> I think the main benefit is the same as with any law: if you have a law with no consequences for the people who break it, you don’t really have a law.

How do you feel about ICE raiding citizens homes without warrants? How about door to door raids?

If ICE cannot even follow the 4th and 5th amendments then they should be jailed themselves.





They currently use administrative warrants but I’m in favor of requiring judicial warrants.

Administrative warrants aren’t legal court issued warrants, we’re have three branches of government for a reason. As far as the law of the land goes these ICE officers are violating most of the Bill of Rights.

Boss, they already require judicial warrants. They're blatantly violating constitutional rights. Do you think we have constitutional rights or not? Do we have laws or not?

I agree, but I’m clarifying the facts: they’re claiming an administrative warrant gives them authority to enter a house, not no warrant as OP stated.

Great, since we are all in agreement, let's see if we can put it clear terms.

Administrative warrants are civil in nature and do not give authority to enter a house or any private space. Using them as such is in violation of the fourth amendment.


An administrative warrant is just an email from their boss telling them to do it. It's not a real thing

Has this ever been tested in court?

What would that even mean? You present the judge an email from your boss and ask "Your Honour, is this an email from my boss?"

This is a serious topic but holy crap can you imagine that. I feel like I’m in bizarro world that anyone takes that argument seriously.
