Complete details about this extracted claim.

Claim Text: Although the government pointed to Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's concurring opinion in a ruling last year that allowed brief immigration stops based on factors like ethnicity and occupation, Beaverstock wrote that Kavanaugh's opinion in fact supported Venegas, since his detention wasn't brief and continued long after he'd produced evidence of citizenship.
Simplified Text: Judge Liles C. Burke wrote that Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's concurring opinion in a ruling from 2025, which allowed brief immigration stops based on factors like ethnicity and occupation, supported Venegas' case because Venegas' detention was not brief and continued after he produced evidence of citizenship.
