The judges, who were reportedly split 6-3 along ideological lines, placed on hold a federal district judge’s ruling that limited what critics dubbed “roving” sweeps by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The judge said that the practices were probably unconstitutional since agents were using stereotypes to stop people at car washes, bus stops, and Home Depot parking lots without good reason.

The majority of the high court did not explain why they agreed to the Trump administration’s emergency petition to stop the district judge’s ruling.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh, on the other hand, wrote separately in support of the ruling. He stated that it is appropriate to conduct brief interviews with individuals who meet several “common sense” criteria for being in the country illegally, including those who work in day labor or construction and do not speak English well.
