SOTOMAYOR CHECKS COLBERT ON SCOTUS ICE ORDER: MULTI-FACTOR STOPS, NOT RACE/LANGUAGE ALONE

Breitbart covers an exchange on The Late Show where Justice Sonia Sotomayor, a dissenter in the recent Supreme Court emergency order on ICE stops in Los Angeles, pushes back on host Stephen Colbert’s claim that the Court greenlit race- or language-only targeting. Sotomayor notes the majority referenced multiple factors—apparent ethnicity, language/accent, type of work, and specific locations—while warning in her dissent about profiling risks. The piece ties the TV moment to the broader legal fight over SCOTUS’s shadow-docket order and its on-the-ground implications for ICE. It adds a media-clarification angle to a high-impact policy shift drawing national attention.
