Summary

Following the Ninth Circuit’s denial as to the government’s stay (pause) request on the district court’s TROs—except as to one clause—the government elevated its request to the Supreme Court. On September 8, 2025, the Supreme Court granted the government’s stay request in yet another unreasoned, 6-3 vote along party lines. In doing so, it lifted restrictions put in place by Judge Frimpong that barred the Trump administration from carrying out roving immigration-related raids in the Los Angeles area based on broad criteria such as speaking Spanish or gathering at locations day laborers often congregate. As of now, the Trump administration may once again continue to engage in such raids while the case continues to play out in the court below.
