ICE says its officers can forcibly enter homes during immigration operations without judicial warrants: 2025 memo

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

An internal Immigration and Customs Enforcement document in May shows that ICE told officers and agents they can forcibly enter homes of people subject to deportation without warrants signed by judges.

The memo, dated May 12, which reads that it is from ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons, was shared with Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., by two whistleblowers.

It says ICE agents are allowed to forcibly enter a person’s home using an administrative warrant if a judge has issued a “final order of removal.” Administrative warrants permit officers and agents to make arrests and are different from judicial warrants, which judges or magistrates sign allowing entry into homes.

Lyons notes in the document that detaining people “in their residences” based solely on administrative warrants is a change from past procedures.

1. I dunno, can Constitutional rights just be dismissed via memo?

That sounds fishy.

4. The video's I have seen on TV news,

ICE agents always knock on door several times, and if no one opens the front door, then they smash the door in.
They are welcome to knock on my door. I have my passport handy.

2. They might regret running smack into an armed citizen

Using his or her 2 amendment to protect their 4th amendment, So many of these fake ICE agents its hard to tell who is or is not a criminal.

3. ABOLISH ICE

It's for their own good. They're going to break down a door at some point and meet a 2nd Amendment person
