1) Immigration judges aren't "judges." They are part of the executive branch.
2) ICE's administrative warrants aren't even signed by IJs.
3) A real judicial warrant is required for arrests in homes (absent exigency). Payton v. New York, 445 U.S. 573 (1980).

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

They just flipped two of the holdouts and passed the rule. Final passage vote for the funding bill coming up mid afternoon
House now voting on the Republican rule (procedural measure) to bring the funding bill to the floor. All Dems present and voting against. R leaders were broadcasting a lot of confidence about winning this vote, which once again was misplaced. Likely they get it eventually but it's not going well rn

Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"

Good morning. We're monitoring the journey of those 50+ Cuban men who thought they were being deported, then found themselves stranded at Guantanamo Bay. It looks like they were transferred back to Louisiana early today. Will they be consolidated into a belated January repatriation flight?

After Border Patrol shot two people in Portland, DHS claimed they were "vicious gang members" tied to a past shooting.
But records I obtained reveal a US prosecutor has since directly contradicted DHS, saying, "We're not suggesting he is a gang member." My dive into how DHS' claims have collapsed:
