Sacramento, CA – Today, the Supreme Court issued a ruling, allowing this federal administration to resume "roving patrols." This ruling came as a surprise, given constitutional precedent about racial profiling, the State Action Doctrine, and the Equal Protection Clause.
"Government-sanctioned oppression — that's what today's Supreme Court ruling unleashes," said Assemblymember González (D-Los Angeles). "This wannabe king and his allies didn't just overturn a judge's common-sense order — they shredded the constitutional protections that are supposed to shield us from government overreach and racism. This ruling gives ICE a green light to hunt people down based on the color of their skin, the language they speak, or where they work."
"This ruling puts millions of citizens and immigrants under suspicion simply for existing. That's not law and order — that's discrimination wearing the mask of justice. This ruling denies our communities the equal dignity and protection they deserve."
Since June 6th, President Trump has authorized military-style raids that have upended our communities. These raids are racially motivated, with citizens and immigrants alike being detained in roving patrols of secret agents with rifles.
Assemblymember Mark González is the Assembly Majority Whip. He represents the 54th Assembly District composed of the cities of Los Angeles, Commerce, Montebello, and Vernon.
