@sacramentourbanmedia916: Federal immigration agents are claiming far broader authority to enter private homes without a judge’s approval, according to an internal Immigration and Customs Enforcement memo obtained by The Associated Press, signaling a major break from long-standing guidance designed to comply with constitutional limits on searches. The memo instructs ICE officers that they may use force to enter a residence based only on an administrative arrest warrant for someone with a final deportation order. Advocates say this position conflicts with Fourth Amendment protections and overturns years of advice given to immigrant communities about their rights during enforcement actions. The policy shift comes amid a dramatic escalation of immigration arrests under the Trump administration, which has sent thousands of officers into communities nationwide as part of a sweeping deportation push. Cities such as Minneapolis are already seeing changes in how enforcement operations are carried out. For decades, immigrant rights groups, legal organizations and local governments have consistently advised residents not to open their doors to immigration agents unless presented with a warrant signed by a judge. That guidance reflects Supreme Court rulings that generally bar law enforcement from entering homes without judicial authorization. The ICE memo directly challenges that principle at a moment when enforcement activity is intensifying#fyp #viral
