The party of law and order literally just wrote themselves a memo that says they don't have to follow the 4th Amendment.
That's right, ICE intends to perform illegal search and seizures without a warrant.
Add that to the list with "we had to beat up the police on Jan 6 to defend our democracy".

The White House OMB is ordering an administration-wide review of federal funding for over a dozen states, the vast majority of which are led by Democratic governors. The review is ostensibly meant to root out “fraud” in those states.

ICE stopped paying 3rd‑party medical providers for detainee medical care since Oct ’25. New providers won’t process claims until at least April ’26. Detainees may be denied essential services because ICE hasn’t funded them.
