NYLJ: Trump\u2019s Court Blesses Racial Profiling<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Under the Fourth Amendment police are allowed to forcibly interfere with a person\u2019s liberty based on a reasonable suspicion that the person is committing or about to commit a crime. The suspicion must be based on individualized factors and not group stereotypes. The federal court issued its injunction because the immigration seizures violated the Fourth Amendment. The Supreme Court did not explain its reasons for issuing the emergency order overturning the injunction. The task of trying to justify what appears to be a misuse of the court\u2019s emergency docket was delegated to Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and his effort was not convincing\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In balancing the government\u2019s interest against the public\u2019s interest, the Trump Justices appear to disregard the government\u2019s abuses and violations of immigration laws, discount the rulings of federal judges who have recorded from the testimony of victims the abuses and violations of their constitutional rights and seek to protect these vulnerable people from lawless government actions. Sadly, the court continues to supplicate to an authoritarian president whose regime continues to destroy constitutional values and the rule of law. As these Justices sit in their comfortable chambers and ruminate in the shadow of their emergency docket, one wonders whether they ever think about the fate of a person who looks a certain way, speaks a certain way, and works at a certain job that pays very little. Are these justices aware that individuals will lose their freedom because they possess those attributes? Do these Justices even care?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
