Democrats must stand firm on this point. Compliance with a protection present at the birth of our republic should be โnon-negotiable.โ If complying with the Constitution is intolerable, ICE must be abolished and replaced with an agency that views the Constitution as its charter, not an obstacle.

The requirement of a warrant based on probable cause to enter a personโs home is a touchstone of the Bill of Rights. According to John Adams, the British practice of issuing โgeneral writsโ authorizing unbounded searches of homes led to the โfirst Act of oppositionโ in the Revolution.

There will be a lot more immigrants detained and deported because an Appeals Court gave Trump a win on detention policy. Due process will not occur. And it makes no difference how long an immigrant has lived in the U.S. share.google/CkojIO0ZiVaT...
