The Trump administration has secretly allowed immigration agents to invade homes without a warrant for over a month, according to a leaked internal memo.

The memo, obtained by USA Today and issued by Attorney General Pam Bondi March 14, orders Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials to break into the homes of suspected members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua without a warrant.

It stated that ICE can curb the “proactive procedures” put in place to obtain a warrant, since they “will not always be realistic or effective in swiftly identifying and removing alien enemies.”

      And then what?

      The executive branch enforces the judiciary’s decisions. It’s toothless when the executive branch ignores it. The third check is for the legislative branch to impeach and convict. And we know that won’t happen.

        2nd amendment - 1791

        Civil war - 1861

        Most of the southern states didn’t really even exist yet.

        The 2nd was written because the founders literally just finished fighting a war with private arms against a country that tried to take them and oppress the citizens.

    Didn’t he just sign an executive order that “allows” them to do this, or did I hallucinate?
