The Supreme Court of the United States allowed on Monday that immigration agents attached to Los Angeles suspected of being illegally in the country, when suspending a temporary decision that prevented detention based on ethnic or unofaled issues.
With six votes in favor and three against, the highest court in the country was next to the government of President Donald Trump, who appealed the decision of a federal judge who had temporarily suspended in July the immigration operations in Los Angeles based on the appearance of people, in the language that speak or the work they do.
The US Supreme Court’s ruling blocks the Order of Judge Maame Frimpong of California Central District, which in July temporarily banned such immigration operations in the Los Angeles Metropolitan Region and two other counties, and was ratified by the ninth circuit appeal court.
The magistrate’s decision was taken in response to an action presented by immigrants and US citizens affected by the work of migration agents, and human rights defense organizations, which claimed that in mass operations started in January, constitutional violations and racial discrimination were committed.
Supreme Court judge Brett M. Kavanaugh wrote in Monday’s verdict that federal law states that immigrant arrests based on reasonable suspicions of illegal presence has been an important component of the application of US immigration laws over decades, ”over several governments.
Already the judge of Porto-Rican origin Sonia Sotomayor wrote on behalf of the three progressives of the court who voted against “countless people” in the Los Angeles region were arrested, thrown on the floor and handcuffed simply by their appearance, accent or work, so the Supreme’s decision would reflect a “severe abuse” in emergency decisions.
Supreme Court’s decision allows immigration authorities to continue operations while the case proceeds in the lower courts and represents a significant victory for the White House, which promotes a mass deportation policy.
