The Supreme Court could give immigration agents broad power to stop and question Latinos

This year's most far-reaching immigration case is likely to decide if immigration agents in Los Angeles are free to stop, question and arrest Latinos they suspect are here illegally.

President Trump promised the "largest mass deportation operation" in American history, and he chose to begin aggressive street sweeps in Los Angeles in early June.

The Greater Los Angeles area is "ground zero for the effects of the border crisis," his lawyers told the Supreme Court this month. "Nearly 2 million illegal aliens — out of an area population of 20 million — are there unlawfully, encouraged by sanctuary-city policies and local officials’ avowed aim to thwart federal enforcement efforts."

The "vast majority of illegal aliens in the [Central] District [of California] come from Mexico or Central America and many only speak Spanish," they added.
