Donald Trump’s administration has reportedly instructed immigration enforcement officers to cut back on arrests inside courthouses and to no longer enter homes without a warrant, backing off two controversial policies that have sparked violent and chaotic scenes in the president’s mass deportation campaign.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement field offices across the country were verbally instructed by their superiors that they should no longer enter homes unless they have a judicial warrant, two Homeland Security officials told NBC News.
Last year, ICE’s then-acting director Todd Lyons told officers to rely on the agency’s own permissions to enter a person’s home — rather than seek a warrant from a judge. Homeland Security then issued a lengthy press release defending the policy.

Because two anonymous DHS goons wouldn’t lie /s
Also, the fact that they (allegedly) did this verbally instead of putting it in writing pretty much guarantees it’s going to suddenly have never happened the moment an attorney tries to reference it in court
don’t believe these liars
Cutting back <> Stopped
Just an idea… lets get all the ICE agents hanged for what they did. But then cut back on the hangings. Sounds appropriate.
Is ‘<>’ a lemmy thing? I’ve seen it used around here but personally I use =/=.
It’s a BASIC thing.
Ahhhh that makes sense, I started learning basic in middle school to program games on my calculator, but never got very far into it.
TI-BASIC is one of the variants that uses its own tokens instead of character strings for keywords and inequivalence operators, so it actually uses a ≠ symbol.
and to no longer enter homes without a warrant, backing off two controversial policies
Illegal
Entering homes without a judicial warrant is illegal, don’t soften it with “controversial.”
Yeah, sure they are. Now take off the masks.

But not in writing, so it isn’t a policy. More like “Look guys, things are getting a little hot right now, so for the next couple weeks, let’s keep a lid on things, until it blows over. Once we can convince the Demotards that we’re playing nice, they’ll restore our funding, and then we can go back to having the fun we all joined up for.”
The heat immediately died down when they stopped killing white people. I had people screaming at me that this wasn’t racial, but the second you stop killing white people you stop seeing as much pushback.
I’ve heard this before, that Good and Pretti only got attention because they were white, but I don’t buy it. I think they got attention because A) Their deaths were legitimately outrageous, and B) There was lots of good video, from multiple angles.
There absolutely is systemic racism in every level of our society, but I still believe that video makes the biggest difference between an incident becoming famous or not. George Floyd wasn’t white, yet his death STILL sparked an enormous response, because it was on VIDEO.
Our media relies on video more than anything else, so if you can illustrate a genuine atrocity with a clear video, that’s going to run in every media outlet, no matter what color the victim is.
They’re “cutting back” because States are starting to push back by criminalizing civil arrests without a judicial warrant in courthouses.
Sure, they’re no longer cuffing people in court, but there’s nothing stopping them from cuffing people once they leave the courthouse. Also
other controversial immigration arrests are still in place, including during routine check-ins at ICE offices.
