This is insane not just the explicit "go break the 4A" substance but how they knew how bad it was, acting in guilty paranoia to cover it up and suppress the written evidence.
This isn't how running a government agency works. This is what a criminal conspiracy looks like, because that's what it is.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Will Democratic "leaders" like Schumer continue to support & fund ICE now that a memo revealed they are ignoring the 4th Amendment, and the autopsy showed they murdered Geraldo Lunas Campos in detention and they have expanded their reign of terror to Maine?
If so, why?

this. it’s not a misunderstanding; it’s a form of norm entrepreneurship.
This actually makes a lot more sense of the DHS account posting that reasonable suspicion was enough to make an arrest (false: probable cause is required). They’re deliberately defining down the Fourth Amendment in policy, practice, and messaging.

A Cuban detainee’s death at an El Paso federal immigration detention center was ruled a homicide Wednesday, with the medical examiner finding he was suffocated while restrained, contradicting immigration officials’ claim that he died by suicide.

May have mentioned that while there may be few procedural options, in the lead up to the Civil War Charles Sumner was caned on the Senate floor and while I never understood that before it makes perfect sense now and I would support it.

Congress ordered CBP to create a biometric entry/exit system 25 years ago. The problem was that the tech wasn't there until recently, and the agency never pushed hard for it. In late 2020, CBP proposed a rule to implement it. That rule sat until 2025, when the Trump admin finalized it December 26.
It appears the jetway photos at Logan were part of CBP "biometric exit" program, which has been tested for years but was quietly approved for wider rollout in Sept. (Doesn't explain threats to passenger)

Our reporting has found that ICE sent 600 immigrant kids to detention in federal shelters in 2025.
A 17-year-old was detained at a traffic stop because officers couldn’t make contact with his dad, who is deaf.
