  • Tom Homan, a former ICE director, claims that administrative warrants are sufficient for ICE agents to enter private residences, despite the Brennan Center stating that this goes against the Constitution and longstanding policy, with the center noting that "administrative warrants do not by themselves authorize forceful entry into a private home under traditional Fourth Amendment law."
  • Homan argues that the Immigration Nationality Act gives ICE the power to use administrative warrants to arrest individuals, and that Congress would need to legislate changes to this policy, as stated in his response to O'Keefe's question: "Congress themselves wrote the Immigration Nationality Act that gave power on the administrative warrant to arrest somebody, and that's what's set up in federal statutes."
