1ICE's Alleged Policy Shift on Home Entry Warrants
A whistleblower memo reportedly reveals that ICE is training agents to disregard decades of Fourth Amendment precedent by asserting sweeping power to forcibly enter homes without a judge's warrant. This new guidance authorizes agents to use force based solely on a more narrow administrative warrant, which an ICE agent can fill out in the field, rather than a judicial warrant requiring evidence and a judge's sign-off. While initially framed for cases with a 'final order of removal,' a footnote in the memo reportedly indicates ICE is not limiting itself exclusively to those specific immigrants, opening the door for broader application.

2Minneapolis Family Teargassed by ICE with Infants
Sean and Destiny Jackson, along with their four children (including a six-month-old baby), were teargassed by ICE agents in Minneapolis. They were driving home from a basketball game and attempting to pick up Destiny's mother when they were caught in an ICE operation. The family was in their car when agents deployed flashbangs and tear gas, causing severe respiratory distress, particularly for the infant who stopped breathing and required resuscitation. All family members were hospitalized.
Destiny and Sean Jackson's direct account of the incident, including the baby's condition and the hospitalization of all family members.
3Government's False Narrative and Family's Trauma
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published a now-deleted tweet accusing the Jackson family of being 'radical agitators' who brought children to 'violent riots.' The family vehemently denies this, stating they were not protesting and were simply trying to get home. This false accusation, combined with the traumatic event, has led to ongoing physical ailments for Destiny and profound psychological distress for the entire family, including their children, who now express fear of police and ask for an 'armored car.' The parents also live in fear of retribution for speaking out.
