Being Latino and speaking Spanish is not probative of anything but being Latino and speaking Spanish
The only way the Court could conclude otherwise is if it thinks being Latino is incompatible with innocence

To put this into context, the judicial warrant for the search at the Hyundai plant named just four people.
Relying on that warrant, ICE detained nearly 500 people. DHS admitted that included U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and people lawfully here on visas.

Just listened, via Morning Edition, as a woman with learning disabilities broke down crying while recounting how ICE agents racially profiled her in Washington, D.C.
Even brief questioning — especially by unidentified agents with sidearms and mask — can be traumatic, Brett.

Sotomayor: “yet an-other grave misuse of our emergency docket. We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent.”
SCOTUS says racial profiling is constitutional, at least when Trump admin does it during roving, aggressive, astonishing immigration enforcement in LA -- where a district court found fed officers were arresting Brown people for ... speaking Spanish.

We’re sorry* the government secreted you away to a foreign torture prison, but you used the wrong heading on your paperwork, so there’s nothing we can do about it. Best of luck not being renditioned before you can file a new complaint!

The majority writing that individuals need due process and notice and an opportunity to file a habeas petition is nice. But it reads to me as partially designed to take the sting off the majority’s brutal order - while not altering its horrifying substance all that much.
