ICE Can Now Enter Your Home Without a Warrant to Look for Migrants, DOJ Memo Says
A new memo from the Trump administration reveals something shocking: ICE agents have been told they can enter homes without a warrant to arrest migrants, based on little more than suspicion. The Ma…
The March 14 directive, signed by Attorney General Pam Bondi, uses an obscure 18th-century law — the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 — to give law enforcement nationwide the power to bypass basic constitutional protections.
According to the memo, agents can break into a home if getting a warrant is “impracticable,” and they don’t need a judge’s approval. Instead, immigration officers can sign their own administrative warrants. The bar for action is low — a “reasonable belief” that someone might be part of a Venezuelan gang is enough.

Considering they've actively deported someone for having a tattoo that supports autism awareness as evidence of being a Venezuelan gang member, the fact I had a burrito for lunch today is probably an equally "reasonable belief" for them.
This is an alarming suspension of all of the protections of the Constitution if this is allowed to stand.
I have a temporary tattoo, one of the plant ink ones that last for up to 2 weeks. It's a derpy black cat. Probably a Venezuelan gang symbol.
Probably a terrible idea ... but ... someone/people should hand out temporary MS13 tattoos at protests. Organize it so everyone can get one.
Straight to CECOT with you! /s
Hey, this guy had a burrito, let's get him! Also, we may as well pick up his family at the same time, and his neighbors if they make a fuss!
Don't forget to shoot my dog before you leave. /s
It's really the most humane solution since you'd all be unavailable to feed it.
