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 literally just killed someone again today… it’s not doomerism to see that this administration ignores the law…the fuck have you been.
They?
The ICE officers who killed a man today are not the same people as the US Justice Department lawyers involved in the lawsuits mentioned in the OP.
Two things can be true at once.
They, the ICE officers, killed a man today because they’re untrained white supremacists who are given license to do violence under the color of law.
They, the US Department of Justice, have been court ordered to do things like end the National Guard Deployment and return Garcia to the US and they have complied.
They… being the DOJ were also ordered to release the Epstein files…and they… aren’t.
Stop acting like rule of law is being followed here. It’s not, strongly worded judgements aren’t stopping the fascist.
Oh, I didn’t know that. Please provide the link the court order where a judge ordered this and I will retract my statement.

The fuck are you talking about. Congress passed this and the turnip signed it…and the DOJ has said naa fuck you.
That is a law, not a court order. Laws are written by Legislative branch and court orders are written by the Judicial branch.
The law defines a date when the documents should be released but also, conveniently, did not include any penalties or enforcement mechanisms. They are in violation of the law, a law that was written with no penalty for violation.
There has not been a court case about enforcing this law, if there was then a court order would be written and, then, if they decided to ignore it then you would have a point.
A law and a court order are documents from two completely different branches of government.
Bro judges have no power anymore. None of their orders have been enforced by legal officers. They just hand out verbal warnings. They have literally 0 power.
No power?
If the judges have no power then why is Abrego Garcia not in CECOT? Why are there not National Guard soldiers in California?
That’s only the high profile cases, the cases regarding funding and people’s firings being overturned don’t make the news.
Here’s all of the court cases involving the Trump administration: https://www.lawfaremedia.org/projects-series/trials-of-the-trump-administration/tracking-trump-administration-litigation as you can see the vast majority of them are Trump losing and then losing on Appeal.
If they can ignore it so can we
