This stipulation, combined with the 1967 decision Pierson v. Ray, which gave the police qualified immunity, set the stage for the Supreme Court’s recent controversial decision. In September, the Supreme Court struck down down this injection, allowing the ICE profiling to resume. The Supreme Court’s denial is an endorsement of racial profiling in the guise of “common sense,” as Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh explained it. His framing ignores the lived reality that “reasonable suspicion” has never been applied evenly to communities of color. This Trump-era Supreme Court is systematically dismantling generations of civil rights safeguards.
