The Spin

ICE's secret memo authorizing forced home entry with administrative warrants --— not judicial warrants --— violates Fourth Amendment protections and contradicts the agency's own training materials. This flagrant constitutional breach allows agents to kick down doors without a judge's approval, terrifying immigrant communities and undermining decades of established legal precedent.
