Following the shooting death of an unarmed U.S. citizen by an ICE agent, Vice President JD Vance announced that ICE would begin “door to door” operations across the country to escalate mass deportations. This announcement came amidst reports of a significantly increased ICE budget, a “wartime recruitment” strategy, and the administration’s intention to strip citizenship from a large number of naturalized citizens. Despite the killing of a U.S. citizen, the administration has doubled down on its commitment to mass deportations, raising concerns about Fourth Amendment rights and racial profiling. The administration’s rhetoric, coupled with actions, has instilled fear and led to increased scrutiny of citizenship documentation.

The REAL ID Act, enacted in 2005, aimed to establish uniform standards for state IDs for security purposes, yet the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) now considers it unreliable for confirming U.S. citizenship. This is despite REAL IDs requiring proof of citizenship for issuance. In a court filing, DHS admitted REAL IDs’ unreliability, and that agents may disregard the ID as proof of citizenship. This stance, revealed in response to a lawsuit regarding an instance of racial profiling, raises questions about the REAL ID’s effectiveness and its adherence to the Fourth Amendment.

The FBI spied on a private Signal group chat of immigrants’ rights activists who were organizing “courtwatch” efforts in New York City. Law enforcement records show the FBI gained access to a Signal group coordinating volunteers monitoring federal immigration court proceedings and labeled the court watchers as “anarchist violent extremist actors.” The FBI’s report, which did not clarify how they accessed the group or provide evidence of the “extremist” claims, was shared with other law enforcement agencies. Critics have condemned the surveillance, noting the non-violent nature of courtwatch efforts and likening the actions to past FBI overreach.

According to The Associated Press, the U.S. Border Patrol is operating a secretive surveillance program, monitoring millions of American drivers using license plate readers and predictive intelligence. This program analyzes travel patterns to identify and detain individuals deemed suspicious, often leading to aggressive questioning and searches based on pretextual traffic stops. The Border Patrol has expanded its reach beyond the border, collaborating with other agencies and utilizing AI, creating a mass surveillance network impacting people throughout the country. Civil liberties advocates raise concerns about the constitutionality of this program and its potential for abuse, as exemplified by cases where individuals were stopped and searched with no evidence of wrongdoing.

Leo Garcia Venegas, a U.S. citizen, is suing the Trump administration over warrantless construction site raids conducted by federal immigration agents. The lawsuit alleges that immigration officers target Latino workers without probable cause, violating Fourth Amendment rights.

The Institute for Justice, representing Venegas, argues that the Department of Homeland Security’s policies authorize these illegal actions, allowing agents to detain workers based on ethnicity and disregard evidence of citizenship. The lawsuit seeks to stop these “dragnet raids” and obtain damages for the constitutional violations.

The Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision, has allowed the Trump administration to use racial profiling in its immigration raids, overturning an injunction against targeting Latinos. Justice Sotomayor dissented, warning of the unconstitutional implications and potential for violence against Latinos, including U.S. citizens. This decision, made without explanation, impacts the “Operation at Large” in Los Angeles, which targeted individuals based on their ethnicity, language, and work, thereby violating Fourth Amendment protections. The court’s silence and Kavanaugh’s misrepresentation of the situation highlights the far-reaching consequences for those affected by these raids.

In a strongly worded dissent to the Supreme Court’s decision, Justice Sonia Sotomayor criticized the authorization of racial profiling by immigration agents, deeming it unconstitutional. She highlighted documented instances of physical force used by ICE agents in Los Angeles, who targeted individuals based on their appearance, language, and perceived profession. Sotomayor condemned the ruling, arguing it would subject countless individuals to unjust treatment, and directly challenged Justice Kavanaugh’s characterization of the ICE raids. Furthermore, Sotomayor asserted that the decision wrongly placed the burden on citizens to prove their legal status, effectively creating a second-class citizenship, in violation of the Fourth Amendment.
