The ruling in federal court in Minnesota lands as Immigration and Customs Enforcement faces scrutiny over an internal memo claiming judge-signed warrants aren’t needed to enter homes without consent.
A federal judge in Minnesota ruled last Saturday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents violated the Fourth Amendment after they forcibly entered a Minnesota man’s home without a judicial warrant.
The conduct of the agents closely mirrors a previously undisclosed ICE directive that claims agents are permitted to enter people’s homes using an administrative warrant, rather than a warrant signed by a judge.
The ruling, issued by US District Court judge Jeffrey Bryan in response to a petition for a writ of habeas corpus on January 17, did not assess the legality of ICE’s internal guidance itself. But it squarely holds that federal agents violated the United States Constitution when they entered a residence without consent and without a judge-signed warrant—the same conditions ICE leadership has privately told officers is sufficient for home arrests, according to a complaint filed by Whistleblower Aid, a nonprofit legal group representing whistleblowers from the public and private sector.
They failed and we sent thousands of people involved in the conspiracy to prison. Elsewhere the systems of elections and government withstood every attempt the Trump administration to change things. The systems worked.
You’re promoting the idea that those system are going to fail and therefore we should not even try and, instead we should <vague plan, but violence>.
There is no evidence of that outside of the incessant fear mongering on social media that you are taking part in.
The Judicial system has restrained Trump time and time again and the only reason there are not more widespread rulings is because the only entity with standing to sue the administration (the Legislative branch) is being held paralyzed by a very tiny group of people in Congress and those people are up for re-election.
Those people can be voted out and Congress has both the standing to sue and compel the Executive branch via court orders and the ability to impeach and remove Executive or Judicial branch members.
Let’s hear your plan, take me through the steps of how you see this issue solved in a way that is more sure than the system that we’ve used for centuries.
