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.
I see, based on the comments, that the bots are pushing the
“It is hopeless, nothing can stop them, the law doesn’t matter, comply in advance, and <‘go do violence dogwhistles’>” messaging:
Ah yes, the court rulings don’t matter. That why the National Guard is still deployed in DC, because the administration ignored the judge, right? Kilmar Abrego Garcia is still in El Salvadore and not in the US, right?
We should also ignore then hundreds of cases where the Trump administration has lost: https://www.lawfaremedia.org/projects-series/trials-of-the-trump-administration/tracking-trump-administration-litigation …right?
Ignoring reality to push doomerism, pretty on-brand for idiots and bots.
Bondi was just forced by a judge to fire Trump’s hand picked attorney-babe, who was illegally handling cases for which she wasn’t qualified. She should be disbarred, and so should whoever appointed her.
They literally just killed someone again today… it’s not doomerism to see that this administration ignores the law…the fuck have you been.
Murdered. Shot on the back.
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.
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.
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.
Stop playing around. They said the DoJ was ordered to release the Epstein Files. They didn’t say if it was a bill or a court order, but you are splitting hairs. His point was that the rule of law isn’t being followed, and you want to parse the irrelevant details.
If they can ignore it so can we
I see it another way: This shit would send waves of protests and anger in so many other countries but over here in the US and Canada we just shrug our shoulders and say “the law will handle this”. It clearly doesn’t, and it takes forever to get anythjng does work to show up, and the whole time it’s [not] happening no one is actually treating it as seriously as they need to.
Minnesota should be removing ICE from the state. You talk about the law like it’s going to save anyone but they’re already there doing illegal things and Minnesota is fully within its right to tell the shove off, so where is that fight? What good are these rules if they can be ignored? What good are they if there are zero real consequences?
Trump has dozens of felonies to his name and then he got to be the goddamn president. That entire exercise was performative so why the fuck should anyone trust anything?
This comment is an insult to the thousands of Minnesotan’s out there in -10 degree weather protesting.
It’s perfectly understandable to be angry and to want to see something done.
It is not understandable to think that, just because there is anger and frustration that we can ignore the rules, laws and principals of the country that we claim to want to keep.
If someone thinks that people should be shooting ICE officers in the street then they are an agent of chaos, not a supporter of the United States.
This doesn’t change because there are fascists in office. If you don’t want fascists in office then vote people into congress in the midterms that can impeach and remove them because that is how our system works. The people pushing FUD and violence want people to think that this is impossible, that the only choices are that we should just give up, comply in advance or start killing people.
It’s bullshit, it’s a pushed message that is amplified by people who have no context to understand the decisions that they’re promoting.
There is no world where abandoning democracy and our system of government to engage in an orgy of violence is the correct path. Anyone who thinks otherwise is not on our team.
If Renee Good had actually run over that ICE terrorist, she might have lived.
Self defense.
