ICE agents have allegedly been told through a secret memo that they have the authority to enter homes without the need for a judicial warrant, according to a whistleblower group.
The memo, which was reportedly issued back in May, authorizes agents to enter the homes of those they suspect to be in the U.S. illegally with an administrative warrant according to ABC News. Unlike a judicial warrant, an administrative warrant is not issued by a judge, but rather the DHS, and in a majority of cases the warrant is authored by ICE agents themselves.
