Trump administration urges Supreme Court to allow divisive ICE patrols in California
Donald Trump Supreme Court Immigration Federal agenciesFacebookTweetLink Follow President Donald Trump's administration urged the Supreme Court on Thursday to allow immigration enforcement officials to continue what critics describe as 'roving patrols' in Southern California that lower courts said likely violated the 4th Amendment. At issue were a series of incidents in which masked and heavily armed Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulled aside people who identify as Latino – including some US citizens – around Los Angeles to interrogate them about their immigration status. Lower courts found that the agency likely had not established the 'reasonable suspicion' required to justify those stops. A US District Court last month ordered the Department of Homeland Security to discontinue the practice if the stops were based largely on a person's apparent ethnicity, language or their presence at a particular location, such as a farm or bus stop. The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals largely upheld that decision, which applied only to seven central California counties. The Trump administration urged the high court to block that decision as it continues to aggressively crack down on illegal immigration. 'No one thinks that speaking Spanish or working in construction always creates reasonable suspicion,' the Justice Department told the Supreme Court. 'But in many situations, such factors – alone or in combination – can heighten the likelihood that someone is unlawfully present in the United States.' Immigration agents, the Justice Department said, should be 'entitled to rely on these factors when ramping up enforcement of immigration laws.' Five individuals and three immigration advocacy groups sued over the patrols. The case is the latest of nearly two dozen emergency appeals the administration has filed at the Supreme Court since Trump began his second term in January. Many of those have dealt with Trump's immigration policies. The Supreme Court will likely deal with the emergency appeal in the next several weeks. In siding against Trump, US District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong said the administration was attempting to convince the court 'in the face of a mountain of evidence' that none of the plaintiffs' claim's were true. Frimpong, appointed by President Joe Biden, said in her ruling that the court needed to decide whether the plaintiffs could prove that the Trump administration 'is indeed conducting roving patrols without reasonable suspicion and denying access to lawyers.' 'This court decides – based on all the evidence presented – that they are,' Frimpong wrote. In its appeal Thursday, the administration argued lower courts weighing the case had flouted the Supreme Court's decision in late June that limited the ability of lower courts to issue sweeping orders blocking a president's agenda. 'Rather than limiting relief to the named respondents, the court enjoined the government as to any detentive stops of anyone among the 20 million inhabitants of the Central District of California – whether those stops affect respondents or not,' the administration said. But the 9th Circuit concluded that Frimpong's decision was in bounds. To start with, the appeals court said, the geographic impact Frimpong's order was limited. It also only incidentally affected the non-named parties, the court reasoned. And any other outcome, the appeals court wrote, would be unworkable. 'How would a federal agent who is about to detain a person whose identity is not known,' the court asked, 'discern in advance whether that person is on the list of individuals' who sued.

White House signals increase in federal law enforcement in D.C., after Trump threatens federal takeover
The Trump administration soon plans to increase federal law enforcement in Washington, D.C., following the alleged assault of former Department of Government Efficiency staffer Edward Coristine over the weekend; the incident prompted outrage from the president himself. After the alleged attack on the ex-DOGE staffer, President Trump on Wednesday said in a Truth Social post that he might put the District of Columbia under federal control if the city doesn't "get its act together, and quickly." "If this continues, I am going to exert my powers, and FEDERALIZE this City," he wrote. District of Columbia residents can expect to see an increase in federal enforcement starting as early as Friday, a White House official told CBS News. Three sources briefed on the D.C. deployment said the additional officers will come from the D.C. National Guard, FBI, U.S. Marshals, ICE, U.S. Secret Service and additional components of the Department of Homeland Security. One source added that officials from the relevant law enforcement agencies met Thursday to review plans for deployment. Overnight Wednesday, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser was notified of an increased federal law enforcement presence in the nation's capital, and she approved the request by the White House to put additional officers on the streets, according to an official in the mayor's office. But otherwise, there's been little to no coordination between the Metropolitan Police Department and federal law enforcement, a D.C. police source said. The agency has not been notified about what the increase in law enforcement might look like across the nation's capital, according to the source. The department has been hamstrung by Congress since House Republicans refused in June to consider a measure to restore hundreds of millions of dollars of its funding. There's currently a hiring freeze for D.C. Police professional staff and restrictions on overtime for officers. Asked by CBS News about the plans to increase federal law enforcement D.C., the District's U.S. Attorney, Jeanine Pirro, expressed uncertainty about any impending changes but said, "My understanding is that both the Trump administration and the Metropolitan Police Department are looking to increase law enforcement efforts because of the violence we're seeing across this … city." Pressed further by a reporter, she added that it was "a decision for the president." "Young people are being coddled," Pirro said. "They need to be held accountable. They shouldn't be going to arts and crafts in D.C. family court." Pirro also made reference to a 19-year-old who had used an illegal gun to fire shots on a Metrobus and was subsequently charged and sentenced to parole. "All I want to do is clean up D.C. That's why the president put me here," Pirro said. "And youth crime is on the rise." Pirro also mentioned that four years ago, her office had handled 150,000 cases of youth violence. "We now have nearly half a million," she said. A White House official told CBS News that the increase in federal law enforcement in D.C. is in compliance with President Trump's "Making the District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful" executive order signed on March 28, and is part of fulfilling his campaign promise to make America safe again. That executive order said federal law enforcement officers could be deployed in D.C., in areas around the National Mall and Memorial Parks, museums, monuments, Lafayette Park, Union Station, Rock Creek Park, Anacostia Park, the George Washington Memorial Parkway, the Suitland Parkway, and the Baltimore-Washington Parkway. Federal law enforcement and National Park Services have, according to the order, already been used to arrest undocumented immigrants, and remove homelessness encampments in the District. In 2023, there was a sharp increase in crime in the nation's capital, making D.C. one of America's deadliest cities. In response, Congress even blocked revisions to Washington, D.C.'s criminal code for the first time in 31 years, in March 2023. But violent crime in D.C. has tapered off, decreasing since the start of 2024; it's part of a larger nationwide drop in murder rates that has hit its lowest level in decades. D.C Police data show assaults with a dangerous weapon are down 19% year-to-date compared with 2024, while robberies have fallen by 39 percent, compared to last year. In 2025, there have also been 14 fewer homicides to date – a drop of 12%, compared to the same period last year. Still, 98 people have been killed citywide so far this year — including a congressional intern, killed by a stray bullet on a downtown street, and two Israeli embassy staffers gunned down in May. The alleged assault on Coristine was just last week. CBS News has reached out to the U.S. Park Police, U.S. Secret Service, ICE, CBP, FBI Washington Field Office, Federal Protective Services and DC National Guard for comment. D.C. Police said in a statement that "MPD collaborates with federal law enforcement every single day. There are numerous federal agencies with law enforcement authority in the District of Columbia and seamlessly work together day to day and have for years."Jacob Rosen contributed to this report.
