In recent days, an internal ICE document has been leaked that has raised alarms in immigrant communities across the country. The memo suggests that ICE agents could attempt to enter homes without a warrant signed by a judge, relying solely on an administrative warrant.

ICE cannot give itself permission to enter people's homes, just as police officers cannot write their own warrants. An ICE memo does not change the Constitution or overturn court decisions. All the memo does is tell us what ICE is trying to get away with doing.<\/p>\n

What does this mean in practice? <\/strong><\/h5>\n

Although it is not legal, we expect ICE agents to follow this memo and enter homes without a judicial warrant or consent. We also know that ICE agents are armed and willing to use violence and lethal force to make arrests. This has included:<\/p>\n
