Episode notes
Supreme Court Eases Limits On ICE Stops

- The majority issued an emergency order with no full explanation, weakening prior protections against broad profiling.
Kavanaugh Concurrence Versus Sotomayor Dissent
- Kavanaugh's concurrence defended ICE profiling by citing regional undocumented percentages and questioned plaintiffs' standing.
- Sotomayor warned this rationale permits stopping large numbers of lawful residents and minimizes detention harms.
Fix Policy, Not Just Enforcement Tactics
- Improve immigration policy through Congress to reduce reliance on mass enforcement raids.
- Emily Bazelon recommends comprehensive reform rather than expanded executive profiling powers.
