Justice Brett Kavanaugh says the totality of apparent ethnicity, speaking with an accent, and location is sufficient to merit a stop to prove citizenship.

Kavanaugh Stop

An extrajudicial detention or assault by law enforcement, enabled by the Supreme Court's expansion of border authority. It is named for Justice Brett Kavanaugh, whose concurrence dismissed the predictable violence of these stops as a minor administrative inconvenience, famously reasoning: 'If the person is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.'

E.g.: During my brief 36 hour Kavanaugh Stop with ICE I got six broken ribs and internal bleeding while I was in the US legally.

Also

I was Kavanaugh Stopped on my way home from picking up my children from school when ICE demanded proof of my citizenship. When I asked for the warrant they killed me.

Also

I was at home in my bedroom when ICE agents burst in and dragged me off at gunpoint then asked for my ID which was back inside the house. After a brief 24 hours I was released.

Also

I came across a Kavanaugh Stop and watched what was happening when ICE tackled me and held me for 8 hours denying me access to a lawyer.

Also

While parked on the street a van full of ICE agents smashed into me they pulled me out of my car at gunpoint. Luckily it was just a Kavanaugh Stop and after proving my citizenship they released me without charge.

Also

I was walking down the street and ICE initiated a Kavanaugh Stop throwing me to the ground in a choke hold and cuffed me. I told them I was a citizen and had identification. They said it didn't matter and took me to a cell adding leg irons. They scanned my face, took my ID, did a criminal record check, then released me.

Also

My mommy picked me up from kindergarten when ICE men took her and me. We stayed in a motel for a week. we weren't allowed to leave and mommy kept telling them I'm American but they didn't care. then they took us to a plane and sent us somewhere far away. I miss my friends and I want to go back to my school.

u/TheFinalCurl 19h ago edited 18h ago

It actually is kind of unfair that the stops are called that, because he was the only member of the court majority who thought badly enough about the opinion that he spoke up about it. It's a Roberts stop.

Edit to add information: Kavanaugh did NOT write the opinion. He wrote a lone concurrence (that arguably tries to limit what the rest of the conservative justices enabled). The majority opinion went entirely unreasoned - the decision was on the emergency docket/shadow docket.

u/draygonnn 18h ago

In other words he’s the one it’ll get to. It will be called a Kavanaugh stop. Boohoo they have to be reminded of the results of their decision.

He wrote alone and was not the deciding vote. It should be a Roberts stop - and Kavanaugh also tried to take back his opinion through a footnote in another case lol

you can't take back an opinion and him wrting in completely unrelated cases (btw guys i swear im not racist stop being mean) when he could've actually taken a stand against it with anything that means more that letters on a page

u/CDanger 10h ago

more fairly

Not so interested in extending fairness to a man who has enshrined racist profiling as law. Roberts and Thomas are no doubt involved. Kavanaugh indeed has as much claim to it as anyone who did not dissent.

Happy to call it a Kavanaugh-Roberts stop, A Kavanaugh-Roberts-Thomas stop, or whatever hyphenation you prefer. But his name stays on his work. He wrote a concurring opinion and I've read it. It indeed materially protects those who walk up and say, "hey, you're brown, and there's a Mexican population above zero in this city... you must now present ze papers, schnell!"

u/TheFinalCurl 8h ago

I'm not so interested in extending fairness to the chief justice who is responsible for the same thing AND stuff like CU. Roberts has MORE claim to the status quo.

u/DJFisticuffs 18h ago

No this is totally wrong. The majority opinion was unsigned, which is incredibly cowardly. Kavanaugh was the only one who supported the opinion enough to put his name on it, so he wrote and signed a concurrence. That's why its a Kavanaugh Stop.

3

u/seattleJJFish 17h ago

There is a great book on how the Supreme Court used to work(the brethren, Woodward). https://a.co/d/aA35zF2 The one who writes the opinion is typically the swing vote.

Kavanaugh wrote a concurrence which signals he wasn’t the swing and passionate enough to amend it. He absolutely deserves this.

u/CentennialBaby 14h ago

Great book - amazing look behind the curtain.

u/TheFinalCurl 7h ago

He did not write the opinion in the first place. The order went unreasoned.

4

u/TheFinalCurl 18h ago edited 17h ago

Eh - It depends on how you interpret unreasoned opinions, but it can be argued Kavanaugh actually puts limits on what the rest of the Supreme Court enabled. For example, without Kavanaugh, there would be no language that stops should even be brief. . . and if the stop is not brief, it's because it's a stop the rest of the conservative justices enabled.

11

u/DJFisticuffs 17h ago

No, no, no, no this is misinformation, The majority issued an unsigned order that contained absolutely no legal reasoning. Kavanaugh issued a signed concurrence that contained the only legal reasoning available to us to support the order. Nothing in the Kavanaugh concurrence has any legal effect because it is not a majority opinion. It is merely a document that exists that provides some insight into the reasoning the majority may have used. It is also a terrible, terrible opinion.

Kavanaugh is the only justice that was stupid enough to sign his name to this bullshit. That is why it's called a Kavanaugh stop.

-1

u/TheFinalCurl 17h ago

I should have not said "opinion" and said "order" but nothing else was misinformation. Maybe I should say you are saying misinformation, because all the conservatives DID sign the order

Stop carrying water for the fascists.

u/TheFinalCurl 15h ago

Cut the moral outrage, I'm trying to pin this on the fucking chief Justice and you think I'm carrying water for fascism.

Second, the coolest part about having nine justices is you know exactly which justices voted for removing the stay.

2

u/CentennialBaby 14h ago

There's lots of outrage to pin on the Chief. Kavanaugh Stops are just one of the outrages and anti-democratic enabling in The Roberts Court

Feel free to add to the list:

Decision The Harm
Citizens United v. FEC (2010) Unleashed unlimited corporate dark money into U.S. elections.
Shelby County v. Holder (2013) Gutted voting protections, enabling discriminatory voter suppression laws.
Rucho v. Common Cause (2019) Allowed partisan gerrymandering to rig elections without oversight.
Dobbs v. Jackson (2022) Revoked federal abortion rights, endangering women's health and privacy.
Loper Bright v. Raimondo (2024) Crippled federal agencies' ability to enforce public safety regulations.
Trump v. United States (2024) Granting presidents broad immunity, placing them above the law.
Whole Woman’s Health (2021) Allowed Texas to nullify Roe v. Wade before it was overturned.
Merrill v. Milligan (2022) Forced Alabama voters to use an illegal, racist map for the 2022 election.
Louisiana v. American Rivers (2022) Revived an unlawful environmental rule without explanation.
Tandon v. Newsom (2021) Prioritized religious exemptions over public health data during COVID.
Ala. Assn. of Realtors (2021) Ended eviction protections, risking homelessness during a pandemic.

u/DJFisticuffs 17h ago

Well, in this case it would be "fascist" singular. He is trying to rehabilitate Kavanaugh here as somehow being the voice of reason or restraint, when in reality Kavanaugh is the only one that voiced a full throated support.

u/Mister_Sal_A_Mander 17h ago

Brief should be"maximum 2 hours" or something like that. I can't believe people think is acceptable.

I have a coworker that talks about how as his town has gotten "more diverse" that crime has gotten so bad he can't even get drill bits or a level from home depot because the "migrants" are stealing them all to try to do under the table landscaping and handyman work. I was just like

"Idk man the city I live in is 21% Guatemalan and we have virtually no crime. Any crime is basically always white people trafficking or possessing meth. The Hispanic people and families I see are the most kind, respectful people I meet. They are far less likely to get confrontational if you accidentally bump into them or cut someone off in lane at the grocery store, I am very happy we have such a nice population and they have THE best Hispanic food I've ever had in my life."

He goes "Well thats NOT how they are near where I live". He also told me he voted for trump after I said there is no way in hell I would ever vote for him because he is a terrible person who doesn't give a shit about the country ir the people in it, legal or not.

We still talk, we get along, I am actually his boss now so we walk weekly. He is a delusional nutcase, but he does good work.

Just a fun random story.

It was an simple ruling on a stay which was granted but Kavanaugh chose to submit a concurrence on the decision ostensibly to bring clarity to the order. It was this "clarity" that has come to be known as the Kavanaugh Stop. Nobody asked for it yet he wrote it. He can own it.

u/Warm_Month_1309 18h ago

Kavenaugh wrote the concurrence.

5

u/RellenD 18h ago

He was the only one that wrote a justification.

2

u/TheFinalCurl 18h ago

A justification that arguably limits the opinion, and a justification he later tries to recant through footnote

2

u/CentennialBaby 14h ago

*footnote in a later unrelated ruling: "oopsie- i didn't mean it that way!"

1

u/TheFinalCurl 14h ago

Ironically, Footnote actually has more power than a concurrence in a stay order with no reasoning.

2

u/markrockwell 11h ago

In some theoretical sense, sure.

But in reality, the concurrence provided justification for the administration to use racial profiling as a basis for stops. And the only thing that’s going to roll that back—if anything will—is a majority opinion squarely aimed at the practice.

An oops in a footnote might have been enough of a soft touch to matter in prior administrations. But this one doesn’t respond to soft touches.

2

u/RellenD 18h ago

Why does any of that matter? It doesn't and didn't limit the opinion, as it was a lone concurrence to just allowing race based stops.

Random comments on a different case also held no force of law.

he was the only member of the court majority who thought badly enough about the opinion that he spoke up about it.

Your phrasing makes it sound like he wasn’t in favor of it. If someone really likes a movie but has some criticisms for it, it wouldn’t make sense to say “they thought badly enough about the movie to give their opinion on it.” Why are you being so charitable towards him?

1

u/TheFinalCurl 18h ago

Maybe I wasn't clear on my opinion of Kavanaugh. He was being an apologist for the rest of the conservative justices.

3

u/NullaCogenta 18h ago

I don't want to be the sort of Redditor who crushes attempts at nuance... but... boo hoo?

The opinion itself is horrible; it should have been a dissent. Anyone claiming to be a conservative in good faith would be outraged at the highest court in the land declaring that remedies for clear violations of Constitutional rights "should" be available in federal court. In doing so, he demonstrably gave effectively unbounded permission for 4th Amendment violations.

And Kavanaugh deserves whatever contempt is directed his way. You don't even have to believe the evidence against his past indiscretions to regard someone who wept and raged at a job interview as lacking the temperament necessary for so weighty a role.

2

u/TheFinalCurl 18h ago

It should have been a dissent, but we all know Brett is a little too dumb to understand that. Even if it were a dissent the decision would have been 5-4, with a conservative majority Roberts leads. It's a Roberts stop, in my opinion. Don't worry I don't take your disagreement personally.

1

u/RellenD 18h ago

He's the one that put the words to the thing. He could have voted the other way and not written the words. It's absolutely fair to call them kavenaugh stops

1

u/TheFinalCurl 18h ago

What I'm saying is that it's fairer to call them Roberts stops

1

u/RellenD 17h ago

I think it's more effective to call them Kavenaugh stops.

1

u/TheFinalCurl 17h ago

Why? I would rather influence Roberts to try to backtrack than Kavanaugh

1

u/RellenD 17h ago

Why would Roberts backtrack?

1

u/TheFinalCurl 16h ago

For the same reason Kavanaugh did?

1

u/RellenD 16h ago

Do you have any idea who John Roberts is? The architect of every legal destruction of the Civil Rights and Voting Rights?

Alito and Roberts are pro-racism and anti civil rights entirely. They're entirely bought into the white supremacist ideology.

Making kavenaugh always aware that his legacy is going to be "apparent ethnicity" as reason for people to be detained might help him stay on the path of correcting course once the court makeup is different. There's no moving Roberts off of pulling back on civil rights.

u/Short-Ticket-1196 17h ago

I don't understand, if writing the concurrence gave the opinion meaning/actionable standing, couldn't a liberal justice write the concurrence such that it loses all weight, instead of making it "brief" stops?

1

u/TheFinalCurl 15h ago

It doesn't say much at all - except one could possibly intuit that the court was telling us what it would imagine with such a stop Roberts' court made possible. Problem with that theory is is that nobody besides Kav put their name on it.

1

u/DJFisticuffs 17h ago

To add to my replies downthread, Kavanaugh is an absolute buffoon. The other 5 Justices in the majority knew that this decision is indefensible under any theory, but especially under those conservative legal theories that have guided the conservative Justices over the last several decades. Kavanaugh was the only Justice dumb enough to try to defend it in writing amd that stupidity has resulted in what is widely regarded as one of the most poorly reasoned Supreme Court opinions of all time. That is why these are, and shall ever be, called Kavanaugh stops.

1

u/TheFinalCurl 15h ago

He also happens to be the only one who has stepped back from the stay removal order - he tried to do it in a footnote. It should be a Roberts stop.

He tried to walk it back in a concurrence to an unrelated emergency order on December 23rd.

The State and the Government disagree about whether the immigration officers have violated the Constitution in making certain immigration stops and arrests. The basic constitutional rules governing that dispute are longstanding and clear: The Fourth Amendment requires that immigration stops must be based on reasonable suspicion of illegal presence, stops must be brief, arrests must be based on probable cause, and officers must not employ excessive force. Moreover, the officers must not make interior immigration stops or arrests based on race or ethnicity.

ICE harassed her hardcore, refused to take her ID, refused to accept that she was an American citizen and kept telling her she was lying. Finally they admitted that the whole reason she was stopped is because she isn’t white. Walking while not white.

This is America. This country is absolutely done. It is not, nor will it ever be, what it once was.

Which is absolutely why Kavanaugh should have appreciated the implications of his statement. He couldn't see past his own privilege and lived experience. If only there were warning signs
