. English, can you READ it? The Order is linked in the column, just pull it up and READ IT Baby Einstein.
Come on.
I just watched the MAN himself eviscerate Mika ladouche on MSLSD over the very topic. Like I said, the ICE agents know who they’re looking for and the SC allowed racial profiling in conjunction with additional probable cause. Besides I could give two shits if the Cops use racial profiling, perhaps if certain racial groups quit committing all the crimes it would be a moot point. Let’s statistically profile, how about that penis envy Elmo?
ICE is rolling up and making detainments/arrests on nothing BUT race/ethnicity
Funny how when INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service) in the 1980s/90s pulled up in greyhound buses to hotels, motels and restaurants on Miami Beach to round up illegals, no one amongst Democrats nor the MSM seemed to even care. I watched many times in horror as INS officers raided hotels and restaurants in Miami/Miami Beach specifically to apprehend undocumented immigrants, while I was shopping, dining or just driving in the area. Not even the Miami Herald could offer a keystroke on the backpages of their evening editions. Heck, when Bill Clinton ordered his Attorney General, Janet Reno to send US Marshalls to a humble Cuban home in Little Havana in Miami, on the most sacred day of the year for Catholics, Good Friday pre-dawn, and placed a rifle to the family’s face, the DNC/MSM defended Clinton/Reno
You folks have no use, need nor compassion for us immigrants. You just pound the table trying to convince anyone who notices that you’re a virtuous person. Given your comical posts, I’d be surprised if you were older than age 14.
Pro-tip for “StitchfromHawaiiSavingtheWorld”: use less emoticons, access that white matter in your pre-frontal cortex, but first you have to stop sitting on it, imbécil
Mira que ustedes son burros
Great point. To the Dems, arresting violent criminal illegals is no bueno, but terrorizing a little kid is okay because his presence in America shed light on the failures of Communism.
You are old enough to remember, as am I, Janet Reno’s tragic mistakes as Bill Clinton’s AG: Elian Gonzalez, Waco, Ruby Ridge….all defended by DNC/MSM. These people have no moral bone in their bodies, for them moral relativism is their golden calf. I remember well the Elian Gonzalez raid. All Catholic Churches (Easter Weekend) in Miami were stunned and took away the joy of the significance of the Eastern celebration. But the Cuban population would not shut-up about it, rightly so. His mother died in transit from Cuba to Florida, while his father had not seen nor interacted with his son and ex-wife in Cuba for years
These DNC trolls suddenly find immigrants useful when they’re not demanding that we wipe their ashes. Que se vayan par’carajo
You folks have no use, need nor compassion for us immigrants. You just pound the table trying to convince anyone who notices that you’re a virtuous person. Given your comical posts, I’d be surprised if you were older than age 14… no one amongst Democrats nor the MSM seemed to even care. …Pro-tip for “StitchfromHawaiiSavingtheWorld”: use less emoticons, access that white matter in your pre-frontal cortex, but first you have to stop sitting on it, imbécil
Well, to be clear here⬆, I am only 13 y/o, but my birthday🎂🎉🥳 is coming up in two (2) weeks😂😂😂 … And I know who is NOT being invited to my Party🤬
BTW- for full disclosure-I am not a “Democrat” or “MSM”. I am science experiment number 626. Don’t forget it or I will tattoo it on your forehead, small as it may be from lack of a brain🙀
Democrats seem to be upset that their project of importing large numbers of illegal aliens to expand power can be undermined by Homeland Security using immutable characteristics.
“I HAVE EXERCISED ALL THE POWER WHICH THE CONSTITUTION AND LAWS CONFER ON ME, BUT THAT POWER HAS BEEN RESISTED BY A FORCE TOO STRONG FOR ME TO OVERCOME.”

“The clause in the Constitution which authorizes the suspension of the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus is in the ninth section of the first article. This article is devoted to the Legislative Department of the United States, and has not the slightest reference to the Executive Department.”
“I can see no ground whatever for supposing that the President in any emergency or in any state of things can authorize the suspension of the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus, or arrest a citizen except in aid of the judicial power.”
“I have exercised all the power which the Constitution and laws confer on me, but that power has been resisted by a force too strong for me to overcome.”
– Chief Justice Roger B. Taney, May 28, 1861
I’m an American. My ancestors first arrived in 1607. I want my country invaded by people who were denied citizenship and various and sundry other illegal aliens past and present. I want to give all my money and private property to parasitic foreign invaders as welfare. Those are my deepest longings and greatest desires as an unhyphenated and patriotic, actual American.
However, the escalating rhetoric on the left is fueling the violence that is rising in cities like Portland.
And more to the point, violence against the Supreme Court. Think of the mobs outside the Justices’ private homes in 2022, and the guy who traveled to DC to assassinate Justice Kavanaugh.
Here is Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY):
“I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions!
People like Schumer and Schiff know exactly what they’re doing. They know there are unhinged people out there who will act on their words. We have seen this time and time again, with the Bernie Bro who shot up a Republican baseball team, Kavanaugh’s would-be assassin, two would-be assassins on Donald Trump, and many, many more. These people may be protected by the First Amendment from criminal punishment, but there should be political consequences for such irresponsible incitement of violence.
Here is Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY):
“I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions!
VERY troubling speech by windbag Schumer. BUT it is vague, ambiguous (“…won’t know what hit you…”) and conditional (…if you go forward…”) and as such is protected free speech.
True. I admitted all that (read the last sentence of my comment). It is protected speech. At the same time, they know it will incite the unhinged. They are very clever in the way they do this.
At the same time, they know it will incite the unhinged.
True, and that is why it is so troubling, Because this is coming from a US Senator, and will most definitely give the public a green light to engage in troubling, even unlawfully violent, behavior. The words of a US Senator carries substantial weight with the public. Schumer is an instigator, along the lines of Nancy Pelosi, both major Ass Clowns ultimately harming the entire country to advance the position of the few (their party); they just don’t care about the whole, only the part-their part.
” At the same time, they know it will incite the unhinged. They are very clever in the way they do this.”
It won’t seem so clever to them when (not if) the actions of some unhinged person that they so inspire triggers a similarly unhinged individual from the other end of the political spectrum to take out Schumer or one of the other self-satisfied enablers…
So let me get this straight. Most, if not all, the illegal aliens that have illegally entered southern border states, through the southern border, from countries where Spanish is the spoken language, and Justice Sotomayor thinks it should be illegal for immigration authorities to consider a that predominantly Spanish-speaking person in a border state could possibly be here illegally? How does one get to be this stupid?
So either someone that looks illegal or speaks illegal should be worried even if they are here legally or born here? How about they use more than just looks? As Justice Kavanaugh points out, it can be used as a factor, but not the suspicion. While I agree with the decision, I also take Sotomayor’s point that this can be used abusively. It is always someone else’s problem until it is you getting tossed against a fence and having your rights violated.
If they are here legally, or if they were born here, they have ultimately nothing to fear.
If they are here legally, or if they were born here, they have ultimately nothing to fear.
“Ultimately having nothing to fear…” is NOT legal cause to stop anyone in America without, at a MINIMUM, “Reasonable Suspicion” of a crime, see Terry v Ohio, 1968. As an American who believes in our rights, I take offense to such a comment⬆. “Ultimately” YOU are putting the burden of proof on the public, not the government. Sort of conflicts with the “innocent until proven guilty” doctrine America is known the world over for…..
Unfortunately, Vincente, that’s not how the ICE police operate.
So as ICE and border patrol agents are immigration enforcement officers. They can ask anyone they care to if they are a US citizen. If that person lies or gives them cause to believe they are being untruthful they can request ID. If they fail to produce or are caught in giving false information then they get to go to the dance. Crossing our border illegally is a crime and deportation is warranted. End/stop.
Here’s what you do to avoid abuse: Comply and don’t lie
If you’re here illegally, go peacefully and don’t return.
She forgot about emergencies? She’s tired, old and addled?
Why is civil and factual speech censored on this site?
The local “political officer” of the communist party is scrutinizing for adherence to party policy.
The histrionics from the Democrats have nothing to do with the Constitution or human rights and EVERYTHING to do with electoral politics. If Trump (and Vance if he wins) succeeds in deporting even half of the millions of illegals that poured into the US under Biden, blue states will be decimated by the Census (presuming citizenship is NOT a question on the 2030 Census). In the short term, these actions will greatly suppress voting by illegals that we are assured isn’t happening, but the examples of it are becoming more common.
This is fine with me. And generational families from these cultures feel the same. This Marxist boosheet is all ridiculous as he**, and is exactly what it is on its face. That the dems have an issue with it should tell one a lot about what has given them even a soupcon of relevance over the past 20 years. This is not new, it has just reached critical mass, and with so many things: nobody cared before it was a terrible problem.
I was born and raised in a border state, and I’m here to tell you: it wasn’t like it is now before very specific dem policy. I went to border state schools, and there were virtually zero ‘ESL’ students. None. Zero. This is about profit and advantage and weak constituency for *them*, and literally nothing more. Past crime families would envy the modern DNC. I am almost at the point where I think the drug cartels are their pals or suppliers.
We have the dirt on Karen Bass, and she can take her little generational communist butt back to wherever that originated for her, and see how she fares. America is done with all of this, for good, I don’t care if she’s black, or purple, or beige. If she would like to part of a banana republic, she can go to the actual banana republics, down south or elsewhere. Here, we will continue to be an autonomous nation of actually free people. Heaven help those that refuse to leave a dumpster fire like CA; then again, they would just take their boosheet with them and try, in their arrogance, to impose and infect, because they are addicted to their own myopic levels of comfort, so it’s good they stay where they are.
Yes thank you. I am in San Francisco, tragically a cartel hub. No question in my mind it is a partnership. Full on corruption, collusion. Heartbreaking.
I vacationed in Phoenix, Arizona, ten years ago, and I did not
see as much Mexican influence as I expected.
The greater the values and morals of our founding fathers are embraced and celebrated, the greater the incentive will be for the opposition to fundamentally transform the United States of America.
Honestly, just how tired are we at this obstructive nature of these indoctrinated, prog/partisan judges doing this at every step. They are worse than the prog senators delaying appointments any parliamentary means just to delay the inevitable.
While I agree that the letter of the law and adherence to the constitution should be the qualifier in these cases, some of this is just grandstanding to allow talking points for the 2026 elections and should be seen as such – that and a good deal of terminal TDS
Looking at jobs in the construction trades, where illegal kill the wages, pushing out American citizens makes perfect sense.
The majority of the illegal aliens did come across the southern border from Hispanic nations. It’s obvious that Hispanics have to be one of the criteria of finding the millions of illegal aliens who Democrats flooded of the country with.
From an article I’m writing on impossible problems of the law.
Activist law is not a formally recognized term in legal scholarship or practice, but it can be understood as a colloquial or conceptual phrase referring to legal practices, strategies, or interpretations driven by activism or ideological goals. It typically implies the use of law as a tool to advance social, political, or environmental causes, often associated with reformist agendas. It tends to bypass changing the natural law, by fiat, without the careful lumbering scholarship and reflection new laws require. In particular, we have 2. Judicial activism occurs when judges interpret laws or constitutions in ways that reflect contemporary values or policy preferences, rather than strictly adhering to precedent or original intent.
Mr Turley – thank you for continuing to share your knowledge and opinions.
SOCUTS: Making Racism Great Again. Notice how Turley did not even try to defend the ruling as in accordance with prior case law. The idea that federal police can stop and arrest anyone who is Hispanic, is in the wrong part of town, and in the wrong job, is offensive to the 4th amendment which until this week required individualized suspicion.
They’re not arresting them, moron.
They can stop and QUESTION them, to establish whether or not they are in the country illegally.
If you didn’t want this to happen, you shouldn’t have voted for a Biden Admin that let millions of illegals into the country
The idea that federal police can stop and arrest anyone who is Hispanic, is in the wrong part of town, and in the wrong job
This case pertains to Terry stops, not arrests. If you want to slander the Supreme Court, at least get your facts straight.
They are getting arrested, even if SCOTUS pretends they are not.
That’s beside the point, and Scotus is not pretending anything. Arrests only follow if probable cause is developed. This case isn’t about probable cause, it’s about the standard for a Terry stop.
Yes, they are detained if they are here illegally. No US citizens or Legal Immigrants are being arrested. You know it but spreading the lies is the job of the influencers that are paid by Chorus. Are you one of them?
Correct – AFTER during a terry stop probable cause is established. If it is not they are released.
They are briefly detained in a terry stop, only reasonable suspicion is required for a terry stop.
Arrest follows if and only if probable cause is established.
SOCUTS?
Was racism illicit or illegal at the 1789 adoption of the Constitution? Did the Constitution allow the freedom of thought and speech and deny the freedom of choice, distinction, and discrimination? Were the Naturalization Acts of 1790, 1795, 1798, and 1802 unconstitutional when they were passed by Congress? Was the Naturalization Act of 1802 in full force and effect on January 1, 1863? Are you sure you’re not advocating the “dictatorship of the proletariat”?
DEIsm (e.g. racism, sexism, ageism, etc)? No.
You are correct – none of those are a basis for an ARREST.
But that is not the question being addressed.
No one is being arrested without probable cause.
This is about being briefly detained – A Terry stop.
The standard is much lower than probable cause.
Like typical left wing nuts you seem to beleive that proof beyond a reasonable doubt is required to suspect someone of illegal conduct
UNLESS they are a republican – then personal animus is sufficient.
In this case I think the judge brought her own discrimination of masses to the ruling. It is quite obvious that certain places, building supply stores, roofing companies and concrete companies to name a few, find their workers there. To not go to these places, would be dereliction of duty. Not only for basic immigration violations but also immigrants with criminal records or warrants.
Trump Winning!!
“There was a time when the Court could disagree on the legality of a search without instantly being declared the handmaiden of tyranny.”
There was a time where the Court ruled one set of people held no rights the Court was bound to respect. That time has apparently returned.
No rights? Please explain.

These are my words, I didn’t cut and paste someone elses.
Comparing a Terry stop to slavery? Slaves had no rights. People detained briefly to see if they’re in the country legally have many rights.
Poor baby. MAGA.
“A federal judge on Tuesday blocked President Donald Trump from firing Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, allowing her to continue in her current role, for now, even as lawyers for the administration are expected to immediately appeal the decision to a higher court for review.”
