SUPREME COURT LIFTS LIMITS ON LA IMMIGRATION RAIDS; KAVANAUGH SAYS JUDGES ‘NOT APPOINTED’ TO MAKE POLICY

The Supreme Court, in a 6-3 emergency order, lifted a district-court injunction that had restricted federal immigration operations in Los Angeles. Justice Brett Kavanaugh concurred, warning lower-court judges not to substitute policy judgments for enforcement decisions; dissenters cautioned the move risks racial profiling. The litigation over the underlying injunction (Judge Frimpong’s order) will continue in lower courts as DOJ seeks to preserve enforcement tactics via the emergency docket.
