ICE Memo Authorizes Agents to Enter Homes Without Judicial Warrants
Jan 21, 2026 · St. Paul, MN
A leaked ICE memorandum reveals that federal immigration agents are authorized to use force to enter residences based solely on administrative orders, without judicial warrants. The policy applies to individuals with final deportation orders. A U.S. citizen in Minnesota was forcibly removed from his home by ICE agents without a warrant, detained briefly, and then returned after agents discovered his citizenship status.
