WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.
Q: You're a constitutional lawyer. Can you detail the 4th Amendment protections someone has if ICE approaches their home w/an administrative warrant?
MIKE JOHNSON: When ICE goes to execute a warrant, it's issued by an immigration judge, & that is a sufficient legal authority to go apprehend someone

There better not be one damn penny of taxpayer dollars spent on Erika Kirk’s show via DOD, nor should the US military be used to promote a partisan political event.

So we're not going to follow the constitution.
The Supreme Court is allowing them to arrest people based on race, the job they have, or the language they speak or even their accent...somehow that's reasonable suspicion? Or probable cause?
FYI- "Just following orders" is not a defense.

It's rather dizzying how much more responsive to the Epstein file releases at least some European countries have been than the US.

I think not enough white people are taking the voting rights issues seriously enough. They are killing people and then offering to stop killing if the state gives up the voter registration data. This should be setting off massive alarms for EVERYONE. (I’m looking at you, white people.)

Clearly this is part of the admins ploy.
But it is well past time to consider how addled Trump is and that his faculties are so diminished now, someone else is doing these things. That alone would require the 25th.
But my point is people need to start talking openly about his mental state.

“An administration official gave away the game to Punchbowl News, admitting that these “de-escalatory measures” are about placating Senate Democrats so they don’t seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package.”

This is accurate. Trump has not changed course. He is trying to contain political damage. That's it. There is not pivot. There is no shift at this point. Past experience shows the "new tone," if you can call it that, will be temporary.

Media is doing the credulous "new tone" thing again—as with Trump on Russia-Ukraine—presenting BS about MN/Good/Pretti/ICE as sincere.
But as @gregsargent.bsky.social argues, govt actions matter more, and Trump's rhetorical shift is an effort to maintain the brutal ICE/BP campaign, not curb it.

I'm calling bullshit on the media narrative that Trump is "pivoting" and "deescalating" on his ICE raids. The threshold is this: As long as the military occupations and the treatment of US cities as enemy territory continue, there's no pivot. ICE out. 1/
