US Supreme Court allows Trump to continue aggressive immigration raids | World News

The US Supreme Court on Monday allowed President Donald Trump’s adminration to continue immigration raids in Southern California, backing its request to pause a lower court order that restricted how federal agents could target people for deportation, Reuters reported.
The Justice Department asked the court to block an order from Los Angeles-based US Drict Judge Maame Frimpong, who had ruled in July that the adminration’s practices likely violated the Constitution’s protection against unreasonable searches.

A three-judge panel of the court’s liberal justices dissented from the decision.

In its filing, the Justice Department argued that agents were permitted to use a “reasonably broad profile” in an area where it estimates about 10% of residents are in the country illegally.
