Start with the documented chain: what the federal operation was, what the district court restrained, what SCOTUS stayed, and then what later reporting says happened in Minneapolis during a separate enforcement surge.
Operation At Large (Los Angeles, June 2025)Operation At Large (Los Angeles, June 2025)
The Ninth Circuit describes “Operation At Large” as beginning June 6, 2025 in Los Angeles, involving federal “contact teams” conducting immigration encounters in public places and at worksites—locations such as carwashes.
Why a judge issued a TRO (July 2025)Why a judge issued a TRO (July 2025)
The district court issued a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) that prohibited detentive immigration stops without individualized reasonable suspicion.
And the “race/language” issue isn’t a speculation add-on. it's baked into what the Supreme Court papers discuss in describing the alleged stop factors and the injunction dispute (including apparent race/ethnicity and Spanish/accent as indicators in the contested enforcement pattern).
What SCOTUS did (Sept. 8, 2025)What SCOTUS did (Sept. 8, 2025)
SCOTUS granted the government’s application for a stay, meaning the July 11 TRO was put on hold pending appeal (and through cert proceedings if sought).
A stay is not a final merits ruling; it removes the district court’s immediate restraints while litigation continues.
Where deaths tie in: Alex Pretti + Renee Nicole Good (Minneapolis, separate surge)Where deaths tie in: Alex Pretti + Renee Nicole Good (Minneapolis, separate surge)
Separately from the LA TRO fight, recent reporting describes an enforcement surge in Minneapolis that resulted in the deaths of two U.S. citizens—Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good—and sparked intensifying scrutiny of DHS/Border Patrol leadership.
Reuters reports the Bovino shakeup in the context of political tensions after a deportation/enforcement campaign linked to two U.S.-citizen deaths in Minneapolis.
CBS also reports lawmakers seeking DOJ records about the killings of Pretti and Good amid heightened oversight.
The honest connection (and the honest limit)The honest connection (and the honest limit)
These events connect through the broader enforcement escalation and overlapping leadership context (including reporting about Gregory Bovino’s role and reassignment).
But the public record does not prove the Supreme Court’s stay caused any specific shooting, only that it removed the TRO’s immediate constraints while the case continued.
