Sept. 8 (UPI) -- The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday overturned a lower court's rulings blocking federal immigration officials from conducting raids in California seen by critics as unconstitutional racial profiling.
The high court voted 6-3 in favor of lifting temporary restraining orders preventing Immigration and Customs Enforcement from carrying out the raids.
"This is a win for the safety of Californians and the rule of law," Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin of the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, said in a statement.
"DHS law enforcement will not be slowed down and will continue to arrest and remove the murderers, rapists, gang members and other criminal illegal aliens that Karen Bass continues to give safe harbor."
