    For anyone unclear on what a violation this is, the 4th Amendment is not a long read:

    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.

    I suppose The Constitution doesn’t apply anymore anyway, so I’m not sure why I bother to even post that.

      Incoming MAGA argument: It’s not unreasonable to let ICE search for immigrants! It doesn’t say a warrant is mandatory!

      I absolutely hate this game, but just imagine if a Democrat did this… The Republicans were already freaking out during the Biden administration over FEMA workers avoiding houses with trump signs because magas were hunting them. They just cried political persecution as usual…
