It means the racial profiling got a rubber stamp, and “we will figure out the legality later.”
No one is saying they determined it was legal. They simply hand waved the issue in the short term.
Think of it like this. If cops started arresting people for saying “I don’t like cheese” and the cases got to the Supreme Court, and they said “nah it’s all good keep doing it until we hear arguments on it” that would be akin to what happened here.
I’m sorry that just isn’t how the legal system in this country works.
Even if the court said “come on stop it guys” it would have no legal force until it’s clearly established which is generally after finality ie. all appeals are exhausted or expired.
I’m sorry, what? Are you confused as to how things get to the Supreme Court? It’s here because of an appeal.
Lower courts said “yeah no, this shit is illegal, stop it” and the Supreme Court said “well we are going to look at this, so you can keep doing things the way you were until we do.”
The Supreme Court could also have said “well, we are going to look at this, so you have to stop until we do.”
Using your logic, they shouldn’t be doing it because a lower court ruled it illegal.
That is not the only way it gets to the supreme court, it’s a way. And yes, that would mean they are not exhausted and thusly it isn’t settled case law for most purposes.
Cool, and they could have issued an injunction, that isn’t typically a supreme court deal. The supreme court intentionally stays out of minor procedurals especially when they aren’t asked to.
That’s an injunction bud.
No, they shouldn’t be doing it because it’s immoral. No one was granted an injunction. Why are you upset about the supreme court not doing something it isn’t expected or intended to do.
I don’t know how else to explain to you that you are simply incorrect in this instance. Bottom line, the Supreme Court made a temporary ruling stating that ICE could continue to stop people based on racial profiling.
It’s not a temporary ruling. They’re allowing it to continue because no one secured an injunction.

Monday’s order by the Supreme Court puts Frimpong’s ruling on hold while the Trump administration’s appeals continue. In an opinion agreeing with the decision to grant the government’s request for a stay, Justice Brett Kavanaugh emphasized what he characterized as the narrow role of judges in immigration cases. Judges, he wrote, “may have views on which policy approach is better or fairer. But judges are not appointed to make those policy calls. We merely ensure,” he stressed, “that the Executive Branch acts within the confines of the Constitution and federal statutes.”
So, the part where they granted a stay… means nothing?
There didn’t need to be a injunction. The lower courts ruled it illegal. They were forced to stop. The Trump admin appealed, and the Supreme Court granted the Trump admin a stay until the appeal is heard. They were then allowed to continue.
Long story short, the Supreme Court allowed racial profiling to continue.
Why is this so difficult for you to understand? I’m genuinely confused on where your confusion is coming from.
Let me ask a question that might clear this up: Had the Supreme Court done literally nothing, would ICE be allowed to racially profile people?

That answer is no.
I’m sorry, did they say “no you have to stop” or did they say “yeah you can keep going” because only one of those happened.

Do literally 2 seconds of googling and you can confirm it: https://www.scotusblog.com/2025/09/supreme-court-allows-federal-officers-to-more-freely-make-immigration-stops-in-los-angeles/
Take a full minute and you might even find the actual order.
Split hairs on the wording all you want, the fact is that you’re just wrong.
It’s not a temporary ruling. They’re allowing it to continue because no one secured an injunction.
