Donald Trump’s administration’s mass immigration drive has met various hindrances in the courts, and now the administration is asking the Supreme Court to allow immigration officers to continue arresting people based on their ethnicity and the language they speak.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been facing criticism, particularly over its drives to enforce mass immigration in Southern California. They have reportedly been approaching residents in masks while heavily armed, often depending on how their ethnicity appears. There have also been cases where residents speaking Spanish were treated as suspected illegal immigrants for that reason alone. In the wake of protests in Los Angeles and an ugly public spat between the president and Governor Gavin Newsom, the battle has now been carried over by advocacy groups into the courts.
