Скачать или смотреть Supreme Court lets agents detain by appearance alone

Breaking news: The Supreme Court, in a 6-3 emergency ruling, has lifted a lower court order and now allows federal agents to detain people based solely on skin color, language, or location. This decision marks a sharp departure from precedent, where rulings such as Brown v. Texas, Whren v. United States, and Arizona v. United States confirmed that appearance alone cannot justify detention under the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments.

Although this is only an emergency ruling, not a final decision on the merits, its impact could be enormous. The Court’s order leaves open the possibility that individuals may be stopped or detained based solely on appearance, without objective evidence. That could mean serious risks of wrongful detentions, constitutional violations, and potential deportations with devastating consequences.

This ruling raises critical questions about the balance between law enforcement powers and individual rights, and about the Court’s current approach to civil liberties.
