Dear Friends,

On September 8, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court lifted a temporary restraining order that had barred federal agents in Los Angeles from stopping people based solely on their race, ethnicity, language, or type of work. The ruling reopens the door to racial profiling—a practice with a long and painful history in the U.S. From Jim Crow policing to Japanese internment camps, the Zoot Suit riots, and New York’s stop-and-frisk era, communities of color have repeatedly been treated as suspects first and citizens second.

Today, millions of Latinos and immigrants—citizens and non-citizens alike—face the immediate risk of being stopped or questioned simply for “looking or sounding” a certain way. For civil rights and democracy advocates, the Court’s decision underscores what history already tells us: unless checked by Congress, state leaders, and the courts, racial profiling will continue to erode both individual freedoms and the nation’s promise of equal protection under law.
