WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.
Q: You're a constitutional lawyer. Can you detail the 4th Amendment protections someone has if ICE approaches their home w/an administrative warrant?
MIKE JOHNSON: When ICE goes to execute a warrant, it's issued by an immigration judge, & that is a sufficient legal authority to go apprehend someone

Trump: ‘We should take over the voting’
Trump, as usual, offered no evidence for any of his claims.

BREAKING: A U.S. official has filed a bombshell complaint accusing Tulsi Gabbard of serious wrongdoing, so explosive and deeply classified they’ve triggered months of behind-the-scenes chaos over how (or whether) Congress should even be allowed to see them, according to the WSJ.

I set out to tally up just how much the Trumps have made off the Presidency—The total then was $3.4 billion. Nearly six months later, at the end of Trump’s first year back in the White House…: the total has now reached four billion dollars.

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.
But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

Amazon has cut a combined 28,000 jobs since October. Its CEO made $40M+ in 2024
UPS has announced 78,000 job cuts since last year. Its CEO made $24M.
HP announced up to 6,000 layoffs in November. Its CEO made $21M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
