MIAMI – Household Motion Community Motion (FANM) strongly condemns right this moment’s Supreme Court ruling. This ruling granted the federal authorities’s request to remain a brief restraining order. It successfully permits the Division of Homeland Safety (DHS) and different federal businesses to proceed illegal racial profiling practices in immigration enforcement.
The order reverses two decrease court docket rulings in Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo. These rulings prohibited immigration brokers from concentrating on people based mostly solely on race, ethnicity, language, location, or occupation.
“It is a devastating setback for civil rights and human dignity in America,” stated Paul Christian Namphy, FANM’s political director. “The Supreme Court docket has chosen to facet with a system of racial profiling. This determination undermines our most elementary constitutional protections. Nobody needs to be stopped or detained due to the colour of their pores and skin, the language they converse, or the kind of work they do.”

“Immediately’s determination is an open invitation for extra discrimination and extra unlawful detentions,” Namphy stated. “Permitting ICE and DHS to function with out accountability takes us down a harmful path—one which resembles authoritarian regimes the place persons are simply taken by unidentified brokers. That’s not the America we consider in.”
Regardless of the setback, FANM vowed to proceed preventing for immigrant rights and constitutional protections.
