Make sure people know their rights if approached by ICE
An ICE warrant is not the same as a warrant signed by a judge. It is an administrative document issued by ICE officers, not a judicial warrant backed by probable cause. Because of this, it does not grant ICE agents the legal authority to enter a home without consent or to conduct a search. Under the Fourth Amendment, a warrant must be signed by a judge to be considered a constitutional warrant.
With Greg Abbott supporting ICE efforts, I just want people to be prepared, just in case they’re approached. I don’t know for sure what’s happening, but I’d rather share this information now than stay silent. Know your rights and stay safe.
