US EditionICE Memo Expands Warrantless Arrest Authority; Minnesota Leaders to Testify on Fraud Allegations
The memo lowers the legal bar for warrantless arrests and home entries, expanding ICE's enforcement powers after a 2025 Supreme Court ruling, critics say.
- A newly disclosed ICE memo expands officers' authority to make warrantless arrests nationwide, while Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons asserts agents may enter homes without a judicial warrant.
- Noah Feldman argues the change follows a 2025 U.S. Supreme Court decision that reduced protections for stops, while Bloomberg called the Trump administration memo "outrageous" for expanding enforcement powers.
- By redefining 'flight risk,' the memos broaden detention criteria to include ethnic appearance, language, or location, allowing ICE officers to detain anyone likely to escape.
- Legal challenges are likely because ABC7's Gil Soffer warned `The net effect is we're likely to see more warrantless arrests,` after a federal judge ruled such arrests unlawful in October.
- If implemented broadly, the memos could authorize broad street and home sweeps detaining immigrant communities based on appearance, while federal courts may test civil‑liberty safeguards such as judicial warrants before home entry.
