re: AP: memo authorizes ICE to enter homes by force without a judicial warrant

How does an illegal/criminal own a home in the US and, if they don't own the home, the owner is harboring a criminal.

Tell a game warden they can't.

You of all people should understand that due process is a sliding scale.

But we're talking about the 4A, and this aspect of it really isn't (as the law stands now).

There’s no evidence these laws are being violated.

The intention of the article is that may start to happen.

None of this would even be an issue if you and your Liberal Filth

I don’t believe it’s an issue now. Just a sensationalized headline. They are still required to have a warrant, as they should in my opinion.

quote:

It’s called probable cause. LEO’s have always been allowed to forcefully enter a home with probable cause, without a warrant.

yes, and they still do. Reasons include:

1. They have your consent
If you—or someone else with authority over the property—voluntarily allows the police inside, no warrant is needed. But this consent must be freely given; if you feel coerced, threatened or tricked into letting them in, that may not count as true consent in the eyes of the law.

2. There are exigent circumstances
In emergencies, police can enter a home without a warrant. These “exigent circumstances” include:

They believe they need to prevent physical harm to someone inside, such as when someone hears screams for help coming from inside
They are acting to prevent the destruction of evidence, under the reasonable belief that there is no time to delay
They are in “hot pursuit” of a suspect who is fleeing a felony charge, such as when they are chasing someone who has just robbed a bank
The key here is urgency. If waiting for a warrant could result in harm or loss of evidence, courts may deem the entry lawful.

3. There is evidence of a crime in plain view.

"we'd like to hurry this up rather than wait for a judge to give us a warrant" isn't a valid reason.

I found the actual memo buried behind the press release.

The memo states the Fourth Amendment applies including the exceptions to the warrant requirement.

This entire story is an embarrassment for AP. Fake news.

How can you be so frickin' wrong, so often??

quote:

---

the Court has carved out a series of exceptions for consent searches, motor vehicle searches, evidence in plain view, exigent circumstances, border searches, and other situations.

---

1) exigent circumstance allows law enforcement to enter a structure without a search warrant in a situation where people are in imminent danger, evidence faces imminent destruction, or a suspect's escape is imminent

People that have no citizenship in the US are certainly suspects to be viewed as imminent escapees

2) 8 USC 1357: Powers of immigration officers and employees

quote:

---

The statute authorizes immigration officers to interrogate any person believed to be an alien about their right to be in the United States and to arrest an alien without a judicial warrant when the officer has reason to believe the individual is in violation of immigration law and is likely to escape before a warrant can be obtained.

---

Again, exigent circumstances, and already approved by the USSC

3) 8 U.S. Code § 1226 - Apprehension and detention of aliens

quote:

---

(e) Judicial review

The Attorney General’s discretionary judgment regarding the application of this section shall not be subject to review. No court may set aside any action or decision by the Attorney General under this section regarding the detention of any alien or the revocation or denial of bond or parole.

The police can most certainly enter your home without a warrant.

Right, but they need probable cause to think a crime is taking place.
