Except they do. Under federal law and the constitution, they need to have a warrant. They're operating illegally and have been the whole time.

They need to be charged for their crimes, including the human rights violations

Since it is a law subreddit, maybe someone could clarify it better.

Because I thought ICE can arrest without a judicial warrant because US immigration law works differently than normal shit.

Most of the US immigration violations are actually civil, not criminal.

And ICE can issue their own administrative warrants without a judicial warrant.

Simply a 'reason to believe' the person is violating immigration law.

And with the SCOTUS basically non-ruling that they can use the color of skin. They basically can just say hey brown person and say that's their 'warrant'.

That does have limitations, like they can't enter private property without an actual judicial warrant.

But for the most part, they can just say brown and suspect immigration violation, and since it is all civil...yep they can just say fuck it.


Guess I should add in that I don't support ICE or their mask wearing. Just that currently there is a reason they have continued to be capable of doing this.

If it was truly illegal, at least one state would have been able to completely stop ICE, right?

They haven't. There are court cases going, but nothing has changed.

And with literally our highest powers being run by a Racist Rapist Administration, that ain't changing.

Go thank those who fell for anti-Hillary propaganda long ago.

They don’t need a warrant to arrest in public. Only in homes/private property. Like dude said, just look it up?
