Immigration officers assert power to enter homes without a warrant

So, face masks, no IDs, no badges, no real warrant, no reasonable probable cause, and no due process, what could possibly go wrong?

It seems to be the status quo already. ICE operates without regard to warrants and with amateur hour levels of force:

The courts are way behind in all this pretending that they're just allegations of bad acts and covering their eyes.

Very clearly unconstitutional. But that only matters if the people/belongings they apprehended actually get a trial. So their solution is to just skip all that and deport immediately, with or without probable cause.

It also only matters if the courts choose to get involved and the immigration folks choose to comply.

No sure thing an that.

The current administration is post constitution. That (“post constitution”) is a big part of the project 2025 ideology, and you can look up what’s been said on this topic before. It’s not something that they view as a law that limits them but more like an annoyance in their way. So an assertion that a constitutional right doesn’t matter is completely in line with their strategy. Every violation is a way to normalize this until it’s legal.

I completely agree and the fact that they’re even able to do that at all means the United States is a failed experiment

Since when did ICE become SS?

Exactly a year ago.

These people claim to be Christian.

Someone should remind them what’s waiting on the other side as they break down citizens’ doors, abduct shoeless seniors and children in freezing weather, terrorize schools and churches, blind incapacitated protesters with pepper spray, and shoot observers in the head. All with a smirk on their concealed faces.

Fill title that would not fit on HN:

Immigration officers assert sweeping power to enter homes without a judge’s warrant, memo says

The full title is missing context, too: it’s a leaked secret memo intentionally concealed by ICE/DHS.

Whatever you call it, all these threads will be flagged.

HN'ers are committed to willfully ignoring the US government's slide into facism.
