The Trump administration filed an emergency application with the Supreme Court late on Aug. 7, asking the court to suspend a lower court order restricting immigration stops in Southern California.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) started its operations in the Los Angeles area on June 6. Local and state officials have strongly criticized the effort, saying the federal government is overstepping its legal authority. Several illegal immigrant advocacy groups are suing the Trump administration over the enforcement program.
