An Immigration and Customs Enforcement memo obtained by The Associated Press reveals that the agency allows immigration officers to forcibly enter homes to make arrests without a judicial warrant.

    Memo be damned, this clearly violates the 4th amendment,

    Fourth Amendment

    The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

    But the other branches of our democracy are captured and complicit in this disregard for the rule of law. It explicitly says people/person not citizen, not legal person, not law abiding citizen or person, just a person has this right no other qualifiers. My fear is if the rule of law continues to crumble as fast as it has over this past year, shit is going to get extremely ugly and I fear what this means for my country. It’s clear that protesting only isn’t doing it and I fear again that elections aren’t going to solve this problem.
