ICE has been entering homes without judicial warrants since last summer: Sources – NBC Bay Area

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers have been entering homes without judicial warrants since last summer, according to two administration officials who spoke to NBC News. This practice, authorized by an internal document from May 2025, permits officers to rely on administrative warrants, which have a lower legal standard than judicial warrants. Critics, including the American Civil Liberties Union, argue this policy violates the Fourth Amendment. The Department of Homeland Security has confirmed the policy is in use, but details on its implementation remain scarce.
