Make that fascism guidance.

Using the shadow docket, the Supreme Court set aside a restraining order preventing ICE officers in Los Angeles from violating Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable search and seizure. ICE agents can continue to decide which people to stop and detain for questioning based solely on one or more of four factors that a lower-court judge had deemed unconstitutional.

Those factors are a person's apparent race or ethnicity; the fact that they speak English with an accent or speak Spanish; their presence at certain locations like farms, construction sites, or pickup sites for day laborers; and the type of work they do. Racial profiling is alive and well.
