The Supreme Court Just Let ICE Detain Americans Based on Race (slate.com)

On Monday, the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to use racial profiling in its militarized immigration raids across Los Angeles, halting an injunction that had barred officers from targeting Latinos based on ethnicity. The court did not explain the reason for its shadow docket order, which appeared to split 6–3 along ideological lines. In dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor warned that the decision was “unconscionably irreconcilable with our nation’s constitutional guarantees,” opening the door to violent persecution of Latinos—including American citizens—by “masked agents with guns.” The majority did not respond to this extraordinary charge, perhaps because it is so obviously true.

To think the USA only just got rid of Jim Crow.

Absolutely zero sympathy for the Latinos who drank the fucking Orange Kool-Aid and support Krasnov. None and I hope those dip shits get a taste of ICE.

I saw this coming. The SCOTUS is already compromised.

It starts with Latinos, it won't end there.

Thanks there Latino's for Trump.

Cool that they can just do this.

Kavanaugh did, in a concurrence. I strongly disagree with his Opinion but at least he put words to paper. the others didn't, so I assume the conservatives are fighting about the legal basis for their ruling.

they will have to eventually explain themselves at least, once this case makes it to the regular docket.

yeah, it turns out unelected, lifetime appointees with the power to interpret the law with no oversight was a bad idea.

If they don't have to explain themselves, then they shouldn't expect one when the angry mob shows up at their door 🤷

It's up to armed communities to now protect ourselves from the federal government.

Buy guns before they start blocking access.

At least no Latinos voted for Trump, right? Right?

Sound like Americans need to start detaining the supreme court

As a brown person. Yeah this is not new, America’s mask is just off now.

What, you think people weren't just bidding on George Zimmerman's paintings for his artistic capacity? Incidentally, someone who would have been prime illegal ICE detainment material had he not signaled as he did to the MAGA crowd. I imagine he's their "one good Hispanic".

If this shitcircus was only affecting the US i wouldn't care, but it's not.

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 33 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

As an outsider I'm genuinely shocked. So much for the melting pot. :(

The fact that the conservatives didn't bother to explain their reasoning is entirely damning.
