Shame on Kavanaugh and the five other justices who sided with him for uncorking a deportation demon that will be hard to stop.

Writing for the liberal justices, Sotomayor called the order “unconscionable” and said it made Latinos throughout the region “fair game.”

He also decried what he described as the Supreme Court’s increasing reliance on its emergency docket, which he said often obscures the justices’ decision-making.

The liberal justices dissented, saying the decision puts constitutional freedoms at risk.

In March, the justices rejected a bid from the president to keep $2bn in foreign aid frozen while the case moved forward.
