The Supreme Court announced today that it had lifted a federal judge’s order prohibiting government agents from making indiscriminate immigration-related stops in the Los Angeles area.

The judge had ordered the Trump administration not to rely on factors such as race, language or presence at a day-labor site in deciding whom to stop and question. The Supreme Court did not explain its rationale for halting the order, though Justice Brett Kavanaugh argued that while a factor like ethnicity is not by itself a permissible reason to stop someone, it can be a consideration in combination with other factors.

All three of the court’s liberal members dissented. “We should not have to live in a country where the government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish and appears to work a low-wage job,” Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote. The ruling is not the last word in the case, which is pending before a federal appeals court and may again reach the justices.

The government of France collapsed

The government of François Bayrou, France’s centrist prime minister, collapsed today after just nine months. Once unusual, the collapse of French governments has become close to mundane. Bayrou was the country’s fourth prime minister in 20 months.
