When the court stayed the district court\u2019s decision in Noem vs. Vasquez Perdomo, it green-lighted an era of policing in which people can be stopped and seized for little more than how they look, the job they work or the language they speak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the decision was issued on the Supreme Court\u2019s \u201cshadow docket,\u201d the justices\u2019 reasoning is unknown. All we have is Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh\u2019s solo concurrence defending law enforcement\u2019s use of race and ethnicity as a factor in deciding whom to police, while at the same time playing down the risk that comes with every stop \u2014 prolonged detention, wanton violence, wrongful deportation and sometimes even death. As Justice Sonia Sotomayor said in her impassioned dissent (joined by Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson): \u201cWe should not live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job.\u201d But now, we do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The practical effect of this decision is enormous. \u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LAT: The 4th Amendment will no longer protect you by Daniel Harawa &amp; Kate Weisburd:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[107,35],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-62019","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-immigration-arrests","category-reasonable-suspicion"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62019","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=62019"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62019\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":62020,"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62019\/revisions\/62020"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=62019"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=62019"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=62019"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
