The U.S. Supreme Court in a 6-3 decision on Monday lifted a lower court order that had restricted federal immigration agents from conducting broad roving patrols in Los Angeles. According to the Associated Press, the ruling allows Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to continue operations that have been criticized as racial profiling. The decision has drawn strong dissent from the court's liberal justices and from many California officials. While a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the raids will continue in federal court, the decision allows the administration to proceed with planned enforcement efforts, which already have resulted in more than 5,000 arrests since June.
