Justice Sonia Sotomayor on Monday blasted the Supreme Court's decision to lift restrictions on Los Angeles-area immigration stops based on criteria like speaking Spanish or working in a certain profession, calling the ruling “unconscionably irreconcilable with our Nation’s constitutional guarantees.”

"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," Sotomayor wrote in a dissenting opinion joined by the court's other two liberal justices, Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson.

"Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent," she said.

The high court's decision came after the Trump administration sought emergency intervention.
