Immigrant rights advocates have been moving across California to create a coalition of activist groups with hundreds of volunteers fanning out across car washes, Home Depots, and other frequently known locations that have become targets for federal enforcement agents.

The mass mobilization was ramped up following Monday’s Supreme Court ruling that allowed immigration agents to stop and detain anyone they suspect of being in the United States illegally. In a 6-3 vote, the justices granted an emergency appeal and lifted a Los Angeles judge’s order that prohibited “roving patrols” from picking up people off the streets based on how they look, the language they speak, where they work, or where they happen to be at the time.
