The Supreme Court just granted an emergency request from the Trump administration, effectively lifting a federal judge’s ruling that restricted federal officers from conducting immigration stops in the Los Angeles area. This decision puts on hold the July 11 ruling by U.S. District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong, which was a response to extensive sweeps by federal agents in the Los Angeles region.
The move has drawn strong criticism from liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who was joined by the two other liberal justices in her dissent.
