The Supreme Court has been forced, once again, to step in and overturn an injunction issued by a Biden-appointed lower court judge, this time in Los Angeles, where open-borders activists sought to ban virtually all immigration enforcement in Southern California. Justice Brett Kavanaugh took the unusual step of offering a concurrence shedding light on the majority’s opinion, a welcome practice to counter hysterical rhetoric from the Democratic Party and its media allies.

In June, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents began a systematic effort to remove illegal immigrants from the Los Angeles region, where it is estimated that 2 million of the area’s 20 million people are in the country illegally. This included serving warrants at garment factories in the fashion district and questioning suspected illegal immigrants at places of business known to employ illegal immigrants, including construction, landscaping, and car washes. Thousands of illegal immigrants were identified and arrested as a result.
