Important, terrifying story on ICE's use of administrative subpoenas. And thanks to @johnwoodrowcox.bsky.social for highlighting my research on these subpoenas.

For more on the origins of ICE's warrant-issuing power and how it has transformed since then, see repository.law.umich.edu/cgi/viewcont...

Immigration officers assert sweeping power to enter homes without a judge's warrant, memo says An Immigration and Customs Enforcement memo obtained by The Associated Press reveals that the agency allows immigration officers to forcibly enter homes to make arrests without a judicial warrant.

An administrative "warrant" issued by ICE -- which acts as the police and prosecutor in the deportation system -- is very different from the judicial warrant that the 4A requires for forcible entry into homes.

Google Secretly Handed ICE Data About Pro-Palestine Student Activist Google handed over Gmail account information to ICE before notifying the student or giving him an opportunity to challenge the subpoena.

As ICE hunted for campus activists to deport this spring, they sent administrative subpoenas to Google and Meta about Cornell students Momodou Taal and Amandla Thomas-Johnson. Google complied with the subpoena about Thomas-Johnson's account without notifying him. theintercept.com/2025/09/16/g...

ICE's failure in this respect can make it difficult or impossible for detained people with limited English proficiency to contact lawyers and prevent them from doing things as basic as understanding notices from the government and filing critical documents in their own cases. (2/2)
