ICE Memo Permits Agents to Enter Homes Without Warrant

A May memo from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) authorizes agents to enter homes of suspected undocumented individuals using administrative warrants, which are not signed by judges. Traditionally, ICE required judicial warrants for such entries, raising concerns from a whistleblower group about potential Fourth Amendment violations. The Department of Homeland Security defends the use of administrative warrants, stating they are legally valid. The memo’s secrecy has prompted calls for investigation, with critics arguing it undermines civil liberties.
