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.
ICE created some internal rationalization that warrantless behavior was perfectly okay, and they were so sure it was legal that they hid it from everyone, including Congress, the Courts, and the Citizens, a sure sign that EVERYTHING is above board.
New Memo Dated Sunday Jan 25th.
We disagree with the judges ruling, and still think our administrative warrants allow us to enter a house. Carry on.
Who’s gonna enforce that?
My buddies Smith and Wesson?
When the system is rotten from the top down then nothing matters.
What are they gonna do about it? Nothing…
Document, record, and let the lawsuits run wild. All US citizens should be able to open a lawsuit on ICE for the damage they are causing.
There are 335 million people in America. When this is all over, every single person that didn’t support MAGA should be given a tax free gift of $1 million. Registered Republicans need not apply.
Problem with those secret memos is someone had to issue them. And if illegal. … consequencea
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:
And who cares about the rest as it’s irrelevant. Ice will do what it wants and doesn’t give a shit about judges or their rulings, and judges won’t enforce their tulings.
Great! Now let’s see someone enforce it…
As if theyre gonna follow that ruling
Anybody who still thinks these judicial rulings from lower courts mean anything at all haven’t been paying attention at all for the last year.
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 in the back.
It looked like those liveleaks you see of roadside executions in the Congo or by cartels or something. I would’ve expected every American standing at their doorstep with a firearm at this point, what with all the bluster they spout. Boy was I wrong.
%100 correct.
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.

Under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Donald Trump in November, the DOJ was required to release all the Epstein files by Dec. 19.
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 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”.
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.
Yeah, so what?
Judges ruled the tariffs were illegal and the president doesn’t have the authority to set them.
Judges ruled creating DOGE was illegal.
Judges ruled the DOGE firings were illegal.
Judges ruled the Venezuelan boat missile strikes were illegal.
Judges ruled the Epstein files must be released.
And still, nothing. Not just that, but everyone seems to have forgotten the US Martials are responsible for enforcing court orders and rulings. Have ANY US Martials been deployed to enforce these orders? Of course not.
The hard Rs are bringing us fascism, whether we like it or not, the limp Ds are rolling out the red carpet for them, and all of it is being funded by tech billionaires
When we take it back, and we WILL take it back, we are going after every one of those Traitors and they will feel the full wrath of the law for every single criminal count they violated. Treason, Corruption, and Pedophilia will no longer be tolerated in the next version of America.
Idk I think a secret memo will always take precedence. That’s the nature of secret memos.
You can write anything down and make it so
More sanctions, less warnings.
Why is “the most transparent administration in history” sending secret memos that affect every single person in the United States, by the way?
If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; or
If two or more persons go in disguise on the highway, or on the premises of another, with intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege so secured—
They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.
Seems to fit perfectly.
Supreme court reversal of this within a month.
Anybody who still thinks these judicial rulings from lower courts mean anything at all haven’t been paying attention at all for the last year.
Fuck off with the negatively.
You misspelled “functional pattern recognition”

Looking at how things have been handled over the past year and making an educated guess as to what will follow is not negativity, ita practicality.
While the positive part is that there was a ruling that adhered to the actual law of the US, being prepared for what comes next is the smart move.
Do not expect this to be enforced, expect it to be challenged in the farce that is the current Supreme Court, and prepare accordingly.
Edit:
I’ll just leave this here as an example for the people who think being prepared is being negative.

Clearly illegal…and yet.
Edit 2:

Pretty sure there would be an arrested ICE agent or 5 here if the law mattered.
Keep pretending that it wasn’t time to start fighting two years ago.
The best time to start fighting was 2015. The second best time is now.
It’ll be hilarious when someone turns it around and uses the precedent against the people responsible for this.
Except suddenly there would be contradicting judicial ruling and enforcement of the rule of law, and the dems in charge would “take the high road.”
US judge rules
And who cares about the rest as it’s irrelevant. Ice will do what it wants and doesn’t give a shit about judges or their rulings, and judges won’t enforce their tulings.
So if a judge says something about ice, it doesn’t matter. If he makes a ruling about ice, it doesn’t matter.
There is no news here, call me when a judge, any judge, somehow enforces their rulings.
You mean like Judge Dredd?
Niko Bellic is particularly good at law. This part of his resume stood out to me:
Involvement in Criminal Law particularly in cases of manslaughter, homicide, drug dealing, extortion, racketeering, and grand theft auto. Launched, and successfully tried, cases against corrupt individuals including division heads and company CEOs
He looks like a great fit for the anti-corruption law team. Thumbs up from me for a hire.
