ICE says its officers can forcibly enter homes during immigration operations without judicial warrants: 2025 memo

An internal Immigration and Customs Enforcement document in May shows that ICE told officers and agents they can forcibly enter homes of people subject to deportation without warrants signed by judges.

With Congress out of town, DHS’s funding formally lapsed at 12:01 a.m. Saturday. That means that federal employees at agencies such as FEMA, the Transportation Security Administration
