Immigration officers claim sweeping power to enter homes without a judge's warrant, memo says

Federal immigration officers are asserting sweeping power to forcibly enter people's homes without a judge's warrant, according to an internal Immigration and Customs Enforcement memo obtained by The Associated Press, marking a sharp reversal of longstanding guidance meant to respect constitutional limits on government searches.


Writs of Assistance were broad search warrants that allowed British customs officials to search property without a court order and force law enforcement officials to help them. In 1761, James Otis challenged the Writs in court, leading John Adams to say, "American Independence was then and there born."

James Otis and the Birth of the American Revolution

The most significant event associated with American resistance to British policies is the 1761 Massachusetts court case of Paxton v. Gray. Following the death of King George II, new Writs of Assistance — search warrants — needed to be issued to British customs officials under the name of King George III.

A group of merchants in Boston believed Writs of Assistance were illegal and filed a lawsuit. They were represented in court by James Otis and Oxenbridge Thacher, who argued the Writs were illegal and infringed on the rights of the merchants.

During the proceedings, Otis delivered a fiery speech that lasted anywhere from four to five hours. One of the key points he made was that homes should be protected from being searched by British customs officials on a whim. He said, "...one of the most essential branches of English liberty is the freedom of one's house. A man's house is his castle..."

FBI agent quits after Trump officials try to blame the victim, Renee Good, in fatal ICE shooting

After the Trump administration decided that investigating the fatal ICE shooting of Renee Nicole Good had less to do with the guy who pulled the trigger and more to do with why the victim had the audacity to be in the bullet's trajectory, an FBI agent from the Minneapolis field office decided his moral compass was incompatible with federal employment.

Unless you want to go along with the narrative you got to do what you got to do.  In this case quit.  I wish him luck finding a new position.  Perhaps when the time is right he can put some of the trump regime behind bars.

The Black Trenchcoat and Black Uniforms for the ICE Stormtroopers are OBVIOUSLY meant to remind people of the Nazi Black Shirts, the SS Elite Military division and the Gestapo Secret Police.



Trump is an out of the closet White Supremacist, and he has no shortage of people in the law enforcement biz with the same political persuasion that are part of the MAGA faithful.  There is no question Trumpler is modeling his visual "look" to tie the subconscious collective memory to the 3rd Reich.  It's part of the fear campaign.

If indeed the election actually takes place, it's going to be an absolute MESS of challenges, recounts and lawsuits, besides stationing ICE Blackshirts around polling places to "detain" as many Brown people as possible before they can actually make it to a voting booth.  Then after a few months when some court actually certifies the election, it will bee a few more months before the Speaker actually swears them in, which only happens if by then the FBI hasn't supplied some Venezuelans with enough C4 to vaporize the Superbowl.

The window dressing that was "democracy" in the FSoA is just about done.  How long will fascist repression of dissent last now before collapse moves to the next stage of violent rebellion and failure of the state?

Rushed to the hospital, his condition rapidly deteriorated, with anoxic brain injury, shock, multi-organ failure, and complete kidney failure, leading to the cessation of brain activity.  The use of Nalaxone tells you that ICE is covering something up.  That is if you have a brain.
