The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court earlier this month to stay a federal judge’s order that had limited immigration agents in the Los Angeles area from stopping, questioning and detaining people based on factors that included their “apparent ethnicity,” language and place of work.

Slobbering on the syphilytic knob of his orange master as usual

Burrito Supreme Court
