Today, September 8, 2025, the Supreme Court issued orders in two cases, lifting a temporary restraining order on immigration patrols in Los Angeles and allowing President Trump to fire a member of the Federal Trade Commission. In the immigration case, the Court's decision permits "roving patrols" while a legal challenge continues.
For the FTC, the ruling allows the President to disregard the reinstatement of Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter pending a full review of the case.
Key Decisions Today
Immigration Patrols in Los Angeles: The Supreme Court granted an emergency request from the Trump administration to lift a federal judge's order that had barred "roving patrols" by immigration officials in the Los Angeles area. The order was a temporary restraining order that had limited immigration officials from profiling people based on their appearance. The case will continue in lower courts.
FTC
Commissioner Dismissal: The Court allowed President Trump to fire FTC
Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter, a decision that had been found unlawful
by lower courts. This allows the President to disregard the reinstatement
while the Supreme Court decides whether to officially rule on the legality of
her firing.
Why These Rulings Matter
Immigration Patrols: The decision in the immigration case may increase the risk of danger for Californians who might be targeted based on their appearance. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) indicated its intention to continue pursuing a preliminary injunction in the case.
FTC Commissioner: The ruling has been criticized for expanding the President's power over independent agencies. This move appears to be another instance where the Supreme Court is granting the Trump administration unprecedented relief through unexplained orders, which could create uncertainty in the federal judiciary.
As of September 8, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court is in recess and has not issued any rulings today. The new term begins on October 6, 2025. However, the Court has issued emergency orders today that affect active cases.
Key
emergency orders issued today, September 8, 2025:
· Trump v.
Slaughter: Chief Justice John Roberts issued an emergency order allowing
President Trump to fire Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Commissioner Rebecca
Slaughter for now. The ruling pauses lower court decisions that had reinstated
Slaughter, pending further review by the Supreme Court.
· Trump immigration raids: The Court lifted restrictions on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in the Los Angeles area. The ruling blocks a lower court's order that found ICE raids targeting individuals based on broad criteria like speaking Spanish were likely unconstitutional. The decision was issued without a full explanation.

gender-affirming medical care for transgender minors.
